Shoot and Miss (Jatta)

[Jose]

He saw the flickered gold in her red eyes,saw it and pain flashed across his own.He knew what it meant,that her wolf was still there-more now then before.But of course It would be.She was with nothing but her inner demon and Seth-a wolf inside him as well.No one had been their to counter the wolf.No one had been there to save her,to at least help her control it.
Luke's hand unwrapped around Jatta's waist,reaching up to remove her hand that had twitched,grasping it gently in his warm palm.He entwined his fingers with her's.
Silence hung in the air for awhile,he continuing to stare into the eyes he knew so well.The ones that had never changed but never looked so different.They had a hardness to them.A cold calculating sense that wanted to make Luke's hair stand on end.True enough they had always had a guarded look to them,an intelligence to old for her years.But not...not like this.At times they seemed...cruel.
"It's a question I dont want to ask,because I dont really want to know the answer.Because im afraid of what you'll tell me.I dont want to ask it because I dont want to ruin the moment.To ruin us."Whatever 'us' meant.
"I know that's not the question you asked...but its the only answer I can give you"

[Jatta]

Jatta screamed internally. Her frustration building slowly, but surely. She never took questions, or secretive answers, answers that gave no hint of what she was looking for. She hated them. She would normally force a proper answer out of the person who gave her that kind of response... but not with Luke. She couldn't. She tried so hard to get into his mind, for it would allow her even a single answer, but, it was useless.

As Luke's hand grasped her hands within his, a jolt of electricity coursed through her. Her hair stuck to her back. She shook the feeling away, and immediately it stopped.

"So," she began, "You won't ask a question because you are afraid of the answer I might give, when I might not answer at all?" Immediately, it dawned on her; the many possibilities that his question may be. She could find many that were something Luke would ask, many he wouldn't, and a few he would be scared of asking in the first place. She could guess which one it was, easily, but the right answer could only be spoken by Luke.

"You'd answer this question,because I know you.The only way you wouldn't would be if you didn't know the answer yourself....which in itself is a very high possibility."Luke had felt that short shock-wave of energy,but he was use to the sting of her touch.Used to it and cherished every pinprick of pleasurable pain.
"But im not looking for an answer right now.Just a fleeting thought,one i hadn't really intended to express.All I need is this,and the questions can wait."A faint smile traced his lips.
