Howling in the Streets

0x5

"So Ally's a nurse?" (Y/N) asked, seemingly unconvinced.

"Yep, exactly. She didn't think it was necessary for you to go to the hospital because it was a simple stitch!" Lauren half guessed.

Lauren had attempted to tell (Y/N) about the supernatural, beginning with how Ally was a healer. Some how (Y/N) translated that to nurse...

"What school did she go to?" (Y/N) asked causing a slight panic to set in. "She, uhhh. Well I mean she's not a certified nurse but she knows what she's doing." Lauren said, scratching the back of her neck.

"....What? Lauren that doesn't even make sense." (Y/N) said confused.

"Well I mean, Ally is the mumma of the group. The healer.... you just have to trust me (Y/N/N)." Lauren said, hoping she would drop it.

"So she's a healer? Like an uncertified doctor or nurse?" (Y/N) asked again causing Lauren to nod as she thought she was finally understanding.

"Yes, yes exactly!" Lauren exclaimed happily.

"So she's like a mum? When you go out and play but you fall over and scrape your knee and you need someone to make it feel better?" She asked again, slightly veering off course again.

"Uhh, kinda. More like the first one but Ally is a mumma. She's a big sweetie and is very protecting of her family." Lauren said, her patience wearing thin after this back and forth conversation that had been going on for nearly half an hour.

"Alright", (Y/N) hummed, thinking she got it. "So if Ally's the mumma of the group what does that make you?" She asked.

"Me? I'm, uhh, the leader." Lauren said. 

"Hold up why does a girl group need a leader?" (Y/N) asked, her face clearly showing her confusion causing Lauren to let out a little laugh. 

"We're not just a girl group..." Lauren mumbled.

"Well then what are you?" (Y/N) pestered causing Laurens brain to go blank. How was she supposed to explain this.

"Well, we're a family... A pack?" She stated as more of a question, looking at (Y/N)'s face for any sign of panic.

"A pack?" She asked causing the green eyed girl to nod her head. 

(Y/N) laughed a little. "You make it sound like your a werewolf or something, but werewolf don't exist so that's not...possible." (Y/N) said, stopping a little at the end as she began to think about it. 

Her eyes, the wolf, the fight in the alleyway, the recurring dreams... the dreams, she didn't have a dream last night. For the first time in nearly 2 years, she didn't dream. There was no wolf, no forest, no snow or glowing eyes. It was peaceful and dreamless. Also the only time she's slept next to.... Lauren.

The panic began to set in, evident on (Y/N)'s face as she began to move out of Laurens reach, standing up and wincing on her leg. 

Lauren immediately grew concerned for the injured girl and stood up with her, causing the Australian to step back in fear. 

(Y/N) began mumbling things, keeping her head low. If you didn't know what was happening and you saw her, you'd think she was a mad women, met to be in a mental institute.

"That's not possible, they don't exist. This is just a weird coincidence and its because of the loss of blood. Yeah that's it, I'm hallucinating." She mumbled as Lauren tried to step forward and comfort her.

"Baby calm down, it's okay. I swear I would never hurt you, I promise. Please just sit down, you're going to rip your stitches." Lauren stated in a calming voice, causing (Y/N) to whip her head up and look at her. 

Fear was plastered on her face causing Lauren to step back a little, upset that she'd done this.

Lauren had thought things were going so well. They were talking, cuddling, flirting, but not anymore. (Y/N) was panicking, her breathing shortening as her chest grew tight.

"I can't breath." She told Lauren as she freaked out. "Lauren I can't breath." She said again as she started to cry. 

(Y/N) had no idea what was going on, she'd never experienced a panic attack before and right now wasn't the best time to. 

Lauren rushed to her side and looked into her eyes as she rubbed the girls shoulders. "Okay, okay, deep breaths (Y/N/N), breath with me." Lauren said, trying to remain calm for (Y/N) but on the inside she was freaking out as well. 

After a few minutes (Y/N)'s breathing started to even out from the erratic small huffs they once were.  Her chest loosening as she felt the blood pumping in her ears. Laurens presence calming her as she leaned into her touch, into her chest seeking warmth and safety. 

"Show me?" (Y/N) whispered into the other girls neck, rubbing her cold nose against the warmth of Laurens neck. 

Lauren shivered at the contact, losing her thoughts for a moment. Quickly regaining them she shook her head. "No." She stated, causing the girl in her arms to look up. 

"Why?" She asked. 

"Because you just had a panic attack at the mere thought of it, I don't even want to think about what seeing it would do to you..." Lauren confessed. 

"Please?" She asked again, "it'll help me understand it. I'm a visual learner." She joked causing lauren to laugh before slowly nodding her head.

"Alright. Not here though, we have to go outside. Last time I shifted in the house Ally smacked me for making a mess", Lauren said, laughing at the memory.

Soon both the girls were outside, the sunlight warming (Y/N) to the bone.

"You promise to have another panic attack or something worse?" Lauren asked concerned.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." (Y/N) said, making an x on her chest before holding up her hand.

"Please no dying, I couldn't deal with it." Lauren said, slightly begging the injured girl.

"Lauren I promise I won't freak out... hopefully." She mumbled the last part. 

It was enough for Lauren as she took off her leather jacket and shoes.

"What are you doing?" (Y/N) asked as she watched Lauren take off her jacket and hand it to her.

"Taking off my jacket? I don't want it to get ripped. This is the third one this month." Lauren said, as if this were daily routine. 

"Alright now remember what you promised me." Lauren said, backing away slightly, giving herself some room so that she wouldn't harm her in the transformation. 

(Y/N) simply nodded her head and waited in anticipation.
