Peter was late getting to his campsite, tripping over his feet as he scanned the bushes and trees around him for any sight of the dragon- shifter, staring hard at any patch of anything that looked slightly different, any wiggle in the grass that might have been something big moving around him.
So distracted, it was dark before Peter made it to the clearing halfway up the mountain, a rocky outcropping that backed to a shallow cave, surrounded by the woods on two sides, staring out across the valley in front of him.
It was peaceful, even in the dark, maybe especially in the dark, far away from all the reminders of how different Peter was, how much of a misfit he was, how he was most likely set to be lonely his entire life without the ability to shift, to attract a mate.
It was peaceful out here in the dark, and for once, Peter felt that he could actually breathe.
“Breathe.” He whispered to himself, closing his eyes and concentrating on the silence around him. “Breathe.”
Some part of him still thought that if he tried hard enough, or centered himself enough, or maybe if he just concentrated, maybe it would spark inside him, that he would at least partial shift. Maybe even just flicker with stripes like May did when she was irritated, or have his eyes change like Uncle Ben’s used to.
He would be happy with just a flicker.
But nothing ever happened, not even here in the peace of the woods and Peter sat back in frustration.
He didn’t even know why he tried anymore.
