SEHUN’S POV

Desperation

Vulnerable

Anger

These are the emotions i am constantly being washed with since the past two days. Emotions that I had never experienced, all together, before.

‘I think I will go crazy sooner or later.’

No one says it on my face but I have heard them saying that I have gone crazy; sometimes they forget that I am a wolf and can hear well. Baekhyun says I had gone berserk yesterday morning when I tried to break in the cellar. They tell me to calm down but shit I can hear her scream everywhere I go. Baekhyun doesn’t let me leave the house or let me go see her even for a few minutes.

I may have even gone over board and threatened everyone that I will slash myself with a knife if they don’t take me to see her. I almost got everyone to agree until Tao knocked me out with his wushu stick and locked me here in the basement.

‘What the fuck is wrong with me why does her scream affect me?’

‘Why is it that every time she screams I want to rip the whole cottage apart because I feel helpless?’

‘Is Jongin right? Do I like her? What the hell am I thinking? This is probably because this is my first time seeing or experiencing someone shifting.’

‘Just one  and a half more day Sehun one and a half more day.’

KYUNGSOO’S POV

Everyone has been going crazy since the past two days. Everyone is sad. The aura of our cottage has never been this sad in any of the past shifts but then again never did we have a girl shift. Her screams are a little too intense plus she is our only girl which means we all get affected a little more but some of us are not handling it very well.

Chen and Xiumin shed a tear every time we hear her scream.

Yeol and Lucas pace around the house like it’s a football field and they even gym stress.

And I will not even start about Oh Sehun. One thing that the whole family know or thinks is that ‘Oh Sehun is either too affected by it or is in love.’ I think it’s both. The kid has gone crazy and his ‘parents’ are worried sick over him.

Sighing I pack food and make my way to the hut. I have the duty to bring the girls food. Its Aana’s turn today and the mere thought bring tingles in my tummy. I know this isn’t the time but I cannot help it. Whenever we talk I cannot help but smile. She is one of the nicest living beings I have ever met.

I knock at the cottage and a ‘come in’ is what I get as a reply.

“Hungry?” I ask.

“Very”

“I got your favorite sandwiches”

“You are the best. I will miss these sandwiches so much when I leave, I swear.” She says while munching on one of the sandwiches.

This is the only sad part that will come along once Erie is done shifting. I will miss this girl. We have nothing in common, other than a will for the right result in the end. I am the one who is led by logic and she by emotion. She wants to run out and heal the wounded while I know it would take resources beyond what we have. She has intelligent things to say and an attitude that is somehow more mature than the rest of us yet she is an emotional baby with drama on the top. That’s her charm and I think no I believe I fell for her plus she is a clean person like me and unlike the rest I have in my cottage.

“…Right?”

“Sorry I zoned out.” I say snapping out of my thoughts.

“I could see.” She narrowed her eyes at me in a playful manner and still managed to look the cutest of all.

“I am sorry my lady will you do the honors of repeating yourself?”

“Well since you asked so nicely I think I can, kind sir.” I nodded. “I was saying you wouldn’t mind if I pop at your place for sandwiches right?”

The way her lips are lifted upwards. The way her dimples surfaced. The way her teeth are perfectly showing only indicates how she badly wants me to agree with this but for some reason I want to take my chances.

“Sure you can but on one condition.”

“Anything”

“Every time you pop at my place for the sandwiches I’ll consider it as a date.” I declared. I may have looked very confident but my legs were turning jelly I am so glad I was sitting. I was ready for a slap I even closed my eyes but they shot open when I heard...

“Deal”

Unable to comprehend what the actual fuck just happened I just stared at her for a second. She was looking straight in my eye and was smiling that breathtaking smile of hers.

“What? Didn’t expect me to agree? I am doing it for the sandwiches not for you.” Sarcasm dripped from her mouth, her voice was filled with suppressed laughter even an idiot like Chanyeol would know she was kidding.

“Okhey then I will consider this as our first date.”

Aana suppressed a smile. I could tell from her blush that she liked me and I reciprocated it. I think I was blushing as well. She had rosiness to her face, it was cute. I think I might just want to hold on to this moment a little more.

XIUMIN’S POV

Stars filled the sky like pale corn into freshly turned ground. Even the sky is happy that Erie is finally done. It’s been 5 minutes since her screams died and here I am in front of the cottage. I go in expecting Aana to be ever ready for me and Suho but instead I find her cuddling with Kyungsoo? ON the sofa OVER the HATCH.

“Really guys?”

They broke from their string of cuddles and unlimited glances at each other.

“Oh umm hi guys.” I narrow my eyes in return and gesture them to move.

I climbed down the stairs and was welcomed with a beautiful sight.
There stood a whitish grey wolf that could beat any snow in color. Her once silver eyes melted into a heavier grey, more intense in color. Her bones moved under her skin like mechanical snakes.

Here now stood one of the most graceful and beautiful she wolves I have ever seen, my baby. I pat her head feeling proud.

Aana comes down with some clothes and tells me to wait outside which I do. Soon we head to our cottage.

ERIE’S POV

There's a certain level of tiredness that equates to insanity; for me it's when I'd like to temporarily dislocate my spirit from my body, as if I could ask God to take me out for just a short while, let my soul go wherever souls go to be zen. I'm a fairly brave person, I have known it now that I have survived a lot, but sometimes I just don't wanna feel the process of recovery all over again. This is what I feel, I just want it to finish. Every part of my body hurts like I have just broken my bones for three days straight… oh wait I just did.

After getting clothes and support from Aana I stumble my way up to be met with a bone crushing hug by Xiumin and Suho. After a mini reunion with my ‘eomma’ and ‘grand mom’ and Kyungsoo we finally start our way to home. Fallen leaves and twigs littered the walkway, bathing in dark of night. Fifteen minutes seemed like years to me before I finally saw the mansion like cottage.

Returning home I feel like a tortoise retracting into its shell. The troubles, of the world, evaporating. To anyone else this is just a house a cottage, but to me it is sanctuary, it is cocoon, it is rest.

There standing in front of the main gates are the people I love the most in the world. My family. My eyes slowly filled with tears, the pain in me, forgotten. Before I knew it, I was being embraced by multiple people tightly, my tears dripping from my cheeks on one of their shirts. All arms were encircled around me, making me forget everything except for the fact I am home. Never in my life have three days been any longer for me.

I go in and I am welcomed by another hug which, after a second or two, I realize is from Lucas and then I am greeted by Mark, Jeno and Jisung I have no idea who was who exactly but oh well. After greeting them I am greeted by Taeyong.

“Welcome Home.” And before I could say anything I am embraced in a hesitant hug which ends a little too quickly in my opinion. “See you didn’t die instead you made us all proud.”

A small smile played on his lips. It wasn't what he said though, his words were like simple vanilla pudding, sweet in their ordinary sort of way, it was the richness of his tone, luxurious and warm it made me feel a little giddy.

As I scanned the little crowd I suddenly realized I could see no sign of Sehun. I started to move amongst the families, my eyes darting more wildly with each passing second. I felt my heart sink and ache at the thought of him not being here to welcome me.

‘Am I not important to him?’

“Looking for something or might as well ask someone?” the smug look on Baekhyun and Luhan’s faces again reminds me that I am home but it doesn’t means that it is any less annoying.

“I was just going to the kitchen.”

“Really? And do exactly what? Look for your best friend’s son?” Luhan has his one eye brow raised and is leaning against the nearby wall. He has a playful smirk on his face that says ‘I know everything don’t you dare lie’ while Baekhyun is just there watching.

“So what if I was looking for him it’s not like he cared enough to be here.”

“Oh but he actually did and he is here.”

My heart may have sped a little faster at the mere mention of that oaf being here but nonetheless I didn’t let it show.

“I don’t see him.”

“That is because he went mad as a hatter since you screamed for the first time.” Chanyeol hugged his lover from behind while telling me this ending it with a kiss on Baekhyun’s cheek. “Hey baby.” He said and the later looked like a rare tomato species. Ignoring the overly flowing love I managed to ask about Sehun and got filled in with answers to, where is he? And, why is he there.

‘Seems like someone actually did missed me after all.’

SEHUN’S POV

I can hear them, all of them actually. And I know that in the matter of seconds she will be down here. I can hear her footsteps getting close to me.

Closer.

A little more closer and finally...

Happy is what I feel when Erie walks in through the stairs, when I know that there will be no screams now, no more of her being in pain. It's not that she's fireworks and chatter; but she is. Just being near her lights me up inside, gives me a serenity I can never know without her being close. It's like the breaths I take aren't full when she's away, like the smiles I smile are incomplete somehow. Just her standing here near to me is right now my favorite place in the world.

My skin tingled when she wordlessly hugged me and my heart beats erratically in my chest, so hard that I thought it might fly out. There were butterflies - no, lions and dinosaurs in my chest, maybe a whole fucking jungle came in to party, but it felt good.

I finally admitted to myself what I knew all along, but was too afraid to admit it. I like her no scratch that I love her.

A lot.

And I want to be with her.
