The New Kid in School (Open)

[Prowl]

Cartrer was still feeling uneasy. The way Perrin had been looking at him made him feel like one feels in interragation at the police department. It wasn't a good feeling. "That's fine," he said. "We can save that for another time." He scuffed his foot against the ground nervously. Something just didn't feel right. That's when he heard it. Perrin's stomach growled. Normally, one wouldn't pick it up. Carter was concentration on Perrin so much, he heard. Oh snap! he thought. The werewolf in him is hungry! And I'm lunch! He tried desperately to calm himself down. He knew animals, even mythological ones, could smell fear. And he had a lot of fear that should be released. He tried to think of something to do. One would be stay in public. Perrin wouldn't risk hunting his prey (he tried to not to think me) where he could be seen. He also was worried about being attacked in a private, closed envirement, where his smell would be stuck in. It had a chance to blow away in the air. He took a deep breath, calming himself. He looked at his friend again. He couldn't imagine being harmed by him, even though he could easily invision him with fur and long teeth. It just seemed naturaly for Perrin. We can work on that later, he told himself. Right now, we need Perrin to think human, not the wolf that imagines me as an all you can eat buffet. "So, is this your first day?" he asked, changing the subject again. He now knew how those police people felt that negotiated with hostage takers. It was a nerve-wracking experience choosing the right words. Carter wasn't book smart. Figuring out Perrin's secret was just pure luck. He was street-smart though. He could read people and figure out ways to manipulate them pretty good. He was also sneaky. He would need all his skills in order to survive his first day of school in a town with werewolves.

"Yes, I am guessing the same of you, correct?", Perrin went straight in with Carter's question, eager to move away from ay subjects involving "local myths" and that "rubbish". Yah, you may have moved on, but I'M still hungry. And no doubt you are too, grinned his lupine side. Perrin conjured up a mental image of beating the irritating voice out of his head with a long stick and plenty of classical music. It hated classical music (he also did as a human, but wouldn't let that thought drift over to his lupine side). The lupine half of him enjoyed heavy metal and rock, they inspire "good" wolfish thoughts. Perrin felt the hunger gnawing at him like a wolf on a bone. He would have to get out of here soon, before his lupine side took over and decided everybody in the vicentcy was fair game and most certainly edible. A plump deer would do nicely, his lupine side interjected. Shut up, his human side replied, you will have to make do with that mush they call "canned foods".

Perrin attempted to ignore the annoying comments that cans were so difficult to open with paws, and focused his eyes on Carter's face. He tried softening his tight expression slightly, but to little avail. His facial muscles appeared set how they were, evidently he had lost control there. Great, what next?, he thought drily, how about the power of rational thought? He almost rolled his eyes at this. Dont give me ideas!, a lupine voice warned him. It must be nice, he reasoned, not be accompanied in your own head with a sadistic side of yourself that wants to turn every other person into lunch and occasionally gets their wish when they take over. Which, at the rate he was going, could be soon. Must learn more self control, he told himself, attempting once more to block out any side comments that at least this school would be brimming with easy prey.

ooc: I'll post soon, I promise. I just need insipiration.

ooc: Do you want to continue this on 2.0?

bic: "Yep, it's my first day, too," he said. "I hope they don't put us in front of the class and introduce us. I hate that." Carter was shocked at how much easier it was to talk with Perrin, once he knew the truth about him. Before that, it was all about figuring out the secret. Now, they could just talk about anything. At least, anything that would keep Perrin in control of himself. That would be difficult, but yet, it would be normal. How he craved normality. His life had been anything but normal, but at least it wasn't paranormal. He sighed, trying to stay in the present, and not the past. "So, any plans for this weekend? I was thinking of checking the town out, getting to know the lay of the land. How about you?" he said, keeping the conversation going.

((Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted me to move this all over (I'll just put it on the same post) so we can continue.))

Perrin snorted at the first. They better not, an icy feeling crept over him as his lupine side side commented. Or they'll find themselves part of the menu! He let out an involuntary shudder.

"I hope they don't either. They may find themselves some trouble there," he chuckled slightly. Actually, commented his human side,I'm a bit hungry too. I wouldn't fancy some decent, edible food right now. The voice chuckled appreciatively at the thought, emphasizing the word 'edible'. Perrin could feel the panic rising. He had to control it, he was hungry. But not that hungry!!, he told himself loudly.

He managed to compose himself in time for Carter's second comment.

"Th-this weekend? Oh, I'm......", he struggled to remember exactly what he was doing, under the stres of controlling his primeval urge to jump at Carter and devour him. Going hiking, supplied his lupine side. "Going hiking-" For food"-for foo- I mean just the view." Oh bravo, he said disparagingly to himself, Ha ha ha. Clever slipping that in. He could almost feel his lupine side smiling triumphantly. Control. Control. Control.
