Weekly Snippet...

After stopping by the house to get shoes, they drove over to the meeting hall. It was your typical meeting hall for weddings, birthdays and other such big events. Leslie mused over the thought that the owners had no clue that tonight they were housing a bunch of werebears. The three got out of the black SUV and just stood there, feeling the energy riding the air. Leslie could feel the nervousness and anger that spewed from the plain brownish building.            The Bears usually held their meetings at Scout Island out at the lake, but lately there have been some problems with keeping certain meetings a secret. The sneaky wolves were always sneaking around where they weren’t welcome. She thought Jonathan had actually planned that one out pretty well; send a lesser wolf that wouldn’t be noticed.             The sun had finally sunk leaving a slight fire in the western sky. The moon was new, so tonight would be a very dark night, and most creepy Opposites would be out stalking the night. Leslie shivered rubbing her arms, and the goose bumps. She looked at her two close friends. They were coworkers, roommates, they shared everything. At first she wasn’t sure she would have been able to live with two men, one being a werebear, the other a half-breed. But they worked out fine, each being easy to live with. She wouldn’t trade them for anything as she looked over them, feeling actually sort of protective like a big sister.            “Well let’s get this over with,” Colin said.            “Yeah, Nathan doesn’t like us late,” Patrick said.            The energy had seemed to surround her. Her eyes had gone a dark grey almost black. The two men each stepped back when they noticed. Her skin vibrated with the energy coming from the hall. And then calm came over them, a new power, Nathan’s power. Like a fatherly hand smoothing all his bears anxiety and fears. And it touched her like a sensual hand sliding over naked skin. She shivered, and closed her eyes. She didn’t know why she seemed so in tune with the bears, or why Nathan had such an impact on her.
