Chapter 1
Between the edges of madness and sanity , at the borders of order and chaos , lies the human being .Life is a constant negotiation of reality with one's senses . New and exciting experiences aren't viewed with great pleasure or enthusiasm .
I was clutching my fiance's hands hard , while also holding my feet firmly on the airplanes floor .
I Had my eyes closed and still I knew he was sleeping . I wasn't even mad at him , more like disappointed in my resolution , my nerves .
A week spent over relieving my pressures , reassurances that all would go well . That it's in the astronomical chances of any kind of bad incident to savage my vacation .
Looking outside myself . I should not be so much like a cat staring at a lion . I am thousands of feet in the air making a journey that would have taken days if not months barely a century past , was now over in three and a half hours .
The instincts of my beast , of that mythical creature , were on the edge of panic . Something knew and so alien to the beast , that it cannot comprehend . Or it could be the lack of control over its situation . over reality .
No I wasn't afraid that I could be wolfing out , in a metal can , filled with about hundred people . Maybe just a little . Honest .
My mother’s voice comes to mind , carrying those words we had on the week of preparation for this vacation . Don't worry about this , don't sweat about that . I remember her face in motion , assurances made by those thin lips . her round brown eyes not shaking . Trying , to inspire some modicum of confidence in myself . to dust away of dark from the unknown future with promises of fun , of the wonderful memories to be made . Made me feel like a little girl getting ready for some field trip . That's close comparison if you don't take into account the metal monstrosity that has me in its belly , right now .
Here on the edges of the storm and the quiet , it's very much a pain to think . To move forward .
There is no choice to be made here on how I should feel , then again some state of being aren't a rational thing . So we cast an anchor reality , an anchor made out of other people's words , or the calm firm touch of someone you trust and love .
If only he was awake to anchor me this moment .
The blame might be laid at my feet and my uncharacteristic haste , this morning . sigh .
Are you holding it in?
said the voice next to my left in almost a whisper .
A short and stupid what ?
came out of my mouth .
You're ready to tear the arms of that seat . And your legs look glued to the floor .
Some other dumb word ripped its way free ready to smear my good name ohhh right .
The bathroom is right there
he nodded towards the front of the plane . I think they are clean
Don't say that out loud
I said to him in a whisper , without meeting his face I am just a bit flustered by flying .
Taking a piss in a bottle is gonna be a hard task here .
I nodded , keeping my blood from boiling of my face , than got up slowly and walked down the pass like some high wire artist walking on a rope that's been fasten between two mountains .
I fumbled at the door for a laughable moment than rushed in and got stuck trying to close it behind me . I was failing to understand the most basic of the closing mechanism . The more the seconds passed the more my grasp on reality slipped .
The door splayed open and I was confronted with an angry elder women . Her grey eyebrows furrowed . The wrinkles of her old age making deeper grim canyons all around the eyes . She flung some words at me but I could not catch them , language was hard to understand but her body’s energy and posture conveyed me her disappointment at my fumbling motions . She might have thought I was also drunk . Took some focusing and slowing down my breathing to form just one almost pathetic word : Sorry
She let me try my hand again at getting the door to closed , not without some parting words , met for herself . I eventually managed to close myself from the rest of the world and stare at my reflection just above the sink .
Shock swept over me as I noticed my eyes were of a bright orange , instead of the normal sky blue . and beyond them . Beyond me into the snowing landscape .
It has been some weeks since a snowstorm that bad , since I last worn in the hunter’s skin . The wolf was staring back at me , she was backed into the corner of my mind . Angry at me for ignoring her for so long .
You can’t find many times to go furry in this modern life of mine , unless you are into that kind of fetish .
I didn't want to revisit that form . The memories tied to it , my failures .
Accusations stabbed at my guts and made contents of this mornings modest breakfast jet its way down into the toilet bowl .
I splashed some cold water on my face than gurgled some in hopes of getting rid of the burning sensation inflaming my throat . I bared my teeth and took another look at the mirror . At myself at the hunter in me .
My blue was back in the irises , but my face seemed paler than usual , the long red hair frayed at the edges despite my memory disputing the claims of it being tousled right now .
I had the usual morning grooming session just hours past , like any other morning .
Get to the core of the problem
I whispered with wavering conviction .
Flashes of memories like a badly put together movie , rolled its content , frame after frame across the mind's eye a bit too fast to focus on any particular one .
A ferocious bear standing claws stretched to the snowing skies .
Asha , my mother , holding me tight to her chest , sweet smell of tears on her face .
An almost twenty year old guy , an animal panic in his eyes , my claws reaching for his throat .
On their surface I found my furry face snarling with rage . Was I salivating after his blood ?
Five hundred pounds of sin was nibbling at the windows .
All I said was still on in .
Don't eat me
Please , don't gobble up my soul .
The wolf came in , I got my cards
We sat down for a game
I cut my deck to the queen of spades but the cards were all the same .
Clear cold water washed my skin of any more fears and or doubt .
I existed the tiny bathrooms to go , without any complaints from nearby passengers and with a more sturdy stride made back to my seat .
You should watch a movie !
said Shaun .
What movie ?
I asked , easing into my seat .
I think they are showing brave heart . You should open your eyes it's getting to the good bits .
Did she die already ?
I said holding my face steady in both palms .
Their in the woods . the son of god is giving Mel his blessing .
said Shaun with no hint of mischief in his voice .
Is his face painted or not ?
I asked , still holding down a feeling of dizziness .
It’s close to the battle .
I guess I can take a peek at Mel Gibson .
He leaned into me , warm cheek touching mine , I opened my eyes wide and fixed my gaze upon the small screen in the chair in front of me Gibson was having a talk with the one with crazy eyes , the one who talks with God .
I turned away having seen that movie once or twice before .
He needs some paint before his gonna take on the British .
I told my fiance .
He's gonna need better insults than an ass in the air .
Isn't that the point of the insult ? I said .
Risking a shot in the butt cheeks look at ass you're barely worth a fart ."
Come to think of it what better way to diss from a distance , then to show the bare ass . the middle finger might as well be an African swallow from such distances
he said .
Do you think they also sent drawn asses to unwanted kings ?
I mouthed the words the same time imagining grown man holding wide grins behind palms , while thin sheets of paper were passed around depicting badly drawn asses .
No , of course it wouldn't be a finely detailed ass on that paper , not even close . And still I laughed , and I smiled with him . The conversation veered through many points of cultural mishaps and poking holes in popular movies we saw this decade .
And the world fell away until it was required for us to be moving again .
Chapter 2
I had all this weekend planned out , for the most part . All the stops and what to view , when to not sleep and dance or gaze at the stars . And by all the hell it will go smooth or else .
The accommodations weren't lavish , but then again I am not the queen of England , just puny editor on the lowest scale of pay . The important facts were I was here and have Shaun by my side , we were gonna enjoy what little time and small pleasure we could snatch up .
Was refreshing myself in the small bathroom of the room that me and my boyfriend rented for about a week . It was only a shower , not a tub , hmmm. It's all clean at least , even if it's a bit lacking in utilities .
I am having a migraine or something equally painful crunching on my head from all sides . Nothing a good cup of coffee can't fix I guess.
Good morning sugar.
With a groggy voice Shaun said . He rubbed at his face to shoo the dreams away . That bright shapely face , clean and smooth .
Good morning precious . I am first in the shower .
You could share
he snorted .
Nope . First come first served .
You are an ice cube on very heated morning. What's up ?
I pondered it for a bit and it all pointed to me rushing a bit to get the morning dose of coffee , and the fact that I made a schedule for us on this week trip .
Need to be fast precious . So will take turns .
Doesn't make sense . If we get in both will finish in double the time .
Not with that smirk on your lips .
He smirked with his shiny blue eyes holding back a mischievous thought , not quite awake yet .
Had a cold night ?
he asked wiping away at motes of dreams .
Wake up too early Hun .
I retorted slipping off my nightgown , my fair complexion shimmered in the morning light . I didn't close the door , took of my
