Chapter 13: Average Red Night
After the Hunter Wolf caught a large rabbit for me. I took off for the clearing to meet with Edythe. Looking at my watch while running, it said it was already 20:50.
I was not running as fast as before, around 50mph. By the time I go within 4 minutes of the clearing, it was 21:48.
Stopping just outside the clearing. I covered my head with the enchanted hood of the robe I was wearing. The robe was light armor that absorbs kinetic energy and generates a glamour that makes my aura and appearance human.
I sniffed the air picking up Edythe's scent but it was from a while ago. Thinking of what to do I came up with a plan. Running through the forest and picking out a small doe I lunged at it take it down.
With my claws, I stripped back the fur and started eating. Knowing that I had eaten at least 60lb of deer meat I could use my power easier and had the strength to fend off a Vampire.
Back in the clearing, I followed the lingering scent of Edythe. It led me around for a bit before heading away. The scent was like she took off at a fast pace.
I came to a stop on the other side of the creek. The Cullen's house was just on the other side through some trees.
Bending down close to the creek I put my hand an inch from the water and concentrated. Clear clean water flowed up to my palm then it turns it a white cotton color and began to clump together.
Once the sphere was the size of a 100mm bocce ball I stopped. Looking to the house across the creek I took aim and throw the snowball. It sailed over the distance and splatted agents the upstairs window I was aiming for.
A few seconds later I was concealing myself next to the tree along the creek. I could hear the sound of running steps and then I saw her leap over the creek. Landing about 800ft from me.
"You're not the person I was looking for, Alice."
Alice spun in my direction and I saw her eyes scan where my voice came from.
"Where are you, way can not find you? Your so late." Alice said still looking around for me
"I know, I was looking for Edythe so I can explain. I tracked her scent here."
Alice zeroed in on where I was standing and head for me when I heard another set of footsteps.
Edythe came flying over the creek straight at the tree I was leaning on.
I could not help but stare at Edythe, she was wearing very short shorts and a thin light green shirt that show that she was not wearing a top.
Edythe ran straight for me, she was tracking the loud beating of my heart. I saw from my right eye that Alice was waving as she ran back to the house leaving us alone.
I was still gawking at Edythe when it hit me that she was going to plow into the tree and me. Using my speed I move from the left side of the tree to the right.
Edythe moves around the tree too. As she ran up behind me I sprint into the trees. "What, do not run away" Edythe called out.
"I'm not running away just follow me for a bit." we ran about a mile away from the Vampire den then I stopped turned and ran at Edythe.
She did not have time to say anything as I grasped her around the waist causing her to stop. I then pull her into my chest. "I'm sorry that I did not call and tell you I was going to be late."
Edythe lifted her hands and flips my hood over my head, exposing my Lycan face.
Smiling at me Edythe place her cold arms around my neck, leaned in, and was now kissing me.
Pulling back Edythe said "you taste like deer" I could not help but smile.
"If you do not like the taste of deer I could find something else. What would you like?"
Giving me a smile that shows her fangs Edythe said. "I could go for a nice warm sweet wolf." Then she grabs my robe and tried to rip it from my chest.
That of course would not work the robe's enchantment will not rip that essay. She would have to use her nails and pull very hard to tear it.
Looking confused, she pulled at the coth harder. "Edythe, what are you trying to do?"
"I trying to get you out of that cloak" I took ahold of her wrist stopping her tearing at my clothes. Looking at her dark golden eyes. "Edythe, let's go out hunting and we need to talk about this."
After hunting a few deer and a mountain lion we went to a clearing and look up at the stars.
Edythe and I were lying on the ground next to each other, her head was on my chest and I was running my hot right hand up and down her right arm.
30 minutes went by of us lay there in silence then I spoke up. "Edythe, we need to talk about this courting."
Edythe turned her head and rolls on top of me. "What is there to talk about."
"Well, there is something you need to know about courting a Lycan. Here is something you may need to know is that we need to eat in order to maintain our strength. It does not make us super weak but compared to supernatural beings with strength greater than non-supernaturals. Like this."
Taking the hand that was still on her arm I squeezed. I was able to compress her skin.
The shock on Edythe's face was priceless.
"I'm not even using my full strength at the moment. After eating my fill tonight I will be able to do this for the next three nights on the fourth I'll be to week. This also has the drawback of making it easier for you to injure me by mistake."
"Could you just eat every night so as not to weaken?" Edythe asked. "I do not think that would be good I am going to start hunting every third night. See I know that your family unusually eats at least every eighth night to satisfy your hunger but Vampires do not get weaker."
"Ok, is there anything else to courting a Lycan I should know?" Edythe said with a smile.
"Yes, there is, Lycans mark their courters with their claw or with a bite. The problem is that Vampire and Lycan venom are not compatible."
As I said this with Edythe on top of my chest I ran my four index claws done her back carefully slicing through her shirt from the collar to hem.
With my other hand, I grab the shirt and pull it apart exposing her bareback to the night. I retracted my claws and ran my hand up and down her back.
Edythe *gasped* as my hot hand left lines of heat on her cold back as I rubbed from her shoulder to her hips
"Not fare" she *moaned* as I felt her hand on my waist trying to find a way under my robe
"[Walker relinquish]"
The robe unwound itself from my body and became a 5'8" cloak.
Edythe untied the cloak from around my neck now it was under me as a thin blanket.
Push herself up off my now bare chest, Edythe pulls off the rest of her green shirt and tosses it away.
I felt her breast on my chest as she settled back down on top of me. We were pressed so close together and kissing that the heat from my body had wormed Edythe making her not feel cold anymore
Edythe stops kissing me and slides her head under my jaw, placing her lips on my neck. I shutter my heart rate increase. My claws slid out, and the desire to claim her took me. I was just about to run my claws across her back.
I rolled out from under Edythe and ended up across the clearing leaning against a tree. Breathing heavily I looked at my claws, there was no blood but they would not retract.
Putting my head against the tree and sinking both my clawed hands into the trunk. I closed my eyes and started calming my breathing and heart rate.
"Red, I'm sorry I did not mean to." The way Edythe said it sounds like she thought I was afraid of her biting my neck.
Keeping my eyes closed worried that if I saw her naked from the waist up I could not resist.
"You, do not have to be sorry. I was the one overwhelmed by you and almost lost control."
I could hear Edythe approaching me, then I felt her cold arms go around me and her head lay on my shoulder.
Her body had already gotten cold from the outside temperature but her breath was still warm from our kissing.
"I do not know why I feel so drawn to you, Red. I have looked into the mythology of Lycans and Werewolfs. The closest thing I could find had to do with Lykaonis and him being cured by the sky god Zeus. I have also heard rummers around here that shooting wolfs and horses for some reason brings down the wrath of the Wolf god."
I was now more in control of myself. Still facing the tree with my eyes closed I ask. "Did you want me to confirm something for you?"
"Yes, are you Lykaonis or one of his turned?"
"Nether, I told you that I was born a Lycan."
"Then you are his son or grandson. The article did not mention that he had a son but you could have erased it from history or it's in a book somewhere not on the internet…"
My chucking maid Edythe stop talking. "You are way off the mark Edythe. I'm not Lykaonis descendant I'm his brother."
I felt Edythe pull at my waist and I let her turn me so my back was now against the tree. Finally able to force my claw to retract I stared into her face trying not to stare at her naked chest.
"That does not make sense Lykaonis was cursed to be a Werewolf. If you were born a Lycan then how." The confusion on her face made her look absolutely beautiful.
"You should not believe everything you read on the supernatural world, we have been around way longer than the internet, and script writing. What really happened is that my brother Lykaonis, maid Zeus look foolish. Some of the stories can be true like how the higher-tier gods do not like to be made to look bad and they would do terrible things to mortals.
Zeus could not do anything that would anger the other gods. Instead, my brother was disguised in a human form and having dinner with some of his human friends. Zeus did something to force my brother into his true form in front of them."
"Ok, I get the stories getting turned around, it is like how humans believe that Vampires will die from a stake to the heart or burn up in the sun."
I could not help my chuckle at the burn-up in the sun part of her comparison.
"Do not forget about drinking holy water." Laughing, I lean in wrap my arms around her and place my muzzle into her collar.
She *gasps* as I put my mouth under her jaw and touch my Wolf tongue to her skin. Edythe squirms as I slide my hands down her legs to the opening of her shorts.
Still kissing her under the jaw, through my tongue I murmur. "[Tell me now if..]"
"No" she *moans* "more".
Using my strength I press my hot hands into her inner thighs. Like Friday night I could not go farther than this heavy make-out. I need to get used to having her back in the physical realm than the spiritual one.
If I made a mistake, I could lose her. The last time I found her on death's door, was during the second Cholera Pandemic in the human year 1817 AD. She was in her 15th winter when I found her way past saving with a transformation into a Lycanthrope.
"Red is something wrong?"
I pulled my hand from her spot to place them back on her waist. "Edythe we need to slow down before something bad happens." looking at her I caught a very brief expression of disappointment.
Giving me a half smile and in a sarcastic tone, "Ow, you do not have to worry, I can not get pregnant."
Edythe lifts her arms, wraps them around my neck stood straight up, and pulls my head so our lips touch.
After an hour of us making out and a few times Edythe or I would go too far. Most of the time I would brake our contact and escape to the other side of the clearing to calm down.
Edythe did go a little too far once that ended up with me consoling her about digging her nails into my arm and tearing a chunk of fur and hide off.
By the time Edythe had run away, stood behind a tree, and started apologizing. The flesh had already regenerated and my fur was regrowing
It was now 01:23 we were looking up at the stars. Edythe is laying on top of me her back on my chest and her head just under my jaw.
Edythe's hands on top of mine which were around her stomach. My eyes were closed and breathing evenly taking in Edythe's lovely scent.
"Red, are you awake?" keeping my eyes closed. "Yes."
"I was wondering how late you can stay?"
"I will have to go at 07:00 unless something comes up."
"What do you mean by something."
"you know that I'm the current Werewolf Guardian. That does not just mean I take care of disputes with wolf shifters. I also have others I take care of."
Edythe turned her head to look at me. It was quiet for a minute before hearing the *clomping* of hoves and the *nickering* of a horse
The sound got closer. Edythe tried to get off me but I would not let her go. "It is ok, it may not need anything and is passing through.
"What?" Edythe ask. Just then the slick white colt with his blaze completely black walks right up to me still lying on the ground and *snorts* in my face.
"What happened this time, and you did not have to snort in my face."
I was watching for him to answer when I heard the sound of an offroad hunting buggy. Sighing I unwound my arms from Edythe and stood up.
"You should go, Edythe, we would not want anyone to see you" she covers her chest with her arms when the colt gave an approving *nicker* and signed {great catch}
{great catch yourself} I sign, the colt gave me a confused tilt of his head, so I point towards the sound of the buggy.
"Are you two talking about me?"
"yes." walking over to her I kissed her on the cheek and then turned to face the direction of the buggy that was getting closer.
"You know you could have run to Wolf-House and laid on the porch instead of leading them here.
"I will not be far," Edythe said as she ran into the trees to hide from the humans.
That is when I shift to my full Wolf form, my 6' height and 8' length not including my 2' 6" tail, making me larger than the colt of two winters.
The buggy's lights fill the clearing, I darken my eyes to adjust to the new light.
"There it is look like it ran out of steam. Now we got something to show the fellas about." I saw one of the three men raise a rifle and point it at the white colt.
Just as the man looked down the sight I stepped from around the colt to stand in way of the shot. I had my barrier up using the dew on the grown to form it. This is why it's good to live in a rainy part of the world.
The men's tanned colored faces went sheet white. "RUN." The man with the rifle yells as he shot.
The dart flew across the distance at an absolutely slow speed for me. It was so slow that I let it pass my barrier to swat it out of the air with my right front paw.
I raise my hackle, let my fangs slide out, and my claws. My *growl* was so deep and menacing that I could feel the colt's fear as he took several steps away from me.
The man with the rifle was in the process of loading bullets. I let out a *growl* and change my stance to get ready to lunge at him. He fumbles the rounds dropping them, then he hands the rifle to one of the men in the buggy.
The rifle-man jumps back in the buggy and it spins its tire as it reveres. Turning it jumped as it drove as fast as it could over tree roots.
I had not moved from the spot, as I adjusted my eyes to keep track of the buggy. My hackles were still up when I felt Edythe's already cold arms go around my middle just behind my shoulder.
"That was hard, seeing that man pointing a gun at you. I was fighting with myself not to run over there and rip his arm off."
Retracting my claw and fangs I stood to shift back to Lycan form but Edythe decided to swing her leg around my side with her arms still around my middle.
Edythe was now on my back like I was a horse. Her bare breasts were pressed against my back. She nuzzles her face into the fur on the back of my neck.
I shutter a little as I remember the second time I found her. She was born an Elf descendant and would ride on my back as I raced through the forest. Being an Elf descendant she lived to be 210 winters. I spent 185 of those winters as her mate.
"(Red) wrap your arm around my neck and hold on." {go} I flick my tail at the colt.
She scoped forward on my back and lightly wraps her arms around my neck. "What are you going to…"
Edythe's words cut off as I sprinted across the clearing. With my very recent fill of a hunt, I had strength and speed to spend.
I have let other people ride in an emergency, but running full out with my other soul fills me with joy. *Howling* with that joy I dug my claws into the cold hard ground and weave around the trees.
After several winters of practice running with her on my back in one of her previous lives. I was able to get about 110mph without her falling off. Now that she is a Vampire I wonder.
"(Red) Edythe I have connected our thought so we can talk over the wind. I would like to know if you want to try going faster. I do not want you to fall off."
I felt Edythe pat my side like she was telling a horse to go faster. At least she was not treating me like a stray puppy.
"(Edythe) Gallup, sprint, go, go, go.." I rolled my eye even though she could not possibly see me do it.
Adjusting my shoulders and changing how deep I sank my claws into the ground I accelerated even faster. leaping over a back road at about 155mph and hitting the ground on the other side I continue going faster.
I could not see or hear Edythe but the joy and thrill I got from her thought, was enough for me to try and reach my Wolf forms max speed.
After what felt like a short time the sun started to creep above the horizon. The cloud cover was still dark enough for Edythe to attend school.
Edythe was sitting up on my back running her hand across the top of my head from one ear tip to the other.
Turning I headed back to the clearing to drop her off and grab my cloak.
"Where are we going now?"
"(Red) we are heading back so your brother does not come looking for you. I do not think he will be pleased to find you half-nake riding a Werewolf."
Back at the spot, Edythe slid off my back and I shift to my 6' Lycan form. Picking up the cloak, stepping behind Edythe, clipping it around her neck, and throwing the hood over her head.
The cloak was only 5' 8" in its current form but it cover her nicely.
It was 07:45 already the night had flown by. I need to get home change and drive to school to not arouse suspicion that I did not drive to school.
"I need to get going". I said. With Edythe and I being eye to eye in height, I stood on my toes making me a little taller. Leaning in I kissed her on the forehead under the hood.
Turning to leave Edythe grabbed my left hand stopping me.
I got a short flash of her future. Edythe was talking to someone I could not see. Then the future Edythe said, "Alice no we did not." The vision started to give me a headache so I pulled myself back to the present.
"I will see you here tonight?" Edythe said in a questioning tone. I took my free hand and cup hers and lifted it to my face.
Looking into her bright golden eyes. "No, I'm sorry Edythe I have an appointment I can not reschedule. I do have Saturday open after 13:00."
"Ok, I will see you Saturday."
