Elektra

Finally, it's Wednesday night, the night I go to my dance classes. I do musical theatre, senior jazz and senior contemporary. I just have the energy, agility and elegance to pull all of these in one night. OK scratch out elegance I just love to dance. When I dance I picture myself in a different world doing something exciting. Weird way of putting it I know but that's just me.

I slipped on my black stockings and blue leotard and tied on my black skirt. I used water to sleek my hair back into a high ponytail then grabbed my things and headed downstairs.

"Going to dancing!" I yelled to my mum before I closed the front door. But I felt someone's gaze boring into my back. When I turned around I saw Luke in his wolf standing near my car. My whole body warmed at his gaze. "Hello, handsome." I greeted giving him a scratch behind his ear which he willingly leaned into for more so I gave him a hug taking this chance to soak up his scent. How does he smell intoxicating while being in wolf form? After a few seconds, I let go and looked up at him in the eye. "I'm going to my dance lessons now," I said almost apologetically. He cocked his head to the side taking in new information. "I'll be gone for a few hours." I gave him a kiss on the snout then backed away to my car still looking at him he huffed then ran off and I felt as if I'd disappointed him. He'll get over it. I sat in the car turned on the ignition and drove off.

I dumped my things in the small, smelly change room and headed for the dance studio where all the girls were either gossiping or checking themselves out in the mirror. Like Claire is doing right now, you know I had no clue that people actually sold orange leotards and now that I think of it she probably just manifested it out of thin air. I stood next and did some stretches just to get warmed up.

"Gosh, I look hot!" She stated proudly and I accidentally scoffed luckily she didn't hear me.

"Yes Claire you are hot but that's only because your body temperature is over 100 degrees."

"Exactly I'm hot both ways!" I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror, I don't reckon I look anything special. I think I'm regular looking I don't why people are so amazed I'm just a girl who hates wearing ridiculous bright-coloured jeans and will only wear dark colours. Nothing too incredible.

(Yes I think bright-coloured pants are ugly and not be worn, especially in winter! Meow Believe me I have seen people wear bright yellow pants during winter and I was really annoyed. Anyway back to the story.)

"You'd look better in a red leotard." Claire likes red too greeaatt... I ignored her comment and stepped closer to the mirror, there's always cold air coming from it. I guess because it's a mirror it would be cold but I there's something off about it, I always feel there's someone watching me. Maybe there's another room behind there. I just hope it's not a one-sided mirror.

"Claire I need you to make some smoke and hold it near the mirror." She looked at me questioningly and then smiled excitedly. In her hand, a fireball just appeared. I made sure no one was looking and made a step closer and the smoke flew towards the mirror flowing through a crack. I knew it they had creeps watching us on the other side. I'm joking but honestly, I don't have a clue. "Alright, you can put that out now." I've been here for years and I finally realise anyone could be watching us on the other side. Well, that's creepy.

Luke

I watched as she spoke to the orange girl the mirror is soundproof damn! I know this is considered as stalking but I need to find out more about this girl. I'm not doing anything that no one has done before. I just want to see her dance and the teachers here wouldn't let me in. So I snuck and found this room. Elektra started checking herself out in the mirror and she seemed disappointed, what does she have to be disappointed about? She's gorgeous one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Then I noticed the orange thing... uh... girl holding a fire kitten in her arms. Elektra glared at Claire and her mouth started moving probably telling her to put the cat out. Why does she hang around with a fire girl when she has water powers? She can stand giant wolves and runs around with a sword that I still have in my room along with other stuff she left behind at the lake. The dance teacher who's skinny, pale skinned and blond-haired came in and everyone including Elektra surrounded her as she spoke. Time to show your moves Elektra. She and two other girls grabbed a chair in the centre of the room and sat on it looking down at the floor and spreading her legs apart. Then smooth jazz music started playing she looked up before the other girls did and she had this cheeky look on her face. Other girls started moving hands on hips while stood up and started moving in a way that turned me on. I feel guilty now. I came here just to see her dance and now I can't keep the dirty thoughts out of my head. I kept my gaze on her and admired every angle and wished I had her in my arms right now. My wolf inside me is clawing getting hungry, not for food for her. I need to relax. For some reason watching her has brought the inner beast out. She leapt in the air and twirled around so I got a view of her arse and then she shook her arse and I accidentally growled. Ahh! calm down! Why is she doing this to me? I have to look away but she makes it impossible to turn away. She turned around and faced the mirror giving me a devious look... is it possible that she knows I'm there? She did a shake with her hips just like all the other girls but it was her hips that made me snap and my wolf took over. I walked out of the room breathing heavily and my heart pounding.

*************

Elektra

We finally finished dancing and I did my final pose giving the mirror a dirty look since we were doing a Burlesque theme then I saw Luke in the mirror and I whipped around surprised to see Luke standing at the door but what really surprised me was how heavy his breathing I can literally hear every fast heartbeat. And his eyes have gone really dark.

"Are you OK?" I whispered because he could here me with his wolf hearing. His eyes slowly lightened up to his normal golden eye colour and he finally calmed down and smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes. He's feeling ashamed but why?

"Can I help you?" My teacher asked clearly not happy. That's when I noticed we weren't alone and every single girl in the room was staring at him in awe. I mentally rolled my eyes and smiled back at him.

"He's here to pick me up but he's a few hours early," I said for him.

"Right yes pick you up uh.. well that and I wanted to see you dance." He said, I know it's nothing to get excited about but my heart warmed up anyway but my teacher is not impressed. Meow.

"Sorry, all non-dancers wait outside." Grrr, really you want him to wait outside! I walked over to Luke and grabbed a hold of his arm which made my hand burn and tingle but I didn't react.

"I'm going to be here for a while Luke. I'm afraid that this goodbye." I said over dramatically.

"Are you telling me to leave?" He asked giving me a shocked look.

"Yeah, pretty much bye-bye!" I said quickly then turned around but he grabbed me and spun me around to face him again. The look he's giving tells me he doesn't like to be dissed.

"I'll make it up to you one day but for now you should leave before Claire comes over." He stared at me confused and I giggled. "I'll explain it to you another time." He reluctantly agreed and I gave him a peck on the cheek and he gave me a goofy smile.

"Excuse me." My teacher said. You're excused I thought but didn't say out loud. "Before you go I want you to do that twirl again." Demanding isn't she wait did she say twirl?

"With pleasure." He spun me around and around and around until I was so dizzy I fell into his arms. Finally right where I wanted to be but I reluctantly stood tall shaking off the dizziness.

"Next time give me a better warning," I mumbled still in a daze and he chuckled.

"Very good..."

"Luke."

"Luke, ever thought of dancing?" I jumped at that question and looked at my teacher probably bug-eyed. Luke is a dancer really? I doubt that.

"Uh... not that style of dancing, no." He said. That type of dancing?

"What is that supposed to mean?" I questioned crossing my arms over my chest and he jumped at my change of tone.

"Well the dance you're doing with the chairs is not my thing..." He murmured slightly smirking. Oh. I looked at Claire and she looked confused at the whole situation, I don't know why but I started laughing.

"Luke the dance with chairs that's not your thing is this semester's theme."

"Oh." He said looking embarrassed while the girls giggled at him and checked him out. I wish they would stop looking at him like that. I decided to ignore them and caught Luke off guard by linking my arm with his.

"I'll show him out," I said but my teacher beckoned me to come over so I let go of him and walked over to her. I noticed Claire walking over to Luke. She's going to scare him off with her so-called flirting, I'm not worried no one ever goes for Claire which at times makes me feel sad.

"Elektra try and convince him to join a class." She whispered and I laughed but agreed. I can't imagine him dancing he's to big and a buff. So I won't ask. I strode over to him and I noticed even though he's standing tall and strong the emotion in his face tells me he's afraid. Yep, Claire has frightened him.

"Alright, Luke time to go." I pulled him away from Claire and we walked out of the studio only inches apart and I was so tempted to hold his hand. Every once in a while he'd glance at me and give a devious smile. "What are you smiling at?"

"Oh, nothing.... just waiting for you to ask me to join a dance class." So he heard...

"So you listen in on other people's conversations," I remarked and he sighed playfully glaring at me. "Actually I have a different question.... why are you here?" I questioned and he went silent. Hmm.... pretending to be deep in thought huh? " Fine then don't answer well there's the exit," I said pointing to the door and turning to walk back to class but he gently grabbed my arm so I gazed up at him.

"I came to ask if you are free this weekend." He said in a rush. Yes! Yes! Yes! Wait a minute... I sighed and he stepped back disappointed. "I get it, doesn't matter." And he headed out to the exit but never will I ever let someone with a hot arse like that get away that easily so I ran for him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders which is hard because he's freaking tall! And brought my mouth close to his ear.

"Hang on Romeo I can't this weekend I'm going camping," I said and he whipped around so I stumbled and he caught my arms. Well, that could have been worse.

"Camping! In the woods?" He asked. No in your house but I kept that comment to myself.

"Yes with Olivia's family," I said calmly while he tried to hold back the worry showing on his face.

"But the vam... there have been murders Elektra it's not safe out there. Especially for a girl like you." A girl like me. Growl.

"First of all, I won't be alone since I'm with an entire family and second I can take care of myself," I said calmly but right now my blood is boiling, he's looking at me in disbelief and now I'm seriously annoyed. Just because he's a werewolf he thinks he's invincible. Calm down he's just worried for you. I took a deep breath and gazed up at his gorgeous face, Curse his height! "I'll see you later," I said before I walked off and this time he didn't stop me.

*************

As soon as I got home I bolted to my room to get changed and get my sword. I put on a black turtle neck top, with black jeans and hoodie then I searched my cupboard for my sword. but it's not here. what? Where is it? Damn left it at the lake. I'll have to back and get it and hope I don't lose my clothes again, like last time. Meow I can't be bothered. I put on my leather gloves and attached a simple dagger to my belt then walked out of my room. Then I noticed a bright light coming from my sister's room. What is she doing? I peeked in and saw my sister and Claire.... and orange bunnies.

"What's going on here?" Kalypso jumped at my tone and Claire squealed and dropped an orange bunny she was holding.

"I'm teaching her to manifest bunnies!" Claire squealed excitedly but Kalypso just stared at me afraid of what I'd say.

"Elektra I'm a.." I held my hand up to stop her I know she's a witch I don't need reminding. I hate the fact that she's one of my arch-enemies it sickens me but she's family and I will accept it sooner or later just not right now.

"It's getting late you have school tomorrow." They both sighed and I looked at the floor and saw two bunnies going at it. "Oh foul! Get rid of these rabbits before they multiply by themselves." I whine and they cracked up laughing and I manage to strain a smile. Then I closed the door and ran downstairs through the front door and instantly I felt the cold wind rush right through me. Where's a snuggly warm wolf when you need one? But if he did come I wouldn't be able to take this time to hunt. And find my sword I just pray to the Gods it's still at the lake. My eyes changed into cat eyes so my night vision was on and extended my long black claws. Now to plan everything I'm doing.... Go to the lake first then go to town to do some leech hunting. Yep, I keep my plans short because they usually don't go my way. Hoo!Oh no.... "What now?" I yelled at Athena and she sat there on the branch staring at me. "No time for your staring contests," I said then sped off into the trees. I finally after all these years started noticing a few things about these woods. See usually I wouldn't bother seeing the view when I'm running for my life but since the only thing bugging me is Athena I'm willing to take a glimpse I slowed down clawed my way up on the bare tree, then swung myself on another but this one is full of green lushes leaves then I noticed a fox walking around down below. Probably looking for a midnight snack, he lifted up his nose in the air to sniff and now he looks like he's drooling. That's when I noticed one of Claire's orange rabbits. She let one get away! Oh well. The rabbit looks funny twitching its ears, checking for any sign of danger. The fox hid behind some bushes ready to make an impact and I could either leave him and let him eat one of Claire's.... mutants or scare him off. In all honesty, I don't think it's safe to eat anything Claire makes so I jumped down carelessly and scared both the fox and the rabbit in opposite directions. Ok, I'm done admiring I pounced on to another tree sinking my claws into the bark and climbed up to the top, I then started leaping onto different branches to get me where I needed to go it's not the fastest way but it's the funnest. But eventually, I jumped down and started running when I was getting closer to the lake but once I got there... No sword. Of course no sword! Because that would mean the fates were fair which they are not! Hoo!

"Not now Athena! Unless you know where my..." I stopped abruptly when I heard a growl in the bushes. A grey wolf came through the trees its eyes gleaming with hate. I know I said you can only I'm a werecat when I actually am in cat form but I have my claws out and well my eyes are probably giving me away. I pulled up my turtle neck up to my nose to cover half of my face I probably looked like some ninja then brought up my hood. Then a whitish-creamish wolf came out and I glared at her. The bitch. How I want to tear her throat out but two wolves against one cat. I would win unless there were more hiding behind them so I'd do what any cat would do I leapt over them shifted onto all fours and ran for my life. I climbed up the tree hoping to stay above them but these two were very determined they right up my tail. (Just a saying.) I let out a warning and then jumped down to the ground because there was nowhere else to go. And they started howling warning the rest of their Pack. Come on Elektra think you're good at quick escapes. I heard the trickling of water nearby, a waterfall yes thank you, Gods! I ran in that direction which caught the wolves off guard and they started howling again but fell behind. I came across the waterfall and jumped because I expected the cool calm feeling on my skin but no it felt like burning on my fur and I couldn't breathe. I changed back to human and could breathe again and my body wasn't stinging any more. Mental note no going near water in cat form. I swam to where the water was actually falling and climbed behind it where there was a mini cave, a cool new hideout. I felt my clothes and they're dry? Strange but I'm not complaining. I also thought I'd be exhausted but the water has rejuvenated me, I feel refreshed but also freaked out, and not to mention hyper. I have got to go swimming more often.

"Where'd she go?!" I heard a male voice yell. Shit! I held my breath as if that would make any difference.

"Nice work Marcus, now we lost her!" A cold mean female voice hissed.

"Shut up Deviline! Let's go back to the Packhouse." Deviline wow that name sounds horrible.... totally suits her. As soon as I heard their footsteps retreat back into the trees I crawled out and walked over the rocky edge to get to the shore. Well, what now? Hoo! Hoo! Athena flew down and landed on my shoulder her talons sinking into my skin but I'm not bothered.

"Ok, what do you want me to do?" I sighed and she playfully nipped my ear which made me giggle and then she flew into the trees I had a bad feeling in my gut but I ignored it and followed the sound of her hoots.

********

"The Werewolf Packhouse! Are you trying to get me killed!?" I whisper-yelled at Athena trying to block out all the smelly wet dog scents. Have they ever heard of deodorant!? But then I smelled a scent that took over all of them. Luke's scent gets me every time I just don't know why he smells so intoxicating. They say you're attracted to another person's smell and I agree with that statement entirely I just wonder what I smell like to him. I can just picture his topaz eyes admiring me and his warm smile.... HOO! Ugh what!? Athena flew into the window on the second storey. What is she doing? I can't go in there! I climbed the tree nearest to the window and peeked in only to see a bedroom and Athena sitting on the bedpost.

"You again." I flinched at Luke's voice inside the room and then saw him appear next to the bed looking down at Athena. "You're not going to peck my nose again are you?" He questioned the bird. Haha, she pecked his nose... When did she ever do that? "Is Elektra OK?" Hoo. She pecked playfully at fingers and he smiled. "You're not so bad after all." Then someone came crashing into his room and Luke and him were talking. I wasn't really paying attention so all I got from their conversation was werecat then he and the other guy bolted out the door Luke closed it behind him. Hoo! She said to me then I noticed my sword on his bed, Why does he have my sword!? I leaped through the window did a full roll across the floor then stood at the end of his bed. his scent is everywhere and on everything, Gods he smells so good. Sadly I couldn't stay long and curl up in his bed so I grabbed my sword. It's silver with a purple handle, it has sapphires decorated on it and a black panther carved out on the end of the handle. It also has some ancient Greek engravings that say black beast. One of the sapphires is actually a button that changes the sword into a whip. I was about to leave I swear I was but I noticed my white T-shirt on his dresser. Um....

I walked over and picked it up and something black fell onto the floor. My undies... Oh, my Gods. I would say why does he have my black panties but I think I have an idea of... what .... he's....doing.... with.... my.... black... lace .... panties. That I got from Victoria's Secret. Not for any particular reason I just walked in for fun and saw it and bought it for the future. I've been wondering where they went. I picked up my underwear then the door burst open. Shit!

******

Luke

I opened the door to quickly get something but when I walked in I saw this fine looking woman with an amazing pair of legs covered in black jeans and a black hood so I couldn't see her face but she was holding Elektra's underwear and has her sword strapped to her belt. I saw the claws and knew who she was. She then looked at me with an amused glint in her blue eyes. She lifted the panties up in the air while her other hand was on her hip and she raised her eyebrows. I may have taken a few of her clothes when they were hanging on the laundry line. But hey the were cat is in my room teasing me with it. And in the blink of an eye she was gone leaving the clothes behind but taking the sword.

"Hey!" I yelled and jumped out the window landing awkwardly on my feet and she ran into the trees in human form so to be fair I ran after her in human form.

'Paul, Avon, Cole I have her!'

'We're right behind you.' We ran after her and I have never seen a girl leap so high into the trees and run along the branches so elegantly.

'Why hasn't she shifted?' Cole asked me. Like I know but I wasn't really paying attention I'm embarrassed that she saw the underwear. No time to think about that concentrate Luke! But I don't think she's a threat, she saved me from vampires and she hasn't harmed any wolf in the Pack. Deep in thought, I realised that we lost her because she disappeared from my view. Oh well.

'Come on Luke I have her cat scent.' I smelt it too. It's her cat scent but it's mixed with a sweet scent like Elektra's probably because she has Elektra's sword.

'Let's get her!' Paul growled.

********

Elektra

I snuck into the closest house in the woods and closed the door behind me. I didn't know people actually lived in the woods but no one was home and from the dust, no one had been here in a while. I was exhausted my legs hurt so I walked into the living room. It smells like old people. Then I heard footsteps coming towards the house. The fates are cruel tonight. I was about to bolt but then I caught Adrian's scent and felt him probing in my head so I built up my walls and blocked him out. Then he came through the front door with the boys behind him. Hang on a minute is he working with the wolves? Is this why they hate me?

"Alright boys you stay back here I want to speak with her."

"Who put you in charge?" Cole said hastily but Adrian ignored him and walked over to me. The boys including Luke stood a few meters behind him ready for attack.

"My my you have grown. Time has treated you well." He gave a low whistle while looking at me up and down. "Miss me?" I stayed silent and glared at him my heart racing, and my blood boiling. I will wipe that smirk off his face.

*******

Luke

We stood in the background as Adrian walked towards her. Looking all smug although I can only see her eyes I read pure hatred in them. Not to mention the tension in the room is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

"My my you have grown. Time has treated you well." He gave a low whistle. "Miss me?" She glared at him but stayed silent. So they've met before. "So glad I found you before the others did. I promise that if you that if you come with me you won't be harmed." He held out his hand and I scoffed when I heard murmur under breath 'bullshit' She's right everyone wants her dead. "We'll talk this through and then you'll be under my care, come on pussy cat." He smirked and she flinched then got into a fighting stance. "Still the same I see, never go down without a fight." She looked at me her eyes smiling then she winked at me. Did she just flirt? Then all of a sudden kicked down and one of the floor board came up and hit Adrian in the face knocking him to the ground. I literally burst out laughing and the boys looked at me disbelieving so I bit my tong.

"Get her!" Paul shouted and charged after her but she this amazing flip backwards up on the top of the staircase and just stood there waiting and mocking us. Paul ran up the stairs while Avon ran up another staircase so she ended up trapped between them. She stumbled backwards on something and then I heard Elvis Presley singing. We stood all stood awkwardly and trying to restrain a smile that was creeping in on our faces but we got back on track once she started moving. However instead of attacking she started swirling her arms around in the air and swaying her hips and Adrian started laughing but holding his bloody nose. I watched Avon pounce at her but she ducked and he crashed in into Paul. Cole then came out of nowhere and threw a fist at her face but she grabbed it just in time and twisted it just the slightest bit before actually lifted him up and threw him at Paul and Avon so they crashed back Down onto the floor. Adrian is being no help he's just laughing his head off so I ran up the stairs and she then ran down a dark hallway and I ran after her.

"Big mistake mutt she'll rip you to shreds!" He yelled still laughing. I followed her in some bedroom then she was gone. Damn lost her again! She can't of gone anywhere. So I searched the room and heard the door close behind me. There you are. I turned around slowly and saw her leaning on the door staring at me her arms crossed over her chest.

"You took something of mine. I'll let you live if you give it back." I said and she chuckled. I threatened her and she's laughing? She looked down at her sword and then back up at me.

"It's not yours neither are the black panties." She teased and I held down a blush and came at her. She swung her fist at my face but I blocked it and she didn't waste any time she immediately used her other fist to punch me in the gut, not to hurt me just to knock me down. She's not trying to hurt me she's just trying to escape. Maybe she didn't want to fight or it was some trick so I jumped up but she flew a kick at my chest but I grabbed her leg and pulled her against me she grabbed my shoulders for balance but I stumbled forward and we fell down me on top of her in an awkward position. "You dirty dog." She whispered.

"Don't flatter yourself I'm taken," I whispered back.

"Even better." She purred and slid her hands up my shirt and I felt a warmth wherever her hands trailed. Oh my God her smell it's... Wait a minute. I leaned into her covered neck to get a better whiff but when she realised what I was about to do she pushed me back so she was on top of me. I took this chance to try and pull the turtleneck down but she smacked my hand away. Wow, it really hurts now. "Not today wolf man but maybe someday." She said her eyes turning from blue to gold then a deep brown then she meowed and leaped off me and ran out the window. I stayed put shocked, refusing to believe it! The smell was coming from Elektra's sword that's it. Yes, the smell........ came........ from.. the sword....

"Luke you alive? Man, this chic is tough." Cole said all bruised and rubbing his arm, the arm she twisted. My friends crowded around me then Adrian appeared in the doorway.

"She got to you didn't she? Do you finally know the truth or is she still messing with your head?" he smirked.

"I have to check something," I said and they all gave me a confused look except Adrian. What does he know? I know the were cat isn't Elektra she has water powers and the Alpha said were cat die if they go near water... Also, the scents are slightly different. I'll go see her at her house and everything will be fine.

Elektra

"Athena, how could you do this to me? I can't have him knowing who I am!" I yelled and snapped my fingers so my outfit changed into pyjama shorts and purple pyjama top that says do not disturb.

"OMGS what happened?" Claire asked all excited.

"OK, Claire I need your help let's watch a movie and pretend you had sleepover so when he comes he won't suspect that I am well you know."

"Who? Oh my gosh, are you Somebody?" Really Claire? I ignored that question and brought some blankets and pillows Claire turned on the T.V. and made orange popcorn which I'm not eating for safety purposes. "He's coming!" She squealed and we snuggled together on the couch pretending to watch the movie. Time for my acting skills to kick in. I saw him through glass doors and walked towards it pretending to just see him. Meow here I go.

"OK, Claire stay inside and watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." I snuggled into my boots and walked across the lawn and into the trees where he was standing watching intently. I gave him a scratch and stared up at him. "Can't stay long I have company over." 

He nodded then huffed in relief, and I'm safe! Then I shivered when the wind blew through me and he stood behind me blocking the wind from touching me. 

"Thanks by the way I'm going camping this weekend." He did this wolfy sigh. "Don't worry if you're nearby I'm sure nothing will happen." I joked but he looked like he was considering the thought. "I'm joking! I'm going with my friends so you can't be around."

"Elektra where are you?" I heard Claire sing and Luke flinched and accidentally whimpered. I giggled and then kissed his nose.

"Run while you can," I said in a serious tone mainly because I was serious he needed to run as fast as he could. "Good night." I walked back to the house and Claire smiled cheekily. Should I be worried? Eh, I'll worry tomorrow.
