3rd pov
Sat on a private plane was a young girl she was staring out the window with a bottle in her hand. Looking at the girl she looked about 18 and 5ft 8, the skin you could see it was quite pale she had long black hair that went down to her waist the under layer of her hair was dyed sliver. She wore a dusty white button shirt that had the top two buttons undo, laying on top of her shirt was a large black cat eared hoodie that was decorated with cherry blossom petals, black gloves covered her hands. Her shirt was not tucked into her combat jeans that had crimson paint splatters on it; along with many pockets the jeans covered most of her steel capped boots. The only think that was odd about the girl was the mask that covered her face it had features of a wolf that was painted in with black and red, there was a thin slit where the eyes were meant to be where she looked out from.
As she continued to look out of the window, she pulled up her black headphones to block out sound that she didn't want to hear from the quite plane. That was till she felt someone tap her shoulder, she looked over and she saw that it was her caretaker Scarlet. Scarlet was a tall woman standing at 6 foot with deep red hair cut in a stylish bob, she never was seen without her suit on or her sunglasses. "We are about to land Miss please go get ready since I phoned ahead" she spoke before walking away.
She stood up and to go and wash her face to refresh herself, in a few minutes she got out of the plane. She had a duffel bag on her right shoulder a small suitcase that was rolling behind her, the handle was tied around her waist with a black scarf. She had a large notepad in her left hand as came out the gate she couldn't spot anyone that she seen in the photo that was given her. So she grabbed a black marker from one of her pockets and she wrote "The Berry's" she held it out in front of her. Scarlet walked up to her and stood silently next to her, every so often stoking her hair as they waited together.
About ten minutes of waiting Scarlet looked up from her care and saw a man standing in front of them. "You are my sister's daughter am I right?" The said girl looked up at the man in front of her and nodded at him. "Ah yes she is please call her Wolf, I'm Scarlet her caretaker" Scarlet told the man, as Wolf started to draw on a new page "Guys I found her" Wolf looked up to see that he waving over a male similar age to him and a young girl. "This is my husband Leroy and my daughter and your cousin Rachel, guys this is Wolf" Wolf nodded to them as she was lead to their car and helped her pack away her suitcase.
Wolf's pov
I looked at Scarlet as she started to explain some information to the Berry's, waiting for my cousin to slide in before I did. As Scarlet sat next to me she held my hand, smiling at me "Most of your stuff is over at the house that you brought but I thought it be nice if you lived with them for a bit" She told me, thinking about it I nodded since I do need to get settled into the town before going to live into my house. I was left to ponder in my thoughts till my cousin interrupted me. "Hi, it is so nice to finally meet you! My name is Rachel Berry, what is your name? I mean Wolf can't be your real name who would name their child that. Oh that mask why do you wear it? Is it a fashion statement over where you live or do you just wear it?" she continued after I zoned out for a few seconds till one of the Berry men turned around and scolded Rachel.
Looking at Rachel I patted her arm to show her that I didn't mind the man's, I think it was Leroy shoulder to show it was fine."It is fine Sir, she is just curious about me I don't mind at all" I wrote down then flipped to a new page while turning to Rachel. "Nice to finally meet you Rachel, my real name is Serini Luna/ Ruby but I prefer Wolf your aunt and uncle adopted me and I took both of their last names. My mask is not a fashion statement from what I know of, I been wearing masks since I can remember." I stopped writing and looked at her as she read through what I wrote.
"So can you tell me about yourself Wolf please? I won't be so forward this time" Rachel questioned me, looking like a child in a candy shop giggling. I looked at her for a moment before I nodded for her to introduce herself first. "Oh well ok I am 16 years old in my sophomores year and a vegan, I enjoy reading romance books and singing any Broadway songs, my favourite colour is gold, I know how to speak in Hebrew and Spanish and Barbra Streisand is my idol I love her, I am captain of the Glee club, I want to get into NYADA when I finish high school so I can go into Broadway! Oh do you sing too?" she finished with a blinding smile, I looked at her and started to write about myself, still I wonder did she really say that all in one breath?
"I am 19 years old, but I will be in most of your classes since Scarlet said that I need to be with people close my age. I am not a vegan, since my body needs more protein and iron then some people. My favourite colours are crimson and I guess black but that is not a colour. I enjoy playing instruments, cooking, reading, listening to music and drawing... I do a lot of drawing. I am now the CEO to my family company I have a master's degree in maths since I took it really early, right now I am working on a fashion degree. I can speak in Cantonese and Japanese quite well but learning how to write in them, I have fluently learnt Latin and I know how to speak and write Spanish. I don't have someone in my life but I do hope to find her. As for singing I do it but not really in English I like to sing in Japanese or Korean." I wrote to her as she read my writing, she looked at me and nodded taking in all of the information that I gave her.
I looked at Scarlet as she sat there quietly before I nudged her, pointing to my stomach she looked at me in a bit of confusion before it clicked. "Mr. Berry please can we go to Rose's water garden I forgotten that Wolf had booked a table for us" Scarlet patted my head as a thanks for reminding her, causing me to purr quietly. I saw Hiram nod and stared to turn the car.
"Oh of course yes... Can I ask how did you get a table there it's nearly impossible being the newest hot spot." Leroy asked me turning around from his chair. " The owner is a good friend of mine, I met her when she was travelling the world looking for new foods to try and I helped her in a pinch when she ran out of money to get food, so I helped her a bit before sending her on her way. When she heard I was coming here she wanted me to come eat at hers for free and then half price rest of the time." I told him as his husband parked in parking lot, as everyone was getting out I popped open the truck to get my suitcase out and duffel bag. I had a feeling that I needed them with me.
As we got through the door we spotted the waiter that stood at the reservation table "Table booked for 5" the waiter was about to ask under who's name till Rose ran through and pulled me into a hug. "Wolfly! It has been way too long since I have last seen you!" she hugged me harder, as I tapped her arm to let me go. She grinned at me as she dragged me to our table with the others following us, Scarlet picked up my suitcase as she was chuckling lightly to herself, as she saw the shocked faces on the Berry's. As I scanned through the menu and nodded at my choices, I waited for the others to be ready. "Ok I am ready to order, what about you guys?" Hiram looked up from his menu and saw us nod. I started to write down my order as the others told the waitress that came to take out orders." I would like for a starter eel sushi, main a blue rare steak with tartar sauce and chips. For dessert the truffle cake also could I have a grasshopper" Then handed it to her with a smile.
We waited for our food as the adults talked to each other as I listened to Rachel. She was talking about her life in school and how is it "... Its fun there I mean, sure that we as the glee club are at the bottom of the social pyramid even if we have three Cheerios. But I think they are up to something... Since their coach hates glee club" she continued to talk as the starters came and I clicked off the lower half of my mask. 'Cheerios? What are they? Some kind of cereal lovers or something, either way if I meant them I properly throw some Cheerios at them' I thought to myself as I popped another sushi in my mouth.
"Girls we hate to ruin this, but me and Hiram have to get going." I frowned, since I was hoping that I would get to know more about the two men, but understanding it I nodded and waved them goodbye. We continued to eat having some small talk. "Well look at here RuPaul can eat here. What a joke right Q? B?" a smooth voice drifted into my ears, as I looked up I saw a Latina woman... No girl she was very pretty and she was with two other girls, both blondes one taller than the other. "I know S, this like, the best and most hard to get place here, how can man hands get a place like this" The shorter blond answer her as the taller one stared at me in interest. I raised my hidden eyebrow at them as Scarlet scoffed at them. "Can you please leave us to eat our meal?" Scarlet asked politely to them, they looked at her and sneered "I don't know who are you but, if you don't shut up I'm going to go Lima Height on you" the Latina threaten Scarlet.
'Lima Height Now what the hell is that? And did she just threaten Scarlet? Really bad idea she is a black belt in many martial arts. 'I thought and stopped eating my meal to look at Rachel; her head was down and stopped eating. Frowning I held her hand on top of the table to help her, since Scarlet was having a growing shouting match with the girl. Glaring at the girl that caused my newly found cousin upset growling lightly at her, she might be pretty but no one insults my family.
She caught me growling at her as she sneered at me."Oh so what are you her girlfriend? I think someone like you would have higher standards, but seeing you with that mask I guess it works two freaks together" the Latina was about to continue, until I slammed my hand a hard on the table causing people to hear a loud crack and I felt the broken wood bite into my hand. Standing up as I growled out loudly, I l could hear Rose who was running up the stairs.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Rose shouted at us, "We were just talking to our teammate from glee club, till this person threaten us and nearly broke your table" the smaller blonde one spoke with crocodile tears and pointed to me, I grunted at her and shook my head even Rose didn't believe it as she looked over at Scarlet. "Is that true Scarlet?" she shook her head. "These two girls came and insulted Miss berry here and me calling her as I quote 'man hands' and 'Rupaul' also the Latina threaten me by 'going Lima height on me' but the taller blond didn't do anything" Rose eyes widened as I calmed myself down by breathing deeply.
"What are your surnames?" Rose asked the girls "Well Miss Lopez and Fabray, your family is banned from here; till I or Wolf deems that you can come back. You do not go insulting my honoured guests or my work partner and part owner of this place. Security, please remove these girls from my sight!" Rose shouted. "Rose can you please, wrap up the food we need to go home. Today has been a long day it's great to see you again come by the house sometime or talk to me on the phone." I smiled at her as I fixed on the lower part of my mask on and tugged Rachel up. Looking at her I saw some tears going down her cheeks, frowning I stoked the tears away as she gave me a weak smile, before I pulled her out the door. Scarlet gave some money to Rose for a replacement table and took the bags of food from her.
As we got outside I let go her hand as I saw a limo outside for us. The driver walked towards us and spoke. "Miss Wolf, you ready to go home?" My driver Jim asked, a very nice man his father worked as my driver before till he retired. I nodded my head and left the two others get in first. I looked in the distance and saw the girls that got kicked out with their mouths open slightly and eyes bulged out, well two of the girls, the taller blonde was still staring at me. I got in the limo and nodded to Jim to drive to my new home, looking at Rachel she seem be quieter after bumping into the three girls. Sighing I patted her head; I really don't know how to look after someone younger than me, but still I have to try.
The ride was short as Scarlet went to the house and we were dropped off at Rachel's house. "She's not staying with us?" Rachel asked, I shook my head and carried the food into the house. It was a homey place full of pictures family and small items that make the place feel like a home but... Something seems to be missing. As I walked into the kitchen I placed the food down and found a note, picking it up I read it.
Dear wolf and Rachel,
I and Leroy are off on business for about a month or so, we are sorry about this. We will leave some money for you guys to buy lunch and food or other items that you need.
I looked to the side of the note and saw a pile of money turning around to show Rachel I heard sigh. "They are gone aren't they? At least I'm not alone this time." I looked at her strangely. "They do this a lot leave for a month or so and come back for a couple of days then go again" I nodded, so that's what was missing in this home I smiled at her trying to show her that I was here by patting her arm softly. "Here, eat up I bet you will feel a bit better after eating." I pushed her meal towards her after I heated them up. We sat there eating in a comfortable silence that was till Rachel spoke up. "I'm sorry that you had to see that at the restaurant, I bet you are ashamed of me" I looked up from my cake and looked at her strangely, why would I be ashamed of her, it wasn't her who acted out. But either way I shook my head showing her that I didn't care, after we finished we when our separate ways.
I found my room it had a wooden sign hanging off the door. As I walked into my room I saw the mover's haven't placed my items in yet. I guess Scarlet told them not to bring them till tomorrow, since I haven't decorated the walls yet. At less the carpet was placed in it was a dark forest colour and covered in clear plastic, which was a shame since I really wanted to see what it felt like under my feet. I dropped off my duffel back and suitcase, before walking off towards the opposite room that was across my room. Looking at the door, I pulled out a key from my pocket and unlocked the door inside I saw my piano. Smiling I walked over to it running my fingers over the smooth top before sitting at the bench, slowly I felt my eyes give way to the sleep that I needed. My last thoughts was of mother... sitting at the same piano teaching me how to play as father stood next to us listening one of the last memories I have of them before they were taken away from me.
