I couldn't convince my other side to go to Jisa. Now I really didn't know what to do! I mean nobody ever told me what to do when another shifter changed all of a sudden as if someone made her. "Um..." That was all I could say. I let the guard around my emotions down. The feeling of confusion was now clear. I looked into Jisa's now amber blue eyes. I was tired, between the fright and sparring that I had done. I started to babble to myself again, mumbling nonsense. Finally the other side of me gave in and I could walk forward to Jisa. Each step was a little hesitant. "Sooo..." I mumbled. I let my left hand play with my hair before casually touching my shoulder. It throbbed a little but no worse for the wear. Good, I now knew its full limits. I wouldn't have to worry about it when ever I was fighting or running or whatever other crazy thing I had to do. Besides it was just a pink scar now, but one that could break open. I smiled. "That was fun." I said on a more cheerful note, not sure why I was so happy all of a sudden.

Jisa hated being caught out in a situation like this. It really and truly sucked. Especially when she couldn't even explain what had just happened, after all she was just as clueless as Ash. Closing her eyes for a moment, Jisa listened to Ash. The rumbling in her chest subsided as did the twitches of the end of her tail. Progress... Jisa sighed gently in her mind. A normal life would be nice right about now. The thought slipped into her mind before she could stop it. Slowly the panther opened her eyes again to the sound of Ash's nonsense mumbling. Finally, whatever it was released it's hold on her and the Panther's figure started to flicker away, and from the ground rose the tall, black haired girl that sat crossed leg in the middle of the field. Her hair fell around her shoulders as Jisa pursed her lips and looked at her hands.
"Yeah. Real fun."
Sarcasm was imminent in her voice, though before she shifted it had been fun-ish. About as amusing as life could get for Jisa. Which wasn't really.

I couldn't help but giggle. It was a comical sight, Jisa calming herself and trying to shift back into a human. Much like I did the first time I shifted. I let out just a moment of laughter as Jisa shifted back. "Awe come on Jis, was it really that bad?" Though part of me told me it was and I shut my mouth. "Not that I was much better..." I turned my head to look over at a bird fluttering up from the grass. Usually I would have ignored it but I was using it as an excuse to hide my reddening checks. I openly bit my lip, physical pain would stop me from blushing right? The extra color faded as soon as it came and I sighed. I let myself sink down into the same cross legged position. "Now what?" I asked, wondering what Jisa would say. Yeah I was wondering the same question myself.

So it was really uncalled for, the giggling. Jisa shot a glare at Ash momentarily. Headaches didn't generally put people in good moods now did they? Ash's question earned her another beseeching glance. Yes. It really was that bad being controlled by who-knows-what and being forced into Shifting? Fun, fun, fun.
"Nah, feeling like my head was splitting open is something I do for fun."
Jisa's sharp voice shot at her. Truthfully, though not many would believe it, Jisa wasn't being horrible because of the headache- though that had a big part in it, she was being horrible because she could have killed Ash. Yeah, so what? Maybe a little bit of Abandonment Issues had a play in this. And? It had scared Jisa like hell to know that she could have killed the last remaining person in her life. Three years as a Shifter and you still can't control yourself. She thought bitterly to herself. It was even worse that people expected her to be almost untouchable, or a hard headed bitch, but either way. Spending six years building that up and then being scared to lose someone? That was just not right. Sighing, Jisa looked back up at Ash.
"Sorry. Headaches put me in a bad mood."

I stood up."Hey, were both fine now." I said soothingly, ignoring that snappy voice. I was still getting out of the babbling phase, which means my voice was still soft and soothing. I did returned Jisa's previous hard look and said a little more sternly, "I don't think your panther side could have killed me as easily as you think." Though I couldn't blame her for being a little cranky. I was tempted to step back just a little but I stood my ground. I could deal with Jisa's snappy, crabby behavior. It didn't bother me. I knew that she may act hard and cold but there was a...um semi-normal person underneath, deep underneath. Yeah. "So what's up with life? I didn't exactly get to say much more than hi." I teased. "You probably know what I've been doing." I had to smirk a little. Yeah these last few months have really been fun right? I almost laughed at that. Yup. Fun.

Ash's soothing voice made Jisa's eyebrow raise. It was a reflex. When anyone spoke to her like that, she felt like some sort of dangerous mental case. Oh, wait a second... So that was why. Ash's retort was surprising. Apparently, sometime during the last... what, hour?- Jisa had all of a sudden become a nonexistent threat. Well apparently Nineteen just meant you were too old to be dangerous. Instead of retorting with some sarcastic comment- that wasn't coming to mind for some reason- Jisa just rolled her eyes and laid back on the grass in the sun. Ash's next comment put Jisa on guard, because honestly no one really asked that, oh and Jisa usually never answered that. Keeping her composure, without giving away that she was suspicious, Jisa answered.
"Well Life is Life, boring and going nowhere."
Yeah. Pretty much. When you had forever to live and not much to do, it was a little boring. Just a little.
"Nope. I don't keep tabs on people I know. I only hear the odd piece of gossip when something gets big, like your little stunt in the mall."

"That sounds good. I guess." I snorted. "Awe, that as um...accidental? I didn't mean to set off the fire alarms in there, it was just the quickest exit. Though I think that I taught that cop a lesson...because the second time she came after me she had a couple of guns." I shrugged. Big deal. Letting my legs fold under me I plucked a stem of grass and started to chew on it. No, I wasn't going to eat it...I think. "What was up with this sparring session? Trying to give me a hint or something?" I cocked my head slightly, instead of ignoring the urge to. I was a little curious about that. It was fun, yes, but Jisa didn't do something without a purpose. So I thought. It just didn't seem to me like Jisa was a person to waste time doing something that wasn't necessary. But the time that I've spent with the black haired shifter didn't exactly give me much to go on. Besides I liked to spend my time alone in the forest, wandering, or at the river, swimming. Yup since I didn't bother with school there wasn't much else to do. I blinked slowly leaning back on my elbows. It's been a pretty good day for you Ash. Nothing too crazy.

Jisa shook her head as she looked up at the clear blue sky. Summer was clearly on the brink of arriving. All of a sudden feeling lazy because of the heat, Jisa didn't grace Ash's explanation with an answer. It didn't matter much if Ash stirred up any trouble anyway. Someone had to put the EF and the Humans back in their place. Not that it was a good thing to draw so much attention to oneself.
"Trying to... I don't know, fight head-on if you need to. Running away doesn't always work."
Jisa had had to learn how to fight head-on, I mean she was a panther, not built for speed but power. Ash had the luxury of speed and agility on her side, so running away would work most times. You, of all people, should know running away never works... That voice shot at her quite spitefully. Yeah. Voices and headaches. Nice.

"That makes sense. Knowing how to fight as a human could be as useful as knowing how to fight as your shifted side." I acknowledged her point. I flipped my hair off my neck. The mild spring weather was passing and soon the unbearable heat would take place. Joy of joys. I flicked my eyes almost wearily around. Nothing stirred. That was good I suppose. I flopped down onto my back, feeling to prickly grass underneath my shirt and the slightly moist earth. I looked up at the blue sky. Not a single cloud in sight. Which meant it wasn't going to rain anytime soon. I didn't mind getting wet...I just didn't want to be soaked to the bone and shivering with cold. "So, now what do we do?" I wasn't sure what we could do anymore. Everything just got so lazy all of a sudden. Like the heat of summer had finally set in and this wasn't the time to be fooling around like two foals in a spring rain. I felt like sleeping the afternoon off, like a lazy lion you could say, and yet I wanted to do something more. You just don't like to hold still. Shut up. I brushed that annoying but truthful voice away. Sometimes I listened to it but most of the time I didn't. Your crazy. Yup. True. Always talking to yourself...
