I do not own any of these characters. This is my first attempt at a story on fanfic. This is an au from the Ginger Snaps movies.
CH 1
The basement was dark and musky. There was no escaping the stanch of burned hair and flesh. Her senses were becoming stronger, and what
she sensed was nauseating. Nausea was the least of her problems as the pains of her transformation racked and contorted her body. She
howled in pain as her spine began to enlongate slowly tearing the muscle and tissue to be rebuilt as something else. She would never
again be more human than she was at this very moment and it was slowly slipping away. The pain again and another howl. Suddenly the light
flooded in and a gust of fresh air. Movement came into the darkness.
"I can help you."
A violent stab and a searing hot burst of pain...darkness.
Brigette bolted awake. Her arms flailed hitting the wall and the corner of the night table beside her bed. She was safe now. In her new
room...her new life. "Damn, third night in a row," she though as she reached for the glass of water she left beside her bed. These dreams
just wouldn't let up. Of course they always seemed to be worse the week after the full moon. Coming down off the change always seemed to
peek them for some reason. "Well, I guess that is all the sleep I am going to get tonight," she mumbled to herself as she got up walked
to the livinging room and turned on the TV.
BAM...BAM. JB lept from his bed at the noises. Between the adrenline and the closeness to the full phase, he was able to go from fully
asleep to ready to fight in mere seconds. His senses and body go into stand down as he realized that it is just his new room mate. "She
must be having them again," he though to himself. He started to wonder if she would ever move past what she went through. It had been
three full cycles already and everytime she changes she has night terrors for at least a week after. She is not the first one he has ever
hunted, but she is the first one he has ever brought home. Part of him wanted to lay back down and see if he could pick back up the good
dream that he had been having. Those were hard to come by for people who have seen what he has seen. Instead he went to the living room to
see how the girl was.
The young woman heard him come out of the room and watched him as he walked around the couch and took a seat beside her. She was partially
sorry that she had woken him, but that was over shadowed by the part of her that was glad he was sitting beside her. Even at the lowest
phase their senses are far beyond a normal person's, but in the times around the full phase their pheromones could drive each other crazy.
This was different somehow. she was just glad to have a presence near her...his presence. She mentally rolled her eyes at these needy
thoughts, but that didn't change the facts. She snuck a peek at him as he watched the news channel that she had turned on earlier. He was
not a terribly handsome man. lines across his face and what seems to be a permanent scowl made her think that he probably hasn't had a whole
lot of reason to smile in his life. Even with this there was something that drew her in. "Why not," she thought. "He tracked me found me.
He saved me from that disgusting basement and from that...existence." in the middle of all this debate she hardly noticed the warm hand on
her own. No words needed to be said. That was one of the perks of what they were, and what they will be to each other. They didn't need
words. They cuddled on the couch as the TV lights flickered all around them. Their sleep was peaceful and somehow complete.
I will be out of town for the next couple of weeks but I'll try to update before I Leave.
