Take me back to when it all made sense... (Open!)

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist i have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist i run
out from the new day's mist I have come
we shift
pulsing with the earth
company we keep
roaming the land while you sleep

(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling I've been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift)back to the meaning, Back to the meaning of... LIFE

bright is the moon high in starlight
chill in the air cold as steel tonight
we shift
call of the wild
fear in your eyes
it's later than you realized

(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling I've been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift) back to the meaning, Back to the meaning of...LIFE

I feel a change
back to a better day
(shape shift)
hair stands on the back of my neck
(move shift)
in wildness is the preservation of the world

so seek the wolf in thyself

(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling I have been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift)back to the meaning, back to the meaning of wolf and man

The light, the music, the cheering and singing along. Oh how she loved it! The attention, the praise. They knew talent. Jaxon moved gracefully on the stage, urged on by the crowd. The outfit she'd picked was small. Short skirt, tank top and a jacket. This song meant so much to her. More than anyone else can fathom. Not quite her theme song but it let her express what she truly was. The humans didn't have a clue.

She could go on and on. She knew tons of songs. So did the band behind her. But she could smell them on the wind. They were coming to try and best her. These boys who had no idea what true power was. Her hands clenched, she was flexing her power. Feeling the tightness of her muscles. The strength within her. Her strange eyes looked up the moon. Not yet full but oh so close.

The crowd was in an uproar, demanding so much more from her. She flashed a wolfish grin and said her goodbyes. She blew a kiss to the wind and walked down the stage. Who knew that she would soon be surrounded by big puppies. Yes, puppies. They had come so many times before and failed. Over and over. Over and over. When would these boys learn?

Disapppearing into the forest, Jaxon felt the fire in her veins beginning to come out, demanding she change. Not yet. Oh no. She'd let them think they had the advantage this time. A wicked grin on her face.[/color][/size]

Drex walked through the forest his headphones tuning nearly everything out of his hearing, the lyrics were only slightly audible to the outside world. The music wasn't blaring, but it was loud to say the least he had one hand ins hia pants pocket and the other held on to a backpack that was slung over his shoulder which is also where his cd player was.

the knives in his belt jingled slightly as he walked he began to lip the lyrics of the song he was listening to. he had his eyes closed as he walked keeping in mind where he was headed.

Jaxon stood in the middle of a clearing. Her face turned towards the moon. The light sning on her, making her sparkle. She seemed so different from the rest of the werewolves. She wasn't focused on making a pack. Having a mate. She wanted to live her life. She wanted to be with her pack. That arrogant Alpha had shoved her aside when she refused to be with him. Why should she settle for someone who couldn't best her? Someone who would just tie her down.

A hand ran through her short hair, making appear a little bit messier. They were closer. She heard them moving around her. Only three. The 'leader' was the only one she recognized. His scent was wild and much like a car. Of course. He was a mechanic in the town. They changed forms and walked over to her. The leader in front of her and the two new ones behind her. "Hello Jaxon."

"Hello loser. Come to try your hand again?" She grinned and folded her arms across her chest. "Because you've failed about five times now? Can't you just give it up?" She laughed at him.

His grin matched hers. "Oh, i am not here to challenge you again. You're just a b**** who needs to have a good wolf show you that. If it's not me, so be it." He shrugged casually. "I simply came to tell you that your mother is dying." With that, he shifted and left with the other two.

Jaxon felt as if the wind had been knocked out of her. Her mother was... dying? She fell to her knees and looked at the ground. She closed her eyes tightly. She couldn't go back there. The last time she was caught, the Alpha told her if she came back.. she would have to marry him or her family would be kicked out. What was she to do?[/color]

Drex continued to walked his path clear of trees and shubs, he had taken the earbuds out of his ears so he could listen to the sounds of the night. He love hearing crickets chirp in the distance it was calming sound to him, the sound of the wind gently rustling the tree leaves had sent him into a new state of relaxtion.

After bit of walking something broke the silence speaking, and the inevitable scent of a werewolf, four of them in fact. he had ran into werewolves on several occasions, well he befriended one to be honest, but he wasn't really use to her scent yet.

Upon moving towards the scents he smelled he snuck into a tree soundless as he climbed, hiding in the shadows of the tree leaves he was down wind of them and he made sure of that. as he looked on he saw two in there wolf form and another who had shifted back to his original form, and then he laid eye onto the girl.

It was Jaxon, but who were the other three he continued to watched unsure of what he could do if there was anything he could do in the first place. Waiting to see this event unfold he watch on worried that Jaxon maybe in trouble.

Jaxon curled forward, resting her head on the ground. Tears began to fall from her eyes but she made no sound. Her body trembled with the cries she wouldn't let out. Either she wasn't there when her mother died or she was forced into a marriage she didn't want. This was killing her. It would be easier if the Alpha simply wasn't there. If he hadn't been pushed on her. Who was he to suddenly have such power? She was the daughter. Shouldn't it be her?

She sat up, looking to the moon. Her eyes closed and she asked the Mother for advice. For some reason, it had always been the males who lead the packs. Why not a female? Why not her? Her father had raised her to be a leader. He assumed she would mate the alpha. That they would be... In all actuality, she missed her pack terribly. She was almost willing to do anything to have them again. Almost anything.[/color]

Drex looked one as the others left when he laid eyes upon Jaxon again her trembling was the first thing to catch his attention. Leaping from the tree he walked over to her caustiously unsure if she wanted him there in the first place. "Jaxon," he said softly wanting to make her aware of his presence before he approached closer.

he never really liked being around werewolves when they were upset, but Jaxon was his best friend he needed to be there for her, she was upset, but perhaps him being there would calm at least a little bit.

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

Jaxon jumped and looked up at him. "Drex." She stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes and the dirt from her clothes and legs. "Im sorry. I didn't notice you there." She strightened herself and smiled at him. It was a fake one. Her grief had stopped her from noticing that he was there. She didn't want him to know what was going on. She had told him that she had left her pack of her own free will. It was a major lie but she didn't like bringing up such bad memories.

She took a deep breath. "How are you?" She walked over to him. "You didn't come and see me perform tonight. I missed you." Jaxon kept the smile on her face, as fake as it was.[/color]

[Reako - Demon or Angel]

Drex had been around her enough to know when she upset she always tried to hide it and he wasn't wanting her to avoid the subject,"Jaxon...I heard everything that was said," he said softly as he looked away from her slightly, he always wanted her to be truthful with him,"Please don't hide anything from me I want to try to help you as best as I can."

He looked at her and crossed his arm over his chest as he waited for answer hoping she would be upset with him he was her best friend after all he wanted to help in anyway he could.

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

"d**nit..." Jaxon sighed and looked up, placing a hand over her face. She took a few deep breaths and looked back to him. "I guess i should start from the beginning then. I am the daughter of an Alpha. He died a few years back and when the new Alpha took over, he came after me. Wanted me to be his mate. I wouldn't have it. I... i fought him. I won and was banished from the pack. From their lands." She was shaking, thinking about it. Drex had been one of the first to care for her as a friend. Someone outside her pack. She adored him and felt bad for lying to him all this time.

"It's shameful so i kept it to myself. I didn't want you to think less of me." She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself. She had never been one for things like hugging or even touching but right now she needed it. "I'm sorry." She looked down, ashamed.[/color]

[Reako - Demon or Angel]

Drex listened well to her words as she spoke, her life as it had been and as it was now, yes werebats had colonies that they lived in, but he wasn't from one of them, his species prefered solitude with their mates if they had one. he life as an alpha's daughter seemed to be a burden it seemed, not able to lead her pack without being the mate of the alpha male that seemed to just take the place as soon as it was open.

when she placed her arms around herself he shook his head when she said it was shameful,"I see no shame in it Jaxon, but I'm not from a colony, because my paticular species doesn't live together," he said softly stepping close to her, and placing his arms around her, she needed comfort and he knew that, he wanted to comfort her in her darkest of hours, to let her know that he would always try and be there for her.

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

She was thrown off byt the hug, not expecting it. They'd been friends for a couple of years now and he knew how she felt about it. But Jaxon did need it and she leaned against him. "But wolves are in a pack. That is how we live. Together. Now my mother is dying and to see her, i have to me mated to that bastard. Why can't i lead the pack? Why won't they listen to a woman?" She looked up at him, the tears back.

"I'm sorry. I know this isn't your way of life. I know i shouldn't be so upset about it but my mother is dying and i cannot see her. Comfort her and even tell her that i love her." Her voice broke and she tried not to let herself follow. She hurt so much.[/color]

[Reako - Demon or Angel]

Drex held onto her gently,"I know, and doing that would moe than likely tear you apart, however..." his voice trailed off as he slowly leaned away from her and looked at her,"I could go with you, they would know what I am of course, but I will be there incase they try to do something, you shouldn't be driven away from your mother in her most dire need," he spoke softly as he looked at her.

he knew that her wolf pack would probly think him crazy for even going into their territory, but he was really scared of them, fight for him was a last resort if nothing else worked and it seemed that going there talking was out of the question for him,"Your pack may underestimate me, because I don't all that strong," he said witha friendly smirk trying to cheer her up as best as he could.

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

Jaxon shook her head, taking a few deep breaths. "I couldn't put you in danger like that, Drex." Her voice was shaking and she didn't seem to be able to regain her control. She rested her head on his chest and sighed. "I.. i don't know what to do. I didn't even think of this possibilty..."

She knew she had no choice now. She'd have to go back. She'd have to be mated. She sighed and pulled away. What she truly wanted was to be back with her pack. She'd always had visions of the Alpha going back to the way he had been. He was always nice to her. It was when he forced himself on her that she got mad. When he became crazed with power...[/color]

[Reako - Demon or Angel]

Drex smiled,"Danger, I live in danger everytime I walk out my apartment, facing some werewolves is the least of my worries, ok," he said chuckling. he looked at her and shook his head,"Jaxon there are many possibilities it is only when you are able to see them is when you can make the right choice."

"If you want to go back then i'm not really going to stop you, your choice is yours to make, but I will tell you this make sure it is what you really want," he said sodtly, he knew how much she wanted to be back with her pack she always made a comment about how much she missed being with them. he would probly never understand what she felt and that was such a pain for him to take,"What will you do?"

[Kali - Lithium Flower]

Jaxon wanted to scream, cry, and just lose herself in the change. But she couldn't. No more running away. "I will fight him..." She said softly, more to herself than him. "I cannot allow him to take me from my home and my rightful place as the leader of my pack. Like my father wanted me to be." She closed her eyes.

"They will want me to get mated though. Not to him but to someone." She sighed, annoyed. Pulling away from him and clenched her fists. She let out a very loud howl. Her form beginning to change. Before Drex was a black wolf. She was smaller than most but held a sense of power. Her eyes the same as Jaxon's. She seemed to glow as she laid down. In her human form, it was hard to just let herself go. Now, in this form, she looked up at him, tail wagging slightly.[/color]
