With that said, Let's Get On With Chapter 12 of A Not So Average Highschool Life.

I jerked awake after hearing that dark voice laughing as my dreams turned from dreams of running to a dream of being held captive by something I couldn't see, which wanted to destroy everything. I shivered and said softly " I guess that dark voice is more than just a voice, so how the hell did the fucker get into my head? Wait an even better question is what the hell is the stupid thing doing to my dreams." I got up and walked over to my closet then pulled on a shirt, jeans, and my equipment. I walked outside and got onto my bike then made sure my quiver and bow were ok. With that done I started my bike and headed for a place across the state's border that a friend of mine told me I could use if I ever needed to get away and think. I glanced back to see that a Shandi was following me. I sighed softly and thought "So the gods seem to believe I'm important. Wait since when have I started to think of it as gods and not just a single god?" _ I blinked as the dark voice responded "_I thought you were smarter than that boy. There are multiple gods, as your friend showed you, and your dreams showed. However just because the gods exist it doesn't mean they will protect you from beings like myself who are stronger than them." I shook my head slowly then glanced at the road and swerved back into the proper lane.

I shivered as a guy drove through where my bike had just been. I focused on the road and ignored the voice despite how persistent it was. I finally pulled over at a rest area and stopped my bike then walked over to a bench and sat down. I closed my eyes as the voice continued "So you're not afraid of me. I thought you'd be terrified, after all making you try and kill everyone you cared about was fun when you were younger, but now it wouldn't be that interesting. Although since your stronger now, I may just take you over permanently. Would you like to be locked way seeing through your own eyes, but never able to do anything for the rest of eternity?" I growled softly and said "I know you can't control me, not without me passing out. I can sense it. So you're basically all talk and no action." I blinked when my feral side spoke for the first time by saying "It appears that you two are forgetting about me. I'm surprised, after all we constantly fight. Although the fact you two won't shut up and let me sleep is making me ready to rip out your throats." I sighed and thought "_It appears that my counterparts are idiots who want to kill. What the hell does that make me and the dead old guy?" _

I blinked when Shandi walked up and shook my head as the two of them started making comments again. I looked at her and said "You know, I'd have sworn I didn't ask anyone to come with me." She just shrugged and sat down. I sighed and shook my head again as my feral side said "It appears that her scent is distracting you. You do realize she smells like the man in the dream of a sword fight, only more feminine?" I blinked and sniffed the air then silently thanked my Feral side for pointing out that fact. I looked at Shandi and said softly "Do you happen to have any relatives?" She stared at me surprised and I said softly " I'm guessing you're a twin, and that your brother is the darker of the two of you. It's probably why he smells like you, and why I kept seeing you when we fought in my dreams, almost as if you were the cause." She stared at me then I turned my back and headed toward my bike as the dark voice said softly "You want to kill her btother, but I think he and I would get along." I growled softly and slammed my fist into a tree mentally yelling shut up. It laughed again and I ran to my bike then hopped on and gunned the ignition.

The voice just kept laughing until I was on the highway and focusing on the road to the exclusion of everything else. All of a sudden something flashed infront of me causing my bike to go out of control. It spun out and I went flying over the handle bars as it skidded off the road down the side of the mountain. I slowly got up and saw a figure standing there with a smirk on their face. I slowly drew my sword and started running at him feeling the blade's hilt burning in my hands. His smirk seemed to turn into a slight smile as he watched me then pulled out a blade that seemed to be made of pure obsidian. I growlled softly and winced as our blade's clashed and seemed to scream in pain. I blinked as lightning flashed and I saw something hiding in the hood. We jumped back and our blades pulled back then they clashed again. I felt my hands starting to burn from the heat held in my blade's hilt. After a few minutes the two of us rushed forward and our blade's clashed again.

He laughed and said "It appears that he was right. You are stronger than the boy who came by earlier. Although, the girl who's following you is dangerous. Are you willing to abandon her and learn from the true master's or will you give in to her precious gods?" I growled softly and locked blades with him as my eyes flashed to the deep green of my Feral side. He laughed again then the two of us started locking blades in different positions as I tried to get through his guard. After a few minutes the old man's voice said "Calm down kid. If you don't he'll have you where he wants you and can either kill you or force you to agree to his terms. Do you want the girl to be found by the one's she's hiding from? If not then you'll have to accept who you are and use it!!!!!!" I growled softly and shook my head trying to deny what he was saying, but after a few more clashes with my opponent I gave in. I slowly followed his blade as information I'd never before known flowed into me. After another ten minutes I saw my chance and twisted my blade around his as they locked then placed it to his throat. He stared at me and said "It appears that you've beaten me. Which means I have to allow you to go, and I have to give you a special tool that will help you in the future." I stared at him and he grabbed my quiver then slowlys tarted changing

I stared at him and he handed it to me with new symbols glowing up and down the length of it. I shivered slightly and said "So you know how to use magic." He nodded and started to fade away. I blinked and the old man's voice said "It appears you've impressed your enemies kid. That's both good and bad. Good because it means they may want to take you on their side. Bad because if they can't turn you they'll kill you." I blinked and muttered "That's wonderful to know, so the group that Shandi's brother is a part of is going to try and change or kill me." The old man's voice started laughing and I had to resist the urge to slap myself because I knew it wouldn't help. As I stood there I felt a burning in my hand and instinctively released my sword. It clattered to the ground and I noticed there were chips in the blade, and that the hilt was smoking as if it had been lit on fire. I slowly picked it up and shoved it into its scabbard and started along the road toward the cabin.

After about ten minutes Shandi drove up next to me then glanced at me and said "If you tell me where you're going I'll take you there, but that means I get to stay." I thought about it for a while then nodded and got in the car slowly. I pulled my scabbard and quiver off my back then set them in my lap.I slowly studied the quiver and mentally argued with my feral side about the meaning of the symbols. Without really paying attention I told Shandi how to get to the cabin and heard that dark voice laughing again. I shook my head when we finally agreed that it changed my arrows then pulled one out of the quiver and studied it. The arrow looked like how I'd made it, however there were a few differences. I tried to break the shaft of the arrow, but I couldn't so I kept studying it. I noticed that it had a small flame inscribed on it and muttered "So my arrows were enchanted when my quiver became enchanted."

Shandi looked at me questioningly and I just grinned slightly then put my quiver down between my legs.She glanced at a road sign and said "Five miles until the turn off. Anything you want to say before we get to this cabin?" I shook my head and rubbed the back of my neck thinking. After about ten minutes she turned in to my friend's drive and the two of us got out of the car. I walked up to the door and pulled it open. Shandi slowly walked in with a soft "Thank you." Then I walked in and shut it behind me. I tossed my gear on the couch and she looked at me questioningly." I pointed to the stairs then held up one finger and headed to the kitchen. She blinked and said "What is with you and the sign language?" I shrugged and grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge then tossed one to her.

I slowly drank my water then said "You get the room upstairs, I'll sleep on the couch." She looked at me and I said "I originally came out here to be alone, but since you're stayin I'll just sleep on the couch. I don't know how long we'll be here, but my friend has the local shop keeper stock this place up every two weeks. So food, water, and anything else we might need are probably taken care of." I thought about it and said "Yeah I'm sure of it, because this place has indoor plumbing even." After a few seconds I headed back to the living room and plopped down on the couch preparing to take at the least a quick nap. As I started to drift off I saw Shandi head upstairs and thought "I hope she's ok. I mean if something happens to her then we're both in deep shit." I slipped into a light sleep where I dreamed I was walking through a forest with people I'd never seen before, yet had a feeling I should know. As we walked and talked I took it to easily that most of them said things that made no sense in the world I was born in.

I jerked awake as an arrow whizzed past my head in the dream and I blinked when I saw a lock of my hair fall to the floor. I shivered and mummbled "It appears even my dreams aren't safe anymore." I picked up the lock of hair and shoved it in my shirt then walked into the kitchen and looked at myself in a bowl of water. I puled out my knife and slowly fixed my hair so that it was equal on both sides then shoved it back up my sleeve like it was nothing. I walked over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of coke then sat down at the table and started to drink it while staring at my reflection again. After a few minutes I slapped the water growling softly then poured it out in the sink and cleaned out the bowl. After a few minutes I walked outside and started on a hike through the woods since the voices were silent for once.

I ran on an old trail my friend and I had made a few years ago when I was travelling and followed it to a cave the two of us always stayed in. There were all sorts of legends surrounding the cave but the two of us had never really believed them because they seemed so out of it. I sat down at the back of the cave and stared at the cieling thinking "It appears that those stories could have been real. After all people dissapear without a trace all the time. Everyone assumes they were kidnapped or something, but maybe it's stranger than that." I shook my head trying to banish such dark thoughts then laid down and looked at the drawings we'd made all over one of the walls. I grinned as I heard my friend's voice saying "Hey you know about that old legend, well I bet it's a big load of crap meant to scare little kids into staying out of the woods." as the two of us laid here hiding from her parents. I laughed softly and said "Well I bet you were wrong, after all one of our friends vanished, even if he did reappear three days later with short term memory loss."

I heard her laughing again and thought "To bad you stopped wanting to stay a kid the moment you got your first boyfriend. I guess that was one of the reasons I headed back to New York, although the main reason is still a secret, even from you." The dark voice laughed slightly then shut up and I smiled to myself as I saw a door carved into the wall not far from where we used to play. I blinked and said "That was definently not there when I was younger. I swear we'd have messed with it, if it was." I slowly walked over to the door as I heard voices coming from the otherside. I pushed it open and saw two kids sitting there messing around. I grinned and they looked at me with nothing, but curiosity in their eyes.I sighed thinking "Kids just don't seem to understand how dangerous people can be. I guess it's a good thing I've never wanted to harm children, or else my face and my scent woudl cause it to be way to easy."

I noticed that they were a boy and a girl who were from different breeds. The girl was an anthro and the boy was a wolf hybrid. He looked at me and said "Crud man, what the heck are you doing at our hideout and where the heck did you get all of those weapons from?"I shrugged and the girl studied me then whispered something to the boy. He looked at her questioningly and she nodded. He sighed and said "My friend wants to know why you're smell is making her feel dizzy. I personally can't smell anything." I shrugged and leaned against the wall hiding the door with my back. He studied me and said "So what's going on, and again what the heck are you doing at our hideout?" I grinned keeping my mouth shut and the kid started to get annoyed. His eyes flashed a different color then his friend tapped him on the shoulder and he calmed down. I smiled at her in thanks then looked at him and he said "So what exactly brought you here?"

I grinned and said "I came here purely by accident buddy boy. You're girl friend there catches my scent because it's something my body makes to attract the opposite gender." He glared at me theng lanced at his friend who seemed to be unable to take her eyes off me. I snapped a few times and she shook her head then I said "So I'm guessing you two are hiding from her parents." She nodded and I asked "Where are we exactly?" They shrugged and I sighed then heard Shandi calling for me. I smiled at them and said "I guess I have to go, a friend of mine is looking for me. If you two want I'll see you again." They nodded and I slipped through the door shutting it behind me. I walked outside and Shandi tackled me. I looked at her and said "Well Milady, I didn't expect such an uncouth attack from someone who's normally very controlled." She stared at me and I said "Before you ask, I know you've got royal blood from smell, and because of how you act. You don't let it run you, but it shows to a small point. No one else would realize it without you telling them."

She studied me then asked "Who are you really? I know you say you're just an average guy, but you know more than most. You said you knew about my brother, you seem to know about my past, you knew about my involvement with lord Dracul. You even asked me to talk to the gods, and you came back from the dead. All of that together makes me believe there's more to you than you let on." I blinked and thought about telling her about my "friend" on the road then shook my head. I smiled trying to put her mind at ease then leaned back and waited. She continued "Your quiver is coated in symbols of power, your arrows are enchanted, and your sword has a dark aura as if something stained it." I glanced at my blade and saw what she was talking about then shivered to think of what that blade could have done to me.She studied me carefully and I kept a completely straight face. She sighed and said "Besides all that you seem able to make any guy or girl who talks to you want to be your friend."

I grinned and said "I just have that ability. It could be because of my scent but, it tends to be because of my personality that people stick around. I don't make them stick around, heck if you want to leave go ahead. I myself would be sorry to see you gone, but I don't hold people against there will." I started walking back toward the cabin letting my mind wander over everything. About half way there I saw something that made no sense. A creature was running through the woods with nothing surrounding them, but a whirlwind of energy.I shook my head not believing my eyes until I saw more of them, then my instincts made me follow them. It wasn't to hard seeing as their energy glowed brighter than the moon. Finally they stopped at a lake and I growled softly watcihng them dancing around and over it. I studied them and heard somone moving nearby then pulled my sword out and put it to their throat. I followed the length of my blade and saw it was Shandi. I sheathed my sword and said softly "Sorry Shandi, I just didn't feel like being attacked while I was distracted. I believe those are nymphs dancing around out there."

She studied me and said "How'd you know?" I pointed at their feminine figures then at the different types of energy surrounding them. She blinked and said "You can see the energy?" I nodded and she continued " That's strange, only people who have their own latent magical ability should be able to see their energy, is that what led you here?" I nodded again and she sighed then said "When their ritual is over, we'll go back to the cabin and I'll show you some of my own magic." I raised an eyebrow and she said "No I'm serious, I'll show you some of my own magic, and I'll see if you have any."

I blinked and felt within myself while we stood there. After a few minutes I felt a small ball of energy almost as if it was asleep and waiting for me to being it to life. I growled as the old man said "So you've finally found our latent powers. You know some of your friends have sensed it without realizing that's what their doing? Including your lab partner, your sister, your friends Reina and Sam, but most importantly the palladin standing next to you. Although your girlfriend Dasher seems to sense something, I think her own abilities are hidden." I laughed softly and thought back "It appears that you know a lot more than you let on. Why didn't you tell me any of this you stupid son of a bitch." He seemed to laugh and I sighed then thought "Shit, I can't call you a son of a bitch because my mother's not a canine. She's a human, although we are the son of an alpha." He seemed to laugh at my joke and we went back to watching the nymphs do their dances.

I blinked when a few of them stopped and seemed to be watching us. After a few minutes they went back to what they were doing, but I felt as if all of them were watching us now. I glanced at Shandi and said softly "I believe either they find us as oddities or they caught my sent, in which case they'll mob us when they're done, so why don't we get out of here." She nodded and the two of us started back to the cabin, after I left my number on a tree of course.As we walked I started trying to tap into the power of the orb. I knew it was extremely strong because it took every bit of my willpower to get close to it even if it didn't really exist as a physical thing. I thought about that then mummbled "That's wrong. It is a physical thing, just not of this world. It's metaphysical or between worlds, the third of the four worlds. Well four primary worlds that exist on all planes." Shandi looked at me questioningly and I said "Sorry thinking aloud."

After about twenty minutes of walking we got back to the cabin. I looked up and saw that it was a full moon, so I gave into desire and let loos a long drawn out howl. Shandi looked at me and said "When you talk about being feral, you aren't kidding, are you?" I shook my head and she said "Well with that out of the way, let's go inside and I'll show you some of my magic." I nodded and held the door open for her, then walked in and locked it behind us. She looked at me and I slowly sat down on the couch. I watched her as she sat down a few feet from me and slowly started chanting. I studied her and noticed that the glow around her was getting stonger. I stared as a blue glow started to surround her hands. I sensed exactly what it was and my brain started copying the energy she used to make it and storing that knowledge away. After a few seconds her incantation and the energy changed into a ball of pure elemental fire. I stared at it and she said "I use elementals for attacking, and that was holy light for healing." I nodded in understanding then closed my eyes again and tried to tap into my own inner strength.

After a few minutes I felt something and glanced down to see a silver glow surrounding my hands. I heard the old man say something in a foriegn language and slowly repeated it then blinked when a ball of pure energy floated above my palm. I laughed softly and said "I guess Magic isn't as complex as I thought." Shandi grinned and hugged me then let go and looked away as if surprised she had done that. I accidently let the energy flow away and said "Shit." Her ears turned bright red and she looked down seeming surprised. I sighed softly and said "It appears that I bothered you by cursing. So sorry." She just waved it off then I focused on my hands and chanted something that went through my hand making a ball of darkness appear. She stared at it surprised and I said "I guess this is a good time to say that Chaos not Darkness is evil." She stared at me and I said "You're brother seems to follow dark chaos, even though unisus as you mummbled in your prayer is also ordered light."

She stared at me surprised and asked "Have you been able to understand everything I said." I shook my head then shrugged thinking "Almost all of it, but some only palladins are allowed to know. For some reason I have a feeling some of what I know you wouldn't be able to know." I studied her face then pushed a stray lock of hair away from her veil. I smiled slightly and she asked me "What's so interesting that you have to smile about it." I grinned and pointed at her then walked into the kitchen trying to hold back a yawn. For some reason the little bit of energy I'd used had made me feel pretty tired. After a few minutes someone or something banged on the door. I made another ball of energy and kicked it open then blasted and pulled it shut. I looked at the now broken lock and thought _"Repair yourself damn it, Repair yourself!!!!"_It did as I was thinking then I glanced at Shandi who said "You didn't use an incantation. That's upper level magic, so have you been lying about knowing Magic?" I shook my head slowly then stared at my hands.

After a few minutes I looked outside to see something that made me feel sick to look at lurching away. I glanced at Shandi and said softly "That thing was attracted to our magic. Your's especially, I think it was something meant to absorb holy magic and corrupt it." She stared at me and I said "I don't know where it comes from, but all this knowledge is just appearing." She seemed to smile and I said "You have an idea, don't you?" She nodded and I sighed thinking that I still had to fulfill her god's requirements to get my answers. I glanced at Shandi and said softly "You are a very attractive young, I know that the term would be wrong from anyone else, woman and I ask the honor of kissing you." She stared at me surprised and I said "Normally I'd kiss the girl and say consequences be damn, however I don't want to be shot with lightning right now." She stared at me still and I kissed her hand then walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of Coke.

Shandi walked in and I saluted her with my coke bottle then took a sip from it and stared at the fridge remembering the past.After a few seconds I noticed Shandi was studying me and I looked at her questioningly. She smiled slightly and said "I'll grant your request if you answer me a question, how did you change Dasher's gender?" I grinned slightly then wrote everything that had happened out and flipped it to her thinking "Well she doesn't drive a hard bargain when it comes to something like this." I grinned and watched her read through it. When she was done she said "So she's stuck as a female because of an accident involving your feral side, and your scent, which I've actually noticed." I nodded then walked over and gave her a light kiss on the lips. I walked past her then stopped and smiled at her over my shoulder.

After a few seconds I continued into the room and plopped down on the couch staring at the sky. My feral side took this oppurtunity to say "It appears that you're starting to attract the strange female. I hope you're willing to fight me for her."_I growled softly and thought back _"If you try anything I'll stop you, I dont' care if it kills us. I'll stop you, you bastard." He started laughing and I subconsciously attacked him.After a few minutes I came out on top and he stopped. Then my dark side said "It appears that you've come out on top, but you realize that until you accept us as a part of yourself you won't be able to access your full potential?" I growled and and said softly "I'll accept you when I have all of my memories back, and can finally accept what I am." It laughed and the old man said something to it. I sighed and mummbled "Why do I have the feeling that I'm a lot older than I appear, if not physically or mentally, then at least spiritually." As I laid there doing nothing, Shandi walked in. I smiled at her and said "Welcome to what is currently my humble abode." She smiled then walked up to her room and I noticed that her tail was swishing like Dasher's had when she had ended up entering her heat.

I stared at the cieling fighting with myself about asking her if I could help with that problem. However something told me she'd had bad experiences with sex. I slowly walked up to her room and knocked on her door. She looked at me and I said "It appears you are in the middle of an affliction that most females call there heat." She nodded slowly and I said "If you want some help with it, you know where I am. Sorry if that sounds rude, but I'm not going to mate with you without your permission." After a few seconds I walked back downstairs and sat on the couch thinking that it was strange that I had said that to someone I didn't know all that well. I shook my head slowly and stared at the cieling questioning myself. After a few minutes I yawned and stood up and walked outside. I stood infront of the cabin and started to slowly work with my bow.

I started by shooting the arrow I'd been studying earlier and blinked when it burst into flame in midair. I grinned slightly and said "I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he'd changed what I could do. However, Can I use my own abilities on the arrows, making them more deadly?" I grinned even bigger with that thought actually spoken aloud and started pouring energy into my next shot. Then I let it loose and the target was complettely obliterated. I blinked then fell to one knee feeling weaker than usual and the old man said "You discovered your abilities, now for a warning. Until you've completely released them, don't use them to much or it will kill you. You're abilities are currently feeding off your magic, but a downside to your abilities that mages, palladins, and druids don't need to worry about is, your abilities can feed off of your lifeforcce. Your lifeforce can be replenished with blood, or just food, however it's a finite thing unless you plan to be like a necromancer and use spirits to increase your own lifespan. Although in emergencies this ability can be helpful, If used to much it'll kill you or start draining energy from those around you to keep you alive. With that in mind, I can tell you an upside. If your completely healthy, nothin can stop your magic, unlike those of the holy orders or other magical persuasions." I blinked and walked inside letting that reminder sink in.

I walked upstairs and knocked on Shandi's door. She opened it and said "Is there something wrong?"I nodded slowy then showed her the note I'd written as I walked up the stairs. She blinked and said "Your magic runs on your own lifeforce?" I nodded and she said "That's actually probably one of the fail safes because of how powerful you can be. This means a lot, and it may explain what my brother can do." I nodded then started back outside and she grabbed my arm. I turned around and she smiled at me. I blinked and she said softly "I think your scent is effecting my thought processes." I nodded in understandng her smiling at me making my own mind go down a path I hadn't originally thought of. I walked back down stairs and dunked my head in the sink after filling it with water. When I pulled my head out I stared at my reflection.

After about ten minutes I walked upstairs and knocked on Shandi's door. She looked at me and I smiled then said "Something is making me say this, but for the next three hours I believe I'm going to try to court you. I felt it was only fair to give forewarning, and with that said, I willbe back shortly." I walked downstairs and headed outside. Whatever had attacked the cabin earlier was gone, but it's devastation could be seen all around the Cabin. I shivered and walked away looking for a few of the rarer flowers that grew nearby. After about ten minutes I found the grove we'd always gottne them from and sat down. I stared at the flowers then said softly "Any of you that are close to your time, I would like to take you and give honor to a friend of mine." A few of the flowers bent over, so I walked over and picked them carefully without hurting the rest. I pulled a few of the seed stalks off them and planted them with a soft prayer. Then I toook them and walked back inside holding back a yawn.

I walked back up to Shandi's room and knocked on the door for the third time that night. She looked at me and I handed her the flowers then kissed her hand and said "A few of the rarest flowers, that are only found in this kind of soil. They were about to pass on, so I decided to pick them for a beautiful woman who seems to be as resilient as a winter rose, yet as beautiful as a saphire sprig. With that said, I believe I will leave you to enjoy your sleep without an irritating male such as myself to distract you, and cause problems." She stared at me and I started for the stairs with one last smile over my shoulder. She walked out and tapped me on the shoulder stopping me. I looked at her questioningly and she gave me a light kiss then walked into her room and shut the door. I walked downstairs arguing with my feral side about what the kiss could have meant. After a few seconds I sat down staring at the cieling and said "Why the hell do I go from being a noble dumb ass, to being a jerk, and back?" I shook my head and closed my eyes then heard someone walking downstairs.

I opened one eye and saw Shandi walk past me to the kitchen. Her eyes had a slight redish glow in them behind her veil and said "Your body is in need of blood. I forgot that you were vampiric recently, so if you need some blood, there's a few bags in the freezer." She nodded and I watched her reach in then pull it out and heat it up. I watched her drink it slowly and my subconscious arued with me about what a person could do to me if they could do that to a blood bag. I ignored it then closed my eyes as my stomach growled. I laughed softly and walked over then grabbed my own bag out of the freezer. She looked at me as I heated it up and I raised an eyebrow questioningly. She shrugged and walked back upstairs as I heated up the blood and tore off the top of the packet. I drank the blood slowly while watching Shandi walk and feeling my brain and lower body start arguing again. I sighed and muttered "It's going to be a long, long, long night." I walked back to the couch and sat down as Shandi sat on the stairs looking at one of the flowers.

I followed her eyes and said "Saphire moon blossoms. They are born on the full moon, and each one lasts one cycle. So long as the moon is out, they can survive, a storm whipes away all of the blossoms. It's sort of like a person taking away happiness." She looked at me and I said "I don't know anything about your past other than that you have a brother, that he's your opposite, and that he's harmed you in some way. I only know all of that because I've seen it in your eyes, when I asked you about him. I'm sorry to be rude, but milady I hate seeing someone in pain." She stared at me and I walked back into the kitchen then grabbed a blood bag and handed it to her. She stared at me and I said "I'd have gotten you a box of chocolates, but blood happens to be one of the few things this place is stalked up with." She laughed slightly and I sat down staring her in the eyes. She looked away after a bit and I said softly "Your eyes are very beautiful, and they show your intelligence."

She looked at me and I smiled at her then sat back and leaned against the wall. She studied me and said "What makes you so sure you know anything about me." I shurgged and noticed that she had the spirt of a fighter, despite everything sh'e probaby been through. I smiled slightly thinking that she was completely different from most of the people I'd met before ending up at Genehigh. She studied me and asked "What are you thinking?" I smiled slightly then pointed at her and the flower. She stared at me seeming to understand and said "What makes you believe that I'm like the flower?"

I smiled slightly and said "Despite the fact you've been around a very long time, you don't stay at any place for very long. You're also both beautiful, and attract attention without really trying or wanting to. However the biggest thing that connects the two of you is that you are both able to take whatever the world throws at you and try to turn it to your advantage. Many call the saphire moon blossom the flower of survival. Many who don't live in the air used to believe the old legend that a girl who was running fell and was hidden by the flowers. I myself don't know, but I have a feeling that the flower's story is a lot like your own." She looked at me then walked up to her room. I followed her with my eyes. She turned aroudn at the top of the stairs and smiled at me then went into her room.

I sighed and followed her up then walked inside. When I got in she slammed me against the wall and said "What makes you think all of this? You found out about my brother from looking at me, I have to find that hard to believe. He told you to find me didn't he?" I growled softly and pushed her against the wall then stared into her eyes. She stared back and I let up then shook my head and leaned on the wall. She stared at me and said "You really don't know my brother, then why are you so worried about me?"

I sighed softly and said "Because I think you are a good person, and I believe I'm falling for you. It has nothing to do with hormones. I just have a feeling that you are a good person, and that you have your own problems. You're beautiful, smart, and a good fighter, as I found out today. You're also a loyal friend, and I can understand why you assumed I was working for your brother. He and I seem to be alike from how you act, but unlike him I won't hurt you even if it costs me everything." I walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. Then let my own aura synchronize with hers so she could read everything about me. I shook my head and pulled my hand away feeling surprised that besides letting her see my aura I saw through hers. I stared at her then kissed her again and stepped back shaking my head and calling myself an idiot. However something inside me told me that I was helping her in multiple ways.

After a few minutes I stared her in the eyes and said softly "I won't hurt you. I don't care if you want to tear my hide off before this is done, I promise it won't cause me to do anything harmful to you. If you can trust me, I'm going to try and make this one of the best nights of your life." She shook her head slowly then I walked over and kissed her letting my arms wrap around her protectively rather than possesively. I felt her start to pull away and I pulled my arms from around her and held them out wide. She looked at me seeming surprised and I said softly "Anything you don't feel comfortable about, you just have to tell me and I'll stop." She nodded and I felt my dominant nature trying to take over like it usually did.

I slowly pushed her onto her back and started to rub her breasts while kissing her. I really did plan to make this night as memorable as possible. I blinked when her tail suddenly wrapped around my crotch and gave it a slight squeeze. I yipped in surprise then stared into Shandi's eyes without a veil in the way for the first time. I smiled slightly and said "You have beautiful eyes." Then kissed her again as she smiled back. I reached down and ran my fingers across her belly fur while my tail slowly storked up and down the outter lips of her labia. She growled at me and I nipped her neck very lightly knowing for some reason that vampires were sensitive as far as their necks went. She smiled and I said softly "I told you I wouldn't hurt you, and honestly your beauty has nearly made me speechless this entire night." She blinked and I reached down then rubbed her tail knowing that on many creatures it was an erogenous zone, and ran the tip of my own tail across her labia and around her inner thighs. My hands kept slowly rubbing her breatsts and running up and down her stomach as she started to get turned on.

I felt a bit of liquid on my tail's tip and started to slowly line up my hips with Shandi's then stroked her neck with a soft touch. My tail wrapped around hers as it kept stroking my sack and I thought "If every girl had a tail like that, I'd never get a moment of rest." I slowly lined up my shaft, which had recently come to it's full length, up with Shandi's labi and gently licked her neck. She glanced at me and I met her eyes letting them ask my questions for me. She nodded slowly and said "I'm ready, although I know this will be painful." I raised an eyebrow questioningly and she said "The last time this nearly happened it was very painful." I growled thinking that anyone who could cause such a good person to feel a lot of pain deserved to be treated twice as bad. I gently licked her neck then kissed her as I slowly thrust my hips forward until the tip of my length hit a barrier. After a few seconds I pulled back and thrust forward hard until my hips connected with hers.

I stared her in the eyes and asked "Did that cause any pain?" She slowly nodded then I waited until she shook her head and I kissed her again as I pulled my hips out then felt her tail running up and down my back. I shivered slightly and mummbled "It seems like that thing has a mind of it's own." I glanced at it and saw that there was an aura of magic all about her tail and body. The one around her tail was that of a spell, the one around her body was that of a magic user. I was starting to be able to tell the difference without to much trouble. I gently bit down on her neck as I started to slowly move my hips faster while gently stroking her breasts, and letting my tail wrap around hers. I felt something happening to my tail and thought "Oh come on the magic can't be rubbing off on my tail of all things!!!!" I glanced back to see that magic was surrounding my tail as it rubbed against Shandi's and I just sighed in acceptance. I bit down until I drew blood then licked the wound sealing it and getting the blood. After a few seconds my hips started to speed up as I started to rub her breasts slightly quicker and my tail seemed to almost flirt with hers.

After a few minutes Shandi bit down on my shoulder and my instincts kicked in making me bite the side of her neck hard. She growled ferally and I felt her claws starting to scratch down my sides as her velvet tunnel started to squeeze down on my length. I started thrusting faster and harder, after a few seconds I hit her G spot and she growled into my shoulder in pleasure. When she let go of my shoulder I saw some blood on her fangs and let go of her neck feeling blood trail down my throat. I looked at her and she growled at me then the two of us kissed as her tail and mine wrapped around each other and her tunnel squeezed down on my shaft coating it in her juices and spreading her blood further along it. She growled again and I saw a light in her eyes that seemed different, but made my blood boil with lust. I bit down on her neck again and thrust into her as hard as I could feeling the tip of my cock slam through her cervix. I let go of her neck and licked the wound wondering if my feral side and myself were starting to merge.

I started to ask her if anything about me had changed, However after a few seconds I saw injuries starting to appear all over her body and used my own lifeforce to heal them and whoever they were really being caused to. I felt the energy slipping from me, but the blood I'd gotten from Shandi completely energized me and I knew that I could handle healing someone and still keeping my body moving. After about ten minutes I felt my knot start to inflate and I noticed that my cock seemed to be longer than before. I kissed Shandi to take her mind off the pain I felt coming from her then started to slowly draw the pain into the palm of my hand and felt my tail stiffen around hers as the pain got worse. I kept taking the pain as my cock moved further into her body and my knot started to grow thicker. After a few minutes it locked the two of us together and I had to use short rapid thrusts as my feral ancestors would have. Finally I felt her off in a large orgasm making her tunnel squeeze down on and quake around me which set off my own orgasm. As I released I swore I heard someone scream the word no and felt the pain get worse then start to fade.

I smiled at Shandi and said "I hope you enjoyed that, because every part of my body and brain is screaming that if I didn't do my best we'll just have to go again." My knot started to deflate and I slipped out of her then I laid down next to her and felt myself passing out. I glanced at my hand to see that there was a black wound in it that seemed to be festering. I mummbled "I guess the pain wasn't all I took from them,I also took something that linked the two of you, at least in part. I hope it doesn't effect how we treat each other." Then passed into a deep sleep where I stood across from a snowleapord with pure black wings who ranted and raved at me. I knew he couldn't touch me so I argued back then the two of us clashed and my sword's blade shattered. He laughed and I heard myself saying something about finding a better weapon then everything turned black.
