The edge of the Preserve, near the school entrance, Tuesday mid-morning

Red had been hunting-- the large fluffy things, and a few deer-- and had been following one of the fluffy things' tracks when suddenly, everything blinked. And when she looked around everything was-- well, it still looked the same.

But it definitely didn't smell the same. Everything now smelled much, much cleaner.

What had happened?

[open, and Red is here from the Medieval 1400's Fandom]

And of course Derek was going for a jog, as per usual this morning. Which meant he paused, scenting the air before heading to where the new werewolf in town was.

Red smelled the other werewolf before she saw him. And held off on putting an arrow to her bow, because that wasn't how she wanted to be greeted, so...

But she did have her bow in hand, with her back to a tree, as the werewolf's scent got closer.

"Hello?" She looked around, jaw set. "I know you're there."
justlurkinghere: (bitch I am adorable)

"Not really hiding," Derek replied, stepping out into the open.

Red relaxed a little at the lack of mind games. This was a better greeting than the last one from a fellow werewolf.

"Good. I'm really no good at that game. It's always over too fast." She sized him up, biting her lip. "I'm Red."
justlurkinghere: (you don't say)

"Wow, you look a lot like my sister," Derek said, eyebrows going up. Because if there was one constant with the universe, it was those eyebrows. "Derek."

Another tiny increment of relaxation, and Red took a step forward this time, smiling. "Really? I wish I had a brother." She huffed out a breath, which reminded her-- "Everything smells different today. I noticed it as soon as I was clear of the forest."

Derek inhaled, looking at her clothing. "Are you new here?"

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I've been here almost a year." She fiddled with the bow to give her hands something to do. "I hunt for food in the Preserve, and sell it in the markets. But today it smells..." She took another breath, looking perplexed. "Cleaner? Less like people?" And something that tickled a little and made her want to sneeze, like smoke in the air, a little.
justlurkinghere: (eyebrow liftin')

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. That's new," Derek replied slowly. Because he was the normal one here. Somehow. "I think you might be in the wrong place."

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Wrong place? This isn't Fandom Island?" Red clutched her bow a little harder, alarmed. "How would-- is this like going over the Causeway, and everything is strange?"

"Maybe?" He didn't really have that trouble when he crossed over it, though. "But it's Fandom. We just don't have anyplace that buys hunted meat."

Unless the burger place was shadier than suspected...

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"But!" No, Red didn't have anything to follow that up with. She gave the woods behind her a glance, then forward, unsure what to do.

"Maybe I can find my way back. There was this -- this moment, where everything just went hazy, maybe...?" Granny would be shaking her finger at her, for going off a path and exploring again.

justlurkinghere: (that's a terrible idea)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"We could try the causeway," Derek suggested. Because this one was helpful.

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. Right." That would probably work better than finding a blink that she hadn't paid attention to at the time, yes.

"Thank you. This is kind of disorienting." And scary, did she mention that?
justlurkinghere: (yeah no)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"It's fine," Derek replied softly. "It was weird when I first arrived here too."

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Red nodded, obscurely comforted, and followed him further out of the woods. "How long have you been here? If this isn't my place... There aren't any other werewolves on the Island. I would know by now."
justlurkinghere: (actual puppy Derek Hale)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Almost two years now," Derek replied. "There's one other werewolf here. I'm sure he'll be just as happy to help you as I am."

As long as he stayed a werewolf. Damn AUs!

[identity profile] wolfinthehood.livejournal.com 2014-03-19 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that could be a problem.

Red gave him a brilliant smile, walking a little faster. "There aren't any other werewolves around where I'm originally from, either. They've been in hiding a long time. So it's-- really wonderful, to meet someone else."

Who wouldn't have a reason to ask her to choose between her best friend and her mother, either.
justlurkinghere: (smiling like I'm not a serial killer)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"If stay, I could always ask my mother to come out for a visit," Derek suggested. "Everyone except my dad is like us."

"Really?" Red beamed at him, then paused to take a sniff of the air. "Different, definitely different here. My Granny--" She paused, then said, "Well. She's back home. She's like me. But she's getting old, so..."
justlurkinghere: (Default)

[personal profile] justlurkinghere 2014-03-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"We'll try to get you back to her," Derek promised seriously. "Don't worry."
