The rain continued on for hours. I didn't think it would ever stop. I sat there leaning my back against the wall trying to figure out what was next. Shany left to find some food in the city. I stayed behind to ponder my mind a little. I had no clue what I was doing. Where was I headed? Where do I even go next? I could be going in circles for all I know! I didn't know what to do. It was bad enough to travel alone. When it's just you things get very lonely. I guess Shany knows exactly how I feel. But I wonder why he's travelling. I wonder where he is going. He seems like a nice guy. At that moment a flash of lighting struck somewhere and loud thunder roared from the sky. I jumped up a little and started thinking again I haven't seen weather like this in a long time. I was cold and shivering down to the bone. My clothes were still wet and my hooded robe was as well. I didn't know how I would ever dry off and even when I had to go back out there when I was going to leave.

Suddenly I saw a dark shadow appear on the wall. There was a scent in the air but it got harder to tell since the rain covered up the tracks easily. I stayed alert until I heard something fall. It was in the way farther back part of the building. I didn't know if I should get up and check or should I have stayed put until Shany came back. But then I heard a few more loud bangs. Whoever it was, was actually trying to get my attention. I thought it was better to just stay put and wait. This person was making it too obvious. I don't know their plan but I think they wanted something from me. Was it attention? Or possible just a weirdo trying to freak me out? It could have also been someone trying to start trouble. I still sat there trying to ignore the sound but then I got to thinking what if it was Damion? I never liked the boy. He was some weird boy from my school. He always tried getting my attention and to top it all off he was a jockey. He played sports and he's convinced that every girl chased after him. If some girls weren't interested in him like me then he would say we were playing hard to get. That was not the case at all. Damion has liked me for a very long time and I find no interest in him. Ever since the Night of the Purple Moon he's been a stalker. My spirit animal was a wolf and his was apparently a lion. His motto was "Roar like a lion and be like a lion! Then your king!" He too gave up the human life and ran off. For a while he stalked me but then left and came back once in a while. I couldn't focus with all the racket. The rain wasn't helping and neither was the constant sound of stuff being banged and thrown around. I turned my head around looking outside again. I couldn't think of much. The same questions
ran through my head over and over. I really didn't have a plan and it all was just so confusing.

The banging noise had stopped. I turned my head again about to look in the other direction where the banging sound was coming from. At that moment I was slammed to the ground and as I looked up I saw him. He still had that stupid looking grin on his face that he always had when he was happy. No it was more of a smirk this time. His golden tail with the furry tip at the end was swaying around happily. His golden round ears atop of his head shined as the water glistened and fell from them. "Damion get off of me!" I yell. I struggle to get up but he's holding me to the ground. He starts laughing and says, "Its been a while Mizuki." His dumb goofy smile irritated me. It seemed taunting and flat-out annoying. I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible. "Let me go! I told you before stop bothering me and leave me alone!" I start screaming at him. "Hahaha you know my motto. And since I'm the king I get what I want." He tightened his grip as I growled at him. Damion started laughing again and then I felt his weight lifting free from me. His grip loosened and the next thing i saw was him getting thrown into the ground. I looked to my side and it was Shany. He had slammed into Damion and knocked him into the ground.

Disbelief was in mine's and Damion's face. But it was Damion who was truly shocked. To think that Shany was that strong. No one I knew could ever push Damion down like that. Not even people on his football team could push him down easily! He looks at me and says, "You alright?" I stand up and say, "Yeah I'm fine, thanks." I looked at Damion who stood up and snarled. He than says, "So who the hell are you!?" Shany looks at him and says, "I should ask you the same thing." Damion was getting angrier each second. It's not just the fact that he was able to hit him like that but that Shany was protecting me. "Heh I don't like your smart little attitude." Damion says. "Yeah well I don't like how you treat young girls." replies Shany. And with that Damion charges into Shany. I backed up a little because I surely didn't want to get to involved with the fight. But then I felt a little guilty letting Shany get involved like this. For some reason I started blushing. It's not because 2 guys were fighting over me but it was just
something about how Shany came and protected me. Was that it? Damion got slammed into the ground again and Shany was standing there out of breath. I could imagine how hard that would be to slam into him like that. Damion got back up fast and seeing how Shany was still out of breath I stuck my foot out and Damion tripped over almost landing on his face. I couldn't help but laugh and so did Shany. Damion reached out to grab my foot but I jumped over him to the other side and then walks over to Shany.

The look on his face says it all. He was angry and wasn't going to lose no matter what. Damion was a fierce competitor. Especially when it came down to a fight over a girl. After school at the park a couple blocks down he would get down there. It was always about the women. That is what Damion thought at least. Shany wasn't going to lose. He too had a fierce look. I wasn't sure what to do. Should I stop this fight or let them finish it off. Shany couldn't handle slamming into Damion much more. If that did happen then Damion would get the upper hand and easily kill Shany if he wanted to which im pretty sure he would. Before I knew it Damion was charging into Shany again. This time Shany slid to the side and Damion almost bit him on the side. Shany growled at Damion and got down a little then he ran super fast and slashed Damion on both sides. While Shany was running Damion had reached out and grabbed Shany. He threw him into the ground and he walked close to Shany about to finish it. I apparently didn't think it out and ran straight towards Damion. He was about to grab me to but I slide to side and bit his shoulder. I had no clue what I was doing since I didn't come up with anything but I just tried my best of luck and hoped it would work out. Damion swung around but I wouldn't let go. Instead I bit deeper. I could taste his warm blood run through my mouth. Damion was about to ram me into a wall and I didn't have to react. I know he liked me and all but he didn't like losing that's for sure. Shany bit into Damion's arm and Damion had stopped running. How lucky am I today.
