Strength

Truth

"Haze? Are you ok?" I heard Gracie say and looked over to her to find her trying to calm Hazel. I rushed over to them and when I tried to pick Haze up she snarled at me. I don't know what came over me but I snarled back and she whimpered and submitted.

"I'm so sorry Haze. I don't know what that was. What do you need? I approached her slowly. As a child, she had very little control over her wolf. So if I pushed too hard, her wolf could completely take over.

"Run. I need to run Saina." She growled out and I nodded.

"We're almost at the forest-" I got cut off by Acacia.

"Forest? The tunnel that we have been walking in for hours leads to the forest? Which forest?"

"The Redwoods." I answered her and looked at Haze who was trying to calm down.

How long? She asked me.

Ten minutes if we run. But we have to run at a humans pace or we could make it in in two. She nodded.

Are you having a panic attack? She shrugged.

I feel cramped and my wolf keeps attacking the walls in my head. I need to shift. I swore under my breath.

"Ok ok. Um. Acacia, will you grab everything? We need to run."

She and Gracie rushed to get evertthing. Whatever they forgot, I'll replace. She grabbed the bags and I grabbed the girls.

"Cacia? How fast can you run?" I asked her and she smirked.

"Faster than you probably think." I adjusted the girls and told her to take off. She jogged at first then burst into a run. She was fast. But I'm faster.

I quickly caught up to her and her mouth dropped open. "Your not that fast." I winked at her and ran past her. I honestly wasn't really running. It was just a little more than a jog.

Haze cried out softly and I picked up my pace. We had just a few more minutes. I can see the door.

"Hold on for a little longer ok?" She nodded and kissed her head.

"Try to think about something else." The door got closer with everystep. I looked back to find Acacia on my heels. She winked at me amd my stomach fluttered.

Not the time Nai. We reached the door and I kicked it open. The tunnel led us right into the middle of the forest so we were easily concealed.

Hazel jumped out of my arms and striped.I set Gracie down before I followed her lead and quickly shed my clothes.

"W-What are you doing? " Acacia said behind me just as I shed my underwear. I turned and she looked down and inhaled sharply before turning her head she mumbled something that I couldn't hear.

Haze growled loudly and she shifted. I looked at Acacia who looked absolutely shocked.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I just didn't want to lose you. Please forgive me." And with that I shifted.

My wolf was different. I had a shimmery coat. One second it would look pure white, the next it would be black and if you looked at it straight on it would look like pure silver. Dava said it made his head hurt.

Haze took off but she stayed within my hearing range. I looked back to Acacia to see her talking to Gracie. I snorted and she jumped slightly and moved away from me.

I whimpered and she sighed. I got onto my belly and slowly crawled towards her. She didn't move and when I got to her she put her hand out. I had to bend my head down a little bit so she can touch the top of my head.
