Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.

Hawethorn Village

Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.

Raven eats her food slowly as if savoring every bite. I'm curious of this method since I've always thought that eating what you can when you can is the easiest way to survive cause you never know when you're going to get your next meal. That's the way I was raised. It feels natural to be eating a meal with her, more natural than anything else right now. Everyone, no matter what they are, needs to eat. She is slowly earning my trust. No one has ever offered me food before, at least not without a price. I keep glancing at her, almost as if waiting for the ball to drop and she tells me what she needs from me. Yet she doesn't seem to need anything. It's strange to me and yet refreshing.

I wonder how well she knows the other Weres and beings that she's come across. Are any of them her friend? Does she hang out with anyone or is she truly and utterly alone? That would be sad, but then that's the situation I was in before I met her. I wonder if she knows of a pack in this town. Would she choose to join them or would she choose to stay a loner? I wonder what will happen after this. Will she still want to hang out or will she want to be alone again? I would actually prefer company even if I'm nervous when I'm around anyone. It would be nice to be able to talk to someone.

Besides Nadya, Raven is the first female Were I've come across. Both seem equally nice though Raven understand what I went through a lot better. Nadya is so confident of herself. She seems like she can take care of herself no matter what and she seems to like her pack. Raven is more cautious, confident enough to know she can stand on her own without anyone to support her. It's admirable. The only male Were I've come across was not very nice. He tried to carry me like a purse and he was very demanding and manipulative. I don't like him but I know I'll meet other characters like that so I need to learn how to talk my way out of awkward situations. It's just another adaptation to survival here.

I've smelled other Weres in town but I was too scared to approach them. Some seem to be shop owners and regular businessmen, just like the humans you see on the street. If I didn't have a sense of smell to tell me when there's something different about someone, I would never know them from a human. It's weird to see Weres working at jobs and making money. In my pack, we lived off the land and nobody had to buy anything. You had to kill what you eat or die trying. At least it was before they found out my gift and decided to use me accordingly.

I used to wonder what it would be like to have a mate, someone I can trust who supports me. I remember the couples in our pack vividly. They smiled a lot and kissed and touched and neither flinched. They seemed safe and happy and I envied them. Yet all the men my father looked at and wanted me to impress looked at me with disgust and pity. I couldn't see myself being happy and safe with any of them.

When I compliment her name, Raven grins, a rosy blush covering her cheeks and my eyes brighten. It's new and different to see someone deriving pleasure from something I said. I like the feeling. When she asks me about what I'm going to do with my life, I shrug it off, saying I only think about survival. I've made no plans for a place to live or what I'm going to do with my time. I only know that I plan to stay alive from one day to the next. Raven's eyes shifted up as she replied, saying she doesn't mind if I want to stay. My eyes widen, not sure I heard her right at first.

"Really? Are you sure? I mean, I'm really quiet. You would hardly know I'm here. I'll mind my own business and you don't even have to feed me if you don't want to. I can go out and get food for myself. I wouldn't mind the company though..."

My voice trails off, my own cheeks blushing now because I was rambling a bit there. I've never had anyone offer something like this. She actually wants me around? It's strangely pleasant. I know that Raven has been alone and maybe she's offering because she understands that feeling. When I talk about hide and seek, she looks confused, telling me she wasn't allowed to play. I scowl and shrug.

"Well, it wasn't exactly play for me either but at the time, it was kind of...exhilarating. It's a nice feeling to know you're safe, that no one can find you."

I mumble near the end, aware that I'm heading into personal territory since I'm talking about my own feelings when I was hiding from my father. I shift in my chair, aware that we need to change the subject now or something, anything before the silence drags on. Suddenly Raven gets up with the plates to go wash them. I jump a little at the movement but make myself relax. She's not going to hurt me. I'm just going to have keep telling myself that. I watch with curiosity as she washes them in the sink before putting them in this odd appliance. As she turns back to me and leans against the counter, I straighten up as if she's a drill sergeant. I tilt my head, listening as she tells me how she feels when she shifts. I nod in understanding.

"It's easier to be an animal than a human. Everything seems so much more open when you're on four legs, like there's nowhere you can't go, nothing you can't do. But sometimes it's good to see the other perspective too."

I offer a gentle smile as I look down at the table.
