Aeya

Aeya awoke with a loud yawn and stretched, her spine clicking in satisfaction. She hung her legs off the tree branch she had perched herself on the night before, and noticed a few human kids laughing at Mason. He was a good kid, but humans were cruel and unfair, picking on him because of who he was. With an aggravated growl, she jumped down from the branch and landed right in front of the glass, pounding her fist on it to shock them. They screamed and ran away, leaving Aeya chuckling.

"Yeah, that's right, you little snots! Keep running!" Huffing a sigh, she turned towards Mason and smiled sweetly, before walking and plunking herself down beside one of the plates of grubs. "C'mon, Mason, let's eat, huh?" She tried to look strong for him, but she was slowly going mad in this cage. They always kept it warm, of course, but she dreaded when the winter months would come, and she hurt from all the tests they ran on her. Taking a small grub and chewing on it carefully, she glanced out the window and noticed a familiar form striding in his cage. "Looks like Fangs is up and annoyed." She waved her hand slightly, hoping to catch his attention and share an exhausted smile.


Allaini

"Please, honey? Can't I come with you?"

"You know how my boss feels about you being there, Al..."

Allaini batted her eyelashes and pouted her full lips at her fiance, who sighed and nodded.

"Fine, park the car, and come in. But no more speeches, alright?"

With a happy squeal, she parked the car, leaned over and kissed her fiance, and dashed out of the driver's side, hurrying for the zoo gates. Though she hated to see the creatures all locked up, she loved to study them, draw them, maybe communicate with them if they'd let her. As she walked through the zoo, she began to hum and sing to herself. Her first stop was the werewolf pen, as always; she loved to see them, they were magnificent, especially a small white one called Sivian.

"Good morning, Sivian," she called, "I hope you're well today!"
