“Abraham!” Abigail ran after her brother when he took off in the snow.
Abraham ran faster, glancing back to see that his sister was gone. He looked around quickly, coming to a sliding halt. It was December, and Abraham was freezing, jacket or not. He held the Jasper dagger close, closing his eyes –listening for his sister.
The alpha looked up when he heard noise, sliding out of the way when Abigail jumped out of the tree. He smirked, “I thought you said you could get me in flesh?” Abraham lifted a smug brow, “gave up?”
Abigail circled him, mouth huffing out white smoke. She stopped moving, ear twitching slightly. Abigail stepped back slowly, confusing Abraham. “What is it –ow!” He groaned at the weight on his back, huffing when he realized it was Demetrius. “Deme…”
The small wolf crawled off him, running to his sister. He licked her a few times before turning back to Abraham.
Abraham rolled on his back, looking at his brother upside down. “Hey, Deme, I thought you did not want to come?”
Demetrius hopped over to him, rubbing their faces together. Abraham scratched behind his head, “so sweet, Deme.” He chuckled, rubbing his face back. “Thank you.”
Demetrius whined softly, crawling onto Abraham’s chest. Abigail growled at him and Abraham rolled his eyes, “it is done, Abi, and you cheated –hey!” He grabbed her paw, “do not change now, it is freezing.” He groaned, sitting up, “come on, Deme, let us go.”
Demetrius whined to be carried but Abraham set him down. “You can walk, you need to stretch any way.” He looked at his sister, “ready?”
She nodded, wiggling against his leg.
Abraham looked back when his brother stayed put, “oh come on.”
Demetrius whined louder, rolling onto his side when Abigail went to him.
“Deme,” He crossed his arms, “you are heavy. The faster we leave, the faster we get home.” Demetrius ignored him, swatting his sister away. “Demetrius, you are going to alert wolves, they will think you are in trouble when you are just being lazy.”
Demetrius howled as if he was wounded and Abraham grumbled. “Lazy, lazy, lazy –no!” He ran to his brother when he changed, “change back right now!”
Demetrius shook his head, shivering, “baba…”
“Baba is at home, Deme –Abigail!”
“Deme, change back.” She hugged herself, “it is so cold,” she laughed, “I love it!”
“You are both naked –could you please!” He removed his jacket, covering his brother, “Change back now, Demetrius!”
“No…” He touched the snow on the ground, “pretty.”
“No –ugh! See, and then when mama asks why I do not go training with you both –this, this is why!”
“Our skin will be okay, Abby.” Abigail smiled, rolling beside her twin. “We have thick skin.”
He bent down, “if I call baba, do you think it will be thick enough to deal with him?” Abigail frowned deeply, changing back. She flopped on top of her twin, keeping him warm. “Thank you –now you, Demetrius.”
