Part One: The New Pack in Town
Her back stiffened as she was talking with Avery; something was up.
"Avery," Julie interrupted abruptly, "get to class, now. Walk though, power walk. Talk to no one."
Avery nodded, turned and left at a calm but quick pace. Julie put her bag into her locker, along with her back up weapons and shoes. With those locked away she morphed into her secondary form. Her peers didn't even bat eyes at this, merely moved aside to let her through.
In this form she still had her human opposable thumbs, best invention of Mother Nature ever, but also the olfactory abilities of a wolf. Besides, when the school put on its' annual rendition of Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs for the Children's Wing of the hospital, she was a shoe-in for the Big Bad wolf. But now she was searching the scents of her peers and this led her to a Perky Goth.
"Guess you found me," the girl chirped, letting her eyes go gold for a brief second, "My name's Mafuane. Call me Anne though, it's a lot easier."
"When did you get into the area?" Julie nearly demanded, having gone back to human.
"Week ago. What's the big? You haven't marked your territory…"
"Bellwood is Plumber territory," Julie growled.
"Whose?"
Julie was shocked; this girl was a Yendalooshi but didn't know about the Plumbers. She shook it off, "Look the humans are pretty cool with us here but they're off limits; if you break any law, even if you just jaywalk, it's my pack you'll face. This area is under our protection. No killing and eating humans, pets, strays, livestock, or endangered wildlife. Got it?"
"Sure," Mafuane blinked in shock.
Julie grinned, "Good. Hope you like it here, its' always exciting…" just then a loud fire alarm began going off.
"'Cuse me," Julie grinned and morphed into her third form, loping off.
Mafuane bemusedly followed the humans as they flooded out of the school, off campus, and turned around to watch four beings, which definitely weren't human, fight some giant squid faced thing as though it was an everyday occurrence.
"Who're they?" Mafuane asked.
"The Tennysons, Julie Yamamoto, and Kevin Levin," a student took pity on the new kid, "They're alien-werewolf-human people who fight off evil aliens. That alarm we just heard was telling us to get out of the school so they can fight without hurting anyone human or soft…"
"Which one's the wolf?" she asked, pointing at the black dire wolf.
"That's Julie, she's just a werewolf; the other three though have alien bloods…"
Mafuane caught sight of her pack. They looked like a motley crew themselves. Grimaldo, your stereotypical Neo Nazi, Gabriel, your stereotypical frat boy bully, and Alard, Grimaldo's right hand man and near clone. They all looked like they were thinking the same thing she was. This wasn't going to be as easy as they had assumed. Swiftly they retreated from the school, to their base of operations, and began plotting.
