Not So Human Anymore

A normal day didn't consist of Holly's older cousin come drop by Cynthia and Holly's college dorm room. Nor did it consist of Cynthia putting literally no effort into her appearance when she took Holly and Jay to the airport where he was supposedly waiting. However, he was a full-blooded werewolf, so technically Cynthia supposed he could've just run to the college from the airport with his super speed and stamina. His cousins, Holly and Jay, were vampires, new and born as ones.

So Cynthia had grown up living beside a pair of vampires and learned the art of dodging or avoiding either of them when they were hungry. Besides that she had a good life, she was in college with an art and chemistry double major, had a healthy social life, acted how a normal nineteen-year-old girl would act, and usually managed to hide the fact that her best friends were supernaturals from her friend Asym's parents. However, Cynthia often times wished for some kind of action, she was bored out of her mind with school and life in general. Hence why she was sitting in a car with a rather chatty Holly and grumpy Jay. That boy wouldn't know excitement if slapped him in the face.

"... you'll like him, Cindy," Holly was saying when Cynthia actually tuned back into the conversation, "Leon's seriously your type."

Cynthia snorted, "an athlete? I'm sure. But don't get your hopes up, Holly. I know you'd love having your cousin live here and him having a relationship would probably bind him here, but he's also a player remember? And a werewolf? I do not date supernaturals. You two and Bree are hard enough to keep track of and control." Bree was their mage like friend, she was supernatural with how she could literally use magic to bend physics, and she loved it.

"You haven't even seen him, Cynthia," Holly pointed out with a bright smile, the studious girl's emerald green eyes were gleaming slightly. "I bet you'll change your mind once you meet him."

"How much?" Cynthia responded with a rather smug smirk as she parked the car and turned off the engine. She fixed her sapphire blue eyes on Holly, "I've got a twenty."

Holly grinned, "Sure, twenty dollars that you'll be attracted to Leon."

Cynthia shook her head, "nuh uh, twenty that I'll actually like him outside of his appearance you nerd." she lightly teased.

Holly rolled her eyes, "fine." She dug a twenty dollar bill out of her slim and small icy green purse and held it out to Cynthia.

Cynthia pulled out a neat bill out of her wallet before she twisted to look at Jay in the backseat, "what about you Jay?"

The grouchy loner pulled his earbuds out of his pale skinned ears and looked over at her, icy blue eyes piercing and as grouchy as usual. His black hair partially covered his left eye. "What about me?" He asked gruffly as he ran one hand through his black hair to pull it up and away from his eyes, making the top spiky and reveal both of his sharp icy blue eyes.

Cynthia rolled her eyes even as Holly faced her brother as well, "that I'll like Leon outside of his appearance."

Jay rolled his eyes, "you? Cynthia, you'll fall on your face." He put one of his headphones back in, "Leon has the enhanced werewolf appearance and a goofy jock of a personality. I'd be surprised if you didn't do anything with him."

Cynthia blushed and harrumphed before she turned around, "ouch, I'm not liking my chances here."

"You're a human girl about to meet a male Alpha werewolf," Jay deadpanned as he opened his car door and put in his other earbud. "If you don't like him there's something wrong with you."

"Oh whatever," Cynthia responded breezily and placed the two twenties onto the dash. Before she then sneezed when Jay pushed a twenty bill of his own under her nose in a flash and left the car.

"Bless you," Holly laughed at Cynthia's contorted expression before she too got out of the car. "Come on Cynthia! I can hear that money calling me!"

"It's mine," Jay shot back at his sister, "you only said if she likes him. I said she'd actually do something with him."

"Ugh fine…" Holly rolled her eyes, "we'll share it." her voice changed playful as she ducked into the car where Cynthia was placing the money under a sheet of paper on the dashboard, "if Cynthia ever gets her butt out of the car!"

Cynthia rolled her eyes and opened her door and exited the small car, "I'm going, I'm going. If I didn't know better I would change my bet to bet that you two are purposely setting me up with Leon."

Holly grinned sheepishly while Jay mimicked someone throwing up.

"Oh grow up you old man," Cynthia rolled her eyes at Jay's actions and walked around the front of the car to them. "Romance is not gross. You're in a relationship with a magician for heaven's sake."

Jay's pale cheeks lit up with a pink blush and he grunted, "shut it human."

Cynthia smirked, "how about never?" She leaned against the side of her car with a smirk, "face it, you can't get rid of me without Holly killing you." At her words Holly laughed, her sharp and slightly longer canines glinting in the light.

Jay glowered at the human woman, "just wait… one day when Bree and Holly aren't around I will get rid of you."

"I don't think so-"

"Wow, are you guys lazy or what?" A new voice said from behind Cynthia, the voice was a tenor with the smooth hint of a player and the rough gravely underlay of a werewolf. "You made me walk all by myself over to your car."

Cynthia turned around with a start and could barely breathe. Oh my gosh... "Jay wins," she decided in a semi-weak tone. Good grief she had no idea what she had been getting herself into! She could tell the guy in front of her was around her age, with the build of a lean football player and the clean cut muscle of a werewolf.
"Hooray…"
The guy in front of Cynthia had soft looking golden blonde hair swept back with it being longer on the top and short on the sides into a fade at the base, amber eyes that were warm like a fire but also held a slightly untamed aspect from his werewolf nature, a height of easily six-two and tan skin like he had lived in the sun for years. He had was half slacker look going with a rather close fitting creamy colored t-shirt under an unbuttoned white collared shirt rolled up at the elbows, rugged blue jeans, and black high tops. However, the half cocky half smug smirk that was tugging at his lips was the only thing that actually annoyed her. Of which dropped half a second later and he just stared at her, and unreadable expression on his face.

"I'm Cynthia, Holly's human best friend," Cynthia said with a megawatt smile, her blue eyes sparkling.

"Leon?" Holly asked her cousin in confusion after he said nothing and continued to stare at the blue-eyed human. "Something wrong?"

"I…" Leon responded before he vigorously shook his head to clear it, "I never knew a werewolf could have a human mate until now."

"How about never?" Leon couldn't help but smirk at the voice, sure it was beautiful and it made his wolf wanna hunt down the source, but it was highly amusing as well. "Face it, you can't get rid of me without Holly killing you." So that was the girl Holly had told him about, Cynthia, he believed. A human artist in the middle of college and with a rather sarcastic tongue.

He then heard his cousin Jay's voice and followed it from where he had been wandering around looking for his cousins. "just wait… one day when Bree and Holly aren't around I will get rid of you." He could see the back of a woman leaning against the car in a hoodie and fleece pj pants like she had been woken up to get them there.

"I don't think so-"

"Wow, are you guys lazy or what?" Leon butted in abruptly as he finally made it to them, now smirking. "You made me walk all by myself over to your car." Then the woman turned around and Leon's mouth went dry.

Mark her! His wolf, Milo snarled insistently at the complete sight of the woman who Leon knew to be Cynthia. Ours!

Shut up! She's human! Leon snapped back dimly.

"Jay wins," Cynthia said weakly, not that Leon noticed.

Leon rarely stuck to one girl, finding humans annoying and unreliable, but this one could make him change his entire thought process. She was shorter than him, but not by much, roughly about five-ten, with sapphire blue eyes that sparkled with life and right now a fascination in him, long black hair pulled up in a semi-sloppy high ponytail, a light blue tank-top beneath a partially unzipped white hoodie, fleece PJ pants with paint splatters, and grey converse. Sure she was literally dressed in one of the laziest ways possible, but to him, she was beautiful beyond belief. Her skin was lightly tanned with light freckles scattered along it, her build was one of a runner despite her clear art orientation, her eyes were almond shaped, and her nose was cutely small. He could feel the werewolf mate bound the connection to her even though she probably had no clue why he was staring at her at all. She's human, he reminded himself and Milo, she's human, fragile and tame.

"Leon?" Holly asked Leon in confusion after he said nothing and continued to stare at the blue-eyed human. "Something wrong?"

"I…" Leon responded weakly before he vigorously shook his head to clear all thoughts of Cynthia being his mate out of his mind and to fix his focus. It was hard pulling his gaze away from the beautiful woman, even though he didn't want to be tied down and stuck with a relationship with no if ands or buts. "I never knew a werewolf could have a human mate until now." He admitted before clearing his throat, "um, Milo likes Cynthia." He didn't want to delve into the details with a human present.

He saw Cynthia's eyes widen and she spoke, "I'm your mate? But I'm human, and I've never seen a werewolf besides you before! I thought mates were only between werewolves!"

"Well um yeah, you are." She was more observant than Leon gave her credit for. "

Scene # 2

Cynthia cried out when Leon bit down on her neck near her collarbone, screaming in pain at the sensation of fire filling her veins.

"No, no, no," Leon immediately pulled away from her and carefully lowered Cynthia to the ground when her knees buckled, "Great Luna, I'm so sorry! I forgot!" He knelt down and put her head in his lap as she yelled and cried, tears welling in her blue eyes from the pain of the werewolf venom now coursing through her body. He fumbled with his phone for a second before he managed to call Holly and fidgeted. He didn't know the curse for werewolf venom, either they turned or they died, but his sister probably knew one. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," his whispered as he gently ran his fingers through her black hair, "I forgot you were human…" Then his sister picked up, "Alphas above!" He cursed in werewolf slang, "Holly I accidentally bit Cynthia!"

"WHAT!" Holly's voice made Leon cringe as it made his sensitive ears sting painfully, "where are you?"

"At your dorm," Leon responded in a ramble, "I was dropping her off when my wolf seized control and bit her like he wanted to mark her till he remembered she was human and the venom's deadly-"

"Leon focus," Holly snapped, "is she foaming at the mouth or are her lips turning blue?"

Leon narrowed his eyes and peered down at Cynthia. "Foam!" He responded as he noticed the white foam bubbling at Cynthia's mouth now through the pain-filled groans she was making.

"Thank goodness," Holly sighed, "she's turning, it's gonna take a week for the full change but she's turning, she's not dying."
