GIVE ME A ROSE AND YOU DIE- a short story by Darkened Angel Feathers.
(Disclaimer: I do not own House, only in my dreams! That show is amazing! If you do not know what I am talking about, it isn't actually important to the story.)
James Wilson has been stalking me for three years as of today. And before you ask, no, not Dr. Wilson from House.
I am not a Psycopath! I have not been keeping track of how long this kid has been obsesed with me. He told me today and gave me a present. To celebrate our "Aniversary". Because of him I have been unable to get a boyfriend. They're all scared off by his craziness. He thinks that one day we're going to get married and have billions of kids.
The boy is nuts.
He's also obsessed with wolves. He thinks he's one. He told me once that he's a werewolf.
Werewolf. As if.
That's what I thought, until a certain incident.

Five Days Ago
"But...but..."
"I said no, James"
"But Ruby!"
"No, James. I have schoolwork to do."
"You can do it at my place."
"You do realize how wrong that sounded, right?" He shook his head to sinify yes and snickered. He actally snickered at me. He was probably a pervert underneath it all. His chocolate brown hair was a mess, hanging in his eyes and sticking up in random places. He locked eyes with me once again. The green seemed to flow as he asked, for the millionth time, "Please will you come over?"
I don't know what possed me to, but I said yes. All these years and I had never accepted. The kid must be growing on me. That or I need to be checked into the mental hospital.
"Yay! You won't regret it, Ruby!"
"Sure."
"Come at six. That should give you enough time to do your school work, right?"
"Yea, I guess."
Was I dreading going over to his house? Yes. With every fiber of my being i was. I had finished my homework and was now hiking slowly but surely to James's house. I had been there before. When we were little and our parents forced us to set up a play date. That was when he'd decided to marry me. Our parents had been delighted. Then mine had to go and die when i was ten. i had become an emancipated minor as soon as i turned fifteen. When he was older he'd started stalking me. That was also at fifteen. And now I was here. At his house. or should i say cottage? It was in every way a little cottage. it had old-time panneling and windows with little designs throuout the glass. The paint was a creamy off white. I had to admit that the house sure was beautiful. But why it was out in the middle of the woods, I didn't know.
Butterflies were dancing in my stomach as I stood before the dark wood door. The glass window at the top was frosted glass, so I was unable to see through it. i raised my hand, ready to knock, when the door opened. James stepped out onto the porch.
"Hi" i said, suddenly nervous. Why was i just now noticing how attractive he was? he hadn't seemed this goodlooking in school.
'Hello, Ruby. it's nice to see you here again, after all this time." He hugged me. god, he even smelled better. What was going on? Was i going crazy?
"I need to show you something." He took my hand and led me out into the forest. I had a lot of time to think, because the walk was silent. Now that i'd thought about it, he had never been a mean stalker, never pushy. He was kind and never tried to pull me into something i didn't want to do. He had been pursuing me for years, yet he'd never given up. The very thought of that was sweet Why had i never liked this boy again? His very appearance was clouding my thoughts. Why had i never been attracted to him? he was very attractive.
He led me into a clearing; it was circular, with a cliff on the very edge. the cliff looked off onto the whole town, and the sunset was visible. i sat there, grasping james' hand firmly in my own, refusing to let go. the sun was in it's last few minutes. I looked at James face. he was staring at the sunset, worry painted on hiis face. What was he worried about? he'd noticed me watching him, and our eyes locked. I leaned in, yearning to get closer to him, like I'd never wanted before. But now i wanted it more than ever. Just as my lips were going to come in contact with his, he reached out an held my face in between his hands, restraining me.
'You don't want to do that. You'll awaken your w--" my lips crashed on his. His voice had done me in. It was so silky, so much smoother than it had been before. He replied with passion and love. All his love for me was in his kiss, sweet as honey and warm as a candle. She grasped his face and deeped the kiss and his arms wrapped around her waist. Her tounge slipped into his mouth and he gasped at her boldness. probably at the suddeness of the kiss as well.
The sun's colors painted across the sky were in their last moments. The sun hung above the horizon for a few more moments before diving below the hill. Darkness consumed us and I cried out in pain as pain englfed my body. my bones began to crack and a tingling spread accross my skin. my face elongated and I curled up, hoping to stop the pain. No such luck, my cries carried through the forest. The pain faded, and i cracked my eye open and rose to my feet. All four of them. I looked up and locked eyes with a familiar pair of green eyes. They were in a huge wolf, fur midnight black. the wolf, whom i assumed was james, nudged me with it's muzzle, and i turned. he led me to a puddle, where i stared down at myself. i had amber eyes, and snow white fur.
By kissing me, your wolf was awoken.
I looked around for the voice, that seemed to be james'. It had been in my head.
What am i? i sent to him, after I figured it out.
A werewolf, a daughter of two of the very first weres, too. Which is why you still have such great control, although your eyes are still amber, as they are with all new fledglings.
explain.
Turned out my parents had been murdered before they could tell me what I was. Werewolves were not the human beast depicted in tales spun by scottish shepards. They were merely peaceful creature who had been placed under a curse, the curse of immortality. With a side of turning into an animal. But that was at will. For most. For others, the out of control beasts who were seen by humans, they turned only at nights on which the moon was out.
I had extreme control, being decended from firsts. My eyes would still be amber for the first month, the first lunar cycle. I love James, and I didn't get why I hadn't noticed it before.
Weres start the day out not as attractive as they are at night. That was why he had seemingly gotten more attractive. It was strange, but now that i loved him, he always attracted me. Strange. But i'd never been in love, so i couldn't argue.
"I love you, James"
"I love you too, Ruby. You're as pretty as one, you know."
I hugged my boyfriend. He was my mate. He had known as a child, and our parents had loved that two children of the firsts were going to end up together, Our bloodline would be stronger. This world was new and strange to me, but i knew he would be with me every step of the way.
