His hands blocked her path from both sides and he leaned in towards her neck, inhaling her scent and making her shiver with excitement. "It's hard not to feed off of you, your scent is so delicious." Her heart pounding in her chest as his lips touched her neck.
"Please change me, I want to live with you forever," She begged him as his hands rested on her hips. "Ever since you came into my life, I can't think of a life without you." His teeth grazed her neck, "Being a werewolf like you is something I dream about every night."
He smiled, "You have no idea what it's like to be one of us…to be a monster…"
Toph sighed at the screen, "This is the dumbest movie ever, why doesn't he just change her and stop being such a pansy about it."
"Don't ask me," Sokka replied, tossing a piece of popcorn in his mouth, "It was the pup's movie choice."
Jin shot a look over to the bronze skinned boy, "It's a good movie and it's finally time for the Werewolves to have their era of popularity, Vampire and Zombies got their own and now we have ours."
"Yeah, if any of the humans saw real Zombies, they wouldn't love them so much," Toph blew a stray strand of hair from her face. "They would be saying 'Ow! They're eating my guts! Why were we so stupid and want Zombies to be real?!'."
"Don't listen to her Jin," Suki told her as she hopped over the back of the sofa and sat next to her mate, "She's just upset that she lost against you for rights to pick the movie."
Toph rolled her eyes, "She got lucky, I wasn't expecting her to know how to run along the trees."
"It's because the pup is learning fast," Sokka gave Jin a playful punch in the arm. Even with her new found pain tolerance, it still hurt as she rubbed the red spot. "I'm surprised Zuko didn't want her to go out hunting with him tonight, it's been two years and he still won't take her our hunting with him." A bowl of popcorn hit him in the face, he turned to see Jin giving him an evil glare. "What was that for?!"
"Don't remind me," She growled, crossing her arms. It had been 2 years since they had moved to Canada, away from Jin and Aang's families. They had already graduated once and moved to another small town where they were starting school the next day. It was a hard transition for Jin and Aang at first, Zuko had kept a close eye on the investigation of Jin's kidnapping. It broke Jin's heart to see her family on the news crying and asking for the return of their daughter, but she knew that it was for the best if she wanted to spend her life with Zuko. The search for Jin was called off before Aang's, his Uncle never knew when to give up apparently and the search had actually made its way to the border of Canada. The police had contacted Jeong-Jeong a couple more times about his 'missing daughter', but that search was also called off. With all the time they all now had together, Aang and Jin were able to train in the ways of the pack, formations, hunting, fighting and protecting territory. They both learned that when Zuko went out to hunt, he took a special group out with him. He lead the group, kept Katara at his left flank, Azula at his right flank and Aang taking up the rear. It irked her that she wasn't allowed to go with them, though it angered Sokka more that he had been replaced. Zuko promised that it would only last for the first couple weeks so they can make sure that it was safe to go hunting, but he never did that when they first moved the Canada. She stood up, "I'm going to sleep."
Toph stood up and took a sigh of relief, "Thank God, now we can watch one of those slasher films that I've heard so much about!" Jin walked down the dark hallway out of their rec room. She liked this house a lot more than the other house they had. The house was secluded from the rest of the town, it was up the mountain on the North side of town with the forest surrounding them. Unlike the last house, it was one story and painted brown to match the forest around them. Though it was only one floor, it took up a big chunk of land. Jin walked into her and Zuko's room, it had wooden floors instead of carpet and had some pelts on the walls, as if a it were a real den. Their bed was just a King sized mattress on the floor with fake furs as their blankets. On the biggest wall was a sliding glass door that they used to get in and out easier for when they changed, a small stack of their clothes were just off to the right of it. She sighed as she sat on the bed, resting her head against her knees. 'Why won't Zuko ever let me join them? I'm just as strong as Aang and I can beat Toph…' Jin heard living room glass door open and Zuko announce they were back. Sokka was of course the first person running down the hall to get whatever they had brought back from the hunt. She waited for Zuko as she heard him walk to their rec room and then to their room.
"Hey, food is here," He told her.
"Okay," She lamely replied, her gaze away from him.
Zuko paused for a moment before going and sitting next to her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Jin lied.
"Hey," She flinched a little at the sudden stern tone he used. "Look at me." She slowly turned towards him, meeting his gold eyes, "Don't lie to me, tell me what's wrong."
"I don't like the fact that I don't get to hunt with the group…mostly, I don't like how I don't get to hunt with you…" Jin said, "It makes me feel like you think I'm weak. I'm just as strong as Aang! I can beat Toph and I've taken down 2 bears by myself! Why can't I hunt with you?!" She didn't expect herself to yell at Zuko like this, but she let her emotions go.
Zuko calmly stood up and walked towards the door, Jin was about to yell at him to come back but he shut the door instead. He walked back over to her, "Number 1, don't ever yell at me." His harsh tone again scared her. "I treat you with enough respect to never yell at you like that. Number 2, I don't take you out there because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt."
Jin stood up, "I can handle myself Zuko, I'm just as strong as everyone else."
"This isn't a matter of strength!" Jin felt her heart sink, he look almost menacing to her now. Zuko turned away from her for a second taking a calming breath before turning back to her. "We almost lost Aang tonight," He lowered his tone, "Do you know why? There are bear traps set up around the west side of the forest and Aang wasn't paying attention. I barely caught him before he ran into the trap. That would have torn up the muscles in his leg, no amount of healing with get rid of that scar or that pain." She swallowed the lump in her throat. I told Katara not to take out Aang with us, but she didn't and almost scarred her mate for the rest of his life…that's why I don't take you out hunting with us." Zuko went for the door, but Jin grabbed his wrist. He turned back to her and caught her as she hugged him. Sighing, he returned the hug, his cheek resting on the top of her head.
"I'm sorry Zuko…"
"It's fine…" He told her, "Just come get some dinner okay?" She nodded silently and they shared a kiss before he led the way out to the dining room. On the table was some Elk Meat and Sokka was already digging in.
Jin took a seat by Aang and Katara, "Are you okay Aang?"
A look of confusion crossed his face, "Yeah, why do you ask?"
"I heard you almost got caught in a trap," She said.
"No I didn't," He said a little unsure.
Jin turned to Zuko who gave a smile before running off, "ZUKO!"
She bathed in the moonlight as her sparkling wings shook the water off. Her hands ran over her silky smooth skin as she washed the dirt away. She ran her fingers through her long brown hair, making sure she hadn't missed anything. Her pointed ears perked up at the sound at the edge of the forest and she walked out of the glowing pond. The coal black pits called her eyes turned silver and her sharp teeth morphed into human like teeth. She grabbed leaf and vine dress she had made, pulling it up her curvy body, the top barely stopping above the middle of her bust and the bottom ended below her butt. She braided her long hair and wrapped a small vine around the end, making it into a pony tail. "Ty Lee?" She smiled as she heard him call out her name. Ty Lee hovered over the ground as she made her way to the opening of the clearing. She saw Teo looking around as he walked further into the forest.
"Teo," She giggled, "I'm here." Ty Lee floated back over to the pond as he walked into the clearing. It wasn't much, to the left was the biggest tree in the forest which had been hallowed out and he assumed that she slept and to the right was the pond that her fingers lightly traced over. "What brings you out to my neck of the woods cutie?"
He blushed slightly, "Um, well, I've been doing what you've been telling me and keeping an eye on Yue."
"Ah," Ty Lee smiled, "The Moon Spirit, yes, how is she doing?"
"Well, she now has these…black bracelets with red engravings on them, she has told people that they are designer, but it seems to cause her pain," Teo told her.
She stood up and flew over to her tree, going in through what he assumed was a window. Seconds later she came out with a big book and set it down on the grass, skimming through a few pages before stopping on a certain page. "Did they look anything like these?" Teo walked over and looked at the page, an ancient looking sketch of the bracelets were scrawled on the paper. He nodded and shut the book, "That means we're dealing with a witch then."
"A witch?" Teo repeated as Ty Lee carried the book back into her home.
"Yep," Ty Lee said as she flew back out, "I can't say I'm surprised. She's controlling the Moon Spirit to she use as her own. No one knows about it since The Moon Spirit doesn't really have a home, usually during the night she goes back to being a Spirit and changes the cycles, but with those bracelets…"
"She has to stay on Earth?" Teo finished her sentence.
She smiled, "See? You are learning something. I knew there were some good humans." Teo shyly rubbed the back of his head. "Anyways, with Yue not being able to return to the Moon to do her job, it has left the Moon…" Ty Lee looked up to the Moon, "Full."
"I think it looks kind of nice," Teo smiled as he looked at the Moon."
"How can you say such a thing?" She growled, throwing him off. Ty Lee caught herself before her true nature was shown to the human. She cleared her throat, "I'm sorry, but this isn't good. I'm spiritually connected with nature…with a Full Moon, nature is still alive at night. On any regular Full Moon, I can handle it, but it's throwing me off, the plants are going insane and…" She held her head, "I can't sleep." Ty Lee blinked her gray eyes a few times, "We need to break this witch's hold on the Moon Spirit so I can deal with her myself."
Teo has hesitant to approach her as she slowly walked towards her tree, "But if you 'deal' with the Moon Spirit, there won't be any Moon and that would throw off the Ocean and Nature wouldn't it?"
Ty Lee laughed, "I'm not going to kill her sweet Teo, I am merely going to control her myself so Nature can thrive again. As long as I have the Moon Spirit, my beautiful children will never suffer."
"How can we release her? I can't do anything and you never leave the forest."
She placed her finger on her chin as she thought about it, "Hmmm, you have a point. It's the beginning of the fall season and that's when schools start correct?" Teo nodded. "I got it then, I'll join your school and blend in with your classmates, befriend the Moon Spirit, then I'll take care of the witch and use the Moon Spirit to reset the balance. See? It will all work out."
"But what about how you look?" Teo asked. "You have pointed ears, the only clothes you own are made from the forest and, well, how do I put this? You have a giant pair of pink wings sticking out of your back."
Ty Lee looked at her pink see through wings with a slight frown, "I think they look cute." She sighed sadly and retracted them, making them press up against her back. "Okay, so I'm going to need some clothes then." Even without her wings, it seemed like she floated over to Teo. "You wouldn't happen to have any clothes for me, do you cutie?" Her finger made small circles on his chest.
His jaw trembled slightly, "I-uh, might have something."
Katara yawned and stretched out in the bed, reaching for her lover, but only got blankets. She lifted her head off the bed and looked over the room, but didn't find him. Getting off the bed, she stuck her head out of the door and saw that the bathroom light was off. Katara quickly got a blanket to wrap around her body, knowing Zuko's pet peeve of them being naked around the house. She tiptoed past Jeong-Jeong, Toph, Jin and Zuko's rooms and went into the rec room, Aang wasn't there either. Going into the kitchen, the living room and even into the garage, but Aang was nowhere to be found. She used her heightened sense of smell and followed his scent to the sliding glass door. Katara opened the door to see Aang on all fours panting while his claws were drawn out. "Aang!" She let the blanket go and ran to his aid. "Are you okay?"
She saw that his muscles were tense and sweat began to drip off his brow. "I…I feel so hot." He growled. A familiar scent crossed Katara's nose and her pupils dilated; Aang had gone into his breeding period.
"Aang, just relax, it's just your breeding period," She told him. Katara lifted his face up, pressing her forehead to his. She kissed him and felt the urgency from him as he returned the kiss. Aang finally pushed her back onto the ground and kissed her fiercely, holding her wrists down on the ground. She moaned loudly as his hands roamed over her body, "Oh Aang, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this."
Katara shot up in her bed, her chest heaving. She sighed in anger, this was the 3rd time this week she had had this dream. She turned to her right to see her sleeping mate, the blanket was down around his waist. Pulling the blanket up, she scooted closer to him, resting her head on his chest. He took a longer intake of breath as he was awoken. "I'm sorry I woke you," She mumbled.
"Same dream?"
"Same dream," She lamely answered.
"Come here," He pushed her chin up to kiss her softly. "We mate all the time, how can you want more?"
"Well, in my dreams, you're so dominating and controlling…it really turns me on," She purred as she began to kiss his neck.
"I thought you liked being the Alpha," Aang said as she kissed his jaw line. "I'm kind of surprised you haven't called out your name when we mate."
She pulled away from him, "Why would I call out my own name?"
"It's a joke," He explained.
Her brow furrowed, "I've never heard that one before."
"You need to pay more attention to culture now or you're going to stand out like a sore thumb," Aang told her. "I remember when I first met you? You seemed like you wanted to murder me."
"I wanted you so bad, it took all my strength not to ride you," Katara resumed her kisses and climbed on top of him.
"Now I understand why I didn't have any girlfriends before I met you," Aang said as she started to kiss his chest. "God was going to give me you, the horniest girl in the world."
She started to go under the covers, "Just stop talking."
Teo tried to ignore all the looks he was receiving as he walked down the hall. He wasn't anywhere close to a popular kid, but with the girl currently attached to his arm, he would be known to everyone in town. Ty Lee happily smiled as they walked down the hall. She had on a pink knit hat that covered her pointed ears and her braided pony tail poked out the back. Ty Lee had on a matching wool coat and black jeans, so to anyone around her, she looked like a regular high schooler. "You know, even though they tore up my land, I think this place looks really nice. Then again, this use to be where a group of witches set a family of Treants on fire…you should have seen it, it was so pretty."
He gave her a strange look, "Are you serious? That's messed up." She giggled softly as they walked into their first class. Her demeanor quickly changed when a scent crossed her nose. Ty Lee's eyes quickly searched the room until she found what it was coming from. In the back of the room, there sat a boy with spiked black hair with a bronze skinned girl holding his hand. Next to them were a boy with longer hair and a small scar by his eye with a girl resting her head on his shoulder. "What's wrong Ty Lee?"
"Have you seen those kids before?" She asked, pointed at them.
He shook his head, "No, I guess they're new here. Why?"
"They're the ones that have been trampling around in my forest," Ty Lee whispered. "Bunch of mangy dogs…" Teo didn't understand what she had meant by 'dogs' and let it go. They sat near the front of the room and the teacher walked in.
"Welcome to another year at Gaoling High School. I'll be your English teacher Mr. Jefferson, but of course, most of you already know me. I would like to welcome the new students to our small town. Now, let me do the attendance and please correct me if I get your names wrong. Aang?" He read off the first name.
"Here," Aang answered.
He wrote a little check by his name, "Ah, one of our new students. Welcome." He went through several more students, already knowing who they were and even passing Katara and Jin. "Teo, it's nice to see you again." He went down to the next name. "Toph?" A smaller girl entered the room at that moment, she wore a gray beanie with a plain black t-shirt with a green jacket over it. She had blue jeans and black converse on.
"Here," She yawned as she sat in an open seat in the front next to Teo. Toph rested her chin on her arms before her eyes went wide. A scent crossed her nose and she turned to the boy next to her, he was focused on the teacher. Toph quickly waved it off and went back to not paying any attention. Before the teacher could read another name off, another girl came rushing into the room. She had her white hair pulled back in a ponytail, a purple long-sleeve shirt underneath a blue short-sleeve shirt with a pair of jeans and running shoes. What caught the eyes of everyone were the mysterious bracelets she wore.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Jefferson, I won't be late again," She panted.
"It's perfectly fine Miss Luna, it's the first day of school." All the elder wolves looked at her closely while the fairy smiled. The girl before them wasn't like a regular student, like them, she was the most important figure in the Spiritual World. Yue Luna: The Moon Spirit.
