Chapter 24 - LEARNING TO LIVE WITH THE MONSTER

~ ELISH ~

I breathed, I knew I was awake but I could not get up. My body sore, weak and tired. I felt like I had fallen off a building. I could not even wink.

'Gosh, what the hell?'

A lengthy groaned escape my lips. My eyes watered, the pain so much I was considering crying some out.

*Are you ok, Boy*

"What do you think, idiot?!'

I snapped at him.

*Human body really is useless. Already brooding after just a fall from the height of your room to the ground*

'What?' I heard what he said but it didn't make any sense.

*I went to look Around. Left through the window. Did not think it would backfire. Your body is ridiculous*

"Then why did you not go out with yours. You Moron." He began to laugh.

Elish was not finding it funny at all and he realized that and stopped his giggling almost immediately after he started.

*You need to get back to normal?*

Elish did not reply.

*Come on. It is just an easy task*.

Elish knew, he would never do it without something in return which was utterly ridiculous because he was supposed to be him.

*Are you doing it or not*

Elish scoffed.

"You seem desperate." He could not see it but he knew… the werewolf was not smiling anymore.

*I should have expected that. We are the same after all. I will just spit it out then… I need more power. You still own so much of the little we were left with. I took a few and that's how am able to have a strong presence. Strong enough to control your body but I need more*.

"And what happens after you get this power. You became capable Of taking charge at will. Not a chance."

The werewolf huffed.

*If I do more for you. Will you agree now?*

It sounded like he was pleading.

"Why all this, all of a sudden?"

*I do not want to stay a shadow, am you and you are me. We should have equal privilege*

"And let you kill again, No, never again." I said to him. So far as I was concerned, he was a radical and insane. I would be mad letting him loose in this world.

*I will not kill as long as I do not run out of strength and I will not run of strength if I have that power*.

"Taking over my body is by my rules. And I still need that favor."

*Deal*

I didn't know how he as intending to take it but I know something left me including my control over my body. He had to be in it to be able to self-heal he said. I reminded him I had to go to school today so it was decided, he would prepare for school on my behalf.

The beast was very obedient when it wanted something although I knew I was the only one who could make that happened. It was when he was coming out from the bathroom that Leo burst into the room. He scared Leo the second time. Except Leo somehow stays standing each time.

Well, I was getting control back so Leo did not have to freeze in fear too long. Immediately I picked my complete sanity back, I used the nude excuse to send him away.

Now I was standing beside my mirror eyeing the deep open claw wound on my shoulder. Dry and not bleeding but it still looked like it would hurt a lot.

"I was very scared last night; how come I feel so aloof about the gore scene you made me watch?"

And then there was this distaste for life in this place I keep feeling having since I took back control Permanently today but one question after the other.

*I thought you said you had to go to school and early*

"Talk, I am listening."

I heard him heave with the faint growl of the beast he is before he began. I was tucking in the white turtleneck top when he spoke again.

*What I know is that I woke up a wolf. A big wolf. It was you then though, I took over later and we had a great feast. You kept interrupting though. That's why that girl lived*

I opened the door and fast paced downstairs. I still heard what he said. It made so much sense why I felt like taking care of her. Leo was by the dining table when I came. I wanted to throw some meat in to my mouth and I was looking for it with my eyes.

"I already packed breakfast. Let's go."

Leo said making for the door. I was next to him immediately but I still caught the air kiss Mrs. Parker threw at me. She gave me that eyes smile and I suddenly wondered; out of nowhere… what would it be like to make contact with her lips…

"Wait, what?"

I heard a ludicrous growl.

"You are bitch."

He started laughing. I was walking to the car now, to open the car door, something I still try to understand how to do. I could not shun him and do this other thing at the same time so I choose to like him snicker until I was relaxed in the back seat and waiting for his continuity. He knew and he responded to the needful.

*After that, I was able to gather enough of their life force to grow my power and turn human. My mind and yours were still interwoven at that time, loosely though. That's why whenever I acted, your consciousness becomes a spectator to mine. After hunting again the following night; I decide to split away from you.*

*Your human nature was suppressing me, hugging all the power I needed to get to the light. So I split powers too. And now, you have enough to be an ordinary human and I have enough to be a werewolf.*

'Why are we scrambling for power and why is no one noticing that my stature, my eyes and my ferocity, has died down greatly. Now I look like all these basketball players in these people's sports; a very well built one though. But generally not too outstanding.'

*Because the more I gain power to fuel my persona, the weaker this one gets..*

'Why?'

*I do not know, I use to but not anymore. Werewolves are not human. We can tell when something is missing. We come into existence with some information about our selves that not even Heaven can take. It helps us get basic detail about ourselves especially when a one of us suffers a memory deterioration.*

'That's skill sure Is handy.'

*Yeah but Not in this situation though. We gave up our memories ourselves. Our powers too, maybe. I do not know why but what I know is that you and me, we are a Harmony of a combination of a werewolf and a human. Which means we can effectively tap into the power of a human and the power and a werewolf and we can choose to combine.*

*For other Werewolves, human form is like mere shading fur. But you no longer have the power to keep you two independent dorms as one so that's why we are split.*

I heaved. That's made sense.

…God damnit, I am actually agreeing to this shit. Like am not of this world. This is straight up insane. Like am still dreaming…
