Chapter 6- Unwanted Bonding

I woke up early again. This was the fifth time in a row. Stupid boy, being stuck in my head all the time. I sighed and got myself out of bed. I poked my head outside, pulling my plushy closer to my chest. The sun wasn't even out yet! It's not too hard to tell when the sun isn't up, because my sister and I can't see anything, since we can only see white, and different shades of grey and black. I sighed as I plopped myself on the bed. Maybe Maya was awake.

"Maya..? Are you awake?" I asked her quietly as I poked her shoulder

".. I am now, dammit" She replied to me, sounding tired.
Oops.

".. hehe.." I replied. I didn't really mean to wake her up..

"Hey.. I was thinking.. Maybe we should.. Bond more" Maya asked cautiously

"Yeah..." I didn't know how to reply to that.

"Well, anyway, lets get dressed" Maya commanded me. I kinda wanted to laugh.

"Kay!" I replied, and got out of my bed

Maya stood up in her night gown. I don't know how she can stand those, their so uncomfortable. A shirt and pants are so much better. I smiled at myself, and went back outside. The sun was coming out now. I started to see the faint outlines of the trees. It was so much better than seeing nothing. I went back inside and finished putting on my long skirt, over my shorter one.

"So, what did you have in mind?" I asked curiously, as I put my plushie on my pillow

"Oh, You know.. this and that" she gave me a twisted smile

"...Remember when you fell over that leaf? That was SO funny!" Maya burst out laughing

"Hey! Your the one who fell in that puddle!! It was SO obvious it was there!!" I giggled back at her

"That was SO not my fault! I was looking else where..." She trailed off on her sentence

"YEAH! You were looking at Nick!" I laughed at her, and her silly crushes

"Hey! You promised not to talk about that!!" She was about to hit my head, when we heard a stick snap out side of our door, and we both froze.

"Maya..?" I whispered silently

"Stay here. I'll go check it out..." she thought to me silently, as she stood up and opened the door cautiously. Always being the big sister.

I stared at Maya. She was frozen on the spot

"Maya?" I thought to her. Why wasn't she moving?

"Maya??" I asked worriedly. Something wasn't right.

I stood up, and made my way through the door. I started in shock. It was the wizard. I could feel my anger bubbling, just like how I felt those four years ago, when he took our mom..

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" my sister and I yelled at him in unison.

Honestly! If I didn't like him then, why would I like him now?

"I--I'm..." He paused

Maya and I glared at him. I shifted into a wolf, and growled at him. I kept staring at the wizard. This man ruined everything, and he wasn't going to ruin my eye sight, or the rest of my small family even more! Maya attacked first, with her ice spear. I wanted to laugh at him. There was no way he was going to survive.

He dodged Maya's spear quickly, but he couldn't dodge me. I jumped at him, adrenaline rushing through my veins but he yelled a spell and a large amount of energy was thrown at me, knocking me a few meters away. I shook my head and headed towards him again, just as Maya was sending another ice spear to him. The wizard avoided the spear again, but this time I bit his arm, good and hard, and he screamed in pain. Maya was silent... He chanted a few words, then suddenly he disappeared; like thin air.

He wasn't supposed to get away! I growled, as I had the adrenaline running through my veins. I tried shifting back, but my body was feeling tense from the memories that flowed freely through my mind.

"Maya! I can't shift back!" I cried to her, in a yelling matter

"You don't need to yell at me, I can hear just fine, thanks. Try going to your favorite spot." She replied. I think the adrenaline was still running through her blood, too.

"I'm going to the water fall, to cool down" Maya called to me, as she was already walking away.

"I'm going to my forest, then" I spoke to her in her head, my voice shaky

I wanted to laugh, since I still couldn't shift back yet. I walked to my circle, and sat in the middle, with my tail wagging, trying to calm down. I started humming to a tune to myself. Okay, so I was a bit loud, but its not like anyone could hear me, anyway. Lin suddenly came to my mind, and I could feel my face heating up, even under this ton of fur. I laughed to myself, well kind of roared, finally being able to calm down. I shifted back to human, still laughing, and my face still slightly red. Something like this was what I needed to get my mind off everything that has happend.

"So, we meet again" a male voice whispered into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. I knew exactly who it was.
