Another path for Remus lupin

Girl by the torch

Remus sat down in the hideout, his feet rubbing against the dirt and he was picking his finger nails, trying the scape out the dirt that lay snug as a bug in his fingernail. He looked to his side, staring at the dead bunny that some other werewolf hunted down and was kind enough to give to him. Despite the aching hunger in his stomach, he let the dead bunny lie down on the piece of bark, he didn't feel like eating it.

He got up from the ground and walked away, feeling bored, his legs cramped, he felt like he wanted to stretch his legs.

As crawled out from hideout, standing on the itchy grass, he looked around.

It was night.

Another groan escaped his mouth.

Did he seriously just spend another day inside, doing nothing?

Feeling like he wasted his whole day, he decided to crawl back into the hideout, 

"Where are you going?" a gruff, hoarse voice asked, 

Remus slowly turned around,

The bulky figure of Fenrir Greyback stood behind him, his pungent smell hit Remus like a train, he almost gagged.

"I-" Remus began, before stopping, his heart fluttering a bit with fear, he turned back to try and go into the hideout a second time,

"When someone asks you a question, you answer it," Fenrir asked, grabbing his shoulder with a large, dirt-caked hand, 

"What if I don't want to answer your question?" Remus quietly said,

Fenrir drew out a hot, angry breath, as he turned him around, making Remus look into Fenrir's tired, bloodshot eyes,

"You see this," Fenrir spoke, pointing at his mouth, from the shine from the moon and glow from the fire that was lit a few metres away, Remus could see the blood painted on his yellow teeth,

"Yeah," Remus stammered, Fenrir's hand still tight on his shoulder,

"Whose blood do you think this is?"

Remus gulped, staring down at his bare feet,

"A-A animal-"

"Nope," he butted, his mouth twisting into a sickening smile, "A human,"

A hole if sickening disgust dug itself into Remus, a shiver passed through him,

He looked up at Fenrir, his body shaking,

Fenrir laughed, like the entire thing was a joke,

"Look at you! Shaking like a leaf!" he smiled, "You've grown so soft,"

Remus swallowed, "Because you've eaten a human being! Of course I would be scared!"

Remus suddenly felt on top of the world, he surged with confidence, 

Until Fenrir grabbed his shoulder again, his nails digging into his skin.

"Come with me,"

Remus wanted to shout and Fenrir grabbed his arm and dragged him along, but he remained silent.

Perhaps he was scared.

They both walked towards the forest, sticks crunching and birds chirping, the starts twinkling in the night sky,

"Stop here," Fenrir ordered, Remus halted as Fenrir fished something out from his pocket, through the darkness, Remus could see a palm sized box,

It was matches.

Remus then felt a bit nervous, Did Fenrir want to set him on fire?

"What are you doing?" he asked,
