Rain
I swatted Darious' shoulder and glared at him as he laughed, the deer all caught the notion and fled away, Darious stood up and held his out for me to grab "you should've seen your face right there" and he laughed again, I narrowed my eyes at him and sighed "very funny".
we walked back to the log I was sitting on and sat there together, I shivered with cold and crossed my arms as a way of warming myself up, Darious sighed "we should get you some warm clothes, it's still autumn and you're already shivering like a leaf" I nodded in agreement, but then it hit me, I smiled and looked at Darious, his brows shot up "uh oh" I smiled wider "that's it! I got an Idea!" I stood up and darted towards the main house, Darious called my name and ran after me, as soon as I reached the main house I bursted through the door "Cyprus!", I ran upstairs, checked Cedric's office, the lounge. He wasn't there. I went back outside and almost crashed into Darious who was confused. I thought about where I would find Cyprus, and then I remembered the conference room Cedric once told me about. Running there Darious caught up with me "hey, hold up, what's the rush?" I jerked my chin towards the conference hall "over there, I'll tell you and Cyprus my plan" Darious kept quiet until we entered the room and found Cyprus sitting there with a bunch of papers in front of him, he was looking down at them with his head between his hands, I knocked on the door and he looked up "come in.
once we settled down and made sure we were completely alone, Cyprus and Darious stared at me expectantly, I took a deep breath "I have a plan that has a big chance of succeeding, I only need your assistance in some of the details in order for it to go through" I glanced between the two until Cyprus nodded "okay, what's the plan?" I nodded back "you guys know that before I got here with Cedric, we both made my old residence look like a crime scene as evidence of my death- so that no one would come looking for me" Darious scowled "that's new to me, but it makes sense" I nodded and continued "I remembered this specific even after Darious mentioned going to the city to get some clothes" Cyprus looked at Darious and shook his head disapprovingly, I suppressed a smile and continued "since I can't got to the city because I'm practically dead for who know how long, I need one of you to go there and bring me a list of things I need for my plan" they both looked confused and Cyprus spoke "so this isn't the actual plan?" I shook my head "no, my plan is to impersonate someone else's ID and get inside the R.A.Ws main carters" Cyprus stood up and pointed his finger at me "no" then he turned to walk outside, as he passed by me I grabbed his hand and gave him the best puppy-eyes look I could muster "please, Cyprus, let me do this for the pack" he shook his head, avoiding my eyes "no Rain, this is way too dangerous, if they expose you, you will be as good as dead, unless they decide to use you as a lab rat at some point" I gulped but didn't back down, looking at Darious who was scowling I gestured for him to say something, after a few seconds, Darious sighed and shook his head "shit, I think she's right" Cyprus whipped his head towards him "are you an idiot? they are known for their experience in identifying werewolves, even those who look the same in everything, they figured out a way to identify each one" he pointed at me "do you expect them to misidentify a human? one of their own?" I stood up and grabbed his arm "Cyprus, they won't be able to identify me" he looked at me "how?" I smiled "I'm giving myself a new look!".
Cyprus still said no to my plan, but in the end I had him promise me to think about it. Darious seemed more cooperative, but he had to go back to his own pack for now, saying that they might kick him out of the pack if he keeps disappearing like that without notifying the others.
I lay in my bed that night, the house felt eerie without the commotion of guys casually going in and out and hanging around, or Cedric's heavy footsteps as he passed by my room in the morning or at night, the thought of Zevrus' musky scent made my eyes water with longing to see his hazel eyes one more time- I wiped away my tears and tried to stay strong as I remembered our last conversation and then I remembered how he tried to defend me and got beaten brutally, the fact that he was gone as soon as I tried to realize that he's back made my heart tear apart and I felt my tears going down my cheeks freely after I lost control over my emotions.
That night I fell asleep after a long silent cry, there was no doubt that I missed the guys, but now I had to look forward and focus on my plan. Darious had promised me to come over today, so I sat outside and waited for him- just as I finished my coffee he showed up, the first thing that I noticed is that he was wearing a long sleeve shirt, a cap and converse shoes, I raised my brow at him "is it just me or that you look weird today?" he chuckled "I'll take that as a yes for my next question" I raised my brows "what question?" He smiled and pulled out a pair of Ray Ban sun-glasses from his pocket then put them on "do I look human enough?" I chuckled "now I get it, yeah, you actually look NORMAL for how a human is supposed to wear in this weather" he nodded and smiled "alright, now where's that list of things you want me to bring you?" I stood up and got inside to get the list I had prepared yesterday, Darious is going to the city undercover to bring me the things that I needed along with some actually warm clothes. He scowled at the small paper and then he came to stand next to me and pointed at one item "what's this thing written in gibberish" I laughed "oh Dee, that's hair dye, and the number next to it is the tone I'm doing" he nodded but then shook his head "whatever you say sweetcheeks".
After sending Darious on his way, I head to Cyprus' cabin, I knocked twice but there was no answer , after knocking for the third time the door cracked open "Cyprus?" I pushed the door hesitantly and looked inside , his bed was made up and the cabin was empty, I closed the door and headed back to the main house. Taking off my sandals I wondered where Cyprus is constantly disappearing. Suddenly , I heard heavy footsteps upstairs, slowly straightening up,I felt a shiver run down my spine- for some reason, I was scared.
I mustered all the courage that I had and slowly crept upstairs, there was a sound of things being thrown away, papers shoved around and drawers being pulled open, obviously someone was searching around and digging up things in ons of the rooms.
When I reached the top of the stairs, I slowly looked inside. The intruder wasn't there. I passed a few more rooms until I reached Cedrics' room at the end of the hallway. The door was wide open and the noise was surely coming from the inside. I expected the person to be Cyprus-maybe he was looking for a paper that concerns the pack business? I crept a little closer and peeked through the door, when I saw who it was I gasped and he turned around, I stepped inside the room "Jud?".
