After losing everything - and everyone - that she cared about, Trina decides its time to leave her old life behind. A new look, a new name, a new town...what could go wrong? There was nothing holding her back, no strings attached! Her past was behind her, right?"I can do this" I say for the hundreth time, annoyed by my bangs being plastered to my face from this unexpected down pour. "10% chance of rain my ass, try severe thunderstorms as you head out of town!" This can't be fucking happening. Not now. The high I had from deciding to start a new is as dampered down as this flat tire. "COME OFF!!" I scream at the damn lugnut as I use all my strength to crack it loose without breaking the tire iron. I can see it clear as day for.02 of a second when the entire world seems to be lit up by a viscous bolt of lightening. The thunder rumbled my gut and gave me the courage I needed to push the tire iron hard enough to crack the lugnut loose, a little too much strength. "FU" SPLASH. I didn't have time to finish my swear or put my hands out to catch myself from landing face first in the giant, flood pothole that caused this mess. I sat up, gasping for air and sputtering grime out of my mouth. I threw the broken tire iron as hard as I could down the barren back road. My nose feels like I shouldv've been knocked unconscious and left to drown in that damn puddle, it's got to be bleeding but I can't see. I check to see if my watch is still working. 3am?! It really took me 45 minutes to get one lugnut off? Who the hell put this tire on? "What's that smell?" My innerwolf, Tanga was on high alert. My eyes flash red before turning her natural bright orange as I give her control. I feel a growl emmit from my chest as she spins us around. "Easy buttercup, dont get your tail in a knot." We don't know that voice Tanga, be ready to shift. "Who are you? How did you find me?" Tanga growls at the mysterious man. It's impossible to see his figure with human eyesight, thankfully Tanga has that nifty, supernatural, werewolf night vision. I can see he is wearing a trenchcoat, balding, and...smiling? What does he want of us?"Please, allow me." He snaps his fingers. "You can thank me later. Now be a good doggie and let mommy back out so we can talk."Mommy? DOGGIE?? How dare he insult Tanga like that! We are equals, 2 spirits sharing a body, both blessed by the goddess herself! Let me at him Tanga. My eyes switch back to their dull brown as Tanga waits, ready to shift at any second. I can no longer see his figure, I stare daggers atwhere he stands. "No offense of course, I come baring gifts." He points at the tire, brand spanking new. Oh great, he's not human nor wolf. "What's your name, demon?" "All work and no play makes wolfie a dull girl, eh? Oh well, small talk later maybe a little pleasure if we have the time. I will get straight to the point, I need a new partner.""I'm married." I say irritated as I load the spare back into the trunk."You were before... but doesnt matter, I meant work partner.""I'm retired." I open my driver side door and it slams out of my hand. This fucking guy just torched my last nerve. My eyes flashed red and turned orange, by the time i needed to blink he was lifted in the air by his throat and slammed onto the ground. "You will let us leave or we shred you to the bone ." He...smiled? WHY IS HE SMILING?! "Thatta girl! I heard the stories but it's nothing compared to up close and personal! He's still alive you know! He's coming after you." "That's not possible! We made sure of it!""Anything is possible! There is an entire world full of civilizations that don't believe people like you and me exist! Trust me, he is back and he is making a mess looking for you.""Did he hire you?!" my eyes turned back, sorry Tanga this is serious."If he hired me, why would I want to hire you to help finish what you and your wolf started?""How do I know your not lying?""By letting go of me so I can show you proof.""If you run, I kill you. If you hide, I will find you and I will kill you. Understand?!""Yes, if i do anything you don't want I die, aye aye captain.."I let go of his throat and stand up. He stands, reaches in his pocket and my eyes tear up. I can't believe what I see, it just can't be...
