Sunlight(Katra)

[Katra Maguire]

Katra was a little shocked when he traced her lips and told her she had a beautiful smile. She had never been told such things before. Not by a male as well. She was used to teasing at someone and then getting teasing back. She had never gotten true affection. In a way...it was scary to her. She didnt know how to act. This was totally out of her range. She hoped she could accomplish this latest task.

Katra knew she was sexy in her own way. She was tall...with long slender legs..and tanned skin that was a rich gold brown color. Her eyes were a dark tawny color that matched her hair. And her hair was long, almost reaching her lower back, and spun out in curls. She also had a skinny waist. So what guy wouldnt like her? But she was always passed up once they noticed her brooding. She needed to live a little.

She blinked though when he picked her up and then she tilted her head back and laughed. "You dont have to carry me. I walk a lot back at home. And I mean a lot. Plus...I shall pay for my own food. Nothing you can say about it." She chuckled and poked him on the nose gently.

Logan tilted his head when she was shocked by his touch. "I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?" Concern crossed his face. He didn't mean to get in her bubble. He was just teasing. He liked her, yes, but he had just gotten to know her. He hoped he would get to know her more. He bit his lip. He really didn't mean to do anything wrong.

He laughed and set her down. He did his best impression at a pouty face. "But I wanted to hold you." He laughed again. He knew he couldn't pull it off but it was worth a try. He sighed and smiled, shaking his head. "If you insist...BUT" he grinned very wide. "This means, another time when you are free, I get to take you out on a date and I pay for all of it." He grinned again. "No matter how much you fight. I will run with the check if I have to." He laughed. He knew she would catch up to him. They were werewolves.

[Katra Maguire]

Katra shook her head. "You didnt do anything wrong....Im just not used to affection like that. I tease the males in my pack back at home..but..none are interested. So things are different. Affection in this manner is a whole new ball game for me. So if I react that way again...its not you. I promise." She said and smiled. She hoped he believed her. It was the truth and she would work on it.

But she was glad when he put her down. She liked having her feet on the ground. But him holding her wasnt so bad. She chuckled and rolled her eyes at his words. He was so intent on buying her food on a date. "A date huh? Well...you can run all you want. I bet I could catch you. Even in heels." She teased him. But she knew it was true. She was very fast. Her whole pack was.

[logan]

Logan smiled and rested his hand on her cheek. "Well, your teasing worked on me. I'm hooked. Now you just need to reel me in." He laughed and moved his hand from her face. She really was something. He was having one of the best times of his life. Katra was really something else. Someone who understood him and teased him instead of making fun of him.

Logan took her hand and intertwined their fingers as he walked down the sidewalk. He laughed. "You probably could. I am told to be quite the clutz." He smiled and watched as the sun shined through her head. She was completely perfect. They had gone about 5 blocks when he saw a small deli. "Ah. Here it is." He opened the door for her and walked in behind her.

It was a small deli. It had about 6 tables. There was a couple in a corner, gooing and gaaing all over each other and an old man reading the newspaper, sipping coffee. Just a place his father would go. He walked them up to a table and pulled her chair back and pushed it back in when she sat down. He sat down next to her. "Maybe I get you started on drinks?" The waitress was a skinny 19 year old human. He saw her look Katra up and down a few times and laughed softly to himself. "I'll have a beer and for you?" He looked over at Katra.

[Katra Maguire]

Katra smiled at his words. Reel him in huh? Well. She had never gone fishing before. So she didnt know how to reel in the prize now that the bair had worked. She did a mental note to learn more about that. But for now she just smiled. "Reel in huh?" She told him though and continued to walk beside him. She liked the feel of his hand in hers. It made her feel wanted and appreciated. Not like she was just some stray mutt.

She raised an eyebrow though when he said he was a clutz. "Not possible. Our kind are graeceful even when we dont want to be." She told him and chuckled. Half the time she was mistaken for a dancer. But she had no dance talent what so ever. She would just go out and dance. Let the music pump into her veins and take her on a spree. But she was still graceful. Even now she could see the human males eyeing her.

She didnt bring this to Logan's attention. She didnt need jealous males at the moment. She could beat them all in a fight because she was trained to fight but she didnt feel like fighting today. And they arrived at the Deli anyway. So why ruin the wonderful moment? She just walked in after he held the door open for her and looked around. The couple in the corner made her chuckle and then she went over to the table and sat down.

She noticed the waitress ,who was very young, look her up and down and she raised an eyebrow. It wasnt a challenge but it gave off a strong signal. Dont mess with me. But she glanced away and looked over the menu. What to eat? She heard Logan give the waitress what he wanted to drink and she smiled when it was her turn. "Same please." She stated simply and watched as the waitress walked away.

[logan]

Logan smiled. "Yes, you need to reel me in. But I guess I can wait." He did a fake sigh when he said guess. He laughed and squeezed her hand lightly. He liked her hand in his. It made him feel wanted. It made him feel like everything was going to be okay. SHE made him feel like everything was gonna be okay.

Logan blushed softly. "Well, I guess I'm just not the best fighter." The last time he fought was with the girl from the pack that changed him. Come to think of it, he hasn't fought since he changed. He watched her look at the couple and he smiled. Maybe someday that could be us. he thought.

Logan looked over the menu. He peeked over the menu every now and than to look at Katra. She was so gorgeous. He sighed softly and smiled. The waitress came over with their drinks. "Are you ready to order?" Logan looked at Katra. "I'll have a pastrami sandwich. And you?"

[Katra Maguire]

Katra was still looking over the menu when the waitress came back with their drinks. She looked like she hardly noticed but she smiled at the girl to make up for her rudeness before. Not that she hadnt deserved it. She didnt like people looking at her like that. She knew she was good looking but she didnt like to have it thrown into her face by jealous stares and glares by other women.

When ever she went to a club she had no peace. If she so much as looked at a guy that another female would want she would get an ear full. Half the time she was taller then to the other girl and so the threats were nothing. Hell...the threats were nothing to her all the time. Katra had many scars from bar fights. But not as many as she did from vampires. She just told people they were bar fights.

Most of the scars from the vampires though were on her wrists and collar bone. They seemed to love to try and bite her and or crush her. They would scratch her with their nails and it would rip their skin. She remembered once when she had been bitten by a vampire. That had hurt like hell. And the venom was poisionous...As she thought back to that she looked at her right hand.

Right on the heel of her palm there was a crecent moon shaped scar. The vampire had taken her by surprise and when she had tried punching him he had grabbed her hand and bit her there. She had immediately screamed in pain and then he left. She was found later by Patrick and they had to get the venom out. She was lucky to be alive. But she shook that off as she realized they were waiting on her.

She smiled sweetly once more and said, "Just the Clam Chowder soup for me please." She then handed the menu back over to the waitress and grabbed the neck of her beer bottle. She knew she probably shouldnt do her trick here in a public place like this but she did anyway. She put the cap of the bottle in her mouth and then used her teeth to push it up and pop it off. The lid fell to the table and she picked it up to stop it from spinning. She blushed slightly and then took a sip.

She placed it back down on the table to her left and then looked at Logan. "So. Tell me more about yourself. Unless thats to straight forward.." She smiled and chuckled. She also glanced towards the couple as they got up and walked out hand in hand. She thought it was so sweet. Sometimes humans were the sweetest race she had ever seen.

[logan]

Logan gave her a questioning look. She seemed to be in her own little world. He looked down at her hand when she did. There was a scar. He bit his lip to keep from asking. It was none of his buisness what she did on her spare time. He was very curious how she got that scar though.

Logan looked away from a second when she asked about his life. "Where do I start?" He laughed and looked at her. "Well, I had a pretty normal childhood. I had a mother and a father and two sisters. I was usually with my sisters. I was very protective of them. Than a few years later my mother died from lung cancer. No one knows how she got it." He looked away for a second. Should he tell her about his sisters. He breathed in and looked at her.

"I dont usually tell people this but I trust you." Logan leaned over and took her hand. "On the day of my mother's funeral, my sister's were kidnapped. Well, I didn't actually know if they were kidnapped but they disappered. But deep down in my gut, I knew someone kidnapped them." He looked down at her hands than back up at her. "I've been looking for them ever since. That's all I do. I turned into a werewolf just so I could have better tracking skills. I caught a trail a while ago but I lost it."

He shook his hand and smiled. "I'm sorry. That must have been depressing. What about you? I want to know about you." He rubbed his thumb over her hand. The waitress came with their food. "Just put them next to us. Thanks." He didn't take his eyes of Katra.

[Katra Maguire]

Katra noticed him looking at the scar on her hand. She would explain that to him a little later. Since she had been so obvious in her trip down memory lane. She did that sometimes and it embarrassed her. She would be in her own little world and she then came back to the present and people gave her a look like she was strange. A weirdo in a world of normal people. But then again..she wasnt normal was she?

She tilted her head slightly though when she noticed his eyes fill with pain and his slight sigh when she asked about him. Maybe that had been the wrong question to ask. She knew that lots of people didnt have nice stories. None of the people in her pack had a nice story. Thats why they were so close. And all of them were linked by that little bit of hatred as well. But mostly by love of one another.

Her eyes saddened though when he explained about his life. His mother getting cancer and there was no explanation why. And then at the funeral his sisters being kidnapped. Him changing to try and find them. It was sweet and yet made her want to cry her eyes out. She had been right. She had never met someone with a good story. "Im sorry. Thats so sad.." She said and held his hand tightly. She wanted to give him as much support as she could.

Then the topic changed to her. Right as the food came to. She glanced at the waitress as she put the food down on the side. The yummy smell of the soup filled her senses and she wanted to dig in. But she owed him some explaining on her side. She chuckled and then sighed as well. "Me?" She started and then she looked back at him. "I dont have a childhood really.

"I had one up until I was eight. And then one night...a vampire came and slaughtered my whole family. My mom....dad...and baby sister. I barely made it out. My alpha of my pack found me and brought me to his place and I grew up with the pack. So I knew about werewolves at that young age. I knew everything. It was like I already was one. At sixteen he changed me and I officially joined the ranks. From there I help kill vampires....My whole pack does..."

She stopped shortly. She hoped he wouldnt hate her because of that. If he liked vampires that would be a shame...he would probably despise her for killing them. But she had been raised to do that. She wasnt going to go against her pack. But she just shook her head and said, "And now recently...I found out that the stupid vampire had kidnapped my sister and changed her. She is a creature i hate. I dont know what to do." She mumbled those last words and then she looked at her hands.

She didnt want to see his reaction. She didnt want to see the hate in his eyes if it was there. That would tear her apart...She hated being hated. She knew the vampires hated her...but that was obvious..she didnt like people she was close to hating her.

[logan]

Logan shook his head and smiled at her. "It's fine, Katra. Really. I'm used to it. Of course I miss my mom and sisters but I know I will find them. I just know it." He squeezed her hand. He saw the kindness in her eyes. It made him like her even more.

Logan bit his lip as she talked. His eyes also filled with sadness. He was silent when she was done. "Oh, Katra. I'm so sorry. To lose your family. But I'm glad you have a pack." He looked to the side. All he had was his dad and his dad didn't even know that he was a werewolf. He looked back at her. "You kill vampires?" He looked oddly. He didn't know you could kill vampires. "I guess all the stories I heard were true. Wow..." He couldn't picture his family being torn apart.

Suddenly, he looked at her. "Katra! Do you think the vampire that killed your sister took my sisters?!" His eyes grew wide. Maybe he had a heading but he shook his head. "Oh god. nevermind. We will talk about this later. I just want to spend time with you." He took a huge bite out of his sandwich and looked the other way. Of course he ruined this date. That's all he did, was ruin things.

[Katra Maguire]

Katra looked back at him and a small smile tugged at her lips. He didnt hate her? And she was amaazed to find sadness in his eyes. She was used to telling her story to her pack members. All of them knew her story. Or at least most of them. She knew that. And she was used to affection from them and sympathy. But never from someone on the outside.

She nodded. "I cried many nights before I could smile again. But the pack helped me. I love them all to death. I would kill anyone who would so much as harm one of my pack. But you dont mess with us anyway." She chuckled and shook her head. She then pulled her soup over to her and took the spoon. She scooped up some of the hot liquid and took a bite. It was delicious.

But she glanced up when he got excited and blinked. The vampire that had killed her sister take his sisters? It was possible. She knew that bastard vampire was horrible. He loved making people miserable. And it seemed to fit his style. She was about to comment and then he looked away. She reached over and turned his chin to look at her.

With a small head tilt she smiled kindly at him. "Stop. I dont think your ruining anything. I know thats what your thinking your doing. Im amazed to have company. And yes. I kill vampires. Thats how I got this scar." She said and held up her hand slightly. "A vampire bit me. And I have a lot more scares where that came from." She shook her head and her hair fell in front of her face.

[logan]

Logan laughed. "It must be great having a pack. I've always wanted one but I have to take care of my father. I'm all he has left." He smiled. He loved his father, he really did but he wanted to be with his own kind. Maybe he time he will be.

Logan's face went emotionless as she told him she got bit by a vampire. "I-It bit you?" He felt anger bubble up in him. Who would do such a thing? Try to kill Katra? "You have more?!" He clenched his fist. Whoever these vampires were he didn't like them, not at all. He immediatly put his hand on Katra's cheek and looked into her eyes. "I'll protect you, Katra. Even if it means my life." He kept staring into her eyes, not wanting to pull away.
