The scorching sun beat down on the world as the two wolves reached the cafe. Emily was sitting next to Brandon, and to his left sat Astarte, Phillipe, Sarah, and then Raven. There were three empty chairs at the table, so Selene sat down next to Raven. Donovan lingered behind for a moment before he sat down next to Selene.
"What up guys?" Emily said as she turned and slapped Selene on the back. "Where have you been Donovan? Ya look like you were wrestling wolves in your sleep."
Donovan shifted in his seat. "Oh nowhere... I just didn't sleep well..." he said quietly.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!" someone laughed crazily from behind Donovan. "You have nooo idea!"
Thud! Mikey jumped out of a tree. Emily and Sarah screamed like typical humans, and soon it turned into giggles. Astarte just rolled her eyes. What a show off.
Still laughing, Mikey took the last open seat at the table.
Brandon had been sitting quietly until now. "Did you guys hear that spooky howling last night?" he asked excitedly," It was all like AWWOOOOO!" brandon wiggled his finders in Emily's face. "It really scared my brother."
Everyone at the table nodded.
Selene simply said, "No comment."
Eventually everyone broke off into their own conversations, and Sarah, Mikey, Brandon, and Emily left to go play the original Nintendo Mario Brothers game. They were in a hot argument about who was best at the game.
Selene, Donovan, Astarte, Raven, and Phillipe were the only people left at the table. There were footsteps on the sidewalk. It was Raquel. She walked by in her skimpy white tank top, and way-too-short miniskirt, and to complete the outfit she was wearing super high heels, and she was holding the hand of a human boy, they didn't recognize, trailing behind her. As she walked by she winked at Phillipe. Astarte uttered a low growl that was barely audible.
She glared at Raquel. "What a slut!" she hissed savagely under her breath.
Raven shook his head. "Man I feel bad for that kid. He doesn't know what he's getting himself into."
Slowly a smile crept onto Selene's face. "Shall we intervene?"
"Ha ha, yes lets." She said in return
Silently they stood up, and walked quietly after Raquel, the two wolves unsheathed their claws.
Astarte leaped up into the trees, and bounded from one branch to another 'til she was ahead of Raquel; While Selene came up behind the boy and looped her arm around his waist.
Selene smiled at the shocked boy. "Hiya cutie!" she said over enthusiastically as she yanked him away from the stunned Raquel.
Just at that moment Astarte swooped out of the tree like a gymnast, and hit the pavement with a dense thud. Raquel glared at her, but she ignored it and smiled.
"Hi, Raquel, Where ya going'?" she asked innocently as she looked over her shoulder at Selene and the boy.
Raquel glared at her, and snapped. "What I do is MY business. It's not any of your concern."
Astarte snickered all too obviously, "I was just wondering what you were all dressed up so fancy." Astarte paused to look her over from head to toe. "What's the special occasion?"
Raquel growled, clearly getting annoyed with her.
"This is the part where you run away." Selene whispered in the boys ear, but he just stared blankly. "Go on. LEAVE." she prompted. He kept on staring. Fine be that way. She poked him roughly in the back with an unsheathed claw. That strange boy ran off so fast he could have been mistaken for a wolf. "Don't come back so soon!" she yelled after him.
"Bitch." Raquel said turning on Selene.
She just shrugged, "Take it to the Elders, Slut."
Raquel shot them both murderous looks and walked away, staggering slightly in her high heels.
Laughing the two wolves walked in the opposite direction. If you ever saw the scene you'd think they were normal, dangerously beautiful teenagers (If you could even call that normal). Astarte was intimidating. Her blonde hair flowed across her shoulders in soft curls, and she had a slight sense of command and authority. Sure she was kind of short, but her piercing amber eyes were fierce. Her black clothing had a striking contrast with her pale ivory skin. You definitely didn't want to mess with her.
