Bill turned to look at the club leader, Louis, as he walked closer to the two. The tiger felt anger in the pit of his stomach knowing that the red deer was looking for the human he was conversing with. It seemed like everything that happened to him was ended by Louis.
"Louis, I've missed you"
[F/n] faintly smiled at the red deer, her actions causing Bill to look back and forth in between the two. Feeling some sort of force connecting the two of them together. Thought the tiger wasn't going to question how they knew each other, he did feel a bit jealous of the herbivore for knowing the girl seemingly well.
"I've missed you as well [F/n]...and Bill,"
The deer turned his attention to the tiger. Forcing his gaze off of his paw that was still touching the girl to his face. His stone cold face returned as he faced the Bengal tiger. Not wanting to show any other emotion towards anyone else but the frail girl in front of him.
He couldn't help but feel angry seeing the tiger was already touching the girl. He had only JUST be informed of her reaching the grounds less than 10 minutes ago. And to see that he was already being touchy with the girl that Louis swore to keep safe, was infuriating.
"You are go I will handle her from here on out. Not that you were needed anyway"
The words hit the carnivore hard, seeing as someone who was seen so high up said them to him specifically. But while it did hurt, it also put a fire inside of him. There was no way he was just going to bow down to this deer. Taking another glance at the little [h/c] haired girl watching he decided to let out a small growl before walking off.
"Bye [F/n], I'll be seeing you"
"Yeah...bye bye Bill"
Louis glared at the Tiger's back as he walked off. Knowing full well the male only said goodbye to her to get to the deer. But he wasn't going to let it bother him, after all he had already been more than a few dozens steps in front of him for the girl. Seeing as the both of them grew up together.
He turned back to finally look at [F/n]'s face. Taking in all of her features, seeing how much more grownup she had gotten since the last time he saw her face. Though he wasn't going to deny it was still as entrancing as the last time he looked at it. For once, he allowed a smile to crawl onto his own face as he stared at her.
"Shall I show you around?"
════ ⋆★⋆ ════
"So...he..."
The girls lips trembled as she stared ahead of her. If she would've known where Louis planned to show her first she would've requested to skip it. Not wanting to see the sad reminder that had been placed for the whole school, as both a reminder and a warning for those who wanted to continue.
"Yes, his name was Tem and he was apart of the drama club"
"I'm so sorry Louis..."
The deer gave her a side glance before engulfing her hand in his own. Taking small comfort in how much smaller hers were compared to his. It relaxed him in just the slightest notion, making him glad she was here now, and he was able to do this whenever he pleased.
"It's alright, you weren't here nor was it your fault"
"But..."
The girl couldn't help but feel bad. The young Alpaca displayed in the picture looked so happy. He had his whole life ahead of him and to think it was cut short so abruptly. She had no idea that someone had died in the school.
Almost as if feeling her emotions, Louis' hand tightened around her own. Pulling her body just the slightest bit closer to comfort her. Though this was to introduce her to his dead classmate, it was also to show her the reality of life and warn her. It was a simple way to keep her far away from the carnivores that were inside of the school.
"That's what happens"
"Happens when what Louis?"
"When herbivores think that they can befriend carnivores. Our instincts are to run away, and it should stay that way"
His eyes lined up with [F/n]'s perfectly. The hazel brown clashed with her own [e/c] as he tried to convince her naturally. So many dangers lurked in this world, so many things could kill her without a second thought, and Louis wanted to make sure that didn't happen.
He had sworn since he was younger, that he'd protect the girl that he knew wouldn't be able to protect herself. At first, he didn't know if he promised it for himself or for his father. But now, now it was clear to him. Louis didn't promise him or his father that, he promised her. A promise that she would never be able to hear but she would just know by her instincts.
That Louis was there as a guardian for her. Someone he hoped she would be able to confine in for anything, even lust. A long shot sure, but he had to do something to suppress the urges he felt towards her. And to him, this was the best way to do it.
'I promise you [F/n]...I will protect you'

"You can't be serious!"
Kai let out, staring at the tiger in front of him much like everyone else. All staring at the male trying to take in the words that just left his mouth.
"I'm serious, she's a living, breathing human."
"Why did she suddenly transfer here?"
Ellen pitched in, still trying to understand the situation. She didn't think that a human coming to the school was impossible, but the reasons for her suddenly showing up were still uncertain to her. Mostly because she had never met or seen the human.
In fact the only person in the room who had was the tiger. And knowing Bill, some of the things he said weren't the truth, so something so far pitch as a human at school was a bit harder to believe for the others.
"I don't know. All I know is that she smelled like vanilla and went off somewhere with Louis"
"You SMELLED her!?"
Bill and Kai got into a small argument over sniffing the new human girl. While Legosi watched off to the side. His ears catching each part of the conversation. After all a human wasn't someone that was seen everyday. Also knowing that they went off with Louis set off the curiosity in him. It shouldn't be any of his business but he couldn't help but think about what was happening.
'Is that why he was yelling earlier?'
The grey wolf questioned himself. He couldn't help but let the curious thoughts rain over him. Almost as if it was consuming all of his thoughts. To think someone who he hasn't even met yet would have such an effect. But then again most people here will react that way seeing as she's a human.
'She might be a target here...'
He couldn't help but think. Looking back on what happened to Tem not so long ago. It was a huge difference, but the fact that she was human wasn't going to be helping in her case. Someone would definitely kill her to try the human delicacy if they got the chance.
And to think that the killer of Tem is still out there, walking around, didn't make him feel any better. It worried him how no one else around him seemed to be thinking about this factor. Only interested in the human herself or why Louis walked off with her.
'She better be careful if she doesn't want to end up like Tem'
