Chapter 22- Rhapsodic  II

POV Rain

I was upset but slowly it all wore off. All the stress, nightmares, heartache and confusion seeped out of my system as Hilla and I ran through the enchanted forest that was just outside of the Faz grounds.

It was exhilarating and utterly mind-blowing. I found a side of me that was sharp, intelligent and absolutely exciting. The ability to morph into another animal and let all their senses and instincts take over and know that you belong to your surrounding is the best feeling ever.

I couldn’t believe it took me this long to understand this aspect of me. I was wolf and loving it.

‘You have been a fool’ Hilla laugh out at me. I also realized that all the times that I’ve been alone and ached for someone’s comfort Hilla was there and she was one feisty sassy wolf.

She was easily excited or angered but most of all she was stronger than anyone I’ve ever known. She was severely protective and proudly held up her snort at my uncle when he said he’d keep us safe.

This morning I got up hurting by Eric’s projections of loathing and disgusting feelings when we spoke but instead of walloping in my depression, Hila got angry at me and demanded I let her take over so she could ran as she was suffocating and my pathetic feelings about Eric were making her sick. She was rude and plain angry.

She was loud and obnoxious and drove me insane as she growled and mentally screamed at me for being pathetic. Talking about having your own personal critic implanted.

As I had this full-blown argument with Hilla my uncle Natura came to wake me up for breakfast. He said he entered the room and apparently my aura burnt him! Could this world get any more complicated, now I have to watch my emotions otherwise those around me will get hurt!

He explained something about Elf emotions being physical energy and we have to be taught to control them at an early age. Poor Rain being a were-wolf also means her emotions are even more stronger and potentially dangerous. Isn’t that wonderful, I am a freak were-elf person that has a rude were-being called Hila that I can't escap and I can seriously hurt people by just being angry.

After this enlightening conversation Natura calmed me and reasoned with Hila. He compromised, she lets me shower and eat breakfast in peace and he will take us to the enchanted forest for her to shift and run.

She eventually agreed and here we are. Running at some spine-bending speed through a magical forest with all these supernatural colours and plants. It was fantastic!

I laughed out loud or rather wolf howled.

After couple of hours Hila and I were both exhausted so we searched for water and found a beautiful spring. I drank and shifted back to human, luckily my uncle suggested I keep my clothes on me as I run.

I sat back watching the serene forest, feeling beautifully content when I realized we left Natura behind hours ago.

 I looked around, how will I get back now?

‘I can get us back, but I’d rather find a way out of this realm’ Hila said.

‘I don’t want to leave yet, I want to find out more about being an elf and we have family here’ I told her, hoping for her understanding since I didn’t want our bonding to be ruined.

‘I know, but let’s remember we don’t belong here’ She said softly.

I agreed, but I still wondered how I will continue to live with humans knowing what I am now?
