Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bethany watched him run off back to the forest until he was out of sight before going inside. She felt like she would not be able to go to sleep now, excited as she still was from the run with the lycan. She left the front door unlocked and fixed herself a small bowl of cereal and sat on her bed, eating it as she read her book on quantum physics. It did not take long for her to become so engrossed in the book that the cereal sat in her lap forgotten.

Bethany was still reading, the time slipping by unnoticed around her. She yawned as she turned yet another page in the book. She glanced up, looking out the window, wondering when Josh would be back. As much as she had been caught up in her reading, she still was having problems keeping the exhilerating rush of the run, and the feeling of being held in his strong, gentle arms out of her mind.

I walked slowly to Bethany's house seeing how this town's night life was. There were lovers and fighters aound almost every corner at night. "They say the night creatures are bad." I muttered. I had already stoped two muggings and helped one late night store from getting robbed. This place is like hell at night, so diffrent form the quite, nice, comfortable, and peaceful place it is in the daytime. "Where is the law?" I asked myself as I wandered the streets. Perhaps it was time for night creatures to take back the night and perhaps give order to the law. Sighing I turned the final corner to Bethany's house and walked up to her porch finding the door unlocked, I began to panic. Did she know I would be back tonight or had someone broke in. I rushed into the house and yelled "Bethany are you home?"

Sighing with relief I climbed the stairs and just barely kept myself from laughing. "Uh...Bethany, I don't think you wear cereal." I said jokingly. Walking past her I went to my room and and grabbed an old gray button up shirt and a pair of dark jeans. Taking off the stretchable shorts I slipped on some briefs and socks and got dressed.

I walked over to her room and knocked on the open door. "Um..Bethany if you don't want to go to the Blood Manor I understand. I can go by myself and ask them about donating blood to your research while I'm there." I said. Then I noticed her blushing face. "Are you ok Bethany? You look a little red." I said a little concern creeping into my voice.

"Bethany we need to talk about things on what to do when you're with a wolf. First thing is the wolf is an entirely diffrent thing in me. Think of it like two minds in one body. While in my human form the wolf either sleeps or whispers things to me. Well when in wolf form the wolf is the thing that decides what to do and it's my voice that is whispering to it. Tonight when you tried to show a submissive form, it confused the wolf because it looked like you either wanted to be eaten by him or wanted him to take you as a mate. I'm sure you wouldn't have liked either one. To show peace to a wolf, or least a wolf that might actually listen, just spread your hands wide with palms facing upward." I looked at her hoping what I said got through to her. "Also you should thank the wolf if you ever see him it was him that wanted to let you feel the wind like a wolf."

I thought about it for a short period of time and chuckled. "You know I never thought to ask. He would always call me human shell, and I would always call him wolf. Perhaps next I hear from him I will ask on your behalf. He seems to hold you second to his mistress." I said with a hint of amusement in my voice. "So Bethany since you're going to the Blood Manor with me what time do you think we should leave?" I asked.

"It basically means he likes you as a friend. He use to only like his mistress or the moon as you human's call her." I looked out her window for a second before continueing. "I won't need to hunt during this cycle again and you're probably right about thier reluctance at day time. I say we go later that way you can gather the information on what blood you might want from them." I said while thinking about what I would ask them.
