On the line (Private/Mature)

John had expected Katherine to simply return his glance. They seemed to be able to communicate with their eyes fairly well. Instead, what John got was a full visual of everything Katherine was thinking. It started John at first, but not enough to make a scene. "And to think...I called you boring not too long ago.." John sighed mentally. He wasn't sure if she could see..or hear his own thoughts, so he allowed his eyes to do the talking. Katherine seemed to have everything under control, however, John was still worried. He wanted to ask Katherine why the hell she was working with someone who had wanted her dead. Actually, that was only the first question on John's long list of questions. With a deep sigh, John closed his eyes for a moment. Things were indeed becoming more complicated. If Rob suspected Katherine of being a Vampire, he'd pursue his suspicions until they were either confirmed or proven false. "Well...he always did love playing detective.." John muttered while opening his eyes. He looked up into Katherine's and paused for a moment. It seemed she was more worried about their secret being discovered than any possible threat Klaus presented. "Just tell me this...are you planning on running? Cuz...I thought we discussed that already." John's eyes read.

Katherine paid no mind to the little love fest of Loris and John, it made her want to puke up everything she had ever drank or eaten over the last 500 years. She put her cell phone away though and glanced at John when she was acknowledged with a grin but she did not grin back at him, she gave him a tilt of the head and a slight nod to acknowledge him back but she wondered what Loris and John were talking about earlier about their place. Her sensitive hearing picking up every single word they had to say, but she had quite the idea of what they were going to be doing.


Keeping her composure, she noticed the look in John’s eyes; it was a questioning one that was for sure. Katherine knew that Klaus was not trusted by many, but she was not worried about him; she was more upset with Alek than anything or anyone else. Knowing that she had not used one of her powers in a while, she cleared her throat gently and within a second she was in his head. She could not see what he was thinking but she gave him visions to get him to understand and she could speak to him as well.


His name is Klaus. He is an original. He’s my guardian. We met back in the early 1490’s, England. He was quite the charming young man, I fell in love with him till I found out that he was going to kill me so I took off. I’ve been running from him since but recently we’ve come to common grounds… and you’ve met Alek, the big asshole looking to start a war….I’d be careful if I were you John, I’m worried. There could be a war upon us all if we are not careful and it’s becoming difficult with everyone closing in.    she explained to him as she gave him some visuals of when she met Klaus just so he had a better idea of who he was and how he acted.

Alek was at a lost for words. He couldn't believe that Katherine had the gall to speak to him in such a way. That, and the fact that Klaus was being his usual brown-nosing self. The noble vampire watched as his 'future' wife left in the arms of another vampire. Alek was so pissed, that in a fit of rage he slammed his fist into a locker, shattering the door. Klaus he could handle. However, John was a different story completely...

Meanwhile, John's pack all sat down for lunch. As usual, Loris stayed glued to his hip. Among the Lycans, Rob was the only one who refused to eat. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts. "Something wrong?" John asked. When he didn't get a response, he flicked some of his apple sauce onto Rob's face. That woke him up. The older Lycan nearly jumped to his feet. "Ass." He spat. John smiled while offering his brother a napkin. "John..what do you think of Katherine?" Rob asked aloud. Loris' eyes widened a bit and almost immediately shifted her gaze towards John. John's eyes shifted from left to right. "Uh..you mean Brownie? Nothing much really. She's just a fellow student." John shrugged. "Becareful." Rob advised while wiping himself off. John simply shrugged.

After lunch, Loris walked John back to class. They had just arrived inside the classroom when she decided to turn and plant a big juicy kiss on John's lips. This time, John accepted her kiss. "Sooo..you'll think about it?" she asked softly while wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yeah..I think about it." John whispered softly. "Good. Then I'll see you tomorrow hm? At our old place?" Loris asked with a seductive grin. Her claws were gently running down the back of John's neck. John nodded. "Good. Dont keep me waiting. You know how I can be." she giggled. Suddenly, the teacher walked in. It only took a moment for the older man to break up John and Loris' little love fest. Loris released a deep sigh. She blew John a kiss before leaving the classroom. Something about the scent she had smell earlier still bothered her..but for now she'd let it go. She was far too excited to care at the moment.

John released a soft sigh. He closed his eyes and ran his hands through his hair as he moved to take his seat in front of Katherine. They were suppose to act normally..right? John decided to acknowledge her with a simple grin. Once he was in his seat tho, he shot her a glance. "So..thats Alek huh? Who's the other guy?" His eyes read. Like Rob, John didn't trust Klaus either..only his mistrust was based on an entirely different reason

Klaus glanced at Rob and he could not help but to smile at him “yes, blood. It’s what we all here have in our bodies. You know, the red stuff.” He muttered wondering what was running through Rob’s mind right now, but that did not matter at the moment. Right now he needed to take Katherine and speak with her in private before third period started. His eyes flickered to Alek, wondering if he would actually hit Rob but he soon turned his attention to John who had Loris riding on his back as if this was a game. “Oh just a group session, you know… about our feelings and thoughts. Alek here is the one who started all of this. Would you like to join us?” he said pointing at Alek and smirking. He would deal with Alek later when he had a moment but he glanced at Katherine “come on silly girl” he muttered as he studied her facial expression, not sure on how she felt about Loris but he would soon find out.


Katherine could not believe what she was seeing right now, that bitch was on John’s back but she did not dare make any movements or facial expressions that would give away anything. She could of pull that bitch’s throat from her within seconds but she did not need a war on her hands right now; it was the last thing she wanted to start or even finish. She blinked in confusion when she noticed Rob looking at her, it was almost as if she could see his thoughts processing. She watched the group leave, heading into the cafeteria and shutting the doors. All was quiet for a moment before she glanced at Alek “You have done nothing but cause pain and trouble Alek. This is getting stupid! Do you not know how to treat anyone? Do you not know when to apologize because of the mistakes you have made, or the accidents that have occurred? It was a damn accident and you have to make a scene of it because you have this attitude problem. Learn to walk away, learn to be a better man Alek. I’m done, talk to me when you’re done being an asshole about the little things” she said, getting fed up with him. She shook her head and scoffed lightly before walking over to Klaus “Let’s get going.” She whispered.
 




Klaus smirked seeing that Katherine came to her senses, wrapping an arm around her; he took one look at Alek “See you later” he muttered as he pulled Katherine in closer to him and kissed her forehead before heading out of the school. He took her to a small café not far from the school but far enough to let Katherine calm down from all this drama. “Oh Katherine, I’ve really missed you. We have so much to talk about, I’ve already talked to your parents. I’ll be coming to get you after dinner, we need to start planning my love” he whispered into her ear. One hand rubbed her shoulder while the other hand played with her hair carefully, being as gentle as he could with her. He could feel the tension from her body slowly leave, he smirked and placed a kiss on her cheek.



Katherine did not push Klaus away, but she did not return the same love gestures. “I’m so hungry” she whispered as they made it to the café, she ordered a drink with a small sandwich and sat down at a small round table with Klaus. They made small talk, discussing the future but it was not much longer before she had to get back to school. Of course Klaus walked her back to the school and to her third period class. Klaus gently pushed her up against the wall next to the door and grinned “You’re still so beautiful” he whispered and planted a passionate kiss on her soft lips. 

Katherine wrapped her arms around his neck and accepted the kiss but when it broke, she smiled “Don’t forget to bring me a treat when you come over” she whispered to him before kissing his cheek. She unwrapped her arms from his neck as the bell rang and she slipped into the class room, shutting the door behind her before making her way to her seat in the back. Katherine stared at the blackboard for a good minute before grabbing her cell phone and opening it up, going through her contacts she noticed that Klaus added himself “Smart ass” she whispered.

Alek had never been so infuriated! His entire face turned red from ear to ear. The more he heard about 'john' the more he wanted to slit the guy's throat. He hadn't yet made the connection that John might be the boy Katherine was messing around with. However, as she began to describe John as if he were the ideal guy, Alek began to put two and two together. He also found it weird that she was speaking to 'Rob' so politely. Her attitude had practically vanished. Suddenly, Alek seized Katherine by her wrist and yanked her back over to him. "You're not going anywhere. We need to talk." Alek hissed before shifting his eyes up towards Rob. The Stark released a heavy sigh. His fellow pack mates wanted to rip the new kid a new one, but that would've caused Rob unneeded trouble. However, after seeing the way Alek treated Katherine, he too felt the need to bash Alek's face in...even if how he treated Katherine was technically none of his business.

Then, as if on cue, Klaus showed up to stir things up a bit. Alek swore under his breath. He wouldn't ask for help. No, with his pure blood-line, he could easily take on a few humans. Rob turned around. His brow raised as his dark brown eyes settled upon Klaus. Something about the boy...rubbed him the wrong way. Although it was unknown to the Lycans if any vampires attended the school, Rob had concluded that it was highly probable. "Blood you say?" Rob repeated as he turned to fully face Klaus. At that point, he was completely ignoring Alek's presence which pissed the vampire off even more. "Damnit! How dare you!" Alek screamed while releasing Katherine's hand. He drew his fist back, ready to strike Rob from behind.

Suddenly, Alek stopped dead in his tracks. Coming down the hall, with Loris riding playfully on his back, was John. He stood just a few feet behind Klaus. "Whats going on?" he blinked, his eyes shifting between Klaus, Katherine, and his brother. Alek's eyes locked onto John's body. He could smell it! Katherine's scent was all over him, although most of it had been replaced by Loris'. 

Rob closed his eyes. He had his suspicions. Most likely, both Alek and...the student who seemed to know Katherine were vampires. If that was true, Rob wondered if Katherine was a Vampire as well. He turned slightly, giving her a once over. It was possible..but he didn't have any proof. "Lunch is almost over. We're leaving." Rob announced. Despite some grumbling, the other students followed their leader into the cafeteria. John did the same. His brown eyes quickly fell upon Alek. He figured right away that he was the guy Katherine hated, but said nothing to him. Loris' arms tightened a little around John's neck. She pressed her breasts firmly against the John's strong back. Her chin came to rest gently on his shoulder as John walked past Katherine and Alek. Rob stood by the cafeteria doors. He didn't bulge till all of his people, including his brother, were inside. Once they were, he closed the doors behind him. If he really had just made contact with Vampires, he would need to alert the leaders from the other Lycan packs.,

Katherine frowned “Alek, I do not need a damn babysitter. I can handle myself and besides I’m not going to get married” she said a bit harsher than she had intended to say. Her eyes widened when she was grabbed by the hand and she tried to get out of his grip “Ow, Alek! Fuck let go of me” she hissed at him but she suddenly froze in her tracks when Alek was bumped into, her eyes quickly went to the student and she noticed the jacket right away and groaned softly. Way to go Alek. She thought as she watched the student and Alek but she could not believe this right now, there was no way that this was going to be happening right now. “Alek, not today.” She said softly when she saw the other members show up as if to rescue the poor jock that had been accused for an accident. She quickly pulled her hand from Alek’s grip and growled a bit under her breath as she was getting tired of his attitude really fast. Though she turned her attention to the male that seemed to be higher up in the group that was surrounding them. Katherine blinked softly .

“Yes, that’s right. My name is Katherine Pierce but John likes the nickname he gave me; Brownie. It’s nice to meet you…Rob” She said softly not wanting to get in the middle of what was between Alek and the other male that had accidentally bumped into him. She suddenly looked annoyed when Alek spoke to her but she knew that she had to respond to him, so she looked up at him “John is a fellow class mate of mine in many different classes. He’s also my partner for this project in one of many classes, and he’s a really good friend. He’s everything that you could only hope to live up to Alek. So I suggest you apologize because you really don’t want a fight today, do you?” she said.


Klaus had a small chat with Katherine’s parents for a good minute or so before heading back to the school so witness what was going on in the hallway. “Oh, way to go Alek…good job at pissing everyone off.” He said as he clapped in slow motion; it was a very sarcastic remark. “Katherine, step away from the circle… let them have their fun in teaching Alek some manners” he said as he leaned against a wall and watched the young lady from there not wanting to interfere too much with what was going on. “We don’t want blood in the pretty hallways here, but let’s not make it too easy” he muttered and chuckled softly. He was a bit of a twisted man one could say but he glanced out the window to spot Loris and John “Katherine, out of there now please. I don’t need you messed up” he said as he looked back at the group wondering if they would let her get out of there.



Katherine stayed where she was standing; her eyes locked on Klaus as she slowly took a few steps towards him. “Klaus, my lord…” she whispered but she looked at Rob as she stood about a foot in front of him.  She hoped that he would understand and let her by to get to Klaus “It’s a great pleasure to meet you, John has not told me too much about the family” she whispered wondering what Rob and the others would do with Alek because of his attitude; it was pretty rotten. “May I pass?” she asked softly knowing that none of this was her problem.

"Sweetheart my ass." Alek growled. This was the second time today she had kept him waiting. Honestly, he had a good mind to slap her. Maybe then she'd realize her rudeness. However, when Katherine mentioned Klaus, Alek's jaw tensed. "I see...so that inbred pitiful excuse for a vampire is back hm?" Alek frowned He too wondered what had brought Klaus back into town. Whatever it was, if Katherine was involved it would only be natural for Alek to get involved as well. "Very well." The noble vampire stated with a short huff. "I will accompany you to meet with him. I cant have my future wife mucking about with some...commoner..." Alek growled while grabbing Katherine by the hand. "Now come. I'm starving and have prepared lunch for us. A few human freshmen should do nicely." the vampire grinned. Suddenly, Alek's shoulder was suddenly shoved as another student walked by. "Hey, watch your step!" Alek snarled. The student turned around and just for a moment, his eyes betrayed him. The boy wore a dark red varsity jacket, similar to the one John usually wore. Judging from the boy's sheer size, he must have been on the football team. "Fuck you pretty boy!" the jock snapped. 

Alek stared at the student in disbelief. "Such arrogance! Clearly, you need a lesson in manners." Alek hissed. Suddenly, as if on cue, Katherine and Alek were surrounded by five other students. "Did someone mention manners?" one of the girls smirked. The boy standing next to her cracked his knuckles. The two vampires had just run into one, out of three, Lycan packs that attended the school. Ironically, these Lycans in particular belonged to John's pack. They each had long to short jet black hair, and similar colored eyes. "Look new kid..." came the deep voice of one of the males. As he stepped forward, the other students cleared a path for him. "I saw what happened. It was clearly an accident. I think it would be best to just move on..dont you?" the male student asked. Suddenly, his dark brown eyes fell upon Katherine. "Ive seen you before..." he blinked in surprise. "Yes, you're the girl my baby brother is always teasing. I believe your name was...Brownie something..right?" The senior smiled. "My name is Robert Stark, ah..but Rob will do." he added. The other lycans blinked twice. "She knows John?" one of the girls asked. "Who the fuck is John?" Alek growled as his dead cold eyes fell upon Katherine as well. 

 
Ooc: Indeed O.O
 

BIC:   
          Katherine knew that she would talk to John later, and see him in three days to discuss more in person so she did not really bother thinking of Loris too much or any of John’s friends for that matter. She headed into the bathroom and prepared herself, a young girl was in there and she compelled the young girl to let her use the makeup in her bag and whatever perfume she had. She smirked and thanked the young girl as she cleaned herself up before heading out of the bathroom. Her eyes flickered around before she headed in the direction that the cafeteria was in, she had a feeling that Alek would be there waiting for her and boy was she right. She wondered how John was doing outside with that bitch Loris but then she remembered that she had to stay focused on Ale, for now. She would have loved Loris to come up to her to start something; she would gladly take that bitch out and down six feet. “Alek, there you are my sweetheart!” she chimed as she gracefully moved closer to him but she soon frowned as if she was upset over something. “I am so sorry I’m late, but Klaus came into the school and he stopped me then he just planted a kiss on me; which was really strange because he’s never here and I haven’t seen him in a very very long time” she muttered softly as she wondered what the hell Klaus was up to now that he had given her the message of meeting him tonight. Katherine worried more about John than even herself but something about Klaus showing up got her curiosity going and she wondered what exactly Alek thought about that.






Klaus was a strange man, but he was very powerful and unique. There was nothing more than important than getting Katherine's help right now. He knew of a few families but unfortunately they had either been killed or he could not get in touch with them. Besides Katherine would be the perfect one for his plan; it was a difficult one to pull off but he soon would have her wrapped around his fingers like a ribbon on Christmas day. He made deals along the way from where he had originally came from, sadly it did not end well for those on the other side of him. They got hurt or killed; either way, he was going to get his way with Katherine's help. Klaus grinned as he walked past John and Loris, he had heard so much about them but then again he knew everything about almost everyone so that did not surprise him. He headed down the street and eventually found his way to Katherine's house, he need to stop by and at least say hi to her family knowing it had been well over 700 years since he last saw them.
He stood at the front step, taking in the view of the house and chuckled softly as he made his way up to the front door. Taking a small breath in, he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer the damn door. He shifted his weight and put his hands into his pockets and glanced around, not sure how much longer Katherine had for the day but he hoped she would get off early to come talk to him about the plans.

ooc: the plot thick thickens! O.O

ic: John could sense the tension quickly forming around Katherine's body. It pulsed around as if were radiation or something. The lycan released a deep sigh. He knew Katherine was far from pleased, but what could he do? They were suppose to act normal at school. Ditching Loris would have definitely caused more harm than good. "Look just relax. I'm sure you spend time sucking the neck of that bloodsucker you hate so much." John stated, tho not so much in a cold manner. His sensitive hearing picked up every single word she muttered. He wondered if she had forgotten that he was Lycan. Was she acting? The tone in her voice sounded harsh enough. With another sigh, John shrugged his shoulders and headed off to greet Loris.

When the she wolf saw her ex, a big grin quickly spread across her lips. She ran right up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a passionate kiss. John didn't kiss her back...but he didn't really resist either. "Hey you." John smiled. Loris returned his smile, but not before nipping his bottom lip and sliding her tongue slowly along the right side of his cheek. That was one of the differences between Vampires and Lycans. The wolves tended to show true affection in the form of licking or biting. "Where were you? I figured you'd come from inside." Loris whispered sweetly. "Yea..you know me. I had to get away." John replied softly. "So, what did you want to talk about?" he added.

Loris' lips parted to speak, but suddenly she paused. Something didn't smell right. She leaned in and took a large whiff of John's pine covered scent. "Oh shit..." John thought to himself. He had completely forgotten to wash Katherine's scent off. It probably wouldn't help that he had a big bite mark on his neck either. Luckily, it was covered by his shoulder length jet black hair tho. "You smell." Loris hissed. Her greenish-blue eyes shot up towards John and narrowed sharply. Loris couldn't put her finger on it..but she was sure that she recognized the scent. "Who is the bitch?" Loris growled while jamming her claws into John's chest. John returned her growl, and roughly pushed her back a few steps. "Do I question you about your hook ups? No. Now, did you wanna talk or not?" John snapped. Loris shot John a glare that could kill. She stubbornly crossed her arms over her chest. There was just something about the scent on John's body that was driving her mad!

-------------
Meanwhile, Alek was waiting patiently inside the school by the cafeteria doors. Naturally, Katherine was late. The pure-bred Vampire rolled his eyes. If by some way he managed to marry Katherine, the first thing he planned on doing would be to teach her a little respect. He'd make her into the perfect obedient wife one way...or another.

Katherine rolled her eyes lightly “No, I don’t” she said softly but she smiled when she was picked up by John, she could not imagine a more relaxing but distracting place than his arms. Though she took in some of the view  but she was mostly studying the way John walked, the way he smelt, the facial expressions and the way his posture was. She wondered where Alek and she were going to go for lunch but she did not imagine anywhere too expensive for them. She snapped out of her own thoughts when she was put down on her own feet where they were out of the way of anyone seeing them. Something out of the corner of her eyes caught her attention, she could see Loris standing there near the front doors as if she was waiting for something or someone…
Katherine did not know what it was about Loris, but she hated that bitch. She knew that John and herself were not dating at all, but something just did not feel right when she listened to John’s words about luring Loris away from doors.

 She became very quiet, almost too quiet as she stared at Loris for a good minute before scoffing lightly. Am I really the jealous type? Come on Katerina. Pull yourself together. She thought harshly to herself as she crossed her arms over her chest and nodded softly. She was not sure what to say to John, she wanted to tell him to have fun sucking each other’s dicks but she knew that could start something she did not want between them. “Okay, yeah.” She said softly but pretty quickly. Her jaw tensed slightly as she grinded her teeth, she knew that grinding her teeth was not good but it was sort of a stress reliever whenever she got upset over something. 

Katherine frowned as she glanced over at John “well just don’t stand there, go crawling back to her” she muttered as she knew that it would not matter if she had a distraction or not. “Like you always do John. See you later jerk” she whispered and with that she headed back into the school when John lured Loris from the doors. It seemed like an act, like how she normally was before all of these feelings for John started to come into play but she even fooled herself.  Though it was not long before she bumped into someone from the past; Klaus.  “Oh, what are you doing here?” she asked.
 
The young male only smirked as he ran his fingers through his dark hair. “I actually came to talk to you, surprisingly in a nice manner after what you did to me” he muttered as he grabbed her arms and pulled her around the corner. “It’s so nice to see you Katherine” he whispered as he gently brushed her bangs back from her face and grinned. Katherine frowned and pushed his hands away from her “What do you want Klaus?” she asked softly as she took a step back. Klaus always loved  her attitude but she clearly needed to take it down a notch. “Oh Katherine, don’t be so gloomy” he muttered softly and cupped her face, watching her try to get out of his tight grip “Relax my Petrova flower” he whispered to her, planting a passionate kiss on her lips before he chuckled softly.

 “I need your help, meet me at my place later tonight. We will talk then” he muttered as he let go of her and walked away, putting his hands into his pockets. Katherine gulped quietly and watched Klaus walk away, wondering what he wanted to discuss later tonight but she guessed that she would soon find out. “Great” she whispered as she reached into her pocket and put a reminder to meet Klaus later to discuss whatever it was he wanted to talk about. She did not know what he really wanted but she had a feeling that it was pretty important for him to come to her.

John nodded softly. He completely understood where Katherine was coming from. He had no problem with acting like they usually did in school. There was no way they could act like a couple. "Actually..can we even say we're a couple? Are we one???" John thought to himself. He'd probably spend the rest of the day thinking the thought over. Sure, he could have asked Katherine, but it seemed like she had enough on her plate to worry about. As Katherine wiggled out of his embrace, John's mind snapped back to reality. He gave Katherine another nod while rising to his feet. "Dont remember?" John grinned while moving to sweep Katherine right off her feet once more. "I see. You must have been a little distracted when I was carrying you. I wonder why." John chuckled softly.

When they got back to the school, the two of them had just made it in time for lunch. John made sure to drop Katherine off just far enough to avoid anyone seeing them. Unfortunately, from where they stood in the parking lot, the both of them could see Loris. The she-wolf was waiting patiently outside the school doors. "Oh yea..she wanted to talk." John sighed softly. However, if he knew Loris well...which he did...he doubted that conversation was on her mind. The lycan had a hungry look within her blue eyes. John had easily noticed while she had her legs wrapped around his waist. "Ok. I'll lure her away from the school doors you can go in. See you in third period?" John asked. He seemed rather relaxed about leaving school to sneak off with Loris. Then again, it wasn't like he could blow her off, at least not without a good reason. As far as Loris knew, he wasn't dating anyone. Even if he was, Loris considered herself to be an 'alpha.' She'd gladly assert her dominance over any bitch; human, lycan, or whatever, who dared to come between her and John.

“I know I worry too much, but worrying too much for the most part gets me ahead of the game... so it can be for the greater good but it's not so great right now” she whispered. Katherine listened to him and nodded lightly “If my parents ever found out, I’d be dead… you’d be dead” she whispered but she shuddered when she felt his nose touching the right side of her neck, she wondered what the hell he was doing but she stayed quiet for a moment.

 “That sounds perfect to me John, please now we must leave but I must say that when we see each other in public we must act as we were before. Please, start fights with me and I will defend myself like before. We will pick on each other, I don’t need you getting into trouble” she whispered to him, fearing for more of his life than her own. Katherine was not sure what was going to jump out at her next, but she would try and be prepared for the next step. 

Closing her eyes for a moment and nuzzled into John “I promise I will try my best to get here, at this time three days from now to see you” she whispered in his ear before reopening her eyes and carefully squirming out of his grip “Time to get back, let’s get going jerk” she said as she jumped out of the bed and brushed herself off carefully. Taking a glance around, she looked at John “How’d we get in here again?” she asked as she did not remember how many turns they took or which way to go.

"You worry too much." John whispered in between their kisses. "Also, you're not the only one with a dangerous family. Right now, there is an...unofficial truce between Lycans and Vampires in the city. If anyone from my pack found out about you, you'b be hunted down. Most likely, some members of my pack would use the 'incident' as an excuse to start another war. While I wouldn't be killed, I would probably be beaten till near dead..assuming that my mother could find a Lycan strong enough to take me on." John smiled softly against her lips. He didn't like to brag, not even among his own brothers, but there was a reason that John was next in line to take over his pack. Normally, the eldest pup would have the birthright. However, for Lycans, strength was everything. One's station could always be improved. Just the same, it could fall just as quickly as it had risen. With a soft smile, John closed his eyes and pressed his nose into the right side of Katherine's neck. He took in a long whiff of her scent. He had memorized it the first time they had met, but he had never indulged himself in taking it in. As her fingers traced along his shoulders, John's fingers slowly worked their way along every curve of her body. "Lets meet again. This time, lets meet in three days. Sound good?"

Katherine wished that they could of had more time together, but with everything going on she knew that it was best to stay underneath the radar as much as she could. "We need to be careful John, I can only lie so much to everyone before something horrible will happen. I don't need you dead because of my family or wannabe future husband looking into things" she whispered to him, she was truly concerned on how things would play out for her and John. She blinked softly when she heard the new name for her, she had never been called that before but she liked the ring of it. There was just so much more she wanted to have in life, but she knew that if her parents or Alek ever found out about John she would be in deep water. though the thought of them getting caught made her reassure herself that she would do anything to keep her family from John, she knew that she would fight because that's exactly what she was; a fighter. Katherine did not focus on her thoughts for too much longer when she felt John's lips on hers. Her fingers carefully ran through John's hair, her body shivered as she relaxed in his strong arms. She wanted to tell him, but she did not think that it would be right to tell him what was on her mind since they met each other and then possibly not see each other ever again. Gently she bit John's bottom lip as her fingers traced his neck and his shoulders, just trying to enjoy the time they had together that was remaining.

"I've missed you too. Crazy I know..considering we saw each other yesterday." John smiled. When she accused him of being shy, John glanced down at Katherine and gave her a toothy grin. "Oh trust me. No one is being shy. We'd be engaged in a...different sort of conversation if we had more time." he chuckled softly. "I dont like being rushed. I also want to be the focus of your attention. Worry about time prevents that." John explained softly. As she nipped him, John's eyes eyes closed tightly. The feeling of her fangs sinking deep into his neck made him gasp. His claws clenched the sheets as he moaned softly. "Mm..temptress..." John muttered, but smiled nonetheless. He leaned back down and captured Katherine's lips in a long passion filled kiss. His strong arms wrapped tightly around her body. He held her as if she were about leave..and never return.

Katherine blinked softly when she noticed how John was changing the subject, not that she wanted to say no to that; it was a good idea to change the subject before she left to go rip John’s ex a new hole. “Oh yeah? Well it better be a good snack” she whispered and knew that she would be coming here more often so they could be together, possibly talk about things but mostly just fool around. Her eyes studied him closely and she gasped softly when her hands were pinned above her head, she picked up on the scent of blood right away and she licked her soft lips as she craved his attention but more importantly; his blood. “Oh fuck you John” she whispered to him and her body squirmed a bit under his weight but a moan escaped her lips when she accepted his kiss. Katherine could feel John’s blood drip down her throat and she wanted more but she knew that she had to be careful with that, not only for herself. “I’ve missed you like crazy” she whispered when she broke the kiss and grinned “Oh come on John, don’t play shy with me” she muttered softly as she reached up and gently nipped at his neck before then biting down a bit harder to leave a slight mark on him. Katherine made sure to keep track of the time knowing that if she was late for lunch then Alek would be even more unhappy with her and she did not want to cause more of a stir up than what was already there.

Somehow, John got the feeling that he needed to change the subject. He hadn't expected Katherine to become that upset. Maybe she really was the jealous type. "Well..." John mumbled while returning her smirk. "As much as I'd love to see you two ripping each others clothes off...hint hint, just promise that you wont fight her at school." John stated. If that happened, every Lycan that attended the school would have to leave. Unlike Vampires, Lycans always fought together, even if they weren't necessarily from the same pack. As Katherine declared that she was hungry, John smiled some. It was kinda funny. He hadn't brought Katherine to his little get away to talk. No, he had planned on finishing what they had started yesterday. However, somehow they had started talking instead and ended up using most of their free time. "Well, if you're hungry I can offer you a small snack." John grinned as his body hovered over her's. He wasn't the least bit upset that they had spent most of their time talking. He figured he'd be seeing Katherine often at his hideout. With a grin, John slid the tip of his tongue against one of his razor sharp fangs, cutting it. The lycan quickly seized hold of Katherine's wrists. There was nothing he enjoyed more then pinning them above the vampire's head. "Open wide." John smirked. He leaned down and pressed his lips passionately against hers. He pushed his tongue past her lips, allowing his blood covered tongue to roll around her around.

Katherine listened to John carefully and she knew that 30 years was not exactly long at all. She knew her father wanted her to get married to Alek, maybe not for his looks but to make their own family look better but she did not care for Alek. She was good at acting when she wanted to but she did not try to hide her hate towards Alek to her family. She knew that Alek’s mother liked her but she had no intentions in marrying someone she did not love let alone like. Just thinking about Loris on John’s lap today began to make her blood boil and she became serious very quickly “I wouldn’t worry too much, she would not be able to even touch me. I’d rip her fucking head off if I really needed to… like if I had no other choice” she whispered as the veins under her eyes started to appear black as her eyes filled with the colour red and black. When she opened her mouth, her fangs appeared and she hissed a bit under her breath. “God damn I’m starving now” she said softly and laughed a bit but her appearance did not change. Katherine had seen John yell or at least shout at her for ripping his shirt but she did not want to see him when he got angry for some reason, she had this imagine in her head of what John would look and act like when he was angry but she did not want to think about it too much. She turned her head to the right and took a deep breath in, slowly letting it out as she closed her eyes. It was about five seconds before she reopened her eyes and her appearance was…well, back to what she ‘normally’ looked like for everyone around her. “She looks like the crazy type, so that does not surprise me John.” She muttered as she glanced at him then looked away and smirked a little bit.

"Ah..but at the time, you had no idea I was a Lycan. Tho...I suppose a relationship with a human wouldn't have been too much better." John whispered. When he heard Katherine bring up Loris, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "Yeah..about her..." he groaned. "I dont know. We've been off and on for the past...30 years? In human terms thats a pretty long time but for creatures like us it hasn't been that long. There's no real formal process for choosing a mate. You just kinda hook up with whoever...providing that you have the rank to make that person yours. Even if you dont, everything can be solved through combat. Loris just happened to be the second eldest daughter in her family. Ironically, I was the second eldest son in mine. Everyone thought that it was high time the Starks and the Monde(German for Moons) mixed blood. I was told by my father, 'John Stark, stop fooling around and get yourself a mate!' " John explained in the deepest, roughest voice he could manage. He was pretty good at impersonating his father. The only problem was that John wasn't particularly crazy about Loris, but she did have her charms. He knew for a fact however that he'd never love her, at least..not in the way he loved Katherine. Of course, he could never tell Katherine that..at least not yet.

"By the way." John smiled as he received Katherine's kiss on his nose. "She's crazy and prone to violent fits of jealousy. I thought she was going to rip your head off when your eyes met." John sighed. He had almost a million stories of incidents that Loris had caused between herself and other Lycans. "Nothing scarier than a female on the warpath." he mumbled. "But, I suppose thats unfair. I've been known to act a little rashly every now and then when jealous." John smiled softly. No one at school would probably paint John for the violent type. He was pictured more so as the school's number 1 slacker. No one, but Loris and a few other Lycans at the school, knew of what John was capable of when pissed.

Katherine knew that the abandoned mansion would be hard to get into now because her parents knew of the place but she could feel comfort in this place and would probably consider it her second home for now till she moved out and found a place to live. This place would be good enough for getaways when she needed some thinking time or time alone with John. She had to admit that John did a good job at setting up this place by himself, she was a bit impressed with him. In deep thought, she was pulled back into reality when she was pounced on by John. Her eyes widened a bit but her hands came up and gently cupped his face as she gladly accepted his kiss. God how she missed him, and it was not even that long since the last time they saw each other but she missed the contact. She frowned a bit then started to laugh when the kiss was broken and John pulled back, her brown eyes studied his expression as she calmed herself and smirked. Katherine’s fingers gently trailed along his jawline and down his neck to his chest and that’s where she pulled back. She listened to him carefully and actually would probably never know the right answer to that question but she had an idea of why it took them so long to get here. Her smirked slowly vanished as she really began to think about it, why did she take so long to get his attention like this. “Honestly? It was a lot of things” she whispered and cleared her throat softly “Fear from getting in trouble, pain from watching you suck on Loris’s face off and on over again and again, disappointment in myself. There were a lot of things that tied over the years. Relationships weren’t on my list up till this year. How could a monster like I give so much love to someone who she’s not even suppose to be with because of the differences..?” she whispered and she could not help but to smile just a bit “Freshman is an understatement” she muttered softly to him before pulling him down and placing a small kiss on the tip of his nose.

John smiled. The fact that Katherine approved of his little get away pleased him. He figured they could use it from time to time if they wanted to be alone. He had doubts that they'd ever be able to return to the abandoned mansion, especially since her mother had come so close to catching them. Here tho, they could be alone without being disturbed. Not even Loris, who John had dated off and on for a long time, knew about his secret place. When Katherine asked him what he wanted to discuss, John simply smiled. "Oh just a few things." he laughed. His dark brown eyes followed Katherine's movements while she circled him. For some reason, it gave him the shivers. He felt like he was being stalked, which was weird considering he was a predator himself. Suddenly, Katherine hit john with her famous puppy-dog eyes. John had seen them before, but last time, they weren't that affective. The Lycan blinked twice. He caught himself staring at Katherine for a second or two. "W-Who is this girl...and where has she been hiding this cute side?" John thought to himself. As soon as Katherine laid down, John pounced on her! He leaned down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. He loved catching her off guard. When he pulled back, a small smile spread across his lips. "Tell me, why did it take three years for us to reach this point?" John asked while his long, curly black hair hung over his shoulders. He wasn't a 100% sure...but he suspected that Katherine cared for him as much as he did her. Then again, maybe she had just gotten caught up in the rush of their forbidden 'relationship.' "All we've done is pick at each other since we were 'freshman' " John added with a chuckle.

Caught off guard by the kiss her body relaxed and her fingers tangled in John’s hair. Katherine had been longing for that since they last saw each other, since their last actual physical contact. It was reinsuring to know that John was there right now and would do anything to protect. It reminded her of a research report paper she did last year on the quote ‘Fight or Flight’ along with a bunch of random facts that tied into history. Those thoughts were soon brushed off as she gave John her attention. “I’ll try not to” she whispered as she did truly worry about him wanting to chew on Alek, she had a guess as to how it would go down and she would be there when it happened because she did not want anything happening to John. She needed him. Katherine held onto John as he moved, her eyes took in what she wanted to see before she began to study John’s face. She was surprised at the location that he picked for his little hiding spot but she had to admit that it was pretty nice and quiet. “You know, I can walk” she muttered as she allowed John to continue carrying her into the small cave.  It was a nice feeling to have John carry her around but he also knew that it’s good to walk as well, but who was to complain? Certainly not her. Not today. Her eyes took in the view of the place that John had claimed as his own “It’s…perfect” she whispered  then she recalled his last words, that not even his brothers knew of this place, which made her think that she was the only one to be shown this place. “It’s small, cozy, warm, dark, mysterious and secretive… I like it” she muttered as she was placed on the bed. Katherine sat there staring at the thick blanket and smirked before turning her attention to John “so, what do you want to discuss?” she asked. She slowly got off the bed and began to walk around John, her movements were graceful and she let her fingers trail over her body lightly.  She stopped in front of John and gave him the best ‘puppy-eyed’ look she could do “Come on John, talk to me” she whispered. Though she could not do that for long as she broke into laughter and a smirk came into play on her face as she laid down on the bed, stretching out her body slowly.

"Katherine..does this Alek..well you just leave him to me. I haven't had a toy to chew on in a while and could use a new one." John chuckled. He understood how concerned Katherine was, but at the moment he only wanted her mind on him. Without warning, he leaned forward and captured her lips in a deep and long passionate kiss. It was something he'd been meaning to do since that morning. John didn't pull away till he was sure that he had every bit of Katherine's attention. "Dont think too much." he whispered while licking his lips. Suddenly, John's body went into a sprint! He may not have been 'as' fast as Katherine, but he could move quickly when he wanted to. John carried Katherine deep into the woods till they came to the entrance of a small cave. "Its in here." John grinned while carrying Katherine inside. He could have allowed her to walk, but there was something about holding her close that he enjoyed. After a few minutes, and few dark turns, John brought them room deep inside the cave. John already had a few torches lining the wall. He had a bed, a thick pelt like blanket, and there was even an underground spring located towards the far back of the room. It meant that if John wanted water to drink, or clean up, he didn't have to his cave. "Sooo, what do you think? I know it may not be as classy as that abandoned mansion." he joked and walked over towards the bed, placing Katherine down on it.

Katherine did not have time to argue with John, but it was not like she wanted to anyways. She quietly and quickly followed him around the corner and through the halls to get outside of the school but she could not help but to wonder if John was just putting up an act or if he was actually being serious about all of this. Though something told her that there was no joking around here, not right now anyways. She squeaked a bit and blinked in surprise when she was scooped up in John's arms but she looked at the position that he was holding her in and bit her bottom lip. Listening to his words, she could of sworn that she would not have much time to think about anything but her body shivered as her arms automatically reacted by wrapping around John's neck carefully. Her brown eyes flickered up to his face "That's right, we did not finish discussing... Mmm, okay but you have to get me back here before lunch starts. So that's an hour and forty minutes away. If I'm not back, I'll be hunted down and Alek will... " she whispered and sighed "I'm sure Alek would ruin things like he always does" she whispered again. Then Katherine thought of her father but quickly brushed everyone but John off, surely they could come up with something.

"Dont ask, just follow." John grinned as he led her around the corner, through the halls, and outside the school's doors. Once they were outside, John turned and scooped Katherine into his arms, bridal style. He held her tightly against his chest. "I understand that us being together is dangerous..for the both of us. However, that doesn't mean you have to run. We just need some time to figure things out." John smiled. "Just outside of town, I have a special place I go to to think. Not even my annoying brothers know about it. Would you like to see it? I recall us not finishing our discussion from the other day." John grinned while leaning in to the give the area just below Katherine's ear a hard nip. His lips closed over the area he had nipped, sucking lightly on it. "Mm, so..what do you think?"
