Chapter 2 - Werewolf on Campus
Naomi awakened to the sounds of wolf whistling that she can tell right away belonged to the one and only James Cook. She sat up from her fetal position she'd been laying in to look up at the source of the sound, irritated and cranky, which was only amplified by the aches and pains throughout her body. She didn't know what was worst the change or post change, either way they were both unreasonable terrible.
" Looking fuckin' mint , Naomikins. Sure ya don't want a quick willy-waggle with your old pal Cookie " Cook greeted wiggling his eyebrows at me.
Before she could answer with her famous ' fuck off ' come back another voice cut in saving her the trouble.
" Shut up, Cookie" she pointed at Cook, than to me " Here " she says as she throws a duffle bag at me containing my clothes so we can get out off here and head home,she paused a moment then said " You do look fit, by the way, new haircut?" She cast her eyes down low and smirks at me.
"Fuck off, Ef " Looks like i got to use my come back after all. I stood up and got dress quicky with a practice ease.
Once I was dressed and ready to go, we took off toward the path that leads out of the woods in relatively silence, the night before having taken it's toll on the three of us.
After naomi's first change...
After heading home in a makeshift beat up tent she found somewhere in the woods while trying to leave, Naomi was faced with a lot of confusion, fear, anxiety and a very concerned and tired looking Gina Campbell. But as with everything leading up to this day, Naomi would rather figure out what was happening to her on her own. Because that's what Naomi Campbell was, A loner. She was independent and didn't need anyone to rely on. She prefer it that people ever did was disappointed you anyway. And that's why when her mother ask her 'what in the world happened last night?' Naomi was quick to reassure her.
" It was nothing mum, something I ate. " She lied
" Naomi, for fucksake, I think it was a little more than that" Gina pushed " I mean you were Fuckin-" Noami was quick to cut her off not wanting to be reminded of the events that acquired the night before.
" Mum, Look at me, I'm fine, see?" She looked down at herself and saw that she looked anything but, just now being reminded of her improv outfit and muddy appearance. ' fuck sake ' she thought, not getting her point across as she realized she just made her mother even more worry than before.
" Naomi, love, What in gods name are you wearing? where are your clothes" Gina calmly stated confused as ever and probably not wanting to push Naomi into a corner, knowing that Naomi does not do good with talking and will mostly like shut down if she has to. Protective mechanism, Gina assumes, ' stubborn little fucker' she always says.
Naomi had to think quick on her feet, wondering how to explain this when she spits out " I... ah...well, I camped out in the woods not far from here last night for...ya know... fresh air." she continues when her mother narrows her eyebrows in concentration and nods for her to go on. " and I... um woke up and felt like a swim... but stupid old me forgot where I put my clothes after I was done... went looking for them and got all dirty in the process" she forces a laugh and points down to herself. " as you can see, so i just gave up looking when I came across this thingy" she finishes making the universal hand gesture for 'ta-da' .
" Are you sure you're alright, Naomi? After last night I- she cut her off once again
" I'm fine, mum, really, I promise, alright?" Naomi reassured
Gina was reluctant, she shook her head defeated, sighed and said " Alright than love, if you say so."
" I do " Naomi says and half smiles relieved that it's over and she doesn't have to explain further " I'm gonna get clean up, see ya later i guess " standing up and moving up stair to jump in the shower where she could wash off what was left of last night.
The days following, Naomi was starting to see real changes to her body, and she can't say she mined it. Although it drove her crazy that she still couldn't figure out why all this was happening. She's been scared to go to bed most nights because she certainly didn't want a repeat of you know what.
But every night she was fine. It didn't seem to be a regular occurrence, but still it didn't make sense, ' what happened that night? and why does she have these newfound power ' she wasn't complaining about them, no, not at all. They made her feel powerful and useful and not like a waste of space. They gave her a bit of confidence to be honest and she might not know how she got them but she sort of glad she did.
She was at middle school leaning against her favorite tree during lunch time reading a spider man comic book ( The one she bought when she was convinced that she was living her own superhero story. Trying to figure out if she recalls being bit by a radioactive spider or if she happened to stumbled upon a weird glowing gooey liquid that could be reasonable for her new found abilities. But she gave up on that thought because that's not the sort of thing one forgets.) as she turns to the next page she finds something or rather someone is blocking her sun.
looking up with a scowl on her face to find a sandy hair boy looking down at her with a toothy little grin, waggling his eyebrows at her suggestively.
" Can I help you with something" she snaps harshly really not in the mood to socialize right at this very moment of ever really.
He throws his hands up in defense " Wow there, Blondie..relax yeah, just come around to say hi, is all" he say and sits down in front of her. " Hi" he adds with a little wave
" Well you've said it" she hinted but deep down not really wanting him to go. She gets a bit lonely from time to time and it's nice to have some company for a little bit a least.
" Oi, is that anyway to speak to family?" he mocks hurt and then back to grinning like a fool.
" Sorry, what the fuck are you on about?" she asks, confused and a little annoyed.
" Can't ya smell me, girl" he lifts his arm up for emphasis " I smelled you from miles" he laughs at himself.
" Excuse me" she says quite offended and confused as ever.
He narrows his eyes at her as if in deep thought as if a light bulb went on and he gave her his biggest smile yet.
" You have no fucking clue, do you?" he asked, shaking his head in disbelief, he look quite amused.
" What about?" I asked reluctantly, my curiously getting the better of me
With that he stood up quickly and throw his hand out to help me up with a " come with me, blondie " I stared at his hand for a good while contemplating whether or not it was a good idea . 'fuck it' she thought grabbing his hand and pulling herself up " this better be good" she mumbled to herself
" Oh it will be" he answered even though it was really to herself.
"I'm Cook, by the way" he introduces
"Naomi." she replies
That's when I met Effy. They explained that I was a werewolf and that I was born that way but it didn't really ever kick in until puberty. They told me that one of my parents had to be a wolf too otherwise I wouldn't be. Runs in the blood or some shit like that. They were surprised that I hadn't a clue , was sure one of my parents would have told. I explained that my dad must be the wolf and was to busy fucking off to tell me anything about this.
We became a pack that day and even though I will always consider myself to be a 'lone wolf' so to speak it still feels nice to feel like you belonged somewhere, and for once in my life, I did.
We arrive at the end of the path where Effy's car is waiting to take us home.
" See you lot a the Academy, yeah " Cook asks walking in the opposite direction always prefer to run home, says it helps after the change.
We were all attending The Academy tomorrow, it a school for kids like us, kids who are different. Kids from all over the world. We were chosen for our ability and we will be trained on how to use and control them. Which is important to Naomi seeing as though she is known to have a bit of a temper and it's very dangerous to get her riled up. Naomi was curious what other type of powers there were and looked forward to seeing them in action
" Yeah , course" I shout at his retreating form while Effy just nods.
Tomorrow is definitely going to be eventful, eventful indeed.
A/N - I know it's a bit of a slow start but good news is there's no more flashbacks and now the story will really begin. Starting with a little redhead we all know and love!
