Bren's POV

As I approach the clearing that is now radiating with the scent of apple and cinnamon, I think of the bigger problem that I am presented with, I need to shift back to talk to her, If I shift back I will have to face her... naked.

Cassy's POV

I hear a rustling in the bushes beside me and then a yelp of pain. I turn to see Bren crouching down behind a bush, "You came." I state unsure of what else to say, "Well, I didn't have much of a choice in the matter" He grumbles, I consider asking him what he means by that but decide not to bother, there was clearly something more important that he needed to talk to me about. "Cassy- '" He begins but I cut him off, "Why are you hiding behind that bush?" I wonder. He blushes and says "I uh, I kind of don't have any clothes on..." Oh, Ok time to change the subject. "So" I start "Why were you were forced to come" His eyes sadden and I can see regret all over his face, Suddenly he goes all stiff and starts shaking violently. He has his teeth clenched together and his eyes rolled back, He looks like he is trying to fight something, But what. "I'm sorry" He whispers, barely audible, "I'm so so sorry" he says again before falling to the ground and starts to twitch all over. I watch horrified as his nose lengthens into a snout, His ears begin to become pointed and triangular, His teeth sharpen into those of a wolf, His arms and legs become those that belong on the body of the wolves I have grown to love and fear and a tail sprouts from his backside. I stare at the wolf in front of me for the split second before he pounces. His teeth sink into my right arm, It is deep but strangely I did not feel a thing. He then ejects his teeth from my right arm and does what he did to my right arm to my left arm, Why doesn't it hurt I wonder to myself. He then licks my wounds and they stop bleeding instantly. He lightly bites the back of my shirt and begins to slowly and carefully pull me through the forrest, That is the last thing I remember before falling into darkness.

I wake up on a soft mattress with a cool breeze blowing on my face. I take a few minutes to recall what had happened and what I remember shocks me, He attacked me, Bren really attacked me.And now he has brought me here so he can finish the job, I think horrified. I sit up on the mattress and look around, I am in a small room, Not much in it, Table, Chair, Sink, Toilet, One window and this bed and on the table the is is a plate with a WUS (Weird, Unidentified, Substance) and a cup of what appears to be water but I can no longer trust Bren, He tried to kill me! I shout in my head. Just as that thought leaves my head I am overwhelmed by pain, It feels like I am being boiled alive and being run over by a car all at once, I begin to scream out in pain, It hurts so much. I begin to cry and beg for it all to end, What did Bren do to me?! He poisoned me! I hear a door unlocking, Of course it was locked, I think distracted. The doorknob begins to turn as I continue to scream and cry out, I expect to see Bren walk through the door but the person who enters is strange and unfamiliar, "HEEELLLPPP MEEEE, I HHAAVVVEE BEEN-" I am cut of but yet another wave pain. Then it stops, All of it, The pain, The Fear and the Frustration, Everything. I look around wondering why or more likely what had caused it to go away, But what I see, What I see, I don't even know which is worse, The pain or the sight in front of me.
