A young werewolf dashes through the forest in her wolf form, searching for a meal for her pack. She ventures further and finds an injured elk. She lunges at it, her fangs digging into its flesh. She drags the body back to her pack once it's killed. She drops it in the middle of her camp where the prey from previous hunts lay. "With winter slowly approaching, we must stock up on food." She thought to herself. She padded to the den to rest her muscles.
She awoke the next morning. She stretched and padded out of the den. She hears a rustle in the bushes and hides. A human approaches her as she is dashing away. The human reaches for a gun, afraid of the werewolf.
Bang!
The werewolf is shot in the arm, however, the injury is not fatal. She limps away. The human runs off. The werewolf bleeds and falls unconscious. She is left there to die, alone, afraid, horribly injured.
The human stops when she hears something fall. She runs to the werewolf, picks her up, and takes her home. It is then the werewolf turns human.
She wakes up several hours later, staring at the human. "H-how come you helped me?" She said, surprised. The human sighed. "I... I couldn't bear to watch you die... Because of me... So... I took you in... To help you recover, and all." She said. "By the way, I'm Dakota." "I'm Liza." The werewolf said, grinning. She licked Dakota's cheek.
