I turned to see Maurina's head and shoulders poking out of the water. A set gills had formed on either side of her neck. Patches of scale formed on her shoulders and face. The water was clear enough to see that her hands had grown webbing between the fingers. I felt a small amount of heat rush to my face at the sight of her. Sure scale were strategically placed to cover certain portions of her, but they left zero to the imagination. I averted my eyes slightly. "Very interesting. Aren't you cold in there?"

"Not at all! This form keeps me warm. My heart rate slows and I don't need to use as much energy," I laughed, oblivious to his blushing. I dove back down and caught a very plump trout. I bit into it, killing it with the venom from my teeth. I threw the fish at Jacobs feet. "I brought a bag. It's in my cloak pocket. Can you put the catches in there?"
Before he could answer, I dove back under. I felt so free and at home! I could finally let myself work through the emotions of the past year.

(I'm so done with this laptop. I tried to post, them sat for 20 minutes waiting for you to post back. turns out it never posted -_-)

I pulled out the bag, before picking up the fish. Inspecting it I found two rows of ragged puncture wounds along the sides. Apparently her teeth had changed as well. The holes looked like something you might find in a shark bite. I placed it in the bag, being careful to stay as far as possible from the lake. For some reason, when I got my powers I also gained a strong aversion to bodies of water. Rain was fine, but anything bigger than a large puddle made me nauseas and panicky. Bob stared hungrily at the bag. I laughed, "You must be hungry! I'll ask Maurina to grab an extra one for you." I could have sworn that he grinned at that, but it must have been my imagination.

My old laptop was like that! Oh! It'd make me so mad! But my parents got me a purple laptop for my birthday/Christmas! It works so nicely! <3 )

Soon, I had plenty of trout to at least last Brutis, our guest, and myself a few days. Surfacing, I walked back on shore. My long hair kept my gills wet so I had plenty of time to store my kill in the bag before wrapping myself in a towel and piling the blankets and cloak back on. I wiped down my feet and pushed them inside my boots before they could freeze. A smug looking Brutis walked over to me, a nicely sized deer dragging from his mouth. He placed it at my feet and looked at me expectantly. I laughed, then ruffled his head. "Good boy! You're so smart!"

I again looked away as she dressed herself. Her wolf approached, dragging a deer carcess."I could clean that for you." I said, gesturing to the deer. She had probably done this before, but I try to be as gentlemanly as possible around ladies.

"If you'll take care of the deer, I've got the fish. I need to get the venom out anyway. I don't know if it carries over and is poisonous to people who consume it, but I'd rather not take the risk," I replied, taking out the first fish and gutting it. I aim for the head when I kill, ensuring a quick death for the creature and saving as much of the fish from the venom as possible.

"Ok." I said, walking over to Brutis. He seemed rather reluctant to give it up, but a word from Maurina made him release it. I dragged the carcess to a nearby tree, hanging it with some rope I had. As I cut it, I couldn't help thinking about the days before everything went south. Honestly, in some ways, the apocalypse was a blessing. My life had not been pleasant. I tossed an organ, I think it was a kidney, over to Bob, who munched on it happily. When I was finished, I went to Maurina. "What should I do with it now? Do you have a place to store it?"

"I'll make jerky out of most of it. For now, can you take it into the house? Hang it in over the catwalk on the third floor. That'll keep it up and away from anything. Brutis will clean up anything that falls down into the basement," I told Jacob, packing the last filet of fish into the bag. I cleaned off my fans on a clean rag I brought for that purpose. Tying the bag around my waist, I headed back to the house. I need my hands free in case anything got the idea the fish I had would make a nice snack, along with me.

I walked back to the cleaned deer carcass, pulling my knife back out. I cut it down, carrying it across my shoulders. Hmm. I wonder if I could make it all the back inside from here in one teleport? I had never tried one over that kind of distance, and I wasn't sure what the reprucusions might be. Oh well. I'll never know if I don't try. I concentrated on the building. I imagined opening the front door, avoiding the hole, and climbing the stairs. I imagined walking to the middle of the landing on the third floor. I felt a sharp tug at the base of my neck, much more violent than normal. When I "landed" the boards under me cracked slightly. I dropped the deer on the ground with a cry of pain and clutched at my face, which felt like it was on fire. I fell to my knees. The skin on my back felt like it was writhing, like something was trying to rip out of it. I fell sideways, as the world faded to black.

I climbed back up the wall of the house and climbed into the window. Brutis had already returned to the house and was whining at me by the time I had crawled inside. "Bru? What's wrong?"
He ran off then came back, looking to where he had run. Sighing, I place the bag on the floor and followed him. He lead me up the stairs to the third level.
"Bru, you know you can't have the deer. And Jacob hasn't done anything bad, so he can stay for now." I told the wolf, turning to go back. Brutis grabbed the end of my cloak and tugged, forcing me to follow or end up nude! "Bru! Stop this!"
He didn't, leading me to the catwalk.
"Jacob!" I dashed to his side, cradling his head in my lap. I slapped his cheeks slightly, trying to rouse him. He moaned but didn't wake. "Bru! Help me carry him."
Brutis bent down, allowing me to heave Jacob onto the wolfs large back. We carried him to the main living room on the third floor where we had been staying. I carefully moved Jacob to the couch. His face looked pretty scratched up. "Brutis, scout!"
Brutis ran off, searching the house. He returned just as I finished getting my med kit. He barked once, letting me know we were alone. I got to work slowly washing Jacobs face, making sure to disinfect it before I moved on to check the rest of him. I blushed beet red as I removed his jacket and shirt. His abdomen was very toned. I tried to avert my eyes. He didn't need me checking him out while he lay there. I tilted him up and inspected his back. It was worse then his face! I set to work, cleaning the wounds and applying bandages. I set him back down. Looking at his legs, I figured they had to be fine. I did NOT want to take his pants off. If he didn't wake up soon...well, I'd cross that bridge when I got there. I covered him in blankets and tended to the fire. Then I went to get dressed.

My dreams were full of turmoil. I was in a dark woods. Adrenalin coursed through me. I was running from something. No, I was chasing someone. I was filled with excitement at the thought of catching whoever it was. Then I was in an old abandond building. I watched as two men, one wearing a mask and the other a long hood, argued over another man, who was tied to a chair. I recognized the men as characters from an old Youtube series I had watched. Tim and Brian, I think their names were. They continued to argue, until Brian turned and saw me. He swore loudly, then bolted, Tim not far behind. I moved over to the trapped man. I reached out a pale white hand as he screamed. I jerked awake, gasping. I lay on my stomach on a couch, my head hanging over the edge. It was only a dream. My back was exposed to the cool air. I reached up touching my face. The action brought a stinging pain. I thought about my dreams. I knew now whose eyes, or rather lack there of, I had been seeing out of, but why? Why had I dreamed of that old Internet myth? I sighed. It was probably nothing. Any movement brought a sharp pain to my back. I suddenly realized that I was not alone in the room. Maurina sat in a chair in the corner, with Brutis at her feet.

With a jerk, I woke up. I looked over to Jacob, who looked back at me.
"I'm sorry, I must have dozed off. How are you feeling?" I asked him worriedly. I gently forced him back down. "You shouldn't get up. You'll rip the scabs back open. I only got them to stop like, an hour ago. Hungry? I made some soup."
I went over to the fire and got a bowl of soup.

"Sure, I'd love some." I was starving. If my back had scabbed up, then it should be safe to lie on it. Despite her warnings, I carfully maneuvered myself so that I lay on my back, with my head proped against the arm of the couch. It stung a bit at first, but was fine after a few seconds. "So what happened?" I asked. I remembered trying to teleport, but everything was hazy after that.

I rolled my eyes. He was stubborn, but I could be too. I held out a bowl to him. "I'm not sure. You teleported and I walked back. When I got in, Bru lead me to you. You were on the catwalk with the deer. Brutis and I took you back here and I cleaned your wounds."
I scooped myself a bowl and dug in.

I took the bowl gratefully, drinking half of it in one go. "Yeah, that's the last time I try to teleport that far." I ate more slowly, trying not to spill from my akward position. When I was finished, I placed the bowl on the floor next to the couch. "I'm a fast healer, so I should be fine by tomorrow. At least fine enough to walk around and help with things." I glanced at the window. "Has there been any Ex activity? Sometimes the presence of one Ex will draw more in. I want to make sure that Bob isn't going to cause problems" I sighed. "Though I don't know what I would do with him if he did. I can't kill him, and he won't stop following me."

"You've got a new pet," I laughed, shaking my head. "No, everything was quiet. Brutis keeps a lot of them away."
Brutis puffed up and sauntered over to me. I laughed and scratched his ears, "Yes you!"
I looked back at Jacob, "Sounds good. I'd love some help getting this place back in order."
I moved over to my bed couch and curled up under the covers, looking over at Jacob.

"I don't know if I would call him a pet. More like a prisoner, whose to dumb to know he's a prisoner." I yawned. "Anyway, I'm going back to sleep. Goodnight." I closed my eyes, but my mind just wouldn't shut down. I sat for a while in the dark, wondering what the future would hold. Eventually I nodded of to sleep.

"Alright, goodnight," I yawned. Brutis curled up on my feet and fell asleep, snoring softly. Listening to his breathing, I fell asleep as well. My dreams were peaceful. I hadn't had a restful nights sleep in over a year. It felt wonderful.

I slept peacefully for a long time, lost in an inky blackness. Then I heard it. It started as a low buzz, then grew until it was a high pitched drone of static. It filled my mind, forcing images into it. I could see the black outline of a man wearing glasses, staring at me. He didn't speak, but words appeared on the white background behind him. 'Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?' They said. I couldn't answer, even if I had wanted to. 'If you get this message, we need your help! We're pinned down and we won't survive long! Remember these coordinates! 40.7217 N, 74.0059 W. Look for this symbol.' A large circle with an x through it appeared. 'We'll try to hold out, but please hurry!' I jerked awake, falling off the couch in the process.

A loud bang forced me awake. I had my fans out and was standing ready to attack right before I realized it was Jacob on the floor. "Jacob? Are you alright? What happened?"
I sent Brutis out to scout the house just in case something was there. Then I helped Jacob back onto the couch.
