“That’s what you think. And no, you may not be afraid. I’m fine with that. But if you hurt my sister…if you do anything to cause her any soft pain. You’ll wish to be oceans away from this forest.” Chire’s eyes got dangerously dark, his voice deepening to a deep growl as his wolf showed through more than his human side.
He stood and stretched “I’d advise you get out of here before moonrise vampire. More wolves will be here than normal and they’re not as merciful as me or Val. They’d tear you to part in a second. And believe me. You don’t want to fight any of them.”
"trust me, I don't want to hurt her. That's the last thing I would ever want to do" he shrugs seemingly taking his words as a grain of salt. But it was obvious he didn't.
"I wasn't planning on staying here anyway" he says pushing himself off of the tree carelessly and unloaded by his threat. "you can have your play area your yourselves. Just don't come near me or my family and you'll be fine" he says turning away. "I would like to talk to Val soon. If that's okay with you that is" he asks trying to be as polite as possible though sounding more mean and condecending than anything.
(PROGRESS)
(YUS!)
“I should say the same thing about you and my family.” He leaned back against a tree, half his figure covered by shadows. “Thought you didn’t care where she wAs?” He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m serious about getting out of here by moonrise. The other alphas aren’t as merciful as I am with your kind.”
Val had ran back home looking for Chire. When she couldn’t find him, she changed for the night, a teal blue dress with black accents. It fit snuggly around her top and flared out at the waist. She paired it with black knee high boots and let her hair fall in waves. She wore little to no makeup, only rimming her eyes with black eyeliner to make the amber stand out more. At this point she looked like Alice from Alice’s adventures in wonderland. Perfect, just look she was going for. she trotted around the forest A bit before heading back to lake and studying her notes from class, perched up on rocks near the lake bed
"as you've said" he rolled his eyes.
"you don't have to say it twice. I'll be out of here soon" Sighing, Min-Hyuk pushed himself off panther tree and returned an annoyed look. "I'll ask you again only one more time okay?" he says obviously a bit aggravated. He never liked being nagged.
"now I'll get out, but I need to talk to Val first. Can I do that without you coming at my throat or what?" he raised an eyebrow.
(sorry it's short)
(also fun random fact: Mins a sucker for cute girls in a dress or a skirt. No he's not a pervert, he just thinks they look really nice and adorable)
(Aw!)
Chire sighed and nodded “go ahead. She should be ready for tonight and hanging out at the lake.” He said, shifting and walking off to the forest.
Once done with her school work, Val started to play music without the headphones in, just loud enough to be hear from the lake. She jumped down from the rock, landing in a crouch with on hand on the ground to stabilize herself. She stood slowly and walked around the perimeter of the lake, listening to the music on her phone.
“i’ve lost my goddamn mind, it happens all the time~” she sang along, tilting her head up to the sky
With his permission, he let out a small smile of triumph for whatever reason. He would have done it anyway. But he was trying his hardest to be polite.
"man they stink" he says rolling his eyes as he made his way over to the river. Perking up a small bit when he heard some familiar music.
Passing a tree he could have sworn he saw an angel and he was getting dragged down to hell before he even died. Because there was no way he was going to go to heaven.
Upon further inspection, he stopped in his tracks only to realize it was Val.
"holy shit" he says under his breath as he stayed as quiet as a mouse, watching the sight. Her dress, her hair, her face, her movements and her voice. Oh man oh man he fell hard and hit his face on the rocks. Now you may think I meant figuratively, which yes I did. But also… He did fall.
As he stepped forward into the small clearing along the bank he tripped on what appeared to be nothing and face planted in the gravel and leaves. "ow~" he whined quietly, not leaving his spot. He's decided this was where he dies.
take me now. It'll be better than the embarrassment I'll have to go through in a second
(he's too starstrucken to see where he was going :3)
(Aw my gawd this baby!!!!)
Val spun around quickly upon hearing the thud if a fall. Mid-spin she shifted and crouched down, ready to attack anything that moved. Teeth bared and with a low growl, she scanned the area for danger. She knew a few of the Beta’s loved to play their sick games with her, taunting and teasing, all usually going going uncomfortably overboard. To hell with formalities, it was the last time any of them would dare tease her in her own home. She stood and stalked closer to where she heard the fall, surprised to see that it wasn’t another wolf but a boy. A very familiar one. Rolling her eyes and releasing a breath through her nose, Val nudged his head and shoulder, occasionally breathing in his scent. Backing up to let him get up, Val sat down with her tail neatly across her paws, waiting patiently and very much amused.
(Agh, he’s a clutz)
Burying his head in his arms for a few seconds before sitting up, his eyes still closed as he tried to keep his composure. Guess he wasnt going to hell today. Dammit.
Letting out a breath, trying not to turn away and hide from his complete and utter embarrassment, he stood and looked at the wolf. “You didnt see anything” he says stubbornly, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Just….ignore that. I came here to talk to you, so can you um” he gestured to her….body hoping she would get the memo and shift back.
(Sorry its short)
(It’s all good!)
Val arched an eyebrow before rolling her eyes and back up a bit more to shift. When back to normal she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Min.
“Oh you’re not going to stop hearing about this until the end of the year.” She teased, a rueful smirk crossing her features. She walked off towards the lake again “what do you need to talk about?” She asked over her shoulder, throwing her phone in the bag and sitting down on the rocks, legs dangling over the edge. “Chire let you through I’m assuming? You smell like him, surprised he didn’t mistake you as food.”
He only let out a soft chuckle at her comment, though full of fear making his knees shake. He wasnt going to be able to live this down was he?
“Well yes he did, and i need to be gone before moonrise. Though I’m not stupid. I knew that” he says stepping with her before sitting down beside Val, still processing how stunning she looked.
“Even without his permission i would have gotten to you. I’m no pussy” he says leaning back, running his hands through his hair and looking to the side at her. Man, he wasnt going to be able to get over her.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he turned back to the river, forcing himself not to look at her.
“Anyway, i came here to…” he paused, swallowing his pride. Which was about as big as a boulder.
“Well, I’m sorry” he crossed his arm, pouting as he looked away, his face growing red.
“I didnt mean to come across mean…to you or anything. I just got a bit defensive and I’m sorry” he turned back to the lake, trying to hide his red face.
”man, sucking it up is a lot harder than i thought it would be. I hate it” he thought to himself as he waited for her reply, almost not wanting her to reply. Maybe she would change the subject?
No, he wasnt going to wimp out. No changing the subject!!!
Unless she wanted to of course (eye shift eye shift)
Val laughed softly “wow, this must be a new all time low for ya, huh eddy? Apologizing to a dog…never thought that’d happen.” She looked down at the lake below before flicking her amber gaze to his features, smirking as she saw his slight blush. “I think that’s why he ultimately let you go, he knew you’d go anyways.” She mused, straightening and resting her head on her shoulder as she propped her handsome behind her. “You don’t have to apologies Min. I get why you said what you said. It’s okay, really.” She offered a reassuring smiled.
He listened, leaning over and fiddling with his pale thumbs.
Sitting back and looking at her. “I wasnt asking for your forgiveness” he says turning back around, throwing a rock into the water. Feeling still a bit bad for being hostile, he took in a deep breath. “You look nice” he mumbled as he leaned back as well. “That was a compliment by the way” he says, thinking it was important to mention since he never compliments people, simply stating facts about them.
His heart beat hard against his chest whilst complimenting her, hoping for her to say something.
She shrugged and watched as the rock skipped across the water "I'm fairly certain 'I'm sorry' warrants some ask of forgiveness from the person it was directed to, Min. Either way, you don't have to be sorry, I get my occasional dig in sometimes so I think we're equal at the moment." she said, blushing and looking away when he complimented her, finding it odd that he had to specify that it was a complement. "Uhm, thanks. We have meeting with all the surrounding alpha's today so I take it as an excuse to dress fancy." she blushed even more, thinking the reasoning pathetic. She brought her kneed up to her chest and buried her head in her arms
He tried his best to distract himself by finding rocks but every time he skipped them he missed and they sunk down to the bottom of the river. How was he supposed to react to that? Was she embarrassed? It was quite cute, but he tried not to focus on it.
Pulling his feet up to the rock and sitting criss cross, he leaned forward, tilting his head a bit. "I like it. And that sounds like a good reasoning to me. Though you should do that more often. Just my opinion though, you don't have to follow it" he says looking at her, hoping she would pop her head out of hiding.
"I don't think I'd be able to handle all the stares from walking into school with a dress like this on every single day." She said, peeking over her arms to look at him. "Plus I don't have that many dresses, only five so I think people would start noticing. I don't think I need that much more attention." she shuddered at the though and cracked a slight smile, feeling more comfortable as the embarrassment faded. "maybe I will, for a school dance or something. you do have those, right? school dances, this isn't some strange school that prohibits students from having fun right?"
"I didn't mean all dresses. Skirts are fine too. They're just cute I guess" he shrugged, hoping she didn't take that as seeing him as a pervert. He would cry. Just kidding, he bottles up everything too much for that to happen.
"and yes, we do have school dances. None that I've ever gone to. I've never liked dances in the first place" he says remembering the night hennas turned. Shaking his thoughts, he looked back at her.
"it's next month around the 15 I think. I thought about telling you, but I didn't know if you already knew or not."
she tilted her head with a questioning look, "alright….that broadens my wardrobe a bit….I guess?" she perked up at the mention of a near by dance "no, I didn't….is it themed? or just a generic dance that turns into a high school raid club after 8:00?" she smiled to herself, wondering why all dances she'd heard about sem more like night clubs than actual dances. Her brother went to one before, he had told her that everyone was so close together that a room full of kids turned into half once they were all condense. He had also told her about the music, glaringly loud that you'd have to literally scream to talk to the person beside you.
He let out a small laugh and shook his head. "our school dances are nice. My sister and her boyfriend go to them every year. Though this would be the first time they would go as a couple" he says thinking about it for a second more before resuming his conversation. "they've decided on a theme, but I can't remember what it is. You can go ask the party planning committee if you'd like. I mean, I can to if you don't want to yourself of course. But um" he paused, trying his best not to be awkward…and failing "nevermind. I can ask them" he says with a small chuckle. "have you ever been to a dance?"
"aw, that cute. Maybe I'll see them if I go." she said with a shrug. "We have a party planning committee? I didn't even know that was a thing…." she turned her gaze back to Min as he stumbled over his words "it's okay, I'll ask if all your sentences are gonna come out like that." she teased, patting his shoulder in condolence "Nope, these are the closest thing I get to dances. Plus, most dancing, isn't really dancing…..most of it's weird touching and trying to get away…" she shook her head in disgust "that's why i hang out here most of the night, no one dares come looking and i can make a quick getaway if I'm surrounded."
Tensing up a bit when she touched him, but quickly forced himself to relax, hoping not to make her uncomfortable. It was a thing he naturally did whenever he was touched. Hopefully she hadn't noticed the weird behavior, as well as all of his others.
"I don't normally talk like this.. It's just-" he paused, obviously joking something in. No, he wasn't about to say he was nervous around her or anything. She was gorgeous yes. Absolutely stunning and beautiful and sweet a funny with a little bit of sass which he found adorable yet somehow frightening at the same time. But he wasn't nervous around her! Right?
Wrong.
"nevermind. You can if you'd like" he says burying his face in his knees when he pulled them up to his chest. It was slowly getting darker and darker. He knew he would have to leave, but he didn't want to. Of course he wouldn't. He was with Val after all.
Looking at her with a concerned look as she talked about the "dances" he felt a bit protective, but knew he couldn't do anything about it. She knew how to handle it so he would let her. The pack wouldn't actually hurt her would they?
No, that was none of his business.
Val still found his behavior a bit weird, did she really effect him that much? or was he just not used to her yet? she didn't want to make him uncomfortable so she said nothing. After a while, she perked up and grabbed his should, twisting around and sniffing the air. "get down, someone's here." she said quietly, not waiting for him to do as told, only shifting and jumping off the rock. She let out a low bark followed by a growl as a figure emerged from the darkness. A thinning grey wolf with light amber eyes, her gait staggered as she padded forward. Though her stride was off, she walked with the confidence of any trained beta, possibly even a beta.
He was stuck in his little butterfly swarm of thoughts as they slowly fled down to his stomach to even realize she was a bit quieter.
He wondered what she thought of him, but he would never ask. They were just friends right now and he didn't think they'd form into anything more. Well-not that he wanted them to of course!
(he's just a bit dense ^3^)
Thrown completely off guard when she grabbed his shoulder. His eyes widened when she made him turn to her and his mind went to all sorts of places and possibilities in that one second before he heard her.
Immediately listening to her, he ducked down and hid, though of course he didn't want to. He didn't dare turn around and look. No, he just sat and listened hard.
Though his curiosity got the best of him, he peeked a tiny bit quickly to see another wolf before poking his head back down out of view before the wolf could see.
What was happening? Was Tiana friend? She seemed too hostile to be a friend with Val, but he was her friend and he was hostile like 90 % of the time, so he wasn't one to judge.
(he dense like poundcake…but we love him anyways!)
Val immediately relaxed upon being the other wolf and trotted up to her happily, nudging her head with the other's and trotting in a small circle. The other she-wolf let out a rubbling bark and smiled at Val. She let out a series of barks and shifted "Min, it's alright!" she called, walking with the older wold until they were at the base of the rock. The she-wold shifted into an older lady, dark hair like vals though her complexion was clear and her green eyes right. "Young vampire, a wold can smell you a mile away. there's no need to hide. I'm not going to hurt you with my granddaughter around. Especially since she seems to approve of you being here." she explained both with gentleness and authority.
(YES)
(I'm calling him poundcake now. Thank you)
Hesitantly, he slipped out from the rock confidently, a natural glare on his face. "I wasn't scared. She just told me to get down so I did" he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms underneath his chest.
With more than one wolf around him at a time, he felt rather threatened. He hated the feeling his gut gave him. Either be hostile and fight or run away. But of course he wasn't a wuss, so he stood his ground confidently. Even though it was an older woman, he knew they were still a threat. Not as much as the younger ones, but they have experience.
He was a bit happy to hear she approved of him, as he still didn't quite know how Val felt about him. He still said nothing more, afraid something meaner than he thought would come out. And he was right to. He stuck a bit closer to Val, feeling more comfortable than out in the open clearing. Though he still had his confidence like none other
“Min, this is our grandmother, Zilia. She used to be Female Alpha of the pack before mom and dad got married. “Zizi, this is Min-Hyuk, the one from my chem class.”
Zilia nodded her head in acknowledgement “finally nice to meet the boy Val has been talking so much about.” She said, voice raspy but still held warmth. She studied Min for a bit, green eyes bright. “You radiate confidence and non-chalance yet when around her, you calm down. You let your guard drop just the tiniest bit and allow peace to resonate with that confidence.”
Val tilted her head slightly in confusion before looking over at Min, hoping he’d understand what her grandmother was saying
Turning a bit red when she mentioned the fact that Val's apparently talked about him a lot to her pack, though he tried his best to ignore it.
As the woman talked he looked at her in pure confusion, though knowing exactly what she was saying. Why she was saying it was a mystery to him.
Looking over to Val when she was done he shrugged. "yeah, and?" he says keeping his arms tightly crossed. How this woman was completely right freaked him out a bit along with her presence alone. But he didn't dare do anything. He would have most likely attacked if Val weren't here, as he had no idea who this wolf was if she wasn't introduced so kindly to him.
Holding his posture of confidence and strength, sure not to show any weakness he held eyes with the wolf once again. "is your grandma a shrink or Somethin?" he mumbled leaning over to Val, not breaking eyecontact with the woman.
(she freaked the boy out but he needs it XD)
(I love this lady)
(XDXD aw thanks!)
"Young man, I can here you. To answer your question, no, I'm not a shrink. I just pick on small movements and emotions. Call it a sixth sense if you will." She said with a small smile, leading them to the rock Val's things her on. "Calm yourself vampire, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm too old to fight anymore, plus I've had my fair share of scrimmages with your kind in the past. So much so that I hold nothing against your kind anymore." She sat down on a lower rock, Val walking over to ease her down on the rock and sat beside her, waving min over to sit beside her
"I'm the last wolf you should be concerned about Min, unless of course when Val is involved. But I'm sure Chire has explained that very thoroughly."
He was impressed by her, though not surprised one bit. For a werewolf to have fought plenty of vampires. She must have been incredibly strong.
Still tense, he sat down beside Val, his arm touching hers and shocking him for a second before he leaned away and listened to the woman.
He wasn't easily tricked and so he still had his suspicion about her, but he relaxed a tiny bit.
"he did" Min says with a nod, deciding to hold back a comment along with many others during the time she talked.
About to ask why she came here, though remembering the fact that Vals her granddaughter and she probably just wanted to see her.
(sorry he's not saying much. I don't really know anything he would say other than stay quite for this post in order to actually stay in his character. If that makes sense)
