Some[thing] Strange

[x A n d e x]

A withered past and a blurry future,
My hearts on an auction,
It goes out to the highest bid.

Her face hovered above mine, tantalizingly close. I leaned foward slowly. "Jace?" I quested, reaching out to brush her cheek with my tentive fingers. I hadn't seen her in so long it hurt, a deep ache in my soul. "Anthony." My name was a whisper on her sweet lips, a beautiful song on her face. And then it changed.
Ubruptly. Her cool expression turned scared, terrified, bloody, and then angry. "How could you? I could you let me down like that?! You killed me you basterd! You killed me!" Blows rained down on me, and I scrambled to get away, to relieve myself of the image of her battered face, so broken under the thick gauze of blood. My love. My sweet sweet Jace. I moaned, a terrible animal sound of such agony. And it changed again, all blue and misty. Jace's face lost it's anger, returned to fear. "Help me." she sobbed, reaching for me. I reached back, but I was to far away, to heavy to move any closer. "Help me Ande!" she wailed, eyes wide in fright. "Ande... Ande" Her voice was no longer hers. It was masculine, struggling. I moaned again, lunging for her one last time, but I knew it was no use.

I live too fast, and I know I will lose her,
But there is an option, to die is to live in her head.

I lunged up, nearly knocking Imayu over. He was frantic, bouncing around me. But I couldnt take it in, one thought ruled my mind. Jace. My Jace. I held back the sobs. Oh god. It was all my fault. I had killed her. I bent double, clutching my stomach as I dry heaved.

So I'll hang on, never let go.
I dug this pain into my chest.
Its dead.

[Imayu || Yu]

Apparently money can even buy you dignity
Everyone will forget in a couple of days
It doesn't matter what they say in the press, I guess.

And emotion like insanity crept into my mind as I watched the human lapse into seizing motions, unaware of anything that I could do, and feeling terrible for being so useless. With a panicked tail flick, I paces around the boy, hoping that he would be okay. Strange, queer feeling were slowly inching into my mind, threatening to make me cry out in pain and sorrow. Were these intense emotions coming from the meat sack before me? Surely a two-legged being couldn't feel that much emotion, could it? With a startled yelp, I quickly dodged Ande's lunged back to a conscientious state and watched with a socked sense as he upturned his stomach contents among the ground. I whined, willing him to be okay. The aching and pain and disbelief were incredible emotions burning at the back of my skull. I crawled between his legs, tail tucked, whining and begging for him to be okay, and for the barrage of emotions to stop. Licking his hands, I willed him to feel okay again, or as close as he could come. "Why?" I asked, a little more than confused.

I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season, let the hunting begin
So many faces of so many people are covered in stupid
And all they wanna do is get in

Take my place and look inside
Try to find a place to hide, hide
Lost my faith but don't you cry,
I got a hole inside and it's 10 miles wide

An ache soul deep bit into me again and again. Images from the wreck flashed behind my eyelids, wreaking havok on my fragile mind. I whimpered, trying to rock back and forth as I sobbed, but something was half-under me. Imayu suddenly came into my awareness, like one of those pictures that at first look like random scribbles and then jump into focus when you look at them a certain way. Alone. I was so alone. And I deserved to be all alone, but I couldn't stand it. My arms wouldn't listen to the guilty babble going on in my mind. They reached out and wrapped themselves around the first warmth they came in contact with, drawing the warmth to my chest. If Imayu squirmed, I wouldn't have even noticed. I held him to me with an iron grip, burrying my face into his thick neck ruff, sobbing my soul into the musky fluff. "Jace." I whispered. "Jace, Jace, Jace." Her name was a mantra, one I repeated over and over under my breath. It was the only thing that held me to sanity. Her face came into veiw and I groaned, a pale deathly groan that came from the pits of deepest longing, deepest regret. "I'm so sorry. Sorry. So So. So Sorry. Jace. I'm Sorry. Jace.. Jace. Ohmygod Jace. Why'd you leave me? Why didn't you let me go? God Jace. I'm sorry." My babble trailed off, and my tears slowed, my sobs turning into raspy hiccups.

I let my hold on Imayu slip away, and sat back. My eyes stayed unfocused, gazing at nothing and everything all at once. My final tear was a silent one. A stony one. Numb. So numb. I sat. Just sat. Apathetic. No. I cared. Oh gawd I cared. I cared so much it made me sick inside. Lethargic. Yeh. Thats it. Everything around me was heavy, so heavy. I sagged, unable to hold myself up against the weight of it all.

It's not to late I'm close behind
I've gotta get inside your mind, mind
Lost my faith but don't you cry
I got a hole inside and it's 10 miles wide

[Imayu || Yu]

I held silent and still as the youth compressed my with his emotion and strange paws. Warm, salty liquid rained down upon my fur as the human howled on and on. I sinking feeling hit me, square in the gut, and I too felt like howling. This strange emotion, sorrow? seeped from the boy, through our new found link, and into me. Hurt and love burst forth from my insides, I suddenly wanted to howl and cry along with the youth, I wanted to run until these weird feelings left my body, left his body. I wanted to run and show my dear friend Ande that pain and sorrow was not all of the world. There was more, so much more. Like the joy of tasting the first snow of the season or the youthful feeling of a good trot on a cool spring morning. I wanted to embrace him, just as he was I, in my fluffy wolf coat. I want to caress him and make him see the light again.
Finally he slackened his grip on my multicolored bodice and I slid to the hard ground. Slowly turning, I took in the sight of his poor, haggard condition. He looked as if he were recovering from a three day drunk. Whining, I licked his dusty cheek with my warm, pink tongue, and lay my big, fuzzy head on his shoulder. I wanted Ande, my friend, to feel better again.

Tentive joy flooded through th strange bond in the form of images. Eating snow, running with strong confident muscles. Imayu sat up, licking my cheek, and I couldn't help it. A sheepish smile bit through me. It still hurt deep deep down. And not so deeply as well. But the affection Imayu showed in his big watery dog irises was enough to keep me from doing anything dangerous. Slowly I pulled out my last ciggerette. For a moment all I could do was stare at it. Just as slowly, I pulled out my skull lighter, flicking the top back and lighting it. I was torn. Smoke it and itll be gone, don't smoke it and deal with all these cravings. Nestlig it between my lips, I lit it up and closed my lighter, inhaling deeply with half closed eyes. I wanted to moan. The toxins flowing into my systems felt amazing. Just the familiar taste of the bitter smoke calmed me, and chased away a bit of the lethargy. I scratched Imayu behind his ears fondly.

Final words;
It sucked horidly, I had to make myself write it lol. sorry it took so long.

[Imayu || Yu]

A creature made of sunshine;
her eyes were like the sky;
Rabbit howls like something old;
As we twitch to a lullaby;

I smiled the biggest wolf-y grin I could must and burst into a rapturous parade of barking and dance, mixing clouds of dust with the acidic smoke. My watery yellow eyes watched closely as the wisps mingled with the oxygen and floated off into the nothingness that was the sky. OH, how I had once wanted to float off, fly away, right into the sky. Away, where I could find a friend of my own. Where I could sleep in lush meadows in the morning dew until my bones grew weer and my tissues old. I smiled to myself and looked up to Ande. "Go?" I asked. Pointing my sleek bottle to the horizon, I noted that the sky was reddening, and the Irvine River was casting misty clouds on the banks of the Jukrapase Heights. A yawn over took my maw and broke my though, whining and making the most of my momentary break. I looked back to the boy and then off in the distance, away from the Heights that so greedily guarded the land below it's shadow. It was time to go home, before the night creature began to stir.

Something cold is forced inside her;
a tears spill down her cheek;
stillborn songs of a dead dreamer;
hymn's of a needle freak;

There Is Nothing Left Of You
I Can See It In Your Eyes
Sing The Anthem Of The Angels
And Say The Last Goodbye

The blatant joy that spread across Imayu’s features only enhanced my mood, spreading into the deepest reaches of my mind. That coupled with the buzz of the much needed nicotine had me nearly flying. ‘Go?’ the canine ancestor woofed through the link. I stood carefully, not wanting to float off the ground. “Yeh Imayu, let’s go. Lead the way.” Dusk was in full bloom, lighting the sky in a myriad of blistering color, each shade lit up like the sun. The sun however, was slipping a slow trail down the sky, half hidden behind gaping mountains, their peaks reaching perpetually towards the sky, their only goal to grace themselves with the touch of the moon. I looked to the full white disk, perched on the other side of the sky, moonlight white with dusky craters etched on its surface. It looked unusually large tonight. I peaked at Imayu, wondering where it was he was going to take us. Hopefully somewhere comfortable, I was sore from today’s run. I took a few more puffs of my ‘cancer stick’ before snuffing it out on my arm. Which yes, I know. It is a horrible habit, and hurts like hell. But it works. My arm is dotted with little burn scars, not that I usually snuff out my cigarettes before they’re finished. So there really aren’t that many marks.

I Keep Holding Onto You
But I Can't Bring You Back To Life
Sing The Anthem Of The Angels
And Sing The Last Goodbye

The Last Goodbye;

[Imayu || Yu]

Let the blackness roll on;
Ain't so cold tonight;
Mother's cool reptilian womb;
My fingers trace the exit wounds;
by graveyard light;

Acidic smoke curled around me and into my chocolate nares. Huffing a sneeze, I pulled my golden harks back and wrinkled my little nose. Looking up the the strange boy, my stomach rumbled, deep with yearning. I liked my lips, and shook my head. He was such a strange boy, inflicting wounds upon himself in an environment that was so new to him. Shrugging, I pulled the strings that sent small electrical signals to my muscles, and launched off in a directs opposite of the stinging mass of flow that was the Irvine River. I pushed my pads into the ground and picked them up with haste, only to stop when I remembered that I had a tag-alone. I stopped and sat under one of the less broken and charred trees, which had begun to thicken as I moved deeper toward my destination. "Ande?" I rung through our little mind wire. A worried frown splashed across my face as I relied that a human may have had trouble keeping up with my hurried wolf-pace. "Ande?" I asked once more, prancing in place.

I couldn't find my way
Out the door
We all died
Woke up on the floor
yeah alright yeah
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream

Like zombies eatin' dust in Mexico
Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights
She asked if it would hurt
I smiled and said no

My wolfie counterpart leapt to his feet, racing off at the smallest suggestion of leaving. Slight pangs phantomed in my stomach, tingling through our link. ¡®Hungry?¡¯ I quested to myself, unsure. I slowly got to my feet, reluctant to have a repeat of earlier. ¡®Ande?¡¯ My new pal called. I could feel his nearly tangible desire to leave this place. ¡®Ande?¡¯ And suddenly, I was struck with a thought. ¡°Imayu, keep running. I¡¯m going to stay here ok? Run as far as you can, and talk to me through our link. Ok?¡± I wanted to see just how far this link reached. ¡°And if you smell someone else, or see someone else. Let me know.¡± I took a few steps in the direction Imayu had left in, and then realized when he was done running; he would have to hunt for the both of us. And that it was something I kind of wanted to watch.

The lie ran down my chin like embryo
She smiles like a corpse
Like zombies eatin' dust in Mexico
Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights

Smiling like a corpse
too many screaming ghouls 287
but ill get you back Yee! ¢¾ ♫

[Imayu || Yu]

A frown splashed my muted features, like a ripple from a rock being tossed in a puddle. "Come?" I whined to Ande through our intermingled minds. "Home." I pleaded through our mental binds, trying to get the boy to understand. I wasn't exactly coming back to this spot, I was exactly going to come back for him. The mighty Juktapase was not my home. I had no right to claim the mighty falls that towered over the surrounding lands, over looking them like a lonely watch tower. Looking back at the billowing mist that was radiating from the majestic Heights, I realized that I had no idea what kind of creatures roamed these lands at night. "Come," I demanded, a striking not of authority ringing in the command. The boy called Ande was going to fallow me, or I would be leaving my poor partner behind. I heaved a rather giant high and perched myself under a tree, hoping the boy would catch up soon. Worry lashed through my mind, but I had to remain steadfast. My home lay in the lands forested lands of Ylandir, not in the land that ran beside the great Irvine.

For the last time I give myself to the enemy
By letting their words just walk all over me.
'Cause people, they'll tear you apart

Annoyance tangled with my emotions, amped up by the human nature that lay undormant not so deep inside me, the nature that faught for control and dominance. The nature that made me want to wrap my fists around the doggie's throat and slowly tighten my grip until the beast begged for my leadership. But the fear that crossed our link demanded followship, the instinct for survival not so deeply burried in the feral's mind was much more potent than my own instinct, and it squashed any violence left tickling my thought trails. I jumped up and stalked after my companion, keeping a good clip while not bursting into a complete run. Exhaustion still threatened me from my last attempt to keep up with Imayu's four legs. It almost made me wish we had been combined instead of simply connected. Then both worlds would have been gaping open for us. I grinned at the thought, watching as the he-wolf crested a hill, throwing him into stark contrast with the sky behind him. I quickened my pace, using both my legs and my arms to get up the hill. Panting I stood beside the wolf, and I wondered what those below would see. A man chasing after a miss behaving pet? Or man standing beside a wild thing, which by some strange happening had been tossed beside him as his equal? My strange gaze flicked to a wolf, and with a wink I asked him to lead on.

If you are not like them,
And we are different.
Let the war begin.

My large and bushy tri-colored tail wags, causing my medium sized body to sway too and fro. A happy smile paints itself across my small jowls as the soft skinned human treads to my side. I push my cold wet nose into his warm and sweaty palm, feeling both the emotional and physical distress that was so easily pulsing through his many micro-sized veins. My long pink tongue shot from my white bottle and caressed the fleshy hand of my partner. I sent over a warm feeling of love and affection through our constant mental connection and then stood up. I stretched out my legs, which were starting to grow sore. I turn and point my nose to the ever darkening sky and reach my mind into the lands of the ever growing forest. Though I was still miles away, I could smell the new growth of the flora, warm memories of home flooding into my mind like water from flood gates. I let out a little yip of happiness before I set off in a steady walk, wishing to give my friend Ande and my own stiffening legs a slightly less abusive workout.

Maybe an hour or two later, darkness has settled in like a thick, impenetrable hood over the heads of the stolen. My paws no longer tread on new born grass and thin topsoil, but rather that of old forest and loamy soil. My tap wags happily and I let out a rapturous bark of delight as I close in on my own home. I run circles around the human, nudging him along with my nose, feeling my own energy greatly replenished by the thought of home. I run a few paces ahead and let out a very joyful howl, both sounding my return, my happiness to be doing so, and also warding off any night creatures. The truth be know, I'd lived my whole life here on this little island, but new things startled me every day. Not a single sunrise or nightfall passed without myself learning something new.

I stand silently watching the sun slip lower and lower. This land is so dead, so icky, and it's all from human carnage. This is what we do when the world is ours and ours alone. A thought strikes me with this, and I smile. Maybe that's why the humans of the new world have such companions, so that when we consider destroying the entire world for our own pety greed, the creatures beside us can show us just how foolish we our with our bombs and our wars. A wet cool muzz snuffles into my hand, and affection pours into me, warming my soul. I note without feeling how bipolar my bond is with Imayu. One moment I'm considering strangling the life out of the beast, and the next I'm noting just how much smarter than me he is. I smile down at him, letting him lick at my palm before stroking his crania and scratching him behind his keen ears.

Tail wagging the wolfie starts off. I can almost fool myself into believing his eagerness is my own it is so potent. I follow, letting his good mood lighten my own feelings. I don't know why he fears things so much, many of nature's predators do not stray close to the scent of mankind, some inner instinct warning them of our destructiveness. I don't point this out as we walk well into dusk. Forest begins to spring up around us, and with every new tree Imayu's eagerness increased. Boy was he happy to be home. His antics amused me, and I was mildly suprised by my good spirits. My mood had flopped around so much today. I stop for a moment, realizing we're in a completely different territory than the one before. Flashes of emotion leaping from Imayu spring one word in my mind. Home.
