High School

As they walk Emery looks up at the moon, a poem entering his head. They near the woods, and he grins as he looks at Leela. "Rise, pale disastrous moon, what is love but a heightened effect of time, light and distance.." He trails off before he finished the full poem, getting quieter as he ends the sentence, smirking slightly. They're at their place now, underneath the tree, and he sits down and leans against it.
 
Leela sits down next to him and pulls her knees up to her chest. She rests her chin on her knees and looks straight ahead, thinking. She then smiles and pulls a pocket knife from her boot. She turns to the tree and stabs the knife into it before carving an L, then an O, then an L. "Leela Ophelia Long." She says, smiling at her initials on the tree.
 
"You have a really nice name." He smiles, and reaches out to take the pocket knife. He carves his own initials in the tree, E, K, N. "Emery Kadence Nile." He grins slightly, then his phone begins to ring, he gets it out of his pocket and looks at the caller. His brother. Again. Angry, he throws his phone across the woods and it smashes against a tree into tiny pieces.
 
Leela smiles at Emery, then looks at the initials on the tree. "This gets to be our tree." She says, her smile widening and her lips hurting more, but she ignored it. "You know, if somebody had told me I'd be friends with a vampire over the summer I would have laughed at them." She says, turning back around and sitting down. "That looked like an expensive phone, by the way."
 
"If somebody told me that I would be friends with a werewolf, I would have laughed at them too." He laughs, then looks at the initials, before he moves closer to Leela. He lifts his hand up and tilts her head gently in his direction. "Does it hurt?" He moves his hand to her cheek and brushes his finger over her lip, not pressing down in case he hurt her.
 
A blush makes it's way onto Leela's face and she closes her eyes. "Not to bad." She says, her lips weren't the main thing she was focused on at the moment, though. She was more concerned with the feeling on her cheek when Emery had touched her, it was cold, but it felt good. She felt like she never wanted to get rid of that feeling.
 
"Why did he do it?" He asks, his finger from her lips to just next to the gash on her forehead. His voice was quiet, and all around them the sound of the wind in the leafs could be heard, the occasional owl, and crickets. He pushes back some of her hair and tucks it behind her ear, and he trails his finger down from her ear to her neck, feeling the vein pulsing underneath her skin. He moved his hand back to the side of him.
 
"Well." She starts brushing through her hair with her fingers, "I made us dinner, then whenever he sat down he smelled me, and smelled well.. You. At first he asked why, but I didn't say anything. So he got angry and so did I. Let's just say. There was a lot of broken dishes and food on the floor." She finishes, her fingers going to her head absentmindedly.
 
"I can stay away from you, if you want." He whispers, resting his head on the tree and watching the leafs blow in the wind. He brought his knees up to his chest, and rested his head on his knees, his hands wrapped around his legs. He didn't really want to stay away from Leela, but if she was going to get hurt then it was a different story. He could handle his dad hitting him, but he couldn't handle Leela's dad hitting her.
 
"I don't think that's possible." She whispers and puts her hand on Emery's back softly. "I wouldn't be able to stay away." She says, louder this time. She smiles as she hears the hoot of an owl nearby. She then looks up to the sky, half covered with the branches and leaves of the trees. It was all so pure, and perfect. She felt like she didn't deserve it.
 
"Why don't we hate each other?" He asks in general, mainly to himself but not really to Leela. It was a good question though. It was in their blood, a natural feud between werewolves and vampires since long before him or Leela were born. Since long before his father was born, probably, and that must have been at least a hundred years ago. He wraps his arm around Leela, pulling her closer and resting his head on hers.
 
"That's a good question. I have no idea." She says, as she takes a deep breath. The smell didn't bother her anymore, it was almost as if it was... Comforting? "Here's another good question. Why did the feud between werewolves and vampires even start?" She asks, she honestly had never heard anything about it. Her father only ever told her that they were awful creatures, but that wasn't true.. Well it wasn't true about Emery.
 
Emery thinks about it for a moment. "I think my father told me a story about that once, and it probably isn't true, but it goes something along the lines of bullshit and misery, some death is probably thrown in there too, and then werewolves and vampires will have hated each other since then or something." He shrugs his shoulders, he genuinely didn't know. He wanted to know though, he didn't think it fair that a feud still had to be going on, probably over some girl a million years ago or something.
 
Leela sighs, then closes her eyes. "It's probably a stupid reason. That's what happens with most people, right? A stupid thing ends up splitting people apart." She says, opens her eyes again. She didn't want that to happen between them. She picks up a leave from the ground and holds it in her hand as the wind blows. She then crumples it in her hands and holds it out, watching as the pieces of the leaf fly away in the wind.
 
"It probably is." Emery nods, and then notices something has changed. The crickets have stopped, the air has a colder chill, and he hears rustling in a bush. He stands up quickly, but then crouches down in front of Leela, as a dark figure steps out from behind a tree. As the light hits him, the white hair blows in the wind, Emery sees his brother, dressed in black from head to toe, his face scrunched up in disgust.


"Brother." Fenton greets Emery, his voice almost like poison, the stench of werewolf radiating from Leela making him sick.
 
Leela pulls her knees up to her chest, afraid. She was very afraid, the look of this vampire made her feel.. Cold? Yeah, that's the word. She shivered a little bit and bites her lip to keep her from whimpering. There was something about long white hair that scared her sometimes, but she couldn't really explain it.. Wait, the guy.. The guy in the dream she had had long white hair. Her eyes widen and she scoots as close to the tree as humanly possible.
 
Fenton moves closer, before Emery tenses up. "Do not take one more step Fenton." He warns, holding out an arm defensively. He didn't know what Fenton was going to do, but he could guess that it wouldn't be pleasant. How had he even found them? Emery stood up a little more but was still quite crouched. "What do you want?"


Fenton smiles, his face unnatural in the moonlight as he takes one step back. "I want you to come home and stop playing foolish games with dogs. You and I both know that our family does not play well with wolves." He states loudly, and moves his body so he can see Leela backed up against the tree.
 
Her brown eyes shine through the darkness, he smelled different then Emery. Why did he smell different? She hugs her knees tighter and and stares at him, taking in his features. He was.. Disturbing. Unlike his brother who looked less, what was the word? Evil. He looked evil, and she didn't like evil people.
 
"You have a taste for pretty little girls, don't you Emery?" His brother smirks, something about the way he said taste suggesting that it was more than just a romantic attraction. Fenton takes a step closer to Emery, who does something that he only does when being defensive. He hisses. Not the kind that snakes do, or cats, it was a sound only vampires could create, and it was a warning. Fenton steps back again, quickly, he hadn't been expecting that his brother would be so willing to put up a fight for the wolf.


Emery glared at him. "Don't look at her." He spits, his voice sounding as venomous as his brothers. "If you hurt her I swear to God I will kill you, Fenton." He warns.
 
Leela starts shaking at Fenton's word. Her petite figure making her seem a hundred times smaller than she really was against the tree. She notices the pocket knife from earlier just lying on the ground, so she discretely picked it up and held it behind her back, just in case she needed to use it. She knew it probably wouldn't do a lot to a vampire, but she might be able to distract him so that Emery and her could get away.
 
Fenton holds his hands up defensively. "I'm not here to hurt anybody, little brother," he states and sniffs, his face disgusted once again. "You should know that it's not my way, is it Emery? I'm not the one who hurts people, am I?" He raises an eyebrow and smirks, looking Emery up and down before pointing at him. "You are. How many girls was it over summer Emery? I couldn't even count them on our two sisters hands."
 
Leela glanced at Emery, her eyebrows raised, but she quickly turns her gaze back to Fenton. He was lying, he had to be. She gripped tight to the pocket knife behind her back, and looked Fenton up and down. He looked like a cocky person, the way he was standing and pointing at his brother. The way his expression made him look like he was above everybody else, but Leela knew better. She knew that this vampire was nothing but trash.
 
Emerys stomach tightened, "You shut up." He spits. What would Leela do if she knew that Fenton never told lies? He was always the perfect child, the honest, dependable one. Emery was the reckless deceitful liar.


"You know its the truth," Fenton raises one eyebrow, then reaches his arm out to Emery. "If you come with me now, and you never see this girl again, I won't tell father about those girls." He smirks slightly. To others it may seem like a stupid threat, but Emery knew what that would mean. "But if you don't, I will have no choice to tell him to get everything prepared, will I?"
