Cocoa's POV

I slept away most of the time, enforcing things occasionally. I kept having that one dream with that wolf silhouette. Sometimes I got so close to him I could almost touch him, that's how I discovered I couldn't smell him to get his scent so I could find out who my soulmate was. My Mate Side was constantly taunting me about knowing who it was but not telling me. My Right Side, just started ignoring everything and stopped talking. Except when I needed her most, then she'd jump in and help me. I slept in there for hours on end, the dream going in loops, white, then black, the distorted male voice yelling my name, the golden horizon, almost touching, then repeating itself. It was the most annoying thing! Come on, you're not stupid! If I can sense this, surely you can too? Right? No, you can't, cause my sensing of it would be stronger! But I know who it is! And he's closer than you think! My Mate Side would go ranting on, I'm helping you! You'll understand soon. But in the meantime, I taunt you until you realize, and you will! I'll stop talking and disappear like Right did when I started talking about the dreams. And you'll be on your own! But that won't be for a while, he doesn't even know yet. Which reminds me, I can hear his Mate Side, that's how I know, he has the same dreams but with you. I'll help you till you crush on someone, then you're on you're own, but I'll still be there. Silent. Waiting. Watching. Until his mate side can come into your head, with me. And you won't hear me or her. But we'll still be doing things! 'Please stop ranting...' I pleaded in my head to her. Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. But I'll be back! She said the last bit in a sing-song kind of tone. I'm gonna give them both actual names. The right will be... Hazel. I imagine her with hazel wings. And Mate will be Aeris. Definitely. Forever. (I am heartbroken over that <} {3 I hurt everywhere now) I hope I have a normal dream for once, I thought as I drifted off to sleep again, but the looping dream was still there...

Sephiroth's POV

I went on another patrol to stretch my wings when I spotted Cocoa running into a hallow. When I got close though, she had closed it off to the point where almost nobody could get through. I flew off, but only for a while. When I came back to that spot, there was a black and white green-eyed winged wolf there, he looked like he had just tried to get through."Trying to get through? Good luck. I've felt her full strength. She's strong as hell."I said, "Like I didn't know that! She hit me with an elemental attack nine years ago!"He responded in an irritated tone, he was probably angry at not getting through."Why do you want to get in?"I asked."I want to take her back home."He told me, as far as I knew, she lived in a bush...(F to the Y to the I, Sephiroth's right and mate sides are mixed genders {Right: male Mate: female} named Cid and Aster.) Apparently, she lives with this guy. I dunno what's honest and lies anymore."She's not letting me in, "He said, "I know why. She's the more responsible wolf of the house, she just wanted a nine-year break. But only because I couldn't find her."I heard a growl from inside all the protection, Cocoa."FATHER. LEAVE. NOW."She growled, her father didn't back off, and I figured Cocoa knew he was still there."Cocoa, what are you doing?"I asked, "Hiding from that monster!"Was her response,

"I don't think he's a monster..."

"He killed my mother!"

"He wants to take you home."

"I don't want to go home, I can't go home, I was born without wings! Only winged wolves can enter the Winged Biome!"

"Winged Biome?"

"The outskirts Biome beyond the rocks, no one can see it."

That was it. She couldn't go back home, that was why she didn't return to her father. Monster she had called him. Monster... Me. I'm a monster... She called herself a monster back after she killed me. That hurt me, I don't get hurt often. I still don't know why, but by saying that, she hurt me. Get in there somehow Sephiroth. Get in. Without him. Aster told me, but I ignored her, I didn't listen to that side of my conscience. Ever. Only if I was feeling something very strong and didn't understand it, which hasn't happened yet, but will probably. The dreams I couldn't explain may be worth asking about. Nope. I have information on that, but you won't get it! I know who the female in those dreams is, and you have to find out. Aster had been listening in on my thoughts and feelings again. But the way she said that she sounded taunting, like a big piece of meat just beyond your reach. I heard Cocoa growl again, she's not giving up, "Allen you... You..."She tried to put what she was feeling into words, but couldn't do it. Her father, I take it, was on her shitlist."Sephiroth, can you kick him off the mountain for me? Hurt him as bad as you can?"She asked,

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because he hasn't done wrong. There's no proof he killed your mother."

"Please, give him severe wounds, make him hurt. Please!"

"No."

"Sephiroth, he hurt me by hurting my mother. Please, give him that hurt back."She sounded pleading and sad...

"No." Even though my answer wanted to be yes.

"At least... Make him leave?"

"That I will do."

"Thank you!"

"Allen, as she called you, can you leave? You are causing her pain, insanity, and making her plead for me to destroy you."I said, and he said no. I expected that. So, I unfolded my wings and grabbed one of his and flew him off the mountain and into the Winged Biome, since I had wings. I set him down, he gave up and flew off to what I assume was his den. I took a quick look and flew back to where Cocoa was."He's gone. He gave up. I want to know more about why you didn't want to go back with him. I'll be in the Snow Biome, by the candle spot."I said through her defenses and flew off to my next destination.
