Crimson

The dark celebration

"You two have got to stop being children! Do you know how frustrating it is to hear you both yapping off in my ear about which species is more superior? So what if you guys can change form and you guys can turn into fucking disco balls in the light! Not everyone cares about that!" I say as I wave my hands up in the air and rest them back on my hips, they look at me shocked and then turn to each other.

"I have had it up to here with you two! If it where up to me! I'd have a meeting with both of your leaders and tell them that on these school grounds there will be no fighting! And if I have to listen to you both argue one more time about superiority I'll absolutely lose it!" I yell at them, Conner fights with his wolf as he growls before dropping his head and rubbing his eyes while Rogers just smiles and claps his hands.

"Did you prepare that? Or was it just off the top of your head?" he snickers at me; I thin my eyes and make fists with my hands as I close my eyes breathing slowly.

"If you make one more snarky remark then I'll grab a bat and shove it so far up your ass that you'll be spitting out splinters for the rest of your days got it?" I say to him as he stops smiling and coughs awkwardly leaning over to Conner.

"Your girlfriend scares me" he says as he stands up, though he was only a head taller then me I still wasn't afraid of him or his kind, he looks at Conner then leaves us as I relax a bit and turn back to Conner who was still looking down.

"Parker?" I ask as I sit down next to him grabbing his hand, he hesitantly looks up and into my eyes his green orbs search mine.

"I'm okay, just never seen you like that before"

"Well I was just so sick and tired hearing about how Vampires are more special because they glow in the dark or whatever, and how wolves are cooler because they can change form" I say with a sigh as he smiles at me.

"We are cooler though" he says making me smile and laugh lightly at him, he hugs me and kisses my forehead before standing up and giving me his hand as we walk back into the classroom.

It's been weeks and my heart yearns for James, though Conner makes it easier it is still hard, Rogers and his friends stopped arguing with us on school grounds thankfully but what was worse was the fact that Conner and I auditioned for the main roles jokingly and now they want us to do call backs, I'm waiting outside the theatre with Ronny and Beth while we nervously pace outside for Conner to go and walk out.

"So?" Beth says, Conner stops walking and sighs; I drop my smile as he looks at me and slowly brightens his face with the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"We're in!" he says to me, I look at him and freeze for a moment as he hugs me with the others all of us jumping up and down.

"We've gotta celebrate! To Chloe's!" he says as he takes my hand and shoves all of us in his car as he zooms off down the street as we all jump out and walk into the house, we blast music since my dad was away with his friends for the week. Conner came back into the house moments later with more friends as we all have a party; it was in full swing by nine as everyone was celebrating.

"Um how exactly did you put this together in literal seconds?" I say as I walk up the stairs to see Conner sitting on my bed with a red cup in his hand, I close the door behind me drowning out the sound of all the drunk teens down the stairs, Ronny left a while ago since he wanted to sleep and Conner didn't mind, he looks up his eyes turning black and red as he smiles standing up, I lean against the door as he looks outside.

"Why do you think it took so long for me to get out of the theatre?" he says to me as he takes my cup and puts it on the dresser as he steps closer to me looking at me.

"Conner, I don't think that this is a good idea"

"I've been having these thoughts since the moon came out" he says to me as he moves his head down slightly so his lips graze against mine, and his breath fans my face.

"Conner" I partially moan out as my eyes flick down to his lips and then to his eyes still black and red as he cups my face and he presses his lips against mine, at first I am confused and fighting against the urges of kissing him back but then I fell into it more, a hand moving to the back of my head and the other one moving to the small of my back as he pushes his lips harder against mine.

I begin to walk towards the bed taking him by surprise when I push him down on the bed and crawl on top of him, I move one of my hands to his cheek and I tug on his hair lightly as he sits up moving his hands to my waist and letting them travel across my back, he flips us over and trails down my neck slightly before hearing a thud down the stairs and stopping.

"What is it?" I say as he looks at me and growls his eyes black and red, I am shocked at first but then he flicks to green and walks out of the room and down the stairs steaming with anger, I follow him and see the last of him dragging someone out of the house and out the back, I know that he's going to do something bad so I jump off of the stairs and grab Beth as we follow Conner outside, I stop before I land myself in the light as Beth looks at me strangely.

"You've gotta stop him, he's gonna kill that kid"

"What the hell are you? A werewolf? Come on!" she says as she tries to pull me into the light, I pull away from her.

"Beth!" I shout at her as she groans turning back around to see Conner throwing the kid onto the ground.

"Conner! Stop it!" I shout as he turns to me, his eyes dark and crimson as Beth turns to me.

"What is Conner?" she says to me as the rest of the kids inside start to pour out of the room and watch the fight, Beth is frozen not knowing what to do since she sees Conner's wolf come out, and I can't unless we want James' wolf to come down here.
