A Visitor

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka sighed as she skillfully lifted another piece of chicken teriaki to her lips. She chewed routinely and swallowed as she read her copy of Breaking Dawn. Psh! This is so unrealistic! She scoffed, but she kept reading. After all, she had nothing better to do. Plopping some white rice into her mouth, she put her bookmark into her book and walked to her window. For once, her incredibly long hair was pulled back into a ponytail and yet, it was still slightly below her butt.

She admired how pretty the sky was at night. She had always loved it. Watching the stars made her think of her desceased parents and siblings. She had once heard that everytime someone dies they become a star and watch over their relatives. She was lost in deep thought when she heard a quiet knock on her door. She turned and looked at the door curiously. Come in, she said welcomingly.

Charlotte fumbled with her keys. Damn thing, Flicking her brown fringe from her eyes, she found the right key and slipped it into the lock. Crossing the reasonable sized living room, she dumped her bags in the corner and flopped onto the bed. Her beat up old cherry red Beetle was sitting outside in the parking lot smoking its engine. Char sighed. She'd have to go and change the carburetor tomorrow. After remaining still for a while, her wolf nose picked up the strong smell of chicken teriaki. Yum. Standing and walking to the door, she exited her apartment and locked it. She didn't want anyone stealing her stuff. Despite her usual preference for her own company, Char wanted to meet people in this town, and make friends.

The scent seemed to be coming from the next door along. She raised a fist to knock on the door, but sensed someone standing behind it. Pushing the door open after the invitation, Char saw a tall, blonde young woman. She was pretty, and seemed welcoming. [blue]Hey, I'm Charlotte Grayson. I just moved in next door and wanted to say hi. Plus, your chicken smells delicious![/blue] Grinning, Charlotte breathed in. She was a werewolf. This made her smile even wider. Looking behind her, she saw the meal and a book resting near it. Breaking Dawn, interesting choice. Looking back to the blonde woman, she decided to circle around the information that she was a werewolf, and wait until she exposed it herself. [blue]You like the Twilight series?[/blue] Charlotte gestured to the book, watching her expression carefully. My, Charlotte was being friendly tonight. [blue] I personally think it's a little.... Untrue.[/blue] She'd wait and see what she said to that

Amelia left her room to go down to the kitchen to get some food. It was rather late, and most everyone was asleep. Quietly, she slipped down the hall-way and entered the kitchen. Sitting on the counter was one of her favorite foods, chicken. "Perfect," she said quietly, reaching out to grab some. After placing the chicken on a plate, she headed back to her room. She heard voices coming from Lu's room. Well, at least I'm not the only one awake, thought Amelia as she knocked on the door.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka grinned and wrinkled her nose. Of course the chicken smelled good. They were werewolves and all meat smelled good to them, whether it was raw or not. She chuckled and walked over to her bed, crossing her arms. I'm Luschka Desmile. But you can call me Lusch or Lu. Either one is fine. Lu looked cryptically at her book and nodded. It's okay. And I totally agree. So unrealistic. Seriously, Stephanie Meyer should research this stuff before throwing it in a book. The only reason I read it is to bask in the wonderful romance of Bella and Edward. Wish I could find someone to love me like that.

Pausing, she thought of the werewolves in the Twilight series. Continuing her rant she added things about Jacob. Personally, Jacob pisses me off. She said with a hard chuckle. I'm glad that us werewolves aren't like those. She wrinkled her nose and grinned evilly. We're cooler, she added with a wink.

She picked up the chicken teriaki and offered it to Charlotte. Want some? She asked with a friendly grin. She picked up an unused fork and held it next to the carton of chicken teriaki. That was when she heard a small, timid knock on her door. She smiled knowing who it was right away. Amelia, she smiled and called for her kindly. Come in Amelia.

[grebe]

Charlotte nodded as she talked easily. Luschka. Pretty name.[blue]I'll call you Lu, if that's ok.[/blue] She tipped her head slightly. To get that close to someone was a little daunting to Char, she wasn't a fan of intimacy. I suppose I can't really say I've never gotten close to a guy, in fact, I think I've gotten as close as two people can get. Thee brown-haired woman thought a while about Bella, her eyebrows coming together. Bella just seemed a little unrealistic herself. A real person wouldn't be that understanding if they discovered their boyfriend was a vampire. Not that vampires were real.

[blue]Jacob pisses me off too. He's an arrogant pig, and so stupid. No way would he eve be a werewolf![/blue] Char's eyes widened as she admitted herself as a werewolf. She would never have been that open about it. She loved changing, as it gave her freedom, and the ability to run and experience the wild wolf's stamina. Smiling at the memories of running on four legs, she looked Lu in the eye. [blue]Yep. I'd have to kill myself if werewolves were like that. I like being the wolf I am.[/blue] Taking the chicken offered to her, and biting into it, letting the juices tingle on her tongue. Heaven.

Hearing a sound behind her, a knock, Charlotte turned and waited for the door to open, wondering who this Amelia was.

[liepard442]

Amelia entered to see Lu and someone she had never seen before. "And it looks like someone had the same idea as me," said Amelia, chuckling as she took a bite out of her chicken. "Hi, I'm Amelia," said Amelia to Charlotte. "So, what's new? Meet anyone that was new in town today?" Amelia asked Lu. Is that, no it can't be. But yet, my nose has never failed me. But, if I know Lu, she wouldn't do anything like that, thought Amelia, smelling an all familiar scent on Lu.

Amelia took another bite of the chicken she had picked up. "And, I may not have read them. But those books are not accurate. I don't get why girls like them so much, they are filled with lies."

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka blushed a deep pink and grinned cheesily. She looked at Amelia and her grin turned wicked. She bit her lip, thinking about the day she had had with Seth Amos today at the Bandstand. I did meet someone very interesting. His name is Seth. He's actually a werewolf hunter....and not just any werewolf hunter. He's the Amos kid. She had become serious all of a sudden. The Amoses were no family to mess with. Werewolf Hunters from the beginning of time.

She looked from Charlotte to Amelia, then back at Charlotte. She looked down. ....and....he kissed me. She looked at the two with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost. She really hoped they wouldn't tell. Seth didn't even know she was a werewolf. If he knew, he would probably have her head on a stick. She knew she could trust Amelia but she had no clue if she could trust Charlotte. Looking at Charlotte she raised an eyebrow.

[grebe]

Char watched as Lu blushed a deep pink. Looking at Amelia, she thought to herself that she was probably about 15 years old. Smiling, her friendliness hadn't evaporated yet. She instantly liked Amelia. Looking back at Lu, she realized she was a little uncomfortable. Seth Amos?! Oh my god! Charlotte's mouth literally dropped open in instant fear for the blonde. [blue]Oh my God, Lu get out of there quick. If he finds out he'll kill you![/blue] Her green eyes searched hers. She reached out a took the young woman's arm, wanting to shake the stupidity out of her. Restraining her wolf strength, her eyes flickered to Amelia to see what she would say to this.

[blue]Ok, I know we've only just met but I've seen what Seth can do. And I know what he's like. He'd kill you without batting an eyelid, despite what you think of him. I won't tell anyone but... Don't go any further.[/blue] Her eyes flashed their wolf gold as the emotion raging inside her for Lu almost tipped her over the edge.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka looked at Charlotte. She couldn't help feel like she had known this girl for a while and they were close. She wanted to do as Char suggested, but she couldn't even bear the thought. She shook her head and frowned. I wish I could...but there's something about him....something amazing that I feel drawn to. Like a wolf to the carcass of a moose. She looked at the two girls and pursed her lips. I think I know how Bella feels now.

Lu turned and looked out the window. I know I sound crazy, but....I really like him. I need to know his plans too though. This is the best way. I need to protect the pack and this is my duty, along with my pleasure. If I continue to see him and I get killed, then I guess I die honorably for my pack because there is no way he will find out unless I have to protect my pack. She turned slowly. Protect you. This addition added on was mostly for Amelia, whom she was very close to and protective of. They were like sisters.

It was also meant for Char too though, because she felt close to this girl even though they had just met. She looked between the both of them to see how they would react to this reply.

[liepard442]

"Lu, be careful. You know how dangerous he is," said Amelia. "Plus, like Charlotte said, as soon as he finds out you're a werewolf, he'll kill you."

Amelia sat down on Lu's bed and finished the rest of her chicken. "Plus, we all know why he's in town. He's looking for us. If you forget who he is, a fine example is my mom. He knew there was a younger werewolf near-by when he killed her. He would have killed me, too, if he would have known where I was hidden. He knows I'm still alive, but he doesn't know what I look like. All he knows is what my mom called me before he killed her, which was Amy. If it weren't for that hole under a tree that was covered with snow, he would have found me."

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka nodded understandingly. She knew all this already, she had even thought it through before she agreed to meet him earlier today. I understand. I thought it all through before I went to take a 'hike' with him earlier today. He was actually going to hunt and I asked if I could come so if he ran into anyone I could help the wolf. We need to warn the pack that it isn't safe anymore. This is a whole new level of bad. Once Eclipse hears that the Amos kid is back, he'll flip. Wait. Maybe we should just keep Seth's location a secret between us three. If Eclipse finds out Seth could be in deep shit. And I don't want that to happen. Now, if he breaks my heart that's a different story. But right now I want him to not be hunted. It would force him to hunt us and then he would find out I'm a werewolf and then we'll all be screwed.

Lusch looked at the other two girls wondering if they'd go along with her plan for now. Lu was a natural born leader and usually no one contested her word, but every so often there was that one rebel who snuck out of line and she'd have to beat the crap out of them. She looked at the two and picked up her large carton of rice and picked up her chopsticks tentatively. Expertly she started shoveling the white rice into her mouth. She hadn't realized how hungry she was. Maybe it was just her nerves....

[liepard442]

"Alright, I'll keep it a secret. But, keep him as far away from the pack as possible if you can. I don't really like him being here, but as long as nothing out of the ordinary happens we should be fine. We just need to be extra careful," said Amelia.

Amelia started playing with her hair out of habit. Taking her hair out of its pony tail and putting it back in.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled and hugged Amelia. Thank you. And don't worry. I'll make sure everyone is safe. And I would never dream of bringing him here. That's incredibly dangerous. She sighed and released Amelia from the circle of her arms. If anything should happen to me, I just want you to know I love you and that's I'll always be with you. She spoke to Amelia softly.

She looked up at Charlotte. And I want you to know that I'm sorry we might not get to know each other very well because you and I would be one bad-ass duo at the bars. She laughed and patted Char's arm. You're pretty cool. she said with a wicked grin. She laughed and patted Amelia's knee. But hopefully nothing happens though. She chuckled.

[liepard442]

"You'd better be. Trust me, I'll know if he finds out. He'll be watched like a hawk," said Amelia laughing. "Even if I have to do it personally."

Amelia smiled, and then said, "I'm just kidding, I'm not going to stalk anyone. At least, I think I won't. But, I'll watch out for him when I'm out and about. And, if I see him chasing after anyone in the pack, I will tell that he's here. But, that's the only exception to my promise. Other than that, I won't even mention his name to anyone."

{Im going to wait for Grebs to reply now because I don't want to overwhelm her. Lol}
