Regrets
I followed him, a little away from the base, until we stopped at the same river where I seen my true reflection for the first time. I couldn't help but stare mostly at Scott's reflection, though. He was beautiful.
His silver eyes seemed to sparkle even more, from the moonlights reflection within the river, that broke through the trees from above.
His black coat shinning, making me want to touch it, to feel how soft it really was. Then I started to wonder how his human self-looked; how the other girls looked too. This thought making my wonder increase.
I slightly jumped, startled by his chuckle.
*Heh, it's okay. I think I look pretty cool too. And from what I can feel, it feels pretty silky.*
His voice holding a hint of a smile.
I suppressed a sigh, realizing that he was listening to what was supposed to be my own secret thoughts.
If I weren't a tiger, I know for sure that my face would be a little red about now. I was too embarrassed, I didn't know what to say, so I said the only thing that popped into my head.
*.....Cool...*
He chuckled again and agreed.
I subconsciously frowned when something that Scott said earlier when I met him, came back to me.
*...Um, hey...what did you mean when you told me that you were trying to...*
*Bring you out?*
He finished my sentence, hearing his previous sentence from my memory.
*Yeah...I didn't understand it.*
*...Well, since we're kin, we're connected in a way...so you probably heard me calling you yesterday night.*
*...Yesterday night...?*
I tried thinking, retracing my night subconsciously.
I gasped in realization*Oh yeaah!...That ringing sound??*
*Yup.*
*That was you??*
*Yeah. I was trying to get your attention, but-*
*But I ignored it.*
*Yeah...so I tried a different tactic.*
I couldn't help but feel pretty stupid now. Scott filled the silence when he realized that I was waiting for him.
*I entered your room that night...*
I made a light surprising sound. I couldn't help but chuckle nervously.
*You did??*
I tried to remember but failed.
*Hah, yeah. It seemed like you were having a tough time leaving your body, so I thought I'd assist you...and right when I had a hold of you, your sister came to the room. I let you go, since there was obviously no time, and I left.*
His description really helped.
*Oh my god...that was you??*
*Haha, yeah, it was. I'm sorry if I scared you, I was trying to be real careful not to wake you.*
I smiled subconsciously, I couldn't help it, he was pretty sweet.
*Awwh, don't worry, I was fine.*
Then his tone grew serious when he changed the subject.
*That's good....everything that Avery said was true. And I know you didn't really understand what she meant, but she was just giving you an early warning; before you do anything you'll regret...*
Regrets...I never enjoyed my collection of regrets....so was he trying to say that I'd regret joining their team?
*No, that's not what I mean....though you might regret being who you are...*
He answered my thoughts.
*What do you mean?*
*Instead of being proud of what you really are, you might be ashamed of it, or afraid of what you've become; I'm sure we all have, but trust me, you might even regret feeling that way....because if you don't accept who you are for too long, who you truly are; then you might not be able to be a tiger so easily after that...*
For some reason, that revealed me; but it also scared me from within.
*This is all your choice, and you don't even have to be a werecat if you try hard enough to deny it.....but Avery's right; we'd all enjoy having you join.....look; I personally know how it was like...being alone, having no one around, no friends like you, no one around to help you understand what you've become...I thought I needed therapy....trust me, I thought I was crazy; just like what you thought, but worse...but you’re lucky enough to have the opposite; and I'm here to be your guidance, were all here to lend a hand...hah, but in this case, a paw.*
He chuckled at his own joke, which made me join in.
His light tone seemed to relax me, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. My pity was absolute, while I watched the scenes of his panther self, running, running, and running. Then my pity decreased when the scene changed. Little by little, the rest of the team began to appear, and Scott (just like he said) being their guidance.
I couldn't help but feel sad, while watching from Scott's past, when the other girls were able to join so easily, without much hesitation. Most of them seemed excited to join his team...expect me; which probably made me seem like a total pain.
*Malean, you’re not a pain. You're just afraid, this is all new to you, don't blame yourself. If you think about it, we feel more for you, since you weren't born like this; it was more like-*
*A curse?*
I couldn't help to compare.
*No, of course not...though I understand how this all seems like a curse. But what I meant was that you didn't have a choice when you became a werecat...*
I began to remember how I was scratched. Everything from that day, even how the wolf seemed to have...saved me?
*...Do you know him?*
Scott asked, watching the scene play in his head, till he spoke, which made the scene end.
*...I-I don't know...I wouldn't even know who i-*
I stayed silent for a while, when realization hit me.
*So you do know him?*
*.....I'm not sure...but I did meet a couple of people here...when I moved, but it was before this all happened.*
I said quickly to reassure him.
*Don't worry, I understand now...he was trying to protect you...*
*...You know him?*
*Well...not friendly wise, but yes, I do know him....he's the pack leader of the werewolves...*
*....Really??....So do you know his, like-*
*His human self?*
*Yeah.*
*Yeah, I do.....it's-*
I sat up, breathing in a long gasp. I tried to control my breathing, when I realized that I was back in my room, sitting in my bed, my sister sleeping, soundlessly a little away from my bed. I looked around my dark room, wondering what the heck woke me up, but finding nothing.
The moonlight from the window, that sat above me made me feel a little better that it wasn't completely dark in here.
I laid back down, trying to relax to fall asleep again, but I slightly twitched when I heard my cats growl.
“Diana?”
I whispered, looking around trying to find her. I spotted her gray fur, standing up, backing away, and walking forward, as if she was unsure, but curious at the same time, to whatever she was watching.
“Anna? Shh.”
But she didn't listen to me. I sighed, clearly annoyed, assuming she was fighting with Spunky again, but not completely buying it, since she only ever acted this way towards strangers...
And right when I was ready to get out of my bed to make her shut up, all the hairs on my body rose, from the shadowy figure that quickly passed over the wall that the moonlight hit, which made me stink deeper into my bed, and stop breathing.
My eyes were wide, my body frozen. I continued to watch the wall, feeling that I was about to see another figure, but didn't. And when I was brave enough to leave my bed, I tossed off my blankets and sheets, slid off my bed, and quickly ran over to the wall with the light switch, and flipped it on...I needed more light.
I gulped nervously, making my way towards the window, hoping that no one was able to jump through it.
I poked my head through, looking around. It was silent, the neighborhood completely asleep. I closed the window tight shut, locking it. I continued to watch my front yard, wondering if someone would pop out from behind one of our trees or something. I seen nothing, no one there; but the feeling of being watched didn't quite fade.
His silver eyes seemed to sparkle even more, from the moonlights reflection within the river, that broke through the trees from above.
His black coat shinning, making me want to touch it, to feel how soft it really was. Then I started to wonder how his human self-looked; how the other girls looked too. This thought making my wonder increase.
