The Way of The Pack

Moonlit Magic & Monsters

Lara's POV: I ran upstairs and went to bed after reading the letter. I returned it to Lilly the next morning, and I waited until, five. I got ready, by straightening my hair, putting on a white skirt, a neon tank and a dark cardigan. I put on my vans, straightened my bow, and went outside. It was six thirty and Ben stood outside wearing jeans, a dressy shirt and vans. He led me down the hill, to a little table with lights hung in the trees, candles on the table, two plates, a few rose petals surrounding the table, two chairs, and a basket. We had dinner, danced, talked and laughed. **********************

Lilly's POV: I got ready for my date with Blaze. I wore a black dress, straightened my hair, put on my new/old necklace, and put on my black converse. I waited outside until Blaze came. "Sorry. Fan caught me in the hall, I told him I was going to the bathroom and I sneaked out the window. " I laughed and he took my hand. "Let's go." He took me into the forest as we stopped by a tree. "Umm.. Blaze? Where are supposed to go?" I asked. "Look up." I looked up to find a treehouse with a rope latter hanging down. The tree was lit up with twinkly lights. "Go ahead up." He gestured to the latter. "I'll be right behind." He assured me. I climbed the latter and stepped up on the porch. "Wow!" I said in amazement. "A little help here!" Blaze said struggling to hold on. I grabbed his hands and helped him up. "Hold on." He tied something around my face and led me into the treehouse. I heard something turn on and he untied to mask. I looked around my eyes still adjusting to the light and turned to him in awe. The floor was hardwood, there were rugs around it, a coffee table, a couch, a Tv, and it even had a ceiling fan. "This. Is. Amazing." We walked to the couch, sat down and he turned on the Tv. "Rematch." He said smiling, he tossed me a controller and picked Mario. I picked Yoshi and we played Mario Kart trying to beat each other. Afterwards we went out to the deck. I sat down and put my feet over the edge. Blaze did the same, and grabbed my hand. He showed me the constellations and told me their names. ************************

Fan's POV: After talking to Blaze in the hall, I went back to

my room. I wasn't tired so I decided to go on a walk. I climbed on the ledge outside my window and felt the wind tugging at my clothes. I closed my eyes and jumped. My adrenaline rushed, and I transformed at the last second. I landed on my feet but, it was painful like the other 1 million times I've done that. I ran through the forest the trees going by in a blur. I stopped. I sang to myself getting wrapped up in my thoughts. "If I told you what I was, would you turn your back on me? And if I seem dangerous, would you be scared? I get the feeling just because, everything I touch isn't dark enough. I'm only a man with a chamber, who's got me. I'm taking a stand, to escape what's inside me. A monster, A monster. I've turned a monster. A monster and it keeps getting stronger.

Can I clear my conscience, if I'm different from the rest?" "Do I have to run and hide?" a voice called out. "Oh oh oh. I never said I wanted this, this burden came to me." Another voice sang. "W-who are you? Where are you?" I asked. "Im in the sky." the first voice joked. "No for real." I said. "No. I really am!" I could tell this was a female messing with me. But, what female would mess with me? There are

2 answers to that. "Why don't you come out of the shadows, female alpha?" The girl chuckled. She must have been in a tree because she jumped and landed in the dark. "I'm flattered but, I'm not interested." "Can you just come here?" I asked. Lilly stepped into the light and laughed. "Fan, I'm not sure your girlfriend would appreciate that." "Anna isn't my girlfriend!" I shouted. Then someone else jumped from the tree. "You, sure?" Blaze asked. "Yeah, she seems like she's your girlfriend." Lilly's POV: "Do you want me to tell everyone you were out together past curfew?" "No." We replied and walked back to the house. Fan showed us a new way to get in and helped us through the window. Blaze went to his room and I went to mine. I knew I couldn't go to bed after that amazing date. I took out a notepad and wrote, That date was wonderful. Thank you so much. I really like you. And I wanted to know, would you like to go somewhere tomorrow? ;) . Then, I slipped the note under his door and waited. He put the paper back under the door and I grabbed it. It read, I had a great time too. & shouldn't I be asking you out? I'd love to. And I really like you too. I smiled and blushed then, I wrote. Open your door. He read it and slowly opened his door. He was grinning and I kissed his cheek. Then, I whispered "Night." He mouthed "Night, Lil". I went to my room and fell asleep.
