Caleb was running around in the rainy night. He missed being at home where he lived down the street from a stripper joint (werewolf one of course) and that was always fun. He ran around in the treetops and looked for a predator. He heard college had lots of rowdy girls walking around
Everest leaned back against the car and sighed. The light from the slowly dying fire lit up her face, showing just how bored she really was. She couldn't believe she was wasting her time this way. The gang she was with-called themselves the Reapers-was weak. They usually went around town stealing things, fighting people. The Reapers were made up of all boys, basically, some adults. She was the only girl. Today, since there wasn't anything else to do, they had ventured to the beach. A big bonfire had been created. Now, they stood around aimlessly. This was tiring.
"I'm out of here," Everest announced, turning to leave. She stuffed her hands into her leather jacket. Her wings itched to be free, but she wouldn't dare let them out. She was the gang leader. She couldn't let on that she had wings. The Reapers knew she had powers, but they didn't know what they were. It would have to stay that way. Her abilities were nothing to be proud of.
He saw a fire and stopped, smelling around. He heard clearly a smooth, female voice, "I'm out of here," and then the crunching of schools. He smirked and held back a howl. He changed back into his human form, though it was drastically different then his usual human form. It was for emergencies only. He was more built, irresistibly handsome, and had an aluring aura around him that drew everything he wanted to him. His eyes were a piercing blue.He jumped down from the trees agilely and began to walk towards her. He could sense her powers but nothing strong. Not that it mattered. She was going to be begging for him soon enough.
Everest heard a sound, but didn't stop walking. There was a chance that it was just Taco, a loser from the Reapers. She had dubbed him Taco because he spoke with a fake Spanish accent and it irritated her. He was always following her around. But...Taco wasn't there today. Who the heck was it? Everest laughed quietly to herself. If it were someone friendly, they wouldn't be trying not to make noise, now would they? She hummed softly to herself. What would she do? Sure, she could fight them, but...she didn't want to do that today. She just wanted to head home and relax. She wasn't in the mood for this.
This is pretty much inevitable, Everest thought. She swore loudly, then said, "Darn, I forgot my lighter," and started to walk back the way she'd come. When she did this, she noticed the boy who had been following her. He was cute. He had eyes...they were strange. They sucked her in. She frowned.
"I'm a werewolf," he said to her. "And I want to kill you." Everest nearly stopped walking.
The strange boy hadn't really said anything. It was just her powers at work again. They screamed out at her whenever she saw people. Sometimes they were written words, sometimes they were spoken. They screamed out someone's deepest, darkest secrets. Everest was used to it by now. She'd heard many things said. But she'd never heard something like that.
"Hey," she called out, nodding in his direction.
"Hello" he said in his smooth voice that came naturally in such a form. The girl had almost stopped, hesitating before. Did her powers sense others to know what they are? Very few he had ever met had known what he was, and they ended up either running away (only one did) but the others still went with him.
He heard her talking to herself, and almost laughed out loud. She didn't see him coming. But when she looked towards him then he readied himself. She actually said "Hey" to him. He could see that she liked him already and she was pretty bold. Most girls were shy when they saw him.She was about to step past him so he spoke up. "Where are you going on such a beautiful night?" he asked her charmingly. Maybe he could have her trust him first or maybe she was loose anyways.
