Hi guys! So your lovely reviews made me want to get the next chapter up! 2 reviews in 2 days, I'm on a roll:P anyway with the 1 year anniversary of Cory's death approaching at the weekend I understand it's gonna be difficult for our little fandom. I'm unsure if I'll get the next chapter up this week but if I don't then, I'm sending out a huge cyber-hug to you all!
Still don't own glee...
"You're a slut!"
"You're a tranny."
"Brittany none of these are working I'm afraid. Your face is too friendly to be saying those things to me."
Brittany rolled her eyes. She's been trying to make Rachel angry so they could work on her self control. Lesley has been watching from the patio doors.
The Pierce's garden was huge. It was long and wide and had hedges that could have easily been 10ft. There was a large greenhouse that Rachel had discovered belonged to Brittany's mother, since she was a stay at home mom, she needed to keep busy. The greenhouse had large tomato vines and beautiful potted plants. The garden also had a big chunk just full of flowers. It was beautiful and colourful.
"Why don't we take a break for a while huh? You girls must be parched. It's very warm out today." Lesley came out to the garden furniture with some chilled homemade lemonade and poured Brittany and Rachel each a large glass.
"So... Now is your time to ask questions Rachel. Fire away." Lesley said
Rachel was quiet for a moment as she drank her lemonade. She was incredibly grateful for such a cool drink.
"Why do we... werewolves I mean... Why do we exist?"
"That's a great question Rachie! It's an awesome story!" Rachel loved the way Brittany's eyes sparkled when she got excited.
"It started years, and years ago. There was a woman named Elizabeth, and since she was a child she new she was different. But her parents never believed her. The day of her first transformation she was scared, alone and no one believed her. Instead her parents admitted her to a psychiatric hospital. They thought she was mad. Anyway she lived her life in there and when she was 30 she met a man. He was a worker at the hospital and they fell in love and had a child. Elizabeth's child got taken away from her though, at her Fathers request. So one night when she was in her wolf form, she returned to her parents home and bit her father, unknowing what would happen. She was astounded to discover that her father started convulsing, shaking and next he was a werewolf too. Elizabeth vowed to create madness in revenge for taking her baby away, so continued to bite people. And that's how we started... Well that's the first record of werewolves. It may have started long before then."
"So you have to be bitten... Right?"
"Well no. Have you ever been bitten by a dog Rachel?"
"No, Brittany asked me earlier."
"Ok so it must be hereditary, it can pass through generations, that's how Brittany and Luke are werewolves. I didn't bite them. My dad was a werewolf, he was bitten."
"Ahh I understand, so if I bite someone, then they become a werewolf too, and then there children... I see."
"Yeah, it's not so complicated once you figure it out. I mean I understand it and I'm incredibly stupid..."
"You're not stupid Brittany. Not stupid at all." Rachel said, squeezing Brittany's hand.
Lesley smiled. She could see the spark between the two. She was glad Brittany brought this girl home.
"So how often do we change? Full moons?"
Brittany and Lesley both laughed, Rachel just looked on. Confused.
"We change whenever we like Rachie, not just full moons."
"Well, once you can control your wolf."
"Yeah you talk about control, then why did I transform today? Like in school? Talk about inconvenience... And my clothes. Aren't my clothes supposed to like rip off around me? When I changed back my clothes were there."
"You've been watching too much twilight. Twilight a transformation shows it to be explosive and dramatic, however a really transformation is graceful and magical, the magic likes to protect people, it protects your modesty too. That's why your clothes were still there."
"Where do they go?"
"There still there. They're just hidden. Your entire body is still there it's just that your wolf has taken over, as for your transformation today... That happened because the full moon is starting. And there's no reason for why it started today. It's just when your inner wolf is ready to come out, bitten wolves come out a lot quicker than born wolves."
"I transformed first when I was 14. Gosh that was painful, it was during summer vacation though so Mom helped me through it. That's why I tried to help you Rachie, because I know how painful it is." Brittany squeezed Rachel's hand affectionately.
"Thank you Brittany, it meant so much to me that you were there with me. I was really scared and I was in so much pain."
"I promise you it doesn't hurt anymore. Every time now it'll be easy and you won't feel anything." Brittany said, her eyes full of trust and affection.
"So how do I transform now? Like do I have to be angry or what?"
Brittany and Lesley both stood up, and then Brittany pulled Rachel up.
"No ok, just think about what you remember from your transformation today. Think about how your hands got bigger and your hair got longer."
Rachel remembered and before she new it, her hands were getting bigger and hairier, her own hair was getting longer and thicker and before she new it, she was a werewolf again. She remembered Brittany's beautiful grey wolf from earlier, but Lesley was a beautiful golden coloured wolf, with the beautiful green eyes.
"What colour am I?" Rachel realised that they weren't speaking, earlier she thought they were but it was just thoughts. You mind read other wolves and that's how you communicate.
"Rachie you're such a pretty wolf! You're chestnut brown and your eyes are so pretty. They're a lovely hazel colour. Brittany made her way over to Rachel and nuzzled her big nose into The side of Rachel's head.
"You were so right Brittany. It didn't hurt at all this time."
Lesley quietly transformed back to her normal self and went back inside to give the two teenagers some privacy.
"I know I was right! Do you know what the best part about being a wolf is?"
"What?"
Brittany then ran over and pounced on Rachel using two of her big paws to pin Rachel down.
"The best part is playing."
Rachel rolled over and chased Brittany. Crashing into her and they both rolled into the back of the garden. Rachel all of a sudden let out a large bark. Which was then followed by a large howl.
"Rach! You can't do that in the middle of the day!" Brittany tried to stop her but Rachel couldn't. She could hear my Mom laughing from the kitchen, she could also hear her Dad laughing.
When Rachel finally stopped she was really embarrassed. If she could've blushed she would be scarlet by now.
"Sorry. I couldn't help it."
"It's ok. My parents will blame it on Luke's ridiculously big sound system."
Rachel's senses were perked up when she smelled delicious food her nose followed along the grass until she found herself at the patio doors to enter the Pierce house.
"Oh I better change back."
Seconds later, Rachel was in her human form again. Brittany had also changed back and was jogging along behind her. Brittany grabbed her hand and led her back inside to the awaiting food.
"I hate this. I'm a vegan! Stupid werewolf." Rachel said whilst devouring some BBQ ribs. "Oh my god, these are so good!" Rachel squealed.
"I know my Mom is an awesome cook!" Brittany's stomach suddenly felt full of butterflies. Rachel was looking at her with such passion and even though she was covered in BBQ sauce, she looked completely carefree. Brittany loved that look on her. Rachel started to blush and Brittany realised she'd probably been staring a bit too long.
"Uhh Mom where's Luke?" Brittany said to try and distract her.
Lesley who hadn't missed the interaction between the two girls, answered immediately. Realising her daughter needed a distraction:
"He's staying at Jordan's house tonight, he'll be back tomorrow night, Jordan's Mom is taking them to the Water Park tomorrow."
"Is that the giant water park over in Akron?" Rachel asked nervously, she'd cleaned the sauce off her face and hands.
"Yeah! It's so cool! We should suggest it for the glee club trip this year!" Brittany said excitedly.
"Umm no... I... I couldn't go to a water park." Rachel said, dipping her head.
"Why not?" Brittany said.
"I uh... I can't swim. There was uh... And issue when I was a baby with water, I'm kind of terrified..." Rachel said, sinking even farther in her chair, her face going entirely red.
Brittany understood Rachel didn't want to describe what happened. "I could teach you to swim if you wanted? I'm a really good swimmer and I promise I wouldn't let anything happen to you."
"Umm, maybe."
"And anyway Rachel. The water park is basically just big slides where you get splashed in the face with water. It doesn't really require any swimming. I mean there are a few big slides that's throw you down into deep water but there are other things." Steve, who's been quiet most of the dinner spoke up. "But anyway, there are more pressing issues. Happy 1st transformation day Rachel!"
Rachel laughed. He was like an older, male version of Brittany. "Thank you Mr... I mean Steve. I'm still very confused but Lesley and Brittany have been helping me."
"Yeah it takes a lot of getting used to... Believe me. The first time Lesley transformed in front of me, I instantly knew not to mess with this girl or she could I dunno... Rip my head off or something." Steve said whilst gazing lovingly at his wife.
"Are you a werewolf?"
"No. I thought it was important to have at least one normal person in the family, couple weeks ago the neighbour asked me where I got such adorable dogs. That was awkward to explain..."
"Honey. Help me clear the table." Lesley said to her husband.
Brittany led Rachel out the garden and they sat down. They at close together and Brittany rested her head on Rachel's shoulder. At first, Rachel thought this was really weird but then remembered that Brittany was a very affectionate person, do she didn't mind.
"I mean what I said you know Rachie. I'll protect you, and I won't let anything happen to you. Be it swimming, werewolf stuff or anything. I'm done with people messing with you Rachel. If I have to get a slushie every day if my life then I won't care, I'll do whatever it takes to protect you, you can count on me. Okay?"
"Thanks Britts. You can count on me too, I've got your back." Brittany then wrapped her arms around Rachel and soon they both fell asleep. It had been an exhausting day.
Steve came out an hour later and snapped a picture of the two sleeping girls on his phone. He then went back inside to fetch a thick blanket to wrap around the two sleeping girls. It was very likely they'd be there for the rest of the night.
