I stood there for a moment, staring at him. Was this guy mental? "Excuse me?" I said, my evil temper rearing it's ugly head. "I refuse to go anywhere with you, until you tell me WHAT I wasn't supposed to hear, and WHY you kidnapped me!"
Lupus flinched at the word kidnapped, before a serious look crossed his face. "Fine." He said. "Let me call the rest of the pack first." Behind us came the feint sound of laughter.
"Dude, you totally got yelled at by a girl" Seth said, an amused gleam in his face. Lupus rolled his eyes, and howled toward the sky.
He howled.
Like a wolf.
Oh, God, what had I gotten into? Some wolf cult claiming me as their own because of my love of wolves? Or some schizophrenic kidnappers?
Out of the shadows emerged several wolves, all about as tall as my waist. I jumped back, intrigued, as well as frightened out of my mind. "Are.. are those wolves? They're the biggest ones I've ever seen!" I said, peering closely at the one nearest me. There was something... human-like about it's eyes. No. I told myself sharply. Don't talk crazy like that.
"Yeah... sort of. Please forgive my siblings for their rude behavior." Lupus said, crouching down to hug one of the wolves. It placed it's paw around his shoulder, and appeared to... hug him.
"That's okay?" I wasn't quite sure to make of all this. There were about fifteen wolves in all, but there could be more lurking around here somewhere.
"Lupus!" A voice roared from behind us. Stepping out of a cave behind us was a guy, about Lupus's age, with long brown hair, dressed in a baggy robe. "What were you thinking? Bringing her here so young! It's unspeakable!" He spat in a disgusted voice, glaring at my kidnapper.
"Excuse me, mister? I'm sixteen. And if you were in on my kidnapping, I want to know WHY." Crap. that temper was going to get me into a world of trouble if I didn't shut my face, but I couldn't seem to stop myself. "That one-" I pointed at Seth, who was shaking so hard from trying not to laugh. "Knocked me out, and dragged me here! And Lupus helped! I WANT TO KNOW WHY!!!"
"Shut up you foolish girl. I will deal with Lupus and Seth when it suits me. Until then, you best not talk to me about things you don't understand." I sat there, staring at him like an idiot. No one EVER spoke to me like that!
"I-"
"Mysty, SHUT UP. That, my dear, is the Alpha, and he has every right to tell you off." Lupus sat down, indicating that I do the same. The 'alpha' remained standing.
"So you ask me what you're doing here? I would like to know the same thing. Maybe Lupus here will be so kind to as explain?" The Alpha too sat down, giving Lupus the chance to stand and speak.
"Since our brothers and sisters in the East informed us of Mysty's coming, I have been chosen as her mentor. However, since I have started observing her, she has been getting into trouble at an alarming rate. I was afraid Mysty might end up in Juvenile Hall, and would never have the chance to discover who she was. Or worse, she might have discovered them alone in her cell and gone insane." Lupus sat down, suddenly looking years older, now that his vibrant smile was gone.
"What of her parents?"
"They won't come looking for her." He said, looking away from me. "I faked her death."
He did what?
"At least you did that much right."
"What? So you've been stalking me, you kidnapped me, and now I found out you faked my death?" I said, about ready to kill Lupus. What kind of freaks were these people?
"Yes." He said, sighing.
"Mysty, would you like to know why Lupus did those things?" The Alpha asked, a gentle tone coming into his voice.
"Yes. I do."
I was starting to get pissed.
"You're a shape shifter." He said bluntly, sitting down as soon as he had stood up. "And Lupus is your selected mentor."
"What? You expect me to believe this crap?" I yelled, jumping to my feet. They were insane! Crazy! Screwed up in the head!
"Yes actually, we do." Lupus put a reassuring hand on my shoulder, a pathetic attempt to calm me down. I brushed his hand off, a shudder going through me as if it were a cockroach, not a hand, that I had removed from my shoulder.
"Yeah. Right." I turned to face him, and the assembled wolves, a look of utter shock on my face. "So I'm supposed to be a shape shifter? And you all are too?"
"Yep, that pretty much covers it." Seth said, walking in front of me.
Swinging behind him, was a long... white... tail.
