I watched as we were driving away to go park 52

*“It’s too early for her to shift.” “I know, but I think she is.” “On my way.”* I close the link and just watch. Nana gets there
at the very end of Kes’s shift.
LILLY: That was crazy. I get up and I get Stephen up, “we need to go to the pack house Mackie thinks Keska is shifting.” I
tell him. We both get dressed and head to the pack house. Mackie was right Keska shifted, but what I saw in front of me was no ordinary wolf. She had a shimmery watery outline to her, kind of like the heat waves coming off a hot highway in
the middle of summer, and she was a red wolf. “What is she?” Mackie asked, “I have never seen any wolf like that before.”
“I am not 100% sure but my instincts are telling me she is an elemental phase wolf.” “A what?” “Mackie, Sshh, do not
startle her, her bite could be deadly.” I say.
KESKA/CORLA: I hear them talking about me. I turn to look at them, and make my way over to them. *(“IS WHAT NANA
SAID TRUE”) (“YES.”) (“YOU DON’T PLAN ON BITING THEM I HOPE!”) (“CALM DOWN, NANA IS IMUNE AND IF I ONLY NIP MACKIE SHE WILL GET SICK BUT THEN SHE WILL BE IMUNE.”)* We brush up against Nana and then Mackie, and
Stephen. *(“WE ARE GOING FOR A RUN; WE HAVE BEEN COUPED UP TO LONG.”)* We link the both of them together, meaning that in both ways, both Corla and I are speaking through the link to both of them. Then we turn and take off. I
let her take the lead on where she wanted to go. We headed to the Western border. Then all of a sudden I get this
strange sensation wash over me, and the next thing I know, we are stalking Brent Charter, Corla leaps and bites him in the
butt. He doesn’t have time to cry out, he just freezes like a statue made of Ice. *(“CORLA WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?”)
(“HE HURT US.”)* is all I get from her. Then the strange sensation comes again, and I see we are stalking Ronnie
Briginhall. Again, she leaps and bites him in the back of the leg, and again he doesn’t have time to cry out and he is left
as a pile of ash. *(“LET ME GUESS, HE HURT US TOO?”) (“YES.”) (“BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS THEM?”) (“I
SMELLED THEM, I REMEMBERED.”) (“GREAT BUT HOW AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO FATHER?”) (“NOT GOING TO
EXPLAIN, DON’T CARE.”)* I shake my head at her.

MACKIE: My best friend just shifted into a wolf I have never seen before. “What is she Nana?” “Like I said I am not 100%
sure, but I believe that she is an elemental phase wolf.” “What dose that even mean?” “She has the ability to control an
element like water, or fire.” “Can she make it, I mean like call it forth, like in the stories of witches?” “No, she can’t conjure
the element she controls the element. She may nip you Mackie, don’t worry a nip won’t kill you, it will however make you
sick, but when you recover you will be immune to her bite.” Nana tells me. “She was soft, I have never felt a wolf that
soft, I can’t even describe anything to compare her to, she is so soft.” “Yes she is.” “Ok, so say she is this elemental phase wolf, how is she that?” “My mate was a phase elemental, he was able to actually turn himself into the element, not just
control it.” “Will she heal? Like all wolves do?” “Yes dear, she probably doesn’t have to worry about taking it easy now.”
“What about the color of her wolf, I have never seen a red wolf before, is it part of being this elemental phase thing?” “It may, I don’t know for sure, we will just have to wait and see.” Nana tells me. “Do we need to keep her a secret?” “I think we should for now anyway. Go get her a robe to put on when she gets back and shifts back, she will be naked.”
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
KESKA: *(“IT’S TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE PACK HOUSE CORLA, BEFORE WE END UP SHIFTING BACK AND I HAVE TO WALK BACK NAKED.”) (“OK.”)* She turns and heads back east towards home. We get back and she just drops to the
ground, and I feel this push and then I am me again. We get back and she just drops to the ground, and I feel this push
and then I am me again, there was no pain, just a push feeling. I don’t understand half of what just happened to me, and
I know that most of it isn’t normal. Mackie, Nana and Stephen are still here waiting for me. Mackie has one of my robes
for me too. *“Nana, Corla just killed two wolves.”* I linked to her. *“Did she tell you why?” “Just that they hurt us, and yes
she said us, not me, us.” “Dear I believe that you are a very unique hybrid, Corla is more than just the beast that most of
us have, she is the elements of your body, your heart, pumps blood and keeps you warm she is the heat, the water that
runs through our body to keep our muscles moist and pliable, she is that water, so she is more than just the wolf.”* That
is a lot to take in, and I am exhausted I just want my bed. “Bed” is all I can get out. “Stephen please help get her up to
her room, Mackie will show you where to go, I will wait here for you.” Nana says.
DRAKE: I feel this harsh pain in my chest and shoulders, it wakes me from a deep sleep. (“We just lost two pack
members”) Helios tells me. (“Was it rouges”) I ask him. (“I did not feel a perimeter breach.”) he tells me. I link the guard
on duty. “I want a full roll call of every guard on patrol, and the Schule and route each patrol was on, when they come in,
and any statements of events that went on during their patrol and I want it on my desk in the morning.” “Yes Alpha.” I
close the link and go back to sleep. I will deal with it in the morning.
KESKA: Wednesday, my birthday, I’m 16 today yeah! Except my wolf killed two others last night, well technically this morning I look at the clock it was 9:30 already, I never sleep this late. But I guess with it being my birthday and with the
shifting and all, they let me sleep, not that anyone besides Mackie, Nana, and Stephen know about the shifting. I link
Mackie “Hey, you here?” “Yeah, downstairs in the kitchen” “I’ll be down in 10 minutes.” I close the link. Go to my on suite
take a quick shower, towel off and get dressed in jean shorts and a light green crop top with my cross trainers and head
downstairs. “Morning Sarah, morning Mackie.” I say as I enter the kitchen “Morning lazy head.” Sarah says back. As she
puts a plate down in front of me with the egg cakes, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs on it. I am famished, I didn’t
realize that shifting would take that much energy. “Hey, Nana said we need to keep you a secret for now.” Mackie linked me. “Ok.” I send back. “I feel good this morning maybe I could try some target practice.” I state out loud. “Not until you
get checked out by Dr. Grant, He will be by before lunch.” Mom says as she comes into the kitchen.
