Werewolf Meets Huntress

Chapter 9. Haunting Night

"Where are we going?" Riley giggled as Lucas pulled her to where they kept all the school buses.

"I thought we'd get some privacy," Lucas gave her a knee-wobbling smirk and cracked one of the bus doors open. "After you my lady." He bowed at her.

She smiled at him and bounced happily inside. She sat towards the back and Lucas followed sitting in the seat across from hers.

"It's quiet here," She said resting her head on the window and closing her eyes. "It's nice."

"Yeah," Lucas said mimicking her actions. "Peaceful. Just the sounds of nature and the smells of dirty teenager stench."

They laughed, opened their eyes and looked at each other. Riley got up and sat next to Lucas taking his hand and playing with his fingers gently.

"I like this," He murmured, lacing their fingers together. "I like us. I like us very much."

"I do too," She bit her lip nervously, her eyes trailing down from his eyes to his lips. "I like us so much."

Lucas leaned forward to press his lips on hers. They stayed like that for a bit, an innocent peck before it turned into a full blown kiss. They kissed each other hungrily, passionately,  but with so much care and grace.

Lucas flipped Riley over, her back pressing into the cool window. She grabbed at his hair, pulling him as close as she could physically possible.

Lucas pulled back and Riley pouted. He smirked, his eyes sparkling as he watched her flush and wide-eyed. "I like this a lot too."

She grinned excitedly and pulled him back in for another kiss. Her soft, warm hands were on his chest and growled into her mouth.

Lucas could feel a strange feeling through his body and he felt dizzy. He figured his hormones were going haywire. Except he started feeling a familiar ache in his jaw that could only mean one thing.

"Stop," He gasped pulling away from her and wheeling around so she couldn't see him.

"Are you okay?" She breathed.

"No." He hunched over, his teeth sharpened and his rearranged itself. He grabbed onto the seat to steady himself, but his claws dug into violently as he let out a growl.

"Lucas you're scaring me." Riley jumped out of the seat and was about to place a hand on his shoulder when he whirled around suddenly.

Riley's eyes widened and her mouth fell open as her eyes swept over Lucas's wolfish face and bright golden eyes. She let out a strangled sob as he opened his mouth to growl.

"GO!" He snarled, his hands flying in anger. His claws catching her frightened eyes. "LEAVE NOW!"

She stayed like that momentarily before her fight-or-flight instincts kicked in. She dashed towards the door, her legs quaking and her breath coming out it in shallow, airy patterns.

She didn't get far, Lucas grabbed her ankles and knocked her to the floor with a loud bang. She fell, crying, and clawing at the floor. Her nails became bloody.

She scratched his face and he snarled shoving her to the floor again hard. Her hands grabbed onto poles underneath the nearby seats as he caught her ankles again. She grasped them firmly.

Lucas tugged her towards him and she grabbed onto another seat more strongly. She was sobbing, her heart thundering in her chest and her mouth was emitting all sorts of sounds. She got a foot out of his grasp and kicked him solidly on the nose.

He hissed, his other hand letting go of her ankle to aid his aching nose. She took advantage of his distraction and ran towards the door.

It was closed. She started banging on it, her hands covered in her own blood and from his, were leaving bloody handprints on the glass.
