Ajax replied quietly, "I got used to the pain a long time ago. It's the kind of pain that feels... I don't know, exquisite; a good pain. I've never minded pain much anyways. If you shrunk to your size divided by ten or stretched to a size twice your human body and grew fur in one minute, you would understand." He grinned, remembering the first time he'd changed, and the horror he'd had at the weird feeling, wondering if he'd be able to shift back.

Brooke smiled. She stayed quiet as Ajax recalled some memory in his mind. "You're so lucky...you don't have to worry about killing people when you get extremely angry because you have to shape-shift before you can injure them..." she whispered turning away and remembering the first man she had ever hurt...he was still in the hospital on life support and never would be allowed to get out. She felt a tear run down her face.

"I'm sorry," Ajax said, seeing the tear and taking her hand. He rubbed her knuckle with his thumb and with the other hand wiped the tear away. "I can hurt people in this form. I have. If they hurt animals.... What happened?... How did you hurt whoever you hurt?"

Brooke wiped away the tears that were beginning to fall down her face. "I lost control....I've never done anything so frightening in all my life...out of nowhere this freak storm came out of the lake...the man shouldnt have been stabbing the poor wolf....he was just so mean to it...there were bloodstains everywhere....I just couldnt control my rage....this huge bolt of lightning just came down and struck the ground right in front of him...between him and the wolf....then this huge storm just wrapped around him and darn near killed him....." she shakily said, then realized something as she looked at Ajax's stunned face. She smiled. "It was you wasnt it?...You were the wolf I saved that day...I knew you looked familiar." she whispered in her still dead voice.

"I always wondered... you looked familiar too." He rubbed his temples. "This is all too weird. Thank you for saving me." He shuddered as he remembered the scars that still showed on any body he shifted into. He'd been closer to death than ever that day.

Brooke smiled. "I'm glad I did it...but that man...I have never used my power in that quanity ever again. I keep it locked up deep inside of me....that way I don't use it for anything. I try not to play with lighting....it only hurts." she said, a tear running down her face again because she had such a deadly power.

Ajax scooted closer and brushed the hair out of Brooke's face. "That's smart," he whispered.

"yeah I guess, but the problem is that I LIKE the lightning..its my favorite thing to play with...and I cant because the one time i did...thats what happened....oh well, lets get outta here. I want to go horse riding." she said, trying to sit up again, hoping Ajax had forgotten she could barely move.

"I've always loved lightning too. Brooke, you don't have the energy. You'll hurt yourself. How about we just go on a walk? I can carry you. And then we can go in the forest and you can ride me if you want."

Brooke sighed. "Fine." she said. 'At least I get outta this place' she thought to herself. She slowly got out of her bed and, with Ajax's help, walked out of the door.

Ajax easily scooped Brooke up in his arms and carried her down the stairs and towards the forest. "Just tell me if you want me to change into a horse," he said.

Brooke furrowed her brows at Ajax. "i can walk. Put me down" she said stubbornly. Ajax carefully set her down, and Brooke started to shakily walk. She was breathing heavy after only a few steps, but she kept walking. "So.....what have you been doing as a wolf all this time?"

Ajax kept a steadying hand on Brooke's back. "I... don't really remember," he said, his brow furrowed. "Long periods like that... I lose myself." He shook his head. "How about you? What'd you do while I was gone?"

"I wondered what you were doing....." she lowered her voice. "and Ive been fighting. What you see now....this is the result." she said. "What are you talking about??? I dont see anything different except you being completely drained." he said. "Use your magic vision." she said quietly. He did and it was utter chaos in the magic world. "A lot of that magic that is loose has to do with me...." she said quietly. "I've been busy." she said, hobbling out the door towards the park.

Ajax stared. "Fighting what?" he asked, holding the door for her and walking next to her slowly.
