((just so you know... you can't do that often-- keep it realistic-- this could cause drought, etc.)) Ajax automatically put his arm around Brooke, feeling the crackling energy on her skin and rubbing her arm with his calloused hands. Then he murmured into her hair,"You're amazing. No, that's pretty much the extent of my magic... except it has some bad repercussions, like when I'm in trouble... the animals respond and get hurt sometimes."

((yes I know....she just didnt want the night/moment ruined or w/e)) "The animals help you? Without you even asking?" she turned to look up into his face.

"Unfortunately, yes. I wish they wouldn't... it just puts them in danger. Does your power have any weird side-affects? When you're upset, does it storm? Or is it all intentional?"

Brooke looked down. "When my parents ditched me, I was really upset...you know the Great Hurricanes of 2005? And the tornadoes that ripped through the land...that was all me...I didnt mean to...the weather just seemed to want to get revenge on my family for me...it's the only time I have ever lost complete control over everything in me...I was so upset..." she buried her head in his shoulder and began to gently cry. She had never told anyone about that.

Ajax let her cry, holding her tightly and rubbing her back. He hated losing control too.. But it hadn't ever had as disastrous effects as the Hurricanes had. He had felt thousands of animal lives distinguish within weeks. He couldn't blame her for that, though.

Brooke sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry...it just cause so much devastation...all from me....that was before I even knew I had power...it just happened. That was when my teacher found me...."

Ajax looked down at her. "Who was.. or is.. your teacher?" he prompted her story on.

Brooke looked into the fire, as if remembering something. "Glairon....he found me lying in a cardboard box...I hadnt eaten in a week and i was trying to starve myself...thinking i didnt deserve to live....I have never felt more alone in my life....." she trailed off and snapped out of what seemed to be a trance. "Oh danggit i've said too much haven't I.....no I guess not....so what's your life story?"

"No. I love hearing about you. Hopefully you feel less alone now. Many people would be distraught if you tried to take that path again." He thought for a moment and responded to her question,"I don't remember much before I came here. Since then I've just been with my horses.. and the rest of the animals." He left it at that, staring into the fire and shutting out the animal thoughts he kept hearing.

Brooke looked over at the sleeping wolf. "Like him?" she asked. "you live with animals like him?"

"I live in my cabin, mostly. But yes, sometimes, I live with the animals." In a lower voice, he added,"Sometimes... I lose myself." Tenderly, he looked over at his packmember, one of his best friends.

"You lose yourself?" she asked tenderly. "How? Is that possible.....what happens?"

He looked away, almost ashamedly. "I... I become an animal, in mind and body. It's only happened a couple times and I can't remember what happens during the episodes. But Mari told me. I can turn on humans." He looked at Brooke then, challenging her to be afraid of him. She could see the barely harnessed wild in his eyes... he wasn't human, fully, that was a fact.

Brooke peered back into his eyes. "I'm not scared." she declared. "I would love you no matter what form you were in." she gasped and covered her mouth, surprised that the words had come out.

Ajax stared at Brooke, then whispered huskily, "And I you." With that, he put his arms around her and kissed her passionately. ((ooh!!! romance here!))
