Future AU (AiJyul Story)

Fangs Part 3

[Aires' POV]

You finally get up after he leaves. It's kind of a struggle but at least you managed to sit up. You look back again at Juliet just laying there. You don't have the strength yet to stand up so you crawl toward her.

You touch her arm "Juliet..." But she suddenly gets up and jumps back. Growling a little. She has her guard up but she's trying to inch back. She's angry but scared, she's confused. She continues to snarl.

"No Juliet it's okay. He's gone now. it's just me." You open up your arms for her but she continues to inch back.

She's trying to run away. Can't she tell that it's me? You notice something missing from her face. That's right, her glasses broke. Without them, she can always tell it's you from your red hair but it's nighttime right now, she can't see it very well. You flare your hair up, it burns in bright pink. She immediately responded to it. Looking at it, mesmerized. She sits down, her hands in front of her, like a dog.

"It's okay Jyuls. It's just me." You reassure her, slowly moving closer to her, and gently hug her. You hear a single whimper.

"*sigh* Don't listen to what he says Jyuls, he's only taking advantage of you." You say. "And you're not useless Jyuls. You're just waiting to--AH!" You feel a sharp pain in your arm. You look to see Juliet biting your arm.

"Ju-Juliet!?!" You try to pull it off her. It tore a bit off your sleeve. It even left two scratches on your skin, blood slowly coming out. You look back at her looking so clueless. She even has a bit off your sleeve in her teeth.

"Juliet, why did you do that?" You whine. You try to remove the fabric on her teeth. She opens her mouth at your command and you remove it from her teeth. "What happened to you?" You cup her face. "Did...he do something to you?"

"Juliet? Say something?"

She looks up at your hair, then at your face. Her eyes suddenly soften, tears start to appear, and she begins to cry. Breaking down. You hug her again, this time she exchanges your embrace.

You just let her cry while you comfort her with your warmth.

A couple of minutes have passed. She releases herself and looks up at you, she squints her eyes. "Aires...?" She says.

"Are you feeling better now?" You ask.

She wipes her eyes and looks down, lightly shaking her head.

"If...he hurt you somehow... you can tell me."

She shakes her head again.

You hold her cheek and move her head up, looking at her exhausted face.

"Since when did you have fangs?"

She's surprised by that question. "Huh?" She touches her teeth to find it. When she noticed the sharp fang, she seemed stunned. More surprised than you do. "I-I don't have fangs..."

"What?! But then how..." You examine her teeth more but she grabs hold of your hands. "I don't know! I--they suddenly appeared?"

"You didn't notice?"

"I-It must've happened when he dropped me. I was getting angry at that time and the next thing I know... I'm...here..." Her pace suddenly slows down. The realization is slowly getting to her.

"I didn't know you could do that."

"I don't either." You're surprised by that response.

"Maybe we can ask Uncle Furr. See if he has any answers." You suggest.
