Part 7-
She entered the diner; the cook and her human-friend took immediate notice of the lack of vision correctness on Sophia's face.
"Hey, Sophia get contacts?" the cook asked when she entered through the swinging doors to the kitchen and the backroom where the lockers were.
"No, just don't need the glasses anymore. If, you'll excuse me, I got to get ready for my shift." As she stride past him and on into to the backroom to change.
After she finished changing into her waitress uniform, she quickly tied her apron around her waist as she exited. Upon starting her shift, she noticed the rest of the younger (and some of the older members, too) of the pack filling up most of the diner. They are eagerly turned to notice her walking out. Her human friend walked up to her and quietly whispered into Sophia's ear.
"I don't know why they are here, but it's making me nervous. Like there's going to be some kind of trouble." The waitress did not know the packs' secret but she knew who they were and to stay clear of them, as much as possible. She had whispered it so she thought that only Sophia could hear her. But, the entire pack that was in the diner could hear every word she spoke, and Sophia heard it like it was being yelled at her through a bullhorn. The way Sophia turned and looked at her, instantly told her. That she diffintly made a mistake in telling Sophia. The newest member of the pack simply smiled at the poor human girl. Knowing that yes, indeed she was quitting after tonight. No two weeks notice. Just a simple "I quit, I am through with this place for good!"
For the human girls part, the smile was eerie enough to send shivers running down her spine, the hair on the back of her neck to stand up on end. To be instantly put on even higher guard. Her survival could depend on it. The pack just saw her as an ugneraling to that they would have much fun with.
It was a short shift, it her night to only work a 4 hour shift. Sophia was grateful for that, which meant she'd be able to go on a run with Luke and some of the younger members of the pack. The members of the pack that filled most of the diner were gracious enough to order from Sophia only and ordered plenty of food to hold them over for the night. They would leave $20 tips for Sophia, even though, she did not need it; it was their way of showing her the proper respect that she now held within the pack. She seemed more confident than she ever had before. If, her human waitress friend tried to handle any of the packs' tables; they'd simple say "No thank you. We'd prefer it if Sophia would handle our service for tonight."
Sophia's shift came and went. It was relatively easy and flew by. She went back into the locker room and changed into her everyday clothes. She went and emptied out her locker, leaving it opened with her waitress uniform hang over the door (without the name tag of course, the remainder of her time before she joined the pack), she took out all her tips. And just simply put them in her human friend's purse inside the girl's locker. Walked-out and found the cook/manager and her friend hanging out (as it was slow in the diner) and informed them that she was quitting for good. She walked out and took Luke's hand (he was there for her whole shift) and they walked out together. As they exited through the first door; Sophia heard her human friend say "Well, we now know why she quit. She finally took her place with them. Oh, well!" and cook asking the girl "You do know what they are? What she is? Right?" and she heard "Yeah, trouble!" and then the last faint rumblings were the cook saying "Yeah, of the worst kind. Stay away from her and the rest of them. They are the kind of trouble that if you get too close can get you killed. I am going to tell you something and if you're wise. You won't mention it to anyone. Besides most of the human adults around here know not to reveal too much. Let me tell you what kind of trouble they are......" was the last Sophia's sensitive wolf ears picked up as she got into Luke's car. She didn't know if Luke heard it or not, but apparently the ugneralings of Wolf Lake knew a hell of a lot more then they'd ever let on. Even to the half-breed. And now the human waitress was learning the hard truth about this town and the people who run it.
