and werewolves for a friend who quite enjoys them.

I'm debating whether or not I should make it a piece with human characters interacting or noticing, or a description of a scene involving them.

You should do it with an interesting perspective - or multiple perspectives! You could do a 3rd person limited/1st person (an angel or ghost observing the werewolves). Or do the werewolves' perspective, then switch to a human perspective of the same event. whee Just some suggestions, you don't have to take them.

Hav u ever read a book where each chapter speaks in a different characters point of view? Like in rotation?

For example:
Chpt.1: character 1's view
Chpt.2: character 2's view
Chpt.3: character 3's view
(All those are in 1st person perspective)

Try writing a story like that, those are always interesting ^^

You can also try writing up the same scene from different perspectives. For instance...

Scene: Werewolf is with Human friend, when they are frightened by a Ghost, thus prompting the Werewolf to shift.

Then you can write the scene from a limited third person for the Werewolf, the Human, or the Ghost, an omniscient third person where you can describe the thoughts of everybody, and the first person from the viewpoint of each different character, again.

Afterward you can read through them, figure out which works best for getting the point of the scene across, which is most interesting, which is most fun to write, etc.
