children.
    “I need to shift” he went on to say, but it was impossible for him to do it in the hospital, risking being seen by people.
    I knew why he wanted to shift, if was a wolf he would heal faster and communication would be much faster if I changed too. I had to get him out of there.
    “Do you think you can walk?” I inquired of him and he nodded.
    I wrapped by black parka around his shoulders and we snuck out of the hospital. Fresh blood seeped from his plaster soaking the cotton drape the hospital gave him for clothing. The walking had aggravated the wound and Storm collapsed in my arms before I could get him into the car. I slapped his face to snap him back into consciously and he almost came to, still groggy rolling his head slowly from side to side. In the car ride home, he cradled his chest, he was in tremendous pain. I tried to reassure him, letting him know that we were almost home.
    The road had so many twists and turns that his body shifted from side to side as the car turned each corner. I was certain that he would die before we got to the house but I kept my focus. A sudden shower broke down making the road slippery. The rain was heavy and white, which made it difficult to see through the frosted window. The windscreen wipers sang as they flew back and forth to clear the screen as the heavy drops crashed into the glass. Storm was drifting back into unconsciousness again and his clothes were drenched in blood. Lighting flashed and struck a pine tree, on the side of the road mere meters in front of us causing the giant timber to fall across the road, cutting us off. The car screeched to a halt as I slammed the brakes and spun for several terrifying seconds on the slippery road until the booth of the car careened into the trunk of the tree. I gripped my chest holding my racing heart and took deep long breaths to calm and catch myself. Moments before the car crashed, I saw flashes of my life, of Aislen’s beautiful face and my two children and for a moment I thought it was all going to be taken away from me. I turned to check on Storm and he was gone, his seat was filled with the shards of glass that shattered on impact. Blood that soaked through his clothes had stained the seat below him and I was certain that even if he managed to open the door and toss himself out of the car before we crashed he did not have the strength to continue on. I prepared myself to find his body nearby. The impact caused every nut and bolt in the car to shift and I found myself pinned in the driver seat by the same seatbelts that were designed to save my life. I yanked on the belt breaking the clip that it was fastened into, so that the line freed and I could pull myself out of the car. I came out into the middle of the road, the rain bared down heavily and it stung my skin; it felt like millions of hands slapping me at once. I scanned the area looking for the outline of a body lying in the cold wet street but there was none to be seen. I began to wonder if Storm had indeed freed himself and is alive. I look back towards the car, steam rose from under the hood creating a thick cloud that almost covered it. The red metal almost disappeared completely behind the cloud. In the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of something glowing; two yellow orbs stared at me from across the street at the edge of the woods. I could not see the body they belonged to but I knew it was Storm. He had shifted and probably healed himself and now to him I was just another careless human that wondered in his path. But not for long, I was not going to let myself be killed that easily. This was so much different from that day I saw Aislen as a wolf at the cemetery, she sensed me and she did not regard me as just another ordinary human. Perhaps the poison had made him forget me for a moment.
    I stripped myself and collapsed onto the road on my four paws. We were kindred souls now him and I. He immediately caught my sent and pulled back, disappearing deeper
