Speaking of Noble, Harmony remembered something and said, “Oh, there’s something I wanted to talk to you about.” Willow nodded. “Go ahead.” “Um… Ever since Henry left us, I feel that you’ve been a little off. If… It hurts too much, I can go to the hospital with you to check things out.” “The hospital? Why?” Harmony looked worriedly at Willow and explained, “I’m afraid that you’re under too much stress and that it'll lead to depression.” Willow could not help but smile. She pat Harmony's shoulder. “Thanks for worrying about me, but rest assured, I’m fine. Now, hurry up and do your homework. I’ll be leaving first.”

He appears human except that instead of a face, he has a raptor’s beak. The whole thing ends with the ravaged land growing wings and rising as a flock of angry blackbirds, all determined to blot out the heavens in both shape and sound. And it’s always at this point I wake invariably soaked in cold sweat. The bad dream is a fairly recent affliction, as though it was triggered like an alarm, pre-programmed in ever crescendoing intensity. But I’ve known its chilling soundtrack ever since I was a teen. The noise has hung around me like a shroud and I didn’t use to mind it so much when I was younger. Now it seems like I was ever only this bisexual metalhead who couldn’t function without meds, who

He can't find me. I have to run away, somewhere, anywhere. He just can't find me. He may already know where I am for all I know. I walked right into a hard wall, stumbling back I lost my balance. I waited for my body to come in contact with the ground but it never came. I opened my tightly shut eyes, all the breath was knocked out of my lungs as I stared into a mesmerizing pair of green eyes. "Mr Black?" His face was barely an inch away from mine, his breath fanned against my face.

He taught me that emotions are weakness to be exploited. I sigh in resignation. “Who is it?” Who am I to call mate for what may be the rest of my life?” I can feel the apology in her tone. “Their Alpha's younger brother. Derrick Blackbird.” A cool breeze makes me shudder. Every supernatural knows about the Blackbirds. Old money and even older power. Everyone knows about them. Especially to stay away from them. “I don't even know him.” I say in annoyance. “It doesn't matter anyways. It's purely political.”

My thighs have become weapons-grade misery. Even my fingers somehow hurt. River listens patiently while I describe all my injuries in graphic detail, his mouth twitching every few seconds like he's trying not to laugh. "The physical part matters," he says eventually, his thumbs pressing into another knot buried deep beneath my shoulder blade. "The mental more so. Your wolf isn't separate from your body. People like to talk about shifting like it's magic, but it isn't. It's biological. Your muscles, bones, organs, heart. Everything changes."

Each step was heavier, each strike slower, until even the creatures’ snarls sounded distant. Then the blackness came. It crept at the edges of my vision, seeping inward like ink in water. My limbs dulled, my breaths rattled. I swayed, the world spinning in broken fragments of silver moon and twisted

A flock of blackbirds flew out from the thicks of green, and hastily headed out of the forest—they were a good reminder, that this world was indeed inhabited. The tranquil river. Still, gently strolled. Suddenly, Hu–––um!!! there was a brash, buzzing sound, coming from the sky. Something big was approaching. The sky rapidly became blackish-grey, as whatever was coming, drew closer. Within a short moment, All things quickly fell into a frenzy. As the sleeper-winds, awakened in excitation, and peeked, pace—Brushing ferociously, at the boscage. The docile river started to ripple, crazily. As the breeze swept through the lands and waters.

I believe… that the reason I cannot sustain my body is that… I was not like you… at first, I was just like any other snake… a mindless creature that followed its instincts… but you! Bob winces as Blacky screamed in his mind. You’re unique! A bright mind despite not being awakened! If I were to consume you… I would surely never have to fear loss… Now Bob… surrender yourself… I shall consume you… and we shall be one! Blacky’s many heads open their jaws, preparing themselves to rip apart the weakened monkey. Bob tries to raise the dagger again but his hand feebly falls to the ground. Yes… I can feel your mind wiggling in terror! Do it more! My lesser kin could not even show as much terror as yo
