Nava sat up in bed sweating. She looked around taking a minute to realize where she was before she recognized her bedroom. Looking to the corner that was dimly lit she looked for the familiar figure she knew would be there.

"Dustin," she whispered. Dustin looked up from the book he was holding and smiled. "You okay?" he asked. Nava nodded, still a little shaky from her nightmare. Dean set his book down and stood up walking to the bed. "I am sorry, it sounded bad. Do you want to talk about it?" Dustin asked as he helped Nava lay back down.

Nava didn't really want to talk about the dream but knew that Dustin wouldn't let her go back to sleep without hearing about it first. Nava took a deep breath and nodded. She prepared the lie she told every time.

"I dreamed of the first time I turned into a wolf again. I remembered running away and being so afraid. I remember Isabella looking so excited. I remembered my mother's scream and my father's horrified face as I turned into a wolf. It was horrible"

It wasn't a lie per se. Not the full truth but not a lie either. It was a memory that haunted her. It first happened when she was ten. Nava was now 25 and she still had no idea what happened that day. So far, the only time she had turned into a wolf was whenever she saw someone's blood. When Nava was fifteen, Isabella found her. Isabella had run away a year after Nava had.

They now ran a multi-billion dollar weapons company together. Kind of. Nava ran it. Isabella took care of security and weapons that did not require mechanics.. Nava had found out she could look at any mechanical device and rebuild it better than before. Isabella would create the ideas for the weapons and Nava would build them. She could only make things like guns and bombs. Isabella however handled anything that didn't require technical genius. Things like swords, knives, and security. Yes, she had to work with tech for security but even Isabella could figure that out. Their company was called Wolf Defenses and Arms.

Dustin rubbed his hand along Nava's arm, startling her out of the trance. He sighed. "I am sorry. Are you going to tell Isabella?" Nava shook her head. Isabella was already very protective and would freak if she knew Nava had nightmares.

Nava had searched for years for the source of her abilities. Isabella also had special abilities. Instead of turning into a wolf, she could learn any language. Russian, French, Spanish, and any language known to mankind. All she had to do was listen to the language being spoken and then she would instantly pick up on it. Isabella also instead of having technical genius could shoot a gun or bow and arrow without aiming and still hit her target. Both of them also had inhuman strength.

Nava finally fell back asleep. Only to be awoken, minutes later, by her infuriating alarm clock blaring in her ears. She groaned and rolled over onto Dustin's arm. "Do you have to get up?" she asked. Dustin chuckled "Yes darlin', I do." Nava groaned again. "What if you called in sick? You can say you got attacked by a wolf."

Dustin laughed and pulled his arm out from underneath Nava. "What good would that do? You also have work today. If I remember correctly you actually have a weapons expo to prepare for." Nava grabbed a fist full of hair and rolled her eyes.

"Stupid work." She mumbled. Dustin laughed. "Come on Hun. If you hurry and get up I will make breakfast." Nava sat up quickly and jumped out of bed. "Sounds good to me!" she said, pulling out a t-shirt and jeans from the closet.

Nava laughed to herself. Why have the power to turn into a wolf and not the power to work the oven? Dustin had tried to help her learn how to cook but that ended up with them having to remodel their kitchen.

Nava got dressed and walked into the kitchen where she could already smell bacon cooking from the stove. "Can you get out the orange juice?" asked Dustin. "Now that I can do." laughed Nava.
