-1Tears on the Moon
Marissa woke up and saw Gabriel standing at the edge of her bed his hand on her ankle shaking her vigorously. She squinted and looked at her older brother and frowned deeply.
"Why are you shaking me like a rack of lamb?' she asked and then bam it hit that he might know something. Sitting up she stared at her brother, but he didn't look angry.
"Hey I thought you might want to go see Bucky, the rest of the pack has, but I was letting you sleep after everything you have been through" he said and moved from the edge of the bed to the side.
"Are you feeling okay?' he asked being the brother all over again. Sleepily she nodded her head and turned so her feet were off to the side and got off the bed. She didn't remember getting dressed in her pajamas but she felt a bit numb last night. Gabriel drove her to the police station, but the cop said that only one can visit him at the moment, she guessed due to the whole pack visiting him well she was sleeping. After being checked by the police woman she was led to the cell. Bucky's was at the end so she quickly moved down the line. As he sat there he looked a bit scruffy with his hair messed up making him look like a puppy that had been tumbling under a couch, and his shirt was unbuttoned all the way showing his chest. He obviously wasn't expecting a guest , but he had picked up her scent before she got there. Getting up from the dingy cot and walked to the bars.
"I didn't think to bring anything for you,. Are you hungry? Or cold?" she asked and gave a weak smile. Bucky smiled as well and cocked his head to the side.
"Your smile is enough. I was worried about you as well. That man didn't hurt you did he, before I came in?' he asked in an urgent tone of voice. Melinda shook her head.
"My hero." she said as tears stung her eyes. "You shouldn't of done that for me. I know you're my brother's best friend and he was stupid to mess with one of us. I wish sometimes that I was like Vivian. Yeah I get annoyed sometimes, but she doesn't need to be saved" she said quickly letting out her thoughts. Bucky reached through the bars and wiped her tears away.
"Hey where did that pretty smile of yours go Rissa? " he asked and carefully pulled her close to him the bars slightly obstructing him comforting her. She slowly looked up at him and calmed down.
"I will smile for you" she said and felt like such a human getting over emotional and even laughed at herself. She was a Loup Garou not some teary eyed human. Suddenly the officer came over and looked at her.
"Visiting time is over…" the woman said and Marissa gave a fleeting look to Bucky and then went to step out. As Marissa left the cell the officer spoke up.
"I heard what happened to your brother and I think its wrong" she said thinking since Marissa was young and how worried she seemed that he was her brother.
"Hes…" she trailed off wondering suddenly how she felt for Bucky. He was too old for her but -well she wasn't sure, but it gave her something to think about.
