Since coming down with lycanthropy, I've run up against a variety of oddities and freaks of nature. It's like I'm some kind of supernatural magnet or something. I've faced everything from ghosts, poltergeists, and demons. Now I stood face to face with a myth as old as mine.
As the full moon approaches and before I change too much, I enjoy my new senses of sight, smell, and sound. I love going to a night club and watch the colourful auras as they dance and sway on the floor or as they intermingle with each others as couples flirt and tease. And there, standing against the wall across the crowded dance floor was nothing. No, more than nothing. A blackness that did not allow the colourful auras to intermingle or caress. That blackness surrounded a beautiful red head in an equally dark mini dress.
How long we stared at each other I don't know but I eventually broke contact and turned back to the bar. The guy next to me was trying to make small talk but I had tuned him out as I felt, sensed the blackness approaching from behind.
"Shoo fly." The smooth voice told the guy beside me. He looked over his shoulder behind us and then obediently vacated the bar space. My vision caught the cool black aura moving in beside me. I tried to remain calm and stare at the drink in front of me.
"Its been a long time since I met one of your kind." The voice whispered to me.
I turned my head and gazed into the deepest green eyes I've ever seen. I swallowed and answered her "I've never met one of yours."
She smiled. I stared at her red painted lips and at her perfect row of white teeth. She laughed knowing my surprise at not seeing elongated canines. I turned back to my drink, hot at being laughed at.
"Its okay." She said " I get that reaction a lot; from mortals and our kin alike."
She took my hand and turned it palm up. She ran a nail along my life line and followed its two tributaries. "Your aura is so rich and red. So young too." I wondered what my aura must look like as a person can't see their own. And yes, its only been a few years since I felt the powerful change of lycanthropy in me. "Come." She said, turning me around and leading me through the crowd and out the back door.
I breathed deeply once clear of the human crowd, filling my nostrils and senses of the cooler city air. She pulled me down the fire escape and into the alley. "Wait!" I cried. I braced my feet and pulled us to a stop. "Who are you? What do you want?"
She smiled again, her eyes catching the street lights and her red hair shimmering around her head and across her shoulders. I wanted to bury my face in that hair and breath deeply of her but first I had questions.
"My name is Darci." She placed her hands up side my head, pulling me towards her. "And I want you." And then she kissed me, her lips surprisingly warm and inviting. I hesitated but then returned the kiss. My senses kicked up a notch.
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her body close to me. I felt her small breasts tease my larger ones, our hips gently grinding together. This was too weird! I just met her, just learned her name, and yet all fit together like I had known her forever. We stood, toe to toe, kissing and sucking each other lips. We touched and hugged.
