He was surprised by what Blood told him. However, He did not feel like arguing and accepted his answer and asked "Can you get up and walk? We have an extra room upstairs if you need to stay for a while." He looked over at Wake who was flipping through channels and cussing. Next he spotted John and Violet talking. "Wake will show you where it is." He spoke watching Wake. She turned and smiled at Beck. "Fine." She muttered looking up at him. Then she got up and began to help Alex from the table.
/i.c./ Wake
"Damnit!" I cursed the TV. Beck asked me to show the boy his room. "This way." I had seconds ago decided to make it sound like I was giving a tour to lighten the mood. I was helping the boy off of his old bed... er... table and to his new one.
/I.C./ Scarlet
I herd Wake cursing which was not unheard of, but also heard Beck talking to her and he new guy. So I walked downstairs and saw her helping him off of the table. Something about the way she looked at him... it disgusted me.
"My gag reflex is about to kick in here..." I snorted with a hearty laugh. Wake looked at me like I was insane. I rolled my eyes and asked "How ya' feeling, Alex?" I enunciated the 'X' and pushed off the counter and ended the stunt with a swirl. Then, I went outside. I did not change. It was cold, but not too cold. And with my level of control I could do it. I pulled my legs over the railing of the deck and stood up on it. The wind blew and I let my arms fall to my sides.
Falling...Slipping...
I let my knees buckle and fell to the grass. The feeling of falling was like freedom, and I was finally free. Inertia would have let me fall forever, but the ground intercepted. Lying there thinking about what I would do next, but the only thing I was sure of was
- That I would lie here for a lifetime
- That I was wolf
- That I knew what I was going to do next
