Teacher

A Little Different

~No One~
"Now remember, mi hija. This room takes your fears to use against you." Héctor circled Selene. "You will transform, but you will be in control. Not your fears."

"Yes, sir."

Selene had been training with Héctor for two weeks. She trusted him to teach her and he trusted her to learn. They had more respect for each other too.

Pietro and Wanda appeared before her, their features softly illuminated by pale moonlight. Selene's body trembled as she struggled to control herself.

~Héctor~
"Selene? You're scaring me." Wanda cowered behind her brother and Selene took steps back.

Wanda. I'm sorry, Wanda.

"No! Stand your ground! Don't let your emotions make you run away!" She shook her head and stayed put.

"You're a monster, Волчица!" Selene stepped forward, whimpering as Pietro backed away. Her body began to shrink back down, and her eyes regained their human appearance. (What?)

No, dathúil. Please don't leave. The twins flickered and the room shook.

I looked around, trying to find out if something was wrong. But when I turned my attention back to Selene, she was once more her human form.

~Selene~
"How did you do that?" "Why am I human?" Héctor and I walked up to each other and asked our questions at the same time.

"I don't know." Our responses were the same too.

"Let's try this." Héctor sat me down. "Think of that boy, Pietro." I did as told, and felt myself smiling. Every detail came to my mind. His dual coloured hair and blue eyes. His facial hair and the way it feels against my cheeks when he hugs me. The way his shirt clings to his muscles--

Héctor pulled me from my thoughts. "Interesting. Now think of Hellen." My body burned upon hearing that name. My mother's name. Red-orange curls, bright green eyes and freckles. She had curves, but a thin waist also. Too bad she wasn't as beautiful inside as she was outside. My mind faded in and out and I felt my bones readjusting.

Héctor snapped his fingers. My mind turning off, like a switch.

~No One~
Héctor picked up Selene's body and brought them both back to the training room. "Волчица!" Pietro and Wanda were waiting for them.

"She'll be happy to see you. But her training ended a little differently today. So, don't be surprised if she's tired or grumpy." Héctor put Selene in the speedster's arms. "If you'll excuse me, I need to consult the ancestors." With that, he disappeared.

Wanda looked at Selene and got an idea. "Can you take care of her today? I need to do some stuff too. Kay, thanks, bye!" She hurried off.

"Okay." Pietro, oblivious to Wanda's intentions, smiled down at the girl in his arms. "Looks like it's just you and me, Волчица." He walked to Selene's room with her in his arms.

*Hey guys, I'll probably end up creating a species sheet for Elementals and Shifters, just to tell you more about them. Including, but not limited to, their strengths, weaknesses, habits, behaviours, etc. But happy reading!*
