You know I didn't mean to hurt everyone that much. I guess I need to do better on controlling my capability of inducing pain. Last thing I want to do is cause someone that was innocent too much pain. Although I have to admit that was a pretty good distraction. My bright cerulean eyes shift upwards to notice the nod of understanding from the male that as soon as he scatters out of the tree and leap onto one of the shopping store's roof, I manage to take my leave as well. Calmly and quietly I continue walking as everyone around me runs and flails about. Easily I allow myself to be immersed with the crowd, moving along with the pushes and shoves, until I finally manage to leave the outlet shopping center entirely and walk up a swanky looking street. The street lights are rather dim, but thankfully the Christmas lights help make up for the lack of light. Everyone seems to be moving their own way, with their hands filled with various packages and bags of all the purchases they made. Turning another corner I notice that there wasn't a soul here, which was actually nice for a change. You'd think a young girl like me would be afraid of walking down some barely lit up alley, but I'm not. Pretty darn sure my new skills are enough to allow me the chance to escape, and if that didn't work, while they fainted at the sight of me shifting into a horse, I'll be running away on four legs, not two.

I guess it is getting pretty late. I'll need to make it back to the barn to get some sleep before morning rounds. It's my turn to clean the stall and feed the horses before I make it in for my morning shift at Alexander's café. Maybe after work I can make it back here during the evening and pick up something for the Dark Hunters I've befriended. I'm not quite sure what I should get for them that was the whole point of tonight, but shopping for supernatural creatures that lived for ages and killed for a living â€" really was difficult. I am hoping the snow stays away for a little bit longer during these wintery months, but that harsh chill in the air really made me doubt that the snow won't be coming. With a soft sigh I grab my cell phone out from my pocket, taking note of the time, as I estimated my arrival to be home. It would be faster if I was in my horse form, but then I'd lose the clothes that I have and be sticking out like a sore thumb in this town. Looking upwards I notice that I am coming up on an individual that appears to be leaning up against the wall pretending to be nonchalant, oh how wonderful. As I get closer I hear him speak and with a shrug I reply with an air of indifference.

"Are you saying that I'd use my power to harm innocent people? Of course not."

It is a bad thing if a supernatural creature harmed a human. After learning from my Great Uncle the Do's and Don'ts of staying alive as a were-animal, harming a human was the number one 'do not' rule. I haven't seen him since my first night of changing. I know I should eventually make my way back to him, but I cannot bring myself to do it. I don't want to hear him claim that he was right. I don't want to listen to him berate me or make me feel inferior. I don't want to constantly look over my shoulder and wonder is he going to give me a lecture or kill me on the spot. He doesn't like my kind, and I don't think he'll ever see me as just me anymore. Nope. I'm just some scary horse. I'm no longer his Great Niece. I don't know who this guy is, so I don't want to admit that I really did hurt those people. I mean they aren't hurting anymore and nobody died. Still, can't be too careful. I've seen and heard about supernatural creatures selling out their own kind, and tonight I just didn't feel like being betrayed by my own kind - again. I do stop in front of him now, after all he is talking to me, so I should be nice. With a shrug of my shoulders I reply politely.

"Why did you ask me to help keep you hidden? Besides, the addition of your leaves seemed to make the salad taste better."
