[CLOSED] how to save a life.

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie was walking down the street, her too-big hood drawn tightly around her. She wanted to get into the warmth of the store, just get out of this wind. It was blowing her now forever orange hair all around her face. She tried to brush it out of her eyes, but not before he ran smack into a guy walking the other way on the sidewalk. She hit the ground with a thud, but didn't exactly feel it. The wings squished under the skin of her back is what hurt the worst.

"I'm sorry.." he mumbled, looking up at him. She couldn't help but notice how hypnotic his eyes were. She pulled herself to her feet, drawing her jacket close around her again. "This wind is just terrible.."

Tyler was skimming over the slanted left hand writing of his older brother on the list in his hands, wind blowing blonde hair across his face, when a weight slammed into him. His breath caught in surprise, blue eyes fixing on the culprit, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips.

"Ah, I know it is. Hell out here." He took her arm, pulling her back to her feet. "I shoulda been payin' more attention, sorry. My damned brother's makin' me go shopping." He shrugged, eyes sweeping curiously over her figure, taking in her hair and expression with a keen sense about himself. He supposed lycan genes in his blood could be rather useful, even without the shifting at full moon to deal with.

Those thoughts surfaced around his father however, and he didn't ponder themlong, moving to sidestep around her with another crooked smile her way.

Charlie couldn't help but realize how swiftly he moved. 'I wish I was supposed to watch over someone as graceful as this.. if I ever find them..' She thought, her eyes wandering back to his. She watched him turn and go, then turned back around and saw a bunch of people passing her. She grew dizzy, and turned back around, jogging to catch up with him. She was shivering, her teeth clattering together.

"I can walk with you?" She asked, looking up at him. She reached out an abnormally cold hand, touching his hair. 'Well, he's not a ghost..' She thought, not sure how or if that mattered. "You're going somewhere warm? I think I'm gonna freeze to death.." Her back began to ache again, and she almost dropped to her knees in pain. 'If I don't find them soon, I'm sure to go crazy with this pain..'

Tyler blinked as a hand touched his hair, gazing at her curiously. 'She must not be human..' Or she was and she was just..well..curious?
He hid his smirk well.

"Yeah, I'm goin' inside. feel free to tag along, I don't bite hard." A flirty wink as the door opened and he ducked into the warm store, glancing around. 'Food...' He sighed in agitation, could go for a drink right now. But damned Jacob was always too alert, always knew if any of the alcohol their mom had was moved.

He licked at his lips thoughtfully, comfortable in the bustle of people as he started down an aisle upon finding a cart. A box of ramen found its way into the thing, some crackers and spray cheese. Mainly snacks. Their mom would be out again tonight, they'd probably just hang at the house and screw around, watch tv. Maybe then he could smuggle himself a drink. He would never admit how back his drinking habits were becoming. never admit to the depression deep down, that was bound to become a danger to himself at some point or another. Because he didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to be weak.

"I don't bite at all." She said, completely missing the point. "I think you got something in your eye.." She was starting to feel a little warmer, walking around the store. She had never been in here mostly because she had no real reason to be. She didn't eat or drink or have a period or any of that human stuff you would come to a human store for. She would trade her wings for a period any day, though. And what little clothes she had, she usually got from the mall. So she would at least blend in.

"When did they start putting cheese in a can?" She asked. When she was murdered, you still had to cut your cheese. But that was, gosh, at least a hundred and fifty years ago. If not two hundred. She wrapped her arms around herself, feeling like she was in the way of all these people. But most of all, she felt lost.

"How many brothers and sisters do you have?" She asked, trying to figure out if he was human or not. She looked up at him, her eyes following every line of his face.

'Well, you made this one handsome, God.' She thought, and swore she could hear chuckling. She looked around, but realized they were the only two there.

'I don't bite at all.' The remark made him smile, but he wasn't facing her at the time. Continuing to run down the things on the list, her words made it more and more clear that she most likely was not human. He could say he wasn't...well, not entirely.

"Ah, I have three brother's," He huffed. "Younger twins and an older one. They all look more like my mom though." Nodding thoughtfully, he grabbed a thing of hot cocoa, guessing Shawn had probably put it on the list.

Baby blue eyes flicked around, as if debating on something. Why he had decided to walk here he didn't know. Maybe fresh air. He had just wanted time alone to think...to be weak. But not now. Now that he was in the company of others he wouldn't admit such things. He had no reason to.

She looked up at him and couldn't help but think something was wrong. He was being really quiet. People usually griped at her until she left. She took the box of hot chocolate out of the basket, reading it slowly. Times really have changed.

"That's a lot of boys in one house." She said. He could be anything, and she could spend all day guessing and probably not guess it. She looked down at the box, then put it into the basket. "So you're the only one with those pretty blue eyes and that.. dirty blonde hair?" 'But mostly those blue eyes..' Something about him was alluring, and it wasn't just his eyes. She bit her lip, wondering what would be a sure way to tell what he was. Maybe if he opened his mouth, she could see his teeth. That could rule out at least vampires and were wolves.

She ducked under his arm, looking up at him. 'Curiosity killed the cat..' She thought. She ran her thumb across his bottom lip, wondering why he didn't open his mouth when she did.

"Are you gonna show me your pretty teeth, or is kissing you the only way to get you to open your mouth?" She bit her lip, her eyes meeting his once again. She didn't want to push him, or seem more annoying than she already was, so she reached under his jacket, pulling off a string. "I'll tell you what I am if you tell me what you are.." She offered, not caring if she was in the way of him and his cart.

Tyler gazed at her as she questioned his looks, watching curiously when her thumb ran over his bottom lip. She was teasing him. It was a game he played well and it caused him to smirk, lips tilting enough to reveal slightly jagged teeth, but it was just that they were a little crooked if anything.

He laughed softly, voice hushed. "Will you now angel?" He taunted, oblivious to the irony of the words. "I'm honestly nothing of interest, a mutt, if that." He smirked. "Mixed genes. I ain't got specific shit in my blood." The words were slightly drawled, mischievous and daring as he studied her, another smile playing on his lips, eyes bright with laughter.

[charlie annalise richards]

She smiled, looking up at him. At the word 'mutt' she realized just what he was. "You're part were wolf, huh?" She searched his face, wondering why he seemed to downgrading about what he was.

"I'm an angel. I was sent to look after someone, but I can't find them." She shrugged. She looked over his shoulder, then stood up on her tippy toes, pressing her lips gently to his. She couldn't help but realize how warm he was, and it made her just want to curl up beside him, try to get rid of the everlasting cold she was in. She pulled away slowly, rocking back on her heels. "There's your kiss. But I guess I don't have to see your teeth now." She looked up at him, really not wanting to move, wanting to see what -if anything- he would do.

"I don't think there's a thing wrong with you. Not one thing. And don't try and tell me otherwise." She ran her hand across his jaw, her eyes watching his.

Tyler blinked in utter surprise, swallowing, and offered her an impish grin when she stopped the kiss. 'The Hell?' He thought, clearly completely thrown for a loop.

He seemed to struggle with shaking it off. "I'm...there is stuff wrong with me," He huffed in complaint, still flustered. "I got my own set of problems deep down..there's a reason yah don't see 'em."

He sighed, turning back to his cart thoughtfully, still trying to recollect himself. He wasn't sure why it was so difficult to do. He always kissed people just to get a reaction. He was a flirt, couldn't really remember holding down a completely serious relationship. He would hurt them before they could hurt him, afraid that those problems on top of the ones he had would just be too much to handle.
