In love with the Beast - 3
(In Alison's mansion)
Spencer yells. - "Where is she?!"
Aria and Hanna shrugs, they've no clue where the blonde could be...
Hanna. - "Maybe she's in the forest, you know she prefers to stay out when she's looking like a wolf..."
Spencer sighs. - "I told her to stay in the mansion. It's not safe out there for her, with all the hunters looking for a wolf to kill..."
Aria gulps worried. - "You don't think that she..."
Spencer sighs deeply. - "I hope not..." (She looks outside through a window and mumbles) "Wherever you're, I really hope you're okay, Ali..."
While the girls are wondering where their young alpha is, the young wolf was struggling with something she has never seen before... a lovely family...
(In the Fields House)
Every morning was the same in the Fields house: waking up for a family jogging, making breakfast together, eating together... everything was the same, except that now, they had a guest, a furry guest...
Wayne pats Alison's head. - "Hey buddy! How are you feeling?!" (He looks at the dog food beside them and says) "You haven't eaten..."
Alison frowns and thinks - "Of course I'll not eat that shit! I'm not a fucking dog!"
Emily looks at her Dad and says. - "I told you she wasn't going to eat that, Dad... she's not a dog..."
Alison nods and smiles to the brunette while she thinks. - "Damn right! Thank you for noticing it, so, please stop calling me buddy too!"
Wayne looks around and when he sees that her wife is not around, he slowly takes something from the table and gives to the wolf a piece of bacon when he says) "Here, just don't tell my wife, okay...?
Pam enters in the room and says. - "Don't tell me what...?"
Alison smiles and she devours the bacon in a second, the wolf licks its whiskers, and, there's no evidence of what she ate, but, Pam has a good idea of what her husband did...
Pam raises an eyebrow. - "Really Wayne? Giving her bacon for breakfast...?"
Wayne shrugs. - "I've no idea of what you're talking about..."
Pam chuckles and says while she approaches them. - "You shouldn't give her bacon..." (She puts a nice steak of beef in front of the hungry wolf and says while she caresses Alison's head). - "She needs more than a piece of bacon to heal..."
Alison smiles when she eats the piece of meat, and, her smile gets bigger with the soft tender touch of Pam, no one, not even her mother Jessica has treated with such tenderness. With these parents, no wonder why the young brunette is a sunshine...
Noel approaches and says. - "I want to caress it too!"
Emily smiles. - "Me too!"
And, just like that, the entire family is caressing the white wolf...
Alison smiles and thinks. - "This is nice..."
Noel asks. - "Can we keep it, Dad...?"
Emily sits on the floor, beside the wolf and pleads with deer's eyes. - "Yes! Pleeeaaasse?"
Wayne and Pam look at each other, they always wanted a pet, but, a wolf...?
Wayne looks at the wolf and says. - "Well, she protected Emmy..."
Pam sighs. - "But, wolves are not supposed to be a pet..." (She shakes her head and says) "We shouldn't keep it here..."
Emily looks down with a sad pout and her brother sees it, so he says...
Noel. - "At least, let the wolf stay till Dad comes back from his trip..." (He throws an elbow to his Dad and says) "I'm sure that we will feel safest with the wolf around, right?"
Wayne nods. - "What? Oh... Yeah... yes..." (He sees how the wolf looks at Emily and smiles) "I'm sure that this buddy will project our Emmy from any harm..."
And, he wasn't wrong, for some reason Alison can't understand, she's sure she will risk her life for this brunette, any time...
Emily. - "Please, mom, let the wolf stay with us..."
The entire family pleads Pam to get with the idea of keeping the wolf with them. And, yes, a wolf is dangerous, it's savage, it's...
Pam takes a deep breath and nods. - "Fine, the wolf can stay..."
It's staying with the Fields...
Emily puts her arms up and smiles. - "Yes!" (She hugs the wolf and says) "You're staying!"
The entire family is happy with the news, and, Alison is happy too...
Pam. - "Well, now, everyone needs to clean up, breakfast is ready..."
The Fields sit together to eat breakfast at the kitchen table, while the wolf lay down on the kitchen floor, on a warm bed made with blankets, Pam put it for her, and, Alison feels a warm feeling for the old woman already, wishing that her mother could have been like Pam. Alison looks at them, she looks at them praying, eating, smiling, talking... everything feels so unreal, Alison has never seen such lovely scene, and, a part of her heart feels sad because she never lived that with her own parents...
Emily looks at the wolf and says. - "Don't look sad buddy, you'll have my full attention after breakfast..."
The brunette really meant it, and, for a reason Alison can't understand, it makes her happy to know that she will spend the entire day with the brunette...
(Later in Emily's room)
Alison was still weak, so, Emily carried her in her arms to her room. The white wolf smiled when she looked around the room, there were some boxes from the moving, but, it was a very warm room...
Emily has put the wolf in her bed, the wolf was waving its head up and down, looking at everything and the brunette notices it...
Emily asks. - "You like it...? My room...?"
The wolf nods and Emily gasps surprised by the nodding...
Emily. - "OMG! You understand me!"
Alison thinks. - "Of course I understand you, dummy..."
Emily. - "Uhm... let's try it again... let me see..." (She thinks and says) "You... you don't like when I call you 'buddy' isn't it?"
The wolf rolls its eyes, groans frustrated and puts its paws above its head, covering its eyes...
Alison thinks. - "Of course I don't like it! I'm not a fucking dog!"
Emily chuckles. - "Right, okay, you don't like it..." (She puts her hand over her chin and says) "But, then, how I'm supposed to call you...?"
Alison looks around, in one of the boxes that Emily hasn't unpacked, she sees a scrabble game, so, the wolf jumps out of bed, and, takes out the game...
Emily. - "Hey! What are you doing?!"
The brunette sees how the wolf tears appart the box, and, she was going to scold it for such thing, but, when Emily sees that the wolf uses its nose to formulate a word, the brunette stays in silence, just observing till...
Emily reads at the 3 letters the wolf put together. - "ALI..." (She looks at the wolf in the eyes and says) "Your name is ALI...?"
The wolf nods
Emily smiles. - "It's a beautiful name... Ali..."
They smile at each other when their eyes meet. There's something in this brunette, something warm, something that Alison can't put into words, and, for a brief moment, a panic fear invades Alison's heart because she has never felt like this before...
Emily says while she looks at the wolf stepping back, looking down with fear in its eyes. - "Hey, hey, Ali, look at me... please..." (The wolf looks at her and Emily says with a warm smile) "I'll never hurt you, so, don't be scared, okay...?"
The brunette opens her arms, and, Alison's heart beats fast, fear is still present, but, stronger than fear, there's the eager desire of feeling something... something warm... something nice... something that seems to be...
Emily chuckles when the wolf rushes towards her arms, the brunette hugs the wolf and says. - "I like you, Ali... I wonder if beasts like you can feel that kind of emotions, feelings like love..."
'Love'... it's this 'love'...? No, it can't be, she's still a wolf, if it would be love, the curse would be broken, she would be human and normal, so, no, it can't be love; that's what Alison says to herself, and yet, she's far to imagine that love is there... slowly blossoming in their hearts... she just needs to accept it, and, call it by what it's... before it's too late...
(In Alison's mansion at night, no full moon)
Spencer yells. - "Where were you?! You scared the shit out of me?!"
Alison doesn't reply, she's just spacing out, looking through the window. Spencer frowns, Alison is not acting like she always does it, the blonde is so quiet, so in peace...
Spencer slowly approaches. "Ali.. are you okay? Are you...?" (She touches Alison's shoulder and notices the bandages on her shoulder and says with concern) "Hurt! You're hurt!"
Alison rolls her eyes and says while she walks away from her cousin. - "I'm fine..., it's healing fast..."
Spencer. - "How did you get hurt...?"
Alison doesn't reply, she just smiles thinking of Emily...
Spencer raises an eyebrow. - "Ali...?"
Alison didn't want to share Emily with anyone, not even with Spencer, she wanted to keep her for herself, but...
Emily slowly opens the door of the mansion and says. - "Ali...?" (She looks around, looking for the wolf) "Ali, are you here...?"
Spencer frowns. - "Who's that...?"
Alison. - "Shit!"
The blonde grabs Spencer's arm, she sneaks her upstairs, into her room. Spencer can't see anything, and, she has no idea of what is coming out, so, she asks...
Spencer. - "Ali, where did you bring me...? What is coming on...? Wh...?"
Alison cuts her off. - "Shhh! We're in my room and I need you to stay quiet!"
Spencer. - "What?!"
Alison has never left them put a foot in her room since the incident on her birthday, so, Spencer is more than shocked, but, before she could say something, Alison covers Spencer's mouth with her hands and forces her to hide when someone else gets inside the room...
Alison whispers into Spencer's ear. - "Stay quiet..."
Spencer has no idea of what is coming on, but, she will get a hint of it, very soon...
Emily slowly enters. - "Ali...?"
The brunette woke up in the middle of the night, she was thirsty and when she looked for a glass of water in the kitchen, she got worried when she didn't find the wolf. So, what did she do? She dressed up and went outside, looking for the furry beast...
Emily mumbles. - "It's not here... maybe I should look in the forest for her..."
Alison's eyes get bigger of concern, Emily can't walk around in the forest at night! It's dangerous! The other wolves are still there and she can't handle the idea of seeing Emily in danger again, so, despite all her efforts to don't be seen, Alison DiLaurentis steps out... in public eyes... letting someone to see her, after all these years of hidden, she finally shows in front of someone...
Alison. - "You shouldn't be here at night, it's not safe..."
Emily jumps when she hears the voice behind her. She thought she was alone, but, she wasn't alone. The brunette spins around, the blonde is still far away, hidding in the shadows of the dark room, so, the brunette asks...
Emily. - "Who's there...? Who are you...?"
Alison replies. - "I'm the master of this mansion, what are you doing here? You shouldn't trespass here..."
Emily. - "I've come for my wolf. I have no intention on trespassing, I'm just looking for my Ali..."
'My Ali', a smile wants to form on Alison's lips, but, the blonde shakes her head, she rices the ice walls of her heart and groans with frustration for what the brunette makes her feel...
Alison snaps. - "She's not yours! She's..."
Emily. - "She's my friend..."
Alison stays mute...
Emily. - "The wolf is my friend and I really care about it..." (She steps forwards towards Alison and says) "Please, the wolf is injured because of me, I need to be sure it's okay, I..."
Alison cuts her off. - "I'm okay..." (She shakes her head and says) "I mean, she... the wolf is okay..."
Emily. - "How do you know...?"
Alison. - "I just know... you'll have to trust on my word..."
The brunette doesn't know what to think, but, there's no any trace of a lie in Alison's voice, so, it must be true... but...
Emily. - "I'll trust in your word, if you come to the light and let me see your face..."
Alison groans frustrated, she doesn't like to give in, but, with Emily, she's always giving in...
Emily gasps surprised, her eyes growing wider when Alison drags her whole body into the beam of light...
Alison. - "Now, do you believe in my word?"
The brunette doesn't reply, she's transfixed by the beauty of the blonde, by those blue eyes... blue like the ocean, blue like...
Emily mumbles. - "You're the girl of the portrait... you..."
Alison says with a serious voice. - "This is my place and you're not welcome, so leave..."
Emily raises an eyebrow. - "You live here...? In this abandoned house...?"
Alison groans. - "It's not a house! It's a mansion! MY mansion..."
Emily. - "Fine, 'mansion'... you don't need to get angry about it..." (She crosses her arms) "You've a terrible temper, just like the wolf... I wonder if she got it from you..."
Alison rolls her eyes, and then, they hear the howl of the wolves. The brunette hugs herself, recalling her last encounter with the wolves of the forest, it brings the chills out of her...
Alison mumbles. - "You're scared..."
The brunette was very scared, and, for the second time since they met, Alison wants to protect her...
Alison. - "I'll walk you home..."
Emily. - "Huh...?"
The blonde puts on a red coat, she puts a pair of gloves to cover her claws and she whispers to her cousin...
Alison. - "I've to go, don't ask me anything..."
Spencer whispers. - "Who's she...?"
Alison sighs. - "What part of not asking me anything, you didn't get?!"
Spencer whispers. - "Who's she...?"
Alison whispers. - "No one..."
Spencer teases. - "Really? You're walking 'no one' at its home...?"
Alison rolls her eyes and mumbles. - "I... she... I don't want to talk about it..."
Spencer senses something in Alison's voice; a mix of fear, and...
Spencer mumbles with a smile. - "You like her..." (She gasps in shock when she realizes something) "OMG! You like girls!"
Alison mutters. - "WHAT?! No! Of course, no!"
Spencer starts thinking and mumbles. - "Well, if you like girls, that explain why you are so reluctant to be set up with a boy, and, if you're really into girls, that gives us more options... there are lots of girls in Rosewood..."
Alison rolls her eyes, she can't deal with this now...
Emily. - "Hey! With who you're talking...?!"
Alison steps into the light and says. - "With no one... now, let's go..."
Emiliy wants to make more questions, but, Alison drags her out the mansion so fast, that she can't say another word...
(In the Fields House)
They came back very fast because Alison knows the forest like the back of her hand. All the time, Alison held Emily's hand and neither of them say a word about it, too much blush on their cheeks to make a sentence...
Alison lets go Emily's hand and says. - "We're here... now, get in..."
Emily frowns. - "How do you know where I live...?"
Alison panics for a second and she says the 1st thing that comes to her mind. - "I... I... the wolf told me..."
Emily. - "The wolf told you?!"
It was stupid to say it, Alison knows it, but, she can't find herself saying the truth...
Alison turns around and says while she walks into the forest. - "Anyway, it's late, you should go in, your family will be worried if you're not in your bed, safe and sound..."
The brunette nods, the blonde is right, she doesn't want to cause any worry to her parents, and, she should get inside before anyone could notice her absence, but...
Emily. - "Wait!"
Alison stops walking, she doesn't turn back...
Emily. - "Are you coming back to that mansion...?"
Alison nods and mumbles sadly. - "It's my home..."
The brunette gulps hard, she can't imagine someone as beautiful as Alison, living in that place... alone... so, she says without thinking...
Emily. - "Stay..."
Alison turns around and says with big eyes. - "What?!"
The blonde is blushing by the proposition, and, Emily is blushing even more for what she just said, but, there's no way to turn back now...
Emily looks down at her feet and mumbles with a blush on her cheeks. - "I... well... you can stay for tonight if you want..."
The blonde ponders the situation, there's no reason to stay, there's no reason to risk being seen by others, there's no reason to say...
Alison. - "Okay..."
Emily smiles. - "Really...?"
Alison mutters while she passes beside the brunette. - "Just for tonight, and, I'm keeping my gloves on..."
The brunette nods and smiles, she can't understand why it makes her so happy to let a complete stranger spend the night at her house, but, somehow, it does, the whole idea of spending the night with the blonde at her side, it brings a lot of joy to her heart...
They sneak in Emily's room without being caught, and, Alison gets into the warm covers and sleeps like a baby while Emily stays awake, looking at her...
Emily mumbles. - "I wonder what is your name..."
Eventually, Emily closes her eyes and falls asleep. The sun appears through the window, and, when, Emily opens her eyes again, she's in bed, but, not with the blonde at her side...
Emily smiles when she sees her furry friend. - "You're back!"
The wolf nods and licks Emily's cheek. The brunette chuckles, she loves to have the wolf back with her, but...
Emily looks around and mumbles. - "I wonder when she left...?" (She looks at the wolf and says) "I wonder if I'll see her again..."
Alison wonders the same, but, for now, she will not worry about that because...
Pam says very loudly. - "It's time for breakfast..."
Emily pats the wolf head and says. - "Let's go, Ali..."
Because there's a family waiting for them, yes, for the 1st time in her life, Alison really feels she's part of a family, and, because of that, one part of herself, it wishes to stay as a wolf for moments like this...
After having breakfast with the family, Pam stood in the house, changing the bandage of Alison's wounds while Wayne was out with Noel, doing groceries, and, Emily was taking a shower...
Pam smiles. - "Your wounds are almost healed..." (She caresses the wolf and says when she looks into the blue eyes of the wolf) "You've kindness in your soul, I can tell..."
Alison smiles, it's the best compliment she has heard...
Pam shakes Alison's furry head and says. - "You know, I can see why Emmy loves you so much..."
Love? She loves me...? Pam's words spin around Alison's head, the wolf shakes its head...
Alison's thoughts. - "No, it can't be, it's not love, it's not..."
Emily walks in with a big smile on her lips. . - "Hey..."
The cold heart of the blonde melts with that smile...
Alison's thoughts. - "It can't be love... right?"
Their eyes meet, and, the wolf sees something in Emily's eyes, there's something there... but, it's love...? It's love what is sparkling between them...? Alison can't say, she has never experienced any kind of love in her life, she doesn't know what love really is because the only true way to experience a pure honest love, is to feel it in the same way a blind man feels the sun... and, Alison is not ready neither prepared to handle that kind of feeling... at least that's what she thinks...
(Some days later...)
Wayne hugs Noel and says. - "You're the man of the house till I'm back, okay...?"
Emily teases. - "I think we will be more protected by Ali than Noel..."
Noel whines. - "Hey! I can protect us!"
Everybody chuckle, Noel might act like a bad boy sometimes, but, deep down, he's soft like a teddy bear...
Wayne knees and pats Alison's head while he says to the wolf. - "Protect them for me, okay...?"
The wolf nods, she has never cared for anyone else beside her, she has never taken care of anyone else beside her, but, that has changed since she met the Fields...
Wayne says its goodbye to the family, he has to go back to fill his duties, and, Emily knows that, she knows that he's just doing its job, but...
Emily hugs Wayne and mumbles with tears in her eyes. - "Don't die out there..."
Wayne nods and hugs her tighter. - "Don't worry, I'll back before you know it..."
Pam takes her keys. - "Okay, I'll drive your Dad to the airport, but, before that, I'll drop you to the school..."
Noel. - "Or we could skip school today, I mean, Dad is leaving today, the school will understand..."
Wayne shakes his finger. - "Oh, no, you'll not use me like an excuse, it's the 1st day of school, you'll go and that's final..."
Noel sighs defeated, he really doesn't like school, but, he can't skip it. Everyone grabs their things, and, the entire family was getting out, Emily was ready to leave the house, but, before leaving, she kisses the head of the wolf and says...
Emily. - "I'll be back before you know it, wait for me and wish me good luck, okay...?"
Good luck...? She will need more than good luck in Rosewood school, that's what Alison thinks because with her absence, the person who took the lead of the school was no one else than the biggest jerk of Rosewood: Ben Coogan. Alison groans angrily, she can't believe that Ben rules the school now. Emily deserves something better than a school ruled by a moron like Ben, but, she can't do nothing about it, because she looks like a wolf right now.
Feeling useless, the wolf just walks in circles, looking at the clock. Time flies fast, but, that doesn't make Alison to feel any better, she's too anxious, she can't stay there waiting for Emily, but, what else she can do...? The wolf is thinking, and then, she realizes that there's something she can do...
Alison gets out the house through a dog exit that was installed in the door of the kitchen and thinks. - "I can look after her in the distance... just to make sure she's safe... it's not like I care if she's doing well, it's because I promised to Wayne... yes, it's because I promised, that's all..."
Using Wayne's request to protect the family as an excuse, Alison goes back to Rosewood school for the 1st time in a long, very long time...
(In Rosewood school)
Aria shakes her head. - "No, it can't be..."
Spencer. - "I'm telling you guys, I saw it! Ali likes this girl!"
Hanna. - "You are blind! How could you see that...?!"
Spencer. - "I'm metaphorically speaking when I said that I see it, Hann..."
Hanna frowns. - "Metaph-... what?!"
Spencer. - "Never mind, the point is that we finally have a real chance to break the curse with this girl..."
Hanna and Aria look at each other, they really can't believe that their Queen Bee, Alison, is into chicks...
Aria. - "Look Spence, we both know Ali since we were babies, we saw her mocking of the queer of the school and..."
Hanna. - "And, what about all the rumours of her dating with college boys...?"
Spencer. - "Like you say, 'rumours'... we have really never seen her texting or kissing anyone... Am I right...?"
Aria and Hanna nod. - "Well, you're right on that point, but..."
Spencer cuts them off. - "Look, Alison grew up in a home where the appearance was everything, so, I'm not shocked to find out that in an environment like that, she never dared to be herself and show her true sexual preferences..." (She mutters) "Knowing her parents, I'm sure that they would have dragged her into a straight conversion camp..."
The blind brunette gulps hard, she knows that Alison's parents were awful, and, she feels bad of not helping Alison in that situation...
Spencer. - "Anyway, her parents are gone and we need her to fall in love... so..." (She stands up and says) "I'm going to help her to realize that she's into this chick... who's with me...?"
The others two girls look at each other, they don't know what to say, they have doubts about this plan, but...
Aria stands up and says. - "I'm in..."
The brunettes turn their heads towards the blonde and they stare at her till...
Hanna rolls her eyes. - "Fine, I'm in too..."
Spencer smiles. - "Good, now, let's find this girl..."
And, while these 3 Musketeers start their search for Emily, the brunette was dealing with the most terrifying thing in this world: 1st day in a new school...
Emily sighs, feeling lost in the hallways, like any new kid, she gets lost. And, someone notices it...
Ben says with a cocky voice. - "Hey you beautiful, where are you off to?"
Emily raises an eyebrow and says with a serious voice. - "Don't call me beautiful..."
Ben chuckles and slowly approaches. - "So, how should I call you? Angel...? Or, my future girlfriend...?"
Emily frowns. - "What?!" (She huffs and turns around trying to walk away) "You're out of your mind..."
Ben puts his arm in front of Emily, putting her hand over the lockers of the hallway, stopping the brunette of leaving...
Emily. - "What are you doing...?"
Ben smirks. - "Well, I'm talking with you, but, you're ruining it... you might don't know it, since, you're new here, but, I rule this school, I'm the head athlete, the alpha and any girl would die to have a conversation with me..."
Emily. - "Well, I'm nothing like the rest of the girls, so..."
Ben looks at Emily, up and down, and says with a lust on his eyes. - "Yeah... I can see that..."
Emily doesn't like how he looks at her, she doesn't feel comfortable, and, someone jumps in, feeling the need to protect her...
Noel pushes Ben away and says. - "Get your hands off my sis!"
Noel puts Emily behind him, Ben groans angrily, the empty hallway now is filled with curious teens, no one has dared to stand up against Ben, and, Ben doesn't want to look weak in front of the entire school, but, looking at Noel, he's afraid that if they get in a fight, Noel will kick his ass, and, being kicked in front of the entire school is even worse than this, so...
Ben puts his hands up and says while he steps back. - "Look, sorry man, I was just trying to be friendly..."
Noel doesn't believe him, but, he has no intention of starting a fight on their 1st day of school, so, he lets it go...
Noel holds Emily by the shoulder and says. - "C'mon, Emily, I'll walk you to your next assignment..."
Ben waves his hand and says. - "I'll see you later then..." (Lusty smirk) "Emily..."
Emily doesn't bother to reply or looking at Ben, she just feels disgusted by how her name sounds from Ben's lips, so, the brunette just grips on Noel's jacket while they walk to Emily's next class...
(In the pool)
The coach. - "Wow! That was impressive, Miss. Fields!"
Emily smiles
The coach. - "You would be a great asset for the swim team, would you consider on being part of it...?"
Emily smiles and nods. - "I would love it! I was part of a team too in my previous school!"
The coach. - "Great! What position did you have back there?"
Emily. - "I was the anchor..."
The coach. - "Great! We need an anchor like you!"
The brunette smiles, she's happy, but, someone from her class is not happy at all...
Paige steps in and says. - "But, coach! I want to be the anchor!"
The coach. - "You're too slow to be the anchor, I already told you that..."
Paige. - "But, I..."
The coach looks at its watch and says. - "Okay, time's up, everyone on the showers!"
The coach ignored Paige, and the girl just walks away very angrily. Emily tries to reach the girl, but, she gets just a cold shoulder. Emily decides not to make a big deal about it, but, Paige wasn't thinking the same...
Emily asks to the coach. - "Sir, this is my last class for today, can I stay a little longer in the pool...?"
The coach doesn't know what to say, he can't stay, but, Emily is a great swimmer, so she doesn't need supervision, so, there's no harm in that right? So, the teacher nods and let's Emily swimming in the pool... alone...
(On the hallways of the school)
Alison. - "Where is she...? Where...?" (She smells something) "Emily..." (she sniffs the air and smiles) "I can smell her... she's not far from here..."
The wolf runs in the empty hallway, following her nose...
(Back at the pool)
Emily swims like a beautiful mermaid, she reaches the wall of the pool, and, she was ready to get out the pool when a hand drags her down to the waters. The brunette gasps, someone is trying to drown her...
Emily gasps out of air. - "Help! Help!"
Paige says angrily. - "I'm the anchor, I'm..."
A wolf grunt angrily... Paige turns her head towards the source of such terrifying sound and gulps hard when she looks at the angry beast... Paige gulps hard, she hasn't felt this kind of fear since Alison ruled the school...
Alison's thoughts. - "I'm gonna kill you McCullers!"
The wolf grunt, rabid, showing its sharp fangs, and, Paige jumps back, scared of the beast... and, she should really be scared, because Alison has never felt so angry in her life...
Without the hand of Paige pushing her into the pool, Emily is able to breath again. The brunette takes off her goggles just in time to see Paige running away...
Paige screams scared. - "A beast! A beast!"
The wolf was ready to chase her down and make her bleed, but, Emily stops her...
Emily. - "No!"
Alison looks at the brunette and thinks. - "NO?! She tried to kill you! She..."
Emily stretches her hand and says. - "Come here, please..."
The wolf waves its head between the brunette and the door, and unexpectedly, she pushes her anger away and stay with the brunette... Using the wolf's head as a support, Emily gets out the water, she's shaking for what just happened, she didn't see it coming...
Emily sobs with tears in her eyes. - "I could have died... I could..."
The brunette is cut off by a furry head, the wolf that has saved, for the 2nd time, it's licking her tears, and, the feeling of Alison's tongue, it makes Emily smile...
Emily chuckles. - "Stop it! Stop it! It tickles!"
The wolf continues licking Emily's face, like a furry dog, and, Emily is able to shake away the horrible moment she just lived, thanks to Alison...
Emily hugs the wolf and mumbles with lots of affection. - "Stay with me forever..."
Forever... Alison has always hated the idea of staying as a beast for the rest of her life, but, for Emily... for her... for this brunette, she would be a beast till the end of times...
