Decode: Aftermath

Jankie ~Eliptic

After several hours of listening to Alexis’s explanation of ‘the shadow world’ as it was apparently called, Jan went home, now laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling fan watching it spin slowly, doing his best to ignore the almost constant buzzing of his phone as some of his, not as human as he previously thought, friends tried to get a hold of him.

Part of him felt bad for ignoring them, they had just wanted to protect him which he understood, he just needed time, and this new revelation shook his entire world. Vampires, witches, werewolves, fairies, this was supposed to be stuff of fiction but he had seen the burns healing on Jackie’s arms from the sun, Alexis showed him some of his magic and thinking back he can remember so many odd things that now, with this new context, made sense.

One night while in London with Stephanie’s child Lagoona had insisted on not being able to perform a specific night, himself and Rosé had just written off as the other queen being tired and wanting a break, but that wasn’t it, the night they took off had been a full moon.

He had thought it was weird the way Jackie and Gigi reacted when he had cut his finger at Rock’s birthday party, but chalked it up to them being squeamish. It also explained why both of them reacted so strangely when Jan had pointed out the blood on Gigi’s sleeve the other night.

He also recalls going to lend Crystal a necklace but Crystal had dropped as if he’d been burned, well he had been, the necklace was made of iron, Crystal had played it off like he was just clumsy before pretending to get distracted by something else, all while cradling his injured hand, which Jan hadn’t made note of at the time.

So many things now made sense but at the same time now nothing made sense. Alexis had offered Jan an out, witches had memory potions and a vampire could have simply compel him to forget. He could forget, ditch this existential crisis he was having and have his life go back to normal, well at least seemingly normal. Himself not remembering wouldn’t change the truth, all of this was real, so many of his friends weren’t human and it bothered him that that it didn’t bother him. Nothing about any them of changed, except that maybe he’ll be more sympathetic toward dietary restrictions and times of the month now.

Finally rolling over and grabbing his phone

From Lagoona:

Alex told me about what happened with Darius, are you ok??

Let me know if you need anything

I know Alex said he explained things but if you have any questions I can help

Charlie please just let me know if you’re ok

From Brita:

Please answer Lagoona with at least an ok because he’s driving me nuts

6 missed calls from Lagoona

From Lagoona:

Brita is threatening to take my phone, so ill ease up,

1 missed call from Lagoona

From Brita:

Her phone has been confiscated, take your time honey

Jan smiled fondly sending Lagoona purple and blue hearts telling him that he is ok, that he just needs time to adjust.

Jan’s finger then hovered over Jackie’s contact, hesitating a few seconds before hitting call.

It only rang once before he heard “Charlie?”

“Hey Dari.” He responded softly, sensing the anxiety in the sound of Jackie’s voice.

“How… how are you doing?”

“I’m okay.” Jan said honestly “It’s just a lot to take in and definitely not how I expected the night to go.”

“Understandably.” Jackie chuckled.

“I do want you to know that knowing everything now, doesn’t change what I said earlier.”

“It doesn’t?”

“Nope, but if you’re about to go into one of those stereotypical “I’m too dangerous for you” speeches that always happens in vampire fiction, then I will change my mind while also smacking you upside the head.”

“I thought you liked clichés.” Jackie teased. “There are certainly several risks; that have kept me from saying anything sooner. However if you’re willing to take things slow… I am definitely willing to give us a shot, if you are.” Jackie’s voice was soft and Jan could hear the smile in her words.

“Definitely. So tell me, what’s vampire etiquette for a first date?”

“You’re free Friday right?”

“Indeed I am.”

“Well then you find out on Friday.”

“Looking forward to it handsome.”

They ended the call and Jan just smiled up at the ceiling.

A few miles away Jackie laid in bed doing the same thing, the happiness he felt in that moment drowned out all the doubts he had originally had…but he knew they were very much still there.

Blushing (Brita x Aiden) - Eliptic

A/N: It’s your girl Eliptic coming at you with a rare pair! My writing funk has passed… for now, so I’m easing myself back in with a one shot. PS, they’re cis-women in this I’m using drag names with she/her pronouns ~Eliptic

“Are you sure you don’t want to come out with us tonight? I’m the DD, you can drink as much as you want this time.” Brita asked for the thousandth time that day.

Aiden smiled slightly, “I’m sure babe, I’ve got a paper to finish. Order Jan a birthday shot on me.”

Brita gave a small frown, “Okay, but if you’re still awake when I get home, I’m dragging your ass to bed.” She threatened playfully.

“Okay mom.” Aiden teased as Brita kissed her on the cheek before leaving.

Aiden listened as her girlfriends footsteps descended down the hallway, exhaling heavily she switched to the incognito tab that she had been nervously procrastinating opening since she found the page.

How To: A Guide to Your First Time (Lesbian Edition)

Aiden felt her face burn in embarrassment despite being alone in the apartment.  

‘This is completely normal, you were raised in a conservative town that had piss poor, heteronormative sex education that demonized everything you felt inside making you feel guilty for most of your developmental years, but you know better now.’

Aiden centered herself before diving in, switching between several tabs, not even noticing as she slowly sunk into a laying position on the couch until her eyes grew too heavy to keep open.

3 AM

Brita quietly entered the apartment toeing off her shoes, frowning as she saw the dim light of Aiden’s laptop illuminating his boyfriends slouching silhouette.

“I did warn-“Brita cut herself off when she heard her girlfriend snore softly, smiling Brita went to move the computer when she noticed the contents on the screen.

“Oh honey.” Brita whispered to herself, sex had been a topic that Aiden had avoided for the for the first two months of their relationship until at Nicky’s birthday and a game of truth or dare (Jan’s idea) had Aiden shyly confessing that she was a virgin, they had a talk after that made Aiden’s face turn so red Brita thought she would pass out. That ended with Brita reassuring her that there was no pressure or rush and that she would wait for Aiden to be ready. That was over a year ago now and honestly Brita hadn’t thought about it (too often at least) between classes and moving in together, but apparently Aiden had not, judging from the contents on her screen.

Brita smiled fondly, placing the laptop aside before gently shaking Aiden’s shoulder. Aiden responded by grumbling and turning on her side “Fine, get a sore back from the sleeping on the couch again.”

Brita’s voice made Aiden jump, waking up looking in horror between her still very much on laptop and her fondly smiling girlfriend.

“I um.” Aiden blushed, avoiding Brita’s gaze.

Brita smirked sitting down next to Aiden “How’d your paper go babe?” Brita teased

“Don’t laugh,” Aiden pouted.

“Oh baby,” Brita cooed pulling Aiden into a hug “I’m not laughing at you, you’re just too adorable, you took notes!”

“I wanted to at least have some idea of what to do. It was supposed to be a surprise for our anniversary. “Aiden said hiding her face in Brita’s neck “I didn’t want to disappoint you.” He mumbled.

“Impossible.” Brita reassured kissing the top of Aiden’s head. “Although,” Brita pulled Aiden closer “You could have just asked me. ”Aiden shrugged silently buring her burning face in Brita’s shoulder “Now that you’ve completed the written portion, how would you like to take a more hands on lesson.” Brita suggested carefully.

“Well…” Aiden said pulling away slightly “You are a pretty good teacher.” Aiden wrapped her arms around Brita’s neck.

“Would you like to study with me?” Brita smirked, her hands shifting to rest on Aiden’s waist.

“Lead the way.”

Both giggled as Brita picked Aiden up, with minimal struggling, carrying her girlfriend into their room kicking the door shut behind them.

Decode: Ripping the Band Aid Off (Jankie) - Eliptic

‘You can do this. When has Alexis ever steered you wrong.’ Jan thought taking several deep breaths as she stood outside Jackie’s apartment. ‘Just rip the band aid off.’ Taking one more deep breath Jan knocked on the door. A few seconds later the door opened to a confused Jackie.

“Did I forget about something?” Jackie asked clearly going over a mental calendar in his head.

“No, no, I just wanted talk to you, since you’ve been dodging me, I figured this was the best way to do that.”

“I haven’t been dodging you.” Jackie said sounding like he didn’t even believe himself.

“Please.” Jan said, Jackie closed his eyes for second before nodding, stepping out of the way to let Jan enter the apartment. “I know I was really… forward during movie night, I…I just didn’t know how else to… test the waters I guess. So I took a, believe it or not, watered down version of the Rosé approach and clearly I made you uncomfortable-”

“Charlie, breathe.” Jackie said taking hold of his hands “You didn’t make me uncomfortable, at least not the way you’re thinking.” Jackie sighed leading Jan to his couch. “I just didn’t know how to respond. Flirting isn’t something I’m use to and I certainly wasn’t expecting it from you.”

“I’ve been flirting with you for over a year now.” Jan admitted blushing a bit.

“Oh,” Jackie said softly “I uh.” Jackie’s face looked conflicted.

“If you don’t feel the same-“

“I do.” Jackie interrupted, seemingly surprising himself with his declaration.

“Really?” Jan said softly a small smile pulling on his lips as he leaned slightly closer.

“Yeah, but-“

“If you say it’s the age thing I will fight you, cause eight years isn’t that bad.”

“It’s not that, it’s something else.” Jackie said slowly, obviously wrestling with something in his head.

“What is it?”

“Just give a minute.” Jackie got up and started pacing, occasionally muttering something to himself in Farsi.

Jan looked around the room, only now noticing that it was really dark, cause despite the beautiful sunny day New York was having Jackie had all the curtains drawn.

“It’s so gloomy in here,” Jan said getting up and throwing the curtains open, spreading the sunlight across the whole room.

“Wait, don’t!” Jackieyelled stopping suddenly, hissing in pain before ducking into the hallway to find shade.

Jan looked at him blinking slowly “What… what just happened?”

“It’s the something else.” Jackie sighed. “Please close them.” he practically whined.

Jan shut the curtains all the way, once the light was gone Jackie stepped back into the living room looking sheepish.

“So, uh there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.” Jackie said sitting on the arm of the couch. “I’m kind of…I’m kind of a vampire.” Jackie closed his eyes, waiting a few seconds before opening one of them to see if Jan was still there.

“What do you mean you’re ‘kind of a vampire’?”

“Well not kind of,  I am one.”

Jan studied Jackie’s nervous face for a few seconds determining that the other queen was completely serious. “Okay…What?”

“I’m a vampire, see” Jackie showed him his arms that had rapidly healing burns on them.

“You got that when I-“

“Yeah, I normally have my daylight charm on, but I was planning on just having a me day inside, so I haven’t put it on yet.” Jackie gestured shyly to a necklace sitting on his coffee table.

Jan rubbed his temples “I…”

“I know, it’s already a lot, but it’s going to get worse.”

“Pray tell?”

Jackie nervously scratched the back of his neck “I’m not the only one that’s been hiding this from you.”

“You’re saying I have other friends that are secretly vampires?”

“Not just vampires.” He said quietly, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

“Oh my,” Jan’s head was throbbing “I need a minute or several.” He walked toward the door before pausing turning back to Jackie “I’m uh sorry for the whole… burning you thing.”

Jan ran to Alexis’s apartment, panting and out of breath by the time he was knocking on the door.

“Whoa, what are you running from girl?” Alexis said letting him in tossing him some water which Jan gladly accepted.

“Okay, I’m about to sound crazy.”

“Try me.”

“Dari is a vampire. I know, I know that sounds nuts, but I did what you said to do I went to his place to talk to him, it was going well… I think but then I decided to open the curtains cause I thought it was weird that they were closed, but when I did he screamed and he had burns on his arms, that I watched heal instantly and why don’t you looked surprised.” Jan panted watching at Alexis who was just sat on his couch looking slightly guilty. “He also said he wasn’t the only one of my friends that wasn’t human.” Jan said close to hyperventilating.

“Catch your breath baby.” Alexis said carefully.

“I’d rather know what the fuck is going on.”

Alexis nodded, gesturing for Jan to sit. “Dari was telling the truth. He is a vampire and I’m a fae and there’s more of us.” Alexis’s sighed letting down his glamour, his ears turned into a point, mossy green and dark pink streaks appeared in his hair, which got fuller and curler and small vine like tattoos appeared on his face and hands. “You have to understand, we wanted to protect you. Our world isn’t always friendly, especially to humans.”

“Yeah, no I get that, I’ve seen movies.” Jan said trying to calm himself down. “I appreciate it but I’m more concerned with how the fuck this is all real.”

“Then it’s my job is to teach you about this new world one step at a time.”

Decode: A Matter of Time (Jankie) - Eliptic

A week had passed since their movie night, or as Gigi was calling it ‘Jan’s not so subtle attempt at getting into Jackie’s pants’ Jackie had been trying her best to avoid Jan, which was physically easy but Jan would always text her or tag her in something cute online, it was hard for Jackie not to break at the several sad face emojis that Jan sent whenever Jackie came up with an excuse not hang out.

However tonight it was impossible, as they were booked at the same club. Jackie got there early to get ready dragging Gigi with her.

“So am I supposed to be your buffer against Jan or your third wheel?” Gigi asked swinging they’re legs from the table they were sat on, taking a sip from their thermos that Jackie could smell was filled with blood. “I don’t see why you don’t just go for it. Its painfully obviously that she’s into you, just as much as you are to her.”

Jackie clenched his jaw putting down his brush, glancing around the dressing room, making sure it was empty before turning to Gigi. “Charlie is human. I am not going to expose him to this, cause as we both know humans that know about this side tend to get hurt or worse.” Gigi’s face fell “I’m not putting him at risk to myself or any other supernatural beings.”

“So that’s it.” Gigi said hopping off the table “Your afraid you’ll hurt him.”

Jackie pursed his lips, not looking Gigi in the eye. “His blood is very tempting.”

“Sure it’s just his blood?” Gigi teased, Jackie smacked their arm causing blood to slosh out of the open lid of the thermos, “Hey,” Gigi shouted as it spilled on their sleeve.

“You’re fault for leaving it open.” Jackie said turning back to her make as  Gigi made a face at her.

“Hey girlies!” Jan’s said skipping into the dressing room. “How are t- Gigi is that blood.” Jan said concerned looking at the Gigi red stained sleeve

“Oh don’t worry, it isn’t mine.” Jackie had to resist the urge to smack the younger vampire upside their head as Jan’s face grew more concerned.

“It’s mine,” Jackie panicked, now wanting to smack himself “Bit my lip, mouths bleed like crazy.”

“How did it get on Gigi’s shirt?”

“I panicked, I’m not too good around blood so Gigi used the closest thing.” Jan skeptically looked between the two “But I’m okay now.”

“That’s good.” Jan said slowly “So what  looks are we serving tonight?” Jan said thankfully changing the subject as he got his makeup out.

The night went on without any more incidents, the show was going great, until Jackie’s phone buzzed near the end of the night.

‘We need to talk– Alexis’

‘Fuck’ Jackie thought, Lagoona must have told Alexis about Jan flirting with him at the party, so now the fae was probably going to lecture Jackie about self control and how dangerous it would be for Jan to find out the truth and whatever else.

After the final number Jackie parted ways with Gigi and Jan making a half assed age joke as an excuse, which caused Gigi to raise an eyebrow, before making his way to Alexis’s apartment, when he did he noticed that Lagoona and Brita were also there.

“Should I have brought a six pack?” Jackie joked attempting to lessen the tension noticing that the others looked just as confused as he was.

“Good everyone’s here.” Alexis said cheerfully. Everyone just looked at him expectantly “Right, I assume we know why I called you here.”

“Alex, you don’t have to worry about the whole flirting thing-“

“That’s not what I meant.” Alexis interrupted

“It’s not?” the three queens questioned in unison.

“Well not directly at least.” Alexis sighed.

“What do you mean?”

“Jan may not know the truth but he’s still surrounded by it. Two of his closest friends are werewolves, I’m a fae and the man he’s fallen for is a vampire, and that doesn’t even cover the other 80% of his friendship circle. The boy attracts the supernatural like a god damn magnet, It’s really only a matter of time until he finds out.“

“I don’t know about you but when I was human, my first thought when my friends were acting weird wasn’t ‘oh they must not be human.” Brita said looking at Alexis still confused.

“Obviously, but Charlie is smart and nosy. He’ll put it together eventually.”

“What are you saying?” Lagoona asked.

“I’m saying we can wait until he potentially puts himself in danger trying to figure things out for himself or we can tell him.”

They all looked at Alexis like he’d grown an extra head.

“You’re joking.” Brita said after awhile “That’s still putting him in danger.”

“Maybe not.” Alexis said shaking his head “Knowledge is power, knowing what he’s facing could help him.”Alexis paused  looking at Lagoona “And Rosé.”

“You’ve always been part of the shadow world, you don’t know what it’s like to find it, especially as a human. Jackie and I were when we learned about it and look at us now.” Lagoona snapped.

“Our circumstances weren’t theirs.” Jackie added quietly “They wouldn’t be surrounded by the same toxicity we were.” Jackie sighed “But like you said Jan is nosy, Rosé too, they wouldn’t be satisfied just being in the loop. They’re going to want to understand it, which could get them hurt.”

“I never said it would be easy, but they have a right to know the truth.”

“You’re the one who originally told us to keep it from them.”

“I know, but that was when it was just us four keeping it from them. Now it just feels like something is wants them to know.”

“What tree told you that?”

Alexis rolled his eyes “Something draws the people of the shadow world to them, especially Jan, I mean what were the odds that he was the only human on season twelve?”

“That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.” Jackie said picking at his acrylics “I had people drawn to me when I was human, and we know how that story ended.” The room fell silent. “Sometimes ignorance is bliss.”

“I just can’t shake the feeling that something or someone else is going to do it if we don’t.” Alexis said defeated slouching on the couch. “Then we would have no control over what happens to them.”

Decode: Movie Night (Jankie) - Eliptic

So this is my most recent brain child, this will be a series, I’m super excited about it, so if you want you can also read it on my AO3 I’m ElipticSea on there, things will get posted the same time they get submitted so parts will be there first. While I’m self promoing I also have a side blog @artificialeliptic, come interact with me xoxo ~Eliptic

The whole thing had been Jan’s idea, of course it was. It wasn’t like it was a crazy plan, all the season twelve girls happened to be in New York the same weekend so why not stuff all twelve of them into Jan’s tiny apartment for a movie night. It really shouldn’t make Jackie this nervous, he’d been to Jan’s apartment dozens of times to work on projects or to get ready for gigs together, but recently Jackie’s feelings had changed, he had always been fond of Jan but since the show they had spent a lot more time together and got to know each other better.

But Jackie knew better than to pursue these feelings, Jan was human, Jackie was a vampire and he was not going to drag Jan into his world. In fact he and the other queens made an agreement to protect Jan from their world, given that it was an absurdly large number of Jan’s friends that where keeping the same secret from him.

“I know you don’t need to breathe but like breathe girl.” Gigi said chuckling as they watched Jackie change shirts for the hundredth time.

“Shut up,” Jackie huffed, clipping his suspenders in place “It’s just a crush, I’ll get over it.”

“Sure Jan,” Gigi teased, quickly dodging as Jackie threw a pillow at them. “Well if you’re done stalling, let’s go.” Gigi disappeared in a blur, presumably to Jan’s apartment. Jackie sighed looking himself over in the mirror one last time before doing the same.

Jackie skid to halt in the alley next to Jan’s building where Gigi was leaning against the brick picking at her nails.

“Took you long enough old man.”

Jackie rolled his eyes going ahead into the building, it only took a few minutes to find Jan’s apartment as he heard singing from the moment they entered the building, Lagoona and Rosé were obviously already there. It took six knocks before the three part harmony became two as Jan opened the door excitedly.

“Jackie! Gigi!” She yelled happily hugging both of them and kissing Jackie on the cheek causing Jackie to blush and Gigi to smirk teasingly over Jan’s shoulder. “Welcome to the party! And don’t worry  about my neighbors, they are very use to all sorts of noise coming from mine.”

“All sorts?” Gigi said suggestively.

Jan just giggled coyly “We’ve got snacks and drinks, Brita said she’d pick up the pizza and karaoke is optional but greatly encouraged.”

“As if Stefanie’s Children are gonna let anybody else have the mic.” Jackie teased nudging Jan with her elbow.

“Can you blame us.” Lagoona said from the couch, miming flipping his hair. Before making serious eye contact with Jackie, tilting her head toward Gigi. Showing some concern about the younger vampire, Jackie made a gesture that told the werewolf that everything was fine.

“Jacqueline,” Jan said coming over with a drink, “Rum and coke, right?.”

“Hey where’s my table service Jannifer?” Gigi said in mock offence.

“You know where I keep things, get it yourself.”

“Favoritism.” Gigi joked heading into the kitchen.

“Besides she is the Persian Princess, it only makes sense.” Jan said to Gigi while smiling at Jackie who chuckled to cover his nerves taking the glass from Jan,

“Just bone already.” He heard Rosé whisper to Lagoona who stifled a laughed, before giving Jackie a sympathetic look.

“Where are the rest of these bitches? I wanna get my movie on.” Jackie asked changing the subject.

“Should be here soon,” Jan said looking at her phone “No one’s told me they aren’t coming. Just fashionably late, as usual.”

“The fashionable aspect is questionable for some of them.” Gigi quipped.

“Telling Nicky you said that.” Jackie teased, Gigi looked a genuinely scared for a second before exaggerating it getting laughs from everyone.

Slowly but surely everyone joined them, Jackie just sat on the couch watching Jan.

“Girl,” Brita said shaking her out of her daze “You’ve got it bad.”

Jackie sighed miserably “I know.”

Once the catching up had settled down everyone gathered around the couches and Jan started the movie before squeezing next to Jackie on the couch. Jackie vaguely registered that Jan had chosen his favorite movie but all he could focus on was Jan as he snuggled in close. If his heart could beat it would be racing, the smell was heavenly, he wanted nothing more than to throw the younger queen in bed and sink his fangs into Jan’s neck.

“God, your hands are cold.” Jan said as their hands bumped, he wrapped Jackie’s hands up in his palms. “You must be freezing!”

“Oh,” Jackie said “I’ve just got bad circulation. I’m fine.” She tried to reassure.

“Come here.” Jan somehow pulled them closer together tugging a blanket away from Dahlia, who had already fallen asleep, to cover them both before lifting their joined hands pressing warm kisses to Jackie’s icy fingertips.

“No undercover hand jobs Jannifer.” Lagoona spoke up watching from the other end of the couch.

“Not with y’all here.” Jan responded sticking her tongue out.

Jackie felt like he was going to explode, glancing at Brita who was fighting the urge to laugh as to not wake the sleeping Aiden resting on his shoulder.

Jan settled back his head leaning on Jackie’s shoulder, keeping their hands joined. Well Jackie certainly felt a lot warmer now.

Decode: (Drag) Mother Knows Best (Jankie) - Eliptic

Alexis watched as Jan sat quietly stoning a garment they were making for a new mother – daughter number they were working on. Usually Jan would talk his ear off or they’d annoy his neighbors by breaking out into a duet of some form, but today Jan had barely said a word, only responding with a nod or with one word answers.

“Okay,” Alexis broke the silence after awhile. “Talk to mama, what’s wrong?”

Jan looked up at him just shaking his head “Nothing, I’m just tired, didn’t sleep well.”

“I know you were posting on twitter at two in the morning, but you always do that. So something is clearly bothering you.”

Jan sighed heavily “I think I did something stupid.”

“What kind of stupid?”

“I took Rosé’s advice. I was probably too forward with Jackie and now he’s avoiding me.”

Alexis’s heart hurt at the sadness in Jan’s voice “Are you sure he’s not just busy?”

“I’m sure, we had a gig together the other night and he would barely even looked at me. I was going to apologize after the show but he ducked out early.” Jan sighed resuming her work “I really like him and I totally fucked it up.”

“Have you tried calling him?”

“Of course I have, he doesn’t answer then a few minutes I get a text saying he’s in the middle of something and he’ll call me back when he’s done but he never does. He takes forever to text back, sometimes he doesn’t even do that.”

Alexis was quite for a moment “You could always go to his apartment. Can’t ignore you when it’s just the two of you.”

“Sounds a bit stalker like.”

“Just go over and say you’re peace, then the ball is in his court and you can stop torturing yourself.”

“But-“

“No buts, rip the band aid off and I’ll be waiting with a shit ton of ice cream if it goes badly.”

Jan sighed again “Okay, but I’m not going until Friday, that’s when Gigi goes back to LA.”

“Good girl.” Alexis said pulling Jan into a hug.

Blu's Moon (Blu x Cheryl) - Eliptic

AN: I’m back, back, back from the dead (for the most part least, I obviously have a lot of free time at the moment) We don’t have enough stories about the amazing cast of drag race UK, so fuck it I’ll do it myself~ Eliptic 

TW: Blood, mentions of violence, description of injuries

Cheryl had just finish securing her basement when she heard a rapid banging on her front door.

“What the fuck is-“ the words died in her mouth as she saw a heavily bleeding Blu being carried  by a frantic looking Crystal and an equally distressed Divina, Cheryl immediately moved ushering them inside.

“We didn’t where else to take her.” Crystal said shakily laying a half conscious Blu on the sofa.

“A wolf came out of nowhere,” Divina explained running back over with a towel to put pressure on Blu’s bleeding side. It was then Cheryl noticed the witches were also bleeding from various scratches and had fresh bruises forming.

“It- it’s too early, the moon isn’t in position yet.” Cheryl said panicked while dabbing at some smaller but just as deep wounds, Blu groaned trying to turn toward her but Divina held her in place.

“Well it certainly wasn’t a normal wolf.” Crystal said still shaking. “Its eyes were glowing and one scratch made our magic useless against it.”

“It might have been feral, turned as soon as the sunset.” Divina theorized

“Or just an asshole.” Crystal said bitterly.

“Chez?” Blu slurred, eyes opening just enough to look at Cheryl.

“Hey babes.” Cheryl said softly wiping some blood off Blu’s forehead

“Hurts.” Blu croaked eyes going glassy.

“What do we do?’ Crystal said looking to Cheryl.

She bit her lip looking at the clock. “Help me get her to the basement. The moon will be in position soon, the closer it gets the faster she’ll heal. By morning she’ll be fine and I’ll have a fuck ton of explaining to do.” The other two nodded, gently lifting Blu as Cheryl led them to her den. “Go, I’ll call you tomorrow.” She said once Blu was laid out on her make shift bed

Divina and Crystal left, leaving her alone with Blu, who started to shifting uncomfortably though Cheryl could tell she was still incoherent.

Taking a deep breath to fight off some tears, Cheryl peeled the remains of Blu’s shirt off, revealing the deep bite that went from the middle of Blu’s waist to just under her hip. It was still bleeding but it had started to slow down. Cheryl felt white hot rage flood her body, causing her own body to lurch, eyes glowing yellow.  

“Not now.” She growled to herself, regaining control

“Chez?” Blu said again voice a little stronger, as scratches on her neck stitched themselves closed.

“I’m right here.” Cheryl said barely managing to keep her voice steady as she took hold of one of Blu’s hands.

“What ha-“ Blu froze as her other hand subconsciously went to her wounded side. “What?” her breathing became panicked.

“You’re going to be okay.” Cheryl said smoothing Blu’s hair. “Breathe with me.” She said gesturing for her to take deep slow breaths which Blu did her best to follow before her eyes wandered down seeing all of her blood that they were both covered in.

“Cheryl-“ Blu was cut off by a full body shiver.

Cheryl felt it to, glancing up at the clock then back down at Blu’s rapidly healing bite. “Its going to be okay. I know you’re confused and scared and it’s about to hurt a lot, trust me when I say it’ll be okay, we’ll get through this. I’m not going anywhere”

Blu whined, eyes shifting to yellow as she curled in on herself, gripping Cheryl’s hands so tightly it would bruise.

“I know sweetie,” Cheryl hugged Blu close as she shook, “I know.” She whispered, her own eyes changing as she fought off the moons effects.

Cheryl only let go when Blu started convulsing, bones cracking and reforming, skin tearing, her scream turning into a howl as in Blu’s places laid a very confused sandy blonde wolf looking around the room, growling when its eyes found Cheryl.

Cheryl put her head down but kept her eyes locked with Blu’s, the wolf stared at her quizzically but cautiously, sniffing her while moving slightly closer, she put a gentle hand on Blu’s muzzle and the wolf nuzzled her hand.

“I’m not going anywhere.” Cheryl whispered before lurching forward, her own body transforming painfully.

In The Morning

Cheryl woke slowly, every part of her body ached for her to stay sleep until she heard a soft yet familiar snore. Her eyes snapped open look at Blu was passed out close by, surrounded by the fluffy remains of her mattress. Her pale skin was covered in dried blood, Cheryl was too. Despite her body’s protests she went over to the younger girls side, gently placing a hand on her forehead, making sure she didn’t have a fever, which luckily she didn’t. Cheryl knew better than to move her so she just draped a blanket over her.

Cheryl made her way up stairs, scrubbing Blu’s blood of her skin in the kitchen sink and getting dressed before returning to the other girl’s side. Blu was still asleep, and Cheryl figured she would remain that way for most of the day. Blu had curled up under the blanket holding the fabric close to her face, breathing in Cheryl’s scent.

‘Blu made it through the night. I’ll keep you posted.’ She sent a quick text to Crystal and Divina before shutting her phone off.

Cheryl cleaned up the room the best she could without disturbing Blu, then she just sat next to Blu, watching her chest rise and fall.

It was around 3 in the afternoon when Blu started to stir. Cheryl tensed up as Blu’s eyes slowly fluttered open. Blu looked around confused.

“Cheryl?” she said almost as if she was unsure whether or not she was still dreaming or not.

“Hey babes.” She said softly.

“I don’t under-“ Blu paused looking at her bloody hand “I I thought it was just a nightmare.” Blu hiccupped a few tears escaped down her cheeks.

“As much as I wish it were, it wasn’t.” Cheryl said taking her hand into hers. “Tell me what you remember, I’ll fill in the rest.”

Blu let out a shaky breath “Crystal, Divina and I we were walking back from dress rehearsal, it  ran late cause Charlie threw in a few changes and… and then we heard a dog growling from one of the yards… but it wasn’t a, a dog.” Tears started coming faster now “It pounced on me, I tried to get away but it sunk it teeth in, it, it mostly goes fuzzy after that, but I remember seeing you then I felt like I was fire then it all goes dark again.” Blu was shaking, looking up at Cheryl.

Cheryl’s heart broke, “Remember when you asked me about the scar on me leg.” Blu nodded, “And I said it was cause I got bit by a dog as a kid, that last bit wasn’t entirely true. I got attacked, like you were. This is gonna sound mental, but the wolf that attacked you last night was a werewolf, and the fire you felt was… you turning.”

“Into a… werewolf.” Blu said testing the waters.

“Yes.”

“And you’re one too?”

“Yes.” Blu was silent. “I know this is very overwhelming-“

“This is insane.” Blu interrupted “But I, I trust you.”

Cheryl pulled Blu into a tight hug, the dam burst both girls sobbing into each other’s shoulder.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you, but I promise you, I’m not going anywhere.”

“I know.”
