High School

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela grabs the jacket and wraps it around herself. "God, what are you? A giant?" She asks, seeing as the jacket nearly reached her knees. She walks out and smiles at Emery. "Thanks." She says and laughs. "I'm surprised, most other guys I know wouldn't have covered their eyes." She smirks, and nudged him.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery smirks, sitting down underneath the tree and leaning his back against it. "In all fairness, most other guys you know probably didn't just see you as a wolf." He continues to smirk until he looks down at the ground, then back up at Leela. He stretches one leg out in front of him, while one knee is brought up to his chest, and he rests his head on the trunk of the tree.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles and gets on her knees, before sitting down on her legs. "True." She says, then laughs a bit. "What time is it?" She asks, noticing that the sun was a bit lower in the sky than the last time she checked. Her dad might be home, and she knew what might happen when she got there. She takes this time to move the jacket a little bit off of her shoulder to look at the bite her dad had given her. It wasn't so bad, but she still needed to clean it. She readjusts the jacket and looks back to Emery.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks at his phone, "its 5:30." He states, amazed at how fast the day had gone, and sad that he would have to go home soon lest his father send out his brother to look for him. He looks at her as she checks her shoulder, and when she readjusts the jacket he reaches his arm out and moves it back to see the bite himself, his fingers gentle, and cold. "Does it hurt?"

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She shivers a little when he touches her, and bites her lip. "Uh, not to bad." She says and a blush shows up on her face. She wasn't used to being touched by people, and usually she felt awkward about it, but this time it felt different. Her lip bite turns into a reassuring smile, and she rakes some of her hair behind her ear. It was probably matted, but she'd deal with it later.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He covers her shoulder again, moving his arm back to his side, he looks over at a tree opposite them, noticing her blush. He scratches his neck, sitting in silence. "Do you have homecoming at this school?" He asks, raising his eyebrows and resting his arm on his knee. He didn't know what had compelled him to ask such a human question.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Yeah." Leela says simply. She sits down completely and put her legs together, she stretches her arms out to her feet and her head touches her knees. She did this kind of stuff when she was sore, or nervous. She was both at the moment, but she wouldn't say so. She was pretty flexible, but it comes from a while of practicing.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"When is it?" He asks, pushing some of his hair out of his eyes. Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket. He declined it without looking at it, instead looking at Leela in her weird position. He didn't know why he was asking her this, what would he do? Ask her to homecoming? His parents would kill him, and her father would probably kill her. He picks up a twig from the floor and twirls it around his fingers, chewing the inside of his cheek.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela thinks for a moment, then sits up straight. "Hm. I think it's either sometime this month or next month. I never really pay attention to school stuff." She says and puts her hands in the jacket pockets. "You really are tall." She says enviously, she was pretty short after all and being in a jacket that goes down to her knees didn't help.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery nods, and smiles a little but before he pulls his other leg up to his chest. "I'm not tall, you're just short." He points out, laughing a little bit, before he looks up at the sky. It was getting darker, would she turn again? He scratches his chin. "Does it hurt when you... You know." He asks, not really knowing how to describe it.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"When I phase? Well it depends really. If I'm going through a lot of stress or if I'm in pain in anyway it hurts really bad. Sometimes, though, it doesn't hurt. Like earlier when my dad came running up, I was determined to keep him from you so when I phased it hurt a lot. Because of the 'stress' or whatever of fighting my own dad. Then on the full moon it's the same only it hurts a lot worse." She says and looks up at the sky as well. "Speaking of the full moon."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Are you going to phase soon?" He asks, biting his bottom lip, actually quite interested. He didn't want to intrude on this, seen as it was very personal, but he couldn't stop himself from being interested in something he didn't understand. He carried on twirling the twig between his fingers, looking up at some birds in the sky, flying god knows where.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Uh, yeah." She says and sighs. Full Moons were the worst. She understood Emery's interest, though, werewolves were pretty interesting. Some people always wanted to know how a human being can shift into a wolf, and it's pretty complicated. Something having to do with changing your DNA or whatnot. Leela shrugs. "Why?"

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He wanted to ask if he could watch, but then he realised that would mean seeing her naked, and he didn't think she'd let him do that. "It's no reason." He laughs a little, feeling his stomach rumble slightly. He knew that his family would right now be sitting down to a full tree course meal, with rare meat and blood... He snapped back into reality, looking at Leela.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"You're hungry again, aren't you? Like I said I can hear pretty much everything." She says, smiling a bit. "Won't your family be wondering where you are?" She asks, then her mouth hangs open. "You're going to smell like me." She gives him a worried look. She didn't want his family to freak out and hurt him if they found out he was with her. 
((I'll be right back have to go somewhere))

 

[buildingaspaceship]

((Okay! :3))


He nodded when she asked if he was hungry, but he always was hungry, he could never seem to have enough. Emery looked at his hands, thinking about how his parents would react to him smelling like werewolf for the second day in a row. "And you're going to smell like me." He points out, gesturing to his jacket. He'd let her keep it for now, seen as she had nothing to go home in, but he knew that she'd end up smelling like a vampire if she kept it, and her father would probably kill her. "I can clear out if you want, give you some privacy?"

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela gulps and looks down. "Um, I'm.. A .. Actually, I'm not.. I've never done this on my own before. My dad has always been by my side." She says, her body shaking a little bit and she takes a deep breath. That same smell filling her nostrils but it didn't smell as bad anymore, she was getting used to it. "You can go, I'm afraid if you go home any later your parents will get angry." She says smiling at him.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks up at her, and smiles slightly. "I can stay, if you... Don't mind, that is." He shrugs his shoulders, not caring that his parents would be angry with him. "My parents... They can wait." He bites his lip, pushing his hair out of his face. In truth, he was nervous about seeing Leela actually transform, but he didn't want her to be alone if she hadn't been alone before.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Uh, okay." She says and looks up at the sky. It was time. She takes a deep breath and stands up. "Don't freak out." She says as she turns her back to him and takes off his jacket. She rakes her hair back and bites her lip. Her body jerks and she falls to the ground. Her bones start cracking, starting from her feet and going through her entire body. Her face starts to become longer and her teeth get sharper. Fur sprouts up and down her body and she whimpers. She grows ears, paws, and a tail and finally body shifts and shrinks into a wolf. She turns around at Emery and looks at him.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

When Leela removed the coat Emery averts his eyes and looks at the floor, until he hears her bones cracking and he looks up to see her body jerking painfully, he grimaced, her pain evident. Emery is sat with his mouth in an 'o' shape again, his fingers clenched and his body backed up against the tree slightly. It looked so painful, he felt sorry for her. He wanted to talk to her, or touch her again, but he was too shocked to move for now.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela stares at Emery for a while until her pupils dilate and she bares her teeth at him. The wolf had taken over, she starts walking towards him slightly a growl escaping her throat but she stops. She shakes her head, then runs off in a random direction following a scent of an animal. She had forgotten to mention that on full moons she isn't in control, but he probably got the idea.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery stood up, taking the hint. He grabbed his coat and folded it up, putting it on the floor next to the tree. He got out his journal and tore a page out, getting out his pen and writing 'call me' and his number in neat writing, and leaving it with his coat, putting a small rock on it to stop it from blowing away if it got windy. He looked around before he left the woods, walking the long way to his house.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela runs and jumps over a fallen tree, chasing after a deer. The deer runs out into a clearing, and the wolf doesn't stop. She pounces at the deer grabbing it by the rump and biting down. As the deer falls Leela moves to it's neck and shakes her head, killing the deer. The wolf then starts eating the deer, biting into it's side and rump getting the best parts of it.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery walks into his house, slamming the front door. His father comes storming down the stairs, followed by his mother and Fenton. His mothers face is disgusted, the stench of werewolf radiating of Emery. As she nears him, she reaches out her hand and slaps him hard across the face, causing Emery to step backwards in shock, banging against the large wooden door. His brother grabs his mothers arm and pulls her away. His father grabs Emerys arm with a tight grip, pulling him along to his study, anger carved into his face like stone.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela walks around the clearing looking for something to drink, she could smell water so she knew she was close. When she reaches a small pond she laps at the water for a long time, then she jumps in and swims around. She cleans the deer blood off of her and then she gets out and stretches. She lays down in the mud next to the pond and slowly falls asleep.
