"Mate..." - Alex

I ran, as fast as I could. My Vampire powers pulling the shadows to me, my Lion and Wolf gave strength to my body, and my Succubus and Angel gave quiet suggestions of where to head to next.

I felt the agony of reality; I am never going to be whole.

I run and run. Headed no where, I was on a path to leave what I wanted most behind. The trees and towns flashed by in a blur.

I slow down, it's that time of the day, I need to Change or I'll have two pairs of claws tearing at me. My body falls down to grip the flourishing grass, the trees loomed over me, and the forest's lively creatures grew silent, you could hear the whisper of the wind flying by.

My eyes changed icy blue and fiery orange, my Lion and Wolf shining through. My nails grew to claws and my hair grew to a mane of sliver. My paws tinted golden brown, my fluffy golden tail, and my ears spotted gold but mainly silver swiveled on my head.

I listened to the soft pattering of a squirrel, the heart beat of a nearby blue jay, and the soft snarls of another Changing. The soft snarls grew to take up the whole forests. The growls pulled me toward them, the creatures agony pulled me. I knew it was one of my Mates and if I remember correctly she's the one who is mated to one of my other Mates. I pull back and head out of the forest before she notices me sneaking near by.

'Mate...' whined my Lion. I realized the one Changing was Luna, a Tiger who has been searching for me for the past few years. She's one of the three that got have gotten extremely close, that scares me.

Luna quieted and I felt her getting closer to me as I silently reached the forest's line. My paws hit the soft grass and I felt slight panic build in my chest. I tried to stay as quiet as possible, but my body pressed me to turn around towards my Mate.

I ran again, my thick legs pulsing beneath me and my tail swung side to side. I felt the distance between my Mates and I grow.
