"It Takes a strong heart to remember how to hurt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fight, Fight, Fight!
Katelyn walked into the small alley, wanting to be alone. She knew there was a secret entrance down in this particular alley that smelled of decay. She put her fingers to the dirty brick walls and ran them along the exterior, looking for something. after three minutes of searching, she found what she was looking for, but it was behind a dumpster. Katelyn raised her foot and kicked it. The dumpster scooted just enough for her to see a doorway. She reached for the knob and opened the door.
Katelyn slipped inside and then closed the door behind her. She heard the dumpster roll back to where it was previously. Maybe it was an automatic thing that presumed its previous position after so many minutes or seconds, what ever it may be, she didn't know.
Katelyn walked found herself in a small room and then saw a door. She walked up to it, cautiously turning the knob. She opened the door and went through it. She saw many people in there and she knew a few of them were shifters, like her. She let her breath out that she didn't know she was holding.
She went over to the bar that sold illegal drugs to kids under the age of twenty-one and ordered a drink that had little alcohol in it. She sipped her drink and then turned around in her seat, her back to the bar. Katelyn looked at the men playing pool. She was the only girl in here at the time, she wondered why. The other women that were here were probably either at home crying from pain, or upstairs with another man.
Katelyn sat on the stool, waiting for something to happen, then she finally got her wish. She was approached by a man that sat beside her, his breath smelled of alcohol and bad breath, what a mix. He sat next to Katelyn and looked at her up and down. He finally spoke after looking at every square inch of her. "You from around here, Missy?" He asked her. "Depends on what you do to girls that aren't," She simply replied, still watching the pool table.
The man grunted a small chuckle and then continued talking. "You would like to find out, wouldn't ya?" Katelyn kept quiet, then answered her witty remark. "Not if I'm with you." That ticked the guy off. He took his hand and smacked Katelyn across the cheek with the back of it. Katelyn fell to the ground, her cheek blood red. That's when she finally got a good look at the man. He wore a black shirt under a vest with various trinket skulls and chained zippers and ironed patches. He wore black, tight jeans and he had a scruffy face. He was definitely a biker boy.
Katelyn sat on her butt on the ground and put her hand on her cheek. She flexed her jaw and then the man replied again. "You don't talk to people that way around her, girl. You respect people that have more power than you." Katelyn could tell he was human. He gave no signs of being a shifter, his body language gave it away.
Katelyn got up and punched him in the face. She heard other men advancing on her, some wanting to join the fight, some wanting to watch, and some wanting to stop it.
Katelyn and the man continued fighting. She grabbed a glass bottle and broke it over his head as he held her down by the throat on the bar. Her face was red from oxygen deprivation, but she managed. Katelyn kicked was her in the stomach and the kick made her land on the floor behind the bar, taking a few glasses with her. She got up and launched herself over the bar on top of the man, taking him to the ground with her. She landed on top of him and punched him right square in the nose. She continued punching him, waiting for someone to pull her off. She was enjoying this.
Katelyn wore her black, tight skinny jeans and her black top that was short sleeved and buttoned up. She had black and white converse sneakers, and her hair was up in a pony tail. She had blood running down the side of her head that only made it down to her cheek and then stopped. She had glass stuck in her hand and in her arm, but she didn't care about that. She just wanted revenge for the smack and kick he gave her. And she got it. He got it.

Domino spotted the cracks in the wall and pushed on a brick in the wall, the dumpster moved. Domino made his way through the 'doggie door' at the bottom of the door special for shifters. He walked into the building. His tail fanning as he walked, a few girls gave him a look and winked, Domino dipped his head, they musta been dog shifters too.
Something broke out, a man slapped some chick, Dirrn sat on his haunches, nothing to do with the fight, yet sat watching, his mind crude wanting the woman to get the crap kicked outta her. He had come to have fun, not the way he would usually. Then the girl flung over the bar and started punching the man, a couple men standing close to her laughed and backed up, picking up the nearest liquid courage and slurping it down then stumbling and watching more action.
A small scent wavered around the room, the girls who had looked at him and winked raised their heads and watched the fight again, short growls murmered around the room, one coming from Domino. Something every shifter knew, the smell of shifters blood scent a mystical signal to everyone in the room, expecially the dogs, all the shifters stood, Domino stayed put though knowing better them to do anything, the humans in the room grabbed what they had and left, all but the one still being hit in the face repeatedly.
Then something sparked in Domino. He laughed, his hoarse dog voice ,ade a ruckus and everyone turned to look, Domino stood. His black and white pelt brushing against legs and seats as he made his way to the front of the crowd. Seems someone still has fire? Domino smiled, knowing the woman, and his previous thoughts of doing... things dissappeared at the familier site of something welcoming. Shifters took their seats as the heat died down. Domino stayed put, hoping Katelyn knew who he was.... it had after all been more then a year since they had seen eachother last...

"It Takes a strong heart to remember how to hurt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fight, Fight, Fight!
Katelyn sat up, getting off the man after looking satisfied, he turned to the dog, memories invading her mind, but quickly pushed aside. Katelyn looked him up and down and then looked at the guy she had beaten up. She kicked him one last time and the man moaned. Katelyn got off the ground and stood up. She looked back at the dog then spoke, her voice hoarse. "Last time I saw you, you were headed towards the country...... How'd that work out for you?" Her voice hoarse, but still pretty.
She went over and sat at a table. She put her arm on the table and flexed her arm, her muscles rippling. She looked at her forearm and the blood flowing dow it. With her arm still flexed she reached up to her arm right next to her shoulder and pulled out a piece of glass, wincing as it came out. She layed the piece on the table and layed her hand out, now trying to pick the glass out of her hand.
She looked back at Domino, her eyes full of pain, and memories at the same time, herself not sure whether to be mad at Domino for leaving like he did, or happy to finally see him again. So many things flooded her mind so she just assumed be happy. She didn't want to beat the snot out of him- that was a fight he would probably win.

Domino smiled and looked down. His navy blue eyes showing his happiness. He turned and walked, not being rude, everyone musta understood, well the shape shifters. Heat built up as he walked until he just popped, literally. Skin melted and a new skin weaved over molding flesh and bone. Domino strutted back torwards the table. Pain flared in his eyes as he got use to the new body, leather jacket fitting his features, levi jeans and a tight grey shirt.
Wow... it's been a while. About the whole country thing, I acually loved it. I haven't shifted back since that time you last saw me. So this is wierd. Domino waved to his body as he said it was wierd. I really missed you though, and the guy I worked for died, so I thought I'd take a week off and come down here to the city. Again, wierd to see anything I once knew... Domino smiled and looked at her, the sight made him tremble, but the way she gave him distance made him reluctant to say much more then what he already had.

"It Takes a strong heart to remember how to hurt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Title of thread
Katelyn studied her hand and then looked at her shoulder. She lifted her short sleeve up, her tattoo showed so she quuickly put it back down, but she kept it up just enough to get another large piece of glass out of it.
She put the iece on the table as Domino was talking. She looked him in the eyes and smiled a soft smile. "I've missed you too," She then went back to picking the glass out of her hand. When she got al the glass she blew on her hand and it started to heal instantly.
Katelyn had on her same necklace she always did. It was her horcrux. Her black clothes had dark red staines from blood and her hair was stained. Blood still ran down the side of her face and dripped off at her cheek, but that would heal soon, she didn't care. Her throat was red from the man choking her and it was sore, her voice was still hoarse.
"Well, this is basically what I do everyday..... Not the fighting- that only happens every once in a while, but I still got game. I"ve given up my old life.... Not a cop anymore- quite the opposite actually," Katelyn chuckled. "But I still keep in touch with the force and all......" She looked back up to Domino and leaned back in her chair. He still looked te same. Katelyn chuckled to herself when she saw the leather jacket around him. He still wore that thing?
She looked him up and down and remembered her past crush on him. She wondered if he felt the same about her, but now. She decided to prod. "So, any relationships started up between you and other country dogs?" She smiled at the thought.

Domino smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, and looked at Katelyn and grinned harder. Hid chest bubbling with excitment. Yeah, theres this one dog. She'll give any body the go around, but she's a good dog and I hope to make up somethings to her before I tell her anything on how I feel. Domino looked at the beer a waitress had just handed him and listened to her as she spoke. Lady in red bought you a miller light Domino looked around, five people were wearing red. Two of which were women, and both were alone. Niether looked at him. Domino swooshed the beer and put it on the table untouched. His nose puckered at the smell. He use to be real big on the beer, but he had changed in a year.
That women in red intrested him though, and the old Dirrn shown through his tough skin. uhh... I'll be back... gotta straighten something up. Domino turned to walk away then looked back and said, You know, I really hope that german shepard dog likes me the way I like her. then winked and walked off.
He talked with a women in a silk red dress and laughed with her, then he nodded and they walked out the 'door' of the hangout into the alley. The pittbulls studied them and then went back to laying or fighting. Domino walked with the other shapeshifter and then let her inside to her house, and refused to go in before he walked the lonely streets once more, the wind sent chills down his spine as he walked. Then those chills gripped him and he ran his body lunging into the air and eyes shining, light built in his viens then everything froze a second, heat raged inside and things cracked and popped, but he had his timing better then the last time he had walked around and shifted. Domino landed on two paws countinuing his gait until he turned a corner then he slowed slightly and let the sights of the city sink in. Thinking about Katelyn, he really didn't care weather she liked him or not, he had done nothing to incourage it, in fact he had done all he could to make her not like him, he stopped talking to her to flirt with a sexy blonde in a tight red dress, who she probably thought he wanted to get lucky with, but his mind had changed since he walked in the door, origonal that would have been the case, but now he refused to do anything of the sort.
Domino treaded along the concreate sidewalk a while before it started to rain.

"It Takes a strong heart to remember how to hurt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Title of thread
Katelyn propped her feet up on the table and watched the blonde and Domino flirt. She was probably more blonde on the outside if you knew what she was thinking. SHe was probably more blonde on the inside in her head than on the outside. And she had to dress tight to look good; that was something KAtelyn found easy to do. She could wear sweatshirts and sweatpants everywhere and still look hot.
She looked at her hand and then at her arm, they still hurt like hell, but not as bad now. They were starting to dull as they went sober.
KAtelyn set her feet back down on the ground and then slowly rose to her feet gracly. She stood to her full height then leaped, midstride, she was lost in a furry of blue light and a wave of heat. She transformed into a dog, hitting two at a time on the ground and taking off running a few minutes after Domino walked out with the blonde.
She tore down the streets, not watching where she was going. She ran into a dog, not sure if it was shifter or anything else, but she didnt knock them over or anything, so she didn't stop to say sorry. She just pushed them out of the way a bit. She ran as fast as she could down the street, looking for an opening, then she found it. There was a fence about five feet tall. She ran as fast as she could then leaped through the air, turning to human as she hit the ground. She landed on her shoulder and then tucked and rolled. It was her hurt shouder and she regretted being weak when shifting; she always shifted back when it was least expected.
She got up and shifted back to dog afteer taking off, she hoped the dog she almost ran over didn't follow her, and she hoped it wasn't anyone she knew if it was a shifter.
She took off through the small wood that was behind the tall fence, trying to find her special hiding place she usually went to.
She spotted it and slowed to a trotting gait. She finally stopped in the middle of the clearing, shifting to human as she fell. She at least fell on her good shoulder this time instead of the one that had glass in it earlier. She thought about Domino and then her past with him, she thought about her present life and how bad it sucked. She started to cry. She pulled her feet up to her chest and held onto them tightly as she closed her eyes and held them there tightly. She didn't mind te leaves that were on the floor around her, they weree all dry and the same color: grey. The forest looked like it repeated the same pattern eerytime you looked at a different tree: more and more grey each time you turn around.
Katelyn held her eyes shut tight, afraid to open them to the moving world around her, afraid to find out who she really was, afraid to be who she really was.
She heard voices run through her head, some that didn't sound familiar, but some she recognised, she heard in her head her mom crying as she saw herr kids for the last time, she died as she wept for her childeren and their saftey. She heard her father yelling and heard things break through the house, she saw in her head her small self hiding in the corner of the basement wit hthe lights out, listening to him throw glass things across the room as he went on a rampage after her mom died. She heard her brother telling her to live her life strong when she grew up, and that was the last thing she heard. SHe thought she heard other voices, but she wan't sure. She didn't know if they were from the real world, or not, from her memories or not. She didn't care either. She just layed there in that field, her body in a fetal position, her mind racing, her broken heart racing, and her hair littered with dead leaves that she was curled up in. This was KAtelyn's natural state: the depressed, lonely, sad state.

Domino lowered his head as a rapid chill blew over him, and when he did a dog ran past him, he growled and stumbled a bit. The dog raced in another direction and didn't come back, Stupid mongrel. Domino trotted by a bit of food, ignored it and walked on, his mind on Katelyn and that blonde chick, literally chick she shifted into a chicken. No wonder why she was such a dumb butt.
Domino found his mind wondering to Katelyn, the way her eyes glassed over when she talked, cold and sad. Lonely, is that what he had done to her? What had happened here after he left? Domino snorted and walked aways until he caught the scent of another dog, he crawled through a fence and trotted through a woodland. Something made him pause, a figure of a girl moved in the distance, he crouched. Eyes in stalk mode, maybe he could, no nevermind. Domino perked his ears as a smell ran with the wind, Katelyn? Domino stood straight again, obviously confused out of his wits. He waited, his heart fluttering as he watched the sad scene.

"It Takes a strong heart to remember how to hurt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fight, Fight, Fight!
Katelyn cried in the middle of the clearing, her heart quickyls slowing. She breathed in an unsteady breath again. Crying always did that to her; it made her breath unsteady and made her cheeks flush.
Katelyn had been having 'episodes' like this ever since the begginning of the year. She thought that maybe she was going crazy at first, but they were more often when she was upset, so she thought it couldn't be that she was going crazy; she knew she already was.
KAtelyn laid there still, in that small clearing, tears still streaming down her cheek, remembering the past. Her past. She squeezed her feet to her chest tighter, and squeezed her eyes shut even titghterr as she remembered her parents, how they were happy, but then her vision quickly switched to how her father went on his second rampage, how this time, katelyn hid up in the attic. She remembered running away a few times and then dissappearing to the attic a few times. When she did go to the attic, she would starve herself, she wouldn't do a ting but cry. She got to the point that she was taken to the hospital because she passed out for over a day fomr dehidration and weightloss. Her eyes were so swollen from crying after she came down from the attic, she slept for a couple days they hurt so bad.
Katelyn relaxed a bit more after a couple minutes of crying. She had tears pouring down her cheeks now. She needed to get it out, but she probably needed to cry at home; not out in the forest where a few people may get lucky and take advantage od her weakened state, or find her and call the police.... or worse, and Katelyn always thought the worse of things the majority of the time.

Domino sat in the thrushes beside him and the lowered himself further into the grass and placed his head on his paws. His hind quarters pushed forward and he crawled on his belly out of the brush. He made his way over to Katelyn and laid his head on her lap. His navy eyes begging for forgiveness from her. Then he smiled, thinking of a silly thing to say, You know I probably wouldn't look this cute in human form.... but I can try if you'd like... He looked up at her and wagged his tail slightly.
Domino stood up and licked her cheek, wanting her to accept him again.
