Chereads / Smoke And Fire / Chapter 3 - Braid

Chapter 3 - Braid

I froze in place. It faced the boy who'd tapped on my shoulder. His eyes pierced my soul, those dark blue daggers stared.

Shaking off the feeling I asked, "Can I help you?" The smile on my face remained while I tried to hind my own scent. My Dad had taught me how to when I was younger just in case we ran into other supernaturals but Dad had mentioned that other werewolves could still smell me so I'd have to try harder to hide my scent completely.

The boy came closer to my face. I leaned back and made a face, "What are you doing?" I jumped back and stood guarded. The boy hadn't moved but replacing his neutral look was now a look of surprise, finished off with a smirk.

I stayed guarded not knowing if he would try something. He stood and stared right into my eyes with two words coming out his mouth as he did, "Found you..."

I was mortified, I knew then and there that the person standing right in front of me was another werewolf, I was now sure of it. My body relaxed a little but my wolf was alert. I was truly frightened but that quickly melted into pure rage.

Without thinking I grabbed the collar of his uniform and dragged him out of the classroom, ignoring all the 'OoOooOoo~'s' coming from my classmates. I took long steps hoping we could reach an empty classroom before being seen by the teachers or other students who were running late.

I eventually found an empty classroom and shoved the boy into it and slammed the door close behind me. I spun around fast, getting my face covered in my hair. "Your hair is really long." I finished fixing my hair and looked at the boy again. He was at least 6.4", strong build, broad shoulders, muscular arms and legs, short, midnight black hair, and don't get me started on his dark, crystal blue, daggers he has for eyes. He was basically perfect.

"Would you like me to braid your hair for you?" I glared at Mr. Perfect who was now staring down at me. This guy is creepy. I got annoyed and my face showed it, I glared at him, "Hey now, I didn't mean it like that." He put his hands up and smiled nervously. "It's just that your hair is really long, it's nice don't get me wrong, I just though that if your hair was up is a braid or something then it would be easier for you." I raised a brow and crossed my arms. The boys expression changed into a frightened smile and he broke into a light sweat. "I may only be 5'6, but I will still kick your ass if you try to do anything." I turned, rubbed my temples, and grabbed a chair the sit on.

I gave the boy some hair ties and waited and he stroke his finger through my hair before beginning to braid. I took the opportunity to ask some questions, "So, what's your name?" I crossed my legs and laid my hands on my thigh, "Well I'm guessing you want my full name." He paused for a moment but still continued to braid my hair, "My name is Axel Henderson, age, 18, species, werewolf. Purpose for bothering you? Simple, curiosity."

I was surprised, for being unable to read at first, this guy sure has no problem giving out his information. "Is that enough to satisfy you or would you like my number to?" Axel kneeled in front of me with a slip of paper in between his fingers. I took the paper and slipped it into my pocket, "My name is Kaitlyn Howard, age,18, Species, Werwolf."
