There RavenWolf was, standing alone. She stood in the back of the classroom, but she was a child in the memory. The entire classroom was filled with laughter and chatter, but RavenWolf stood in the midst of it, quiet and alone. Her eyes were dull, her mouth was like it was sown shut.
It was strange seeing the whole world pass in front of her with such vibrancy, all while she stood there. On the 'plus' side, she wasn't engaging in any of the drama that might have arisen- like scribbling on someone's paper for revenge or kicking someone too hard. It was kind of nice just standing back and watching things pass by and life go on, RavenWolf thought at the time. RavenWolf had long before convinced herself the she preferred being alone.
She often said to herself in encouragement, 'Yeah. I want to be alone. There's no one I like better than me, so I ought to spend more time with myself!' But there was a certain bitterness that, coupled with being alone and lonely. She didn't realize it at that moment. And even after that moment, her father, mother, siblings... There was no one to turn to. She was so lonely.
But one day her mother took her to her grandmother's house. It was only those two at the house, her grandmother was sick at the time and very old. The house was old too, a person in living near had full custody of the house too. But anyway, the two females entered the house. They went straight to RavenWolf's grandmother's room, it wasn't very far because the house was small.
In the room they entered, there was RavenWolf's grandmother. Withering in her own despair, her grandmother didn't move. It was quite pitiful, seeing the woman lay in her own filth. The woman didn't make a sound while RavenWolf's mother walk towards her own mother. RavenWolf left the room later on, she walked her way to the door. Dodging dogs when she made her way outside of the house, she started to explore the outside.
She started on her right, though there was huge grass in front of her, she continued on. It was an three hours later, a mile away from RavenWolf's grandmother's house, RavenWolf found herself in front of a huge mansion. It was filled with dust, but very clean. The lights were dim, it was a creepy sight but RavenWolf handled it.
Once she realized what the time was, she ran all the way back to her mother.
*Memory over*
'I had the opportunity to help them. Though... Would I?' RavenWolf thought. She wanted to, but she wasn't sure if that was the best idea. After all, five demons and a four girls in the house wasn't exactly the living arrangement that RavenWolf had imagined when they first moved in. There was the matter of making sure no one found out about their powers. Thing about them as lab rats made RebleWolf, WolfHeart, and WolfClaw's stomach queasy. The thought wouldn't stay away from them. And even if they passed for human, how would they, the girls, explain having guys living in the same house as them.... Imagine if friends came over, they would practically think they were a part of a harem or something.
Imagine if their parents came over, they would be mad or just simply, faint.Who knows what they're fathers or mothers would do. They would probably have them arrested on the spot. The decision was hard.
'Maybe I should have written out the a pros and cons list before actually having to make the decision...' RavenWolf thought, she mentally face-palmed but she felt some sort of joy form in her chest. She felt happy to give them help, it was a weird feeling. But RavenWolf was used to it, as weird as that sounded. Clenching her hands into fists, she strengthened her resolve to speak up.
"Well, you could-" She stopped herself, she had been so blunt before... But now, she was afraid to speak her mind.
"What was that, lovely lady?" Erik asked, giving a teasing smile.
"That is, uh mm..." RavenWolf mumbled, her friends looked at her. Slightly surprised by how she spoke, such a weird mood change.
"Spit it out already!" Sam said, he gave a bored expression. RavenWolf bit her lip at what he said.
"You could stay with us, here, if you's like..." She trailed off, her friends looked shocked. , her face was as if it was drained of color. WolfHeart's eyes went wide and gave a different than RebleWolf. WolfClaw gave a , almost like she was leaning away from RavenWolf.
as soon as she finished her sentence, the room became still and the girls still gave their shocked expressions. RavenWolf wasn't exactly sure what went through their heads from her words. The girls slowly recovered, though the silence in the air cute like a sharp knife until she finally spoke up once more.
"It seemed like you all needed a place to stay, and, well, we just moved into this giant house, so it seemed like it made sense. Plus, there's a lot of empty rooms and it would be nice not to be alone with my friends." RavenWolf added, she held her hands to her chest, making a . RavenWolf didn't like how it was still silent, it slightly freaked her out, so she decided to add something else.
"If you would like to stay here, though, there are three things that I need all of you to follow. My friends may add a new rule if they want, but I am only going to say this." RavenWolf decided to get dominance, she flipped the switch and decided to get her confidence back. "First of all, you can't use your powers or deliberately do something that might harm me, my friends, or any guests that are here. Do anything you want with enemies too."
"That sounds reasonable." Damien said.
"Second, you have to help me with any errands around the house. This place is huge, I can't do everything by myself."
"That is a generous offer, miss RavenWolf. Are you sure that would be okay? We don't wish to burden you any more than we already have." James stated, the girls looked at RavenWolf at the same time.
'WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!?!?' RebleWolf thought, she kept calm on the outside though.
"It's alright, really. I mean, we just started living here so we would appreciate some help around the house." RavenWolf said.
"A wonderful idea! we'll live here and train while helping you with the house! Servants for the lovely princess!" Erik said happily, he held his hand together and closed his eyes. He also gave a charming smile.
"What?! Are you serious?!" Sam asked, his expression dark.
"Shhh, be quiet, Sam! I haven't slept in a bed for days!!" Matthew whispered, it was loud enough for humans to hear.
"Heh..." Damien chuckled.
"Hey, if you have a problem with it... I'll give you a punishment!" RebleWolf said, giving a childish smile.
"Well, if you do have a problem with it, you don't have to do anything. I'm not going to force you." RavenWolf said. Sam had calmed down, he now seemed in on the idea. They all liked the ideas, except for the girls. They were going to have to get used to it.
It would be interesting having five guys and four girls in the same house, it would be RavenWolf and the boys cleaning the house (except for Sam, he isn't going to do anything.)
"Fine. But we're not staying here forever. Only until we can beat up that group of punks." Sam said, he had to keep up his 'tough guy' act.
'You have a pretty rotten attitude, I'm not 'digging' it...' RavenWolf thought, she kept herself from laughing but in the background... Damien had covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head towards the wall.
"i think that is a reasonable time limit for our stay." James said, he gave a warming smile. I made RebleWolf's heart 'skip a beat', her breath quickened too.
"Yes!! This is awesome!!" Matthew exclaimed.
"Also, beautiful, if you need a bed fellow..." Erik started, his attention directed towards WolfClaw. She blushed and looked away, Erik smiled at this reaction.
"Um..." WolfClaw muttered, she looked down at her hands.
"Erik. Knock it off." James said, giving him a stern look.
RavenWolf felt satisfied that they agreed, maybe it was because she wouldn't be alone with only her friends (considering their maturity).Maybe it was because they all needed help and RavenWolf's want to help people was fulfilled. She wasn't sure what it was.
"So what are we waiting for?! Let's celebrate and dig in!" Matthew excitedly said, making another childishly expression.
"Finally!! I'm starving!" Sam said, sighing. Instantly, Matthew and Sam began to stuff themselves with food on the table. The girls noticed James's eye twitching in irritation, the girls had to stop themselves from laughing.
"Really, you two?! You're both acting like pigs!" James said, clearly irritated. Kind of intimidating.
"Oh, let them have a little freedom, James. It's not like we're eaten recently either. I'm sure they've been starving." Erik said, his expression calm.
"still, that's no excuse for stuffing their faces like backyard swine." James said, he sighed. RebleWolf could hardly stop herself from laughing, she didn't though.
The girls took food for themselves. RebleWolf, a normal amount of food was taken. WolfHeart, a larger amount than a normal amount. WolfClaw, a slightly smaller amount than that of RebleWolf's food. RavenWolf, hardly got anything.
RebleWolf smiled before taking a piece of food that intrigued her and it was barely touched by the boys. It was green pasta with shrimp over it.
"Huh? What's this?" RebleWolf muttered, not taking her eyes off of it.
"That, miss RebleWolf, is a shrimp pesto dish. Pastas are my specialty, so I'm positive you'll enjoy it." James said, he gave an amused expression. RebleWolf twirled some around her fork and tried it. She could feel her senses open as her tastebuds practically melted in delight at the taste. It was creamy and savory, almost impossible to describe.
RavenWolf, sensing RebleWolf's delight, she took her own fork and stole some of RebleWolf's meal. No one noticed what she had done. RavenWolf tasted it, she gave a satisfied smile.
"This is amazing!" RebleWolf exclaimed, she looked up at James. James sat a chair away from her, on the left of RebleWolf.
"I'm glad you like it. At least someone here in the room has taste." James said, he looked at his brothers, kind of mockingly. Matthew and Sam glared at James before they continued to eat.
RebleWolf couldn't help but smile at the brotherly quarrel before eating the rest of the pasta on her plate. James seemed to hold high standards for his brothers, though it wasn't RebleWolf's (or the other girls) place to question why.
RavenWolf looked back at Damien, who had been silent the whole time. He was leaning against the far wall, moving his lips almost silently to the empty space beside him. Out of curiosity, RavenWolf looked the same way, she saw a small orb like thing there. She blinked, it seemed to disappear after that.
"It's nothing." Damien said. RavenWolf made a small humming noise, she looked back to see Damien looking at her with his normal, blank face. She couldn't help but stare back, feeling a warmness for in her chest. She gave an ensure look, but Damien gave a very small smile and closed his eye, returning to his thoughts.
