Whisper of the Unknown..

~Feeling the crisp chill of November as snow flurries dance around while the wind whips at them in different directions Willow looked around, feeling warmth wrap around her left hand causing her to look into the eyes of her best friend Lily. Willow watched her friend's eyes light up while walking away from the foster home as they followed Lily's older brother Jack who was leading them to a store to pick up some gifts for Michael's birthday. Willow watched with intense interest as Jack's jeans cupped his ass in the right way her gaze dropping towards his thighs which were hugged right as well, biting her bottom lip on the right side trying to suppress her voice before a giggle pulled Willow's attention away from trying to imagine what she would to to Jack. Staring into the eyes of her best friend, Lily, as heat rushed into Willow's ears and face "What are you giggling about?" Willow harshly spoke in a failed whisper as Lily whistled and released her hand before running to join Jack's side leaving Willow to follow after quietly. Glancing around at the storefronts Willow could hear Jack and Lily conversing as snow crunched beneath their boots, something flashed and Willow turned to walk towards it not paying attention to her friends' voices drifting off in the distance. Watching a girl try on a black plated skirt with purple and blue plaid design that fell down to mid length on the girl's thighs medium sized fishnet stockings and 3 inch platforms, Willow's gaze started back up to see a mesh long sleeve cover the girl's belly as a blue sleeveless crop top slipped over a bulbasuar sitting in the middle of it with squirtle standing beside it. The girl's hair was blonde with black, purple, red and blue highlights tied up into high side pig tails Willow muttered to herself "Gothic nerd? Cute.." before feeling a sharp kick to the back of her legs. Gasping as she fell back onto her ass she looked up to see Michael with his arms crossed over his chest tapping his foot with a guy 3 inches shorter than Michael stood beside him, his torso was almost as round as Matilda's while the guy's hair was a poorly tamed for of red curls. Frowning she stood up and brushed off her dark blue jeans as she snapped "What do you want, Asshole Junior?" staring daggers at the boy who started towards her and grabbed her by her jaw, pushing her towards an ally before shoving her away. Tripping backwards Willow shouted and fell into the metal frame of a garbage bin feeling the burning bite across her back and shoulder as Michael chuckled "You thought you could sneak up on me and offer an early birthday present? No thanks.." his voice trailed off as he turned away from Willow with his pudgy friend following behind "and FYI I don't like you staring at my girlfriend." was the last thing Willow could hear as they walked off and her vision blurred. Reaching back Willow hissed and pulled her hand away from the back of her head frowning as droplets of blood marred her flesh, looking in front of her she stumbled out of the ally and collapsed as she heard Lily's gasp and cry before everything went black.

~Giggling as her big brother made a joke she turned back to say something to her friend Willow about the joke wondering why her friend had gotten quiet, frowning as she didn't see Willow and stopped walking grabbing Jack's wrist. "Where did Willow disappear to now?" she spoke loud enough watching her big brother look around frantically with her, running back the way they came while peering down each and every ally way looking for her. Hearing a shout that sounds like her friend Lily looked at Jack as tears welled up in her eyes, he cupped her cheek gently and spoke softly towards her "Don't worry, she's a big girl. Let's go see who is picking on her this time so I can whoop their asses, yeah?" Lily nodded in agreement as they ran around the corner and seen Michael and his friend David disappear into the Hot topic store, just before seeing Willow stumble out of the ally looking paler than normal. Lily gasped and cried running towards her friend grabbing Willow's arm and wrapped it around the back of her neck trying to lift Willow, looking towards her brother as he stared wide eyed recognizing his anger rising "Help me, her eyes are closed!" she screamed at her brother feeling tears running down her face. Watching Jack quickly move towards them Lily felt her own anger subside slowly as Jack cradled Willow to his chest, she turned and started towards the store pushing at the door entering the store. Glaring down Michael who was lost in his conversation with David to barely even notice what was happening Lily felt fire course through her veins as she steadily approached Alyssa who was trying on a skirt on. Aching pain wrecked chaos along her limbs feeling heat pour from her hands as she shoved Alyssa towards Michael and growled. Realizing everyone in the store was staring at her she looked towards the mirror and seen her hands had claws as well as fire covering her hands, her jaw elongated into a wolfish like grin Lily turned and grabbed Micheal by his neck pulling him away as he screamed for someone to call his mother. Reaching the door Michael screamed for someone to call his dad and Lily froze as a cold shiver of dread ran up her spine, her grip tightening on Michael's throat before feeling something like bubble wrap popping as well as hearing a crunching sound she looked to see Michael's eyes staring wide up at her bloodshot and fading. A shriek erupted while people started throwing things at Lily she released Michael and ran out the store running towards the woods at the outskirts of the village, feeling fear yet excitement fill her spirit as air froze her lungs.

~Jack Stared in bewilderment watching his sister slowly shift into something more as her own anger rises, he turned his gaze to look at Willow's pained slumbering face before commotion erupted in the store drawing his gaze back to see Lily break Michael's neck. Alyssa shrieks and David faints while other people in the store started throwing items at Lily watching her move towards the exit he knew what was about to happen. Holding Willow close to his chest he felt his own anger rise watching people poorly treat his sister while a calm fell over his mind feeling Willow nuzzle her face against his chest, the scent of Honey-Suckle and rain filled his senses giving him a boost of energy. Looking away from Willow he started running after a bipedal wolf with smooth raven black fur watching it drop to all fours once inside the tree line of the forest, hearing a weird cry as bones cracked and muscle moved before a blonde she wolf struggled to stand up. Slowly approaching Lily's she wolf Jack knelt down and used a voice that usually made humans weary and shy away from him, he commanded Lily's she wolf to look at him while using his mind-link with her "You are early in shift and revealing yourself in such a way has caused some troubles. What is your name, little she wolf?" Hearing the little wolf whine before he heard a response in his mind "I was protecting from harm, I care not for traditions. Any proud she wolf would shift in the moment of battle!" the she wolf shook her body as if shaking water from her fur before continuing "I am Alexis." Jack watched the little wolf sniff around before whining as she slowly shifted back into a terrified naked Lily, setting Willow down carefully he pulled his coat off himself and walked towards Lily wrapping her up "I have much to tell you and Alexis will need to learn some manners.." he spoke softly before looking into Lily's teary eyes. Turning back around he picked Willow up and started away from the foster house turning to look over his shoulder "I was going to wait until you both were 18 before I moved out so we could all leave together without much hassle but...the circumstances..." he heard Lily sniffle and cling to the back of his shirt while walking some more through the forest. At the foot of the hill where the house sat was a cave hidden behind thick foliage where Jack stopped and spoke to Lily "Up on my back, your feet are not properly covered to walk through here." once Lily was settled on his back he jumped up onto a boulder and slid down the moss with his boots as the three of them disappeared from sight.

~A few days later Willow blinked away the sleep that over took her and she sat up confused looking around a cave filled with herbs and meats, looking down towards her legs she realized she was on a cot made from ferns, hay and branches tied together by twine. Blinking some more she looked towards the cave entrance and seen sun filtering in as a lake sparkled in the distance, shifting her legs so they dangled over the cot's edge she went to stand and stumbled a little before feeling heat pressed against her bare shoulders. Looking down she seen her chest was wrapped a white linen wrapping clothe while her dark blue jeans wear replaced with a black piece of clothe tied into a make shift skirt, looking up to see Lily standing bare. "What happened and why am I dreaming your naked?" Willow asked while reaching up towards her face rubbing at her eyes while her friend giggled "You've got so much to learn...Jack and the others are waiting!" Lily shouted before grabbing one of Willow's hands away from her face pulling Willow towards the entrance of the cave. Finally realizing Lily had a  raven black wolfish tail swaying Willow looked up towards Lily's ears and seen they were pointed and a bit longer than she remembered. Hearing Jack's voice pulled Willow's gaze towards him and seen a few others that had pointed ears and tails like Lily though the color of their tails were widely different. Jack stood tall and walked towards Willow cupping her face for a moment before pulling her close to him in a hug, Willow groaned when he pulled away and walked towards the other people. Willow's gaze zero'ed in on his basketball shorts and his exposed body, rumbling softly before blinking as she watched a shaggy blond wolf tail sway behind Jack. "Come sit, we have much to discuss." she heard Jack call out to her as she started towards the small fire surrounded by stumps she mumbled to herself "Yeah...I think I'm dreaming." her gaze locked onto Jacks as his hand stretched out towards her "How long was I sleeping?"
