Spellmaster Extraordinaire.

          “Really?” He looks at Benny with wide eyes. “Your school allowed a werewolf to apply? That’s so cool! I’ve never been anywhere that was that relaxed about werewolves.” Props to Benny’s high school, Lukas couldn’t imagine such a thing.

              He wondered how much supernatural stuff this town got. “I’ve seen quite a few things,” he answers, meaning that he probably would believe whatever they’d seen. “Do they all attend your high school? Is it like a mixed-race school or something?”

             Lukas closed the fridge door. He wouldn’t make a mess, he wasn’t completely without manners after all. Even if Benny hadn’t caught him, he wouldn’t have made a mess before leaving. He was a pretty clean wolf. “But when you stick it in the freezer it gets a freezer burn taste to it.”

              Opening up the freezer, Lukas peers in to see what’s inside. He figured he’d repay the kindness of not letting the hunters get him by bringing Benny’s family a deer later that week. Plus then he could replace whatever he ended up eating. Reaching in, he pulls out the pre-packaged frozen meat and stares at it for a moment. He guessed he could eat it frozen…. Though warm and fresh was always better.

“They didn’t actually know he was a werewolf.” Yeah, as much as Benny wanted to give this guy good news about an accepting and tolerant school that allowed for supernatural applications on the daily... They weren’t exactly there yet. And yet, so many supernatural beings did go to Benny’s school. From the werewolf to multiple vampires. Ghosts and a siren.

         The fact that he was so at ease with telling people he was a werewolf was probably one of the reasons hunters always knew where he was. But Lukas believed in being honest. He thought it would help end the fear people had of wolves, if they saw that he wasn’t frightening. Though other than hunters, the only thing worse to come out to were Team Jacob fans. He hoped Benny wasn’t a die-hard Twilight nerd. They also got so weird.

             “You accepted that a bit easily,” he muses. “Most people either think I’m crazy or just don’t get the joke.”

              His eyes flash the yellow-gold that showed he wasn’t an alpha. “I’m guessing I’m not your first wolf, or at least not your first encounter with something not quite human?”

            Now seeming more at ease since the hunters had vanished for the moment, Lukas moved in the direction of Benny’s fridge. He’d already let himself into the house, he figured he’d already stepped over enough bounds that he may as well step over more by helping himself to something to eat.

Benny wasn’t familiar enough with werewolves to understand the differences between the eye colors, but seeing that yellow-gold was pretty cool! The teenage grinned a bit.

“We had a werewolf at our highschool last year. And believe it or not but me and my best friend kinda deal with the supernatural around here. You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff we’ve seen. Or maybe you would.”

Not to mention that Benny himself was ‘supernatural’.

Following Lukas back over to the fridge, Benny just wanted to make sure everything remained as neat and tidy as his grandmother left it.

            Lukas kept glancing towards the windows, his body tense as if he were ready to run at any moment. The only thing keeping him awake though was the adrenaline rushing through him. Running for your life did a good job of giving you a rush.

               “You make it sound like I would have an old lady beating me to death with her handbag,” he answers.

              As the lights passed away into the distance, a sigh of relief left his lips. He figured they’d double back at some point. They’d chased him this far, no doubt they’d realise he was still in town somewhere. He really didn’t want to get his head cut off at any point.

The lights outside faded away, though as someone who’s watched more than a handful of horror movies Benny knew not to trust the safety of outside based on that alone. Likely, they would double back at some point. See, he’s not stupid.

“Werewolf! I knew it!” He all but shouted, pointing a finger at the other boy. If his exclamation startled the accused werewolf, Benny didn’t acknowledge it.

          He watches the other warily as he walked towards the window. All the other boy had to do was call out to those outside and Lukas would be in a shit ton of trouble. It would be too easy to corner him in the house. He didn’t want to run anymore tonight. He was tired. ( running nonstop for days did that to a person. even were-persons. )

               “Didn’t do nothin’ to them,” he replies. And that’s true. He was actually quite peaceful. “This is like, extreme racism. Very extreme. If they catch me, I’m dead.” He hoped the other would be merciful enough to let him stick around, at least for a little while.

                Of course it wouldn’t take much for Lukas to overpower a human. He was faster and stronger, but he didn’t like fighting. He just wanted this random teen to let him stay until it was safe. Hell, Lukas would be thankful to lay down on the basement floor for a few hours.

For all Benny knew this guy could be an escaped convict. Those lights could belong to the cops. Maybe even the RCMP. What if this guy was a murderer? Benny gave the stranger a sweeping look from head to toe. He did so with the subtly of a bull in a china shop. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for-- A sign that proclaimed “Hi, I’m a serial killer. Please return me to the nearest police station” or maybe something... supernatural. Benny was starting to get that feeling.

“That’s not suspicious at all. Lucky for you my Grandma is out of town, otherwise you wouldn’t have made it even this far.”

This wasn’t a great start to proving to his Grandma he was old enough and mature enough to be left home alone. Actually, this was probably one of the worst case scenarios, right next to summoning a demon. Again.

           Flash lights shine through the windows, proof of the hunters still looking for Lukas. ( though they probably didn’t expect him to have broken into someone’s house. ) Lukas ducks instinctively at the sigh of lights. Gold eyes flash for a moment before he stands up again to face the slightly younger male.

               “There has to be breaking for it to be breaking and entering,” he answers. Its obvious by Lukas’ body language that he’s nervous. Not of the teen before him, but of the hunters somewhere outside on the streets. His gaze keeps flickering back towards the way he’d come in. “And I have done no breaking.” He tries to offer a smile, but he’s too jumpy.

“Good point.”

When the lights briefly shined through the blinds of the windows, casting haunting shadows around the room, Benny set aside his late night snack to go check out what the big deal was. However, as he approached the window, about to peek through the blinds... he thought better of it and turned back to the ‘mysterious stranger’. Those lights were definitely sweeping the area, so maybe that meant--

          He’d been running from hunters all night. They’d chased him straight into the boundaries of some town called White Chapel and in an effort to get away, he’d leapt into someone’s backyard. Due to his enhanced hearing, he could hear their footsteps still rounding towards him. And so Lukas made a last minute decision and yanked open the backdoor of the house, hoping to hide out in the owner’s basement or something and leave before dawn.

           What he was not expecting was to literally run into one of the residents of the house. 

           “This probably looks like I’m breaking and entering.”

And there was seventeen year old Benny Weir standing in the pale glow of the open refrigerator in an otherwise darkened kitchen, a cold slice of pizza in one hand. Although Benny Weir was accustomed to dealing with the supernatural, he wasn’t use to strangers running into his house. This, of course, provided some confusion.

“You’re definitely breaking and entering.”

“I don’t get it. Why didn’t we do this from the beginning?”

“Not all humans are bad. You just have to give us a chance.”

“I’ll use my trusty frying pan as a DRYING pan!”

“You’re up to no good! And there’s no good in your future! “

“That’s crazy, what makes you think you’re gonna find the girl of your dreams here?”

“Bugs are one of the three most disgusting things in the world!”

“Oh, I left my motorcycle at the front desk.”

“You snuck up behind me; that is always a mistake.”

“If anybody’s out there, you can come out. And if you’re a monster or a ghost, you can stay where you are.”

“Surrender now or prepare to fight.”

“What are you so happy about? What’s that thing you’ve got there?”

“You’re lucky they showed up; you were about to lose.”

“Isn’t that color a little bright for a ninja?”

“Just once, I’d like to make a dramatic exit that DOESN’T involve a life-threatening explosion. “

“Aside from you, what are the other disgusting things?”

“By the way, that’ll be a two dollar charge for resting on my rock. “

“With enemies like that, who needs friends?”

“You were created by humans to obey humans. You could never be our equal.”

“Well, crying ain’t gonna help, I already tried that.”

“Where did you get all that chocolate? You’re holding out on us.”
