hands, turning on my heel. I scanned the darkness's floor. "Ahah!" I squealed. Picking up the ribboned platters. I must be crazy. But this is shocking... I honestly had no clue this would work! Two eyes stared shocked at me, curious. The other... well, he'd have to get used to me being around.
"Tristian?" I was kind of shocked to hear some softness, when I said his name. He is a jerk. I turned. My new friends just waited patiently. In my head, I heard a buzz, odd enough, I had a feeling they were talking amongst each other. "What time is it?" I ignored them.
The jerk transformed. His face was puzzled, cocked, and no angry lines showed. His eyes went orange, stilling me. Hes... cute--- when he's not pissed. Talk about moodswings... Woah. I snapped my head back into reality. Jeezums... Almost deja vu. "It's now just 12:07," he said emotionlessly. His eyes were silver again, not black. I sighed, strangely glad he wasn't mad at me. Whenever his eyes did that-often enough-I always felt relievd that they weren't always black. Hmmmmm...
He stared at me, looking blank, like the others,"Why?" His eyes locked onto mine, and the sudden smile on my face seemed to put him in awe. He looked down, but I Iooked at the others while looking at him outta the corner. When he looked up to watch me do so, he looked shocked and turned a shade of red. Another hmmm. "Its now 12:07."he muttered.
"Today is now my sixteenth birthday. Now, who wants to celebrate with some pie!" I jumped in the air. The animals looked at me, with surprise in their eyes. Together they knelt, both bowing. My smile faded and my mouth dropped when Tristian knelt, one hand over his heart.
We'd be honored Our Lady. In unison they chimed. Tristian looked at me with a look I couldn't understand. It was almost... kind. My heart melted. I stood straight, shaking my head. The goop called my heart shook itself off. I quickly curtsied, feeling awkward and a little weird. There was that deja vu feeling again!
"You all have alot of explaining to do. And you can call me Rowan, but I don't mind if you call me 'My Lady' now and again. I like that, but we're friends now, so don't trouble yourself." I smiled, tilting my head, my heart pounding in my chest. I have friends! In all my life, I was thought a freak. But, now, it was strangely familliar and different. It was a nice feeling.
Yes, Lady Rowan, as you wish. Happy Birthday! May happiness find you!
I saw Tristian bow his head further down. His eyes looked glazed over, a blue now. They raised their heads, but his eyes silver again. If animals could smile, it was the funniest thing ever. They tried their best. Lupin nuzzled my cheek as he got his slice of pie. He wolfed it down.I laughed, stroking his fur. He seemed to hum with pleasure, my pun didn't seem to work for that. Hana nibbled on her's, giving me a peck on the forehead as she waddled past. I scratched between her wings in thanks. Her feathers ruffled. Tristian came next. He had finished his slice. He looked at me.
"Thank you, Ms. Walker." his eyes twinkled a little. A smudge of chocolate was left on his mouth. It was annoying the hell out of me, so I decided to have a little entertainment. I grabbed at napkin, and without thinking, started to dab his lips. He went stiff, and I gently wiped the smudge away. Watching his eyes, I had a little fun. It was fun teasing him.
His eyes were gold now, and his shoulders relaxed before I pulled away. His face looked flushed, like before. I smiled, and turned away, my hand lingering, still playing.... when he grabbed it.
He placed my pale hand to his lips. They brushed my skin and he stared at my shocked face, humor and hope in his gold eyes. I hoped he didn't see the sad familliarness in my eyes, it was about to leak onto my facial expression.
I turned sharply away. Greatfully, my bangs hid half of the side of my face that was crying. Stiffly, I walked to where I came from, and smiled at everyone, specifically avoiding his stare, and waved. I called into the darkness,"Thank you! I had fun, I know I'll come back some time! You better explain yourselves next time!" And wih that, words flew from my lips. It was wicked...strange...beautiful.
Come with me my butterfly
Run with me, fly with me.
Bring me home, you see why...
The Hell Butterfly flew to me, and as it circled me I saw everones face. One stood there, tortured and hurt, making tears squeeze through run. Tears fell again, and when it finally hit the ground the butterfly's dust had swept me away.
And as I was falling back home through the darkness, I saw an image of my face; older, prettier, and the image grew. Sitting beside me, was Tristian. And I kept staring at his face, he was reaching out to the older me, his eyes the same gold as before. My heart was ripping apart as I saw the other me fade into a fair lady, totally skank looking. She looked away from him to me. She laughed, almost like she could see me.
The skank leaned in to press her lips to his. It was as though a scream ripped through my soul. It was so odd! I didn't know her! Why do I care who he kisses?!? From deep inside, I felt the horrible sense of deja vu.
Its because it is one of your memories.
I felt cold, I kept falling, I knew something awful, I knew I wasn't me...
I remembered something completely different, totally opposite of who I am. I saw myself....
Our True Forms

Lupin's POV

The sun hung overhead. Even in the darkness there was light. Hana was laying beside me, and it was starting to get warmer. She wouldn't need her feathers anymore. I stretched till my paws reached the edge of the shadows.
Slowly, as they inched towards sunlight, my paws began to fade into fingers. I watched in awe as they finally transformed into hands. This was all going on while Rowan slept.
I stared at the trees surrounding us. Rowan...
Hana's feathers started to drop off of her, slowly falling. Soon, her fair skin showed through. When she was no longer a beak-head, I touched her forehead. Black eyes looked at me from under suddenly open lids. Her hair spikey around the edges, her eyes crinkled as she smiled. My smile was brief.
"Where did our little bird go?" Hana sighed, her smile now gone.
"She went back, and we need to tell her some of what's happening." I rolled my eyes. It felt good... It felt human.
She closed her eyes. "What an eager little thing. You'd think she'd at least recognize us. Now we're friends all over again!" As if she was still a swan, Hana puffed up a bit.
"Its tough on all of us, Han. We know who Milady is and what happened to us. Rowan just can't remember at this moment." I sat straighter, knowing it hurt me, too.
Rowan, remember Milady, remember...you mustn't come back yet...we'll save you...
Hana stopped cold. One of her get-this-idea scary faces was on. Oh brother...Her black eyes sparkled in the shadows. "I have an idea! We'll explain... in a way..." she trailed off as she rose from the ground.
When Hana turned to smile at me, she stepped into the sunlight. "On the other side." Everywhere I looked, a white light surrounded the girl.
I suddenly comphrehended what she said. The other side...
"We'll explain... everything...And finally save her." For the first time in a long time I smiled a real smile. Wolfier and sharper than my original one. Finally...we'd be together at last.

Explain. Now.

I just sat there, staring at the wall. It was exactly 5:59 in the morning, my first day of school. I shuddered at the thought, unwilling to get out from under my down blanket. Shivering, I rolled over, to stare into familliar black eyes beside me. They were those of a girl my age, and she had almost snow white skin, like mine but more solid. Her hair was as black as her eyes, and down to shoulders.
Something about this girl in my bed shook my half-asleep brain awakw. There were three children, running to a little girl in a large field. One of the three children, This girl! , held out a piece of candy. That little girl that sat in the field turned with gray eyes, which lightened to a blue. An ice blue.
When that memory faded my senses jolted back into reality. That girl! That girl! Shes laying next to me!!!!
The girl smiled at me, showing perfect little teeth. I gasped. I would know that smile anywhere! "Hana, not to be rude but where the hell did you come from and why the crap aren't you a swan?!" I squeaked.
Hana's smile only grew, "I came to see you. You know, I thought we could go to school together." Her laugh was gentle,and I knew she didn't want me to scream. But I was about to pass out. I think she expected as much, and shook me a little.
You wanted us to explain, right? We're here to explain and see you,since we are human too! So get off your ass and get dressed or I'm leaving and won't go to high school with you. And it's my first time, too. She puffed up a little at the end.
I was amazed she could still do that. I whispered, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect to wake up to a girl that I didn't think I knew and have a frigg'n heart attack on the first damn day of school." I started to cry from leftover shock. Wow, I'm a crybaby.Nice way to start the day!
She came closer to me and gave me a hug. I wrapped my arms around her, I never did that
