Kia and Elizabeth just stood there and look at each other and it seemed like hours until Kia broke the silence.
"Hi Elizabeth, I'm Kia." Kia stretched out her hand for Elizabeth to take and El slowly took it as she spoke with confusion in her voice
"H..hi Kia." It was as if she didn't really believe that anything was different, that it was still Sophia in front of her and in a way it still was. Just a different part of her.
"Did you expect me to shift into my wolf form? Or that I wouldn't look the same as Sophia?" Kia was never one to walk slowly across the ice, she ran without regards to the risks.
"Something like that maybe. I don't know. I mean I've met werewolves, wolves before but never this middle version, that's new. I didn't know you could do that." She was coming around and finally landing in the reality that was Sophia and Kia.
"We usually don't do it on command like this, it takes a lot of energy and focus for the both of us. When being under extreme distress or in life or death situations I have no issues just jumping in. And when we're feeling really turned on, I have needs too so.." A wave of panic and sadness washed over El's face.
"Oh, so earlier in the dressing room was that you?" she sounded sad and hurt by the thought of her first intimate moment with Sophia may have been with someone else.
"No, I gave that to Soph. She needed that more than me in that moment. To open up to you more." You could see El's face relaxing at knowing it had been Sophia.
"Oh.. Okay. So you are like another person inside her? That's kind of weird, I mean how will I know who's true emotions that's being expressed? Or who makes certain decisions?" She was curious of how it all worked, she wanted to understand her betrothed.
"Almost. I mean sure I'm always in her head but I'm not always there and she has the final say in any decisions. But we are one person, we're just more or less dominant in different situations in a way. If that makes any sense?" Kia did her best to explain even it that isn't one of her strong suits.
"Not really but yeah.. So when you are in charge do you have access to Sophia's powers?" her curiosity grew the more she found out.
"Yeah, I'm not as good as her yet since she's had more practice than me. As a wolf I've accepted that I won't cast any spells cause they don't work through growls and such unfortunately." She was never truly accept it but she tried at least.
"Cast spells? What else can you two do? I only knew about mind reading and the elements" This was as good a time as any to let her in on our abilities.
"She has picked up different magical abilities over the years. Cassie helped her to cast spells when she turned seventeen and she fixed so that we don't have to be naked as we shift back and forth. It really helped through our training. And before that we mastered the force-shield, that comes in handy when we fight. Not that James let us fight for real.." Kia didn't call James for dad, technically her father was James's wolf, Lincoln and not James.
"she really is a hybrid of everything.. Except vampires" her face fall a bit at the comment.
"Well.. We know how to mind reading remember?" Kia tried to put a smile on her mates face and had a little success.
"right, but we have extreme speed and the whole undead thing going for us as well. Not the mention compelling." Oh, there was will some things that she didn't know.
"Hmm.. Sophia and Cole have been working on mind control as well." Kia confessed which gave a little shock to Elizabeth's face.
"But she will still grow old." her face fell once again at the thought of one day losing her betrothed.
"Yeah, still haven't mastered that issue yet. Sorry." she offered her a small smile in comfort.
"It's okay, we'll work something out. We have time." she focused a smile on her face.
"So.. What do you wanna do?" Kia asked as a way of changing the subject.
"If you think you can keep up I wanna show you guys something." she challenged Kia, dumb move. As said, there was still so much she didn't know yet.
"Then I wanna level the playing field if that's okay?"
"of course." Elizabeth accepted.
Kia let her true self appear in front of our mate, fingers turning into claws, bones cracking and we took a different form. Our eyes were now focused on Elizabeth that just stood there in silence looking us over. This was the first time Kia had felt self conscious about her wolf but when her eyes filled with amazement it went away. She was in awe of the wolf standing in front of her, a wolf that radiated power, grace and strength. A huge pearl white wolf with pink glimmering eyes that was looking right into hers.
"You are beautiful and a pure blood" she buried her hand in the soft white fur making Kia purr at the touch. "Ready to run?" Kia let out a growl, gave El a light nod and in the blink of an eye Elizabeth speeded through the garden towards the trees at the edge with Kia at her heels. Running is what Kia does best, she is faster than all the other wolves back home and stronger than them as well. Being part of a gift from the Moon goddess Selene herself had it's perks.
Over a thousand years ago there was a special kind of werewolves out in the world, pure bloods. They were like Kia with pearl white fur and pink eyes. Pure bloods were seen as royals, the original wolves and direct descendents to the goddess that created us, Selene. They were also called Lycans but unlike Sophia they were immortal. Selene and her siblings all created a magical creature to leave their mark on our earth so Selene created the werewolf bloodline. Her brother Helios, the sun god, turned the first vampires and their sister Eos, the dawn goddess, created the line of sorcerers. But just as everything else on this earth we all have strength and weaknesses. The werewolves being cursed with the loss of power and being stuck in their wolfs during a full moon while the vampires are slaves to the sun. The sorcerers were blessed with so much power that their powers were bound to the dawn. But being as powerful they were it didn't take long for them to lift the curse that was placed on them. And they got hungry for even more power and hunted down as many pure bloods as they could find and stole their powers making them smaller, weaker, slower and darker fur and eyes. All the light and color was drained from their bodies and they were left to feel the pain on turning every full moon. The vampires was forced to become monsters to survive after the sorcerers got to them. They were now filled with the need human blood to get through the night.
Selene, Helios and Eos gathered the sorcerers and stripped them of their power and remade them with a core of good and light and the need for magical objects and others to perform harder magic, they had created witches. They were set as a moral compass to keep the other magical creatures in line and the magic world in balance. So when Selene gave Sophia and Kia all the power they now possess it made her the most powerful magical creature since the sorcerers disappeared. The only original creature of the gods, a part of them all, one of a kind.
Kia loved the speed she could achieve, she was right next to Elizabeth. The wind blowing through her fur and the taste of the fresh air around her. Elizabeth caught her eyes on her and realized that she was right next to her, surprised by her speed she smirked and ran even faster. The race was on. Kia didn't think twice about accelerating to Elizabeth's speed, which wasn't quite as fast as she could go. She gave El a look before speeding of a head of her through the trees and when she reached a clearing in the woods she stopped, waiting in her mate who arrived a minute later. She had shifted back to her human form but still with Kia in control, at least for a little longer. Once Elizabeth got there she stopped and actually had to catch her breath for the first time in years.
"Okay, you are wicked fast girl. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" still breathing heavily.
"I think I'll let Sophia show you, I'll see you later." she gave her a hug as she said goodbye.
"How will I know if it's you?" she was still curious about Kia's side of Sophia.
"It's all in the eyes babe." she gave Elizabeth a last wink before closing her eyes as she let Sophia take back control. As soon as her eyes fluttered open Sophia's golden green eyes were back. "She's not that bad right?" I asked her as Sophia again.
"I think I can stand her at times." her comment made Kia growl inside which only made Sophia laugh.
"Great, you made her mad. You will owe me one for that." she flirted and took the steps needed to close the distance between them.
"How is this for p*****t?" she said before pushing her lips to Sophia’s and she didn't think twice before responding to the kiss. After a while they parted for the need of air being to great.
"I think that will due for now." she gave Elizabeth a quick peck on her lips before continuing to speak. "So I've heard that you might wanna see what I can do?" Elizabeth only nodded with excitement in her eyes.
Sophia did what she loved to most to use her powers for, to make flowers, grass and trees grow and bloom. She put her hands to the ground and transferred her energy to the soil beneath her. A small sprout started to grow right in front of her and she placed her hands on the sides of it and shifting the magic to the plant that was now growing bigger by the second. Within a minute it was a small tree and after a few more the tree was a beautiful, full grown oak tree in the middle of the clearing. She stood back up and looked up at the new creation in front of them. She walked up to the tree and put her on the trunk and once again focused her energy to the tree. When satisfied with her work she stepped back and look at what she made, letters spelling out E+S inside a heart. She looked over at Elizabeth who now stood at her side and slowly put her lips to Sophia's. The next second Amy's voice rang loud in her head.
~Soph! Get back here, there's been an attack.~
