The cloying smell of freshly baked cookies, hamburger and fries engulfed Emma as a hug, assailing her nostrils in a pleasant way as Melvina and she, stepped into the eatery. Her stomach grumbled in approval, as she breathed in the wholesome smell in relish. She couldn't wait to eat.

"Let's go." Melvina said, holding her hand, and whisking her to the one of the tables.

"Here, sit" She said, as they got to the first table closer to the window.

Emma sat down excitedly, while rubbing her hands together. The cafeteria seemed to be cold, an odd opposition of the weather outside.

" What will you have?" Melvina asked her, smiling.

Looking up to list off the things she wanted to eat at the moment, Emma noticed the stares again. This time, it was more intense; and it annoyed her greatly. She wasn't a freak for fudge's sake.

"What the hell is wrong with your county, Miss" She asked, provocated already.

Melvina was taken aback, for a moment she couldn't understand the human's problem.

But she did later, as she tried rubbing her forehead tiredly.

There were the mutterings, and of course she heard it.

" What's a human doing with our Luna?"

"Why's is she in our territory?"

" Is she a slave or..'

Melvina cursed inwardly, and mindlinked them.

"Quit the stares and mutterings this moment" She ordered, staring down at them all.

The bowing of heads, and shuffling of feet to get ahead to what they have been doing, before they saw Emma, showed that they had gotten the message completely.

Emma noticed that the stares were less prevelant now. She humphed and thought on what could have happened. Looking up at Melvina, she could perceive a vibe from her, the queenly vibe, and she wondered again on who these people are.

"Scott, what's going on here? Why's our Luna with a human?"

Melvina got annoyed as she heard the question. She remembered mind-linking the whole pack to keep calm about Emma's presence.Twirling around in annoyance, she saw Claire.

She scoffed mentally at the sight. Claire, the beta's daughter who has always been clearly obsessed with her son.

She knew Peter, her husband, alpha of the pack liked Claire and wanted her for Derrick, because of her strength and agility, but she had always been wary of the young lady. Actually, she was wary of the beta's family, for reasons she couldn't understand or point out.

She would have preferred Emma to be with her son than Claire.

Scoffing at her matchmaking spree of her son with a human, Melvina chuckled. But she liked the human, she just feels relaxed around her like she felt around..Sheila…

The thought disturbed her, as she held the chair and sat down opposite Emma unconsciously.

"Could she be her daughter" She thought, biting her lips.

"Uhmm, Melvina..." Emma said, noticing that her beautiful new friend had zoned out again.

" Yes dear." Melvina said, snapping out of her reverie. She would do her findings later.

"Aren't we going to order?" Emma asked, rubbing her stomach. The hunger was already consuming her.

"Oh, right. Wait for me here." Melvina said, standing up quickly and walking off.

"Ok." Emma said, biting her lips in anticipation. Then she remembered that she hadn't told Melvina what to get her. She smacked her forehead, and turned around to call her back.

"Melvina!" She called out.

There was a halt in time. Emma could literally see the freeze in people's activities, and she pondered what she had done this time.

They looked at like she had just committed treason. She cowered her head and cursed.

" Yes, what is it?"

Emma looked up, at Melvina's voice and smiled a bit.

"Sorry, for shouting your name like that.. it seems..." Emma was interrupted by the flow of movements again. The stares were gone. She looked up at Melvina, startled again.

"Are they robots?" She thought.

"No problem dear. Sit tight. I'm coming" Melvina said quickly and walked off, knowing that the human wasn't stupid; she had noticed the abrupt stop and start in the movements of her pack's members.

"Wait..." Emma tried saying, then stopped. She would just have to trust Melvina to bring something she likes.

She swivelled around, and watched Melvina standing by the counter. She could also see the stares but she shrugged it off. She has gotten used to it. But as she looked on still, she could swear that the people were slightly bowing to Melvina; she didn't even stand in the queue.

"Hmm..", Emma signed, as she watched the attendant hurrying to package the food that Melvina ordered.

She must be a queen or someone of a high authority, Emma concluded.

"Hello.."

Emma heard a tiny voice, that was laced with contempt and curiosity. She turned around, to see a beautiful blonde; a very beautiful Blondie, and she swore that she would find their beauty secret soon. Perhaps she would ask Melvina.

But on a second look, Emma concluded that the Blondie was arrogant and cocky.

"Ya, hello.." She stated nonchalantly, picking invisible pellets on the red plastic table.

"What's your name?, and how do you get here? how did you meet?…. Where…" The new girl reeled off, staring at her distastefully.

"Wait wait, put a cello on your lips.

Is that how you run your questions.." Emma said, now irritated as she interrupted the girl.

The girl flushed red in embarrassment, as mutterings could be heard in the cafeteria.

Emma clucked her tongue, and faced the other way, praying inwardly that Melvina would come up already with the food.

"Hey!" The girl shouted and held her head.

Emma screamed, and pushed the girl away with an energy she didn't know she had.

"What the hell is wrong with you, are you a psycho?" She asked the girl whose eyes were now wide as saucers.

"Me? a psycho?" The girl asked, as she chuckled weirdly, looking around the eatery.

"A fucking human is calling me a psycho.. oh what could go wrong?" She continued, advancing towards Emma.

Emma paused in her thoughts a bit. "A human?".

"Are you an animal?" She asked out of curiosity, more than taunting.

The girl laughed weirdly, her eyes glowing with anger.

"Oh, I'm a..."

"Claire, What the hell is going on here?"
