Misfits

Chapter 4

Peri's Pov (Peridot)

I woke up, my eyes being blinded by the sun's rays. I looked over to my left to see Lapis smoking and writhing in pain. My wolf got alerted and I quickly closed the curtains and was by her side.

After a while, her breathing became slow and steady. I sighed in relief, I wasn't about to let my Friend get roasted. Friend, did lapis see me as a friend? After what happened last night, I hope she did.

I heard a groan come out of Lapis' mouth and she woke up.

"Ow, what happened to me?" She said, noticing the blisters on her skin. It started to lighten and heal itself.

"I just woke up and saw you were hurting, I closed the curtains so it would stop." I explained with tired eyes. I guess moving so quickly after waking up made me a little dizzy.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good." Lapis told me while feeling my forehead.

"I'm fine, don't worry." I said.

I brushed her hand away and went to my private desk. Each student gets their own desk. I opened my laptop and started emailing my parents.

10:17am
PeridotGreene: "hey Mom, Dad. I decided to put all my messages on dad's 'cause he always checks on it. So anyways, I've settled in my dorm and I hope that you'll also visit me here. That's all, bye..."

I clicked send and closed my laptop and sighed. I looked at Lapis and saw that she was staring at me. I raised my eyebrow and she shrugged. I stood up.

"Wanna go somewhere? It's kinda boring in here." I said while getting a hoodie from my part of the closet.

"Where to? I wouldn't mind if we go somewhere, just nowhere near the sunlight, okay? It still kinda stings." She said, rubbing her forearms.

I nodded and wore the hoodie, took the dorm room keys and went out with Lapis towards the cafeteria. The halls don't have windows in them, they only have lamps to light the way. As we went towards the cafeteria, I started to smell different kinds of scents. Another werewolf and a vampire, a witch, a demon and an angel, and a gargoyl. I opened the double door of the cafeteria and went in with Lapis.

As we neared, I saw a tall dark skinned she-wolf dressed ruggedly. She was stuck in a shift. Wolf ears, claws, fangs and all. She also has three eyes which made me do a double-take. She was sitting down with a poker face while using her phone.

Beside her was a witch: Tall, pointy nose, fair skin and the casual witch outfit. She was holding a metal staff with a spiraly design and a pointy end. I guess not all witches use brooms.

She was arguing with a bobcat. Small and a little pudgy, but she seems strong. Sharp claws and a bushy tail. I wonder why she isn't that furry.

Then there was a little boy. With claws, sharp teeth and little horns. He also got a demons tail, you know that tail with like an arrow looking point in the end. I was confused, where was the other vampire and the angel?

The kid saw us, he came to me and shook my hand. "Hey there! I'm Steven, what's your name?" He said grinning. I heard a growl beside me. What the, I saw one of the pack warriors glaring at him. I pinched his shoulder and he looked at me.

"What the heck are you doing here?" I demanded answers, I thought they weren't gonna come 'till next week?

He bowed with respect. "I am very sorry future Luna, I thought he was a threat. Forgive me." He said.

I sighed and patted his back. "Just don't do that again. You're free to go, I'll just call you whenever I need you okay?" I said looking at him in the eyes. He nodded and left. As I turned to look at Steven, he looked at me with stars in his eyes, literally.
