Chapter 62: The Shape Shifter

Start from the beginning
                                    

Jeremy *whispering* Don't go

You smirk

You: Well, well, well. Look whose scared now

Jeremy *whispering* I don't know what the hell is going on and you're just going to leave me with this creature?

You: Like I said.  Be nice to her.  She's really cool

You move your arm away from him then leave

Xata: So... what do you want to talk about?

He jumps while leaning more against the wall

Xata: You look like you've seen a ghost

Jeremy: Well... who are you really? Some hallucination? Is this some mind fuck drug affect?

She turns back into her human form.  She had a hood and mask on

Xata: This is who I am. Now, let's talk

Jeremy: Um...Z told me you helped her get the antidote for Clay. Is that true?

She nods

Jeremy: Do you know how much damage she did at Stonehaven?

Xata: Jeremy I was not around when that happened. I was trying to get back to my landscape and was brought into a vision. Her nightmare. You would be scared to see what I saw. Imagine waking up to be burned alive?

He sees that she's not lying

Xata: Her nightmares. She is hurting. You need to give her space and not to force answers out of her.  She will tell you just ask nicely

He rolls his eyes while folding his arms

Jeremy: Yeah like that ever helps. An Alpha is not known to not get what they want

Xata: She was right. You are a nob head. Not like mine

Jeremy: Wait; what do you mean "not like mine?"

Xata: My Jeremy is a good man.  When we first met, I was a train wreck of shy around him

Jeremy's wolf: Do you hear this shit?

Jeremy: Shh

Xata: I moved to Bear Valley to stop mutt hunting but my work never seems to end. I met Nick first before I met other you... nice guy

He raises an eyebrow

Xata: I was hunting down a mutt that killed a woman. I will be honest I never like to kill but in my nature, I was built for war. I found him back at the crime. There other Jeremy and Clay stopped me from killing the mutt. Well more like knock me out

Jeremy's wolf: Two of us? She's delusional. This is a trick

Jeremy ignores him

Meanwhile...

You were meditating by the waterfall.  Just the sound the water and birds chirping relaxes you.  You take a deep breath

You: Alright that should be good enough of them getting to know each other

You stand then start heading back

Back at the treehouse...

Jeremy: Wow... that's a lot to take in

Xata: Hmm there should be a way to help you.  Oh, I know

She takes out an eye.  Jeremy's gets a shocked look

Jeremy's wolf: What the fuck?

She crushes it

Jeremy's wolf: What the fuck?!

Jeremy: Would you be quiet?

Xata: Hmm?

Jeremy:... Nothing

She continues. It turns into some type of sphere as she whispers into it

Jeremy's wolf: Witch!

Jeremy shakes his head

She looks at the window and sees you petting a deer. She looks back at Jeremy and hands him the sphere

Xata: There you go. You can see from her eyes

Jeremy: Z's?

She nods

Jeremy's wolf: Creepy

Jeremy: Thank you this will be... helpful. If I may ask; why do you want to help me?

Xata: Jeremy she needs love. You need to be calm and try not to let your anger control you

You stop petting the deer then start walking to the treehouse. A butterfly passes by. You get distracted by it. It was blue and vibrant. You stick your finger out, it lands on it

You: Ooo so pretty

Suddenly a bright light shines

You: What the...

Jeremy opens his eyes. He's on the floor back in the cave.  He sits up and looks around. He sees you passed out

Jeremy: I fucking knew it. We were drugged

He gets ready to stand when he feels something in his pocket. He takes it out,  it's the sphere Xata gave him

Jeremy's wolf: Or not
