She is A Hybrid

Episode 3 - My first shift Leesh's POV

Scarlet returned like she said she would with a temper as wild as a bears she was frustrated and annoyed when she returned and as usual I got the brunt end of it, I was in my room when scarlet barged in and began hitting me, I covered my face and tried to protect my body but it didn't work the more I tried to protect myself the more she swung at me, I stayed silent until she finished curled up in the corner when I heard the door close I unfolded myself I began tending to my wounds as best I could and began to cry, I crawled to my bed and managed to get on to my bed, I curled up in a ball Anna came up a few moments later and saw the mess Scarlet had left me in,

Anna "oh sweetheart I am so sorry sweetheart you have to go through this I'll go and get somethings from the first aid cupboard and we will get you cleaned up"

I laid there and was in a daze, when Anna came back up I had fell asleep, Anna had cleaned me up while I was fast asleep, by the next week I had healed, I avoided Scarlet and stayed in my room. Jake came up to see me and asked if I wanted to go outside but as long as scarlet was around I refused to leave the room.

2 years later ...

2 days and its my birthday, I turn 8, I know its not going to be any different from any other year especially since I got another beating again, last night I was scarlets and her freinds play thing something to be, used for entertainment, scarlet asked me to come down as she often had, this time was different, this time her freinds joined in, scarlet has said to me in the past if I scream or make any noises, I would be punished more so I never uttered one sound as my already frail body took blow after blow, after the first 6, my body became numb and accustomed to it like I always had, each time she did it though the blows to take before i turned numb were lessening, after they finished there torture, George and allister were serving scarlet and her freinds tonight

Scarlet said "you two take this worthless rat to her room and then return with more wine"

all that George and allister could do was "yes ma'am" if they were to challenge scarlet they would die, they had families to protect and work for,

George and allister took hold of me they lifted me high enough so that my feet never dragged across the floor, once we were out of sight, George carried me bridal style, allister ran to get Anna,

"I'm so sorry leesh" he said holding back tears that threatened to fall

"its ok Georgie its not your fault" I reassured him, thats all we exchanged before I succumb to darkness,

I woke up a few hours later, wrapped in bandages, bruises on my face with small swellings and cuts, wounds and bruises everywhere else on my body I couldn't move much, Anna had sent Jake up to keep me company,

"hi good looking, whats cooking?" I said to he turned smiled at me

"hey yourself, how are you feeling?" jake asked me "no more than usual I guess" I said, " mum sent me to keep you company scarlet has her running around ready for the moon goddess festival all the guests are here I've made freinds with two boys their my age, Axel and Luca" he said

I sat up on my bed, a few moans and groans escaped my lips,

"I forgot about the moon goddess festival, its not something I need to worry about I'm staying in here away from everyone... what wait ... what are they like, what did you call them Axel and ..." i said

"Luca there ok I guess, we get on well they are very close to each other and there nice with me ... I wanted to tell them about you, Axel is going to be the next Alpha to the Blue moon pack he hasn't shifted yet and Luca is his second in command his beta ...anyway if you could use some I will keep you company sis" i looked confused at jake,

"whats a Alpha, what do you mean pack?" I questioned I'd never heard that before

Jake closed his eyes, as if he'd just given away screts he shouldn't have "forget what I said I've said too much already"

"Jake tell me?" I said sternly

"ok but mum knows better you should maybe ask her to" he said

"I will now tell me" I said

"well we are all werewolves leesh?" he said I was shocked when he told me

"what?!" I said looking confused again,

"not the scary kind that only change on a full moon, you see we each have a wolf spirit in us that was, given to us by the moon goddess, we don't shift until we are 16, but Alpha's or the ones next in line to be Alpha's can sometimes shift earlier, mum and dad are werewolf shifters too, aswell as me, I havnt shifted yet so I don't have a wolf spirit, I'm too young" he told me

"so can I be one??" I asked

"no leesh, you have to be born as a werewolf," he said I felt disappointed that I wasn't one I wanted to be special like jakey

"awwww thats not fair" I said and folded my arms across my chest

"why don't you ask mum about it" he suggested

"ok" I said

I smiled and walked to the balcony, I winced and moaned on the way it wasnt as bad as it had been but it still hurt,

"its ok jakey if you want to go and be with Axel and Luca I don't mind" I said to him

"maybe later i want to be here, I brought you some treats to help get your strength back and you have no fear of getting caught scarlet is out for the count" he said I smiled and gave jake the biggest cuddle, I was starving I hadnt had anything to eat for 2 weeks scarlets orders and she was checking my room everyday, she drank too much to be even bothered today,

"thank you jakey" I said

"your welcome" he smiled at me and watched me tuck into the various pastries, sandwiches and cakes they were only bite size but after the 5th one I couldn't eat anymore,

"its ok hide them you can eat them later when your up to it" I nodded, smiled and put them back in the little box jake brought them up in and hide it in my cupboard i had, that had my clothes in, I closed the doors, and turned to jake

"hey leesh" jake said

"yeah jake" I replied

"you know you are and only will be my best freind right I wont ever leave you on your own" he said

"I know jakey and I'd never leave you, I'd miss you too much and everyone else" I said

we both smiled hugged each other and laughed, Jake stayed with me we coloured and drew pictures, laughed and I managed to eat the other bites he brought me. I was so grateful to him he was the best older brother I'd ever had, I loved him, Anna, Billy and everyone else so much it made me feel that even though nothing was normal, we were family.

a few hours later, Anna came up to see how we were doing,

"hey you two how are you doing?" Anna said as she walked in to my room

"feeling much better thank you your cream is really good Anna, I'm almost healed look...?" I said proud I had finally began to feel normal

Anna took a look at my body and removed the bandages, she was shocked but then smiled,

"you are right my darling girl but I dont think its my special cream it must be magic" she said she brought me on to her lap and started tickling and kissing me all over, jake joined in blowing raspberries on my belly after a moment or two they let me go,

"anna" I said

"yes my darling," she answered

"why are you and jake werewolves and I'm not" I asked her

Anna looked at me shocked for a moment, she looked at Jake then at me, well my darling, your special you see,"

"how? Jakey said I'm not a werewolf like you" I asked her

"thats right darling your not like us your even better" I looked at her so excited

"am I a angel Anna!" I asked

"yeah you are sweetheart" she said

"oh yey jakey I'm and Angel, do I have wings Anna?" I asked

Anna and jake were laughing at me as I danced around,

"elisha sweetheart tomorrow do you think you could stay awake till really late for me" Anna asked me

"ok what for" I asked

"well its a surprise" Anna said

"oh oh oh really! I can stay awake for that Anna yeah" I asked so excited to see what it was

"ok i am going to send jake up to get you tomorrow and we are going to go into the woods so you can have your surprise we have to go into the woods away from scarlet ok" Anna said

I had the biggest grin on my face "ok" I said

"ok baby girl be a good girl and stay here until tomorrow, come on jake let's leave leesh before we get her into trouble and your freinds have been asking for you" Anna said

"night leesh love you" jake said to me

"love you to jakey" I replied

Once they left I did exactly what Anna told me I stayed in my room until the next day, I was painting a picture when I heard jakes voice from outside, i felt much better than last night so I walked out on to the balcony and watched as jake and two other boys who I assumed would be Axel and Luca the boys he told me about, I giggled as I watched them playing having fun, my smile faded when I realised I wanted to be down there with them, I knew I couldn't so I walked back into my room and found a few things to do while waiting for when jake would come and get me later, it was hard staying awake so i decided i would nap so i wouldn't fall asleep getting my surprise for my birthday, I woke up to the sound of loud music i got up and washed my face, I was looking out at the moon when jake burst through the door,

"hey sis I'm here are you ready?" jake said

"yeah im ready let's go" we snuck down the back stairs down to the kitchen and out, using the shadows as our cover we could here and see hords of people coming out of the house to go and sit by the lake, to watch the fireworks noone seen us, once we were in the forest we ran for about 20 minutes until we made it to a clearing, where Anna, Billy, George, alister and Emily were waiting for us,

"are we having a party Anna" I asked

"not yet sweetheart are you ok?" Anna said

"yeah" i said the next minute the moon light shone on me it was like I was a beacon, I could hear the fireworks being set off in celebration of the moon goddess, but I began to feel the most excruciating pain, I've ever felt worse than when scarlet hit me, I yelled out, my left arm broke and cracked, then my right, my hips broke changing shape I yelled and screamed, as more bones broke an changed and lengthened, when the pain finally subside, I looked at my hands they weren't hands anymore they were paws covered in white fur with hints of blue and silver making it shine and glow, i couldn't talk in the human way anymore i walked over to the lake edge, and stared at the reflection I seen in the water, a cresent moon mark shone on my forehead but my eyes were still brown, I turned around, I towered over everyone, and I heard Anna,

"elisha sweetheart its ok stay calm ok"

I nodded, I turned my head to take in what I was, as I turned my head, I seen wings sproting from my back, elongation out like a Eagle when they spread their wings, I was covered in white fluffy fur, and my tail was long and looked like a white waterfall I panicked at first spinning round to try and get a better look at myself, Jake giggled at me,

"I know you have lots of questions, and I hope I have the answers for you" Anna said to me

unknown 'hi leesh my name is mimmo, I am the dragon spirit and I am Tyraa the wolf spirit we are one do not be afraid we are here to guide you and protect you," they said

'what has happened to me? what am I?!' I asked

'we are a drawolf, part dragon part wolf' mimmo said

"we each have our own abilities but together we are strongest" tyraa said

I was looking around at everyone when a tear came from my eye,

'how do I become me again?' I asked mimmo and tyraa

'all you need to do is will yourself to be small again and we will all change we will still be here for you' mimmo said

I began to change back when I was finally small again, Anna and Emily were shocked to see that i still had my clothes on underneath,

"Anna how can I be a drawolf?! how can I have two voices in my head, there confusing me" I asked Anna

"its ok sweetheart they will be your best freinds, they will always protect you" she said and I believed her but it was so much to take in,

"ok Anna how did I get to be a drawolf?" I asked Anna

"your mummy is the daughter of the moon goddess and the dragon King, you are their granddaughter your daddy was the alpha for the starlight pack he was a werewolf, which was taken over by Scarlet she took over and hasn't looked after it very well there is not many members left they live in a little village up the road called Wray, me, Jake, Billy, emily, George and Allister are part of the starlight pack your parents left because you were in danger, you wore the mark of the drawolf the moment you were born, they agreed to take you and hide you away until you were old enough but they disappeared and you were brought to scarlet, you have so many special powers and gifts my darling, and we do not know them until you are older, you have shifted very early, no werewolf nor dragon shift until they are 16 you are 8 years early, the advantage we have is that because you are under age, you can train and learn everything you need to know without anyone knowing, you can be hidden, your parents didn't abandon their pack or you my darling you had to be protected you are the prophercy brought to keep the peace between the species and there are bad species that would seek to destroy everything to have power" Anna explained

'its ok leesh I will be here for you, we know you are frightened' tyraa said

"how are you feeling sweetheart" Anna asked me

"im not sure, its alot to take in but i don't feel frightened tyraa told me I don't need to be afraid' I said

"is tyraa your drawolf?!" Anna asked me

"she is my wolf spirit and mimmo is my dragon spirit" i said to Anna, Anna and the others gasped

"you have both?!" anna asked me shocked that I had two spirits,

I panicked "is that bad Anna" I said looking worried

"no sweetheart its not bad you are stronger than we all thought that's all" Anna explained

there was a pause everyone looked at me smiling.

"leesh this is Jack" he walked alongside Billy he was taller than Billy, he had a frame full of muscles he was dressed in camouflaged pants a green tshirt and black boots, like the army wear, he had tattoos on his arms he had short brown hair, and deep Hazel eyes,

"he is a werewolf like all of us he spent alot of time in the army, he will train you to fight, arm to arm combat, this will include weapons of your choice, he will push you in your human form aswell as in your wolf form" Billy said,

"hello my little king " Jack said

I giggled and said "hi Jack im not a king call me leesh"

"leesh before we go anywhere Jack wants to make a promise to you and you have to accept" Billy said

"whats it for Billy?" i asked him, Billy looked at Jack he smiled Billy nodded and jack crouched down in front of me,

"well little one your grand mother the moon goddess came to me in a dream and said I must protect you with everything I have so here I am" he said

"but do you want to do it Jack?" I asked him

Jack looked shocked at me for a moment as if I'd said something to offend him,

"i don't have a choice little one" he said to me

"yes you do everyone has a choice Jack, I will only say yes, if you want to do it" I said to him

Jack smiled at me and said "wow little one you are far wiser beyond your years, it would be an honour to protect you,"

"can you be another big brother Jack" I asked him

everyone laughed as they looked at me "of course I can, are you ready to say yes to me" Jack asked me

I nodded my head jack stayed knelt infront of me and held both my hands "I Jack William Shepherd pledge to be loyal, faithful and the only protector to my Alpha and my King Elisha Ayla Willows, until my last breath"

Billy nodded to me

"I Elisha Ayla Willows accept you Jack William shepherd as my protector, as I will protect you" I said

we looked at each other Jack winked at me, I smiled and he gently lifted my hands to his mouth to kiss them.

"elisha sweetheart, you will have to work really hard with Jack so you can be the strongest you can be, you think you could do that" I nodded firmly I was determined to work with Jack and learn everything I needed to she smiled at me,

the night carried on Anna, Billy, George, Allister and Emily all pledged there devotion to me, Jake couldn't do it yet because he was too young, so he made me a pinky promise, which i accepted

"right little one you go back with Anna to the house and sleep, tomorrow we will begin training come back here is that ok" Jack said

"ok Jack see you tomorrow" I said

Jack began to walk away and the rest of us walked back to the house in hopes that none of us would be found and Interrogated by Scarlet lucky for us we used the shadows and the guests had retired for the night or should I say morning. I got into bed and I fell fast asleep. looking forward to when I would start my first training session.

Training began 1st thing, i snuck out of the house and met Jack in the woods were I had been early this morning shifting, something that now felt.foreign to me, jack took me to his hut in the woods, Jack began by telling me about the history of werewolves, about my grandmother the moon goddess and about my parents, I was like a sponge soaking in everything I needed to know, me and Jack may have discovered that was one of my abilities, eidetic memory I can take in and remember things.

"right little one we must train you in your human form before we move on to your wolf or dragon" Jack said

"ok Jack" I said

"first hand to hand combat, there will be times little one that your weapons nor your drawolf will be needed, you are strong on your own aswell as with them never underestimate yourself you are stronger and smarter than you think" Jack said

After my first day of training, I was very hungry and tired, Jack said that being part werewolf I would be very hungry, I snuck into the kitchen on the way back to my room and grabbed a couple of things to eat, I couldn't be greedy, and put weight back on, nor could I afford to lose any more weight, I couldn't let scarlet know my secret, I didnt trust her, I finally got to my room, I got washed and dressed in my very old pj's, as I laid in bed waiting for the darkness to take me, I thought of how much I had learned about my family, how complete I felt having mimmo and tyra with me, I didnt know what was to come next but I knew that whatever came next I was willing and ready to face...
