When Ella arrived at the house her brother was waiting for her. She knew what was coming, her brother was overly protective and was most likely gonna yell at her. She saw this coming, she couldn't hide it now. She smelled like the woods, her clothes were torn. While she was running she had fallen a few times, she could be clumsy in a rush. But when it came to battle she was always fierce. She was just as protective over her brother as he was to her. They had to bond when they were close, and Ella had been viewed as a mistake by her parents. Ella wasn't supposed to be born. Her brother who had been born 2 years prior, and was now 18 had been there for her. As they grew older they grew closer. She could tell he was upset and in one of his moods. [color=f7976a]"Before you say anything..."[/color] She was cut off by Jacob. [color=6ecff6]"What were you thinking? Why did I even let you leave? Clearly, you got into some trouble and had to run. What if you were seen? Did you think of that? Not to mention your clothes being torn, which means you had to run. Mind telling me why? Were you seen? Or did you find the body and get scared?[/color] Jacob said in a rather overprotective aggressive tone. Ella looked down...she had to tell him that someone might have seen her...but could she? She sighed as she started to struggle within her own mind. [color=f7976a]"Fine I MAY have been seen. I don't know. In full honesty, I started running because I found the body. The body was ripped in half, any person in their right mind would run from that. Stop worrying so much, I know I have to be careful. I've been a wolf since I was little, I know how to control myself."[/color] She said this slightly upset. Why was he questioning her? Oh right, it was a full moon...he got more protective and aggressive when a full moon was out. They both did. Jacob sighed as he tried to calm himself down. [color=6ecff6]"It's a full moon, and YOU decided to go outside. For what? To find a stupid body, that as you stated was scary enough that you ran from it. Will you ever learn to just let things go?"[/color] He was making a slight jab at her flashbacks. He was praying she didn't notice...but she was wrong. Jacob's comment about letting things go was enough to set her off. She felt her anger building and took deep breaths to control it. This was normal of them, while they cared for each other they tended to argue just as much as they were nice to each other. [color=f7976a]"This is enough, I'm going to bed. Next time you want to make regret something don't tell me to let things go. I can't control my flashbacks."[/color]. With this, she stormed upstairs and slammed her door before going to sleep. [hr] Ella upon waking up in the morning got a shower, she always woke up before her brother because she had more of a routine. As she had to put multiple earrings in, she had her typical ones but she was changing it this time. So she had to be up early, she was only wearing new ones since she was in a new place. She was changing her style slightly too. As much as she hated to have her tattoos out she also wanted to make a good impression, she while not caring what other people thought still sometimes cared about what they thought of her. She was putting her hair up today too, something she normally didn't do. As an hour passed she was finally ready, she was wearing black leggings, and she decided instead of wearing her hoodie she would wear a crop top. She didn't want to appear, vulnerable or weak. Her bottom earrings were a pair, one was a wolf the other a full moon, only people who looked closely could tell it was more than a wolf. She never had this problem when wearing them so she felt she was safe to wear them to school. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, her back tattoo was also slightly visible. She had a jacket in case she got dress codded, she doubted she would but she still wanted to be sure. Ella moved downstairs and let her brother take the upstairs area. They would be leaving in an hour, and her brother didn't take long to get ready. Well after is 15 or 20-minute shower he didn't. They both woke up early, well her brother slightly early, just to make sure they were ready on time. She started making breakfast, a quick breakfast of eggs and bacon, which was typical for them. She looked up as her brother walked into the kitchen she made him a plate before starting her apology. [color=f7976a]"I'm sorry I went out when I shouldn't have...I can never stay mad at you. I know I should have turned around as soon as I saw it was a full moon. I should have been more careful. I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry for slamming the door too."[/color] She smiled slightly at her brother, her mood was a little somber and she didn't want to seem too depressed. So she put a smile on and acted as if she was fine. It wasn't anything she couldn't handle on her own. She had to be independent, well as much as she could be. Jake looked up at Ella with a sympathetic look, [color=6ecff6]"It's okay, I'm sorry too for making that comment...I could hear your screams last night...I was to mad to come over...I'm sorry I should have come over." [/color] Ella smiled,[color=f7976a]"It's okay just a small flashback, I'm okay now."[/color] She smiled, as well as her brother knew her well and he could tell it was fake. He didn't bother to say anything he didn't want to ruin her mood before they went to school. He motioned for her to sit and start eating herself. She finished her meal decently fast...it was a bad habit of hers. [color=6ecff6]"Let's get to school lots of new people to meet. And please be careful to not expose anything. I don't need hunters poking around in our business.[/color] Jacob said. [color=f7976a]"I won't expose us. I've been doing this for years."[/color] She smiled as they left for school
