Thomas regarded The wolf girl warily with his azure eyes she was most definitely on her way to a beauty of a hang over tomorrow but she still had some awareness it seemed “lets make it a duet whatcha say?” he asked her grinning coyly and handing over his guitar with a tiny bit of reluctance it was like his child to him after all

ascending the stage once more The Piper grabbed the microphone and announced her the way an m. c. would a fight " Ladies and gentleman! get ready to rock to a scorching song by none other then my good friend Jackie!" with this said the crowd roared in approval bowing graciously he gestured toward her as he walked backward grabbing a cherry red bass guitar and turning on a portable mic which he set into a second stand he looked to Jackie as the hot lights were upon them and awaited her cue.

Jackie smiled a bit, but shook her head. "Nah, I wanna sing..."
As soon as the lights hit her, sparkles drifted through the air, swirling around her. A shodow of Jackie flew back, and it showed her with a tail and wings...
Her voice began to flow. "Thomas, pick this up as soon as you can..."

"~He left me with the secret of his sin,
Told me of his love and of his pain.
I held him in my arms and let him bleed,
the day I lost everything
While a shadow smeared my heart.

He left me with a tainted life
and I don't know where to start.
To repair this hole he left in me, to repair my shattered...soul~!

~I see his face before my eyes
I hear his voice inside my head!
I feel his touch against my skin,
All I want is him...
Again!~

After the first verse, Jackie smiled a bit, stumbling slightly. But, her voice held a compulsion-like quality.

"~Insanity creeps up my steps
and knocks on my doors.
I refuse to answer this time,
but was tempted before.

It speaks of no more pain and blessed relief
of these sinful secrets
in my head
I let him give to me~"

~I see his face before my eyes
I hear his voice inside my head!
I feel his touch against my skin,
All I want is him...
Again!~

I look at what's in my hand, and think of the choices,
Lose his face and lose his voice,
or see him once again.

The dark smear on my heart no longer cries,
as I raise the object to my head, and end the horror of...
My life...

I see his face before my eyes
I hear his voice inside my head!
I feel his touch against my skin,
All I want is him...
Again!~."

The Piper's eyes grew wide the azure depths showing excitement so it wasn’t just the stage lights coloring her hair and eyes earlier and this new sound in her voice it was pulling the crowd in …darkening the whole vibe of the place

*ah hell* he thought as the thoughts in his head and feelings in his heart were even starting to become something he could rather well say he did not care for he had to do something and quick tuning the bass with more speed than he had ever before used he ripped into a ear shattering solo his fingers flying across the neck faster and faster the four strings blurring till there seemed to be nothing

the sound reverberated throughout the bar almost blowing the amplifier as he amplified the effect by singing a soothing yet still raucous ”HEY!!!!!” thus finishing up he hummed the last few chords in perfect unison as he played them beginning to see the crowd quiet down and enjoying themselves he stepped back once again letting Jackie sing to her heart’s content all of it transpiring within less than a minute

*so was this the past of her husband or what happened while I was away or both?* he wondered “sing your heart out Scooby just let it all go ol’ Tommy’s got ye” he said softly as he watched her phenomenal performance his hands easily keeping good technical rhythm with variations as the song demanded until it finally ended walking up to her he casually asked with a slight smile “music lessons?”

Jackie stopped, looking around her. Wow...That was fun! Jackie grinned, her teeth shining. Her canines were slightly enlarged, but the girl didn't notice. Seemed something was happening as she let her guard slip.
"Thanks!" she said, "and, yeah, kinda. I had my sister teach me a few things. And my...friend, he helped me out a bunch."
The girl sighed. The song was one she had written while she was away. Someone she had loved had...well, died in a not-so-pleasant way. She shook her head. No, she couldn't remember that! It would make her lose all she had worked for.
"Hey, I think I need to..." Jackie flopped over, her head spinning. Wow...no more hello kitties! "I'm drunk..." she said, laughing as someone rushed forward to pick her up. All she couild do was to flop into Thomas's arms and pray to god she wouldn't pass out. "You drive?"

Thomas rushed forward quickly noticing the signs as she landed in his arms her scent tickled his nose *sweet music she smells good Focus! * he thought lifting her he carried her as one would a bride “yeah Scooby I’ll drive hey talk with me stay awake hon“ he said something caught the light in his azure depths “your teeth huh…” running a finger over one of her canines he managed to prick his finger

“ah!” he murmured as a ruby droplet began to take form on his finger walking quickly eager to get home and sleep his path was blocked by two drunk bone heads one had short cropped black hair with a goatee tan skin brown eyes short and of powerful build the other had short cropped blond hair and was tall and lean with green eyes “ we can take her off yer hands pal” “yeah she looks heavy” they sneered Thomas’ azure eyes were unreadable as he grinned “let me pass please”

he said kindly as he began moving forward the first Neanderthal pushed him back “stay a bit man “ he said harshly “yeah share the wealth” the second goon chimed in as he eyed Thomas’ charge in a way the Piper knew was with less than friendly intentions and so he sang a special selection by Live his baritone smooth as snake oil

“I was thirsty for everything But water wasn't my style Guess we might have to teach me somethin' Guess we might have to show me how Relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song That's hidin' underneath the sound Let your eyes lose their focus a little Let your guard come down I was thirsty for everything but blood, wasn't my style!”


as the last note ended both guys fell to the floor their emotions in turmoil and their heads reliving the stuff of nightmares it would last until he exited the room The Piper chose to walk very very slowly “ Fools!” Thomas spat slightly enraged signaling Mungo He hissed quietly “clean that trash up would you please thanks bro see ya” Mungo grinned “ sure sure bye bro” walking over to their transportation for this evening Thomas set Jackie lightly over the seat of the bike

as he straddled it he placed her prone form across his lap so she lay between his body and and the handle bars revving the engine he rode off into the night at 80 mph "we rocked that joint" he told her happily over the roar of the bike's engine.

Jackie's eyes closed, but she was murmuring quietly, nearly unheard. She was telling him all about her favorite hijinks. like the one where she met Mikeal. "Black hair, black eyes, and he smelled soooo good," she murmured. "But he wasn't good. Oh no, he was really bad. In a good way, ya know?" He took me flying, then dropped me in the water, and I just laughed, even though I'm terrified of water."
When Thomas's finger hit her tooth, and the scent of blood hit her, it was like a brick. That was when Jackie stopped talking, and hit the point where drunk didn't even begin to describe her. "You smell really good, you know. Really really good." She hid her face into his coat, and dreams of steak danced in her mind.
As soon as she woke again they were on the road. Jackie was in a different position, and she wasn't very comfortable. She whimpered slightly, and tried to move. "Tommy...I gotta..." She forced him to hit the breaks. "Moving too fast...I don't feel so good..." She forced herself to not throw up, and sighed when her stomach settled.
But, Jackie's eyesight wavered. Trying to stand up, she nearly fell over, but luckily landed into someone's arms. Looking up, she saw Thomas. "Aw, thank you. That would have been an unfortunate spill..." she reached up, gently pressing her lips against his. While warmth seeped into her bones, she pulled back and whispered, "Rachel was a fool to let you go." And then, she passed out. Right there.

As they rode through the night the Piper smiled slightly at the feeling of freedom the bike gave he felt Jackie stirring and laughed softly at her incoherent mumblings was she trying to tell him a story? And so he was very surprised when her hand suddenly reached up and gripped the brake in a death grip almost forcing him to flip them

he was about to unleash a scathing reprimand against her but then saw what had led her to the actions running quickly Thomas caught her before she fell into the ditch and possibly her own puke “any ti….” Thomas almost replied yet she claimed his mouth too quickly she tasted of fresh night air the sweetness of alcohol with the sour bitterness of bile giving it a slight kick

as she pulled away her next words shocked him to his core "Rachel was a fool to let you go." "ewww doggy kisses " Thomas murmered slightly grinning Taking off his coat he covered her with it like a blanket

as he brought them toward her bike he used the coats sleeves to tie her in a sitting position then draping her arms about his shoulders he held on to her with one hand precariously steering the bike with the other as the stars lit the night sky

* a few hours later*

Thomas wearily trudged through the hall of his apartment kicking open the door to his bed room he lay Jackie gently on the bed tucking her in he softly kissed her forehead as his mother once did for him

" don't let the fleas bite" he said laughing softly as he shut the door walking to the kitchen he proceeded to make some coffee grabbing his cup he walked into the living room

and proceeded to think upon many things as he passed out on the couch the thought occured to him * this was the first night in a long time that he hadn't had need of the beer.*

Jackie flew up, her heart racing. Where was she-"Ow!" she muttered, her hand flying to her head. It was attempting homicide with the hangover of the century. With that thought, Jackie remembered her night, most of all its ending. Had she really kissed him? Removing the comforter from around her ankles, Jackie put her feet at the edge of the bed, and tried to settle her vision, which was trying to go double.

Jackie stood, her hair falling in a tangled mess down her back. Looking down, she realised she was wearing her clothes from yesterday. The girl shrugged, and went over to Thomas's dresser. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind," she muttered, pulling out one of his shirts.

Running over to the bathroom, she took off her clothes and tossed them into the hamper beside the door. Looking at it once again, Jackie sighed. "I'll do some laundry..." she muttered, then turned on some hot water.

Grabbing some soap, she jumped in for about 10 minutes, got out, pulled a towel off the rack, and proceeded to gag at the smell.

Ringing her hair out in lue of drying it with a towel, she pulled on the shirt and walked into the kitchen.

--------------------------------

Within an hour a load of laundry was going, coffee was brewing, and the dryer buzzed for her to come and get the contents. Jackie flipped a few pieces of bacon before she went over to get the clothes.

She pulled them into a basket, then went over and grabbed herself a plate of eggs, bacon, and a cup of coffee. Luckily, there was enough for Thomas to eat when he got up.

The Piper awoke with a start falling off the couch from a terrible nightmare in the dream he was 13 years old again it was the night he had first manifested his powers at that tragic concert in Tokyo he had just finished conducting and Skylar’s heir was trying to buy out James Tech from his father but when he went to kiss Rachel Jackie was there instead ….

Getting up off the ground by arching his back and flipping into a standing position * gotta chill just center be like water* he thought as he began to run through basic stretches and then light airy forms like tai chi and pa’ kua as well as hsing-i

it was then his stomach started growling and as his nose smelled food and coffee he began walking into the Kitchen fixing himself a hearty portion of the bacon and eggs he took the first sip of his coffee looking at his guest with his light eyes he asked softly “hows your head feelin? you did laundry too?" he winced "sorry about the towel its just I haven't had guests in forever and I wrecked your bike....im sorry" he said jesting with her he knew it was an awful joke but he simply couldn't resist

after finishing he set all but his cup in the sink from that he took a swift swig as he walked over gently holding her " not that it isn't nice but why are you here whom did you bring to my door Scooby? did you mean what you said last night? did you mean this..." and so he claimed her lips in a smoldering kiss as his eyes shown with desire and uncertainty for what the future would bring.

Jackie was slightly startled when Thomas fell from his sleeping place with a loud 'thump' Then, the girl snickered. "Dork," she muttered.
After a bit thought, he walked in. Jackie listened to him, smiling at what he was saying. She knew he didn't wreck her bike. "Well, I guess I'll get a new one. By the way, that was going to be your bike." she joked right back. "Too bad."
But, at his last comment about who she had brought to his door, she winced too. Memories of guns blazing, blades drawn, and hunters tracking her through each city she had been to flashed through her mind, the memory fresh in her head.
"Uh-I don't want to say right now. You don't want any trouble...I'll leave right now," she said, her voice going quiet at the end. Truth was, she had no place to go.
When Thomas asked her if she ment what she said last night, Jackie looked at him. "Do I ever really lie to you...to your face?" she asked, smiling. That was until he leaned down and claimed her lips. The girl heated with embarrassment, but also warmed with a flash of burning desire. After a few seconds, Jackie pulled back, her face flushed, her breathing quickened, and a shy smile on her lips. "Do you honestly think you'd be alive if I didn't mean what I said and did last night?" the girl laughed lightly, but stood shakily, then turned towards the dryer. Pulling out her jeans, tank top, her jacket, and her underclothes, Jackie slipped into the bathroom, changed, and stepped back out, handing Thomas his shirt and looking him in the eyes.
"Tommy, yes, I do think Rea was a fool, but I do know this. You'd be even more of a fool to try to pursue a relationship with me."
"I-I honestly don't think that you want to know who I brought with me." her tone had changed. It hinted at...fear? No, terror. Pure, unadulterated terror. "They're worse than even I could imagine. I honestly have to say, I've never been more scared in my life..." she looked away.

Thomas’ face grew grim as he surveyed the kitchen around him almost carelessly “ I didn’t think you’d give up Scooby these guys making you doubt yourself getting you to think your weak you use it the doubt the fear turn that upon them ….. just please stay Jackie!” he spoke in that instant as one would to a dog

running over quickly he held her legs as he dropped to his knees “don’t go!......I can protect you I….Rach I didn’t do the dishes again I please call me an Idiot I just tell me you hate this!…..” looking up his eyes were unfocused shaking himself bodily he saw Jackie Jackie was here not Rachel standing up he tensed very stiffly “I’m sorry “ he stated his voice coming as though from a very far away place the Piper turned and walked out towards the bike but before he left he turned to her “I’ve gotta business meeting now but everything in the house is yours including my bank accounts so just relax and Scooby” giving her a grin he didn’t feel he states “I’m your fool”

with that he rode off upon the back of the Aprilia RSV 1000 R. fore going his helmet his hair whipped out behind him the strands at times hitting him in the face he convinced himself that this was why his tears flowed if she had looked at his attire she would have realized that he was dressed in only his lether pants and his boots definitely not the business norm * I'm goin to war* he thought with a sense of contentment as he flew down the road going 200 mph and trying to out race his fear and insecurities.

Jackie watched him, shaking her head when he was telling her that she shouldn't be scared, that it wasn't like her. "You don't know who they are! I'm scared. I admit, I'm terrified! I'm human too, why can't I have a weak moment?"
After he had started again, and dropped to his knees, she paled at his next words. "Rachel?" she said, her voice quieted...she looked away. When he went out and grabbed her bike, she shrugged. She knew he had lied to her. But..."I'm not Rachel. I'm sick and tired of coming in second to her! Coming in second period..."
She turned towards the door, stormed out, and pulled out her phone. Dialing the number of the company she made mad, she grinned humorously. "You want me?" She gave an address of a nearby abandoned building. "Come get me."

Jackie lay down on a window sill, her leg bent at the knee as she watched out the window. She never left a real big impression on people. Especially those she found she had started to care for. She was always eclipsed by someone else. "If I'm not that important, then...fine. I'll go." She wouldn't die. But she could end her business, grab her things, and not come back. For good this time.
She heard a gun click. "Bullets?" she asked, looking over. "How boring."
She stood up and crouched down, feeling her spine shift into another shape. Her legs reshaped themselves, and she stomped one of her back legs, the paws settling comfortably.
Jackie's muzzle opened, the muscles and sinew snapping to open, the bone showing, forming into teeth. Soon enough, a growl erupted from the girl. Then, as soon as she was fully formed into a wolf, she lept.
A gunshot was heard from the other side of the room. Jackie came down upon the girl in front of her, knocking her out, then leaping on the man behind her, he shoulder seeping blood. The man had a knife, and he rammed it into Jackie's stomach. She yelped, but dug her teeth into his neck, ripping, then breaking it.
Four more flooded the room, and gunshots and knife wounds riddled Jackie when she finally was done.

Shifting back into a human, she forced herself not to pass out, walked into Thomas's house, and stepped into the shower, half dressed, her shirt off and tied around her stomach. Blood pooled around her, flowing down the drain. Jackie heard someone enter the house, prayed to god it wasn't another hunter, and passed out. Again.

After a long cooling off period, in which a massive amount of drink may or may not have been consumed, his fogged brain had come to a firm decision. One which would carry over into sobriety. It was gonna be Jackie, and not whats her face that was the girl for him. As he parked the bike very carefully on the drive way, then stumbling off and falling on to his hands and knees, he laughed a bit. * gonna make her a happy lady * he thought as he walked through the hallways of the apartment complex.

Nearing his own, he smelled cordite. * That means something…* his brain tried to tell him. Looking at his door almost completely shredded by bullet holes, he thought, * please please be someone else’s place. Yeah this this isn’t my place. My place has a nice meal and a warm bed.* He opened the door, witnessed the carnage within, and close it again. “ No dead people lying mangled on my floor “ he murmured blissfully


He then proceeded to walk in, going quickly to the bathroom to wretch. He noticed Jackie and sobers quickly. Taking off the shirt from around her belly, he got the “antiseptic spray”, also called three year old southern comfort and a pair of tweezers. He began to work diligently to pluck out all of the bullets while he humed a soft lullaby as he attends to her, the lyrics to which were:

“ little wolf child in my tub, why do you cause so much death in my house? It should be cleaned up so not cool, the way you throw parties after I’ve left having lied to you. Still your parties really rule…. Even after I tend to your wounds….” Finishing the song and thus his work, he wraped her torso in clean bandages.

”You're stuck on band aid brand, 'cause I stuck band aids on you,” he told her softly, then lifted her into his arms and carried her to his room. Even though he was really liking the view, Thomas gave her one of his black Guns and Roses T-shirts. Tucking her in properly, he proceeded to walk out of the room to deal with her little mess and possibly go pray a bit more to the porcelain god. "You so owe me lunch.... you crazy wolf " he said smiling softly as he shut the door and did what had to be done.

He screamed when he saw his guitar.

X-X-X-X Okay, this is what I'm telling you now. I FIXED YOUR POST! Look up! See those litte dots? Yea, those are periods. See those little '?' Those are question marks! See the '!'? THOSE ARE EXCLAMATION MARKS!

Question marks-Used after a question has been stated.
Periods-Used when finishing a sentence
Exclamation marks-Used to show extreme emotion.

Start using the right tense! You're using too much present tense, and not enough past tense. Please fix it.

The post above should serve as a model for how I expect your future postings should look like. Please stop making the grammatical errors of a first grader. I'm not trying to dent your pride. It's just...I'm a writer. I like things to be neat and clean. I'll make exceptions, but not when they continue without signs of improvement.X-X-X-X-X-X

Jackie's eyes shot open when she heard the loud, surprised/horrified scream that came from the living room. She lept out of her bed and then proceeded to collapse on the floor, her breath hissing out from clenched teeth. "Da**it" she growled, pushing herself up.
She looked down, saw the strange shirt on her, and stood there confused and hurting. "What in the world?" she muttered, lifting the shirt up slightly to look at her legs and her stomach. Bandaged...She smiled.
Then realized what must have happened. She was followed..."Sh**!"
Running out of the room she looked around her and saw bullet holes everywhere. The smell of gunpowder and the acidic smell of hatred and rage, mixed with greed teased her senses.
Jackie's blue eyes widened when she saw Thomas on the floor with his guitar. "T-Thomas?" she asked, stepping forward to see the damage. It was...destroyed. "Oh no! Thomas...Thomas I'm so sorry! Please...I didn't think I'd be followed ho-here."
She hugged herself as if cold. "I-" she looked away. "I didn't mean to get your home destroyed, or to basically ruin your life. I'm sorry I'm such a burden."
Blood started to seep through the bandages. Jackie winced slightly, thinking ~I'll have to check myself into the hospital.~
She bent down in order to see the guitar, to pick it up. The shirt rode up slightly, and more golden skin was exposed. Turning red, she stood up again, holding the musical instrument. It really was beyond repair..."I think I've overstayed my welcome. Let me buy some clothes, and I'll be out of here as soon as you want me to be."
