"Hey, who are you?" I could tell he wasn't trying to scare him off while still trying to establish the fact that we could hurt him if we wanted to. "I was gonna ask you the same question," he replied. "But since to beat me to it, I'm Eli. I'm just a seventeen-year-old kid out here alone. Y'all seem to be in the same situation." His southern accent was thick but definitely not South Carolinian. It sounded more like he was from Alabama or Mississippi. "True. For how long?" "Four weeks. I ran away because of...circumstances," he said, trailing off on the last word. "Prove to us you're not dangerous," Marcus threatened. "Prove to me you're not dangerous," Eli countered. "I don't even know your names." "Fine. I'm Marcus, that's Peyton, Luke, and Aaliyah," he answered, gesturing toward each of us as he spoke. I could tell he didn't trust the guy, but he seemed good enough. He hadn't said anything to make us distrust him, but he also hadn't said anything to make us trust him. "Look, dude, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm looking for something a friend told me about a few weeks ago. She said there was a whole network of teens out here, but there's a camp somewhere in Florida that gives them a place to stay. Secret, of course, and run by teens, but anyway, it seems safer than being out here and living off the land." "Wait, you mean there are more of us?" I asked. ☁ Three teenagers find themselves rejected by their families after they're all unexpectedly outed on the same night.

Flammable - Taming the Hellhound (bxb)
"Are you sure you want to do that?" I say with a smirk on my lips. Nothing these wolves do could hold me back. I'd slaughter the whole of them in the blink of an eye, sadistically enjoying every last second of it. Ignoring my mate, it was best to act like I hadn't even acknowledged it. As soon as I figure out how to escape this so called 'dungeon', I'm leaving him in the dust without turning back. The alpha turned to me, rage lighting a fire in his eyes. "Absolutely." I chuckled and caught the confused glances the wolves gave each other. "Then you're in for a wild ride, my friend." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damien Shuck, a 17 year old hellhound who some would consider a sadist. He lives for the death of others, fallen at his own blazing claws. He has lived off the grid for six years, ever since his family was killed by a group of supernatural hunters. Driven mad by his family's death and the brutal reality of life when you're constantly challenged and attacked by other supernaturals. He is the very last hellhound alive, and is constantly being hunted. No one knows who he is or what he looks like. The only thing they find is the trail of chaos, strife, and death he leaves in his paw prints. Axel Lyulph, son of Orion Lyulph, and future alpha of the Lyulph pack. Axel has it all, a supportive family, his best friend as his future beta, and one of the most popular students in Shadow Woods High School. He would be the happiest werewolf to ever live, if it were not for this relentless and anguishing feeling of not being good enough. He worries that if he doesn't meet his mate before he becomes alpha, he won't be able to provide enough for his pack. One day Damien crosses the wrong border, into the wrong pack, and finds himself in more of a struggle than he could have ever imagined.
Proud ~ a Seblos Fanfiction
He's been off since theater. Not saying much. "Seb, what's wrong?" I ask gently. "There's something I think I need to tell you," he answers meekly. I stop scrubbing the rose case with Windex and go to the edge of the stage. We sit together, our feet dangling off the edge. "I-I need to tell you about a lot of things," he starts. "Okay, I'm listening," I reply. Why am I so scared? When Carlos has a problem, he goes to Seb and Seb takes comfort in fixing them.

He sits by me. "You can't just let people hurt you all the time and then go forgive them like it's nothing!" "And why not?" I ask calmly. "B-because-" Carlos stutters. He looks away. "Because then..." "Seb's a good person. The best out of all of us," Big Red comments. I blush. "I don't know. I just always try my best to do the right thing." But at that moment, a thought hits me like a rock to the head. Keeping secrets from Carlos isn't the right thing. I need to tell him the truth. Soon.
