Chapter 1:
A New Beginning
Vivian stared out her window feeling lonely but happy at the same time. She couldn't believe herself, but she missed Aiden's little quirks. The sun was setting and there was a lovely, warm breeze about. She wanted to be out, running with the pack; she wanted to be with Aiden. She missed how she could feel so human with him, how he could make her feel so special, but she had Gabriel for that now.
Didn't she? Didn't he, willingly, tell her his secret and comfort her when she couldn't complete her change? He had been there for her, whether she liked it or not and that was more than Aiden could ever do, now anyways. As another breeze wrapped itself around the corner of her house she felt a cool spot on her cheek. She gently reached up with her hand and found she had silently cried herself river of tears.
'God,' she thought, 'I am utterly pathetic without a man in my life. I wasn't this way when I was single, so why now?' She quickly dried her face with her shirt and pulled her hair in front of her face.
"VIVIAN!" hollered Finn, laughing. She heard them, but she couldn't see them; that made her anxious.
"Hey Viv," Willem jumped on the roof and walked awkwardly towards Vivian who was sitting in the window frame.
"Ahaha! Did you see the look on the woman's face?" Gregory and Finn were roaring with laughter on the ground below ready to jump to the roof like Willem.
"Not again," Vivian's voice was filled with annoyance. That was the fifth time this week they scared a poor woman out of her wits.
"Really Viv, if you were there you would be laughing to," Willem said snaking his arm around her waist as best he could.
"No, I, unlike you, actually have a sense of humor, unlike you, who are mindless jerks."
"Na, we just like to have a good time," said Finn as best he could.
"Where's Ulf?" Suddenly, Willem, Finn, and Greg stopped laughing.
"He's, he's been too depressed lately. We tried to talk him into coming with us, we told him it would cheer him up, but you know how he is now." Vivian sighed. She figured something along these lines would happen.
"Don't go puffin' air! We tried!" said Finn, who was annoyed at Vivian's lack of interest in him.
"I know something that will cheer you up," smirked Greg.
"No, you know something that's going to cheer you up."
"What's the difference?" he asked and the worst part was that he sounded as if he meant it.
"I have stuff to do," she said, and got up from the sill and hopped on her bed.
"Like what? Watch the sun set off the deck this time? What do you have to do Vivian? Go hunt down a meat-boy?" That last part from Finn really hurt Vivian. She hated how her every move was monitored by everyone in the pack. Couldn't she lead her own life? But she ignored them and walked into the kitchen. She went to the cabinet, removed a tall glass, and poured herself some water from the sink.
She chugged the glass in seconds and re-filled her it. The second time though, she sipped it, holding the glass with her right hand and holding on to the counter with the palm of her left, looking out the window. When she was done she put her glass in the, no longer empty sink, and stalked back off to her room. When she got there, sitting on her bed, reading a magazine was Gabriel.
"Vivian," he said without looking up.
"What are you doing here?" This time he looked up, hurt.
"I came to see you, is that such a crime?" he changed his expression so now he had an innocent smile on his face.
"When you trespass," Vivian walked into the room and sat on her chair across from her bed.
"I did no such thing," again he looked hurt, but in a mocking way.
"Then why are you sitting on my bed?"
"Because I find it comfortable and the door to the porch was open."
"That is trespassing," she crossed her arms, annoyed at the "trespasser".
"Uh, Vivian, I didn't come here to argue with you," he sighed.
"Then why are you here?"
"Would you like to go out?"
