Intoxicating Nightmare (Open)

[Axel]

Emmett had to put a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. His buddy Joel had started to stand up, but had fallen right back down. What a clutz, slipping on the mud like that. It was so effing funny though. He didn't just fall down, but he fell down on top of Dezirae. That just made it a hundred times more funny. And not only that! He's fallen in just such a way that he'd ended with his lips pushed up against hers. Emmett bit his lip, desperately trying not to laugh. This was just too funny. Man. He'd come at just the right moment. He wouldn't miss this for the world. He thought about saying something, making a joke, but then he thought better of it.

[Dezirae]

Would simply blink, she hadn't realized what was going on until her eyes flung open. With force - which seemed like she was about to lift the truck she pushed him off her, not intending to hurt him but how could she now hur were powers were heightened during the rain - if this didn't tip him off that she was werewolf then he was slow. It was only one in this group that knew what she was and what her rank was. It was only an instant reaction to push him off. She didn't have it out for him. Its just this isn't what she expected.

Standing up looking at them both rain still pouring down on them she just looked to Emmett then Joel arms were crossed as she shook her head to them. Her honeys on alert this time, giving them a soft hue of glow about them as she looked around and headed twords the porch the rain would subside soon, and she needed to get dryer clothes in which she brought. She stood their and looked to them as if asking if they were going to come along into the house, that music was still playing in. She'd disappeared into the house and headed upstairs into one of the bed rooms. Where her clothes were located.

Of course if they followed her upstairs she'd slap them, as she undid her bathing suit top wrapping a towel around her and slipping of her shorts and bottoms. The rest of the towel fell around her, as she just plopped and layed on the bed, now that she was wrapped in a towel it was okay for them to come up. Her legs were crossed so nothing was going to be seen easily she just filtered back to the kiss and shook her head. What was he thinking. .

Suddenly, Joel felt himself being shoved into the air. Holy shit, that girl was strong. He was flung off her, losing his breath from the impact. He landed on the ground, rolling a little to break his fall. Okay, one thing was certain now. She couldn't be a human. No humans were strong enough to throw a werewolf off of them. So, if she wasn't a vampire and she wasn't a human, did that mean she was a wolf? It was the only thing that really seemed logical right now, unless she'd had some super adrenaline rush and gained inhuman strength.

Joel climbed to his feet slowly, watching as Dezirae disappeared back into the house. She hadn't even said anything, just got up and left. It somehow made him feel worse. How freaking embarrassing. Joel was really not having good luck with first impressions lately. He sighed, running a hand through his wet hair. The water was really coming down now, falling faster as the clouds thickened over head.

Joel cast a menacing glare at Emmett, and the expression 'if looks could kill' would have been very appropriate. "This isn't funny," he growled, hands clenching into fists. I mean, he could see how it might look funny. Him falling like he barely knew how to walk. That itself would be something most people would find funny. And then the accidental kiss. That was just the cherry on top of it all, wasn't it? Still, though. It irritated Joel the way Emmett was laughing. If they switched places right now, he doubted the younger male would still be laughing like he was.

He decided that it would probably be a good idea to apologize. He kind of just wanted to run away. It was doubtful that he would see her again. But it didn't really seem like the right thing to do. With one last scowl at Emmett, Joel turned and walked inside the house. He walked up the stairs and hesitated by the entrance of the room he had found her in before. She was lying on the bed now, wrapped up in a towel. Joel tapped on the door frame lightly and asked, "May I come in?"

[Axel]

Emmett stopped laughing as Joel turned to glare at him. He lowered his hand, letting it fall at his side, and his mouth turned down in a straight line. There was something about the way that Joel was looking at him that made him a little uneasy. "Woah," he said, holding up his hands innocently and taking a step back. That glare he was giving him really was kind of scary. Emmett thought he was over reacting, but he knew better than to say that of course.

Dezirae had already gone inside, and now Joel was following after her, which left Emmett standing alone in the rain. He stood there for a few moments, but then he sighed and followed everyone into the house. He had a feeling he wasn't really wanted here, but when had that ever stopped him before. Be ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time. It was obvious that's where everyone went judging by the wet footprints.

Emmett saw Joel standing just outside one of the rooms. He pushed past him rather rudely, and headed into the room. Emmett didn't have any manners like Joel did. He just walked right into the room, shaking his head like a dog and sending little water droplets falling everywhere. "So you two know each other?"

[Dezirae]

Lifted her head up as she draped her hand over the top of the towel so that when she sat up it didnt fall down. She looked at Joel then watched as Emmet barged in, shaking his head like a mutt. "Yes - you can. Manners Emmet, I don't want to have to be mean to you" she said as her dark honeys glared at him. For being leader she was pretty layed back about some things. However she was strict on manners, they needed them to keep to the normal social field.

She shook her head at emmet then waited to see if joel was going to push more one what had just happened since she did send him flaying pretty hard and fast. She pulled her hair to the side as she looked at him. Her honeys just shimmered some as she kept legs crossed and sitting up. She didnt know what else to say right now. She knew that he was most likely going to have a lot of questions.

[admin]

Apparently, Emmett already knew this girl. He couldn't be sure, but it seemed like it by the way he spoke so casually to her, barging into the room like that. Joel sighed inwardly, watching as the guy pushed past him rudely. Of course he knew her. Emmett probably knew every girl in the town by now.

"Yes, you can," Dezirae said, giving Joel permission to enter. She said something to Emmett about minding his manners, but Joel wasn't really listening. He was trying to think of what to say to Dezirae about what had happened outside. He considered pretending it had never happened, but that would just be lying to himself. It had happened and they both knew it. He took a breath, deciding that he'd just give her a really quick sorry and then drop it. Because he was sorry. He hadn't meant to tackle her to the ground or anything. See? This was one of the reasons he didn't like the rain.

Joel followed Emmett into the room, moving with a little more hesitation. He walked past him, shooting him a glare, and then came to stand at the edge of the bed. He looked over at Dezirae. He let his eyes sweep over her and then his gaze fell toward the ground. "Hey, um..." He didn't know why it was so hard to say this. He probably looked pretty foolish right now. Clothes all soaking wet, mud all over his backside, hair a mess. "Sorry for back there," he finally said. He glanced up at her again, curious as to how she would react.

[Axel]

"Manners, Emmett.I don't want to have to be mean to you." Emmett sighed, plopping down in the chair in the corner of the room. "Fiiine," he agreed reluctantly. He didn't really care that he was still soaking wet. It didn't really bother him. Leaning back against the cushion of the old chair, he kicked his shoes off, making himself right at home. He had never been here before, and he wasn't sure if it was really okay for them to be here, but he didn't really care. He looked around the room, eyes taking in all the old accessories.

Emmett rolled his eyes as Joel glared at him again. The guy seriously needed to brighten up. From his experience of working with him at the bar, he knew that much. Joel always seemed like he was off in some other world. He always took everything so seriously too. Emmett could give him a lesson or two on how to have fun, but he really doubted Joel would give him a chance. He was still wondering how the guy knew Dezirae. He found it kind of interesting though, so he kept quiet, wanting to hear what she was going to say to him.

[Dezirae]

Would look to emmet smiling she shook her head "Such curiosity Emmet. We just met today. - You don't have any questions? to how I moved you so fast and hard?" she had to ask I mean, it was kinda how she met emmet. She just shook her head as she looked back to joel and stood up. Her finger had gone to his chin like it had done the hours before. She couldn't hide that there might have been a slight attraction to the male. The accidental kiss had even sparked more of an attraction. She traced down his neck again only this time she paused at his chest.

She would look to him her dark honeys would keep her focus on him waiting for him to just ask her a question. She knew he had them. He just seemed to afraid to ask her about them. Then again her being so close right now and only in a towel might have made him hesitate. She just tilted her head to the side as she waited to hear any words from him.

[admin]

To Joel's surprise, she didn't even really seem to care about what she said. Actually, she totally ignored his apology and came up with a remark of her own. "We just met today. You don't have any questions?" At first, Joel didn't understand. Questions? "To how I moved you so fast and hard?" Understanding slowly dawned on his face as he got what she was getting at. Yeah, of course he had been wondering about that. He just hadn't been sure about asking about it. He'd planned to apologize first and get her forgiveness, and then maybe if they got talking, then he'd ask. She didn't seem to be worried about any apologies though. She seemed like she was already over it.

"Well, yeah... I mean..." Joel trailed off as she Dezirae stood up, watching as she walked over to him. Once again, he found her finger on his chin, and he suddenly forgot what he was going to say. She made him a little nervous when she did that. He wasn't used to anyone getting so close to him. He was just glad that she didn't seem upset about what had happened. He had imagined he might get yelled at or something, but it was actually quite the opposite. Her finger traveled down his neck and over his chest. It made him shiver this time.

A question. He had to think of a question... He was having trouble concentrating though, with Dezirae standing so close like that. "How'd you... how'd you do that?" It was the first thing to cross his mind, and he blurted it out. It was all he could think of. "You can't he human. You've got to be a ..." he trailed off, unsure if he should say it.

[Axel]

Emmett watched the two for a while. They weren't saying much, but there seemed to be some sort of chemistry there. Jeez. Maybe he should try that some time. Now that he thought about it, it actually wasn't that bad of an idea. Trip and fall on someone and end up kissing them. If it had this effect, he was willing to give that a try. He'd thought Dezirae would have been pretty mad with Joel, but she wasn't. He guessed that was a good thing though. At least there wouldn't be any fights.

Emmett was growing bored. It was only exciting if he was the one getting the attention. He was trying hard to behave and just keep quiet. There were a bunch of comments he could say, interrupt their little conversation and turn the spotlight on him, but he didn't. He just continued to sit there, trying to be good. He sighed loudly, making sure he was heard. That was all though.

[Dezirae]

Would look to him and tap his chest with her finger smiling "No . . your right im not human - Even better. I'm werewolf " she grinned lingering on her next set of vocals before she heard emmet, with a snap she was in emmets face. Looking at him. Shaking her head. "But you know whats even better. Im the lead - Emmet stop being so attention drowning." she said and put her pointer and thumb opposing sides of his chin. Looking at him in the eye just pinching softly as if giving him a strong punishment. She didn't like how he was. She would show him this too.

Before she looked back over to Joel waiting to see what he would say. It was getting dark that she could note they were here they mies well stay with her here too. She walked back over to the bed and layed back on it hair sprawling out legs instantly crossed so no peakers could see up the towel.

[admin]

"No... you're right, I'm not human - even better. I'm werewolf." Joel stared at her for a moment. He really shouldn't be so surprised. In the world today, there were plenty of werewolves. And, I mean, he had even known deep down that's what she was. He had known from the moment she flung him off her. It would have been impossible for a human to do, no matter how strong they were. Part of him was relieved to find out she was one of the wolves. He somehow fit in a little better with them than the humans, even if they were naturally born, unlike him. That made him wonder about her. Had she always been a werewolf? Or was she like him? Joel hadn't met anyone like him though in all two hundred years of his life, so that didn't seem likely.

And then she added, "But you know what's even better? I'm the lead." Joel hadn't really been expecting that. Wow, that was great. So he'd made a fool of himself in front of the lead wolf. That made it even more embarrassing. He debated on telling her that he was a wolf too. He was always hesitant, even telling other wolves. He was a little different from them. He had been changed, unlike most of the species. He was pretty rare, and not all the werewolves accepted him because of that. He was just some mutt, not a pure breed like the others. He had been human once, and still thought of him that way. A weak human.

Desirae turned her attention to Emmett for a second. Joel thought it was annoying how the boy couldn't go a minute without being the center of attention. He cast an irritated loo in Emmett's direction, but he didn't say anything. He was actually grateful for the space. It gave him a moment to think. He looked back up after a moment, watching as Desirae laid herself back down on the bed. "Me, too," he suddenly said, giving a reply a little late. "I mean, I'm a... werewolf." It still felt weird saying the word, even after all these years. Werewolf. He figured it was safe though, seeing as all three of them were wolves. He lowered himself down onto the edge of the bed, running a hand through his wet hair. It was a habit of his.

[Axel]

"Emmett, stop being so attention drowning."

Emmett grinned as Desirae turned her attention to him. He just laughed, pleased that she was now looking at him. He'd always been this way. He knew that some people didn't find it very attractive, but he really couldn't help it. He didn't just want the attention. He needed it. He hated being ignored. It drove him crazy.Desirae placed her hands on his face, on either side of his chin. His grin widened and he lifted his eyebrows. "Well, it worked, didn't it?" It always worked. He could get all the attention he wanted. He was really good at it. It just came naturally. He was kind of like a dog in that way. Always really friendly and outgoing, but he'd do anything for attention. Desirae left him to go lie on the bed, but he didn't complain. He was pleased with the brief attention he had gotten.

Things got more interesting when Joel confessed to being a werewolf too. Emmett already knew that, but he didn't know if Desirae did. He was still wondering how they met each other, but he refrained from asking that. He knew better than to go snooping into other people's business. Maybe he'd ask Joel at work sometime when they were alone. He still didn't understand why Joel didn't join up with the pack. He was a werewolf too after all.

"So what're the plans for the night?" he asked, stretching back onto the chair lazily. He didn't really feel like going back out in the rain again. His clothes were still soaked from before. Besides, it would be getting cold out there now that the sun was setting.

[Dezirae]

Would look to emmet and shake her head to him. "Easy, the plans are to stay here untill the rain decides to stop. - We don't the towns folk to smell us when its raining it will cause suspicion." She said to him before rolling onto her belly and looking to joel whom once again seemed to be sitting there quiet. She hadn't known him too long but she was sure interested in him. It was one of those things where you couldn't help but want to question him. Then again she didn't she just looked over to emmet and randomly stuck her tongue out at him.. She didn't really know why she did it then again she didn't really know why she was inferior when the rain decided to fall she was so much . . well stronger then the rest when it rained. The rest being the ones she knew.

"Joel - Hesitation in your voice , get me to think you do not like what you are" this made her frown as she grabbed his arm so that she would pull him to lay on his back so she could look at his face. "What we are .. Is not bad. Unless we get provoked. This isn't some curse - it was meant to be us for one reason or another or it simply would not have happened.". She spoke with true honesty in her words. She didn't want to make it look like she hated what she was. Like most of her kind she was born what she was. Though she was the only out of her siblings that were what she was. She sighed looking away from both of them. In all actuality she had no idea that she was younger then joel, then in some cases older then him by human age.

[admin]

Desirae said they were going to stay here until the rain stopped. Joel didn't really have a problem with that. He didn't exactly like the idea of running all the way back to town in the dark. Sure, he could get a warm shower back there, but he wasn't sure if getting soaked again was worth it. His clothes still weren't dry from before. He let out a quiet sigh, tilting his head back as he listened to the rain fall. "Joel." Desirae's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"The hesitation in your voice, get me to think you do not like what you are." Joel lowered his gaze, eyes shifting off to the side. She was right. He didn't like what he was. In fact, he hated it. This was why he didn't even fit in with the other wolves. They were all born like this. To then, there was nothing else. They were proud of what they were, and he was just a disgrace. "What we are... is not bad." Joel wanted to tell her that she didn't know what she was talking about. Not bad...? He wondered if she had ever woken up to find that she had killed someone with her own two hands.

Then again, maybe being born a wolf was different. They had never known what it was like to be human, so maybe killing wasn't as wrong to them, just something natural. Or maybe they didn't even kill. Maybe their transformations were different. Maybe they had more control over what they were. Joel hardly had any control. He had more control than he had when he'd first been bitten, but he still turned into a wolf sometimes when he got mad. And when that happened, his human conscious went blank, leaving him with only the instincts to kill.

All of a sudden, he felt warm fingers grasp his arm and he was being pulled back. He let Desirae pull him down on the bed, and he turned his eyes to look at her. "I'm... different than the rest of you," he said, transfixed by her gaze. He didn't know why he had said that. It wasn't a smart thing to say. She wouldn't understand.
