Laurenzside as Nova Klein
~~•~~•~~•~~•~~
Nova sat in the back of class, her beanie hiding her bright orange ears from veiw, she sat at her desk looking out the window at the cloudy gray sky. "Im at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you-" She began before Mr. Leaighn cut the class off with telling them that the project was due next Wendsday.
The galaxy haired girl's head snapped forward at those words, "Shit," she whispered to herself. Luna looked back at her, "You need notes, or do ya need to know what the project is?" The white haired teen asked Nova with a slight smile. Nova just nodded her head as a "Yes" so Luna turned back around and scribbled down what the project was on a peice of paper, then slipped it onto Nova's desk without turning around. "Thanks.." She whispered to the white haired beauty. Nova slipped the paper into her pocket right as Mr. Leaighn announced to the class that they were all dismissed; she slipped her galaxy backpack over her shoulder and walked out of Science-101 with her head down.
"Hey, freak!" Chided Eathan, her main bully at the school. Not responding she began to speed-walk to her locker to retrieve the needed books for third period. "Hey, freak I'm talking to you!" Eathan yelled as he jogged after her, pushing people out of his way as he did so. When the tall boy caught up to Nova he pushed her into the lockers and held her in that spot. "What do you want with me?" She mummbled, struggling to get free of his grasp. "I want what any mate wants, for his mate to love him!" He growled out before he was thrown off of Nova so that she dropped to the floor.
Looking over in the direction that Eathan was thrown, she saw someone with white hair, straddling Eathan's waist throwing punches at and around his face. "Luna?" Nova whispered as Luna was the only person in school other than some teachers that had white hair. "Wow, that girl can throw a punch!" Said one of Nova's classmates on awe, other remarks were heard, most in awe, though some trying to stop her.
"Ms. Ulrak! Get off of that student this instant!" Cried Mr. Weaver the Guidance Counselor. Luna didn't listen however, and kept beating Eathan to a pulp. It felt as though time had Slown down for Nova as she stood up slowly using the lockers for support, and stumbling towards the brawl. Vaguely, Nova heard the white haired werewolf growling to Eathan "Not... Yours..." Confused, Nova walked forward and pushed Luna off of her bully. "Stop! I don't need protecting! I'm not some little kid that needs protection from the big bad world! And in any case I am nothing to you! I'm nothing to anyone! Why do you even care about what happens to me?!" Nova yelled, a tinge of hatred in her voice, as she stood over looked down at Luna.
Luna had a terrified and hurt look on her face. Nova then turned and ran down the hallway, tears streaming down her cheeks. Bursting out of the doors into the court yard, Nova ran underneath the bleachers and cried her eyes out. Just then she realized that her ears were exposed, she began to cry even more now that anyone could see that she wasn't exactly human, meaning that she was indeed adopted.
As the rain began to sprinkle down from the clouds she smiled, for the odd feeling rain gave her. She shrugged her backpack off of her shoulder and pulled out her extra beanie that she kept for situations like the one she was in right this minute. Tugging the black beanie over her ears she threw her bag back over her shoulder and walked to the forest behind the school. Though smiling she was still sobbing slightly, a few feet into the woods she set her bag down and took the beanie off, for she had only put it back on to walk across the court yard. Wanting to run through the trees she began to shift into her fox form, the loud cracks of her bones and cries of pain were drowned out by the rain as it began to get harder.
Her teeth were replaced by fangs and her nails replaced with claws. Fur began to grow all over her body and she sat up to catch her breath. Turning sixteen only three months ago, she was still new to the whole 'Shifting' thing, it still hurt like hell but for her it was slightly enjoyable. Having caught her breath, Nova stood up on all fours and began booking it through the forest. "Nova! Where the hell are you?!" Orion asked through their mind link. Nova growled back a response that her friend knew all to well. "Eathan shall never touch you, AGAIN!" Orion screamed back, "Luna took care of him already." Nova replied to the kitten shifter.
"So? That doesn't mean I can't deal that dirtbag some damage!" Orion exclaimed to the fox shifter before she cut the mind link. Nova closed her eyes to just feel the wind in her fur, but when she opened her eyes again she saw a man holding a net infront of her. She skidded to a halt and turned slipping on the muddy ground and running back the way she came. Scared of being captured, she ran faster than she ever had; it took her ten minutes to get back so she took the small chance of being seen or even caught by bounty hunters, and shifted back into her human form and grabbing her bag and pulling out her extra clothes since she was completely naked due to her clothes ripping or shredding when she shifted. Getting dressed quickly, she tugged the beanie back on for the third time that day, and threw her bag over her shoulder. She left the forest right as the man was about to catch 'The fox' only to see Nova walking away from the trees. "Hey lady! Do ya know where a orange fox is?" He called after her.
The galaxy haired girl turned around and simply said "Nope," and resumed walking to her house as the last bell of school for Wendsday rang.
