Vivian didn't remember doing much besides being with Gabriel. Of course she remembered hunting in her fur along side him. And then finding the cave and spending even more time making love to him. It had been four days. She finally had the nerve to say something about that fact.
"If we stay out here much longer I'm never going to be able to be in the same room with the Five."
He laughed at her reason and hugged her closer to him. "It is time for us to go back; we have to start getting the pack ready for the move."
She had almost forgotten about moving. She jumped up pulling him with her. "When are you going to sign the papers?"
"I was planning on going yesterday, but was otherwise…occupied." His eyes smoldered as he looked at her face.
She turned hiding her blush, "Well then today sounds like a good enough time to go. Except this time I'm coming with you. I don't think I could stand being in the same house with Esmé."
"Well then it looks like we need to get back. Esmé might still be asleep, you can sneak up to your room and get some clothes…in less you prefer the way you are now. I would have no objections," his smile proved his words.
She gave him a seductive smile as she changed into her wolf form. She turned out of the cave and flicked her tail as she took off running. It was a minute or two before he was at her side. They ran that way till they got to the brush behind her house. She changed back and took off towards her window. She climbed up the drainpipe and ducked into her room. Gabriel was right behind her. She grabbed some underwear, jeans, and a tank top and headed to the bathroom. Gabriel grabbed her wrist as she walked towards the door. He pulled her into such a deep bone crushing kiss, that she thought she was changing. He whispered in her ear that he would be back, and then left out the window. She heard his motorcycle roar to life, and a giggle from Esmé's room. Sweet moon, Tomas was still here. She tip-toed to the bathroom and turned the water on. She jumped in and started to de-leaf her hair. She relished the warm water washing her body, but along with the dirt and leaves went the scent of Gabriel.
She got out and got dressed as fast as she could. She couldn't help but glance at her reflection in the mirror. She was glowing. Then she heard the faint roar of Gabriel's motorcycle, and a door open in the hallway. Then came Esmé's tap on the door. Damn why did she have to look in the mirror, she could have been in her room by now.
"Vivian is that you?" a faint giggle was quickly hidden in a cough. Vivian opened the door to see her mother in her bathrobe, her hair disheveled, and happier than ever. It stunned her for a second.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" The motorcycle's roar had silenced, and she waited to see if Gabriel would knock or come through her window.
She decided to tell her mother what she was doing. "I'm going with Gabriel to Vermont."
"Oh…" she said suppressing another giggle. Then she grabbed Vivian in to a hug. "I told you." She quickly moved aside, giving Vivian a path to her room.
"Bye mom, I'll see you soon."
"Pick me out a good place to stay while you're there."
Esmé always surprised her; no I love you, or be careful. Not even a he's too old for you, which most parents would have said. But then again Vivian was now a leader, her mother couldn't stop her even if she wanted to. And she didn't want to, apparently because as soon as Vivian went to her room, Esmé went back to hers, and the giggles started again. Tomas better stay around, she might think him a coward, but anyone that made her mother happy was good enough for her.
She grabbed her backpack from under her bed and started shoving random clothes in it. When she turned from her dresser Gabriel was leaning against the window. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt like always with his leather jacked tied around his waist, and smiling. Either he was admiring the new glow, or the tank she was wearing that showed off her abdomen. She threw the bag over her shoulders and walked up to him.
"Well are we going or not?"
It took him a second to answer, "Yes but first we have to do a few things."
She frowned at this, she didn't want to go anywhere someone in the pack might see her. She had run off with their leader for four days after all.
"Don't worry, I just have to run by Safeway to talk to Rudy, and we can get something to eat before we set off." The thought of seeing any member of the pack made her blush. Gabriel gently reached out and stroked her face. She looked up in to his eyes and saw laughter in them.
She scowled at him, "Don't make fun of me or you're going to get lonely real fast."
"I wouldn't dream of making fun of you. If we run into any of the pack they'll know not to say anything because they'll have to face me."
She was more worried about facing the Five than the rest of the pack. They would at least have the decency to act like nothing had happened. The Five couldn't be trusted to be decent.
"Fine let's go." She climbed out the window and down the pipe. Gabriel was right behind her and snatched her hand up as they walked to his bike. Then they were roaring down the road towards Safeway.
Thanks for reading! Please Review!! I promise the chapters will get longer deeper into the story. I just want to make sure people like my writing and if they don't, oh well, I guess I'll have to try harder.
