Chapter 26: Apology

"Really?, still planning on ignoring me?" Zik asked while he was in his usual denim pants which im also thinking of getting as he is taking me shopping for clothes and other girly necessities. I've been getting tired of Roseanne lending me clothes. I have to admit that I'm very excited to get some new clothes. I've spent most of my life wearing rags. I also think with everything I'm doing for them I deserve it all. I deserve the delicious food they give me, the comfortable bed, the hot showers and my very own private room (that's not so private any more with Zik following me like a dog). Oh right he asked me a question.

" Well I'm sorry but it's not my fault that you're very easy to forget even though you're always here" at times I focus too much on my tasks that I forget he is just behind me, on my left or even in front of me. " Even so it doesn't change that you're mad at me, you're not as chilled as before" the earnest look on his face puzzled me. I'm not sure which side he is on actually, at times he defends then soon offends me afterwards but as confusing as it is I have to play along. Unlike Roseanne and the others in the elixir house who I don't care how they see me Zik is a werewolf. I have to act I'd say less hostile to him as it's too late to act nice. The plan is to fool the werewolves and Zik is one of the strongest in the pack.

"Oh yes I love how you used the word before" he sighed and I crossed my arms like person waiting for an apology. " Look I know what I did made you no longer trust me and you must think that we werewolves are the most selfish race right now but if it was a different time with no threat and enemies you'd love it here. You just... surprised me back there and I felt like an idiot for saying 'dont be afraid I'm going to protect you' when you literally took down more monsters than I did afterwards" yeah he is admitting that what he did is wrong- no what he did must've felt wrong to 'me' but I didn't hear him apologize. Yes I'll admit that he did call me down multiple of times when I had yet to get used to seeing monsters. Also he is exaggerating, I didn't take out more monsters than him...at least I don't think so.

Another thing is he is wrong about saying I think the werewolves are the most selfish race, I've lived in an enchanted forest with a much much much more selfish race than them. " Whatever I'm over that and since we're stuck together I think we should at least get along" he beamed when hearing that and I at least tried to smile. " Great then let's get you shopping"...

I expected to see him transform to a werewolf but he started towards the numerous trees and I guess I followed him. He was in no rush walking at a steady pace and it was quite enjoyable really unfortunately it ended as we exited the forest. A shiny black car was waiting for us " us werewolves and many other supernatural races don't normally use modern vehicles cause we're just as fast if not faster. But of course I can't just drop you to the mall in my werewolf form the humans will freak" I nodded at the explanation while trying really hard to contain my excitement as this is the first time seeing an actual car. It's obviously the first time I'll be riding one, I've heard about it and as weak the humans are they do have extraordinary minds.

Zik pressed something that was attached to the car keys and the car blinked with a cute sound. He opened the front door for me and I even feared that he'd dirty the car with his prints. Slowly I got inside the car with my eyes wandering everywhere as everything looked beautiful but not extravaganza. I guess that's what I love about modern beauty, in the ancient times luxury didn't look this cool. Gold and enormous jewelry were in my opinion ridiculous of course another person might say the prefer that than modern luxury and I pity that person.

Gosh It even smelled amazing too and although I was curious about the controls that were in front of me I made sure not to touch anything afraid of breaking something. At this point my neck is starting to feel tired with the way my head has not yet faced one direction for more than ten seconds. Every inch of the car was just fascinating and I'm glad that Zik allowed me to have this moment but his smirking face is kind of annoying me" I guess this is your first seeing or being in a car?" I rolled my eyes at the question. It's not like I didn't know about cars it's just that I never saw or been in one and he is acting smug about it.

Seeing that I wasn't going to answer his question he started the car and drove us for quite some time before even the environment changed to a modern one. Trees were scarce and greenery became more scarce. A young different kind of beauty that invaded an older one or should I say the original. We entered a city that had beautiful towering buildings, everything was a lot but it was weirdly made to perfectly stand together. What should've looked stuffy represented relentlessly production. So much was going on, so many cars in different sizes. There were so many people some dressed according to their careers and some having their own signature. Things were moving and I guess that's what made all these people to come here...

" I'll wait here while you go and pick whatever you want " whatever I want he says? I almost feel bad for them because I'm not going to be shy and he is still going to take me to other shops too.
