"Oh, my gods! Azu, your ok!"
Kate ran into the room as soon as the door opened. Elias practically did the same.
"Jesus Azu! Just because we met you, like only yesterday, we're still your friends!"
Kate hugged me. I think she almost cracked my ribs, honestly.
"Is it OK if I talk to Zane alone for just a few minutes?"
"Sure. Kate, Elias, let's go."
Blaze, Elias and Kate left the room. Kate was giggling quietly. She was probably thinking that I liked him.
"What do you need?"
"Um, you know how you said your part wolf?"
"What about it?"
"Well, what if I told you I'm part mythical?"
"Then I would believe it. Why do you guys hide thing like this?"
"Mom'll kill me if I just show off my ears and tails."
"Then I'll do it with you. I do it a lot."
"You do?"
"Yea. It doesn't cause problems. But I mostly do it in Deco."
"What's Deco?"
"It's a town for Half-bloods like us."
"There's an actual town for that?"
"Yea. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it."
"So, I can just reveal freely?"
"Not freely out here. But yea. If your in Deco, you can reveal freely."
"Ok. Thanks. How do I get there?"
"Every Half-blood has the power to travel quickly. Just say aloud where you want to go and a portal will appear in front of you."
"You do this everyday? Don't you?"
"It's very obvious that I do."
"Thanks again."
"Whatever. You needed it."
After our conversation we allowed Elias, Kate and Blaze back in. Kate sat on the hospital bed with me.
"Sooo, what'd you guys talk about?"
"Just about things and half-bloods."
"Hmm. Sus."
"Yea Zane what'd you guys talk about?"
"God, Elias. You and Kate are so nagging."
"Cmon, Blaze. Don't you wanna find out. Especially since you wanna have a girlfriend, someone in this room."
"Oh shaddup Elias!"
"Azusa's also a half-blood."
"....."
'Oh gods! Zane, why'd you say that!? I didn't want them to know!'
"om...G! Azu your a, a, a half-blood?"
"Yes I am. No can you please quiet down."
"That's so awesome. Now we have two half-bloods."
"Kate, leave her alone."
"Oh you want some, Zaney-boy. Then come and get it!"
Kate pulled Zane's hood down and grabbed a pair of headphone that he was wearing.
"Hey, Kate! Give those back, not cool!"
"Forget it! You always look so gloomy anyway. Lighten up dude."
"Ugh, just give them back."
Kate gave the headphones back. That was the first time I had seen Zane without his hood up. He had black raven hair and violet eyes. He also had pale skin, like a vampire.
'I wonder if werewolf's are like that to.'
Zane put his hood back up. I stared at him, still admiring his fluffy hair that dangled in his face.
"What are you looking at Azusa?"
I blushed and looked away.
"Why don't you call me Azu? I like it better when I'm called Azu."
"Beacuase I don't want to. It's just respectful."
"It's not respectful if I don't like it."
"I'm still gonna call you Azusa."
"Just call me Azu."
"No."
"I...like... being...called...Azu."
Blaze jumped in the conversation.
"Ok, that's enough! Azu's still recovering. Let's not argue."
"Whatever."
"Fine."
Zane and I looked away from eachother. Elias, Blaze and Zane talked on the opposite side of the room from me and Kate.
"Why'd you get so mad at Zane? It's just a nickname right?"
"It's not just a nickname for me. My dad would call me his little Azu. He died when I seven. We had a really special bond."
"Oh, so that's why. I'm sorry. Zane is just a natural knucklehead."
"I heard that."
"I wasn't exactly whispering and I wanted you to here it!"
"It's whatever. That was 9 years ago."
"9 years ago?! That's so sad!"
"What's so sad?" Elias asked.
"Huh? oh nothing."
"I don't care if you tell them. It was a long time ago."
"What was a long time ago?
"Oh my god Elias. Whatever, I'll tell. Azu prefers to be called, well, Azu because her dad called her a his little Azu. He died when she was seven and Azu said that they had a really special bond."
*sniffle* sniffle*
"Oh my gods! Azu I'm so sorry!"
Kate hugged me.
"I-its Ok *sniffle* I'm a-alright."
Zane walked over and sat on the bed, criss cross applesauce.
"Fine. I'll call you Azu from now on."
"Snf, you will?"
I wiped my nose.
"Yea. I will."
"Thank you!"
I hugged Zane. He had a surprised look on his face. He hugged me back.
"Yea, yea, I get it. Go to sleep now. You still look pale."
"Let's go ya'll. Azu's gotta rest up. She should have one more day."
"Coming Blaze, lets head out Elias."
"Coming."
They left the room, and I was alone again. I unhid my ears and tails. I starred at my injured tail.
"Stupid weak spots. Your the only reason why I'm in here right now."
Zane was listening to me from outside. He was leaning against the wall.
'She doesn't understand yet. I'll wait a little longer. Then I'll tell her a few things.'
He walked to the car with everyone else and they all went home.
