This RP started off on another site, so this won't make much sense to most people.
Nozia rolled her eyes. "You need to stop being so cheeky," she teased. She turned her body around and kicked in Holly's general direction, though if it hit it wouldn't hurt. She pulled her legs back up onto the bed. "Look, I don't wanna leave the room any time soon. I mean, what if Brittany comes at us again? I'll be forced to kill her!" She said, sitting on the bed. She touched a hand to her chest as if she really, genuinely felt bad about having to murder such an atrocious bully. She laughed and put her hand back down on the bed. "Seriously though, she's probably talking about us with those bimbos of hers right now. They'll all be looking out for us."
Holly - A shapeshifter. Nozia’s best friend and roommate.
Nozia - A half-goat half-girl hybrid. Holly’s best friend and roommate.
Brittany - One of the werewolves that bullies Nozia and Holly.
Bumble - A bee-girl who is a social outcast. Would do anything to be cool.

“Hehehe…. I promised myself the lovely treat. Don't get sassy with me Goat Legs.... I'm not afraid to try and taste you..." Brittany said with a light poke of her fingers. Even though the hands weren't transformed, the nails were still sharp and long enough to inflict damage to whomever Brittany desired to harm... She saw the blood run down Nozia's chin and gave a semi-toothy grin, poking at the bloody skin with a smirk. "I heard that blood makes meat taste better since it's capable of holding the flavor of the meat it belongs to... Ever wondered what you tasted like?" Brittany asked slowly and deliberately.

Holly peeked from behind the picture and saw Bumble as she leaned forward to change the radio station. It seemed like it was a good time to start her charge if anytime at all, so Holly quickly began to move across the wall, sneaking behind posters of her favorite music artist and pieces of clothing that were slightly touching the wall. As she was moving, Holly had been thinking on how to get close to Bumble without wasting too much energy. But just then, Bumble had moved a bit of her leg, shifting the blanket on her bed closer to the wall. This slight action made Holly smile in her head, and she took the opportunity to hurry and crawl across the fabricated bridge and got herself to the bed, finally seeing Bumble at a muvh much larger scale. 'Oh jeez... I never thought I'd see her so big,' Holly thought with a small shudder. She decided to let herself sit where she was on the bed, for she was a bit of a distance from her target. 'She better not move on me, or else I'll bite her,' Holly thought with a tap of her legs.
Nozia glared up at werewolf, sneering. She dragged her index finger across her bottom lip, wiping it across her white furred lower half, creating a small red streak. She put a hand on Brittany's chest and shoved her back strongly. "Keep back, you [blank]ing mutt," she spat, "you and your fat [blank] couldn't catch a legless rabbit if it was on a plate in front of you," she growled, knowing that she was stepping into dangerous ground. She didn't care very much, though; she just hoped that if something serious happened, Holly would be smart enough to retreat.
Bumble stayed where she was thankfully, still occupied with the tv as it played a random show. She seemed not to mind what came on, which was an even bigger break for Holly, and she made her way towards the exposed leg inch by inch. At the climax of the show, Holly crawled her way onto the leg, making Bumble jerk and impulsively swipe her hands down, sweeping Holly off her. When Bumble did that, Holly yelped and tumbled on the covers for a moment, looking up to see Bumble flip around like a fish on land when she stopped. Bumble was squealing like a little baby, fumbling around to look for an object to kill Holly with. It made Holly laugh heartily until she saw a sizable book from a book shelf being held in Bumble's hand. 'Uh-oh.... Time to go,' Holly thought as she scurried away. Bumble shrieked and threw the book at her, thankfully not landing on her but tossing the spider in the air.
Holly gasped and flailed her eight legs as she came back down, somehow managing to grasp the wall with three of them. Holly panted as she looked back with a few of her eyes, seeing Bumble scramble to her with another hard object. Holly barely dashed out of range and scurried across the wall, with Bumble crying and shouting for the spider to go away. Holly couldn't help but to laugh, seeing how this was how she would react around a spider if it managed to crawl in her room. But being the one who is running for her life was more terrifying than what Holly could've imagined, and when you're this small, you have to use everything you know to survive. Suddenly, Holly was covered up by something, but she panicked too hard to tell what it was. 'Aahhhh! Let me go, let me go! Don't make me crawl on you,' Holly thought with flailing legs. She then realized herself to be wrapped in a soft material, figuring that she was caught in a napkin.
Holly huffed and tried to wriggle her way out of the folds of the napkin, but felt her body being squeezed bit by bit. She gasped and looked for something to grab, but what could she do? Holly whimpered and moved her arms helplessly, unbeknownst to her she had managed to touch Bumble's finger, making her lose her grip on Holly. Holly gasped and crawled up Bumble's arm with speed, determined to make Bumble sorry for squeezing her. Poor Bumble screamed and slammed herself against the wall, falling down as she tripped and slid down due to stepping on the book she threw earlier. Holly crawled down as fast as she could, thinking it was punishment enough for what she tried to do. A trashed room, distraught and paranoid for the next couple of hours, and a hurt back? Not bad for a first timer. Holly crawled away from Bumble as fast as she could, but she found that she had a bit of trouble moving as fast. Perhaps the mad dash for her life was more tiring than she had previously calculated. Holly felt the floor thumping behind her as Bumble tried on last time to kill her, making Holly force herself to dash to the underside of the door. She squeezed herself under the gap and slipped away, hearing a thudding sound behind the door, a result of Bumble trying to stomp on her with no luck. Holly panted and crawled to the wall to catch her breath, happy to have done a little chaos, but not eager to do such a thing anytime soon.

Brittany was a bit surprised at the shove and stumbled back a bit, but she gained her footing very quickly. The insult that was made to her pissed her off rather quickly, making her growl as she thrusted herself onto Nozia, pinning her against the wall again. "You watch yourself Chops. You and that Circus Freak of a Shifter are on the top of my hit list. You may be my height, but you aren't stronger than me and I'll kill you where you stand.... Many students have been severely hurt by werewolves around this time of year from years past..... Who's to say you or Mutt Face won't be next?" Brittany threatened as she dig her claws in her arms.
Nozia's ears tilted straight forwards when she heard Brittany call Holly a 'Circus Freak'. Her eyes narrowed into two slits as she took a step forwards. She shook Brittany's grip on her. "Don't you dare call her a Circus Freak, you [blank]ing pup!" She shouted, shoving the werewolf harder, into the opposite wall. The faun lunged forwards, hoof aimed straight for the opposing girl's stomach. Out of the corner of her eye as she shifted her weight to cause more hurt, she spotted a spider on the wall. For a moment, she laughed, thinking that it was nature on her side, but she quickly realised that the spider was identical to the one Holly had transformed into; it was more likely that it was Holly then it was that it was just a random spider. Nozia smiled. "Job done?" She asked as she took a step back from the - possibly kicked, possibly not - werewolf.
Brittany gasped a little when she was shoved into the wall by Nozia, for she want expecting to be pushed around as such. She grunted when her back hit the wall, and she raised a hand to strike the fawn from the next insult she spat at her. But before she could do so, she felt a hoof in her abdomen, making her inadvertently yelp in pain. She snarled and grabbed at Nozia's leg in an attempt to get her off, but the pain had threw her focus off greatly, resulting in her not being able to put her full strength into her push. When Nozia stepped off of her to talk to what seemed like nothing, she stood up with a hand on her stomach, confused and angry about what just happened.
Holly looked up at Nozia's voice, surprised that she was already so close to her after leaving the room. She then remembered that she was supposed to be so close in case something happened, which Holly was very grateful for, and crawled to her as fast as she could. Brittany narrowed her eyes and saw the spider on the wall as well, and made a disgusted look on her face. "You talk to spiders? How insane are you?" Brittany said as she leaned against the wall. Holly huffed and dropped down to the floor to crawl to the middle of the hallway. She closed her eyes and quickly pictured a wolf in her head, causing her body to shift once more. After a short moment, Holly shifted into a large Gray Wolf, growling and putting her tail straight out behind her. "Leave Nozia alone Brittany. Go find someone else torment," Holly said with a tired pant. Brittany picked up on Holly's voice and grinned a little, making Holly lower an ear a little. "And why should I? You don't seem to be in a position to do anything," Brittany growled.
Nozia turned her attention to Brittany. "How insane am I?" She repeated, leaning forward to be almost touching noses with the werewolf. "I'm absolutely MENTAL!" She said in a sing-song voice, doing a little spin-dance before doing another spin, this one in the form of a roundhouse kick that, whilst surely hitting Brittany, would also be on course for Holly on the wall. Thankfully, the shapeshifter had moved (and changed species) and Nozia just scratched the paint on the wall.
The smile that went across her face at Holly's words was a mixture of empowerment, pride and happiness. "I nearly just incapacitated you or whatever with a kick. I think that's the position we're in," she pointed in with a tiny, b*tchy smile.
Brittany growled when Nozia got in her face, but wasn't very relaxed with her answer either. She was going to strike at her until she suddenly got stuck by Nozia's hoof. She slammed her back on the wall with a large thud, immediately holding her chest as the air rushed out of her lungs. She struggled to breathe, and she wheezed as she tried to stand back up, though she tried her absolute best to not let the Fawn and Shifter know. She finally stood up after a few minutes, letting her body absorb the pain in her chest as she glared at Holly and Nozia. "That... Was a big mistake you walking dead meat!" Brittany snarled as she stalked closer to Nozia. Holly gasped and lowered he ears as the werewolf approached Nozia, hesitant on attacking her for multiple reasons. When Brittany got a bit closer, Holly closed her eyes and rammed Brittany's leg, backing up to push Nozia back. She whined a little as she looked back at her friend, fearing that things were going to quickly get out of hand within these small hallways... Well they weren't really that small, but they certainly weren't big enough for a fighting werewolf to swing her arms around. Brittany glared down at Holly with narrowed eyes and went towards the two with no sign of restraint being prominent. Holly braced for another attack when she heard multiple footsteps going down a hallway, halting Brittany and making the two perk their senses towards the sounds.
It sounded like a teacher thank God. The sounds seemed to snap Brittany back into a more sensual state, making her back up with a huffing growl. "You better watch yourself mutts... This isn't over," Brittany snarled as she turned and retreated down the opposite way. Holly was extremely thankful for these new sounds, but at the same time, she was worried about being caught by whomever owned the feet. Holly panted with increasing tiredness as she nudged Nozia's leg and ran down the hallway that held their room, looking back to see if Nozia was following. "Come on! We can't be seen out here... At least not in this condition," Holly barked.
Nozia had no intentions to back down. She took a step closer to Brittany, but found Holly nearly under her hooves. She began to sober up, out of her anger, and began to realise how stupid she was being. The size of the corridor was horrible for fighting, and she didn't know when the next full moon was; if it was recent, Brittany certainly wouldn't forget about them. However, when Brittany began to charge - at least, it looked like she would, she used her long leg to sweep Holly away, in a way that if the attack happened, then Nozia would take it all.
She froze, ears twitching like mad, upon hearing the steps going. She quickly identified it as some sort of high heeled person - that made it gravitate towards a teacher - or a person with hooves. Still, Nozia did not want to take the risk. She looked back at Brittany. "Back at you!" She hissed, and then looked back at Holly. She nodded in a 'let's go' way, and then got on all fours, using light footing to minimise identifiable sound. She rushed into the room, holding the door for Holly and then quietly closing it, locking it behind her. "Quickly, go back to normal!" She whispered, rolling her hand at the wrist.
"I'm gonna pull a trick, so don't ask!" She added quietly. With her horrific, far too long and sharp index finger nail, she poked her cheek. By adding pressure, she eventually cut through her skin. "If a teacher asks, Brittany did this," she whispered, licking off the blood on her fingernail and going off the the en suite to stop the bleeding.
Holly dashed right into their room when it was opened by Nozia. She skidded on the floor and slammed her side on the dresser, forcing her to clench her teeth to keep from yelping too loudly. Holly at this point was exhausted, but she needed to change.... That was, if she could. Holly whined and lowered her ears as she stared at the door and Nozia, wondering what she was doing. She gasped when her cheek began to bleed, making Holly worry about what her friend was doing. The clopping sounds grew closer and closer to their door as seconds passed, with a female voice accompanied by another going at each other.
"What was that?" One voice asked.
"I don't know Selia. But it sounded like other students... Do you think they are still around here?" The voice asked in a cautious voice.
"No I don't think so.... Either way we need to get to the other teachers... The full moon is tomorrow, and we all know what that means," the first voice said with a huff. Soon the voices and sounds of feet receded in the distance of the corridors, eventually leaving the two alone once more.
Whilst the teachers passed, Nozia made normal students-during-summer conversation. "Hey, Holly, how about we go down to the club building to see what clubs are gonna be on next year?" She asked, winking at the other girl to tell her to play along, if she could transform quickly enough.
Once the teachers had passed over them - much like the angel of death during the passover - Nozia sighed in relief and sunk against the door. She pressed her furred arm against her cheek, turning the fur that made contact blood red. "This was in case they came in," she whispered, pointing at the cut, "but since they didn't, just say that I fell and cut it on a rock," she said with a sigh, resting her head against the door. She hadn't yet registered the whole 'full moon thing’.
Holly wanted to play along with the little charade that Nozia was trying to push with, but she couldn't bring herself to speak, as she was too tired to speak in what would be practically breathless speech. Thankfully, the teachers had passed their room, which gave Holly more freedom to do what she'd normally do in her room, she stumbled a little over to Nozia and licked her hand and cheek, then plopped on Nozia's lap with a small whine. "Sure... We'll say that. You sure like to make a scene Nozia," Holly said with a light tail wag.
Nozia frowned when Holly didn't join in, not seeing the reason why until she saw the way that the shapeshifter's shoulders were rising and falling, like a frantic sun that didn't know if it wanted to be up or down. "I need a tissue," she mumbled, going to stand up before Holly plonked her wolf ass down on her legs. "Don't eat me, tiger," she teased when the temporary wolf licked at her face and hand. She smiled, the bleeding on her cheek rekindling anew as she broke whatever vague barrier had been made. "You're pretty cute when you're a dog," she said, using her nails to scratch her neck - obviously with less pressure than she'd put on to cut herself.
Holly snorted when Nozia teased her about not being eaten, putting a claw on her friend's chest as she spoke. "Very funny. One, I'm a wolf not a tiger... Two, I'm a wolf not a dog," Holly said with a chuckling bark. "And three, goats aren't my meat type; now if you were a lamb or a chicken or something then you'd have a problem," Holly said as she closed her eyes to the scratching on her neck. The way Nozia's nails felt on Holly's neck coupled with how tired she was at the moment made her relax quickly, her tail wagging from side to side as Holly stretched her body out. The wolf put a paw over her snout and sighed, with her quickly in the process of dozing off.
"C'mon, it was a joke!" Nozia complained, scratching under Holly's chin teasingly. Nozia giggled at her friend, not listening to her arguments as she slowly watched the wolf drift off into a slumber. "You're so...cute." She repeated, pulling the wolf into a large hug. She buried her face into the wolf's collarbones, sighing slightly. Suddenly, a gong went off in her head as she finally realised what the teachers had said. Her nails unintentionally dug into the wolf's body as she hugged the wolf tighter, like a frightened child with their teddy bear. "They said it was a full moon tonight...oh god..." she whispered.
Holly sighed dreamily when she was being scratched, for it was helping her sleep rather quickly. With her closed eyes, Holly wagged her fluffy tail gently, not even minding when she was being hugged by Nozia. She liked being touched as such, though, she did her best to never show such behavior out in public, for fear of really being treated like an animal by her peers... Nozia was the only person she would act in such a way to, and even then she'd be a bit embarrassed to act in such a way at times.
It wasn't long before Holly drifted closer to a deeper sleep, but before her body got to that point, the wolf began to feel a pinching pain on multiple parts of her body. Her mind started to wake back up, increasing the pain that the wolf was feeling. She tried to shift her body, but the pain was worse when she moved, causing the wolf to whine. "Oww..... Nozia what are you- OW! Nozia that hurts!" Holly yelped as she quickly opened her eyes.
Nozia flinched as Holly yelped and let go of the wolf all at once, dropping her into her lap as soon as she realised that she'd been digging in her nails. She quickly looked at her nails, and was glad to see that she hadn't actually pierced the skin. She sighed and pulled her knobbly knees up to her chin, holding around her legs with her arms. "Those teachers that passed, they said that it was a full moon tonight, didn't they?" She whispered, pushing herself back into the door as if the werewolfs would come pushing through all at once. She had always been smart enough to not pick fights with werewolfs if there was a full moon in the next week, but there was a first time for everything.
"Just putting our cupboard up against the door won't cut it this time." She mumbled, taking Holly out of her lap and putting her on the floor so that she could stand up. She looked around the room, thinking about what extra reinforcement they could use.
Holly shook her fur when she felt herself being dropped into Nozia's lap, licking her arms and sides as she listened to Nozia's worry. Nozia's heartbeat was a bit quick when she was pulled up against the Fawn's chest, making Holly realize that Nozia was really fearful about something. She whined when she was carried off of Nozia,, though she tilted her head in a bit of confusion when she stated the reason of her worry. "No Nozia, you didn't hear them right; the teacher said that the full moon was tomorrow, not tonight. Sure that isn't much time, but we still have a little bit before we reinforce the door... So just relax alright?" Holly said as she nuzzled Nozia's cheek.
Nozia hesitated, then sighed. "Are you sure?" She asked, putting her hands out in front of her as if to ground herself. "Because there's no chance that I'm taking any...well, chances." She said, pressing her lips together in a tight line. She kept on looking around the room. Apart from the cupboard, which they had moved to permanently sit near the door so that in an emergency they could topple it over and at least stay a little safe, there were a few more things. Some sort of trap could likely be made out of spare bedsheets from their drawers and some noisy things (plates from the cafeteria, maybe?).
Holly nodded as she put a paw on Nozia's lap in an attempt to calm her down. "Yes I'm sure. I heard them say it. I'm pretty sure that's why Brittany was behaving like she was. But it's over now, so you don't have to worry," Holly said with a yip of encouragement. Holly wanted to get Nozia's mind off of the full moon; she knew that Nozia would do the same for her. "Come on Nozia, move away from the door," Holly said with a small giggle as she wagged her tail and pawed at Nozia's hooves.
Nozia turned her head to the dog. "Ugh, alright," she said, not thinking about the tripwire plan she was already began to sort out in her head. She scooped Holly up and slowly stood to her feet, stroking the wolf from head to tail like a cat as she walked over to the window. "Dude, I am so tired." She complained, but she was not the sort of person to nap. She began to roll her brain through all the places in the school that wouldn't be occupied by people who would want to pick fights.
Holly blinked when she felt herself being scooped up by Nozia, feeling similar to a cat as she was carried to the window. She wagged her tail and looked out at the large campus that she, Nozia, and many others called home, sighing at the warm air that blew in through the window. She picked up many different scents: Mr. Sidebar somewhere near the tennis court, Brittany stalking along the fields, and a few other students that Holly didn't care to mention. When Nozia mentioned being tired, Holly nodded and sighed lightly, letting her legs go limp as she looked up to her. "Yeah, me too. All that shifting got me a bit weary. I still have to get used to the draining risk that shifting brings," Holly said as she gave a big yawn.
Nozia snickered at Holly's yawn. "You're so cute," she repeated, scratching underneath the wolf's jaw. She looked back out at the school, staring at the now empty tennis court. "Looks like it might be time for dinner soon," she said, nodding towards the empty outside areas. "And we have had a brilliant first day of the summer, haven't we?" She asked sarcastically with another snicker. "We nearly got killed by, what, two separate werewolfs?" She tilted her head back a little as she laughed.
Holly wagged her tail a little when Nozia scratched her chin, sticking her tongue out a little as she looked stared out the window. "Am I really that cute for you to say that how many times now?" Holly asked with a chuckling huff. At Nozia's sarcastic statement, Holly chuckled more, shaking her head as she began to respond. "Oh yeah, such a wonderful start to the summer. Something tells me that running for our lives is going to be a pastime for these next wonderful summer weeks. But I really don't want to deal with any werewolves for a while thank you... They are to hyper-aggressive for me if you ask me... They need a damn chill pill... And we have to meet them during dinner... Grrrreeat," Holly growled as she looked up to Nozia. "What are we having for dinner? I can't seem to remember what we're having tonight," Holly asked with a tilted head.
"Yes you are very cute but not when you're talking because you're very cheeky." Nozia scolded, opening the window a little farther than it already was. "Get cheeky with me and I'll throw you out the window!" She teased, looking down at the drop from the fourth floor. "And if I have anything to say, we paper Mr. Much's at least once." She said with a snicker, eyes flickering with glee as she thought about how angry that he would get. "We should get, like, pepper spray or something to hold them off. Or let's just wear silver twenty-four seven." She suggested jokingly. She looked around the room. "Hold up. I think I picked up a menu from the canteen." He said, putting Holly down on the floor. She walked over to her bedside table and began to rifle through it. She pulled out one from a previous year, and then finally the right one. "Uhh...soup." She groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on Nozia I'm not cheeky when I talk," Holly said with a snort when Nozia opened the window. She growled and looked out the window at Nozia's threat, smirking as she looked up with a taunting yip. "You do forget that I can change into any animal.... I can just fly away you old goat," Holly said with a small stick out of her tongue. At Nozia's suggestions to her statements, Holly shook her head with an amused chuckle, licking a paw as she was carried around. When Nozia put her down on the floor, she padded over to where Nozia was sifting through the papers, sitting down as she searched for the right one. Once found, Holly wagged her tail a little, tilting her head when Nozia groaned. "What? What's wrong with soup? It's not terrible tasting," Holly said with a shake of her head.
Nozia giggled. "I'll hold your wings," she said, ignoring the logistic flaws in the moment. "Or I'll break them, if you'd prefer that," she whispered almost seductively, leaning in close to Holly's ear for a second, before loudly giggling. She leaned away and looked back at the food menu. "Because it's soup!" Nozia insisted. "It's like, 'I'm too lazy to eat food, so lets make it liquid!" She raised her voice, somehow avoiding laughing, though her face showed her struggle. She sat down on her bed and swung her body around so that her hooves were against the wall and her head was hanging upside down, off the bed. "Also, in horror novels, they use it to describe dead bodies and [blank]." She said, sticking her tongue out. "Like; 'there was a soup of various organs on the floor...'..." she said, deepening her voice to a traditional campfire story level. She squirmed her fingers in Holly's direction like pinkish centipedes with white mouthpieces.
Holly leaned back and cocked her ears at Nozia mentioning her breaking her wings, for she didn't like that idea at all. "I'd like to keep my wings intact thank you very much," Holly grumbled with a hard thump of her tail. When Nozia spoke her reasons about the soup, Holly shook her head and chuckled, amused at the joke she made. "Oh come on Nozia, you just had to make the analogy with gore and stuff... I like soup, don't ruin it for me! I don't know what you're gonna eat... You can always eat some Cheddar and Potatoes. That's a good selection.... Or maybe they'll have vegetable soup for those who don't like a 'soupy organ' slop in their bowl," Holly said with a dismissive paw.
Nozia shrugged. "There's no way you can't think about gore when you're looking at unidentifiable globs of meat floating about in some weird liquid!" She pointed out, raising her voice with every italicised word. She stuck out her tongue at mention of the cheddar and potatoes, face painted in vague disgust. "I hate cheese!" She reminded her friend. "I'm part goat, Holly, remember? Cows cheese is absolutely mingin'!" She sighed and slinked off of her bed, sitting crosslegged on the floor. "Whatever. I'll make do with organ soup." She said, prodding Holly's nose with the tip of her finger, avoiding touching her with her killer nails.
Holly shook her head with a smirk as she listened to her friend argue about soup. At the disgusted look on her friend's face for the cheddar soup, she lowered her ears. "Oh yeah.... Sorry, I forgot! No delicious cheese for you," Holly teased as she scratched her side with her hind leg. "I'm pretty sure they have something for those up don't like soup.... Like crackers.... Oooor a sandwich. Nothing compliments soup like a sandwich," Holly said with a light yip. She cocked her ears back when Nozia poked her nose, unconsciously sticking her tongue out as she opened her mouth. "Now what are you doing?" Holly asked.

Holly peeked from behind the picture and saw Bumble as she leaned forward to change the radio station. It seemed like it was a good time to start her charge if anytime at all, so Holly quickly began to move across the wall, sneaking behind posters of her favorite music artist and pieces of clothing that were slightly touching the wall. As she was moving, Holly had been thinking on how to get close to Bumble without wasting too much energy. But just then, Bumble had moved a bit of her leg, shifting the blanket on her bed closer to the wall. This slight action made Holly smile in her head, and she took the opportunity to hurry and crawl across the fabricated bridge and got herself to the bed, finally seeing Bumble at a muvh much larger scale. 'Oh jeez... I never thought I'd see her so big,' Holly thought with a small shudder. She decided to let herself sit where she was on the bed, for she was a bit of a distance from her target. 'She better not move on me, or else I'll bite her,' Holly thought with a tap of her legs.
Nozia glared up at werewolf, sneering. She dragged her index finger across her bottom lip, wiping it across her white furred lower half, creating a small red streak. She put a hand on Brittany's chest and shoved her back strongly. "Keep back, you [blank]ing mutt," she spat, "you and your fat [blank] couldn't catch a legless rabbit if it was on a plate in front of you," she growled, knowing that she was stepping into dangerous ground. She didn't care very much, though; she just hoped that if something serious happened, Holly would be smart enough to retreat.
Bumble stayed where she was thankfully, still occupied with the tv as it played a random show. She seemed not to mind what came on, which was an even bigger break for Holly, and she made her way towards the exposed leg inch by inch. At the climax of the show, Holly crawled her way onto the leg, making Bumble jerk and impulsively swipe her hands down, sweeping Holly off her. When Bumble did that, Holly yelped and tumbled on the covers for a moment, looking up to see Bumble flip around like a fish on land when she stopped. Bumble was squealing like a little baby, fumbling around to look for an object to kill Holly with. It made Holly laugh heartily until she saw a sizable book from a book shelf being held in Bumble's hand. 'Uh-oh.... Time to go,' Holly thought as she scurried away. Bumble shrieked and threw the book at her, thankfully not landing on her but tossing the spider in the air.
Holly gasped and flailed her eight legs as she came back down, somehow managing to grasp the wall with three of them. Holly panted as she looked back with a few of her eyes, seeing Bumble scramble to her with another hard object. Holly barely dashed out of range and scurried across the wall, with Bumble crying and shouting for the spider to go away. Holly couldn't help but to laugh, seeing how this was how she would react around a spider if it managed to crawl in her room. But being the one who is running for her life was more terrifying than what Holly could've imagined, and when you're this small, you have to use everything you know to survive. Suddenly, Holly was covered up by something, but she panicked too hard to tell what it was. 'Aahhhh! Let me go, let me go! Don't make me crawl on you,' Holly thought with flailing legs. She then realized herself to be wrapped in a soft material, figuring that she was caught in a napkin.
Holly huffed and tried to wriggle her way out of the folds of the napkin, but felt her body being squeezed bit by bit. She gasped and looked for something to grab, but what could she do? Holly whimpered and moved her arms helplessly, unbeknownst to her she had managed to touch Bumble's finger, making her lose her grip on Holly. Holly gasped and crawled up Bumble's arm with speed, determined to make Bumble sorry for squeezing her. Poor Bumble screamed and slammed herself against the wall, falling down as she tripped and slid down due to stepping on the book she threw earlier. Holly crawled down as fast as she could, thinking it was punishment enough for what she tried to do. A trashed room, distraught and paranoid for the next couple of hours, and a hurt back? Not bad for a first timer. Holly crawled away from Bumble as fast as she could, but she found that she had a bit of trouble moving as fast. Perhaps the mad dash for her life was more tiring than she had previously calculated. Holly felt the floor thumping behind her as Bumble tried on last time to kill her, making Holly force herself to dash to the underside of the door. She squeezed herself under the gap and slipped away, hearing a thudding sound behind the door, a result of Bumble trying to stomp on her with no luck. Holly panted and crawled to the wall to catch her breath, happy to have done a little chaos, but not eager to do such a thing anytime soon.
~~~~~~~~
Brittany was a bit surprised at the shove and stumbled back a bit, but she gained her footing very quickly. The insult that was made to her pissed her off rather quickly, making her growl as she thrusted herself onto Nozia, pinning her against the wall again. "You watch yourself Chops. You and that Circus Freak of a Shifter are on the top of my hit list. You may be my height, but you aren't stronger than me and I'll kill you where you stand.... Many students have been severely hurt by werewolves around this time of year from years past..... Who's to say you or Mutt Face won't be next?" Brittany threatened as she dig her claws in her arms.
Nozia's ears tilted straight forwards when she heard Brittany call Holly a 'Circus Freak'. Her eyes narrowed into two slits as she took a step forwards. She shook Brittany's grip on her. "Don't you dare call her a Circus Freak, you [blank]ing pup!" She shouted, shoving the werewolf harder, into the opposite wall. The faun lunged forwards, hoof aimed straight for the opposing girl's stomach. Out of the corner of her eye as she shifted her weight to cause more hurt, she spotted a spider on the wall. For a moment, she laughed, thinking that it was nature on her side, but she quickly realised that the spider was identical to the one Holly had transformed into; it was more likely that it was Holly then it was that it was just a random spider. Nozia smiled. "Job done?" She asked as she took a step back from the - possibly kicked, possibly not - werewolf.
Brittany gasped a little when she was shoved into the wall by Nozia, for she want expecting to be pushed around as such. She grunted when her back hit the wall, and she raised a hand to strike the fawn from the next insult she spat at her. But before she could do so, she felt a hoof in her abdomen, making her inadvertently yelp in pain. She snarled and grabbed at Nozia's leg in an attempt to get her off, but the pain had threw her focus off greatly, resulting in her not being able to put her full strength into her push. When Nozia stepped off of her to talk to what seemed like nothing, she stood up with a hand on her stomach, confused and angry about what just happened.
Holly looked up at Nozia's voice, surprised that she was already so close to her after leaving the room. She then remembered that she was supposed to be so close in case something happened, which Holly was very grateful for, and crawled to her as fast as she could. Brittany narrowed her eyes and saw the spider on the wall as well, and made a disgusted look on her face. "You talk to spiders? How insane are you?" Brittany said as she leaned against the wall. Holly huffed and dropped down to the floor to crawl to the middle of the hallway. She closed her eyes and quickly pictured a wolf in her head, causing her body to shift once more. After a short moment, Holly shifted into a large Gray Wolf, growling and putting her tail straight out behind her. "Leave Nozia alone Brittany. Go find someone else torment," Holly said with a tired pant. Brittany picked up on Holly's voice and grinned a little, making Holly lower an ear a little. "And why should I? You don't seem to be in a position to do anything," Brittany growled.
Nozia turned her attention to Brittany. "How insane am I?" She repeated, leaning forward to be almost touching noses with the werewolf. "I'm absolutely MENTAL!" She said in a sing-song voice, doing a little spin-dance before doing another spin, this one in the form of a roundhouse kick that, whilst surely hitting Brittany, would also be on course for Holly on the wall. Thankfully, the shapeshifter had moved (and changed species) and Nozia just scratched the paint on the wall.
The smile that went across her face at Holly's words was a mixture of empowerment, pride and happiness. "I nearly just incapacitated you or whatever with a kick. I think that's the position we're in," she pointed in with a tiny, b*tchy smile.
Brittany growled when Nozia got in her face, but wasn't very relaxed with her answer either. She was going to strike at her until she suddenly got stuck by Nozia's hoof. She slammed her back on the wall with a large thud, immediately holding her chest as the air rushed out of her lungs. She struggled to breathe, and she wheezed as she tried to stand back up, though she tried her absolute best to not let the Fawn and Shifter know. She finally stood up after a few minutes, letting her body absorb the pain in her chest as she glared at Holly and Nozia. "That... Was a big mistake you walking dead meat!" Brittany snarled as she stalked closer to Nozia. Holly gasped and lowered he ears as the werewolf approached Nozia, hesitant on attacking her for multiple reasons. When Brittany got a bit closer, Holly closed her eyes and rammed Brittany's leg, backing up to push Nozia back. She whined a little as she looked back at her friend, fearing that things were going to quickly get out of hand within these small hallways... Well they weren't really that small, but they certainly weren't big enough for a fighting werewolf to swing her arms around. Brittany glared down at Holly with narrowed eyes and went towards the two with no sign of restraint being prominent. Holly braced for another attack when she heard multiple footsteps going down a hallway, halting Brittany and making the two perk their senses towards the sounds.
It sounded like a teacher thank God. The sounds seemed to snap Brittany back into a more sensual state, making her back up with a huffing growl. "You better watch yourself mutts... This isn't over," Brittany snarled as she turned and retreated down the opposite way. Holly was extremely thankful for these new sounds, but at the same time, she was worried about being caught by whomever owned the feet. Holly panted with increasing tiredness as she nudged Nozia's leg and ran down the hallway that held their room, looking back to see if Nozia was following. "Come on! We can't be seen out here... At least not in this condition," Holly barked.
Nozia had no intentions to back down. She took a step closer to Brittany, but found Holly nearly under her hooves. She began to sober up, out of her anger, and began to realise how stupid she was being. The size of the corridor was horrible for fighting, and she didn't know when the next full moon was; if it was recent, Brittany certainly wouldn't forget about them. However, when Brittany began to charge - at least, it looked like she would, she used her long leg to sweep Holly away, in a way that if the attack happened, then Nozia would take it all.
She froze, ears twitching like mad, upon hearing the steps going. She quickly identified it as some sort of high heeled person - that made it gravitate towards a teacher - or a person with hooves. Still, Nozia did not want to take the risk. She looked back at Brittany. "Back at you!" She hissed, and then looked back at Holly. She nodded in a 'let's go' way, and then got on all fours, using light footing to minimise identifiable sound. She rushed into the room, holding the door for Holly and then quietly closing it, locking it behind her. "Quickly, go back to normal!" She whispered, rolling her hand at the wrist.
"I'm gonna pull a trick, so don't ask!" She added quietly. With her horrific, far too long and sharp index finger nail, she poked her cheek. By adding pressure, she eventually cut through her skin. "If a teacher asks, Brittany did this," she whispered, licking off the blood on her fingernail and going off the the en suite to stop the bleeding.
Holly dashed right into their room when it was opened by Nozia. She skidded on the floor and slammed her side on the dresser, forcing her to clench her teeth to keep from yelping too loudly. Holly at this point was exhausted, but she needed to change.... That was, if she could. Holly whined and lowered her ears as she stared at the door and Nozia, wondering what she was doing. She gasped when her cheek began to bleed, making Holly worry about what her friend was doing. The clopping sounds grew closer and closer to their door as seconds passed, with a female voice accompanied by another going at each other.
"What was that?" One voice asked.
"I don't know Selia. But it sounded like other students... Do you think they are still around here?" The voice asked in a cautious voice.
"No I don't think so.... Either way we need to get to the other teachers... The full moon is tomorrow, and we all know what that means," the first voice said with a huff. Soon the voices and sounds of feet receded in the distance of the corridors, eventually leaving the two alone once more.
Whilst the teachers passed, Nozia made normal students-during-summer conversation. "Hey, Holly, how about we go down to the club building to see what clubs are gonna be on next year?" She asked, winking at the other girl to tell her to play along, if she could transform quickly enough.
Once the teachers had passed over them - much like the angel of death during the passover - Nozia sighed in relief and sunk against the door. She pressed her furred arm against her cheek, turning the fur that made contact blood red. "This was in case they came in," she whispered, pointing at the cut, "but since they didn't, just say that I fell and cut it on a rock," she said with a sigh, resting her head against the door. She hadn't yet registered the whole 'full moon thing’.
Holly wanted to play along with the little charade that Nozia was trying to push with, but she couldn't bring herself to speak, as she was too tired to speak in what would be practically breathless speech. Thankfully, the teachers had passed their room, which gave Holly more freedom to do what she'd normally do in her room, she stumbled a little over to Nozia and licked her hand and cheek, then plopped on Nozia's lap with a small whine. "Sure... We'll say that. You sure like to make a scene Nozia," Holly said with a light tail wag.
Nozia frowned when Holly didn't join in, not seeing the reason why until she saw the way that the shapeshifter's shoulders were rising and falling, like a frantic sun that didn't know if it wanted to be up or down. "I need a tissue," she mumbled, going to stand up before Holly plonked her wolf ass down on her legs. "Don't eat me, tiger," she teased when the temporary wolf licked at her face and hand. She smiled, the bleeding on her cheek rekindling anew as she broke whatever vague barrier had been made. "You're pretty cute when you're a dog," she said, using her nails to scratch her neck - obviously with less pressure than she'd put on to cut herself.
Holly snorted when Nozia teased her about not being eaten, putting a claw on her friend's chest as she spoke. "Very funny. One, I'm a wolf not a tiger... Two, I'm a wolf not a dog," Holly said with a chuckling bark. "And three, goats aren't my meat type; now if you were a lamb or a chicken or something then you'd have a problem," Holly said as she closed her eyes to the scratching on her neck. The way Nozia's nails felt on Holly's neck coupled with how tired she was at the moment made her relax quickly, her tail wagging from side to side as Holly stretched her body out. The wolf put a paw over her snout and sighed, with her quickly in the process of dozing off.
"C'mon, it was a joke!" Nozia complained, scratching under Holly's chin teasingly. Nozia giggled at her friend, not listening to her arguments as she slowly watched the wolf drift off into a slumber. "You're so...cute." She repeated, pulling the wolf into a large hug. She buried her face into the wolf's collarbones, sighing slightly. Suddenly, a gong went off in her head as she finally realised what the teachers had said. Her nails unintentionally dug into the wolf's body as she hugged the wolf tighter, like a frightened child with their teddy bear. "They said it was a full moon tonight...oh god..." she whispered.
Holly sighed dreamily when she was being scratched, for it was helping her sleep rather quickly. With her closed eyes, Holly wagged her fluffy tail gently, not even minding when she was being hugged by Nozia. She liked being touched as such, though, she did her best to never show such behavior out in public, for fear of really being treated like an animal by her peers... Nozia was the only person she would act in such a way to, and even then she'd be a bit embarrassed to act in such a way at times.
It wasn't long before Holly drifted closer to a deeper sleep, but before her body got to that point, the wolf began to feel a pinching pain on multiple parts of her body. Her mind started to wake back up, increasing the pain that the wolf was feeling. She tried to shift her body, but the pain was worse when she moved, causing the wolf to whine. "Oww..... Nozia what are you- OW! Nozia that hurts!" Holly yelped as she quickly opened her eyes.
Nozia flinched as Holly yelped and let go of the wolf all at once, dropping her into her lap as soon as she realised that she'd been digging in her nails. She quickly looked at her nails, and was glad to see that she hadn't actually pierced the skin. She sighed and pulled her knobbly knees up to her chin, holding around her legs with her arms. "Those teachers that passed, they said that it was a full moon tonight, didn't they?" She whispered, pushing herself back into the door as if the werewolfs would come pushing through all at once. She had always been smart enough to not pick fights with werewolfs if there was a full moon in the next week, but there was a first time for everything.
"Just putting our cupboard up against the door won't cut it this time." She mumbled, taking Holly out of her lap and putting her on the floor so that she could stand up. She looked around the room, thinking about what extra reinforcement they could use.
Holly shook her fur when she felt herself being dropped into Nozia's lap, licking her arms and sides as she listened to Nozia's worry. Nozia's heartbeat was a bit quick when she was pulled up against the Fawn's chest, making Holly realize that Nozia was really fearful about something. She whined when she was carried off of Nozia,, though she tilted her head in a bit of confusion when she stated the reason of her worry. "No Nozia, you didn't hear them right; the teacher said that the full moon was tomorrow, not tonight. Sure that isn't much time, but we still have a little bit before we reinforce the door... So just relax alright?" Holly said as she nuzzled Nozia's cheek.
Nozia hesitated, then sighed. "Are you sure?" She asked, putting her hands out in front of her as if to ground herself. "Because there's no chance that I'm taking any...well, chances." She said, pressing her lips together in a tight line. She kept on looking around the room. Apart from the cupboard, which they had moved to permanently sit near the door so that in an emergency they could topple it over and at least stay a little safe, there were a few more things. Some sort of trap could likely be made out of spare bedsheets from their drawers and some noisy things (plates from the cafeteria, maybe?).
Holly nodded as she put a paw on Nozia's lap in an attempt to calm her down. "Yes I'm sure. I heard them say it. I'm pretty sure that's why Brittany was behaving like she was. But it's over now, so you don't have to worry," Holly said with a yip of encouragement. Holly wanted to get Nozia's mind off of the full moon; she knew that Nozia would do the same for her. "Come on Nozia, move away from the door," Holly said with a small giggle as she wagged her tail and pawed at Nozia's hooves.
Nozia turned her head to the dog. "Ugh, alright," she said, not thinking about the tripwire plan she was already began to sort out in her head. She scooped Holly up and slowly stood to her feet, stroking the wolf from head to tail like a cat as she walked over to the window. "Dude, I am so tired." She complained, but she was not the sort of person to nap. She began to roll her brain through all the places in the school that wouldn't be occupied by people who would want to pick fights.
Holly blinked when she felt herself being scooped up by Nozia, feeling similar to a cat as she was carried to the window. She wagged her tail and looked out at the large campus that she, Nozia, and many others called home, sighing at the warm air that blew in through the window. She picked up many different scents: Mr. Sidebar somewhere near the tennis court, Brittany stalking along the fields, and a few other students that Holly didn't care to mention. When Nozia mentioned being tired, Holly nodded and sighed lightly, letting her legs go limp as she looked up to her. "Yeah, me too. All that shifting got me a bit weary. I still have to get used to the draining risk that shifting brings," Holly said as she gave a big yawn.
Nozia snickered at Holly's yawn. "You're so cute," she repeated, scratching underneath the wolf's jaw. She looked back out at the school, staring at the now empty tennis court. "Looks like it might be time for dinner soon," she said, nodding towards the empty outside areas. "And we have had a brilliant first day of the summer, haven't we?" She asked sarcastically with another snicker. "We nearly got killed by, what, two separate werewolfs?" She tilted her head back a little as she laughed.
Holly wagged her tail a little when Nozia scratched her chin, sticking her tongue out a little as she looked stared out the window. "Am I really that cute for you to say that how many times now?" Holly asked with a chuckling huff. At Nozia's sarcastic statement, Holly chuckled more, shaking her head as she began to respond. "Oh yeah, such a wonderful start to the summer. Something tells me that running for our lives is going to be a pastime for these next wonderful summer weeks. But I really don't want to deal with any werewolves for a while thank you... They are to hyper-aggressive for me if you ask me... They need a damn chill pill... And we have to meet them during dinner... Grrrreeat," Holly growled as she looked up to Nozia. "What are we having for dinner? I can't seem to remember what we're having tonight," Holly asked with a tilted head.
"Yes you are very cute but not when you're talking because you're very cheeky." Nozia scolded, opening the window a little farther than it already was. "Get cheeky with me and I'll throw you out the window!" She teased, looking down at the drop from the fourth floor. "And if I have anything to say, we paper Mr. Much's at least once." She said with a snicker, eyes flickering with glee as she thought about how angry that he would get. "We should get, like, pepper spray or something to hold them off. Or let's just wear silver twenty-four seven." She suggested jokingly. She looked around the room. "Hold up. I think I picked up a menu from the canteen." He said, putting Holly down on the floor. She walked over to her bedside table and began to rifle through it. She pulled out one from a previous year, and then finally the right one. "Uhh...soup." She groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on Nozia I'm not cheeky when I talk," Holly said with a snort when Nozia opened the window. She growled and looked out the window at Nozia's threat, smirking as she looked up with a taunting yip. "You do forget that I can change into any animal.... I can just fly away you old goat," Holly said with a small stick out of her tongue. At Nozia's suggestions to her statements, Holly shook her head with an amused chuckle, licking a paw as she was carried around. When Nozia put her down on the floor, she padded over to where Nozia was sifting through the papers, sitting down as she searched for the right one. Once found, Holly wagged her tail a little, tilting her head when Nozia groaned. "What? What's wrong with soup? It's not terrible tasting," Holly said with a shake of her head.
Nozia giggled. "I'll hold your wings," she said, ignoring the logistic flaws in the moment. "Or I'll break them, if you'd prefer that," she whispered almost seductively, leaning in close to Holly's ear for a second, before loudly giggling. She leaned away and looked back at the food menu. "Because it's soup!" Nozia insisted. "It's like, 'I'm too lazy to eat food, so lets make it liquid!" She raised her voice, somehow avoiding laughing, though her face showed her struggle. She sat down on her bed and swung her body around so that her hooves were against the wall and her head was hanging upside down, off the bed. "Also, in horror novels, they use it to describe dead bodies and [blank]." She said, sticking her tongue out. "Like; 'there was a soup of various organs on the floor...'..." she said, deepening her voice to a traditional campfire story level. She squirmed her fingers in Holly's direction like pinkish centipedes with white mouthpieces.
Holly leaned back and cocked her ears at Nozia mentioning her breaking her wings, for she didn't like that idea at all. "I'd like to keep my wings intact thank you very much," Holly grumbled with a hard thump of her tail. When Nozia spoke her reasons about the soup, Holly shook her head and chuckled, amused at the joke she made. "Oh come on Nozia, you just had to make the analogy with gore and stuff... I like soup, don't ruin it for me! I don't know what you're gonna eat... You can always eat some Cheddar and Potatoes. That's a good selection.... Or maybe they'll have vegetable soup for those who don't like a 'soupy organ' slop in their bowl," Holly said with a dismissive paw.
Nozia shrugged. "There's no way you can't think about gore when you're looking at unidentifiable globs of meat floating about in some weird liquid!" She pointed out, raising her voice with every italicised word. She stuck out her tongue at mention of the cheddar and potatoes, face painted in vague disgust. "I hate cheese!" She reminded her friend. "I'm part goat, Holly, remember? Cows cheese is absolutely mingin'!" She sighed and slinked off of her bed, sitting crosslegged on the floor. "Whatever. I'll make do with organ soup." She said, prodding Holly's nose with the tip of her finger, avoiding touching her with her killer nails.
Holly shook her head with a smirk as she listened to her friend argue about soup. At the disgusted look on her friend's face for the cheddar soup, she lowered her ears. "Oh yeah.... Sorry, I forgot! No delicious cheese for you," Holly teased as she scratched her side with her hind leg. "I'm pretty sure they have something for those up don't like soup.... Like crackers.... Oooor a sandwich. Nothing compliments soup like a sandwich," Holly said with a light yip. She cocked her ears back when Nozia poked her nose, unconsciously sticking her tongue out as she opened her mouth. "Now what are you doing?" Holly asked.
Nozia rolled her eyes. "You need to stop being so cheeky," she teased. She turned her body around and kicked in Holly's general direction, though if it hit it wouldn't hurt. She pulled her legs back up onto the bed. "Look, I don't wanna leave the room any time soon. I mean, what if Brittany comes at us again? I'll be forced to kill her!" She said, sitting on the bed. She touched a hand to her chest as if she really, genuinely felt bad about having to murder such an atrocious bully. She laughed and put her hand back down on the bed. "Seriously though, she's probably talking about us with those bimbos of hers right now. They'll all be looking out for us."
