Wolf Child - HAITUS

*Extra* Behind the Scenes: 1-3

Here's an extra that I had fun making. Behind the Scenes, if you will for Chapters One, Two and Three. It mildly corresponds with the story, little drabbles and thoughts about our characters.

Warning: Lots of spoilers. The characters are literally just let loose to be themselves while the writer takes her break.

Don't like- then don't read. Someone ought to laugh at this, some ought to wonder, to learn, or simple enjoy, and if that's only me, I remain happy.

After: Chapter One: Grouchy.

Isabella folds her arms, glaring at the infant in front of her. She lifts her eyes to the ceiling, and mutters, "Why me? Why can't he do it?"

And she points to a complete stranger in the corner, a man who has not yet been introduced into the book. He shrugs, and stays darkened. She glares at him once more, "He better not be my love interest- I'm telling you, I don't do romance."

The man face-palms, and releases a sigh. He shoves his hands into his pockets, and dreads the moment where he has to communicate with this woman in the book.

...

Somewhere, far away. A boy holds his head in his hands, "Why do I have the sudden fear that I'm going to fail a test?"

Character Creation: Leo

The shadowed man looks around the room, he frowns at the bright light in the corner, he opens his mouth, but since his voice isn't decided yet, he is silent. He waves a hand- an idea fresh out of creation, what shall he look like?

He already has a personality in set- if the writer tries to squeeze him into a mold, he will go gently, and try- then retaliate. The writers wishes to make him have curly hair, he shrugs. The writer wishes to make him have yellow hair- he shakes his head.

He knows what he looks like, and he knows he is not a yellow headed man. And the writer wonders, who is in charge, the character? Or her?

The man, Leo, is kicking off his shoes. Apparently he doesn't like shoes. The writer steps back, and let him form himself.

It isn't until he's combing his hair does the writer realize, that she does not create the story. She only provides a window to others.

Leo nods in response- and proceeds to clear his throat in an attempt to speak. He's found his voice, he's ready to join the book. The writer marvels. Who expected he's be so... drab?

Leo completely ignored the insult, and the writer finds out that he and Isabella will but heads. That's unnecessary drama in the book...

After: Chapter Two: Invasion

Isabella rubs her eyes with her palm, "I swear- it couldn't wait until after the shower? This better be worth it! And Eclipse ought to learn some manners- pulling hair is not cool."

Isabella needs to realize that it's her responsibility to train the wolf child, not the writer's.

"Great,"

Character Creation: Ashna

She's usually not this bold, but she's been written before. She knows what she did, she knows what she does, and it's only the future that is daunting for her. She comes with a partner- and the writer has no choice but to stand there- feeling utterly confused. Why can't the characters stay... still?

After Chapter Three: Angel in a Sari

Isabella and Ashna are deeply involved in a clapping game, "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man."

Eclipse listens and laughs along on the bed- a perfectly human child.

Leo has his mouth in his palm, and cringes when Isabella makes a horrible imitation of rolling a cake. It makes sense that Ashna is skilled at it. The Indian girl looks terrified- distracting herself in the game instead of the baby on the bed.

Leo looks at the camera, and downs his head. He is not prepared to enter this book- and he worries aloud about his dearest childhood friend joining this girl's group when Ashna still isn't ready.

Isabella shoots her head up, "Joins who now? Who joins us?"

Leo is grateful he's unable to speak, so he stays silent. Ashna goes silent, and mutters almost sadly, "My rival..."

Leo holds up a hand, waving it quickly. Ashna sighs, and turns her attention to Eclipse, "I haven't forgotten Leo... no spoilers." She shivers, and hugs herself, "Stay calm..."

"Who's joining us? Didn't we have enough new characters already?" Isabella stands up and demands attention, "There's Eclipse and Ashna- and that milkman we've never seen... wait, are you the milkman?"

Leo wishes he were the milkman- he'd give her the scare of her life if he were. And if Leo were the milkman, he'd stick around just a little bit, maybe aid this woman, or comfort the concerned Ashna. He pushes his hands deeper into his pockets, waiting for the cue to enter the story.

Isabella continues, undeterred, "We even have that dream kid yet, the one from... wait, I didn't see what he looks like... is that why he's not here?"

Leo almost pities her- she forgets that this is a werewolf story, and wolves come in packs. And he wonders, just how many spoilers are he allowed to give?

Character Creation: Morgana

The woman stands as bright as daylight, and she smirks like a victor, "I'm about to make their lives a living hell."

Somewhere in the background, Leo prepares for the worst. He nervously smiles at the woman, and gives her a thumb's up. Why the writer decided to bring her in so early is beyond Leo- Ashna and Morgana never get along. Leo thinks the writer just wants drama.

Leo snaps his head up, momentarily confused. Morgana chuckles, and she says almost haughtily, "I get to break the rules- I'm a badas-ack!"

Her voice is suspended. No characters are allowed to speak before their book debut. Not even badass ones. Leo pats her shoulder, but he grins when she tries to flip off the screen, but ends up with her index and middle fingers glued together. She isn't amused- but Ashna is giggling her head off in a corner.
