The Wolf Affair

Chapter 4 Care for Werewolves

(Akira's POV)

I've been here for about 2 days, and Alex has shown me so many cool things. She even introduced me to her parents. They didn't seem bad. Actually, they were like me. Well, not werewolves but other species.

Her mother was an angel, not one from heaven, though. She was basically a human who had wings and God-like powers(and was immortal unless she was killed with certain weapons). Her father was corrupted, their not like demons, and they weren't from hell. They are basically like the inbetween of Angels and Demons (Shadows are demons).

(Before you say anything about them being creatures and Alex being a human, they aren't her real parents)

"So what's this? Is it a sword?" I asked Mrs. Halley, who was cutting up a carrot. She laughed and shook her head, "No, this is a knife. You can cut up things with it, so I guess it is like a sword." She said, putting it in the sink.

Get this. A sink has water in it, and you don't need to go to a river to wash your hands! 'Where's Alex? She left a few hours ago and hasn't come back yet.' I thought. <Don't you dare make the poor girl come home hurt!>

[Is that what you take me for? Just a person who likes to see the characters in pain?] <Well you literally made a character get almost beaten to death a couple chapters ago so....> [Oh you shut it!] My ears suddenly twitched 'What was that?' It kind of sounded like talking, but I think it was just the wind.

I looked outside and saw a big yellow thing moving. It stopped in front of the house, and the door opened. A few kids got out! 'Did it EAT those kids?!' I then saw Alex walk out. She walked up the path and to the door.

Ok, I need anyone who has an animal that's similar to a werewolf to tell me if this is normal. Does its tail start to go up and down when it sees you? Or its ears go flat against its head? Because mine did! It felt like I had a Sparkle(✨) in my eyes. Is that weird? <You made the Werewolf have the same personality as a domesticated puppy.> [*nods*] <Why?> [it's funny?]

(Alex's POV)

I walked into the house and almost fell to the ground laughing. Akira was standing there looking confused and looking at me to her tail, which was waging up and down, meaning she was happy. "Hello, sweetheart." My mom said, walking up from behind Akira and patting her on her head. "Hi, mom!" I said, smiling. "How was school?"

<*Mimicking Mrs. Halley's voice* Did you get bullied because the stupid boy who thinks he has the right to make the story made it that way!> [Why you little!-] "No fighting!" I said, looking up. Akira looked at me with a confused face, and my mom looked up and glared.

See, I hear voices. Not like "I'm going crazy" voices but normal ones. Except I can only hear them (occasionally my mom can to). I don't know much about them, but I do know they hate each other. One calls himself Light, and the other calls herself Shadow, I don't think Shadow knows who they are. <She knows we still hear her, right? Well, I can still hear her. You can read.> "Don't insult him." I said, and I heard Light laugh."That goes for you too, Light." I said and heard him growl angrily.

"Anyway, school was good. How was yours and Akira's day?" I said, watching Akira shake her head, her long white hair going over her dirt covered face. 'She still needs a bath.' I thought walking closer. "It was good. Akira's learned about a lot of new things." Mom said, "I like the TV!" Akira's said happily. "What's school?" She said a moment later, looking around.

"It's where Alex goes to learn about stuff normal people think is necessary." Mom said, going to walk upstairs. "You girls have fun. And Alex, I made soup for Mr. Jackson. Could you bring it over later?" She said. I nodded, and she smiled and disappeared upstairs.

"Your mother is weird." Akira said, looking at me, "She made me taste something called a pancake, which isn't a cake?" I laughed, and she smiled at me. "Ok, now that I'm home, we have to talk." She looked at me confused. We sat on the couch. "So, werewolves all turned to stone for 300 years, right?" She nodded, looking sad."So it's weird to walk around with ears and a tail. Unless you're a neko." I said, and her ears went up.

"Oh! I can hide them! Watch!" She said smiling, and for a quick moment, her eyes flashed yellow and her ears and tail were gone, her ears were replaced with normal human ears, and her fangs were smaller. [If you've watched the new monster high movie,*tiny-tiny spoiler* When Clawdeen turns into her human form for the first time, that's what it looks like. Minus the fear and Akira's eyes are still purple. And her hair is still white *end of tiny-tiny spoiler*] 'Well, that wasn't in the book!' I thought curiously.

"See. No more wolf." She said, standing up. "Ok...well, that would work. But here the thing I don't think you can do that forever, right?" I asked. She thought for a moment and then shook her head. "Well, I have an idea." I said as she looked at me."You have a full wolf form, right?" I asked. She nodded slowly, looking at me.

She sat down on the floor and looked into my eyes. The same flash happened in her eyes but brighter. So bright that I had to close my eyes, after I opened them I froze. In front of me, a large white wolf sat in the same place Akira was. I crouched down so I could look her in the eyes. She tilted her head and waged her tail. "You're beautiful, you look almost....Like snow. Minus your fur being covered in dirt." I said, laughing as she growled at the last part.

Just as fast as she turned, she turned back. "Why?" She said, smiling. "Well, how long can you stay like that?" "A while." She said, playing with her hair. "Humans have pets. Like animal companies, and I was thinking maybe -" "Ok. I know what you mean. I'm I going to be the pet?" She said, standing up. 'She's so cute!' I thought blushing "Yes, but let's not say pet. That could be awkward. You really just look like a big puppy." I said, standing up.

"One more thing, Akira." I said, walking over to the door and unlocking it. "What?" She said suspiciously,"Akira. Humans have pets, and part of that is taking care of them." She nodded.

"And it would be animal abuse if we didn't. So I will give you a choice. Wolf form or human?" Akira thought about it for a moment and backed a way. "Wolf. Why?" Slowly, I walked forward. "Ok, I want you to go upstairs and get a t-shirt and shorts and put them on." She nodded and left.

After about 20 minutes, she walked down (I told her to wait a bit). "What are you doing, Alex?" I walked over to her and pet her head. "Akira, you have to take a bath." I said. She went into her wolf form and ran upstairs. Note to all people who find themselves taking care of a werewolf. They hate baths.
