Everything had happened so fast, it was almost as if she were in a dream and just observing. Observing the men in the van. Observing Marcus change mid-leap into a Wolf. Observing herself as she stood in the alley entrance, almost glowing, uttering some incantation and seeming to stop time, or warp reality. Had she really done that? Observing herself and Marcus as a Wolf running, into the alleys, into the shadows.
It all felt surreal...
Until he changed back, into Marcus the man, right in front of her, laying his hands gently on her shoulders.
"How... do you know how you did that? I think you just saved my life. Those men had silver weapons. They were not afraid of me."
Lina shook her head. She was not sure how she did what she did, or how she even knew the words. But they came naturally to her, she had not even been thinking, just reacting to what was happening. "I... don't know. I saw you, I saw them, I heard the sound, I thought you were... were hurt..." her voice wavered. What would she do if he got hurt? Just the thought made her heart almost ache, sending a cold shiver cascading through her.
"We have to assume they'll come looking for us again, with different tactics. Do you know why they are hunting us?"
Again she shook her head.
"They didn't know what I was before I changed. They were after you, not me. You have powers, powers that these people want to exploit. I think my searches on the internet might have triggered an alarm, along with the image searches. It's your eyes. They do kind of stand out."
"My... eyes?"
She had been about to ask him about what he had searched on that screen just before she started feeling that ominous sensation. Just before that van had shown up.
He was still holding her shoulders, and she stepped into his embrace, wrapping her arms around him, just wanting to feel him close, feel his heartbeat. She didn't care what he was inside, a Beast, a Wolf, mattered not to her. She was just glad he was safe, and it was not lost on her he was willing to fight, and maybe even die, to protect her...
"What was it you saw when you searched about my eyes? Are my eyes black? And something about Tattoos? Marcus..." she stayed against his chest as she lifted her dark eyes to look up at him, the black again swirling, almost like a vortex of shadows, displaying her distress, her body trembling against him only accenting her fear even further.
Lina herself had never even looked in the mirror at the Salvation Army shelter and the volunteer had not thought anything of the tattoos she had glimpsed on her back.
"Tell me what you are thinking, please.. I need to know"... she was not sure she wanted to hear what he was thinking. But she was getting the inkling that she was not normal. Like him, there was something different about her. She'd been able to bend reality and halt it completely for a few minutes. She had no idea how or why though.

"Sir, we've hit a complication"
"Explain"
"The subject we were after, she is definitely a Being, whether Demonic or Angelic, I am not sure. But she displayed the ability to warp reality. I've seen it before, when we captured that Demon, Goroth, last year"...
"Does she present as Demonic?"
"Not sure, my guess is she is a fallen Angel, but you know we can't be sure until she is captured and tested"
"What else"
"It appears she is protected by a Werewolf"
"What? She bonded with a Werewolf? How.... Interesting... Head back to base, we will discuss further"
"Yes Sir"
