Chapter 10 - Just Jay

Just Jay (Jay's POV)

I'm so weak, why can't I ever answer questions about finding another mate? Could there be another for me? Or are we as a species only destined to only have one mate.

Could it be possible that Tatum may become a Red Kite again. What if it's the other way round, will he recognise me? I have so many unanswered questions.

I flew and flew. Pondering on the possibilities, then I realised I had passed my perch.Seeing as I knew the surroundings with my eyes closed, I just turned back around. Everywhere I went reminded me of Tatum.

The good and the bad.

I suddenly remembered that there were wolves and I tried to remember the memories I had locked away. I realised there were some wolves I recently befriended. One of them looked suspiciously familiar. I considered darting myself towards them, but I held back as it was getting late and I was hungry.

The following morning I flew a bit further and longer than I usually would for my food. I dived for my catch, but all of a sudden I felt something oddly different deep within myself. I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.

What Jay didn't know was that he was reforming again, something called the metamorphosis phase. This happens when someone or something has lost so much and is finding it hard to heal. Jay's body has made the decision to help him move on.

Jay felt tired pretty quickly and perched on the highest branch nearby to recuperate. This only took Jay a couple days and after his rest Jay felt fresh, though his memory was still spotty. He was still sure that he had seen the grey wolf before and he had set out on his journey back.
