Inora grinned. "Well alright if you insist." Inside she was screaming like a groupie at an N'sync concert. "Of course you get to see me again, I mean it's not like New York is big or anything." She laughed and shook her head. "But really, we'll see each other again." Her tone grew theatric. "Fate brought us together for a reason Logan...we mustn't fight fate!" She giggled.
"Partying...yes, that we shall have to do a lot of. I'm a party animal! We can go clubbing and dancing and you can come to one of our gigs." She was laying out a plan in her head what they could do this week and that week, people she could introduce him too so he wouldn't feel like a loser, so he could say he knew people. She blushed when he brushed the curl away and ducked her head closer to her chest, pulling the coat up around her face bashfully.
"Good, I'm glad you can appreciate my friendship. Some people just don't realize how valuable an asset I am. I mean...I never have anything to do which means I'm always there, ready for some fun! Just call me up. Oh! That reminds me." She pulled a business card out of her pocket, sadly she did actually have business cards. "Now...I'm not a nerd, but here's my card so you can call me anytime!"

Logan smiled and laughed. "Well, that's good. I don't know what I would do if I didn't see you again." He winked and smiled again. He laughed when she got all dramatic. "You really are a theatrical person I see." He clapped his hand. "Bravo bravo. Encore Encore." He smiled.
Logan laughed as she went on with her plans. She sure knew how to have fun. Parties, gigs..GIGS! "I get to hear you sing? Wow...that would be wonderful!" He smiled a big grin. He had never been to a concert before. He took her card. "Sweet thanks. Um, I actually don't know my number cause I never use it but Im pretty sure you'll see it on collar id."

Inora grinned and stood long enough to take a bow in response to his "bravo"s. "Oh yes, extrememly theatrical. Diva to the core." She fell back onto the bench and shrugged. "Actually not so much. Everytime I'm on stage I freak out."
She was taken aback by his excitement over hearing her offer to come to a gig. "Yes, sadly I will force you to sit through one of my bands gigs. Though depending on what day you come, you might not hear me specifically. I'm just the keyboard player." She smiled as he took the card and nodded. "I always answer my phone, so many numbers I don't know are constantly popping up. I'm just so very popular." She felt another chill run down her spine and scooted closer to him subconciously to try to get a little warmer, as she pulled the coat even tighter around her.

Logan saw her move closer and wrapped a friendly arm around her and smiled. "Better?" He did a fake pout. "But I want to hear you sing." He looked sweetly at her. "Why do you freak out? I bet your great." He squeezed her tightly and smiled.

Inora shrugged but smiled when she felt his arm go around her. "Yup, didn't realize it was going to be so chilly tonight." She laughed at his pout and patted his cheek gently. "Don't worry love, I'm sure if I tell my band mates that there's a boy coming to see me they will make me do my solo. They love to embarass me." She laughed again and shook her head.
"It's not that I don't think I sound good, I just get so embarassed standing in front of all those people and I start thinking, 'what if they don't like our music...what then?' I guess I'm just terrified of getting booed off the stage." She smiled and rubbed her hands up and down her arms so she had something to do with them.

Logan smiled and rubbed her arm with his, trying to keep her warm. "Well, I'm told I'm very warm." He laughed and moved closer to her. "I hope they let you sing. I want to hear you." He grinned and squeezed her shoulder. "I'll love it, Inora. I'm not a picky person."
He laughed and squeezed her again. "If anyone boos you, I'll kick their ass." He grinned and pulled her closer to him. "My goodness, Inora. You are freezing. Can I take you home or would you like to come to my place? My father won't mind." He rubbed her arms.

Inora nodded and huddled against him. "You definately are warm. Nice and cozy." She rested her head on his shoulder and grinned at his words. "They will, I'll make them. And if they try to stop me, I'll just take the mic and freestyle it. Just for you!"
She giggled at his ass-kicking statement and wrapped her arms around him. "Thanks Logan, that means a lot." She shivered when he mentioned how cold she was. "I guess I am kinda more than a little cold." She smiled but looked at the ground nervously. She didn't want to go home and be alone. "Maybe to your place? I don't feel like being alone right now. Thanks Logan." She smiled and laughed when her lips began to tremble from her teeth chattering behind them.

Logan smiled when she rested her head on his shoulder. It felt nice to have someone in his arms. "I'm glad I'm comfortable." He laughed. "I would love to hear a freestyle song from you" He grinned softly. It would mean a lot to him.
Logan nodded. "Of course you can come to my place." He picked her up in his arms. "Okay. This might be a little strange. I'll explain it later. You are getting way to cold." He leaped into the air and started running the minute he hit the ground. He ran as fast as he could. The trees were just blurs as he ran. He held Inora close to him as he run.
He opened the door and slammed it as he got into the house. "Logan?" He heard his father said. "Yeah, it's me, dad. I need to help this girl. She's freezing." He ran up to his room and pulled back his covers and laying Inora on the bed. He smiled down at her and pulled the blankets up on her. "Better?"

She gave a little squeal of surprise when he picked her up and wondered briefly what he meant was going to be strange. Then she could think of nothing because the speed at which they were going was making her dizzy. She closed her eyes and rested her face against him to keep from getting sick.
Once they finally slowed down she opened her eyes and realized they were in a house, his house she guess and was given her answer by the fact that his father was apparently calling to him. She clung to Logan as he carried her to his room but let go when he lay her down. She curled up in a ball to conserve her warmth and smiled at him, teeth chattering. "Getting there."
She looked around his bedroom and then rested her eyes back on him. "So...explain? Even the track stars at my school can't run that fast." She quirked an eyebrow and smiled. "Come on, you can trust me with your secrets."

Logan sat on the bottom of the bed, rubbing her legs with his arms. He smiled up at her. "I'm glad you're getting warmer." His expression went blank. "You were scaring me at how cold you were. I'm usually good at keeping people warm but you were just freezing."
He stiffened when she told him to explain. He didn't know if he wanted to but he told her that he would. He took in a deep breath. "Well, my sisters were kidnapped at my mothers funeral. It killed me inside. I kept trying to track them but I couldn't." He looked at the wall. "I went to this family to ask for help. They were a family...of werewolves." He kept his eyes at the wall. "I asked them to turn me into one so I could have better tracking skills. They did. And they taught me how to track and fight." He closed his eyes. "So, I'm a werewolf now and will be for the rest of my life." He hung his head. She probably thinks Im a monster" I thought.

Inora smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's one of the many problems of mine, I get cold really fast and hardly ever realize it." She nudged him with her toe and smiled. "But I'm feeling better, I promise."
She noticed him stiffen and her smile fell, clearly she was not going to like his explanation. She listened to his story and even sat up to place her hand on his shoulder comfortingly. He had lost his sisters, that's why he didn't want to talk about them. She was feeling nothing but sympathy for him until he said the word werewolf. When that word was mentioned she drew back her hand like she'd been scalded and backed away from him, images of her mother's death flashing through her head.
She kept listening. He was a werewolf, he had willingly become the kind of monster that had killed her mother. She watched him hang his head and instantly knew that she was hurting him. She struggled to overcome her fears and even told her body to move closer to him, but it wasn't listening. She just kept seeing her mother's death, over and over. "You're a...werewolf..." She said, trying to wrap her mind around it. Werewolf, the word haunted her. She was part werewolf, technically but she could only see the race as represented by one person. She drew her knees up to her and a few tears fell from all the memories.

Logan nodded. "Yes, I'm a werewolf." He looked over at her and his eyes widened. "Inora? Are you okay?" She was crying. He reached a hand out to her but pulled it back. He sighed and stood up, leaning against the wall and looking out the window. "It's cause of me...isn't it?" He felt horrible. All he wanted was someone who would understand him.
He turned his head to look at her. "I would never hurt you, Inora. The family taught me how to control myself. I'm barely ever in my wolf form." He looked out the window at his dog playing in the backyard. "The only wolf around her is him." He pointed to his half husky half wolf out the window. He leaned his head against the window and sighed once more.

Inora sighed and wiped away her tears. She was hurting him, that was something she didn't want to do. "No, it's not you Logan." She sighed and listened to his words. "I know you wouldn't hurt me, it's just..." She trailed off, unsure if she was ready to say the words or not. She stood up and walked over to stand in front of him. She touched his arm and then his cheek.
"My mother was a prostitute, a high class prostitute but a prostitute all the same. One of her clients was a werewolf, he was my father. She was very exclusive, only having one client at a time, that's why she was expensive, they basically owned her. He found out she was pregnant and told her what he was and left. My mom kept me but she was terrified I was going to turn out the same way. I didn't, but the man didn't know that. He came back on the night of a full moon to see if I would change or not. I didn't but he did. He went crazy and killed my mother." She was crying again now but she forced her way through it, he needed to know why she was afraid.
"He turned on me after he brutally ripped my mother to shreds in front of me. He took a swipe and gave me this," She lifted her shirt to just under her breasts to show him the scar that ran along her stomach from rib to hip, "but he couldn't kill me. He left me there, alone with my mother's body." She sniffed and wiped her tears away again. "I'm not afraid of you Logan, I'm afraid of that. I'm terrified of the memories of my mother and I'm terrified to know that part of that man is half of me."

Logan stiffened as she walked near him. He sofened when she put her hand on his cheek. He put his hand on hers as she talked. He felt sorry for her. To lose her mother...because of her father. To have no family at all. He wiped her tears away but didn't make a sound, letting her talk.
He pulled her into his arms when she was done talking, running his hand down her hair. "You aren't like that though, Inora. You are sweet and kind and funny. Your dad can't help who he is but you can." He closed his eyes and laid his cheek on the top of her head. "You'll never be like that, Inora. Never."

Inora pressed close against him and let out a soft sob. "I know, but it still scares me. I'm sorry I hurt you earlier Logan. Just know it's not you I'm afraid of okay. Never, ever could I be afraid of you." She wrapped her arms around him and sighed. "I basically ruined our light-hearted fun didn't I?"
She allowed herself to enjoy being held, to enjoy being close to another human being. She was alone so often now and had begun to be really depressed about it. "Thank you Logan, for telling me your secret, and for listening to mine. I haven't been able to tell anyone about my mother, it was helpful to get it out there."
