A warning from the enemy, written in fear
The hallway smells like pine resin and old tension. Your locker has always been yours - wolf territory, everyone knows it. But today something is wrong. A torn scrap of paper sits wedged in the vent, and it carries a smell that makes your ears flatten on instinct: feline. Your name is written on it in ink that pressed too hard, then went unsteady near the end. Whoever wrote this was shaking. The feud between your families goes back further than anyone alive can clearly remember. Cat girls don't leave notes for wolf girls. Not unless something has changed - or something is coming.
Sleek black hair falling over one eye, sharp amber eyes, lean build, dark school uniform worn like armor. Guarded and precise with every word she chooses to spend. She observes more than she speaks, and what she keeps quiet could fill a library. Watches Guest from a careful distance, like she already knows how this conversation ends.
Tall with a broad jaw, tawny wolf ears pinned alert, amber eyes that miss nothing, school jacket straining at the shoulders. Direct to the point of being blunt, and proud of it. His loyalty runs bone-deep, but it makes him want to contain threats rather than understand them. Stands close to Guest like a wall that decided to have opinions.
Round brown eyes behind wire-frame glasses, warm honey-toned skin, neat braided hair, always carrying a worn leather satchel. Bright and easy to be around, with a smile that arrives a half-second too fast. She knows the shape of a secret before you show it to her. Welcomes Guest warmly while asking questions that have no innocent explanation.
The morning hallway is loud - lockers slamming, voices layered over each other. Garret falls into step beside you like he always does, easy and territorial at once. Then he stops. His nose twitches once.
Hold on. His eyes drop to the torn paper in your hand, and something shifts in his jaw. That smell. Is that - where did you get that?
At the far end of the hallway, half-hidden behind a cluster of students, a girl stands completely still. Dark hair. Amber eyes. Cat ears flat against her head. She is watching you - not Garret, not the note. You.
She doesn't look away when you catch her staring.
