Succumbing To The Darkness Within (Previously The Gift)

Chapter 16

~Mara's P.O.V~

"So what are these other powers that you talked about?" I am currently in my room, bored, so I decided to talk to Caroline about stuff.

"Well, how can I explain this? You can have elemental powers." She says trying to explain.

"You mean like earth, fire, water and air?"

"Yeah but there's one more. Energy and it one of the strongest one of all and very rare. Each White Wolf give the human at least two of these elements. You can have 2 or more but you can't have all 5."

"Why?" I ask curiously.

"Because if someone does end up having 5, they won't be able to control them all. It would be dangerous, not only to the human but to the wolf too. If the human dies the wolf would die too. Unless it finds a way to survive. If that happens the wolf would have full control and the human half will be gone forever."

"So what are my elements?" I ask excited.

"I don't know, they haven't shown up yet."

I sighed. I wonder why?

"How much do you think I would get."

"I don't know it depends on your personality. If anything I think you would get 3 or 4 because your very strong physically and mentally, caring, pure hearted and you put other's lives before your own."

"Thank you." I say. No one has complimented me that much in a while except for my mom of course.

"Can those powers be used in wolf form?" I ask her.

"Yes but they have their limits, it's better if they are used in human form."

"Oh."

"Mara can we go for a run please?" She pleads.

"Sure I don't see why not. Do I need to carry clothes?"

"No you can shift without ripping them now."

I jump out the window and made my way towards the woods.

"Ready?" I ask her.

"Let's do this."

I speed up a little, and leap into the air. Shifting in midair, I land on my paws. I'm just noticing that my paws are huge.

Feeling the wind through my fur, I began to run. Dodging tree branches, leaping over rocks. I scan the area carefully as I ran. Not wanting to draw any on wanted attention.

1 hour later

One hour of running is exhausting, I made sure I didn't pass the border. Caroline tells me when I'm too close to the border.

I found a river, so I decided to rest there. River's water is crystal blue and glisten in the sunlight. The grass is so green and soft as I lay down, in wolf form, in it.

I catch a scent, it smells terrible.

"Rogue!"

"What are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure. Shift back now. You need to be in human form, if they find out you are the white wolf they'll try to kill you and I'm tapped out, so I wouldn't be able to help you. Shift NOW!"

I did as she said. I hear a scream. My head shoots in it direction, it was coming from the woods. It sounds like a little boy..... Eddie!

I run as fast as I could through the forest towards Eddie.
