Pebble

Chapter 5 (Caven}

Watching our Pebble is amazing. She is absolutely sure of herself. I wish I had been in Hermans position watching her in action with Tiffany. Tiffany is one person I did not think I would have to deal with. She has hit on each of us and talk around the guys at work, she has slept with everyone there not to mention probably half the clients that the resort will cater to. She is a spoiled little rich girl who is used to getting her own way. I have a feeling she will not get that with our employers.

Pebble on the other hand is perfect. I see no flaws in her beautiful green eyes and sable hair. Her freckles stand out the most to me and how she crinkles her nose when she dislikes something. We want to give her a life she never had. Hell, we never had either, but it is Pebble that we want to impress and help and be there for.

I can taste the perfume in the air and since Tiffany nearby. She has the nastiest tasting perfume. Even in my human form, my sense of taste is stronger than my sense of smell. Looking over at my brothers, I can tell they sense her as well.

"Pebs," says Herman, "let's go ahead and go inside shall we?" He asks her slowly guiding her over to the Restaurant. I don't think she even realizes how easily we can guide her.

Once inside we are shown to a booth. "The food smells amazing." She says. We order and I take the time to try and find out about her.

"So, where are you from. You have a southern accent." I ask

"Austin Texas, what about y'all?" She asks

"Well, we were living in San Diego, California. Lost our jobs but heard through the grapevine about this amazing town of Silver Springs. The only thing they're really wasn't a lot of jobs. Once everyone found out we were shifters we really haven't had any problems with food or a place to live. But like we told you already it is easier to eat and just stay in the forest as our animals." I told her.

"Surviving is the key to it all," She says, "But, I did things in Austin I would never do here. I learned to hustle for money. When it started it was staying under the radar. Unfortunately, Maggie, just can't seem to keep me out of trouble." She says, then her shoulders slumped and I knew we were getting somewhere touchy.

"Maggie?" Edward says, "Who is that and we be happy to get some revenge for you."

"NO!," she shouts then claps a hand over her mouth, "Maggie is my animal she is my animal," she says

"Wait, you name your animal?" States Herman.

"Well, Yes don't you?" she askes like we are stupid.

"No, they are us. We are the same." I tell her.

"Are you telling me you cannot control your animal?" Edward asks with concern.

"I can control when to shift but I take a back seat when she is in control. Most of the time I blackout and don't even know what is going on. That's when I get in trouble because she has stolen something."

"You don't remember?" That is really strange. We all remember what we do in our animal form. She has given it a completely different name and personality.

"Pebbles," Herman says placing his hand under her chin so she will look straight at him. Mr. Smooth move. "You need to learn to control our animal. Even Supernatural courts will not let it be an excuse when illegal things happen."

She looks at us and asks, "How? It's not like I had anyone to show me. I have pretty much learned everything on my own."

"We are going to help Princess." Says Edward putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh, I.. Guess." she looked at the table picking at nothing. "Why? Why would three complete strangers help me? You don't know me or owe me for that matter. So Why?"

"Doll, remember we are your mates. We are here for you." Caven reaches over to take her hands. She then pulls away and says something under her voice. I think it's, "Verdict is still out on that. Stupid men." But I could be wrong. I hope.

"Exactly how are ar mouse a, snake going and a frog going to help a Bird? She asks?" With a little more oomph than I was expecting.

Right about then we hear the shrill nasal voice of Tiffany. Exactly what we were trying to avoid.

"Hello, Guys." She says sashaying over to our table attempting and failing, to look sexy at all. "There is a party tonight. You are all invited. Well not all." She says running her hands through my hair, staring daggers at Pebble. I remove her hands from my hair, she's like a damn wall-crawler toys that stick to everything. "We have other plans with OUR GIRL," I tell her, but thanks anyway."

I wonder if she is somehow part demon because I swear her eyes are turning red right now. A really sexy Vampire comes over to the table. I glance at Pebbles and, is that jealousy I see. She takes a deep breath when the woman nudges over Tiffany.

"Did I here them call you Pebble?" She asks our girl.

Pebble nods yes, but she looks like she is ready to bolt.

"Good," the Vampire puts her hand on the back of the seat near Herman, and Pebbles eyes go wide then narrows. Oh, she is jealous, she's just not ready to admit it yet. We are going to have fun with that. I place my hand on her knee and she relaxes.

"Well Sweety, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a party tonight here. My Man Bob over there said that you and your men could come if you would like." She says looking at Tiffany, "And Honey this is an exclusive party, to that excludes you." She pats Tiffany on the cheek and starts to walk away. "I'm Sapphire by the way. Nice to meet you kid.

Tiffany Huffed and walked out. "Trashy place anyway,"

Pebble got up and chased after Sapphire.

"Guys, we need to tell her our secret," I tell my brothers. Herman bristles and Edward huffs and pouts.

"It's going to scare the Princess. Our Princes is skittish, also too damn independent." Edward whisper shouts. "I just don't think it's a good idea."

"I agree with Eddy, I don't want to scare her off," Herman says nodding his head.

"But she is our mate. She will understand. She may not even know how odd it is. She has not truly been around Supernaturals." I try to convince them.

Herman stands up and starts toward where Pebble went, "No. Majority rules." He says with a finality that really greats on me. Just like that, I'm voted down. But I don't like it one bit. We can help her in more ways than she thinks.
