-1Rising Night

(Author's note: Dahlila Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate it. To answer your questions. Shhh you will have to wait to find out anything about Bucky. Marissa is being passive when it comes to Tiffany to protect the Pack. As for Vivian and Gabe I have to do the math. Vivian would be 21 and Gabe would be 29 I think. In the book I think that the triplets were ten or so at the time. I remember they were very fidgety during the pack meeting and Gabe whispered something to them)

The rest of the day wasn't the best for Marissa, one of those days you just want to get over and forget. Hugging her books she would have waited for her sisters, but they were both talking too much. The autumn leaves fell like rain and sprinkled the paved street. The place was a such a small town that she never really thought much about it. Giggling voices could be heard , but she didn't have to look to find out who it was, their scent made her want to wretch. It was Tiffany and her friends again coming quickly her way.

"Hey Marissa I saw your sisters today, they are major freak sluts." Vanessa said being one of Tiffany's mean little friends. A brown hair and thin girl that wore lettered pants on the butt and lots of gold jewary. Instead of rise up to their goading and fight she walked a little faster and frowned deeply. Being told that her sisters were sluts made her furious, but she couldn't respond. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Marissa and her two friends smiling widely to her.

"Didn't you hear me freak girl?" Vanessa said and Marissa held her breath for a moment.

"Please don't talk about my sisters that way" she said trying to keep calm, but the anger was rising within her and she could hear the animal within her growling. The girls laughed at Marissa as if she was stupid.

"You have been such a freak show since the first day. I have seen your family and your family's friends. Your brother is some muscle man who can't hold a job. Its like the Manson family I bet" Tiffany said and Marissa curled her fist and her lip curled a little. It seemed as if it was like a whistle had been sound, because very familiar scents hit her nose and almost made her smile. Thought the Four had grown up greatly in age they were still kids at heart. Marissa thought that one good thing about being in the pack was protection of sorts.. Ulf, Fin, Gregory, and William walked behind her and took positions around her. Tiffany and her friends seem to stare at the adult men with a raised brow.

"Hey Rissa is something going on?" Fin said and crossed his arms over his broad chest.

"

"We were on our way to buy rock tickets for the concert tomorrow and saw that you were standing here" Gregory said placing his hands on his hips that almost reminded her of a grungy Superman. Tiffany and her friends seemed to realize that they cannot pick on her right now and started to back off. As they turned to leave Marissa noticed they were whispering something and looking back at her. William wrapped a friendly arm around her like a little sister and smiled.

"C'mon Rissa we heard about your fight with Gabriel and we applaud your final rebellion of that turd. We aren't saying that he's a bad leader or anything" Ulf said shifting a little on each foot a bit. Laughing a little bit she tilted her head to the side. "I think I would rather go home. You know that I am not allowed to hang out with you guys too much, because Gabe says that you're a bad influence" she said smirking and turned and started to walk away from them. It always made her feel good taking shot of the Four.

Unlocking the door she saw the pack in the dining room sitting at the dining room table or leaning against the counters. Gabe flashed her a 'your in trouble young lady' expression then looked back at the others in the pack.

"Is everyone here?" his baritone voice, his eyes blazing with fire. A chorus of replies came and she saw her sisters flirting with the Four causing her to role her eyes. Gabriel started to go on about the plan of where they were going to meet for the full moon run. Of course it would be some place away from humans and free for the pack to roam. The full moons were always times of great excitement being the day where they had to change. Marissa loved being a what she is and the thought of moving into the night with the wind through her pelt enticed her. The shrill sound of the phone ringing caught her attention and she turned swiftly and walked quickly down the road. Grabbing the phone she picked it up.

"Hey" she said and smiled hearing the voice of her friend Blake. If the pack knew that she was talking to a meat boy they would think it might be a repeat of what happened to Vivian, but it wasn't like that. Blake and Marissa were just friends and nothing more.

"Hey Blake I can't talk now, but I will see you tomorrow" she said rather quickly.

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" he asked and Marissa smiled.

"Okay okay, but I have to go" she said and hung up not meaning to be mean, but on this night she couldn't take chances.

(To be continued. It will get very interesting. Keep reading and reviewing I am leading up to things)
