A/N: Hello again! Sorry this took so long to get out, but I do have a life...sort of...Anywho, here goes! I hope you like it! ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Mercy Thompson series or its characters. I am only borrowing them for a short while...because I find that I enjoy torturing Adam!
Title: Howling At The Moon
Summary: During the full moon, Adam is subject to her call...
Jesse gritted her teeth and turned on her side, violently shoving her pillow into her ear...
Damnit! It didn't work!
She loved her dad, truly, but she hated, hated, HATED the full moon. Muttering under her breath, she sat up and rummaged around in her nightstand for her ipod, abandoning all hope for sleep. It just wasn't going to happen, not with all that howling going on outside. She swore she heard car alarms going off three towns over because of her dad's howling.
"Ah-Ha!" she exclaimed in triumph, and stuck the earbuds in her ears and turned up the volume to drown out her dad. She sighed and relaxed. She knew she really wouldn't be able to sleep, but listening to music was better than listening to loud, meaningless(to her anyway) howls all night. Her only consolation that night was that he'd be sorry in the morning. She grinned just thinking about it.
The next morning as she groggily ate her breakfast, she watched her dad practically stumble into the kitchen. He'd of course, been out all night and hadn't slept. He opened the cabinet and pulled out the teapot and filled it with water before setting it on the stove.
Jesse smiled behind her glass of orange juice.
"So," she began casually. "Did you have fun last night?"
Adam opened his mouth to reply, but only a garbled, scratchy sound issued forth. he scowled and closed his mouth again and pointed to his throat, then held up the teabag in his hand. Lemon; perfect for soothing sore throats.
Jesse bit her lip to keep her giggles in. Sure, she didn't like seeing her dad in pain, but she felt that this was payback.
"Sore throat?" she asked.
He nodded and raised a brow, detecting the amusement in her voice. He crossed his arms over his chest and opened his mouth to retort, then closed it again and got an angry look on his face. Jesse couldn't take it anymore, she laughed.
"That's what you get for howling at the moon all night long."
A/N: What did you all think? I hope you liked it, and please forgive me for any mistakes I made concerning the actions of the characters. I'm not too familiar with them, so I'm sorry for any and all OOCness. And I'm also not sure if werewolves can get sore throats or not *shrugs* it was just a funny idea I had, so I ran with it. Also, check out my youtube video! It's for the anime Bleach. Just search: "Little Miss Rukia" my username is: Anastasia690.
