Ok I know I said I was ready but come on does it have to be this hard. I've been running through this forest for hours and I still haven't found the place I need to be.
every one of my legs are aching from running nonstop, my paws have twigs and rocks continuously digging into them half the time drawing blood, but I can't stop, not yet. I had never once thought I would even be any where near pass the border than I am right now and to be honest it feels absolutely exhilarating. Every doubt I had in my mind I would fail vanished through the wind in my fur and for the first time since my parents died I feel a sense of freedom and belonging.
For me, everything I was feeling was brand new, the passing wind in my ears, the feeling of dirt under my paws, and the overwhelming desire to howl with relief/excitement. I had always been denied the option of shifting and to run with the rest of the pack, but I wasn't out of the clear yet and I knew not to let my guard fully down until I can find comfort in a new place, with new people, and a new life.
*************************************
After two more hours of running I could finally see my goal. Finding an averagely thick tree I shifted back putting on a hoodie and track pants. Walking in I definitely noticed the looks people around me were giving, but I honestly could care less at the moment.
Going through security really wasn't a problem considering I had nothing that they considered dangerous, wellll I did have a metal bat BUT they for some reason just picked it up looked at it then put it back so OBVIOUSLY they weren't very good at there job, were they?
Trying to find my portal was probably the hardest thing I had to do and that's only because they had made ME walk through every snack and candy store they had to get there. I literally had to close my eyes and block my nose and hope for the best. Being a werewolf definitely helps sometimes, having heightened senses was the only thing stopping me from making an even bigger fool of myself then I already seem to be.
Though somehow I still ended up with a tiny bit of food. Hmmmm?
ANYWAY, on my way to a spare seat I found I crashed into someone, looking up I found an unfamiliar boy standing there. He was relatively attractive, he had platinum blonde hair that was relatively short but making it longer then it is when ruffled up like now. He had electric blue eyes that right now where filled with determination, he had a rather sharp looking face and his body was tall but slightly lanky and less on the muscular side then most teens you meet today. Well werewolf teens which after taking a sniff of the air around us I could confirm he was.
Acting as if on instinct I preformed a low bow spouting apology after apology at this poor stranger who I could tell was looking at me curiously. After I got no reaction from the boy I finally looked up to see him raising one eyebrow, "I was the one who wasn't paying attention and bumped into you so why are you the one giving me apology after apology". At the end the dude couldn't help but seem amused which for some reason kind of ticked me off, "well someone has to do it on your behalf right?" I sass back feeling a surge of confidence.
Instead of getting angry like my pack used to this guy burst out laughing seemingly amused at my sudden sassiness. "I like you" he gasped out after his laughing fit, of course his words swelled up what little happiness was left and a huge grin broke out over my face. "well duh I'm ME" I say putting up jazz hands to show I'm joking around, which again he seemed to be extremely amused by.
*ATTENTION, PASSENGERS FOR THE FLIGHT TO CALAFORNIA, PORTAL 5 ARE BOARDING NOW*
"that's my flight, I hope to see you again one day" and with those few words he starts sprinting down the hall. Overall it was one of the weirdest conversations but I was still on a high from finally escaping my pack so I barely noticed. I could never believe that I would ever actually see that dude again but you never know, destiny has a weird way of working.
It was refreshing to meet some other wolf and not be yelled at for a change but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one around me that would think that way. I had never once thought I could be funny but that mystery man seemed to think otherwise and that's just another reason I wish that we do meet again just from the fact that he was the first person in forever to treat me as an equal even though I'm pretty sure I felt power emanating from him.
well now is no time to be overthinking because as soon as I snapped out of my thoughts I realized my flight had just been called. I knew that running away was probably not for the best but I needed to escape even if it is for a little while, just to find myself and possibly my mate.
While boarding a particular passenger kept sending an icy glare my way but for what will always be a mystery to me for I have social anxiety and find it hard to talk to strangers let alone confront them. Oh well as long as they aren't physically hurting me then it will remain fine, I am sick of being a punching back and will from now on live my life the way I first intended to.
' PASSENGERS PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS FOR TAKE OFF'
Well this is it, Goodbye blue blood and hello to the Bahamas.
