High School

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela finishes her food in a matter of minutes, being the day of the full moon she'd be eating a lot more than usual. She stands up from the table and takes the plate to the sink before popping her back. She takes a deep breath, expecting to smell the fresh air wafting from the door, but instead it was that smell she had smelled the day before. The smell her father smelled on her clothes. "Emery?" She asks herself, then walks slightly towards the door. Instead of looking out of it she looks out of one of the windows, to see just the guy she thought it was.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks up at the house, the stench was more prominent here, more than one werewolf probably lived in here. But how many werewolves could there be in town? It had to be Leelas house. He was tempted to go up to the door and just knock, but on the off chance that Leelas parent opened the door and recognised him as a vampire, he didn't fancy losing his life. He looks up at the house for a moment before turning around and looking at the floor, checking his phone.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela tilts her head and stares at him. Why was he here? Did he know she lived here? Or was he just on his daily skipping school stroll and happened to smell her? She shrugs her shoulder and walks over to the door, peeking out of screen door that wasn't open. "Emery?" She calls, she noticed that he was looking down at his phone, and not at the house anymore so she knocks on the screen making a loud rattling noise.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks up and heard his name, and the rattling on the screen door. He turns, "Leela?" He calls back, one of his eyebrows raised questioningly. He didn't step closer to the house, subconsciously afraid that if he did then someone would walk out and kill him. Werewolf ground was forbidden territory in his mind, and a vampire walking into their territory was probably the least thing a werewolf wanted.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"What are you doing here?" She calls, not opening the door. She looked horrible she didn't want anybody to see her, she had a beard for Christ's sake. "Why aren't you at school?" She asks, and sticks her face up to the screen door to get a better look at him, he looked like he was going to school, but maybe he was just skipping.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I cant be in school." He states simply, stepping a little closer to the house. "Something came up, and I don't want to go. I-" he trailed off, closing his mouth before he said that he didn't want to hurt anyone.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Oh, okay then." She says. "I guess you know why I'm not at school." She says and smiles a bit, her teeth sticking over her bottom lip. "Did they smell me? Your parents?" She asks, touching the scratch on her cheek lightly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery remembers his mothers face of disgust when she smelt Leela. "Yes, but there were more important things at hand." He looks down at his feet then back at the door. He felt awkward talking to her from the street while she was inside. "Do you want to go somewhere? The woods or something?" He asked.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She thinks about it for a while then nods her head. "Yeah, sure just let me put a hoodie on." She says before walking away from the door and into her bedroom. She grabs another hoodie from her closet and puts it on. She puts on her hood and she walks outside, closing the door this time. She keeps her head down, hiding her face and smiles. "Alright."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks at her, hiding her face, he wondered why. He'd never seen a werewolf on a full moon before, but then he'd never really encountered a real life werewolf. He begins to walk to the woods, having turned his music off it was quiet for a moment, neither of them saying anything. Emery's stomach rumbled loudly, and he grimaced.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Hungry? Do you drink animal blood or only human?" She asks, she knew there were many animals in the woods and she would be able to track one down for him. She bites her lip, wondering if he'd laugh at her for saying something like that, but she would be more than happy to help him out.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery considers it for a moment. "I drink anything that's going." He bites his lip and looks at the ground and then back at Leela. He was aware that made him sound like... Like a bloodthirsty monster. But then again, that's what you are, he thinks to himself.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela nods, she understood. "Alright, we can catch something in the woods." She says and pulls her hood down lower. She smelled a lot of things as she was walking with him and it was disturbing her. Her senses were always enhanced on the day of the full moon.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

All he can hear is her heartbeat, her words muffled and barely audible. He's silent for a moment, as they walk into the woods the trees surround them. He hesitated for a moment. "I..." He wants to tell her about his father, he wants to share with someone whats on his mind but how could he know he could trust a werwolf?

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Hold that thought." She says and takes her hood off. She sniffs a bit and smells a rabbit a few yards off. She hears it scurrying around on the ground and licks her lips. "You can finish once I get you some food." She says, then winks and walks behind a large tree. She takes her clothes off and hangs them on a limb. She concentrates on phasing, it wouldn't be as painful as usual and she would be able to stay phased for longer. Soon she felt herself shrink down to all fours and she trots out and looks at Emery.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks at the wolf, his mouth opens into the shape of an 'o', feeling sort of afraid. Would Leela hurt him? Would he have to hurt Leela? He stands still, tense, and clears his throat as he looks over her dark brown coat. He could finally say he'd seen a werewolf, a literal werewolf, in their wolf form.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela wags her tail a bit, then sticks her nose to the ground. She was tracking the rabbit, and she knew she could catch it. She walks in zigzags, and catches back onto the scent. She disappears into some brush and sees the rabbit. It was sitting there eating some kind of plant, so Leela sneaked closer to to it. Her foot hits a leaf and the rabbit looks up. When it sees the brown wolf it's eyes widen and it scurries away, Leela right on its tail. After a couple minutes of chasing the rabbit she grabbed it by the foot with her teeth and trotted back to Emery.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He takes the rabbit from Leelas teeth hesitating slightly, then he looks at it, it's still alive, and Emery snaps its neck with his hands before he looks at Leela. He looks at the rabbit in his hands, blood trickling down out of its feet. Emerys eyes darken and his mouth begins to water, his fingers digging into the rabbits fur.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela sits down and looks up at Emery, until she got a better idea. She'd go and change back, she honestly didn't want to watch this. She walked happily back to her tree and phased back, her teeth still big and her eyes still green. The hair on her neck was gone, though. She grabs her clothes from the tree branch and starts to change back into her clothes, leaving the hoodie off.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery watches her go, and when she's behind the tree he looks down at the rabbit. He crouched down on the ground and pulls the rabbit close to his mouth, before sinking his teeth in to the flesh and sucking the blood from its veins. Some of the rabbits flesh getting into his mouth and he chews, swallowing as he feels the blood dripping down his chin and onto the floor. The blood smearing on his hands.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela walks out from behind the tree and looks at him, she sees the blood all over him and throws him her hoodie. "Clean yourself up." She says, laughing a little bit. She stretches her arms and climbs up on the tree that she was behind. She climbs up to the middle of the tree and looks down at Emery smiling. She then touches her canine teeth and wipes the excess blood from the rabbit from them.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks at the hoodie and ignores it, getting a pack of tissues out from his bag. He didn't know much about girls, or werewolves, but he knew that wiping rabbit blood on their hoodies could probably be considered rude. He wipes his face with tissues, and looks down at the blood on his hands. He wipes that off too, using the bottle of water in his bag to clean it off. He coughs slightly and kicks the rabbit carcass with his foot gently, then puts his water bottle back in his bag and stands up, looking up at Leela.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles, then hangs upside down on the tree branch. Her hair hangs straight down, along with her arms. Her tank top falling slightly, showing her stomach. "So, what were you going to say earlier?" She asks closing her eyes and swinging back and forth. She smiles when she feels the wind rush through her hair.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery lays on his back underneath the tree, his arms behind his head looking up at Leela. "I'm not allowed to drink blood in school anymore. They won't let me take any." He says, no expression on his face, his eyes on Leela, flickering to her stomach and then back to her face.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela opens her eyes and swings back upright before jumping to a lower branch. "So that's why you skipped school today? So you wouldn't end up attacking anybody?" She asks, as she lays on her stomach with her arms hanging off the branch. "Do they want to be discovered or something? Because that's what it sounds like." She adds and jumps up when she hears a howl.
