The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow

Youngmin P.O.V.

As I was changing into my pajamas I heard the door open and close behind me. I could sense Iris on the other side of the door.

'Why is she here?' I thought to myself as I quickly finished changing.

I walked over to the door and hesitated. I tried to sense her again. Her presence was not the same as any other werewolves that I knew. 'Is she really a werewolf?' I thought to myself. 'Maybe her parents would know why her presence is different. I should ask them in the morning.'

As I opened the door, I felt something fall against my legs. I looked down and saw Iris. My heart started beating faster.

"You okay?" I asked her.

"I'm fine." she replied.

"Why did you open my door?"

"Your door?"

"Yeah, my door. This is my room."

"But my parents told me that I could stay in this room." she said with a confused expression on her face.

"That would explain why they replaced my bed with a much larger one." I looked back towards my bed. Iris’s parents had traded my old twin sized bed for a new king sized bed a few weeks ago.

"I won't intrude if I don't have to. I can just go ask my parents if there is another room that I could stay in." Iris said as she turned around and walked back down the hallway.

I closed the door and took a deep breath, hoping to slow my heart down. It has never beaten this fast before. Is it because of Iris?

I went and layed down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. After a few minutes I felt Iris’s presence near my door, so I walked over and opened it.

“So, where are you staying?” I asked.

“Looks like my parents are forcing me to stay here with you.”

Once I heard that, my heart sped up again and I felt my face get hot out of embarrassment. I stepped out of the doorway so she could enter.

I watched her as she looked around my room. She seemed to like my closet for some reason.

“Hey, give me two of your pillows and a blanket.” Iris ordered me while looking into the closet. “And take the clothes out of the closet that you will wear tomorrow.”

‘Why would she want those.’ I thought as I went to go and get was she asked for. I grabbed two pillows from the bed and the extra blanket from under it the went and placed it by her feet. I then went into the closet and grabbed clothes for tomorrow. Before I exited the closet, I looked at Iris, then grabbed her some sweatpants and a baggy sweater.

“Here, put these on. They will be more comfortable.” I told her as I placed the clothes by her feet, my heart still racing.

“Thanks.”

“No problem. Uh, goodnight.” I said quickly before scurrying off to my bed.

I heard the closet door close. I was kind of sad that she decided to stay in there instead of with me.

I walked over to my bed and collapsed onto it. As I snuggled under the blankets, I kept thinking of Iris. She seemed happy when she was with that other group of boys. I wonder if she will ever get that comfortable around us.

As I started to fall asleep, Iris never left my mind.

‘Is this what they call love?” I thought as I gave in to the temptation of sleep.
