((Closed until Nate joins.))
Stacey weaved through the large trees, her eyes locked on the area in front of her so she wouldn`t run into anything. Her hair whipped around her face and her jacket was tight on her torso from the force. Her eyes were rich green, vibrant as a snake`s scales.
Her feet were bare and they pounded against the dift ground rythmatically.
Nate ran slickly around the trees in a swift movement, following Stacey easily. He picked up his pace, moving ahead of her and stopped abruptly in her path, right in front of her. He smiled with his ancient dark eyes,"Hey you,"a smile formed on his face.
Stacey gasped adn well into Nate, surprised by his appearence. "Hey." She said, taking an awkward step back. Her eyes were bright blue.
He also moved a step back,"So what are you doing out here," he asked curiously.
Stacey shrugged. "Running." As she said this, two wolves moved up behind her. One was rusty-red with bright blue eyes and the other was black and grey with amber eyes.
Nate instinctively hunched his back protectively and fangs appeared. He hissed.
Stacey held her arms up defensively. "Hey, now." She said softly. "Kuni." She whispered. The two wolves sat down, their eyes on Nate. The black and grey one was a lot smaller than the red one.
He stood up straighter at the sound of her voice but his fangs never dissappeared. His eyes turning a lighter shade.
"Nate," Stacey warned, pointing to him sharply. "Don`t you dare you anything to them, they won`t hurt either of us."
His white fangs slid in. He sighed,"Fine, but what are they doing here?" He relaxed and began to be curious. He knelt down and put his hand out so they could smell him.
The red wolf, Deshka, growled at Nate`s hand, but the smaller one slowly stepped forward to smell his palm. "I own them." Stacey answered softly.
"I didnt kmow you could have pets in school," he teased. He touched the little one softly, being careful.
The pup whined softly then took another step closer to Nate. That made Stacey laugh. "Wow, he likes you." She smiled at Nate. "And we`re not supposed to have pets."
Nate smiled, never leaving his eyes off of the little puppy. "You know i've never had a pet when i was younger," he said softly.
Stacey`s eyes softened. "Really?" She asked thoughtfully, her eyes spiking purple. The smaller wolf sneezed and sat down. The rust colored one rubbed itself against Stacey`s leg.
"Long story," he replied, never leaving his dark eyes off of the little creature.
Stacey smiled as she watched the salt-and-pepper pup and Nate. Her eyes shone thoughtfully and mischeviously at the same time.
Nate looked up at her and squinted his eyes,"What are you thinking right now?"
Stacey`s smile turned wicked. "That would be telling." She said with a smug smile. She threw up her mental sheild, glad that Nate didn`t probe into other`s thoughts very much.
"I dont like to interfere with peoples thoughts so you can put the shield down. I promise i wont listen," he said sweetly
Stacey snorted. "In your dreams." She looked back to the two wolves, her eyes turning purple.
Nate sighed. And abandoned the lil wolf and in a blur landed on a near tree with a soft wind following after. Nate looked down and slid into a sitting position, laying his back against the tree and one leg dangeling off the branch, the other set on the limp. A leaf appeared in his pale hand, he picked at it has he replied,"You can tell me when your ready then."
Stacey smiled. "You can be so cute when you`re immature." She teased. In a split second, she was sitting on the same high branch. "I was thinking that you`d like to have a pet."
A glimmer of excitement sparkled in his eyes but he never let it hit his lips. He raised an eyebrow,"Hmm..i dont know. Im not a very responisble guy...." he muttered
Stacey smiled. "What are you afraid of? Afraid that you`ll eat it?" She draped her arm over his shoulders. "Come on, I know you wouldn`t do that." She said in an optomistic tone.
Nate shrugged her hand off of his shoulder and slid his hand over hers, holding it. "Its not just that, animals dont seem to like me after awhile...."he didnt finish the sentence
Stacey pulled her arms around Nate so that she was hugging him. "I`m an Animagus. And I like you." She said softly. "And you never tried to eat me like Niles." She said, keeping the same tone but her eyes flashed red for the shortest of moments.
Nate wrapped his arm around her waist. "I wanted to though," he mumbled
"Ah, but you didn`t." Stacey pointed out, leaning away from him and raising a finger.
Nate smiled,"True. i guess im just that good." He removed his hand from her waist.
