Luna, Luan and Lincoln sat in the living room of Mr. Grouse's house and watched as their elderly neighbor walked over to Lana, three animals in his hands. Setting the animals in front of Lana, Mr. Grouse looked up at her and sighed, "Okay kid, one animal is mildly injured, one animal is ill and the third is completely fine. I want you to point out the injured and the sick and try and tell me what exactly is wrong with them." Lana hummed and stared at the bird, frog and lizard in front of her and hummed to herself before looking them over carefully.
Carefully picking up the frog, she looked at its eyes and hummed before gently setting it down and picked up the lizard. After looking the lizard over carefully and setting it back down, she picked up the bird and examined it thoroughly. Setting the feathery creature down, she looked up at her elderly neighbor and took a deep breath, "Okay, I think I figured it out."
"You think, or you know?" Mr. Grouse hummed and arched a brow, "If you're so sure, why don't you tell us which one is ill and which one is injured?"
Lana sighed and nodded, "Okay, the frog is fine, outside of being unhappy, the lizard seems to be getting a mild cold and the bird has a bruised wing." Mr. Grouse hummed and Lana looked at him in confusion, "Was…was that right?"
"Yes, it was," Mr. Grouse rubbed his chin, "But I was informed yesterday that you have a number of pets…this may not mean anything," Lana frowned and Mr. Grouse sighed and shook his head, "Like I said, I've only witnessed one Beast Charmer in my life, so we won't know for sure. I can take you to the Council, if it's okay with the Alpha," the two looked at Lincoln and Lincoln narrowed his eyes as he crossed his arms, "Well Alpha, what do you say? Again, this may be beneficial,"
"Please Lincoln," Lana pleaded and her eyes widened, "If I am a Beast Charmer, I don't want to go crazy and hurt people,"
Lincoln sighed before looking at the old Vampire and narrowed his eyes, "I'm going with you two," Mr. Grouse looked at him in confusion and Lincoln took a deep breath, "I'm not letting someone in my pack go somewhere that no one knows nothing about for it to turn out to be a wild goose chase and…what would happen if she wasn't a Beast Charmer and the Council found out?"
"Nothing really. The monster community isn't as harsh as it once was. They'll simply wipe her memory and send her home," Lincoln looked at him and arched a brow, "Trust me, Loud, the community is a lot more lenient than it once was."
"Fine," Lincoln looked at his two mates and narrowed his eyes, "You two go back home, we'll be home shortly and-"
"Are you insane Linc? We're going with you and-"
"I don't want you two getting into any trouble, Luan. Don't forget, I haven't infected you two yet, and if the Council finds out you two are humans, they'll wipe your memories and…that's something we don't want," Luna and Luan frowned and slightly nodded, "Just go home and keep an eye on everyone."
"Okay," Luna sighed and hugged him, "Don't do anything that can get you in trouble, too," she looked at the messy twin and smiled as she rubbed the top of her head, "You stay out of trouble too, sis." Lana nodded before Luna and Luan walked out of the house and Lana, Lincoln and Mr. Grouse followed behind and walked towards Mr. Grouse's car.
The car pulled up in front of a City Hall and the two looked at Mr. Grouse in confusion as he killed the engine and began climbing out of the car, "Uh…Mr. Grouse? This is City Hall and-"
"Very observant, Loud," Mr. Grouse shook his head, "You should be a detective when you grow up," Lincoln growled and Mr. Grouse sighed, "The Council is inside. Come with me and stay close," the two nodded as they climbed out of the vehicle and the three walked towards City Hall.
The three silently walked down the corridor of City Hall before Mr. Grouse stopped in front of a solid oak and knocked three times at a quick pace and waited. A moment of silence passed before they heard a voice call to them, "Enter," Mr. Grouse opened the door and allowed the two to step into the room before following them.
Lana and Lincoln looked around in confusion while Mr. Grouse stepped past them and stood in front of them, "Henry, what is the meaning of this? Why have you brought an outsider with you?"
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council, this is Lincoln Loud," he gestured to the white-haired teen, "He's been a Werewolf for a few months now and this is his little sister Lana Loud," he then gestured to the blonde girl, "I believe she is a Beast Charmer, but I thought we'd bring her to the Council for further evaluation,"
They heard low whispering as Lana stepped closer to Lincoln, a slight look of fear crossing her face, "Calm down Lana," Lincoln quietly hissed, "Mr. Grouse already said that they won't do anything that will hurt you. If you're not a Beast Charmer then all they'll do is wipe your mind and we'll go home."
"But Lincoln, that sounds painful," Lana whimpered and tightly held Lincoln's hand, "I don't want them to do that to me,"
Lincoln sighed and slightly smiled, "I'll tell you what Lana, if you're not a Beast Charmer, you can hold my hand while they're wiping your memory and then I'll take you out to get some ice cream, just the two of us," Lana smiled and hugged Lincoln as the Council continued to whisper amongst themselves.
The members of the Council looked up and one of them spoke, "Step forward, youngling," Lana tightly clung onto Lincoln and stared at the Council member with wide eyes, "Don't be shy,"
"Go on, Lana," Lincoln whispered and Lana looked up at him and frowned, "Don't worry Lana, I'm right here," Lana whimpered and nodded before stepping away from him and stepped forward.
She looked up and a member spoke, "Please, young lady, tell us a bit about yourself and why Henry and your brother believes you to be a Beast Charmer…to help us get a better understanding here."
"Well…I have a ton of pets and I feel like I can connect with animals better than I can with people." The Council hummed and nodded, "I like being out in the wilderness…with my family, of course, my parents won't let any of us go anywhere dangerous like that."
The Council members looked at one another and slightly nodded, "Oh, and I like to take in injured animals and nurse them back to health."
"Okay, Lana, we're going to ask you a few more questions, all you have to do is answer them as truthfully as possible," Lana nodded as the sound of a pen scratching along the table surface was heard.
Lana looked back at Lincoln and Mr. Grouse and frowned as Lincoln smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry Lana, you'll do fine," Lana slightly smiled and slowly nodded before turning back around.
Okay, I have to end this chapter here, sorry, but I got volunteered for babysitting duty and I wanted to get a chapter out before something else could happen. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
