One Day
Chapter Two –Lord Tubbington says so.
I don't know how long I've been running for but it seems like only five minutes have passed since I ditched my stepmother in the grass' company.
It's twilight now and through the trees, the sky looks supernatural. The Golden sun is setting once again in Ohio before going into a peach pink where then it finally settles on a light lilac before going into a turquoise blue and then finally, navy blue where no clouds are to be seen. Tree's stand on guard in front of the scene, but I can see no color on them besides black were the shadows are cast on them.
I stop for a second, taking in this beautiful and sight. It's been the first time in years that I have seen anything like this, yes, I've seen the sun set and rise from the bedroom window but that was nothing important to see because it didn't mean anything special to me. But this, this feels special, it's probably because this is the first time as a wolf and in my natural surroundings I have seen the sun set; I cant help but wonder if this is what it feels like every night for a werewolf?
I sigh approvingly as I glance my surroundings. Nothing except row after row of tree's, bushes, grass and stones. I notice the air around me going cold and bitter considering the sun is no longer providing me with warmth.
Shit, I need to find shelter…. I think to myself, now I only think of the dangers that could possibly occur. What if there are other werewolves that want to harm me? What if I can't find any shelter at all and some sort of beast finds me?
STOP IT SEBASTIAN! I scold my self, shaking my head forcefully trying to get all the doubts out of my head but instead; my actions just create a jumble of panicked thoughts trying to over take my brain.
From nowhere, I hear the low howl of a wolf in the distance, telling me that the forest is his and his packs and then, multiple yaps of approval join in. Inside, I feel my stomach drop.
Better find that shelter before they find me… With that, I bolt off into the forest, hoping I find shelter and hoping I don't run into them.
It's gone completely black now with only the twinkling stars and the crescent moon guiding me on, my paws are beginning to ache a little, my stomach grumbles from an empty stomach and my throat crying out for water.
In the distance, I see the moon light reflecting on something hallow. I pace forward curiously; my eyes adjust to see that I've hit the jackpot for my shelter. A cave, hidden in the undergrowth of some bushes, from here, it looks like your average size cave but looks can be deceiving.
Stumbling in, it's even darker in here but I can't smell anything potentially harmful all I can smell is moss and dampness but I don't mind that. Keeping myself away from the front of the cave, I circle before lying down and settling down for the night.
Maybe Tomorrow I can find food and water…
"Sebastian!" His mother called out in a panicked tone of voice. Her jade green eye's wide in fear as they searched for her little boy.
"Sebastian!" She called out again as she trying to look over the crowd of people. Finally, her eye's locked onto the small figure standing lost and frightened. She did whatever she could to push herself through the crowd, once she approached him; she collapsed to her delicate knees.
"Sebastian!" Wrapping comforting arms around the boy who still stood completely motionless.
"Sebastian, Baby." She pulled away from her son but still kept to firm hands on each of his arms.
"Are…" She paused looking up in his petrified sea orbs. "Are you okay?"
He softly nodded his head but did not fully look at his mother.
"Baby, a-are you listening to me?" One of her hands removed themselves from his arm as her index finger tilted her son's head one side to another, up and down. The little boy nodded again.
"I'm s-sorry." Sebastian stammered. "Mommy." His bottom lip began to tremble and his eye's began to fill with salty tears, his mother embraced him into another hug.
"What for?" she choked out a laugh with a warm smile. However, once her son's grip had become overpowering and painful her smile quickly faded. She panicked as she tried to release herself from his grip but nothing worked.
"This." He stated in a much lower and bitter tone before he exploded into the bronze wolf and instantly murdering his mother.
My eye's snapped open as I heard my startled breathing, I was still in the same cave I fell asleep in but there was something up, a different smell. The smell of the forest after rain… Scanning the entrance of the mouth of the cave, there was nothing except the ebony night and the glowing moon.
Turning around, I've found the source of the smell, golden eyes are glaring at me as a low growl runs through him as he bares his pearly white teeth to me. I leap to my feet since he is now approaching me.
This wolf is smaller than me by a couple of inches, his fur in a midnight, glossy black which is slightly curly, he has bright hazel eye's and over all he is lighter than myself, but still, I back away from him.
"Who are you?" I hear a snarling, unpleasant voice asking me in my head.
"I, Errr, Well, You See-," I'm about to answer when his muzzle is at my neck, burying it in my fur. He takes it out and then snorts.
"You're not that stray, you've got a more burning smell to you…" This wolf states however, he is ridiculously close now.
"I do?" He snaps at me. "I'm not a stray! I don't know what that is! I ran away from that house in the middle of the woods! The house in the middle of nowhere! My family locked me up in this shitty room and treated me like I'm a pet!" I explain but all I hear myself say is a blur of jumbled up words.
"Yes, you are a stray then! What are you doing in this forest?"
"I'm not a stray!" I growl at him. "I'm just alone." He snarls for a moment, before stopping, then not show his teeth anymore and he is out from a pouncing position.
"Name." He states, I cock my head slightly. "NAME!" he demands pacing towards me.
"Sebastian Symthe! My grandfather, he had the gene, so did my mother but she cant
transform!" I tell him, he stares harshly in my eyes. "You?"
"Blaine Anderson." He answers as he walks away, sniffing the ground. "Yes, I can smell your trail from that house…"
"Seriously?" His head snaps towards me before squinting in a way that asking me if I am seriously that dumb.
"Yes. Seriously…Where are you staying now?"
"No where, I can't go back there, their going to put me down if I go back." His eyes widen slightly at the thought of another human putting his kind down then only does he sigh.
"Follow me, I know a short cut." He states with a comforting smile. I stagger to his side and follow his lead.
The nights harsh now as Blaine weaves in and out of trees with me not fair behind him, he knows these woods better than he knows himself I guess. Blaine's not that fast, which gives me an advantage so I can keep up with him. I can see the outline of his bushy tail, now and again; I'd see him turn around to see if I am actually following.
"Were is he taking me?" I think to myself, quickly taking in my surroundings and realise I don't know where I am, what time it is or how thirsty I am. "I wonder if he can still can still hear me?"
"Yes, I can, now keep up!" He answers rather stubbornly, I huff in frustration. "We're not that far…"
Ten minutes later, he has guided me to a field, on the outskirts of the forest. It's soggy grass squelches underneath my paws when we finally come to a stop. For a second, I look up, still seeing the crescent moon in the sky glowing a pale yellow over us. The sound of a near by howl draws my attention back to Blaine. He finally stops howling this lonesome howl and turns to me.
"Now, we wait." He sits down, golden eyes still inspecting me with curiosity
"Wait?" I approach him but he does not move a muscle. "For What?"
"Who, actually." He states as I sit by him. In reply to Blaine, there's a chorus howl from some distance deep in the forest.
The conversation goes nowhere quickly until he stands up, circling me like I'm his prey.
"How old are you, Sebastian?"
"Eighteen, you?" Blaine shoots a glance at me.
"Eighteen."
"What school do you go?"
"School? I don't go." He stops circling me.
"How long have they treated you like this?"
"Ever since my mother left and that was when I was five, then dad married instantly, so, thirteen years, maybe?"
"Thirteen Years?" He barks stunned, I nod in a reply.
All of a sudden, I see another wolf springing to Blaine in happiness, I see his fur is also a midnight black but he has a dark grey underbelly, the moonlight reflects in his chocolate brown eyes. His scent is dark cherries, which makes me smile a little.
"Blaine! Blaine!" He calls to him, but I don't understand how I can hear him too. Blaine turns around to show a goofy smile to his friend.
"Nick, hey!" Blaine stands in front of me; it doesn't matter, I guess Nick's already caught my scent since his eyes have escaped Blaine's face and peer around him to lock onto me. His happy mood quickly disappears.
"Whose that?" He questions, snarling a little at my view, I smile slightly.
"He's-," Blaine is about to introduce me when another wolf wanders to him.
I catch his scent before I see him, it's more honey which, when he comes into view sort of matches his sandy blonde fur, like Nick, he too has dark brown eyes.
"Nick! Jeff!" Blaine calls out, I don't even have time to great the new wolf I guess is Jeff before an overpowering smell of Cinnamon hit's me. Literally.
All I see is a flash of bistre brown and white sharp fangs snapping at me as me and the new wolf's weight is sending us toppling in the dirty field. I also smell lavender near by.
"SANTANA!" I hear Blaine's voice hiss.
"STRAY!" I hear her harsh voice yell in my head, now I'm pinned in her grip as I see her teeth getting ever closer to my neck, I growl fiercely.
"HE'S NOT A STRAY, SANTANA!" Suddenly, all I see is Blaine's dark underbelly as he is snarls harshly at the female wolf. "He's with me." I can hear her claws release themselves from the dirt as she gets off me and so does Blaine. I quickly get to my feet to see another wolf; her smell is the lavender smell. Her light blonde fur is covering her eyes but what I can see of them, there a carolina blue. She smiles warmly at me before her eye's shift over to the one called Santana.
"Come on Brittany." Santana sighs.
"He's the guy Lord Tubbington told me about." She calmly says as she wanders over to Santana wear they sit quietly together.
"What's his name Blaine?" A sweet voice asks Blaine, she smells just like a fresh layer of snow on the ground. She jesters her head towards me, I notice she has hazel eye's like Blaine's but a little darker than his distinctive golden orbs. She too has sandy blonde hair.
"I'm waiting for everyone to arrive before I tell everyone who he is and why he is with us." Blaine states. Her hazel eyes scan me.
"I'm Quinn." She tells me coolly.
"Hi." Quinn smiles welcomingly before lying down onto the soaked grass away from anybody else.
Another scent hits my nose, this one's cherry blossom, then followed by a red berry smell, both are divine, well, all of them are so far but nothing can beat Blaine's 'fresh forest' smell. Unlike the others, they are in a deep conversation about some sort of musical,
"Wait?" One of the voices stops the conversation as glasz eye's lock onto my structure.
"Someone else is here…" The second voice adds. When they come into my view, I see one has russet brown, neatly groomed fur, he's taller wolf out of the two of them by far, he is the wolf with the glasz eyes. The smaller wolf has more of a hipster brown and a female structure; she stands firm as her dark chocolate eye's lock with my own.
"Stray!" She calls out before sprinting to me, the taller wolf sighs before following her but less alert.
"Rachel, I doubt he's a stray if all of them are sitting by him not ripping him limb by limb!" The boy yells to her as he catches up with her swiftly. The boy's scent is the cherry blossom whilst Rachel's is the red berry smell.
"Kurt's right Rachel, he's no danger to you or the other members of this pack." Blaine sits by me now, as I can feel his heat radiating off him, it's like I'm sitting by a radiator. She places herself on the right hand side of Quinn and Kurt sits on her left.
"Kurt!" Barks Blaine, Kurt's head shoots up faster than a bolt of lightening.
"Have you seen Puck?" Kurt shakes his head.
After a while of waiting, the smell of red velvet is in the air and I'm guessing that's Puck's scent. A lone wolf gladly makes it way from the forest and jogs to Blaine.
"Stray alert." He says almost sarcastically in the corner of my eye, Blaine swipes a paw at Puck. He is taller than Blaine but looks cheeky and outgoing than Blaine. His fur is a dark grey and sort of a sliver in the moon light, he has hazel eyes too but they've got more green in than Blaine's do. "Last one again, you know what that means, don't you?" "No way! I'm not doing all them dishes!"
"Tough, next time, be on time, now, take a seat." Blaine smirks as he watches Puck lye down by Kurt who nudges closer to Quinn.
"Guys, you all know by now that there is another wolf with us." Blaine begins as he eyes me again.
"This is Sebastian Symthe. He's eighteen and lives in the creeps house."
"You live there!" Yells the one called Rachel in astonishment.
"Used too." I tell her with a confident smile.
"I went passed there and they tried to shoot me!" Whimpers Nick, the one with black and grey fur.
"That's what they do." I pause. "Their cold blooded to any creature besides humans."
"Are you related to one?" Snaps Santana with a snarl.
"Yes, but I don't have a choice do I?" Everyone looks at me for an explanation.
"My mother left me when I was five in my father's hands, who remarried instantly and they've locked me up in the house for thirteen years until today, when my stepmother was walking me, I bolted it."
"Walking You?" Kurt questions. "Like a human walks a dog?"
"Yes and if I don't get your help, they will find me, and they'll have me put down." The pack goes silent in disgust they all look at each other in disbelief
"Put…Down?" The one called Brittany stammers before she leaps up, skipping towards me.
"Lord Tubbington told me that one of us is in danger by the humans." She looks over all of us almost innocently. "This is the guy, guys." She smiles confidently as she waves a paw to me.
"Fine, I'll help you, just because Brittany is." Santana stands up and strolls to me where she sits down by Brittany.
"I'm going to help you anyway, you seem to nice to be put down." Quinn follows and sits by Blaine who gives a thankful smile.
"Second that." Rachel jogs to her side.
"Well, I may not know you but I'm not letting you die, I'm in." Kurt smiles as he joins us.
"Yeh!" Both Nick and Jeff exclaim boldly.
"Put down? There crazy!" Puck declares before getting up.
"So it's settled then, Sebastian joins us!" Blaine cheers before starting of a chorus of howls which approve on the decision made by Blaine.
"Show me that I can trust you." Blaine says. "Show the pack that they can trust you."
"How?"
"You're joking, right?" Kurt snorts with a smirk but it's quickly faded when I shake my head.
"Did your mother teach you anything before she left?"
"No." I answer Blaine's question, frowning in embarrassment.
"Well, that's what we're here for, we'll teach you the ways now," Blaine beams kindly. "Nick!" Nick jumps to his feet as the wolf with the grey underbelly looks eagerly at Blaine.
"Demonstrate to Sebastian your loyalty to him and the pack." Nick doesn't argue, he leans forward, his head bowed down, ears lowered and paws in front of his head, his tail is high in the air and he stays in the position for about a minute until Blaine dismisses him.
"Your turn." Blaine turns to me. All their eyes watch me expectantly as I walk forward and facing the pack.
Lowering myself to the ground, I close my eyes, thinking of how in seconds I will be accepted into a pack, a family. My claws dig into the muddy dirt; I lower my eye's and raise my tail. I still feel eyes on me but now, they're like comforting hugs than burning embraces. After some time, something suddenly clicks inside me; it's like I am accepted for who I am.
"Welcome to the pack Sebastian!" Calls Blaine before the pack starts to yap in approval.
"Thank-you." I smirk back after I stop yapping myself. "But is it okay if we get a drink and maybe something to eat?"
I hoped you enjoyed it, reviews will be appreciated, it'll tell me my mistakes, what you like about it and how I can improve. Story alerts and favourites will also be appreciated and hopefully, I'll see you in the next chapter ;)
