| The memory of the nightmare was still fresh in my mind. It was full of blood, pain and tears. He pulled me closer as I started to shake from holding in the tears. �T�ll be all right, t�ll be all right,� he kept repeating softly. He gently rocked back and forward as I let the tears come, and it was a soothing motion. I composed myself and pulled away from him. �I�ll be fine, now. Thank you,� I finished awkwardly. He gave me a sleepy smile and started to get up. I grabbed his arm, and he turned back around to me. He looked at me expectantly. �What did you dream of?� I asked him. He grinned and replied, �J�ai r�v� de tois.� Then he left. I repeated what he said softly as he laid back down on the couch, �What�s that mean?� I felt him look at me. �Remy�ll tell y�later, p�tite.� �M�kay,� I replied as sleep overcame me again. In the morning, after breakfast in bed, Remy took me to meet the man he had talked to yesterday. I graciously greeted him. He wasn�t so gracious. He narrowed his eyes at me, �You threatened a member of this Guild. You know you can lose your life for doing that?� I nastily grinned, �That�s all I have to lose. And I think that you�d find me hard to get rid of. I don�t die easily.� He looked at me, as if in a new light, �You�re a mutant.� I nodded, �How did you guess?� He sighed, �Trust Remy to bring home a mutant. What kind are you? What can you do?� I raised an eyebrow, �I should tell you because?� �If you don�t, I will have Remy kill you.� I sighed, and knew that I had lost, �I have a healing factor. And I have a syndrome that�s called �lycanthropic syndrome�. I�m part wolf. I can change into a wolf, but it takes over half of an hour. I can change my canines and claw in seconds. I also suffer from heightened senses. Taste, sight, scent, hearing. Everything except for touch.� He nodded, �Good. We can use someone like you.� He turned to Remy, �She can stay.� Remy grinned triumphantly, as if he knew that he would win, �How �bout we fin� ya a room, chere?� I grinned back at him, �Sounds like a plan.� We quickly found me a room. It was beautiful and done in dark colors. It had dark green wallpaper and a huge cherry canopy bed in the center of the room. There was a balcony that looked out over the marsh. I looked around and I quickly spotted a couple of deer, a crocodile and a blue heron. I grinned at the sight of the wildlife, then swatted at the mosquitoes that tried to land on me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Remy standing behind me. He was going to say something when a young Native American woman knocked lightly on the doorjamb. �Oui?� Remy asker her. �Merceoux needs you. You�re to go on a raid.� She finished shortly. He sighed and started to walk out the door. As he shut the door, he said, �Je t�aime.� I sat down on the bed, all of a sudden very confused. I got up with a sigh and checked out my new room. There was a bathroom done in pewter that was connected to the room. I saw another two doors going out of it and concluded that it was a shared bathroom. My thoughts were confirmed when the door opened and a younger woman walked into the bathroom. She looked at me and smiled, �Bonjour. My name�s Melody. You are?� I looked her over. �My name�s Morrigan.� � Good. You�re the one I�m supposed to take to get new clothes. Are you ready?� She asked me while braiding her hair. |
