Being

Prologue—Falling

KATY DREAMED in red when she was a wolf. This nightmare was black, edged in red, and in it she watched Teague falling through the sky, a black form against the old-blood dark. He didn’t flail, he didn’t fight, he just fell.

For a moment he stalled, fell slower, and while he was doing that, he adjusted his body, slowed his motion, prepared to land in such a way that his thigh bones wouldn’t be driven through his brain; and then, just when her heart stopped screaming in despair, when he was still near enough the treetops of the horizon to be seen, the plummet began again.

She’d been running toward his still form before it was even him.

But in the dream, in the way of dreams, she was back with her mother, back when she was tiny, before the drugs had devoured Mommy whole, and Mommy was throwing her up in the air.

“Up, up, up!”

“Wheee!”

But Mommy threw her too high, too high, higher than—smack! Katy went high as the trees, and then there she was, holding her heart, plummeting to the ground to shatter on top of Teague’s still form.

She woke up and woofed, then howled when she looked around the alien house with the alien sea smell and the alien sea view from the windows.

Jack tackled her before she could get to all fours and really throw her throat into the howl, and suddenly she was pinned to the floor by a tender, exhausted man.

“Shh… baby. Shh…. He’s okay. He’s going to be okay. C’mon, baby, you need to snap out of it. Please, for me?”

Jack was speaking at a whisper, and his voice sounded… funny. Strange. Broken.

Then another voice rasped across the alien space, and Katy’s heart actually beat so loud she almost couldn’t hear it.

“Jesus Christ, Jacky! What in the fuck is all that noise?”

Katy whimpered in Jack’s arms, and something broke, something that had been holding her to this wolf’s body when she was just as happy as a curvy human.

Abruptly she was soft and naked in her lover’s arms, and she was sobbing.
