Looking up at him, I say softly, "Ya can read minds right?
Then read my thoughts, because if I say it out loud..."
In my mind, he'd see it. The rage of a warewof, howling to get out...
Healthy, strong, capable of healing...
Does he get it? Can he understand? But I need his help to keep the
staff and people away from me. To
do this without others finding out, seeing me or CJ.

Standing slowly, I shake my head. "Mr. President... Jordan,
he'll be fine. He gets bit, he gets healthy. The toxins change him,
he becomes like me." I'm taking a bad
risk here... outing what we are to the world.
"He will walk again, heal from his injuries. But if it goes too far...
there's a point even I can't bring him

Do you think Im that bad a parent as to allow my firstborn son to
become a victem of what you are? Allow you to come in and just
change who he is? This is my son. What if someone came around

help them"? What do you THINK I was going to say? *Ive taken a

My hands balled at my sides, I stand there and know i have
to plead my case. Worse comes to worse? I'll go through him. I don't
think I have the strength to restrain
myself anymore...
"He won't be a victim! I'm a part of nature, the same as you or he is,
except we're different. You read
minds, I turn into a wolf, big difference! Who he is won't change,
just... just how he lives. He'll be alive,
Jordan, alive and he will be able to walk and run and free. Do you
want to see him sitting in a wheelchair
all his life when he could be out riding horses next week? When he
could be fine in a few days time?"
After a moment I say softly, "I think you'd be a bad parent if you didn't
consider every option just cuz
you're scared of somethin' you don't understand."

*I hear my name. But then, Ive been hearing it for hours, above
the sound of the machines that help me stay alive, and breath a bit
better. The one that removed tiny bits of bone from my back was
the most irritating. But now, the only thing I was listening to was
the sound of the ocassional spit hiss of the oxygen theve been
feeding me. Remember when I said nothing hurt? That was about
two hours ago. Now? Help me...*
*But this voice and the one following it, trying to stop her, are
voices I know, like Marty's earlier, it captivates my attention, and
I for some reason make a sound. This
time though, its an audible groan, one that perfectly matches how I
feel. I cant feel my legs, and Im clear
as to why. Ill never walk. Never, is the word they used. Ive mangled
my spine. Theyre surprised I can do
anything else.*

because Im so swollen. Gasping for a moment, at the sting in my
eyes. The meds they gave me can only do so much to help. Jordan
is here, inside my head. I can feel him. He's waiting for an answer
too. Saying he'll stand by me, no matter what my answer is.

Squeezing his hand back, I simply look back at jOrdan for a
moment before looking down at CJ and asking, "Think of your answer,
CJ... think carefully so your father
can know it. Don't try to speak just think it... and it will happen."
I have no choice, if we wait too long the damage on his physiology might

A howl breaks the night as inside, I claw for my strength to
hold my sanity in this animal body as it changes. And change I do,
I become... something else. My skin
turns to fur, my hands to paws, my whole physiology changes as I ride
the pain. I still stand upright, but
on legs that invert now and hold me up in some kind of strange new
way. My body is still woman but...
but wolf at the same time. A strange mix no one can understand... unless
they see it. And inside? I hope
CJ can be aware it's still me... I hope it's still me...
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOWWWWWRRRRRR!"
The change is over and only a werewolf stands where I used to be...
and my teeth go right for CJ's
shoulder, the right shoulder to bite down deep.
Then, he'd feel it... as though his being is being swamped with what
I feel. Instinct. Riding the animal
waves of simply being. Feeling. Rhythm of the heart inside you. Prey
and Predator. Freedom. All would
swamp his mind and... the pain would be intense... but mixed with an
odd sort of freedom no one can
truly grasp...
And a feeling of welcoming...

*I feel all she expects me too, except that its highly overshadowed
by fear. Primal fear fed by years of communing with a gentler side
of nature, the fear known only by those who are hunted. My father
had been the predator in our family. I never wanted to harden that
way. He didnt want me to either. As though he couldnt give into
having his son a hunter such as himself. The pain isnt new to me.
Four long months now, every day was nothing but pain, a
sickening in my stomach, an old shadow thats hard to forget, and
remember at the same time. Ive no real comprehension into whats
happening, only that I feel I must be dying finally. Having begun to
cross that threshold, and through our
intimate connection, she may feel my giving in, and relenting to whatever
fate lays. Like the rabbit Jordan
feels, I lay still in wait for the final moment of consciousness. Not
knowing Im in transition to something
else.*

I can feel his fading... and I won't let it happen. My own
body seems to become a part of his in ways that's... that will change
his. The 'magic' in my blood, that
makes me what I am, the power that labels me as a werewolf, spreads
through his body... With it's
strength it rushes to those injuries, to those parts of him that are
injured and starts to heal them at a rapid
pace... but gives him the bliss of unknowing. He'll fall asleep, I
think...
Sleep and awaken whole. And changed... But I hope... I hope he stays
the same as when he was human.
Gentle, a hunter who is gentled... He should be. It's the way I've
known my life... I hope...
At the connection, my life changes greatly in some kind of new way.
In this connection, though my body is
werewolf, I'm me and I can think like myself. Me, and connected to
CJ...
And he may feel my support. Live, CJ, live and be whole again... My
teeth tighten on his shoulder before
loosening softly while the 'magic' still fills him...

*Looking at her, I feel something inside me shrivel at the site of
this huntress. A knot older than man, who knows that shes
unnatural and deadly. A more powerful sensation of awe though at
her. My life in her hands, she can move me in either direction. I
hear her beckon me as though she speaks it aloud. But I have the
choice. I can say goodnight, I really can. The one thing Ive wanted
for months is within my reach, and quickly accessable.*
*On the other hand, is her love and request. The look on Jordan's
face. Marty's voice. Dakota's promise. Those things raise up a more
absolute want for life. To be healthy
again. Have that second chance to live and do what I want with this
life. I feel the window into the new
world she offers, and consider the escape that also comes with it.
Life or death. Life would strip me of
who I was, and rebuild me so I can continue without needing to beg
for help. Cowering in the presence of
those stronger than me, or challenging someone...anyone to take it
from me. Or death, the ultimate
goodbye. Never seeing my father again alive. Maybe Miss Jada would
be waiting for me. Take me to my
mother, and my daughter. Let me hold them all close again, to wait
for our loved ones to join us...*

Life... he's going to live.
My heartrate slows and I lay my head upon his chest, simply resting
beside him as my body starts to
ripple... A roar again breaks from my throat, the howl of a wolf in
victory only being pushed back behind
the wall of the woman she really is, and my body starts to change.
My shirt and pants are torn, the seams
were unable to hold the muscle increases, and I look wasted when my
body returns to normal as I simply
lay against him, resting my head on his chest...
Desperate panting breaths break the silence as I crave oxygen. Alive. Alive.

*I had waited for him, within his own mind. So few people share the
connection I do with him, that even he didnt know I was there. I
waited for his choice, not once trying to sway his decision. He's
been a part of my life since I was old enough to know how to make
a child. Right off the bat, I had the perfect one in my arms. Only
fourteen years of my life did I live without my son. I wasnt ready to
let go after almost fifty years. He's the only true testimonial to the
kind of person I am. Walking back in. I look at him. Already he
looks stronger, but not much different, which was what worried me letting
this happen. Stepping close, I
pass my hand over his face and eyes, reassurance to his sleeping mind
that Im always here, I look down
at her.* Thank you. Youve no idea... *Shaking my head, I cant finish
that without sounding like a
complete imbecile.*
