《One bite》2.
Advertisement
The crew all headed into school to their first class. They got lucky that they all have algebra II first period together and got to pick their seats. The tables were set in groups of four. Beca and Chloe sat together across from Stacie and Aubrey. Then the table to their right had Jesse and Benji together across from Emily and Amy. They were all close enough to talk to each other still without shouting.
"So Bree how was your night last night?" Chloe asked smiling.
As those two started talking, Stacie gave Beca a look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Beca asked.
"Bit by bugs? Really? You think I'm that stupid to not realize that was a lie?" Stacie asked and Beca froze.
"I-It wasn't a lie" Beca tried to defend but failed.
"Yeah and I'm a virgin" Stacie said rolling her eyes.
Beca sighed knowing it was useless to try and argue Stacie. The two have known each other since kindergarten. They knew each other better than they know themselves. If Chloe wasn't around, Stacie would definitely be Beca's best friend.
"Fine, I was bite by a wolf" Beca whispered as she leaned closer to Stacie.
"What?!" Stacie screeched, attracting attention to them.
"Shhh! I don't want people knowing!" Beca whispered harshly.
"Are you okay?!" Stacie asked panicked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Chloe cleaned it and took care of it last night once we got home." Beca told her sitting back in her chair.
"I knew you had a secret" she said as the teacher walked in.
"Good morning class" Mr. Dallas said.
Their was a muffled 'morning' mumbled through out the class as he turned to the board to start. About half way through the class Beca smiled as she felt Chloe slid her hand into hers.
Chloe was a very affectionate person, especially to Beca. She liked holding the small brunettes hand when she was nervous or stress. It happened a lot in math considering Chloe was horrible at it. The only issue was the occasional comments they got when people noticed, mainly Bumper and Tom.
"Mitchell when are you just going to admit your gay" Tom said with a small grin.
"Why would I admit something that wasn't true?" Beca shot back with a smirk.
The teacher had stepped out of the class, leaving them on their own.
"Come on, everyone knows you're the antisocial girl who hates any form a physical contact yet, you hold Chloe's hand anytime you get" He said smugly.
"Well see that's where your wrong, I don't hate physical contact. I just hate people I don't like or don't know touching me. My friends hug me all the time, you just don't see it" Beca told him, leaning back in her chair.
"But do you hold hands and cuddle with all your friends? I don't think you do so just admit you've got the hots for Beale and we can be done" he said crossing his arms.
"Chloe's just a very affectionate person. She shows her liking for people by touching them. Oh and even though it none of your business, Jesse and I always cuddled on the couch when watching movies" she said.
"Just admit your a dyke" he sneered.
"Why?" Beca asked.
"Because we all know you are! Just fucking admit it" Tom said.
Before Beca could answer the teacher walked back in. Everyone quieted down upon his arrival and continued working. Chloe could sense how worked up the brunette got. She soothingly rubbed small circles on the back of her hand with her thumb.

Once the bell finally rang, Beca, Chloe and Jesse made their way to US history while the rest went to English and science.
"Hey Bec can I talk to you for a sec before heading in?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah sure" She said stopping and turning to him, Chloe as well.
"Can we talk alone?" He asked and Beca turned to Chloe.
"I'll see you in there" she said with a smile as the redhead nodded and left, "what's up?"
"You were bitten by a wolf weren't you?" Jesse asked and Beca's eyes widened.
"How did you know that?" Beca asked.
"Because over the summer I was too" Jesse started.
"Wait Wait Wait you were bit by a wolf and never told me?!" She asked shocked.
"The thing was it wasn't a normal wolf" Jesse said scratching the back of his head.
"What do you mean 'not a normal wolf'" Beca asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Remember Uncle Jason?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah he died two years ago after an accident in the woods, no one ever found his body" Beca said.
"Yeah well he didn't die. He was bitten, like you and me. He was bitten and turned by a werewolf. I know it sounds crazy and you probably don't believe me, hell I didn't believe it either at first but it's true." Jesse quickly rambled out.
"You're right. I don't fully believe you. How would you even know about our uncle?" Beca asked.
"Because he's the one who changed me, he told me he wanted to change you too. He said he wanted us to experience the beauty of being a wolf without needing to disappear because he's there to help us. Tonight after school, let's go into the woods and I can prove all of this to you" Jesse said but Beca stayed silent.
Can this really be possible? She thought.
Once the bell rang Beca looked at Jesse.
"I'll think about it" she said as they entered the room.
Beca took her seat at the back next to Chloe and tried to listen to the teacher but failed. Chloe also tried talking to her but Beca just couldn't focus on either of them. She was caught up in her little bubble before the teacher called her name, snapping her out of her trance.
"Beca, Care to tell me what the government did in order to help African Americans in the south after the civil war?" He asked.
"They passed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment. Those admendments abolished slavery, gave black men the right to vote and also gave blacks that were born on America soil all the protections citizens get." Beca answered.
"And tell me Miss Mitchell, What did the southerners do to try and cancel out these amendments?" He asked again.
"They introduces the grandfather clause. This clause was that if your grandfather could vote then you didn't have to go through any tests in order to vote. They would give them things like literacy tests which they had to pass in order to vote. This causing most black people the inability to vote" Beca answered again.
"Very good Mitchell. Now I advise you to pay attention" he said and Beca nodded.
As the rest of class pasted, Beca couldn't take her mind off of what Jesse said. Once the bell finally rung, Beca sprang out of her seat into the hall looking for Jesse.

Chloe looked at the seat Beca once occupied. She was confused about the girls behavior. She was perfectly fine until Jesse talked to her, then she got all weird. It wasn't like Beca to ignore her or leave with out her. Every year that they've had classes together Beca's always waited up for her. She's determined to find out what's off with her best friend.
"Jesse!" Beca yelled as she spotted the boy ahead of her.
"What's up Bec?" He asked once she caught up to him.
"I'll go to the woods with you tonight" she said and Jesse smiled.
"Your going to love it Bec, I'll teach you everything you'll need to know and help you through the process. Uncle will too." He said as they reached his class.
"Alright sounds good, see you at lunch loser" she said walking away.
She made her way down to keyboarding class. Beca already could play flawlessly but Chloe asked her to take it with her. Of course Beca agreed so now she found herself waiting in the music room for her favorite redhead. Once Chloe walked in she smiled and motioned to the seat next to her.
"What's up with you?" Chloe asked as she sat down.
Beca furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you mean?" She asked.
"You've been off since history. You kept ignoring me and left without me, you never do that. I could tell there's something going on inside that head" Chloe told her.
Beca sighed knowing she couldn't lie to Chloe, "there's just a lot on my mind at the moment." Beca shrugged as if it was nothing.
"You better not be keeping things from me Mitchell" Chloe threatened.
Before she could reply the teacher walked in and started class.
"Okay so theirs a large number of students in this class and I don't have enough keyboards for all of you. Please raise your hand if you've played before?" He asked and almost half the class raised their hands.
"Great, please split off into partners. Please if you have experience pair up with someone who doesn't." He said.
"Partners?" Chloe asked and Beca smirked.
"I don't know, that girl over their looks like she'd be an amazing piano partner" she said and Chloe smacked her.
"Ow! I was kidding!" Beca yelled rubbing her arm.
"Come on loser let's get set up" Chloe said standing and walking off, leaving Beca to watch her.
Damn she's something special Beca thought with a smile before running to catch up with her.
Third period ended and the pair headed to lunch. Once they got their they went to their table and waited for the rest of the group. Beca sat on the end with Chloe next to her, then Aubrey, then Amy. Across from Beca was Jesse who had Stacie next to him, then Benji and Emily.
"Yo shortstack! I heard you got bit by a wolf"
Amy said causing Beca to go wide eyed.
"Who told you that?" She asked.
"Benji"
"Emily"
"Aubrey"
"Stacie"
"Stacie! I told you that was a secret!" Beca hissed.
"No you told me to be quiet so no one heard. You never said I couldn't tell them" Stacie defended.
"I said I don't want people knowing!" Beca said.
"Sorry, at least it's only our group of friends." Stacie shrugged.
Before Beca could say anything else, she could hear lockers shutting louder than normal. She grabbed her head in pain as she heard conversations from across the room. She didn't know why this was happening. She remembered Jesse saying it was a werewolf that bit her but she didn't want to believe him.
Chloe looked at her best friend concerned. She doesn't know what's happening with the brunette but it's scary. Watching Beca clutch her head in pain wasn't something Chloe liked seeing. She hated when the brunette was in pain. She saw Beca get up and stumbled out of the cafeteria, before she could do anything, Jesse was chasing after her.
"Beca!" Jesse yelled as he ran down the hallways trying to find his sister.
"Jesse" Beca groaned from her place on the floor, still clutching her head.
"Hey it's okay, it's just you body getting use to your new senses" he said kneeling down beside her.
"It hurts like a bitch" Beca mumbled.
"I know. It'll be better tomorrow." He reassured her.
"Can we get out of here?" Beca asked and Jesse hesitated.
"I don't know if we can do that. I mean what will our parents say?" He asked and Beca sighed.
"I don't know if I can make it through last period" she said.
"Just try, if it's unbearable just text me and we'll ditch. Don't take a lot to class okay?" He said and Beca nodded.
The bell rang so the two headed off to class. Beca's last class was chemistry, she had that class with Stacie and Aubrey. She walked in, sat down and sighed.
This is going to be a long class she thought.
Once the final bell rang she bolted out of class to the front of the school where she would meet Jesse.
"Hey Bec!" Chloe said cheerfully, scaring Beca slightly.
"Oh hey Chlo" she said with a smile as she calmed down.
"Want to come over? We can do our homework at the treehouse" Chloe said excitedly.
"Sorry Chlo I've already got plans with Jesse. Maybe tomorrow" she said as Jesse came out.
"Ready Bec?" He asked walking over.
"Yeah Jess. Sorry Chlo I'll see you tomorrow" she said as they both ran off.
"Yeah okay. See ya" Chloe mumbled to herself sadly.
As Jesse and Beca reached the entrance to the woods they slowed to a stop.
"Ready?" Jesse asked looking over to her.
"As I'll ever be" Beca said and they both took off into the forest.
After a few minutes they came up to a clearing. Jesse smiled at Beca before walking to the center.
"I want to show you something" he said and Beca nodded.
Jesse closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning into a wolf. Beca stood their in shock at the black wolf that now took Jesses place.
"Holy shit" she breathed out.
Jesse trotted over to her and licked her face before turning back into his human form.
"Believe me now?" He asked smiling.
"Yeah"

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
