Snippet #1445374

Chai heard Sogreth mumble the newcomers race and she stiffened. A vampire? As Sogreth hid behind her she couldn't help but chuckle, hiding behind Chai wouldn't provide any safety against a vampire. "I'm Chai. I'm a shifter" she said cooly, giving a simplified name for her abilities. She looked behind her once again at Sogreth, Chai wondered why the demon had been sent here if she hadn't grown to an age of independence. Chai definitely didn't want to play mommy, she had her own stuff to do, but she also didn't want to abandon the kid. Her eyes returned to Cail, she couldn't help but narrow her gaze. Chai in her life time had been given many a reason not to trust vampires.

Piper woke with a start. She felt as though she had dropped from the ceiling into her bed. She couldn't even recall what she had been dreaming. She looked at the bed covers around her...she had been tucked into bed? She knew that wasn't how she had fallen asleep. She sniffed the covers, they smelt like the alpha. She felt her cheeks go a little red, he had been in there? It seemed strange to her that an alpha would check up on her like that. The alpha of her old pack had been protective of her, but that was because he was her brother...well adoptive brother. She did miss him, and they hadn't exactly left on good terms. She sighed and checked the side of her bed, her guitar was still on the floor, lying face down. "My baby" she gasped. She picked it up and checked it over to make sure she hadn't done any damage before gently resting it in the corner of her room.

She peered out her window, it was a full moon. No wonder she had woken with a start. The moonlight made her skin tingle, the wolf inside her bouncing around, eager to change. She wondered if the pack was feeling it too.
