"You shouldn't have done that."

I open my eyes to pale blue walls, wooden floors and an open window, birds tweet joyfully outside flying in the blue skies. Turning my head, a girl sat beside the bed in an old wooden chair. Her silk like brunette hair framing her found childlike face perfectly, at a mere glance there would be nothing to make you think that the girl beside me was a vampire. Her whole face full of life and warmth, even her presence was sweet...just like lilies. Though, like lilies, not many know how they have to grow out from the darkness to reach such light and beauty... for such a delicate flower on the surface, they are often full of their own unique mystery and even anguish, the girl before me was no exception to this rule.

"Aliza...What are you doing here, if the coven finds out I'm with you-" Jumping a little, I stared wide-eyed at Aliza as she suddenly blows up, her face redder than a tomato in her dangerous yet no less beautiful fury.

"Oh hush! This isn't about the coven nor their business! What were you thinking Wilk? I told you not to wander into places you shouldn't be, and more importantly, what have I told you about touching things that are well best left alone. You know what will happen to you, no, to us if you had been seen... you're lucky I was there to clean up your mess, again may I add!" For awhile we just sat staring at the other, the silence stretching on before I watched her sigh, her shoulders slumping as all of the sudden her anger turned to tears.

"Aliza..."

"You fool, what if... what if... something had happened to you I, I dont know what I'd have done... oh Wilk." Suddenly she flung herself into my arms, crying like I'd never seen her cry before...the Aliza I knew was always so strong, she had to be to stand among her kind and keep her place... never had I seen her break or waiver and yet, here she was in my arms... sobbing for something as small and useless as me. Wrapping my arms around her, I looked down in shame. "It's okay, we're okay... I'm sorry, Please... forgive me." leaning back, I looked out the window holding her till she was ready, truth be told I never wanted to let go but all too soon, it was time to let her go...back to pretending we didn't love the other as we did. Sigh.

"What were you doing out in the road Wilk and, what, is that." Looking over to the corner of her small cottage, in the shade sat my new pack brother Necro, he sat watching us with calm silence. I grinned, it hadn't been a dream after all... I wasn't alone anymore! With pride, I turned to Aiza to reply back "Aliza, meet my new brother Necro. I rescued him from a pack of birds that were surely going to eat him and adopted him as my own, Don't worry! I know he doesn't look of wolf but he smells like one and if a runt like myself can make it out in this crazy world, Necro is no different!" Carefully I throw my legs around the edge of the bed, it seemed Aliza had done a great job patching me up and even clothing me... judging by my now healed skin, blue slacks and red t-shirt. With a wolfy goofy grin I laughed, my hand running through my midnight hair. Being a werewolf came with its perks as well as it's drawbacks, fast recoveries were one of them.

"Wilk, you can't just adopt random creatures off the side of the road... there's no way the pack will accept him! Outsiders Wilk, you know the rule about outsiders." I threw her a glare, as I moved to my new brothers side "He's just a cub Aliza, don't be so cold." Gently I smiled down at the young cub now in my lap, his eyes sparkling with innocence as he peered back. "cold?! Cold?! I am anything but and you know it! The others won't like this and will kill him on the spot, maybe you too! Where ever you found him, put him back. His mother will surely be looking for her fledgling." Slowly she came to us, lightly resting a well-groomed hand on my arm "I know you care for him... but you have to do the right thing, it was brave of you to do what you did but what about his family..." sighting, I gently reach out my hand placing it over her cold one, staring deeply into those gorgeous emerald eyes of hers "He has none Alzzy... I don't care what the others may think or if I am banished for it, I will do what's right, just as your telling me to, don't worry...everything will work out, hasn't it always?" I could see I was slowly winning her over... she really was anything but cold-hearted. With one last sigh, I watched as she chuckled, running her hand through her hair in what had to be the most attractive, adorable, gesture I'd ever seen.

"sigh... fine fine fine, whatever, I just hope you know what you're doing..." I grin as I see a smirk spreads across her beautiful face "AND that you have a grand plan for when this gets out and everything goes up in flames. Knowing you Wilk, it surely will." I know I shouldn't but I can't help it, I run and scoop her up in my arms, spinning her in circles as we both laugh.

That evening, we stayed with Aliza. We talked and got to know the small cub I had bravely saved. Turns out, for such a small cub he was quite skilled with words, something that I could tell didn't quite settle right with my friend... but in the end, he was only a cub, right?

What's the harm could it possibly do.
