orionthehunted :

What kind of loner were you?

The type that’s Invisible to everyone.

Except bullies, they could see me just fine if it meant making my life miserable.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

People didn’t know I was a werewolf at Durmstrang. There’s still a big bias over there… Although people were pretty jealous of me too.

[He laughs.] Maybe a handful…

So you were the cool, hot kind of loner.

You lucked out.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

[Orion shrugged.] Kind of. No one ever got that close to me… I didn’t mind being a loner. People are a lot more… friendly here.

Was it because you’re a werewolf or because they were jealous?

I doubt there was a shortage of “friendly” people looking for some fun with you in Durmstrang, however.

orionthehunted :

I think it probably still qualifies as a cat fight. [He dropped the topic however when Erica pushed him back against the wall. He opened his eyes when Erica started opening up, taking her hands.] We don’t have to talk about it right now.

We don’t. But now you know why. [She sighed, looking down at their intertwined hands. That had been hard] ... Come on. [She resumed their journey up to the tower] Did you have friends at Durmstrang?

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

I’m a Ravenclaw. I always have to swallow my pride.

Get in some cat fights with her or something?

[She grumbled] You can’t call it a cat fight if she’s a bitch. [Seconds later they reached the entrance to the tower. As they walked in Erica suddenly pushed Orion against the wall, pressing her lips against him] I don’t want to talk about her. [She whispered close to him once she pulled away, sighing] When I joined the pack, I thought we could be friends. I don’t exactly have any girl friends... I tried being nice to her but she just treats me like shit because she’s a jealous bitch and I didn’t get the bite to let people keep treating me like that. So there, now you know.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Oh. Duh. Right. [He shook his head. Wow, Orion, could you get more lame?] Sorry, I was kind of distracted with the whole swallowing my pride and apologizing for being a total dick thing.

So is it just you three in the pack with your Alpha? Whoever that is?

Wow, so you had to swallow your pride? [She shook her head. Boys and their pride. But she smiled, because despite it all, he was being cute] It’ll be worth it... if you let it be.

[Erica thought of Cora, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes] There’s someone else, but I pretend she isn’t. So you’re mostly right.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

[He gives her a curious look.] It’s not even night out, what do we have to look at in the Astronomy Tower?

[She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to look at him with a raised eyebrow] There’s no way you’re this innocent.

[She cleared her throat and kept going, pulling him with her] Anyway, we’re not gonna be looking at anything. It’s just a good place to talk. I go there with Isaac and Boyd sometimes.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Pretty much.

If there’s really nothing I can do right now to help you, then let’s do something else. I was done eating anyway. [She looked for his hand and dragged him with her] Come on. The Astronomy tower must be empty right now.

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

I’ve got a little wizarding DNA test in the works. We’ll see how that even plays out.

So what, we just sit down and wait while that gets done?

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Why would I tell the girl I liked that I have some soul shaking bond with another girl? I know I might not be the brightest Ravenclaw, but I’m not that dumb.

I’ve been generally surrounded by assholes all my life, with very few exceptions. I can expect anything at this point. [And she hadn’t know Orion actually liked her beyond her ridiculously good looks, but she didn’t have to embarrass herself by pointing that out] So... how do I help you with this whole biological family drama? Do you want to do a muggle DNA test?

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Orion blinked, not understanding at first. “Oh?– Oh. Ooohhhh,” he started snickering, covering his mouth. “It, um, yeah, it’s not like that at all.”

Really? You’re going to laugh? [She rolled her eyes] How was I supposed to just guess she was your twin sister?

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

For what?

Did he really just tilt his head? Goodness. He definitely had to be a doggy style kind of guy, “When you told me about that, I was... kind of a bitch about it. You having a “connection” with another girl just... I misunderstood.”

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

“Apparently so. Trying to get some magic paternity test done right now.” He pushed a hand through his hair. “That’s the connection I couldn’t place before.”

Oh... wow. So that’s... okay. I think I owe you an apology...

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Orion laughed weakly. “I don’t even know… Malia and I were separated at birth, apparently because of some great danger. And my mom doesn’t like me looking into who our parents could be. Y’know, normal stuff.”

Erica frowned and her eyes almost jumped out of her sockets, “Woah, hold your unicorns. Malia is your twin sister?”

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

He pulled back from the kiss, smiling. “I wouldn’t expect any less.”

She smiled back at him, laughing a little, “Soo... what’s this whole adopted and twin sister thing? If you can tell me, of course.”

[badgerturnedwolf-blog]

orionthehunted :

Orion laughed weakly. He shouldn’t have expected less. “I… I like you a lot, Erica. I don’t like making promises, but I promise I won’t hurt you like that again.”

“You do?” It was embarrassing how surprised she was, but people didn’t go around telling her they liked her. They couldn’t keep their eyes off of her or resist her, and she loved that, but... seeing Orion so vulnerable and talking about how he felt for her... that was new. And it twisted her stomach around and made her ears feel hot and... well, she had never felt so much like her old self since she got the bite. She wasn’t sure that was a good thing, but it was what it was. She could fix it. She closed the space between them, kissing him again, “I’ll hold you up to that promise, Orion.”
