What is?

Seems I'm still freakish, even among the not normal.

You don't look like a freak to me.

I'm six foot seven and sixteen years old. The size stays in... other forms.

Other forms? Wow that's tall for 16. You're taller then me and I'm 18.

I'm, uhmmm, right, a werewolf. So in that form? I'm the size of a horse.

That's tall for thirty. I think it's done now though. I hope.

You're not the only one who's a werewolf. I was born this way.

Oh? OH!

Neat, in you being, not born.

I wasn't. It just, well, I guess maybe I might have been but it was latent. Least until the vampires. I thought it was all just stories, you know?

I can't stand vampires. I have a real hate for them. It's nice to meet another werewolf who isn't family. I don't see many around.

*blushes*

I'm Eve.

These are... vegetarian, in that they eat animals. But the one is obsessed with my best friend, controls her too. I can't stand him.

*grins*

I'm Jacob. Pleasure's mine.

So..Jacob, you feel like maybe...*pauses*

Obsessed with your best friend?

Okay, one finish that, huh?

Two, yeah, they're engaged to be married. She's willing to die to be with the bastard. Fucking leech.

She's insane. She's gonna get herself bitten.

I was gonna ask if you wanted to hang out sometime. Maybe get some food or go running.

She wants to be bit. She wants to be one of them. She'd rather be dead than have a real life with me and the pack. They even offered to take her in, treat her like one of our own. He's nearly gotten her killed time and again and... She picks him.

I don't see why not.

Oh did you like her? That makes things harder..

Only if you're sure.

Yeah, she knows too. She loves me too but not as much as she loves him. But I'm not imprinted on her, no matter how hard I've tried so I guess... Yeah, this is why I bolted from my pack. They got tired of listening to me whine.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Oh.

If you love her you should fight for her. I'd love to have some guy fight for me, maybe she feels the same?

I tried. They got engaged. She didn't even tell me, he let it slip through his thoughts, let me see the truth. He got a kick out of my pain. I fight too hard, I kill him, and she'll hate me so what's the point?

She doesn't want me to fight for her. She wants me to smile sweetly and tell her it's okay to desert her family, her friends and everything for this guy that won't even let her come see me and the pack because loving him has people trying to kill her.

I'm sorry but this girl sounds stupid and she's not with your time.

You deserve better then that.

Yeah, I try and convince myself of that. And you're a Doll. Thanks.

Anytime. You're cute. *bites her bottom lip then kisses his cheek*

*turns about four shades of red and tries to remember speech patterns that involve more than uh, uhmm, I and yeah*

So are you.

*isn't normally forward but thinks he's totally cute*

Yeah?

*leans up ans presses a kiss to his lips*

I know the feeling.

...

Whoa. Uhmm, no, that was the right answer.

Sorry. I can see how it wouldn't be.

So you are...

If you say me, I quit.

Um, I don't think I'm you? I'm Caleb. Caleb Danvers. And...just. Know something about being freakish even to the ones you're supposed to be like.

Jacob Black. Werewolf, by the way.

Started meeting others like me and I'm still different. I don't know, I thought maybe it would mean finding a place, you know?

Nice to meet you, Jacob. And, not a werewolf either, but I'm a witch, so...not exactly normal, I guess.

Yeah, I know. I've always had a place. A group. People like me, but now...I'm not just like them anymore, and I can see it worries them. Scares them even. Hell of a thing, thinking your own people are afraid of what you can do.

I left my pack over a girl. Still working on that but... I don't know. It's just... Yeah.

Why do you scare them?

I told a girl what we all were without consulting the rest of the group, so...not quite the same, but.

Because I have more power than we're supposed to. A lot more.

Yeah, close enough. I got shit for Bella finding out about us but I didn't tell her! She guessed... with hints.

... Cool.

They forgave me Sarah, mostly. I think. I mean, their moms all know, but....I shouldn't have told her without consulting them, just. Things were out of control....

..Not really.

Why isn't that cool? I mean, I know I gave up alpha, and the power that goes with it and all but... Why not cool?

It throws off the balance, means I'm twice as strong as the rest of them, and it's dangerous to hold that much power.

So you are like a pack then, have to work together? I mean, in what you hear about witches, I didn't realise the coven worked that tightly knit like we do.

I say cool but when they offered me the power, in this case alpha, I turned it down. No big, you know? Not my thing.

Sort of. I mean, we can do whatever we want separately....but we tend to be together. Always. It's just the four of us, like our father's before us, and we're more family than anything else. We do almost everything together, but now....sometimes I wonder if and when they'll start to be scared of me.

I didn't have that choice.

Join the club, we have jackets.

I hate wearing clothes though!

There are also spiked collars. Much more fun.

Guess I should be glad it's not buttons, what with the lack of shirt half the time.

Yeah, you don't strike me as a masochist.
So, what's your freakishness? You tell me yours, I tell you mine.

Seems going furry at will isn't freakish. It's the six foot seven human, size of a horse in other form that makes me different.

And I don't know about the masochist part. Maybe I am, trying to make my best friend understand I love her and can give her a better life than the leech she loves.

Been a wolf a bit more than three hundred years, takes more than fur and fangs to be freakish to me. The size thing's a bit new to me, but I'm four foot at the shoulder in wolf form, so not so surprising.
Mine's a bit more complicated. I'm what they call an Omega in my home. I function outside the dominance structure that is necessary for most packs. Won't submit, won't dominate. But having me around can be enough to let a rouge control his wolf. Wolves are more likely to survived a violent turning. People relax.
As for you being a masochist, well, that's not being into pain. That's being a teenager. In a complicated situation. As far as I remember.

They tell us that for as long as we're needed, as long as we shift and choose to shift? We won't age, for years on years. The day we release the wolf and stop shifting, we'll start aging again and the die normally.

I thought the size thing was normal. All of us from the tribe that shifted, except for Leah, we all just started growing and then one day... boom, we shifted. Guess the elders knew it was coming but they weren't sure how to tell us.

I, uhmm, I should be alpha but I turned it down. My grandfather was.

Being a werewolf and having the girl you love willing to die to be with her obsessive leech boyfriend is normal teenager?

I will never physically age again. Haven't in two hundred and fifty. If and when I die, it will be because of an accident, someone killing me, or ending my own life. No going gently into that good night.
And size does tend to vary greatly with breed. Just as dominance. It is not hereditary among my wolves. And there is only one wolf in the world who was born werewolf. The rest of us were changed, half by choice, half forced, all violently. Few are surprised by the change. Few turn down dominance, but it is not unheard of. Mostly among older wolves like myself.
Not your exact situation, but trying to convince your best friend you love her and would be better for her than her current boyfriend? That's pretty classic.

I've only been doing this for about six months. The legends say that we don't age until we want to. I can't see giving this up but, maybe one day, I'll get tired of this. I guess it could happen.

We don't change others, but this has been the first time a female has shifted as well as the males of our tribe. I just... Sam would have been our second but he is more secure in his ability. I still feel... like a freak. He's a better leader.

I'd settle for not even with me if she'd choose NOT to die for him.
