Dancing with the devil, dont you dare look at him in the eye

Our lives are made in these small hours

Lucette didn’t smile, didn’t shift her gaze away from Bae-Syl as he spoke of his demon. The thing wanted him to wear her pelt? Gross. She wrinkled her nose at that, growling a little. “She won’t get that.” She spoke seriously. She had no intention of ever being worn like some cape like her mother’s snow leopard hide. She was small, but she wasn’t going to be pushed around by any creature. Not even a demon like Bae’s. She wasn’t Bae. And Lucette wouldn’t let her do the things that Bae-Syl didn’t want her to do.

As Bae continued Lucette shook her head, speaking firmly. “No.” It was a flat-out refusal to comply. “Even if others don’t accept you, even my parents, I don’t care. It’s never been about what others think or want for me, you know this.” Lucette continued to frown thoughtfully. “Going to a pack is no big deal; I’ve never been sold on the idea anyway. Do you think they’d accept me? The weird kid who’d rather mess with a broken bone and talks about becoming a bloodstain across rocks or grass? There’s a reason I stick with only you, Bae.” She furrowed her brow.

“We’re both different and in different ways. We’re not meant to be pack wolves, and who cares? We’ve got each other’s back. That’s why, even if you give me these fighting lessons, no matter what, I’m not taking you out.” Lucy stomped the paw furthest away from Bae-Syl on the ground. “I’m sure she’s whispering things like you can’t win against her, she’s too strong, blah blah blah. Shut up, bitch.” Lucette’s gaze narrowed.

“Let me make it clear to all of you, Bae. I’m not afraid. I’m not scared of you, her, your cousins… I’m small, but I’m not helpless. And I’m going to prove it. I’ll keep fighting, and be strong for you. I won’t let anyone take me out.” Her gaze softened. “I can’t say that I’d ever be able to seriously hurt you though Bae, or kill you if it came down to it. It’s… It’s not about being able to physically.” She lowered her gaze. “You’re my bestie, the only wolf who has ever looked at me like I was ‘normal’ and that it’s okay to be me. You make me feel safe, happy… and how, when we’re making all these memories, can you ever expect me to look at you, and see your handsome face, and not remember those instead of seeing that demon taking you over? Even if I saw her light in your eyes… how could I take you out, knowing you could still be in there?” Tears started to sting her eyes.

“Just like when you got hurt… I got so scared… I kept thinking what if something happened and you died? It wouldn’t be us anymore… I… I don’t know if I can live with that.” She whined. “Being with you is so natural… Even when I go off and wander… all I can think about is you. Sometimes I even scold myself, knowing you might worry…” She lifted her gaze back up to his. “So you have to try… don’t give into the idea that one day you might lose to her… cause you can’t. You won’t. I don’t care how strong she seems!” Lucy whined again. “You’re strong too, Bae… you are…”
