authors note: I'll try to post about every weekend. Also thanks for following the story you don't know how much it means to me. I'll warn you sometime in the future there may be a warrior cats fanfiction set in the future. Also don't worry I don't think delianda hates Aaron as much as it seems and I actually don't have planned what will happen between her or either of the boys. Except her being angry as heck that Aaron is going the wrong way in pursuing her. Eric may or may do something in future chapters that pisses her off as well I don't know these kind of just go BOOM! This is what happens. Also sorry it's late I'm kinda emotionally drained right now, but the characters were doing scenes in my head and I'm like FINE! God you are impatient little characters!
delianda pov.
chapter three: Why aren't you apart of the were pack
There stood the stupid male wolf from before. Aaron. I growled and got up.
"What do you want?" I angrily spat at him.
He narrowed his eyes and pointed at Eric, "Why are you with him!?"
"Because I dang well want to be!"
"He's not were!"
"I don't care!"
"You know you can't -"
I growled and got nose to nose with him, "Can't what?" I asked acid dripping in my voice.
"Be with him!"
"I haven't even been here a day! What's to say we are even thinking about being with each other?"
"I can see and smell it!"
"So! I'm not part of your pack!"
"You should be!"
"Why? Just because I'm were? "
"Yes!"
"Well that's not a good enough reason! I don't have to do anything YOU say."
His eyes grew a brighter orange and he growled louder before turning to Eric.
"Keep your mitts off her! She's mine."
I growled, "I'm not yours! I'm not anyones! You have no right to make such a claim to me!"
He grabbed my arm and started to tug me away. I balled a fist and punched him square in the nose. He gasped and stumbled back. I lost balance and fell onto my tush as he narrowed his eyes at me. Before turning and hurrying off blood streaming down his face. I huffed and rubbed the area he gripped. No guy is gonna say I'm his and get away with it unless I say so! And I so didn' t give him the say so! I huffed and got back up and dusted myself off my mood swimming in a pit of anger.
"Sorry..." Eric said.
"It's not your fault."
"It is he seems to taken a shine to you."
"Then he shouldn't act like a donkeys tush! Nor should he claim I'm his or anyones for the matter!"
"You don't want to be anyones?"
"I didn't say that. But I won't jump the gun either." I said giving him a sideways glance.
"So even if someone asked you out currently you'd say no."
"Yes."
"Yes you'd say no or yes as in you'd say yes."
"Yes to the no until said person bribes me with food and gets to know me." I said a slight smile returning to my face.
"Hmm. I'll keep that in mind."
"You better." I teased before looking at my phone and frowning I said, "We better put out that fire and head to bed."
He sighed,"Okay."
I smiled and helped put the fire out and clean up. We both got up and went towards the camp once we were done. I looked over at him and watched as he bit his bottom lip.
"I really am sorry about the Aaron thing..." he blurted.
"Hey it's okay. The males are territorial." I said rolling my eyes, "Though he has no reason to be!"
"He thinks he has to be in competition against me for everything.." Eric said with a sigh.
"Huh?"
"Ever since we were small he's always wanted to be better then me at something. I have a girlfriend he wanted her or one who was better to try to rub it in my face. Sports? He always got jealous!"
I blinked, "Oh!"
"So he must think he has to get you so I don't."
I raised an eyebrow, "Well I'm not a prize that the two of you can argue over."
Some unknown emotion glittered in his eyes and for some reason I felt oddly cold. I looked around and saw the older man again and turned red. I turned away.
"I need to get to the cabin I, uh, haven't finished unpacking yet. I need to get it done before bed."
"Okay... Well have a good night then I'll see you in the morning."
A cold chill hit hard and something stirred in my gut making me feel ill, "See you! Night!" I turned and ran towards the cabin.
I ran up the steps and through the door. Hurrying I got to the bathroom and dry heaved. Dread coursed through my body and unease filled the air.
"Someone else will die."
I looked at him and squeaked, "Who?"
"He doesn't have long..."
"He?"
The coldness started to fade as did the ghost leaving more questions than answers. Like normal from what mom said... Why did the ghost being around make me feel so sick? Who's he? Who's the ghost? Also why the heck did he come when I was with Eric?! Also what was that look? What was the odd cold feeling it didn't feel like the ghost cold. I sighed and got up. I went over to the sink and splashed water on my face. I told myself it's only the first day things will calm down. The boys will settle whatever little war I sense between them. Well I hope. Or they'll tear each other apart. I don't know which and I don't think tonight is the night to try to think about it. I'm tired and I need more time to get to know them.
"Well I better get ready for bed."
So I grabbed my toothbrush and brushed my teeth before heading to my room my mind swirling with unanswered questions and ideas. I grabbed my nightgown and wiggled out of my clothing and pulled it on. I kicked off my shoes and socks and climbed into bed with cuddles my little stuffed wolf. I hugged him and snuggled into bed where I fell into a restless sleep. Only to bed woke up by someone viciously poking my arm in the early hours of the morning. I opened my eyes and peeked at the clock. In bright red letters it said one am. I growled and looked at the person. I narrowed my eyes at the girl with blood red hair.
"Oh don't give me that look flea bag."
"I think I can give you any look I want at ONE IN THE MORNING. What's so important that you wanted to wake me up at this forsaken hour?"
She looked down," I, uh, wanted to apologize for being such a bitch earlier..."
I grinned, "Hey I'm the bitch you're the blood sucker."
She laughed a little bit, "Anyway... I was going to get something from town... I wanted to see if you wanted to go with me... So we can, uh, make amends?"
I stretched and groaned, "Sure."
"Really?"
"I said sure nothing better than a good run into town that is against rules to wake you up."
I got up and padded over to my closet. I grabbed my bad wolf tank top, my jacket, and my shoes before going over to the dresser. I quickly grabbed shorts, socks, undergarments and my trusty hair tie. Quickly I got dressed and put my hair in a side pony tail.
"So what are you getting?"
"White hot chocolate with whipped cream."
"MMM sounds delish I may have to try one."
"You should!"
I got up and pocketed my wallet, "I may."
We headed towards the door her bun bouncing and pieces falling out. I watched it for a bit and smiled.
"You have pretty hair."
"Oh.. Thanks."
"You sound like you don't get many compliments."
She shrugged,"Well considering how I am to most people they don't compliment me."
"That's sad. Especially with hair as beautiful as yours. Well and your eyes are a pretty shade of green."
She blinked and I could faintly see a red tinge on her ears. She stopped and looked over her shoulder.
"Are you straight?"
I blinked and laughed, "Yes but I'm told I have bisexual tendencies." I shrugged, "But I intend on one day settling down with a guy and having kids. Just not anytime soon so why not have a bit of fun exploring new avenues."
She relaxed, "Ah. One of my old friends was like that
"Ah. But that's not why you asked."
"Well I wanted to know if I had to worry about you trying to hit on me."
"Nah. I flirt a tiny bit, but don't worry I won't hit on you."
"Good."
"Though I think it'd be a compliment if I did."
She laughed,"Maybe."
We started running into the forest and jumped over the fence. I laughed as we headed towards a area farther up that would go to the road. We ran as fast as we could the wind whipping hair in my face as we dodged branches and jumped over bushes.
"This is fun! Like when I was little!" I exclaimed.
I could remember the feeling of when Fredericka and Della would go running with me every morning to the park and they'd let my play on the equipment until it was time for Fredericka to take me to the pack. Warm fuzzies filled my heart remembering those mornings and I let out a sigh.
"When is parents day?"
"I think this sunday so the counselors can met them."
"Oh joy."
We got to the road and hurried down until we got to town. She stopped in front of a little cafe and we went in. I looked at the walls that had coffee cups painted on the wall with steam coming from there tops. My eyes landed on a beautiful sign that had the menu on it. My breath caught.
"This place is amazing!" Viola said happily.
"It is..." There was a warm atmosphere to it. Something welcoming and I like it! From the back came an aging woman her graying hair in a bun and wrinkles around her striking blue eyes. I focused and realised she was human, but that can't be right. Those eyes...
"This is Andramida she's a family friend." said Viola.
"Hi Andramida."I said politely.
"Hello little wolf."
I blinked, "You're human how can you tell?"
She shrugged and smirked a bit, "My secret."
Oh joy a secret my favorite thing in the world. Not. Like seriously most secrets cause more problems staying secrets! I narrowed my eyes and checked again as the pattern shifted a bit and I grinned.
"You're a chameleon!"
"Wha- How do you even know about them?!"
I just smirked and shrugged,"I just do."
She narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to say something before Viola cut in, "We'd like two white hot chocolates."
"Uh sure." Andramida turned and started making them.
Viola turned and raised her eyebrow in a silent question and I just smiled. They don't need to know about my mom. Well yet. I just rocked back and forth on my heels waiting for the drink while Viola gave me that questioning look. A smile stayed on my face as a part of me snickered at surprising someone like that. I stopped however when I heard the door behind me open and I turned around. My eyes widened and I gasped. Oh crap!
"Delianda? Sweetie is that you?!"
"Uh... Hi mom..."
"What are you doing away from camp!?"
"Hot chocolate?"
"You snuck out didn't you?."
"Um."
"DELIANDA! I taught you better then that!"
I turned pale and looked down at the ground.
"Hey... Um I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's actually my fault." Viola piped in.
Mom turned and looked at her.
"Delianda and I got off to a bad start... So I wanted to treat her to hot chocolate... So we could maybe become friends..."
"Ah." Mom blinked, "She still however didn't have to come."
"But I wanted to... I thought maybe this would be nice away from others."
She sighed.
"Anyway why are you here mom?"
"I missed my baby..."
I smiled and ran over to give her a hug, "It's only been a day mom." I said hugging her.
"I know, but it's to quiet without you."
I sniffled and hugged her tighter, "You'd get to see me sunday..."
"I know, but it seems like it's to far away. I wanted to check up on you..."
I laughed, "I'm okay and you know the camp is super strict about visitors."
"So I could sneak in."
"No you couldn't."
"Why do you say that."
"Werewolf for a counselor."
"I was able to get by Burnett. I can get by the werewolf."
"If I remember correctly you wouldn't be able to."
She narrowed her eyes, "Why? What aren't you telling me?."
Viola handed me the hot chocolate and I took a drink so I didn't have to answer. She paid and we headed to the door.
"Bye mom!"
"Wait WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING ME?!"
I hurried outside and towards the road. She'll find out soon enough. I don't need to be taken out of camp the second day because of Lucas. Especially when there's a cute shapeshifter waiting for me back at camp!
I took another sip and made a mmmm sound, "Dang this is delicious!"
"I know!"
I stopped and looked at my feet, "I'm sorry with how I acted when we first met..."
"I started it you don't have to be sorry. I should be the one saying it..."
"I didn't have to act like that back though."
"We all make mistakes. Sometimes you just need a calming touch to calm you down and make you see the wrong."
"Melony talked to you?"
"Lectured me. Was crying the whole while as well..."
"Not a pleasant sight."
"Not at all."
I wrinkled my nose and we started walking while sipping on our drinks. I sighed and looked at the sky. The wind started to blow and a chill crept up my spine. I frowned and looked around an uneasy feeling settling in my gut.
"I think we should get back now. I feel something watching us."
Viola looked around and nodded. I bit my bottom lip as we hurried away and a faint growl was heard a few seconds after about where we were at. I gulped and peeked behind us and saw a giant wolf staring after us. My eyes widened and I motioned for Viola to speed up. That wolf was way to big to be a were! Plus it's not near a full moon yet. So was it a shape shifter? What was a shape shifter doing all the way out here? Before I could answer that question I ran into something. I stumbled back and fell on my butt. I looked up and saw angry orange eyes and I smiled nervously. I looked at the eyes owner and a frown was on his face along with worry.
"WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU TWO THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Yelled Lucas.
I opened my mouth before shutting it again and looked at my toes. I heard him sigh and saw his face appear in my vision.
"You two worried me... If anything happened your parents would kill me and if they didn't knowing something happened would."
"Sorry..." Viola and I said at the same time.
"Next time you want to do something like this get me first." He said getting up and offering me a hand.
I grabbed it and let him help me up.
"Now we should be going. I don't think we're out here alone and I don't like that anything may have a chance to hurt you."
"I can defend myself!" Viola and I exclaimed at the same time.
Lucas just shook his head, "I know you think you can, but I don't want to risk it. Now come on."
I was about to say something when he gave me a look. I don't know how to explain in, but I saw pain in his eyes. Sadness... One that begged for me to listen and that he cared. I sighed and motioned for him to hurry up and go. A look of relief crossed his face as he took off and we ran beside him. The feeling of being watched and danger decreased as we got closer to camp, but something was still bothering me. I don't know what it was, but it was something important. Something painfully obvious. But what? What is my brain trying to tell me?!
"Did you see that wolf Delianda?" Viola asked.
"Yes. It was huge!"
"Wolf?"
"Um before we ran into you I had the feeling of being watched. I looked back when we ran off and there was this giant wolf! It was growling at us, but I don't think it was a normal wolf is was to big." I said.
Lucas frowned, "You two aren't to leave this camp without me."
"That's not fair!"
"Life's not fair! But I'd rather you be alive and safe!"
Viola put her hand on my shoulder and I turned towards her. She shook her head saying it was useless to fight.
"He has a point..."
"But-"
"No buts! You two are staying in camp!"
I sighed "Fine.."
He relaxed a bit,"Good. Now head to the dining hall I'm sure you two are hungry."
I nodded and the two of us went to the dining hall as Lucas went to the office. I finished what was left of my white hot chocolate and tossed it in the garbage can. I yawned and shook my head.
"That was freaky."
"No kidding."
We opened the door to the dining hall and we got tackled by a little fae. I blinked and laughed.
"Where were you two?! I woke up and you were gone!"
"We went to get something to drink."
"Ah."
I heard footsteps and looked around. Eric was running over smiling and I waved. He stopped beside us.
"Hey I didn't see you." He said.
"I was with Viola."
"Oh."
"Come on lets eat!" I said grabbing his hand and hurried to the window.
He was smiling as I got my food. I could feel eyes narrowed at my back. I blinked and shrugged it off. We headed towards the table we sat at yesterday. We sat down and he picked up his drink. I picked up some toast and bit into it.
"You look so cute nibbling on that toast."
I blushed and looked down at the plate, "Aw thanks." I said with a smile.
He grinned, "Welcome."
A low growl came behind us and I felt someone come up behind me. I stiffened up not liking the fact someone was behind me at this range.
