Chapter 8 Tsuki

It hurt. Oh god, it hurt. I couldn't get the image of Neo's pained expression out of my head. I'd lashed out, and I had hurt him, and my heart was screaming.

I always had trouble driving in the rain, because there was a part of me which froze when clouds covered the sky and masked the moon, and it slowed my reflexes. It was harder when there were tears clouding my vision. My breath was hitching in my throat, little wheezing whines betraying my pain more than the tears which I hadn't yet allowed to spill to join the rain's moisture on my face.

Thunder cracked, and the wolf inside me quivered with fear; it had me jumping in my seat, my hands jerking with the shock of the sudden loud threat. Which was not a good thing considering I was trying to drive like an idiot. If it had been a sunny day, I would have been able to save it. As it was, the rain made the road slick enough that the slight sideways motion turned into a nasty fishtailing skid onto the wrong side of the road.
