19 Chapter Nineteen

I make it past the lines of random defense running up the stairs to the left of me. I run till there's nowhere left to run. A closet with a weird smell emanating from it looks to be my only exit. I hear their voices and freeze quickly dashing into the closet which seems to be bigger than it looks. I tumble down some stairs and land with an oof on cold ground. WAIT? Stairs!? I jolt back to reality and look around. This is the dungeon I visited earlier when I first came to live here. My senses come back to me and I become confused on why I ended up here. I walk back up the stairs that leads out of the closet. I listen closely for any voices of unwanted people and dart out of the closet. I kinda expected hands to grab me but nothing happens. I tread lightly down the hallway waiting for an asuult I don't know why it would come. I make it to the end and pause. I'm confused as heck, yet I still pause. I look around the area and stalk quickly down the stairs. Treading lightly towards Carolina's room I hear hysterical laughter.

"How could she evade us? She is just a wolf and she still duped us." One voice said.

"Haven't I told you guys multiple times that she, um....is smarter than a normal wolf" the second person finishes of a bit weakly. I hear silence than to girls storm out of the room. I jump into the shadows thinking bitterly about whoever said that.

"Can you believe he would say that? Ugh! Almost giving himself and us away, and for what? to make fun of us!?!" The voices fade away as the people do. I make a split second decision and walk steadily into the bedroom. Over the silence it had become awkward, when I walk in it vanishes; Mostly anyway.

"Mocha! you returned" A voice squealed as soon as they saw me. I internally smile and a slight tail wag comes out. I hear a slight scoff, or maybe it was a chuckle. I looked over and saw Titan standing there watching me interact with the little girls.

"Now that was such a naudy move back there Mocha! Mocha? Mocha! are you paying attention to me." Carolina pesters.

"Carolina she's just a wolf they don't really understand human things just like dogs" Titan answers for me. He literally just called me a D.O.G! I can't believe him! Wait.... I totally want to kill and I would if I didn't have a whole wolf pack here to kill me next. Life is so difficult. I take a breath and give a big wolfy smile. Carolina and Maple get ruffled and start talking to him harshly. I smile inside my head and turn to Nightingale.

"Hey night, do you think we should just give up on our plan?" I fully turn to her....she's not there. I then remember that she is locked away inside my mind. I frown and feel like everything got a whole lot harder. I always seek their advice, they are me and I don't think I want to find out what happens when they stay locked away and without contact to me. That thought brings new worries and suddenly I fear I made a horrible choice. Who in their right mind would lock up their wolf or wolves?! Nobody! thats who! I have doomed myself for failor I think groaning. I should probably just go to bed. I pad over to the big lushious bed and jump on using my back hindquarters to push off the floor and my front paws to carry me onto it. I fall asleep second guessing my decisions.

-------------------------------------Some time later-----------------------------------------Nightmares plague my sleep and I wake up shivering around 3 am. I had jumped up the bad something almost getting me when the jump dragged me out of sleep. I looked around and noticed i was on the floor.

"that would explain the nightmare about me falling" I say wryly to myself. I shook out my pelt and went to the window.

"How on earth am I supposed to get over the stupid obstacle . I have recruited the girls on figuring out what was going on between Titan, Karma, and Tsunami. Not once did I think to reveal myself to them. I have gotten myself in a buckload of trouble." I decide to go for a midnight stole and maybe try to get control of my powers for shifting form human into wolf. The species of wolf changers need that second side (their wolf) to be able to control their shift and I had two. I think that means I needed more help with controlling my shift. Well here comes the groan of the hour. If your a shifter one you complete your first shift they put you in the shifter classes. This way the wolf changers can get the info they need without it getting to non shifters. Years and years back way before I was born, werewolves who couldn't shift and werewolves who could all learned the same info about shifting. That turned out to be a horrible mistake because a non shifter werewolf became jealous and captured the changers and learned to separate the wolf and the human mind, this caused those changers to go crazy. He would put them into "dog fights". It was a wretched time for changers and they were all kid (those who had anything to do with it.) That was when the decided to change the curriculums, all kids before they can shift and after shifting times have learned about the history. They don't say why it o prevent happened not really anyway, this is it from happening again. I lay my snout along the windowsill and enjoy the beauty of the moon and the forests. Living here all my life I still forget how beautiful it is and then take it for granted.
