Dusk&Dawn

-4-

<Side's POV>

I inhaled some rather nasty dust that I have unintentionally packed in my luggage.

I couldn't help but sneeze.

Speedy must've heard it from his bedroom as he yelled at me.

"You okay there Side?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine." I reply.

I couldn't help but giggle at his yell.

I could hear him laughing with Sammi upstairs, and it caused me to laugh even harder.

"Ah...huh...haha...I...I..*hup*..can't...huuuuh...breathe..." I gasp like a fish out of water.

"Hahaha Side can't breathe." I hear Speedy snort, his iconic laughter taunting me.

After a while, I quietened down, looking at my father's keychain and Speedy's offset reaction.

And my argument with my dad.

I recall the supernatural growl, wincing at the memory of his words.

"You are a prince! You must retain the bloodline."

My father's eyes were red, he was speaking in our native tongue, Albanian.

His declaration struck deep within me.

Prince..retain the bloodline..

Grabbing out my laptop, making sure this time I won't throw around dust in the room, I switched it on.

Going onto Google, I soon encounter a problem.

I didn't ask Speedy for his wifi password. Still a little unsettled by his odd reaction earlier, I brushed the thought aside.

I opened the bedroom door and head upstairs to their room.

I knock on the door, hearing that they were talking in there.

"Yes Side?" Speedy asks.

"I know this is a pretty late question but, can I have your wifi password? I kinda have to use my laptop to search something online." I rub my hands together nervously.

"Oh, why didn't you ask me earlier?" He swung open the door.

Sammi was looking at me with an unreadable expression, and I had a slightly uncomfortable feeling that something strange was going on.

"I'll write it down for you." Speedy headed down the stairs and I ran after him.

I put my greater unease aside and follow Speedy.

In the living room, which is connected to the kitchen/dining area, Speedy grabbed a sticky note from a notepad that was conveniently stuck on the fridge.

"A pen. A pencil. Whatever I can write with." Speedy mutters turning circles as he looked around the kitchen for writing material.

"Ah, found a pen." Speedy grabbed it from the counter and scribbled the numbers on it.

"Here." He handed me the sticky note, tossed the pen backwards, and walked away.

After I watched the pen sail behind the kitchen island, I turned around, and Speedy was gone.

I look at the note he handed me. While it did show the wifi password, there were also some words written below it.

'Here's the wifi password, you can text me later, I'm doing some recording. You can join if you want. Sorry I was a bit too straightforward just now.'

It looks like he apologised for his behaviour.

I held the note and returned to the guest bedroom, typing in the password for both my laptop and my phone.

Typing in Google, I managed to get onto a page on 'Wolven'.

I navigate the site, realising there were a lot more to werewolves than their fur and fangs.

<Speedy's POV>

I return to the room, you see Sammi sleeping in bed.

As I ease the door shut, she woke up.

"So?" Sam got up and looked at me.

"What?" I ask her.

"How did it go? Did you apologise to Side?"

"No. I didn't, I just kinda wrote the password and left." I sat down next to my laptop.

"Then did you smell his werewolf or whatever?"

"Nope. He's not hiding for sure. He is just human, with royal blood." I scrunch up my nose and sneezed.

It was just a little itchy, and it was a tiny sneeze, nothing like Side's.

"Bless you." Sam ruffled my hair.

I shifted and licked her on the cheek.

"Ew. Not again." She wiped her face and I gave her a gruff barking laugh.

She tackled me and we lay on the floor laughing and barking.

Phoenix and Kota were barking too, more excited then anything.

I huff a little, lying down next to Sammi, on the floor.

"If what you said was true, what is Side?" Sam blurted out.

'..uh..carrier?' Was what I was trying to say, but all that came out was: "ruh...urrah?"

"Shift back." Sammi bopped me on the nose.

I shifted and carried her onto the bed.

"He's likely just a carrier." I pepper her cheek with kisses.

"Then, do you know any actual Royal Werewolves?" Sam asked, curling underneath the covers.

"Maybe..? I don't really know." I check the time by the bedside clock.

"Okay. I'm going to nap. Get lost." She waved me away.

"Fine. I'm going to record, don't bother me." I grab my laptop and walk out of the room.

I headed to my recording room, shut and locked the door.

My computer is always on standby mode, so I just turn on the screen to return to my main screen.

I notice that G18 and Side were in discord together. Odd, I was guessing Side would be playing some games, but not with G18.

I also notice Jahova was already online.

I click onto his channel.

"Hey Speedy." His loud voice yelled through my headphones, that were gladly not on my head.

"Sup. Ready for some Portal 2?" I ask.

"Yup. But the real question is, are you ready?" His voice enquired.

"Nope."

"Well, hurry up you bitch."

"I am." I had clicked onto the game and it was loading.

"Well, let's begin then." Jahova clapped his hands together.

I lower the volume on my headphones and slipped them on.

And the first thing Hova did was yell.
