Whispers Under the Moonlight [Lesbian Story]

A Ballad for the Moon

Itching to clean, Katherine approached one of the kitchen staff and queried them for any volunteer help; she assumed that her weekends would be like this – nothing to do, but hang out with friends. She remained uncertain if they would allow them to return to their families on the weekends or just on holidays; not that she wanted to.

Once she has done her query, she thanked the lady and returned to her seat; as she got nearer, she noticed the soldiers in the other table that were casually eyeing Hailey, which made her raise a brow as much as she felt a little anger rise inside her. Why are they looking at her? she asked herself whilst she sat down next to her.

Ori noticed Katherine's hardened stare and reached out for her hand from the opposite side; the wolf's grey eyes darted towards her and nearly raised a brow. Ori nudge to the direction of her seething gaze as if to ask her what was bothering her, but Katherine merely shook her head and retracted her hand.

"I'll see you guys later," Katherine proclaimed as she stood up and walked towards the exit; she could hear the faint whisper of the duo's conversation behind her and could only sigh at them. No, she was not going to visit Jesslyn or her family as they claim her to be; she was not really interested in seeing them right now.

As she stepped out into the open, the warm morning air rushed towards her and made her skin feel warm; the autumn breeze brought nothing but a fine chill to everyone's spine, but not to the wolves. Katherine took a deep breath as she started for the forest, hoping to be alone for a few minutes or even fall asleep with nature as the day went on.

There was nothing for her to do here and there was no homework to be done; she was so used to often doing house chores that laying back on the grass felt a little boring and lonely. A sigh escaped her lips once again as nostalgia came running to her memory bank just to yank out an old film – flashbacks of the days she still served the founder of this institution.

As she made her way to the forest, she smelt the air and caught a faint scent of cinnamon in the air; it felt so fresh as though it was taken out of her mind just for her to take in. Passing through the trees, she tried to look for a good spot to rest her mind, unsure whether she should try to train once again; her powers were still an enigma to her.

Delving deeper into the forest, she found a small glade inside with just a patch of soft grass; it was surrounded by tall pine trees as much as there were a few small bushes that had some pale blue berries on them. She approached the small clearing and sat in the centre, before she slowly leant back against the soft green grass.

The leaves blocked the sun and provided adequate shade, enough for the birds to lull her to sleep; she stared at the sky as a few pockets of sunlight burst through the thicket of leaves. Why are they here? she wondered as she recalled last night's sudden visit; Jesslyn did not provide a solid answer – too distracted by the presence of her lady love.

The memory made her sigh, but realised that Hailey was there; it made her wonder what she was doing there and in her pyjamas. She was aware that her room was totalled and unprotected, but that does not mean she can bunk in with any teacher.

Can she?

"What are you doing here?"

Bolting up, Katherine turned to voice as she saw a familiar pair of brown eyes stood in front of her; she sighed at her presence that still looked utterly gothic, yet cool on its own. The long, red leather jacket she wore that had the left sleeve cut off looked really fancy with her fingerless gloves, but her look was more intimidating by the tall combat boots she wore; her dark, leather shorts only told anyone that she was sexy – enough to kill you.

Literally.

"I had nothing to do, Cecil," Katherine replied as she lied back down, "You nearly scared me."
