A Call to Meet

[Twilight Black]

Twilight bounded silently through the forest on four legs. To anyone that would be unfortunate enough to watch, all they would see was a big blur of tan fur the size of a bear through the quiet night. No one was that unfortunate tonight though. Lithe muscles would her swiftly from the forest behind her neighborhood to the clearing were she would call for the other member in her pack. They had new immortals in her town, and patrols were needed now more than ever. Twilight didn't know if Phoenix knew about the new-comers, but she wasn't going to wait to find out.

Twilight thought as she ran. It wouldn't take long for her to get to their meeting place, but it was enough time to form the beginnings of a plan. Patrols first though. Phoenix would probably think she was being over cautious, but it wouldn't matter. It wasn't his place to question her. Packs didn't work like that. She finally reached the clearing. It took her 10-15 minutes to reach it. If she had been a normal human, it would take her at least an hour. A wolf smile formed on her lips, spreading them out over her sharp canines.
Running that fast was a rush, a rush she enjoyed.

Back to business though. Twilight looked around, light gold eyes glowing in the dark. She took a deep breath, inhaling different scents, then exhaled in a ear-splitting howl. The sound split t through the quiet night. Phoenix should be able to hear it, especially with his hearing. She would give him five minutes to leave. It would be suspicious if he ran out the door every time he heard a wolf howl, so she gave him five minutes to seem inconspicuous. Then another 15 minutes to get here. 20 minutes in all. Twilight settled herself for the wait. Even though she was laying down, she still had that regal look about her.

Sylar hummed softly under his breath as he walked through the forest. He was humming along to his Mp3 which he was listening to as he watched the forest floor grow darker as the trees grew thicker , it seemed a wonder that he didn't fall over and kill himself or at least rip his tights. He was in a shortish brown skirt, with desined frays at the edges and running up the middle. Sylar's hair was still short, his father would have killed him if he'd had it long but he had a purple clip holding back the side fringe so that he didn't end up eating his hair again, that could get so annoying. he was waring a purple top with sleeves that stopped at his elbows and smiled as he thought he must have been quite a sight but didn't really care, it was nice to be in a place where no one knew who he was, maybe people would think he's actually a girl. Though he doubted it, he still had an adams apple and wasn't waring a stuffed bra or anything, not to mention he'd never changed his name, he liked his name, Sylar it was kind of modern.

As he was lost in his thoughts as he wondered the area thinking of whatever random thing came to mind, mainly cute people he'd seen that day.
"Shame, such a shame. I think I kind of lost myself again. Day, yesterday. Really should be leaving but I stay" He sang softly as he went, smiling to himself.

he stopped sharply as he noticed a large creature lying still on the ground and took a step back with a gasp at the sight of twilight, half hoping the creature was asleep and he could get away. He bit his lip nervously and managed to walk into a tree not able to take his eyes off the creature a little afraid, he'd never quite gotten over his fear of wild dogs since he was attacked and he could almost feel his eyes turn a bright blue as he stood frozen to the spot

[Twilight Black]

The light tan werewolf ears pricked as the snapping of twigs sounded far off in the woods. A low growl emanated from her throat as she caught his scent. She continued laying down, even as the intruder came into the clearing with her. Only when she heard him gasp, and back peddle very quickly. If she was in human form, she would have smiled darkly. No matter how long she was a werewolf, she never got over the satisfaction of people in awe, scared or not. The wolf's head snapped toward him, facing him. Light golden eyes burned into him. Things were about to get very interesting because; a) It was an intruder b) It was a male intruder c) It was a male, werewolf intruder.

Twilight got to her gigantic paws. Her hackles bristled, and her body was stiff. Golden eyes stared him down. A ripping growl punched past her chest. The sound was similar to that of a chainsaw roaring. All her body language screamed one thing. I'm alpha here, make yourself small nonthreatening, and submissive, and I shouldn't kill you. Twilight hoped his instincts would kick in. By his scent and body language, he hadn't been a werewolf long. She made herself more imposing, her fur bristling outward in righteous anger at her territory being intruded on. If she didn't have any human left in her, she already would have attacked him with all her frightening fury.

[dark]

Sylar bit his lip again as he backed away only to see the creatures head snap towards him and he felt his whole body freeze no longer aware of his surroundings his eyes fixated on her.

"Shit!" he uttered quickly, his voice breaking as he did so, only to take a step back, trip over a branch and be left there on the ground staring up at this huge creature which was growling at him "Shit" he uttered again not knowing what else to do

Sylar couldn't help himself, her scent seemed to drive him into a little bit of a frenzy despite his fear. He could almost feel his eyes change and he bared his fangs in respons, purly by mistake, he didn't even yet know how to change, let alone could help when his body seemed to decide to, thankfully it seemed to stop at that though and he clasped a hand over his mouth as he realized he'd been growling and just looked again small and frightened as he looked around with futility as though there'd be anything he could use to defend himself with. He hadn't even realized Twilight was anymore then a possibly rabbid dog. He scrambled back as best he could against the tree biting his bottom lip raw untill his back felt the the hard wood of a tree. He was shaking visably now, he knew he was, hell who wouldn't be frightened at this and the only thing he could think was that he was going to die.

[Twilight Black]

Twilight advanced. He wasn't doing quite enough to convince her that she shouldn't kill him. Sure he was shaking, cursing, but still. It was out of fear, not submission now. Twilight, still rigidly displaying her dominance, stepped forward, despite his eyes changing, and the possibility that he could change at any moment. Her eyes were more gentle now. He seemed to be scared out of his wits. Silly boy. Twilight stopped in front of him. She pulled her lips back from his teeth. She wasn't being aggressive, just being alpha. Twilight willed him not to struggle. Her jaws opened,reached down, and grasped his head in her bone crushing muzzle. She was gentle, and wouldn't hurt at all... Unless he struggled. All she needed him to do was lay still, not panic.

[dark]

Sylar gave a small whine as she apraoched pressing himself harder against the tree, he was left there almost begging
"Please please" he whispered to himself thinking it futile, far as he knew she wasn't even aware.

'I'm going to die here, eaten....eaten alive...' he thought to himself shivering at the thought, once lucky, he mightn't servive this time and he wondered vaugely what he must have done to a dog in a past life to suffer this
Sylar pressed his eyes shut as she advanced on him shaking hopelessly. By pure bad luck he opened his eyes as she held his head and was gripped by instant panic at the sight of her teeth
"Oh god!" he cried and tried to pull away from her kicking out at her, he cut his forehead and lost his clip in the effort but managed to get from under her somehow.

He stood there a moment and looked about to bolt when his throat restricted, his lungs cramping painfully, he fell back against another tree trying to breath searching his pockets for his inhaler but his hands were shaking too much, he managed to pull it out of his pocket before dropping it on the forests furny floor before he was gripped by pain and panic, his body becoming ridged as he tried to grasp for air

'this is it.' he thought as he tried to find his inhalor on the ground 'this is how I'm going to die. Better then being eaten I guess'.

[Twilight Black]

Twilight hmphed in surprise when the male escaped her. Ah well, he proved he wasn’t a threat by the soft whine anyways. During that moment before he started having an asthma attack, she sat on her haunches, and gave a wolfish smile. A simple show that she accepted him for the time being, or at least wasn’t going to kill him now. None if this mattered as soon as the kid fell back, shaking. Of all the most inconvenient times. Why now. Gah, clothes are back at the house too. Twilight put modesty to the side for a moment, there were more important things she needed to worry about. Thankfully she had some medical experience, not with humans, but it still might come in handy. Twilight’s body started convulsing, bones and joints snapped wetly into place, and she took the form of a human again. Wincing at her nudity, she had always been a modest person, she ran over to him. She would grab his conveniently long jacket later. Twilight firmly, but gently, pulled him upright into a sitting position. Her sharp eyes caught the plastic inhaler, and shoved it into his shaking hand. Green eyes pierced his as she held his hand steady, waiting for him to do what was needed. Twilight had never been around a person with an asthma attack, but common sense told her what to do.

[dark]

Sylar shut his eye's painfully as he felt the attack wrap around his lungs still trying to breath. Despite his pain he looked up at her a little surprised to see this woman. He felt like screaming as fire brimmed up the sides of his tight lungs as she pushed him up and with her help managed to press the button on the top and inhale it before pulling back. Sylar took a moment coughing and gasping, drinking the air in rushed breaths before eventually his breathing began to calm as it returned to it's normal rhythem.
He glanced back up at her as he managed to regan the last of his breath, tears having run down his face without him realizing from the effort and pain and right then it must have been quite a sight. A teared bloodied transvestite covered in dirt from rolling around the forest floor, his hair a mess now matted with blood and some naked chick leaning over him. He collected his inhalor and shoved it into his pocket looking furious at her as he realized finally where she'd come from not in the least part phased by the nudity, he'd seen enough of that back home where people could hardly stand the heat and it was second nature for them to strip off.

"What the f**k?!" he growled his eyes blue, though most of the malace was lost due to his voice being horse from the attack as he wiped a hand over his face trying to rid it of some blood and he just stood up deciding to take his chance and leave before she tried to kill him again

[Twilight Black]

Good. He knew what to do. The inhaler button was pressed, bringing relief to his lungs. He coughed and sputtered, but he seemed to be recovering. The male’s breathing slowed to normal, and she could relax her tensed up muscles. Now that he was back amongst the living, Twilight smiled. He sure did look pathetic though. Twilight couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. His hair was matted together with blood and forest dirt. A dirty, tear and blood streaked face stared up at her. His exclamation amused her, and she made room for him to stand up, hoping he wouldn’t bolt. That probably wouldn’t be good for his weakened state. A wry grin spread across her face.

”Do you always panic when situation needs you not to panic?” Twilight chuckled, eyes sparkled with good humor. The question was rhetorical. The male didn’t seem affected by her nudity, but it still made her uncomfortable. After the fright she had given him though, he probably wouldn’t be to inclined to give up his jacket. Twilight covered herself up as best as possible while trying to be inconspicuous. Now that that crisis was over with, other important things needed to be addressed.

”How long has it been since you last fed?” Twilight asked bluntly. Most things Twilight said or asked were blunt. She didn’t have time to beat around the bush to spare some ones uneasiness.

[dark]

Sylar shot her a quick glare at the question though clearly relaxed at her humor, and well, the fact she wasn't trying to eat him anymore
"Do you always try to eat people wondering around?" he asked frowning and crossing his arms moving so that he was standing at a distance from her, the idea of giving her clothes not even occuring to him for a moment before he noticed her trying to cover herself "Um....Are you like cold or somethin'?" he asked handing her his jacket but pulled it back a moment "No eating the jacket I like this one...or me at that, I kinda want to live." he smirked trying to act as though he wasn't at all shaken even though his hands were still shaken and he couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze

"Fed? um...I had vegitarian pasta bake for lunch..." he muttered clearly trying to stir away from the conversation. In truth he'd been trying to avoid eating ever since....ever since that one time.
Sylar looked away from her biting his bottom lip looking nervous as he tried to change the conversation from that topic "Why did you attack me?" he chose to bring up

[Twilight Black]

Twilight gave a barking laugh. She shook a slightly shaggy head in amusement.

"I was not trying to eat you. Other werewolves don't smell like food in the least bit. Besides, I wouldn't crack your skull anyways. I would go for your throat if I was planning on eating you." Probably the creepiest thing about what she said was that she was sincere. This would probably seem even creepier to him, not seeming to be 'with it' on the whole werewolf thing.

Twilight took his coat thankfully though. Ha ha, her...? cold? Not likely. She almost sighed with relief and relaxed visibly as the secluding folds were wrapped around her, holding it together as much as possible. Twilight snorted again in amusement at the idea that she might eat his jacket. What did he think she was? A goat? The smirk he wore was trying to convey confidence, but she noticed his hands shaking. It was probably good that he wasn't meeting her eyes too. Twilight went by wolf language a lot. Wolf language said prolonged eye contact meant disrespect. That would probably not be in his best interests not.

A dark smile formed on her lips, twisting them upward. He was obviously not comfortable talking about feeding. Hopefully he wasn't a vegitarian... but then who would eat a 'vegetarian pasta bake', unless they were. This would be a very difficult transition for him then. One couldn't ignore their wolf instincts for long. It would be dangerous for him to be around people if he didn't feed regularly. Twilight sighed patiently.

Another one to take on. Twilight thought to herself. When Phoenix had first turned in to a werewolf, Twilight had been there too, with him, to help him through his changing. There was a lot to learn, becoming a werewolf and all. The new language, the hunting, learning to tell the difference between wolf and human needs were all perquisites to becoming a werewolf. Twilight was glad she was here, Hush Hills would be dangerous to humans if she hadn't come.

"Your going to have to hunt. And I'm not talking about hunting for food at a grocery store. You will be a risk to humans if you don't." Twilight's smile turned bitter.
"You'll feed one way or another. Either go on a rampage, feasting on any human who's scent is too strong... Or, back here in the woods hunting animals, were you won't be a danger to people." Once again, Twilight was slightly sympathetic. She felt for the new werewolves... and he seemed to be one.


"And I was not attacking you. He he, if you spend enough time around me, you'll be able to speak wolf fluently" Twilight chuckled, another show of humor. He... Twilight still didn't know his name... seemed oblivious to what she had been telling him when she was in wolf form. This boy had a lot to learn.

[dark]

"Then why the hell did you bite me?" Sylar hissed pointing to the cut on his forehead, the bleeding was stopping now "Ugh then what the hell were you doing then?" he whined a little sitting down on a large tree root and looking at her warely
Sylar looked a little worried at her, with a gaze of almost disbelief as she discribed how she would have eaten him

"Your welcome" He told her a little indignently. After all she had tried to eat him, or bite his head off....or something anyway, the least she could have said was thanks that he could even muster being civil to her after that display, granted an apology wouldn't have gone a miss, he hardly apreciated being driven into an ashma attack

Sylar wasn't a vegitarian, never had been, by god if he was a cross-dresser 'and' a vegitarian, his father would have disowned him years ago. But since he'd been bitten he didn't think he'd actually consumed meat...he'd suddenly taken a liking to vegetarian meals...well that was more a choice through thought then through taste in a way, the craving he had for meat since he'd been turned had driven him to avoid it at all costs. In truth all he wanted to do was forget about it all and just survive college.

"I don't want to." he blurted out frowning and looked away from her blushing a little and pulled one of his knees closer to his chest in an almost childlike pose "I don't even want to be...whatever it is..." he whispered
"Look it's great that you take pride in whatever it is you are but...I don't want to...I just...I just don't want to be...I just want to forget it ever happened." Sylar said softly "Only thing I want to have to worry about is finishing pre-med" he sighed

Sylar flinched a little at the word rampage and held his knee a little tighter frowning to himself "Isn't there a way I could just...ignore it?" he asked softly already knowing the answer but wanting to pretend a little longer that he hadn't almost bitten someones head off and that the whole reason he'd moved here was that he had to be away from people, in truth he'd planned to live with his brother in NYU studying all day and partying all night....why couldn't things be that simple?

"Speak wolf?" he asked raising an eyebrow and looked away from her knowing what he said next was stupid but he was frustrated an angry and all he wanted was for the truth to stop so he could just go back pretending nothing was wrong with him "My father's killed enough of your kind, in all I've seen all you are are incontrolable animals which destroy everything in your path. He'd say you weren't even capable of lucid thought let alone speak." he hissed and regretted it instantly, and for a fleeting moment he wondered
would it really be a bad thing if she killed me?
He had no family, no friends, and by how hard it was becoming to be around people, no future. What really was the point in continuing, all he ever wanted to do was help people...kinda...now he couldn't even be near them, he indangered them and Sylar hated being alone.

[Twilight Black]

Twilight rolled her eyes. She wasn't one to waste words, and she had already told him she wasn't trying to eat him. As serious as the situation was... Twilight couldn't help but find it kinda funny. His behavior was 50% funny... 50% annoying. She ignored the annoying part though, if she got annoyed with him now, he would probably shut her off completely. He was already starting to seclude himself. Twilight watched him intently as he walked over and sat down, pouting. Just another normal teenager. Gah! Will I ever escape them?? It's like I get to relive high school, what's with all the new teenage werewolves. I wonder if adult werewolves will be this pouty... Twilight got lost in her thoughts for a moment.

Twilight sighed sympathetically at his moody outburst. He seemed embarrassed by it. Twilight started toward him, but then hesitated. It was hard, being a new werewolf. You feel like your being torn apart. Every human instinct he had screamed that ripping things to shreds was wrong. But...if you didn't... you went crazy. It was hard. She wanted to comfort him, but he still seemed put off by their first meeting. Twilight had to constantly remind herself that people didn't always think like wolves. She had better work on that. Human minds were so fragile. But pouting would not help him! Good thing Twilight had a lot of patience.

"Yeah. You have to get used to hunting. But think about what will happen if you don't hunt? You'll hurt people. And heck! I did better than you did! I got passed pre-med, and got a veterinary degree. You can live with this." Her tone was, soft, comforting, but firm and confident. She needed to bring him out of his shell. Some people worked well with relating to them...some worked well with someone taking charge and being confident. Unfortunately she didn't know him well...didn't have enough information about his personality.

Twilight's sympathy for him increased as he flinched. Sure, she felt bad for him, but she was still Twilight, still blunt.
"Yeah... There is one way you can ignore this. Die. There's no way around this." Her tone was gentle, despite of her words. Telling people that they were a werewolf, and there was no way do get around it, usually didn't make them calmer. Twilight needed to answer this question though.

"Yeah speak wolf. It's a lot easier to talk with body language when your in wolf form, then to shift back into a human every time you need to say something, or indicate something. And, you don't really get a chance to chat with something your trying to kill." Twilight's mouth twitched upward in humor again. She had heard about 'slayers'. People going around, killing immortals because they were afraid of them. It annoyed her intensely, but she shoved down the burning passion to correct him.

"You don't have to be some monster. Can a vet be a monster? Am I a monster? Did I eat you? Are you dead, or are you having a rational conversation with me..." Twilight chuckled here, "Or as rational a conversation as a werewolf can have with another werewolf."

[dark]

Sylar scowled a little as she rolled her eyes but said nothing of it, he was aware he was probably being a bit of an idiot, didn't mean he was going to stop though.

"I wanted to be a doctor..." he said softly frowning "Can't even be around people anymore though" he sighed
Sylar closed his eyes for a moment thinking to himself, resting his forehead against his knee as he listened to her
"So basically my option is to move far as f**k away from people and live my live hunting god knows what for the rest of my life?" he asked her openeing his eyes and talking into his knee a bit "Doesn't sound like such a bad idea, I've already been moved to this hole and my family wont even talk to me anymore...all I wanted to do was move to New York and become a doctor, and now I'm what? going to turn into some blood thirty animal instead?" he frowned

"How do I even know I wont go mad, no offence but you didn't seem the sanest when you decided to see if my head would fit in your mouth!" he snapped then shook his head lifting it back "I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped at you..."

Sylar gripped his knee so hard his fingers turned white at her words
"Is there anyway I'll at least be able to stay sane? I mean...The way I am now...I don't want to be some kinda weird thing in whatever acceptance you seem to be in." he sighed feeling sick to his stomach at the thought of having to change

"Makes sence...In a weird way" he sighed "I feel like I'm part of some bad film."

"I dunno, I dunno you do I and even so you still seemed like you were going to eat me, I mean I was just walking around I don't see how that warented that kinda greeting." he sighed and shook his head "Don't call me that..." he said softly thinking of when his father had called him that, his jaw still hurt from the smack he'd recieved

[Twilight Black]

Twilight’s patience was holding up, but it seemed that she would still have to repeat some thing she had already said. She growled silently at the waste of words.

”You wanted to be a doctor, and you can be! I already said this. The only reason you wouldn’t be able to be around people is if you don’t feed regularly. Human blood doesn’t bother you unless your inner…self… was hungry. You need to hunt. Like I said…if you don’t do it out were no one will get hurt, you will go crazy, and you will hurt someone. But, you feed…then that takes care of all your problems.” Twilight finished. Hopefully she wouldn’t have to repeat herself a third time. This boy was being very hard headed. It would do him good to drop the self pity thing. Patience.

Twilight brushed off his snap by chuckling good naturedly. Sure, to him, she probably didn’t seem like the sanest person in the whole world. Thankfully for him, he did apologize. Her patience would wear down a notch if he hadn’t. Hehe… apparently trying to see if his head would fit in my mouth had the desired effect. Respect, that’s what it’s all about. Again, her smile was sympathetic. Yeah, bad film alright. But even bad films had good endings. If he would just accept this new part of him, life would be much easier.

”It’s a wolf thing.” Twilight answered simply.
”But, your going to have to accept this new part of you. You wont last long if you don’t. Now, you see, there is another male werewolf in my pack. Names Phoenix. He goes to school…acts just like a normal kid, even though he’s a werewolf. You can go on with life as you wanted to, but you have a few new responsibilities.” Twilight hoped this would be the last time she would have to explain this to him.
