What a loss You just lost all your sleep And we've always thought That this could never happen
Coming back felt like swimming in the ocean at night with no moon to guide her. Mel fought from the moment the sun came up until well into the afternoon to open her eyes. The Wolf had been repressed for so many years that it wasn't going back without a fight. It was a fight Melinda wasn't sure she was going to win. Each time she moved towards the light, towards the faint sound of Kirley's voice calling to her she felt the wolf bite down on her and drag her back into the void.
It had taken hours for Melinda to wrestle herself free. Her eyes slowly opened, squinting against the sunshine pouring into the room. Staring up at the ceiling for a moment, she tried to make sense of what had happened. She'd been gone, locked away for a week and then... then it all went away. Then she was free. No, not that wasn't right. She'd changed. Turned. Oh, gods, she'd turned and.. what had she done? Melinda couldn't remember any of it. Without wolfsbane her mind was lost to the wolf.
Kirley was there. She could smell him. His scent was so familiar and comforting. Mel had thought she'd never see him again. "Baby," she said, her throat rough. "Baby where are you?"
