Chapter 7 - The Guard prt 2

Everyone was silent as Clover entered the brightly lit room. She didn't fail to acknowledge the multiple gadgets and monitors all around, and the huge digital table with the holographic map on it. She looked at all the faces, she saw someone looking exactly like Clara, probably her twin sister, but  her eyes only stopped at the one person she had butterflies in her stomach for, Liam Gunderson.

"Everyone, meet-" But Clara was cut by Liam's voice "Clover Reed" His voice sounded angry and unbelieving making Clover feel slightly self conscious. "She's the mage" Clara answered the pending question before it was asked, not that it wasn't obvious.

"Clover, meet everyone. This is Lance, our assassin" Lance flashed a dazzling smile that Clover returned with a small one of her own. " This is Claire, my twin sister, and the team's Hunter" Claire waved and beamed when Clover did the same. " And this is... " But before she had time to say his name Liam stormed out the room slamming the door behind him, to say that Clover was disappointed was an understatement.

Once Liam reached his room he cursed loudly at the situation. He knew Clover from the academy and she was no match for the dangers outside of the academy. She is too fragile and can be a liability for the team "Crap why am I so worked up" He asked himself running a band through his hair, his wolf was on edge ever since Clover entered the room.  He needed a run and he was gonna be fine after it, that was a given.

Without giving it a second thought he opened the window in his room and jumped down. He landed swiftly, perks of being a werewolf,  he immediately shifted, his clothes turning into fur and his bones pooped into different places. When he was fully shifted, he stretched his limbs allowing them to pop in the process.

He started running towards the dirt path loving how the ground felt under his paws. His bliss ended when he smelled a now familiar smell, roses. He sniffed around a little then followed the smell and there she was, sitting down on her shin,  leaning against a tree. She was looking in the horizon and was absentmindedly stroking a rose petal in between her fingers.

She hadn't seen Liam yet and he took the opportunity to observe her. She was small, very small compared to the 6ft wolf, she had strawberry blonde hair pulled in a ponytail, she had green eyes that looked blue depends on the angle of light. Her fingers were very slender and looked delicate, he wondered how they would feel against his furr.

'What am I thinking' he shook his head but the movement attracted her attention, "shit".
