Running with the wolves

Somethings going on.

"We gotta find out what the hell those things are!" Sam was saying.

It had only been 15 minutes of me telling them to stay in the house, and A.J was standing on the porch. She was stubborn, and a little hard-headed sometimes. She had something behind her back.

"Baby I thought I told you to stay in." I told her.

"Shut- up Jacob!" She said so sharply it caught me off guard. She always looked so serene but in that moment she looked like the definition of chaos. She looked dangerous. Her features were slightly different too.

She walked up too our group, and dropped a huge sword sheath down. We all stared at her. A.J had apparently lost her goddamn mind.

"You got legends, I got legends." she said.

"Talk!" Sam commanded her.

She went on to tell us about the Gemini Demons.

"They're demons. One side of them is near good, but not exactly and the other side is purely evil, and gets to only come out every 2nd full moon of the month, every 12 years. It'll terrorize, drink blood, and kill, all for the pleasure, for 3 days. They are usually born into twins whose family has made some pact with the devil to get wealthy. Abby, And Alex must be twins. There are only four swords in the world that can kill a Gemini demon, this is one." She paused to catch her breath. "They are called the dragon swords. And only four family lines can wield them, and only one person in each family line. In whoever is meant to wield the sword the powers of the dragon are re-born, into human form. My grandpa used to tell me this when I was a little girl. He always called me his little dragon warrior princess. I thought they were just bed time stories."

"And that helped you sleep?" Paul asked, while everyone just stared.

She looked different. She was still the same proportion, but she looked slim. She was more defined and more muscular. She really did look like a warrior princess. She'd changed in probably only 20 minutes. It was really starting to get weird.

"Yeah, I was odd." she said replying to Paul. " but I didn't think it was real, until tonight. When I got home, I still refused to believe it, until I picked up the sword and I started changing. And I even got this." She reached out her hand to show us this tattoo of a dragon snaking up her forearm, on the palm side. "My grandpa also told me that if the good side of the demon was more good than bad, that the one little piece of a human soul that was present, could be saved, and they could live. So, I have to go kill Abby," she gulped then said. "And Alex. hopefully they'll be saved."

"A.J this all too much for you," I told her. "Let us handle it."

"DID YOU NOT HEAR A FUCKING THING I SAID JACOB BLACK, ONLY I CAN HANDLE IT." She screamed at me.

"Whoa, You are super scary now that you got that Dragon mark." Paul remarked. Seth snickered at that and I just stood there. I was angry. I was just trying to protect her.

"Well I'm going."

"No you're not." She told me.

"Yes, I am!" she said again.

"No you're no-"

"Jacob, A.J, enough!" Sam cut her off.

She looked at him all types of crazy, and looked like she was about to explode. I noticed her eyes just then, they were fiery, and wild, like a dragons. She held wisdom in her eyes, beyond even her own knowing. It was as if, by touching that sword in it's time of need, she'd become a dragon. I thought about that.

She'd always been a dragon. She just didn't have a reason to be unleashed.

I looked up and Lilly came running outside. "A.J I just got off the phone with grandpa Abe and he told me to tell you something." She paused. She seemed frightened. "He said let the wolves guide you, now is not the time to be fierce and independent, he knows you're feeling a new part of you for the first time, and you may feel as if you can control the world, and that, that is just the spirit of the dragon and that moving here was destiny from the beginning. Let the wolves guide you, on your destiny, just like your dreams

She gasped. I did too. I remember her telling me about her dream of running with the wolves when she was seven.

I was meant to be her warrior, and she was meant to be mine, and we were both meant to be the world's warrior. Her grandpa was right, it was destiny. It was fate.

"A.J let us help you?"Sam said. Asking.

"How does your grandpa know about us A.J." Jared asked. That was a good question. We all stared waiting for an answer.

"He is wise, he thought that my dreams spoke truth." She said slowly. "It was that ass hole's idea we move here anyway. He knew what he was doing." she said. She sounded angry, and annoyed with her new responsibility. We had been standing here for over 20 minutes. I was ready for action, but hearing A.J curse her Grandpa, in a time like this just made me smile.

I think for the most part she was still pretty wasted. Then on top of that she was probably drunk from the change, of becoming something new. I knew the feeling. Her mood swings were rapid at this moment.

She pulled that sword out of the sheath, and red lightening cracked through the sky. It fell into the sword. And her eye's lit up, blazing. We all jumped back. What the fuck was my baby turning into, He-Man?

Lilly ran into the house, and I hoped she'd lock the door behind her.

"Its time to go Sam!" said changing. We all shifted after him, and followed A.J running into the woods.
