The Wolf's Strange Song

Startled

An enchanted forest looms over Pearl as she walks along the dirt path. She doesn't know how she got here or where she is going, but she does know that she is heading the right way. A gut feeling, she supposed. Little rabbits duck out of the way and little forest sprites dance around her as she creeps along the path further. Bubbles float around in the breeze, adding a rainbow twinkle to the forest. Everything is so beautiful and magical. Ahead, a light shines brightly, signaling the end of the path.

Shielding her eyes, she steps out from the trees and into a large meadow. The grass is a beautiful blue-green and the flowers are in every shade of the rainbow. A skipping stone pathway leads from the edge of the path out to a small pond in the middle of the meadow. Skipping along the stone, Pearl giggles happily. Small firefly-type bugs fly around with the sprites and bubbles. Making it to the pond's edge, Pearl sits down and dips her feet in the water. The water feels so good and like she is connected to something bigger.

A rustling sound came from the trees ahead of her, distracting her from looking at her reflection in the water. A tall white wolf with blue streaks throughout its fur walks over to her. A quick sniff in the air by her and the wolf is lying against her side. Instantly, Pearl knows this is her wolf, Kalla.

"Kalla! It's you! How are you here? OH, and erm, where is here?" Pearl excitedly shoots the questions at her companion.

With a giggle, Kalla responds, "Well, this is our inner world. It is where I stay while you stay out in the real world. Isn't it magical? I have noticed 3 energies here besides us. One lurks in the water, one lurks in the shadow of the trees and one stays far away. The one that is far away is very elusive, but the other 2 I have gotten near them a bit. They seem to be more pieces of the puzzle that makes up us."

Just then, a spot on the surface of the water has bubbles popping on it. Slowly, the amount of bubbles grows until a pale white-haired woman pokes her head out of the water. Not just any woman, but one that looks like Pearl. Her chest is bare as she rises more out of the water, and scales appear over them to hide her goods, seeing how her on-lookers were staring in surprise. A beautiful blue-green scaled tail flits out over the water behind her.

"Whoa . . " is all Pearl could say. Kalla is too shocked to even mind-speak.

"Hello! I am Olette, and I am your Siren side." The beautiful siren introduced herself.

Before I can even respond, a rustling from a bush nearby grabs all of our attention. A tall beautiful woman who, yet again, looks like me steps from behind the bush. She has the signature white hair, big pale blue eyes, pouty lips and face with small features. Peaking through her hair are a set of small pointed ears. She has a long light turquoise blue peasant-styled dress under a long flowing cool green tunic/top dress piece. Small blue flowers are tucked into a braid on the side of the right ear. She is taller than Pearl though, at 5 feet 7 inches. She is wearing the signature pale blues and blue greens that sem to be our color palette.

"Since we are making introductions, I am Shae. Your Fae side. It is finally nice to meet all of you ladies." The Fae side says as she walked over to us.

Olette is now perched on a rock next to the edge of the water that wasn't there before. Kalla is still nestled next to Pearl, peering up at the new arrival that sits with her legs sticking to one side in front of them. A rustling in the trees deep in the forest distracts them. A distant noise is heard, then it's silent.

"That is the other energy we all feel here. We haven't figured it out yet though. Anyway, girl, you have a lot of power in you. We don't know from where though. What are your parents?" Shae asks nonchalantly.

"Oh, ummm . . . I don't really know anything about my parents. I was found in my pack and taken care of by my previous Luna." Pearl said, looking down and gloomy. Looking sideways at her furry friend, Pearl asks, "Kalla, can you share our memories with them?"

"Yes, I can. Only because they are apart of us." Kalla answers through her mind. She shows both Shae and Olette all Pearls' memories. The good and bad. Both supernatural sides of Pearl tear up at stare at Pearl. Nothing is said as the 2 beings process everything.

Suddenly, Pearl feels a tug backwards, and looks around for the source. "It's time for you to wake up Pearl. We will be here, in your mind, watching and helping you. Remember you are not a lone, little one. We will all be here to speak to you whenever. Just talk to yourself in your head and we will hear." Kalla says so we can all hear. The other 2 just nodded.

A huge tug pulls her back into darkness before she can say anything. She stills and just asses her surroundings in the black abyss. After taking a breath, she realized she was asleep. The moment before she passed out she remembered things she really wished she hadn't. She also remembers the most handsome man right before her eyes shut. Finally calming down, for a second she can tell she is lying in a bed and her eyes are just closed. A warm heavy source is lying in bed with her. Fear rakes through her thinking it is Jason in bed with her. Goddess knows what he did while she was passed out.

Deciding she can't lay there forever, unless she wants to get scolded for being even more late, she slowly opens her eyes. After a second of her vision adjusting, she was met with that extremely handsome man's face in front of hers. Dark semi-short hair sits on the head of a handsome, lightly tanned man. He has a defined jaw that isn't too chiseled, which she preferred. His closed almond eyes are adorned with thick lashes that would make any woman jealous. Scanning down to his lips, she noticed how soft and plump they were. Temptations tell her to nibble on them until the sun goes down. Cirtus, herbs and pure masculinity invade her nose. Instantly calming me.

Pearl's POV

"MATE!" Kalla, Olette and Shae screamed with excitement in my head. Another energy pulses from deep with in, sending more excitement through my body.

In the next second a pair of deep blue eyes are staring back into my wide shocked pale blue eyes. Panic courses through my body and before I register what I am doing, I squeak loudly and run to the nearest door. Flinging myself inside, I slammed the door behind me and turned around. A freaking closet. I ran into a closet. Oh well, my first instinct is to hide. I run through the massive closet and find a little cubby that is empty in the far corner. I take an empty cloth hamper and use it to hide myself.

Shit! This is a horrible first impression. My inner posse is rolling their eyes and laughing at my misfortune right now. I couldn't help it though. After last night, I am guessing, I am a bit skiddish. Honestly, I am always kind of timid. Sometimes worse than others. Now I don't know if I should slowly walk back out and die of embarrassment, or stay here until I die. I have to pee, so leaving sounds good. Hearing footsteps approach has me staying in place. The door to the closet opens, and I hear a few steps come into the closet.

A deep chuckle rings out through the small space followed by the sexiest voice that has ever graced my ears, "You know I can see you, right?" a soft chuckle follows after. I turned every shade of red under the sun after that remark.

"I will be happy to explain everything that happened since last night once you are ready. For now, if you want, I have the room across the hall from this one set up for you. There are new clothes there for you. I guessed the sizes until we could properly take you shopping. You can stay there for now. So , go shower and get dressed. It is about to be lunchtime, so I will have them send up some food for you soon." says the male model that has graced my presence. He waited for a second for me to say something. I want to, but my voice is caught in my throat. Soon a chuckle and sigh leave his lips as he walks out of the closet, leaving the door ajar.

Getting my courage up after a few minutes, I sneaked out of the closet. I honestly haven't paid attention to what the room looks like bc I ran, and I don't stay long enough to do so now. I see a door that leads to a hallway, and made a run for it. Once I peek into the hallway and see the other door to my new room, I look for anyone and dart across the hall. I gently closed the door this time. Turning around, I slid down the door and let out a big breath I didn't know I was holding. Eyes closed, I focus on my breathing and come to grip with 2 things. One, that man is sexiness himself, and two, I am in a new pack. A new place where I can start over fresh, hopefully with that hunk of a man. And . . . it scares the HADES out of me.
