#Chapter 240: Shifted

Moana

“Edrick?” I called out.

My voice was only met with nothing but an echo. The world around me was silent… In fact, as my eyes slowly opened, I realized that I was no longer on the cliff. The only thing that I could see around me was a soft, golden light that was somehow blinding yet calming at the same time.

Was this what it was like to be dead?

The last thing I could remember was the blood on my fingers. Michael must have stabbed me and finally got his way, and now I was dead.

I quickly looked down at my hands. There was no blood. No pain… In fact, I didn’t feel anything at all. I could hardly tell where my skin ended and the golden light began. My body felt weightless and free, like my entire existence was just a feeling and not a physical mass.

But it was strange. When I was in my coma, everything was just a black void. But now, it was all golden and peaceful.

“No.”

I jumped when I heard my wolf’s voice call out from the golden light.

“Mina?” I asked, looking around wildly. “Is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Her voice seemed to be echoing all around me at first, but then it started to coagulate into one place. Finally I could pinpoint where her voice was coming from, and I spun around in that direction.

My eyes widened when I finally saw her standing there for the first time… In the flesh.

“Mina,” I whispered, reaching out my hands as she slowly approached me. “You’re so… beautiful.”

She was everything that I imagined, and more. Her fur was a beautiful, vibrant golden color, like the color of the sun. She had a little white swirl on her forehead that came down her muzzle in a thin line. That same white patch was on the front of her chest.

When I tangled my fingers into her fur, it was so silky and soft. It felt as though I was touching feathers, or nothing at all.
