Come with Me.
I have excelled at my job here, and I have stayed dedicated and useful these past few weeks. I've stored my pay, and handled it wisely. I'm really catching on to this human thing. I have a little phone now. Evers has shown me how to work it. I even complete my work fluently, and with time to spare. So much so that I even tend to the gardening and extra tasks that the older couple can find for me. In my down time I have taught the rabbit dogs how to stay on trail, and how to distinguish old trails from new. I have also found that I am being followed, and it is certainly not Alec.
I set the gardening hoe against a pear tree, and I stand fully focused on the woodline just behind the garden spot. I cannot catch the scent, but I have heard it move. Not only have I heard it today, but I have heard it on my travel back and fourth and outside the patio area behind Moira's home. Just below my room. Even if I could not hear it, nor

'Woman' Bonding.
The old couple sold out, and they gave me a bonus with my last pay as I helped them to pack into the large moving van. They gave me hugs, cheek kisses and a jar of honey from one of their friends. I was down hearted to see them go, but I understood that this was best for them. I couldn't however, feel like I was lost. Now there was no job, I'd have to find a new means of supporting myself in this world. Until I find a job that will accept me, I am spending much time with Alec and Evers. I've spent the past couple weeks meeting Evers for breakfast, or after her shifts for runs at the park. I figured out that humans prefer certain attire for this, after Evers called me weird for my running in the jeans. So I took a few dollars, as they call them, to buy a couple pieces that favor what Evers had. It felt nice to gain her approval, and I had to steady myself constantly to keep from outrunning even her heartiest jo
'Woman' Heat.
Well?" "You wouldn't be a bad choice, at all. I'm just not certain that I am ready to move on. Or to commit to anything for that matter." "You say that now, but you might beg me later. I'm just saying, we've become quite close. I don't want you to alienate yourself from me." He tucks my hair behind my ear, and I chew the inside of my lip not to say anything. Im not even sure how to respond. I understand what he is implying. And while I admit I have too felt some chemistry between us, and still hung up over the idea of moving on. It stills feels so wrong, and I fear being used. I want to have a being of my own, casual affairs don't seem appealing to me. Nor does the thought of possibly raising a pup alone, in the event he dropped me or found himself a mate.
'Woman' Denial.
Once I had changed and left the sanctuary of the restroom, Alec had captured my hand and lead me from the house. He said he had a place I mind that humans often frequented and that I would enjoy the food. The food was the least of my worries, I was just content to come along and be among others. I feel I can better control myself in the presence of others, and the anxiety of them lurking alone should keep me grounded. My heart thumps with foreign excitement, and my head floods with guilt. I'm confused, enticed, and angry with myself. How would Remus feel about my betrayal? It has only been months since his death, and here I am thinking of another."Aislaine?" I tear my eyes from the pavement and look to Alec."Alec?""Are you alright? You keep spacing out on me. Heavy mind?""Yes.""To which question?""Both..."
'Woman' How It Started Pt.1
Shouts and pounding feet fill the air behind me as I run for cover. I hear the cries of many. Men, women, children. Some even laugh! I am being pursued by a fleet of males, all dressed in black attire with exceptionally shiny shoes. Incase you are wondering, I'm being chased for my lack of attire. Apparently humans wear clothes. I did not know this. They are not customary where I come from.A few loud whistles ring as I run, and soon I round the bend and run between two buildings. I am much faster than them, even in my human. I jump over the plastic barrels which smell like they contain garbage, and I leap high. My hands and feet find the holes in the fence of metal links and I scurry across in search of cover. Some day, I'll laugh at this. Right now though, right now is Hella stressful. Before we get into the now though, I'd like to tell you a little story. A story about how I got here in the first place, as you've probably already figure
'Woman' How It Started Pt.2
I moved several miles that day, in my wolf with my blanket of supplies and the ashes of my would be mate tied up and dangling from my mouth. The grapevine chain was very long and hung close to my navel, so it was fine to leave on and it dangled from my wolf's neck as I carefully selected my route to who knows where. I would sniff cautiously, searching for evidence of others. If I detected any, I would reroute. I worried that those responsible for turning my world upside down, would come back to check for survivors or even loot. They would have my scent from around our pack territory, and might recognize it and seek me out. I couldn't afford to be found by others. Being found would have resulted in being taken into a pack I didn't agree to, killed, robbed, or even molested. There were too many horror stories I had heard. And farther from us were more to fear than just other wolves. There were other were
'Woman' City Wolves.
I studied the magazine for a while, trying to make sense of the words and images before me. Humans were complex. Especially females. They were expected to be everything. This would make it much tougher to live among them, but now I had a better idea of how to mingle with them. I could turn around and leave of course, but I came all this way to see this through. I want to explore, and I still feel safer here.I just have to bathe. Wear the shirt. Acquire pants and shoes. Arrange my hair a bit. So I get to work on that. I follow the stream back till I find a good spot, wide and shallow. Warmed from the sun. I wade in and roll around. I bite mouthfuls of fresh, clear water and I paddle around a bit. I remember my purpose here, and I dutifully scrub everywhere. I extend my claws and use them to comb through my hair as I ring it dry. I play for a bit longer and drink before climbing up a wide branch nearby to dry in the sun.Once dry, I
'Woman' Friend.
I narrow my eyes, and as the first male lunges for me I fling the dust and dirt up into the air. Leaping from my crouch, I turn before landing and I head back for the city. I need the cover of people. Their fear of exposure tells me they wouldn't dare attack me in the sight of others. I have a death grip on the satchel containing my love's ashes as I bound, harder perhaps than I've ever pushed myself before. I'd love to shift, but I would destroy this garment that I need.I can hear their paws and feet, pummeling ground as they work to catch me. I am fast though, human or wolf form they will put in work to catch me. Remus had drilled it into my mind to be stealthy, and to be speedy. My father had also taught me to be fast, not wanting to be responsible for me or distracted by me either.The females curse and growl behind me, the males are silent in focus. I bust through into the park area, and they break through behind me. I pump my legs har
'Woman' Moira.
I have an extra spring in my step after finding the money. I feel bad that I could not find it's owner, but I am thrilled to have lucked into an easy meal and new attire. I do see what Eve was meaning, the bold yellow dress truly does draw too much attention. It stands out too much among the others. I want to blend. I need to be as they are. So I roam around the streets looking at signs on buildings and wondering how exactly to go about finding better camouflage. I feel bold, and I approach a middle aged female. "Hello. I notice you are dressed lovely. I am not from here, nor familiar with these buildings. Do you know any affordable buildings to buy attire from?" I curse myself for my stiff dialect, but communication with most humans still makes me nervous. "So formal and charming. Yes. That dress is overwhelming my dear. But let me let you in on a secret." Her mouth scr
