The Love Of A Shifter (Closed)

[Lady_Jade666]

There was a thing about life, it was mysterious and no one knew what life had to offer. It's kind of hard to be able to know what lives on planet earth. Some believe in aliens and some believe in big foot. But what if there truly was something else living on earth with them, They were known as shifters and every last one was hunted because of what they did. They always killed people and took on there forms, which was a huge problem for a certain group a group that has hunted Shifters for hundreds of years, they call themselves the claws. They hate shifters and have been known to kill even children that were shifters, sadly because they had been hunted for hundreds of years, there was only one left, a man who has been hiding from them for a very long time. Sadly for him however he had befriended a very nice girl he celebrated her 20th birthday with her. Her name was Maggie Rose. Maggie had a huge heart and saw the beauty In everything, Maggie had known him for a couple years now and felt that they were pretty close. Though she knew that he hid things from her. But Maggie never pushed, she figured that he would tell her in his own time. She never pushed him and when ever he wasn't comfortable with a topic she dropped it, that was how she was. Her grey eyes got deep grey when upset or pissed, and went light when she was very happy.

She had known him for a while and was starting to have feelings for him, but she hid them since he was much older then she was. Maggie was afraid to bring it up because if she had, then she was afraid it would damage or destroy the relationship that she had, which meant everything to her. But on a particular day she didn't know things were about to change, she was the type of girl that took life day by day. Didn't worry about the past or future just the present, it was nice to not have to worry about anything. Which was true in her case. Her parents died when she was fifteen years old, she had to go to a judge to get emancipated since she was very mature for her age. She was granted that because her parents had a fund for her. Her parents were worth well over five hundred thousand, but she wasn't greedy with her money. She actually donated one hundred thousand to a homeless shelter and a animal shelter. She had more money then she would or could spend because she wasn't a materialistic girl, she wasn't into video games or expensive booze or food. She was Maggie, the girl with the grey eyes and pitch black hair that went to her hips. Always in a braid to keep her air neat, one day they were walking around the park.

The park was beautiful in the fall she loved how the leaves changed and the smell of fall was wonderful as well, everything was going beautifully. As they walked she remembered the first day they met. She had tripped and was on the ground, her knee was bleeding and everyone ignored her accept him. She had noticed a handsome looking guy grabbing something from his bag which was a handkerchief and wrapped it around her knee. He helped her up and helped her home, they seemed to connect instantly because when she got home and before he left she had given him her number. She had figured he wouldn't ever call her, but he did the next day, ever since then the were inseparable and grew close rather fast to. She smiled holding his hand as she snapped out of her memory and looked up at him, curious as to what he was thinking in that moment, he was easy to read most of the time, but something seemed to be on his mind. So to lighten the mood she decided to talk, she was the kind of girl that didn't like to talk to much to anyone but him. Maggie sighed softly and squeezed his hand.

"I've been thinking about the past a lot, the day we met. You ever think of it?

 

[TertiusHuman]

Andrew focused on Maggie when she squeezed his hand, his mind being on quite different things than the past. He frowned slightly at her question, then nodded after a few moments a slight smile coming to his lips.

"Yes, I can remember. I don't know how you got on the ground when I almost fell over you, but I helped you up after trying to make a bandage out of a handkerchief. I walked you home and you gave me your number. Must say, it was the fastest I ever received a number from somebody outside of work."

He chuckled and glanced around them, "I must have missed a date, it seems a bit busier than usual."

Andrew in fact was one of the last of his kind, a supernatural creature called a Shifter. Creatures who usually killed a person and took their identity, look and even general mannerisms. Humans called Hunters, hunted these creatures with extreme prejudice. The only reason Andrew was the last one remaining, was due to a genetic defect, he was a hybrid. More Shifter than human, but still he had a human side and this side made him an outcast among his own specie.

He had never killed anybody in his life, he had studied people and when he knew he could never run into them, he had shifted into them. But the Hunters did not know it, nor did they care. To them he was a Shifter and that was it.

She smiled as he spoke, she loved the sound of his voice it was smooth and almost velvet kind of voice. She began to wonder what would happen to them. Life was something no one could controll, but she knew she had feelings toward him. She squeezed him a little. "I remember that day, my leg had a moment of weakness and could no longer keep me up. But that day was everything because we found each other" she said with love and pride in her tone.

It always amazed her how love worked. She had no idea she could love someone so much that it almost hurt. But did he know of her feelings? She sat down on a bench they were by and sighed, a sigh of frustration she had no clue if she should tell him. Looking up into his eyes she smiled,

"You need to know something " her voice had a little fear in it.

But instead of saying what she wanted she asked.

"Andrew what do you think about me? The question simple and would help her decide

 

[TertiusHuman]

He didn't sit down next to her, instead he studied the people going along their business and then sat down, "Seems like you had a moment of weakness again." He murmured with a soft chuckle.

He noticed that something bothered her, in fact, she's been brooding the whole morning and he looked at her, only blinking when she asked her question. "What do I think of you?"

He leaned back into the backrest of the bench, "Is that what's been eating you today?"

He patted her hand, "Or do you need courage to ask something else?"

He inspected her for a few moments, "Well, you are smart, caring, giving, funny, a thinker, a frowner when you focus, driven, difficult and at times a bit of a hothead."

He tapped his lips with his forefinger, "I must have left something out... Ah yes, even if I may not say so under the Friendship Act, you're pretty and sexy as well."

 

[Lady_Jade666]

She smiled at him while he said what all he had to say it made her realize maybe he felt the same, it would be up in the air but she smiled at him. Thinking how he made her feel. Everything inside her made her want to kiss him. Her heart pounding it was incredible looking into his eyes she softly sighed. Looking down for a few moments and then looked into those eyes of his.

"Sharing my emotions is something I'm not good at, never have been. I'm even more shy because of you. My world stops when you are by my side, like I can do anything and I love the feeling. I find you attractive and very sweet. I have feelings for you, I've been in love with for a couple of months now, I love how you treat me, and how my heart flutters when you're near. " she found it hard for her to look in those eyes. But she did and made her blush but she smiled holding onto his hand

"I love you Andrew you are my everything"

It was then she heard music being played and she knew the tune, the song being played, now was the time to go all out. She stood up and motioned for him to stay, she walked over to the group playing and gave them some money and whispered something to them, they nodded and she turned around looking at Andrew, she took a deep breath and the melody began being played. She knew this was probably a bad idea but once she said she loved him something opened up inside her, giving her courage

Shatter Me Song

She got so into the song she began to just move with the beat, and every time she sang "Shatter Me" She bent down a bit and pulled an amazing voice out of her, but she kept her eyes on Andrew. She didn't know how he was going to react, or even act around her now, but he meant everything to her heart was in control. As the song ended she panted softly, her hand on her stomach.

What would he say? How would he act...?

 

[TertiusHuman]

To say that he was shocked, would have been an understatement, first she dropped those words that he had never thought he would hear from a person and then she went over to a small group of musicians and actually performed a song, right in front of everybody, for him.

He just stared at her, then realized that people was staring at them, clearly expecting him to react to the song. What would a normal person do? He could also feel the itch starting under his skin. He knew what had to be done, so he took a deep breath and got up. A slight silence came over the people watching. He walked over to her and leaned forward, whispering so that only she could hear, "You do know that it sounds like you are telling everybody that I am shattering you right?"

He gave her a grin and right there, in front of everybody, he did something he never thought he would do.

He kissed her

 

[Lady_Jade666]

She smiled and let out a soft laugh looking into those eyes as she noticed them leave once he reacted, her heart almost stopped when he walked up to her. Time seemed to stop it was a nice feeling and her heart pounding.

"You shattered my shell Andrew that's what that meant, the shell I protect myself in, where I take no chances" She said softly. But when she felt arms around her and his lips onto hers, her heart seemed to beat again She held onto him, she returned the kiss after a second of being very surprised. When the kiss stopped looking into his eyes she smiled.

"I am here for you Andrew no matter what" there was one thing about her, one thing she hoped the Andrew knew is that she really could be trusted, she cared for him, she loved them. She wanted to be with him, but deep down she felt like there was a darkness inside him, a darkness said he is hiding, but now she wants to know what he is hiding from looking into his eyes, she smiled at him and hope to God that one day he would tell her.

" Andrew, I've known you for a while. Now we've known each other at least a year and when I go to topics that you don't want to answer, I don't push, but I hope one day you can see me where the IV now on things that you won't tell me things you're afraid to tell me I love you and nothing . We'll stop that I just wish I could prove it to you."

 

[TertiusHuman]

He gave her a slight smile, giving her hands a light squeeze, "Well those things are the things that I suppress for a reason. It is not that I don't want to tell you, the thing is that I don't even want to believe it of myself and it is even harder to talk about it."

He took out some cash and gave it to the group as well, "Now if you would be so kind, I am kind of hungry and you have placed me on the spot in front of a lot of people so they expect a romantic gesture. So a lunch date it is and no you didn't pressure me into it, I just want to eat and of course share some of your company."

He offered his arm to her

 

[Lady_Jade666]

She blushed a little bit and added he was right. That was for sure, when he offered her his arm, she took it happily and thought for a moment I launch date would be nice since they didn't do a lot together so we figured it was his job, but she wanted to really get to know him to show that no matter what he can rely on her. She did know it was very hard to rely on someone, so she understood where he was with that he could have been hurt, she does not know and doesn't really want to force it out of him, either. I walked into a nice little diner, a little place that they met one time ago, she was thinking of a cheese burger, the best cheese burgers in the area were in this place they were shown to a booth and she sat on one side and smiled up at him.

" That's why I try not to have asked any questions about you, I figure that on so you would tell me to have no no matter what I like, I say im your friend. Can reminds me of a song I heard a long time ago, about no matter what you had a place to go a shoulder to cry on it. My job to make you laugh. To care for you, maybe then make you cry to quiet a good way, you know like laughing so hard you crying over cry because they're seeing a really good movie and it moves both of us both. So, canyou tell me something I don't know already since you know me, I don't cry, I try not to, anyway.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He looked at the Menu and pushed it aside, "Tell you what you don't know..."

He pondered for a moment.

"I have an intense fear of fire. I am quite sure that you didn't know that."

He smiled at her, "But you see, I know you, but I don't know you that well. We will have to explore each other as we go along."

 

[Lady_Jade666]

She hated it when he teased her like that, she smiled back at him. She was a spirited girl that much he should know by now. Everything seemed perfect in that moment and was already enjoying there time together. He was kind, cute and a man I of great mystery she knew all to well. She ordered some red wine for a drink and then a steak dinner, it was times like this she wished she could read minds something like that would come in handy.

"That's how anyone starts smart ass" She chuckled happily.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He ordered a diet drink along with a hamburger and extra helping of chips. He smiled at her quip, "True, but not everybody starts off by getting serenaded in the park."

He grinned and leaned slightly forward, "Did I tell you that I studied to become a teacher? History especially."

 

[Lady_Jade666]

She watched him and found herself blushing, the way he looked at her, made her feel wonderful. "History? That's cool always loved history when I was in school." She found that interesting. He had never told her before. She loved to talk to him he was the kind of guy she had always wanted to be with and this was a good thing, to discuss things they had never done. She was enjoying the meal and having a great time with him like she always did.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He started with his chips, eating them with the knife and fork, cutting them into smaller portions before eating them with the fork. He dismantled the burger, eating the top bun, cutting it up as well, working his way through the patty and ending up eating the bottom bun after having eaten the garnish as a salad.

He dabbed at his lips with the napkin and grinned at her, "If you are going to tease me about eating that way, you should see me eat soup."
