Silvaus stares back at me with utter surprise. "You mean to tell me that you're having him as a roommate. Are you sure about this?" His eyebrow raises and I hold one arm with the other.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVz701gfj3
"I didn't want to be mean. He doesn't look like a threat at all and he isn't exactly vicious so...yeah. I know if any of them find out I'm harboring the bane of their existence...I'm basically screwed."
The older wolf shakes his head in disbelief, "If there's one thing I know about you it's that you won't give up helping anyone. I just worry about his scent. They smell on drop of him on you and it's over. You're everyone's favorite and reputation or not, they won't let him see the light of day."
I look down at my boots and sigh. My mind was screaming for me to end this and completely ignore Julian. Better if never found again...right? Wrong. My gut tells me to heed no warnings. Even if one finds out...they're dead to me.
"I know but you know me by know. Shot, you've known me for years even. I put pride to the side and surprisingly now reputation. I know he needs someone to help him. A group of vampire bigot werewolves is not a problem as of now" I answer, balding a fist up.
Silvaus grunts and turns his head away. He looks back at me and ruba his temples. "Oi! Alright fine. Don't say I didn't warn you. If your plan goes to waste. I can only one word, run.
I quietly nod my head and turn around, walking out of the guild. Something about Silvaus saying run my blood run cold. I'm sure my face went pale as well.

Julian perks up and rushes to me, "What happened?" he asks. His eyes widen in fear and he shifts his eyes from the guild to me.
I give the dhampir a reassuring smile, "Silvaus is rather concerned but I think he's fine with it."
Julian sighs and wipes his forehead with the back of his head. "Close call if I ever saw one" he chuckles nervously. I silently laugh back and turn my head from him. My head was beginning to whirl. Was this really a great idea? I had just met this guy and the old furball was probably right. I shake my head and glance at him.
Julian was now sitting near the river stream, watching the flowing water. He seemed rather invested in what was front of him. I knew he definitely was not from this era of time. Possibly the 1800 century but still, I felt bad. Waking up to be in a new era? What would I have done?
Bad enough to leave him if I was like the others. Why did they truly hate him? He had a human side but I guess that just makes it a better excuse for their bigotry. Being a hybrid is probably something totally sinful to them.
I sigh and walk over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Julian, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Stress can give you a headache and I don't think neither of us need that right now, okay?" I half heartfully joke. He looks up and grins, "Thank you. No, I mean it. No one's ever been this nice to me since I woke up in this new world" he pauses for a few seconds then continues "do you mind if I call you Phira for short?"
I smile and nod, "Yeah. Everyone here kind of calls me that" I answer. "I don't really have a nickname for you yet...how about pale chub?" I ask, teasing him. He stares at me then laughs. "That's a fish! Do I really look like a fish?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
I smirk and playfully punch him in the arm. "No. I only have pale jokes to associate you with. Those fish are pale so that's what I can only come up with as of now" I snort.

Julian frowns and scraches the back of his head. "Well that's not very...creative."

"What about damsel in distress?"

"Okay...now you're just making fun of me"

"Um...mooncake?"

"I have no idea what that is but you're basically calling me sweet. Are you trying to flirt with me? My, I didn't think you were so straight forward!"

My eyes widen then I glare at him. "Did you just? You did not just say that did you? You realize that I have no idea what I'm doing right?!" I protest.
He snickers and winks at me. I stand there dumbfounded then huff in annoyance. He's starting to get too comfortable here. Now I think he's trying to be a show off.
An unwelcoming howl startles us and we both look up. An unhappy werewolf stands across from us. I brace myself and Julian quickly steps back, hiding behind me.
"Didn't you know you don't play with our enemies? Silvaus was wrong for taking you in. He's always been too soft on everyone." He growls while eyeing Julian.
My bones crack and shift into place. Black fur sprouts out from the underneath my gold armor and I stand there puffing my chest out. My now amber eyes are fueled with fury. I was smaller but that never bother me. I'm not going to let a single one of these idiots touch him.
"Bring it! I'll put you right in your place, bud!" I snarl back, slowly positioning myself in a battle phase.
We lock eyes and I leap towards him, gripping his left arm. The other werewolf bares his fangs and goes in for the kill. I quickly move to the side and sink my teeth in the back of his throat. He yelps and throws me off. I circle around him and glare, putting my claws out in front of me. He lunges towards me and I quickly grab him and throw him off. The brown werewolf tumbles to the ground and slowly rises to his feet.
I stand there heaving and then a sudden rush of anger takes over. I run towards him and tackle him to the ground. We roll down and small hill. The brown werewolf flies off and tumbles to the ground. I'm still on the ground as he recovers and proceeds to quickly launch himself at me. I quickly get up and slam him into a tree. He slowly slides down and lays there unconscious.

Low rankers only pick fights with me and it's a sad proven fact. I knew now that one person saw me with Julian and it was going to get worse. I didn't care though. I'll fight the whole guild of those idots if had to.
I turn my head to see Julian standing there in shock. He quickly runs down the hill and throws himself at me. We both land to the ground in a thud.

Before I knew it, we were both on top of each other. I didn't expect myself to be so forward yet it wasn't like that at all. This wasn't like me at all. I have never been so worried about someone in my whole life.
I raise my upper body up and stare back at Ophira in embarrassment. Her long hair is splayed out and she was completely dumbfounded. "I'm so sorry...forgive me. I was so worried back there. I just had to see if you were hurt or something. I should probably get off now" I turn my head and clear my throat in embarrassment.
She looks up at me and her face flushes. "I kind of don't mind it but, yeah you should get off. I don't want assumptions to happen."
I nod and push myself off her quickly. I scan the area and take a deep breath. Good no one was around to see this. I really need to not do things like this!
I hold my hand out and she raises an eyebrow at first. I was basically shaking now and I didn't want here to know that I was having a cold sweat. Ophira takes my hand and we stare at each other a little too long. Her eyes are so soft yet fierce. I hadn't such a bricky woman like that in years.
There's this odd sensation of anger locked in my mind. The same anger I had when being attacked that night. I scares me to think I actually did that. Those dastards actually deserved it...but I still couldn't understand why I went haywire like that.

I wake up in reality again and pull myself up from the ground, grabbing his hand. He looked at me a certain way and that was something I couldn't forget.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to act that way...I didn't expect that at all or anything that happened today" I reply in a quiet tone, looking away for a moment. I felt off and it was a new feeling mixed in but what?
Julian shakes his head, "No, I started it...kind of. It's the least I could do." He replies back with a weary smile. I hesitate again but not for too long as he lifts his arm to his side and points an elbow towards me, "Shall we?" he asks. I nod and wrap my arm around his.
The last thing I could remember us dealing with was the harsh reality of Silvaus's words. Run was the most vivid of them all. I feel like he knew something because two weeks later...disaster struck.
