"Alvar are there any ponds or lakes nearby? Or any water source for that matter?" I ask Alvar tiredly. I haven't drank any water in two days. I also haven't eaten in about a week, but I'm more worried about the dehydration. Sometimes I wonder how any rogue survives. I mean I can always hunt, but it's too much work when you're running away from griffins, and rogues. There are of course more black magic creatures, but they haven't been bothering me. I ran into a wild grape, a giraffe-ape (lol XD). They aren't that fierce, but they will still fight you. Anyway, they didn't bother me, though. Don't ask me how I know this. It kind of just.....came.

"No, Emily. I don't see any-Wait!! There is a small stream around a half mile away from where you are." Alvar yells from the air. I nod and she comes back down slowly.

"Thank you, Alvar. Can you tell me which direction?" I ask her.

"North." I turn slightly to my left and start walking that way.

"Thank you."

"No problem. Now, may I ask why you just don't forgive your mate?" I sigh deeply. They just don't get it do they?

"I can't trust someone that made my life miserable since I was a child. He ruined my childhood, and then he ruined the future ahead of me by rejecting me. For no exact reason. I don't care if people made him do it because I was dangerous, or because I could've died in the future. Or even because HE was the one that could have died. I could have died happy, and he could've just given me a chance.......I forgive him....But that doesn't mean I trust him." I spoke with an emotionless expression.

"I get it....Thank you for answering me. I know you could've just ignored me." I nod.

I take a deep breath of fresh air. I love the scent of water. Am I the only one who likes how water smells? If I am.....It's not weird....

I kneel down towards the water and shift-it makes it easier to drink water from natural places-. I take big gulps of water, and quickly shift back. Wait!! I just shifted!! How did my wolf look like?! Why did she decide to let me shift now out of all the other times I've tried.

I try to shift again, but fail. Why doesn't it work anymore?!!! Common! She can at least let me see her.

But what would be the fun in that? The same voice that said she was my wolf said teasingly.

You're back!!! I say, my voice for excitement.

I never left. She states.

Oh....ok....I'm confused....What do you mean?

I just blocked you. She says like it was nothing.

That's mean! I say before blocking her.

"You ok, Emily?" Alvar asks.

"Yeah I'm fine...But I might have to run while in wolf form....I'm naked..." I say awkwardly.

"Yeah, go ahead. We can mind-link, anyway." I nod before trying to shift again. It didn't work. I try a second time, it didn't work. Third time's the charm, right? Right! I finally shift into my beautiful wolf. I know, I know. I haven't seen her, how can I know she's beautiful? Well, every wolf is beautiful in there own unique way.

Oh! My! Potato! (I have this weird thing with potatoes...Don't judge.)

She's beautiful! She's completely white as before, but she has a red tail dip, and her paws are red as well.

You're beautiful!! I tell her.

Why thank you, but that's not all. I can just see her smirking.

Just then a high screech, and squishy sound comes from behind me. I turn around to face-what is that thing?! The thing has green scales all around, except for its tentacles they're a purple-ish color. It looks like a half snake half octopus, except it has arms on its upper body. Its left arm has a huge, red glove with flames spitting out of it. It has a pony-tail, but its made out of scales, instead of hair. It's also wearing a purple polo shirt.

It screeched loudly again and started moving towards me. It tried to shoot fire at me, but I ducked just in time.

"Aqua surculum!" I yelled while pointing at it. It flew backwards and hit a tree. A couple seconds later it blew up in ashes.

"What just happened?!" I yelled at no one in particular. Wait!! I'm still in wolf form!! I can talk?! This is amazing!!!

"Emily!! Your paws, and your tail!! They're a golden color!!" Alvar yells.

I quickly run towards the stream again. It's kind of deep for a stream....anyway!! She's right!! They changed colors!! I'm like a living rainbow!!
