WIND ROSE (Ruby Rose Fanfic)

TWENTY-SEVEN (ISELEN POV)

I turn on the mattress, sighing but not opening my eyes, till my arm touches a warm body, soft skin and silky hair that smells of grapefruit shampoo. I smile and cuddle closer to the human, enjoying the sensation... It's rare for my girl to be still in bed when I wake up, Terra and Ruby usually get up before I open my eyes when the sun is still high in the sky and they make breakfast, take the dogs out for a walk or they go grocery shopping. I extend my arm further and my hand finds the werewolf's hip covered with the sheet, the steady pace of her breathing confirms me that she's still soundly asleep too.

"This is weird," I think yawning but keeping my eyes shut. I guess these past days excitement has taken a toll on us and we needed to rest after escaping from Marsh's house unnoticed, fortunately, and speaking to Elric; that damned wizard gets on my nerves, he's always a drama queen and sees the dark side of everything. My beautiful girls were very anxious because of his words and I thought that a little bit of sex in the shower would be the solution to the problem: an orgasm is better than a sleeping pill. It's pretty obvious that it worked well since they're here with me, it's worth suffering some jaw pain as long as they're satisfied and exhausted.

Or maybe I'm awake for another reason... The smell of the human's blood is tempting, as usual, sweet and delicious. I rub her neck with the tip of my nose and heave a sigh, maybe I'm hungry... Or maybe her dogs have disturbed me barking, pacing up and down the bedroom nervously, but I could swear that Ruby left them wandering around the garden last night while we were having a shower, which means they should be sleeping on the living room couch, not here with us. My inner clock tells me it's too early for me to be awake, this is strange... What the hell is going on? I feel I'm being watched, that's it... I open my eyes suddenly, fully alert, and scan the entire dark room.

"Georgina for fuck's sake!" I cry sitting down on the mattress abruptly while the dogs start barking on the other side of the door frantically.

"What the...?" Terra wakes up scared and almost falls from the bed to the floor while struggling with the sheet tangled in her legs to be able to sit down too. Ruby opens her eyes next to me, surprised and confused for a second.

"Sorry," the ghost smiles amused but remains silent, floating at the foot of the bed and illuminating the bedroom with a soft light, watching us creepily. The human sits down frowning and opens her mouth to say something but Georgina averts her eyes to her breasts and Ruby seems to remember she's naked, she puts her arms around my torso and tries to hide behind my body, getting stuck to my back, because Terra is still struggling to get rid of the sheets.

"What the hell do you want? Are you crazy? How much time have you been watching us sleeping? And what the hell are you doing here?" I growl angrily and she smiles again.

"Those are lot of questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"

"Screw you! I'm going to exorcise the attic and kick your ectoplasmic ass out of the Wind Rose..." I cry pointing at her with my index angrily buy she doesn't seem impressed, I guess I threatened her with the same words too many times without consequences before.

"Georgina, what's wrong?" Terra asks calmer, dropping the sheets without bothering to cover her body anymore.

"Maeve has sent me," the ghost answers smiling. "It's nice to leave that damned house for a change, Los Angeles is quite big and interesting, there're many lights and humans having fun all the time. It looks nothing like the cities I visited when I was alive, I was in London once with my mother when I was a child..."

"Can you leave the Wind Rose? I thought that ghosts were anchored in a specific place, usually where they had lived and died... Where are you from?" Ruby asks confused while trying to put on the T-shirt I've found on the floor next to me without Georgina seeing her naked breasts again.
