The Shadow's Heir

My blue eyed boy

The female and two males stared at me. I was on all fours, growling at them. The female was plump and looked like she had plenty of meat on her, but the males would surely try to protect her. I was better off taking them out first. I widened my stance, ready to attack or defend, which ever came first.

"Oh my god." The females voice was soft. It made me question her as a threat, but the smell that came from the corridor, she reeked of it. No. She was a threat. I growled again.

"Angeline. We're not going to hurt you. We want to help." The male with the blue eyes stepped around the plump woman, his hands held up. I glared at him. Unsure if he was also a threat.

"Angeline." Who was this Angeline? I cocked my head to the side. Realisation dawned on his face.

"You don't know your human side of you, do you?"

Human side of me? No. I was a wolf. Not a human. He kneeled down and held out his hand.

"Will, don't." Said the taller male. I converted by glare to him and growled. Will looked at him, "Don't, I know what I'm doing."

He turned back to me and extended his hand yet again.

"Do you remember me?"

I looked at him, cocking my head to the side once again. I looked to his hand, then back to his face, continuously alternation between the two. I slowly leaned forward and sniffed his hand. The similar smell caused my body to relax, memories of the night before flashed back through my mind. He was there. I protected him. I licked his hand, he seemed to relax just as I had. I moved forward and rubbed my head against his shoulder. My blue eyed boy. Mine.

.....

After some persuasion, I walked beside the blue eyed boy down the corridor. The smell still tickling my nose, I kept a close eye on the plump female and the slender male, they could still be a threat. The corridor gradually widened and opened up into a large room, lit up by various lamps. The smell didn't seem as strong but it still lingered, like it was attached to anything that walked through it's aromatic cloud. The boy sat on a wooden chair that sat at a large, round wooden table in the centre of the room; I followed his trail and sat beside him, reluctant to leave his side.

"Will.. how did you get her to change back the first time?" asked the woman.

"I didn't do anything. We got back to my dorm room, she just sat there, watching me. I didn't know what to do, I was so confused. I went to my cupboard to take my shoes off, and when I turned around, she was normal again, asleep on the bed."

"Hmm.."

The tall man disappeared from my view, I didn't like it. When the man reappeared, he was holding a bowl, whatever it was that was in it, it smelt of rotten eggs and probably tasted just as bad. He edged closer to me, I snarled at him. He jumped back as I felt a hand rest on the back of my neck, ruffling my fur.

"It's ok. He's not gonna hurt you."

I looked up at my blue eyed boy, his face expressed reassurance. I looked back at the tall man, he slowly moved again, I pushed a growl back down my throat as he placed the bowl in front of me. The smell was revolting. I looked back at my blue eyed boy, he nodded and smiled. I leant down to the bowl, it smelt even worse up close. I dipped my tongue in it and jumped back, my tongue began to sizzle, I yelped as it spread to the rest of my mouth and through my body.

"Henry! What did you give her?!" yelled my blue eyed boy. I never heard what the wicked man replied.
