29: Hard mornings
*Luca*
I sit down with a cup of coffee at the dining table. It was my brilliant idea, so Martin and Andreas had agreed that it was also me who had to take the night watch.
The beast out in the shed has finally stopped banging on the walls and keeps quiet. Its heartbeat has lowered slightly. It is not happy to be locked inside, but at least it is alive. I will not go out there yet and risk launching a new tantrum. Our farm here is quite remote, but to me the noise of the werewolf sounded so loud that I am unsure if ordinary people would be able to hear it if they drove past down by the main road.
It is strange how quickly I have adapted to my amplified senses. I can only faintly remember how it had been before. I miss being normal. It is such a curse t

*Gudrun*"Wait! I'm not here to fight !” I hold out both arms to show that I am carrying no weapon while I slowly step away from my car. It contradicts everything I have learned, everything I stand for, to stand here in a stranger place and talk to a huge dark brown hamram.Its gaze closely follows every step I take. I can not believe it, but it actually seems to understand what I am saying.Our eyes meet, and it bares its teeth in a warning growl, but remains standing passive on the porch. For inexplicable reasons, I know I am not in danger. The gaze of the high wolf flickers over towards my sister, who slides out of the passenger side. It steps forward a few steps and snarls furiously.

*Soleil*I walk along the wheel track that me and Gudrun had driven down to get to the desolate farm. It contradicts my better judgment to leave my sister with a fully transformed hamram, but Gudrun had insisted. I decide to stop as I round the nearest corner, seeking refuge under the bare branches of the pine trees that stand close along the road and form a fair cover. As long as I keep quiet, I can at least listen to what is going on in the courtyard without revealing my presence.It was Marta who had found the desolate farm.After the night's outsitting, where we found Luca and the others, Marta had sought through her contact with the creatures of the earth. Because her kin is a troll, her abilities are stronger than the rest of us, when it c

*Gudrun*My heart is in my throat as the huge wolf lifts me off his back in shelter behind a heap of rock.I watch, horrified as Martin continues in long jumps towards the other hamram. They thunder into each other furiously, and I take it upon myself to worry about whether he will get hurt.The fight looks deadly as they rip and beat at each other, so tufts of fur and splashes of blood flies around them. It looks like Luca is trying to get rid of Martin and constantly searching towards a specific goal. I only now discover the bundle on the grounds, a cloak, which lays completely still in the grass.Soleil ! Instantly, I am torn back to reality. What was I thinking ? That's what t

*Soleil*I forget all about my anger when I see Luca lying lifeless in the grass. His eyes are closed, he is barely breathing and does not react when I shake him.“No, oh, no ! What have I done ?"I try to lift his head, but my hands slips in the fur, and I can not get hold due to all the sticky blood,he is smeared into.“Luca, can you hear me ? I'm laying my hands on you now. It should be okay, let me help you heal”.I close my eyes and begin to sing the healing song that Gudrun had taught me after my own fatal encounter with the hamram in the house.

*Gudrun*"It's going to be hard to top what you exposed me to". Martin stops in the courtyard as we arrive back at the desolate farm, and blinks down at me. "Dinner and a movie ?""A simple thank you is good enough for me”. I blush and look away."Well, thank you, then".His gaze scrutinizes mine and I get a clear sense that he knows exactly what I am feeling. A wave of the inappropriate unspokenness he had shown me at the imaginary lake makes me gasp, which only makes his mouth stretch in a larger grin. Intolerable!"We'd better get going”. I flee over to her car “Would you please explain the problem to

*Gudrun*It has gradually become dark as we roll into the courtyard in front of the hut. Soleil is about to step out, but I stop her."What do we say to them ?""What do you want to say ?""We tried to talk to the Pugh boys, but we had a falling out. They ended up in a fight and we had to save them ?”"It's okay, Gudrun. It is my fault. I will telI them that I attacked Luca and Martin stopped us.

*Gudrun*I welcome the surroundings when we go out in the evening to another out sitting on the sejdhjal.Finally, I can get a respite from my confused thoughts and just enjoy the cohesion.The winter cold has begun to whisper between the trees as far north as we are, and we agree not to sing too long with nature."Our kin will forgive us". Siri chuckles. "My old bones can no longer bear it”."Yes, we are some fragile meat suits". Soleil concludes."Meatsuits "? Martha looks up from the fire.

*Gudrun*I turn hesitantly, ready to go. Suddenly I feel a cold breath on my neck. I turn around and see the huge body rise to its full height in front of me. He holds a paw out to me, and with a strained snarl he pulls the wolf's features back. He does not manage to fully transform before I, driven by an impulse I can not control, throws myself around his neck and presses my lips against his.He freezes and pulls his face back."I ... hurt you". His dark voice rumbles. He narrows his eyes, and when he opens them again, the last remnant of the wolf is driven away. "I'm talking like a caveman"."Martin, you're a caveman". I laugh. My fingers curiously follow the powerful jaw line.
