There she goes, bouncing a little in her spot and dancing her arms while her fists are raised up, defending her face. The two others surrounding her path charged at her, and thrusted their heavy bodies into her feeble one. Balled up hands pounded her frame, her worthless limbs making no marks to them. She was so pale that her dark blood looked like ink splattering delicate paper, the messy scripture from her body spilled out her plush mouth, the pain blooming around her figure, ripping out the back of her throat. She threw her head back into the concrete, a stabbing pain meeting her hip. The girl yelled out furiously, strings of saliva breaking between her teeth, and squirmed, eyes screwing shut. She was thin, not much taller than them, but lanky and debilitated. The girl kicked and flailed, scared and angry, angry that she couldn’t do it. She couldn’t defeat these opposers and protect the one she loved the most.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzH0KvoG8I
She crossed her arms over her beaten face, letting them take the damage instead. But she was surrounded, they pulled on her colorless hair, bruised her white skin, and barked at her like dogs. They ruined her frail body which made her furious and exceptionally frustrated. These people had nothing to do with her, but here she was, getting battered and thrashed around like an unneeded piece of furniture. Her fragile twin squealed as two of the men grabbed her, and this caused a coursing hot rage to burn through her. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Z7mvKExx
The achromatic girl roared as a ripping sting shot up her spine. She could feel her anger bubble up inside like a hot furnace, causing an enthusiastic communication to spread throughout her body. Her body shivered at the adrenaline and shouted again as the pain expanded along her entire frame, going deep into her bones and spanned along her skin and muscles. She felt them mesh and twist and turn as necessary. Her skin stretched with her extensive growth and her muscles gradually became stronger in certain areas and swelled. Which causes her enlarging waist and breasts to rip her shirt, along with her thighs tearing her shorts and underwear open.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5v6MkuwW8
Her face elongated as pain-filled tears streamed down her delicate face. Her pores made room for thick hair to grow along her entire body and her organs adjusted and adapted to the new body. The pounding suddenly stopped as her hands and feet were also modified to the new body to complete her unearthly form. She was much, much larger than a wolf, but had the appearance of one. The girl gave a deep, prolonged cry and grabbed one of them over her sister by the waist in her unbreakable jaw. She crushed the man under her strength and threw him away. The other man backed off and awed at her white body. The werewolf nuzzled her sister with her big head and licked a bruise. The apology was quickly accepted and the twin gripped her sister’s fur in a hurtful cry.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP6m2pBEF9
“Nia!” She whimpers and wraps her white arms around the wolf’s big neck. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45j8kajgrS
Her fur is soft and comforting, even as her expressionless face is dripping with blood from her muzzle. She growls hostilely at the dumbstruck men, which snaps them back to reality and they dart. Nia looks at her scattered, ripped clothing and decides to stay in this form for the time being until they return home. She lowers her body so her twin can crawl onto her back, who was carrying the three bags of groceries. Nia begins walking leisurely because of a sprained wrist and turns her head to take the grocery bags into her mouth as her twin began lulling off to sleep.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy2v8ndu5R
Mia wasn’t one to fight, she’s very kind-hearted and delicate. She has a soft, young frame even at the age of sixteen, with a small, almost unnoticeable chest size and gentle curves. Her long, black hair is silky and parts to the left and her eyes are a dark crimson color with a shy shape that’s almost innocent. Nia was quite the opposite with white hair that parts to the right and an older, more mature frame. Her eyes are a soul piercing cerulean, sharp and keen and dead cold. Although, they’re around the same height and have similar interests despite their different approaches and reactions to them. Nia had a white coat when she morphed into her alternate, lupus body, and Mia had a black coat.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6bMrhxxzg
Mia was a very precious and emotional animal. She grips her twins white, fluffy fur and whimpers into her neck. Nia gives a low whine like a sad puppy and helps her off once they reach the small, five-room cabin. Mia slides off and runs inside to get her a change of clothes. Nia’s head almost reaches the roof and she can't fit through the doorway so he sits and waits. Her father and mother run out and hug her worriedly. They're afraid of her returning to her human form, because they don't want to see how beaten up she looks.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWs5RC6U7T
Once Nia is in some clothes and has turned back to her normal form, their mother tends to Mia while their father helps Nia. He sighs sadly, gazing at the bruises, cuts, and dried blood. It was almost by instinct, almost, when he pulled Nia over on the couch, pressing his body into her shoulder, gently take her head into his chest, and grab her nose, cracking it in place. He hears her suck air in between her teeth and groan. After cleaning some cuts and disinfecting them, band-aids are placed over the injuries. When it comes to her bluish-purple knuckles, he cleans the dried blood off of them and wraps her sprained wrist. He thinks that he does this too often with her and becomes a bit depressed.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceiTsDFS0W
Mia sits very close next to her, thigh against thigh and shoulder against shoulder. It's late in the evening and the four of them are just starting to eat dinner. Wolves like the four of them only need to eat raw meat and vegetables, and they need to eat a lot. A large hog is placed on the dinner table and Mia, Nia and their father marvel at it, before looking at their mother with thankfulness. They don't normally get large meals like this, so they dig in enthusiastically and joyously. Their stomachs sing with the amount that they receive.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1pBWtAoS
Their mother, Flora, kisses their heads and smiles, “Happy birthday, girls.” She wipes her eyes and sobs a bit with a proud smile. Their father gently touches Mia’s arm and rubs it affectionately. Nia takes her mother's hand in hers and smiles. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0aw2ubdQT
“I'm sorry we couldn't do a sweet sixteen for you both.” their father, James, says apologetically. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iuegzWQ1O
Mia gasps and takes her father's hand, “Please, Papa, this is more than enough! Thank you…” she whispers the last words as he kisses her forehead.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1v9skOoql
Nia smiles at James, “You didn't have to do something like this for us…”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ILVvkEVz7
Flora wipes the corner of Nia’s mouth, “We wanted to do this for you girls, because you reached a big point in your lives.” She pulls a piece of Nia’s hair behind the girl's ear and smiles sadly, “Growing too fast…” she murmurs.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzT7UzYWwA
It was subtle but some quiet mumblings came into the family's peripheral hearing once the house fell quiet. Nia and James looked out the window but James was the one who walked over to it and pulled the curtain back a bit. There was some men and women gathering outside their house. They looked rough, dirty, and ruthless. He narrowed his eyes at them and breathed lightly as if he was hiding. He walked out the door, and it creaked a bit behind him. Their father was muscular, but not to much, and very intimidating. He messed with his black hair as he approached the group.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuZ36iuZl5
“Good evening,” he begins and placed his hands on his hips, “Can I help you?”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD5odYBp4N
None of them were much taller than him, but looked much less innocent and harmless.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6OCIjjMkv
“This isn't your land.” The man in front of him says.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiXxGzBrwi
“I'm sorry?” he sighs, “We aren't standing on your territory. This part of the forest is still Greyson.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQr13KTKKu
“You're too close.” He retorts, “Move.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmt7Q9fVP
“We can't,” James says and crosses his arms, “We don't have the money for that.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67GtN2pmqG
“That doesn't matter,” the man says back and gets uncomfortably close, “Or would you rather go back to the Cage?”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG6XGsmuO8
This triggered something for the father and husband, he swallowed thickly and his jaw sets, “We. Can't. Move.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4iEfBdkW
A woman comes around him with a rusted flamethrower in her hand, her Hispanic accent is thick, “You wanna say that again, pretty boy?”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJiKnhnRCz
It's silent. They're all looking at him and he's staring at the man who was originally talking to him. All that can be heard is hot blood rushing and hearts rapidly beating. James darts his eyes around among the sea of werewolves in front of him. It's when Nia rushes out that breaks the awaiting silence. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEf4yCkS4T
“Papa…!” She stops right behind him, soaking up the hostile atmosphere. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigU0cDtNkG
He backs up until he's pressed against her protectively. The group in front of him are still; everything is still. Even the wind stops and the trees stay silent. James moves like a nervous dog. His muscles are tense and he feels dizzy with an upset stomach. James bites his lip, eyes dancing in every corner. It soon became too much; his heart started pacing rapidly. His breathing and heart rate began to speed up faster and fill his ears with a white noise. He found himself breathing lightly again and a cold sweat had broken out between his shoulder blades. He was nervous, alright, being reminded of the Cage like this.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOSTvDXIyu
He didn't like fighting, he thought it was wrong, unless it was absolutely necessary. Nia jumped behind him as the man began speaking once again.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqqCDohVea
“This can go the easy way,” he folded his arms, “or the hard way.” He looks down at the woman with the flamethrower.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZRZIdP6Rm
James gave an exasperated look, “That is not a right you have on Greyson territory! You can't just burn our house down like that! I… we have two daughters that can't survive on their own yet. They aren't 18, they haven't…” he trails off, realizing that these people can't be rationed with.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGiOxOVgr
The man had cracked his knuckles and the rest of the group got ready for attack. James turns to Nia quickly, “Get your sister and leave. Pack whatever you can and run as far away as poss-” he stopped and his chest jerked forward as a shot rang in Nia’s hypersensitive ears. His grip on the girl’s shoulders tightened, and he whispered, “Go.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV1qvvEZW4
He fell to his knees, bringing Nia down with him. Tears poured down his high cheekbones and a thin trickle of blood dribbled down the corner of his mouth and dripped off his chin. Nia cried out with wide eyes and whispered, “No, no, no, no… Papa-”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3c3u9avpQ
He smiled, showing his teeth and spoke to her one last time, “I love you so much, Nia. I love you. Tell… tell Mia I love her too. I love you both so much…” his body swayed and his grip on Nia loosened.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NGe5la3k5
His body fell sideways just as fast as his eyes fell dead and blank. Nia tried so hard not cry but the thin liquid streamed fast down her white face and she cried over him. While Mia had fallen to her knees and fainted from distress and overwhelming sadness and shock. Nia held her father until she taken by her hair. She looked at the man fiercely, her hair slipped from his fingers and she bit his hand. Nia sprinted back to the house and packed as much as she could into a two backpacks. She figured that Mia would carry one once she woke up, but for now, she'll return to her wolf form and carry them both with Mia on her back. Flora weeps but makes time to tell them that she loves her twin daughters and gives them a soft, calming goodbye. She smiles and kissed them both as Nia holds her twin up. 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ2xlBgNnh
“Take care of her,” she whispers, “I love you both so much.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1yw2Z2gHl
Nia sobs and runs out of the house blindly into the dark forest. She watches her father change back into his wolf form and lay in his own blood. The forest lights up as their house burns under the flames of a machine. Nia cries and thinks about killing them all as rage consumes her, but as Mia shifts in her arms, the girl swallows her emotions and jumps into her wolf form. Carrying the bags in her muzzle and Mia on her back.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIlRzBETua
She thinks it's going to be hard to wake up tomorrow.
