My feet were speeding off through the woods, the wind went past as clouds would brush past the skies on an extrely windy day. Suzan was running casually even though her speed was very tough to keep up with, looking at her made want to let go of all the restrictions and test all my limits!
I picked up the pace barely catching up to her. How much I can push myself was a surprise to right now! My legs had already caught up to Suzan and it felt as if there was still more to myself, the fastest I could go was still not reached.
"This is so much fun!" I telecommunicated embracing the fast-moving environnt as the details of it were getting lost to my eyes.
Suzan pushed herself as well looking at go slightly ahead of her, "I know right! Without the Alpha or Beta leading us, we could go as fast as we can!" Her howl filled the air and I wondered how she could do that even at this velocity.
"You are pretty fast!" exclaid Suzan, "wanna race to the village?" She was totally competitive right now, so was I.
"Just what I wanted. Let's race!", I replied and picked up my pace, moving my legs faster, defocusing from her.
Suzan was a good match, she would run ahead most of the tis but I was trying my hardest to always surpass her.
The village lights were clearly seen now and there was no way I was slowing down, I was rather speeding up with my body held parallel to the ground and my feet had forgotten the sensation of the ground.
"LOOK OUT SELENE!"
I heard Suzan's voice in my head and before I knew it or could stop myself, a branch hit my chest, and my montum sent tumbling down the muddy path. My entire body struggled to stop as it went tossing in the air hitting overgrown roots and bumps of the uneven terrain.
I rolled down a slight slope and finally stopped after hitting a tree trunk.
My body winced in pain as I quivered, failing to get up, Suzan imdiately rushed to my side, "Oh my god! Are you fine Selene?... I-I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked you to race!"
Struggling I stood up on all fours but crashed down again as a sharp pain in my chest raced through my torso. Suzan helped up by putting her head under , I groaned trying to handle the pain.
"Sorry, can you stand up? Is it serious? I'll carry you on my back, turn back into a human. I'll be careful carrying you I promise!" Suzan said apologetically, she was very concerned at the mont but I would heal faster if I stayed in my werewolf form.
I got up trying to straighten myself, the injuries were healing faster thanks to my alpha blood but not as fast to give relief. "Thank you, Suzan, But I will be fine. Can we just walk back?", I asked.
"Are you sure you'll be able to walk? Selene let carry you", telecommunicated Suzan still troubled about the way my face looked pain-ridden.
I had open wounds on both my forelegs as I had skidded across the ground, they were not a problem as such wounds easily heal in a few minutes for werewolves, I was an Alpha on top of that. The problem was my chest, I had probably cracked my rib cage in a place or two, the fracture would take hours to heal.
"I'm fine Suzan, I'll just limp a little. And my house is right here at the left", I said pointing towards my spare rundown house visible from where we stood. My chest was sending pangs of pain every ti I put my leg ahead.
I limped and Suzan supported , "Thanks Suzan.", I added yet again in a helpless tone.
"You are very stubborn Selene!", She stated "Let at least support you till we reach your house."
I laughed a little in my head, "Fine, you can take to my house."
"Thank you", she replied as I have done so favour for her. Every once in a while I would whimper because of my injuries and Suzan would wait for to feel better.
the mont we reached, Suzan exclaid looking at my rundown house, "Is this even inhabitable!?"
"Absolutely! wait till you see my room" I replied sarcastically. The condo that I had rented was still miles from here so I had no choice but to co here.
"The door is broken, vines are growing everywhere, the upper floor doesn't even exist and there is barely any footing to the stairs! SELENE, You are coming to my house no questions asked!", She talked like a mom ready to carry back to the village.
"Suzan! I don't have the strength. My room is at the far end, if you'll wait here for a bit I'll change and call you in." I spoke in a rather awkward way.
She understood how tough it would get for to travel further towards the village, so she dropped her stubbornness, "You are not going to listen to anyway! Go ahead, I'll wait outside"
"Thank you!", I replied and started climbing the broken stairs. Normally, when I co here the stairs don't bother . This area is so much hidden from the village that even if I shift back to the human outside, no one would see . But now it was different. I should repair these stairs first!
Suzan helped up and I walked to my bedroom. my injuries were hurting less but I couldn't make them disappear suddenly as usual or goddess Luna knows what theories would Suzan co up with.
I imdiately took the painkillers and wore a long cotton dress, Suzan was rather cooperative and that is why I felt comfortable.
My chest was still killing but all the external injuries were now healed. Suzan wouldn't doubt it as even she can heal faster on those injuries, not as fast as but I bet she won't even notice because of my other pain sources.
I called her in and gave her a change of clothes before lying on the bed. The pain killers were doing their job instantly.
"You have to learn to take so help from others" Suzan was pretty irritated, probably because I turned down nearly every offer of help.
She was angry at but in a worrying sense, and it was showing on her face.
I simply giggled at her words and even that made the pain in my chest evident, the painkillers will surely make fall asleep in so ti but till then I had to bear a little.
Suzan ca around and sat beside , "Selene should I make sothing for you? or do you need anything?"
"No dear, I just took painkillers will be fine in no ti"
She rolled her eyes finally ready to scold for my carelessness, "You should have been careful, it is my special ability and that is why I can go that fast without any problem!"
I raised my eyebrows, I thought she was simply fast.
We werewolves are gifted with special abilities at birth and it is what makes us different from each other. Mine was sothing I didn't want to reveal to anyone but my curiosity in knowing other's abilities was slowly touching skies since I ca out of the castle.
"How can it be different for you Suzan, you can simply speed up like a booster", I said knowing very well that she will now explain everything.
Everyone was open about their abilities but since I wasn't, my mind instinctively assud people won't tell if asked directly.
But Suzan reacted as expected, "What do you an? There is a huge difference, not so booster in my legs"
I chuckled, closing my eyes as the drowsiness was setting in.
"Listen here," Suzan grabbed my attention, "Other wolves speed up like you did today. For , the more I speed up, the better I can register my surrounding in my head"
My eyebrows furrowed, "Like it enhances your senses?"
"No!" She corrected, "when I speed up, the winds don't go faster or the woods barely visible to my eyes. I can see everything as clearly as if I am taking a leisure stroll in the forest!"
Wow! That was like everything slowed down just for her. For anyone else, it would be what I faced, not even being able to see what was ahead after so ti.
"That is a nice ability you got there", I remarked.
"I know, thanks", she did a little hair flick and it made quickly smile.
I closed my eyes now that I was getting very sleepy, when I woke up I would be properly healed so there was nothing else to worry about for .
Just when I drifted into sleep I heard Suzan's voice, "Selene, can I get your cell phone? I should call soone and tell them we are here, or at least let Channing know."
My eyes shot wide open, my cell phone! I didn't bring it back and I surely dropped it where I turned. Shit! How irresponsible of .
That little stupid box of technology had all the royal contacts, not to ntion the King might text or call . It was my only way to contact the castle right now, I couldn't send a letter as they would never entertain a commoner's note. And if I wrote as a princess then my promise is broken!
This is bad, This is very bad!
