Broken

26-Werewolf

They all walked silently throughout the forest, suddenly Erik stood up straight. "Did you hear that?" he asked, everyone looked at him weird. Erik grabbed his ears as if he was in pain, "NO!" he shrieked, "Not now!" He said, tears leaking out of his eyes. Xander rushed to his side and rested a comforting hand on his shoulder, Erik shrieked again and violently shrugged Xander's hand off of him. He stood up and everyone stared into his now bright green eyes, "Erik-" Merida started, "Don't touch me!" He screamed, his mask falling to the ground. He felt his canines push through his gums, even farther and his mouth was instantly pooling up with blood, he spat out the blood pooling in the bottom of his mouth and hunched over as he hurled behind a tree. He came back up with canines longer than his top lip, pushing down onto his bottom ones. Xander gave him a horrified look, "Erik-" Erik shrieked in pain as he put his head in his hands. Suddenly the trees around them got hit by a big gust of wind, Erik started pulling at his throat gasping for air as his knees buckled and he collapsed onto the ground. His body glowed slight as two lumps grew from the top of his head. They covered in dark grey hair and started resembling wolf's ears. 

Erik stood slowly, his legs shaking, the ears on top of his head twitching, reacting to every noise that the Frontlines couldn't hear. Xander stared at Erik with wide eyes, "Erik... you are-" he stopped short, Cassian couldn't help but stare. A look of lust filled his eyes as he took in the man in front of him, "What is this!" Marian cried, Xander choked on his words for a bit before clearing his throat. "Erik is a metamorphic. He can morphe into anything he wants, that is if he has enough training. I believe the tracking of the Ciguapa pushed him to transform, so he can have a heighted sense of smell, hearing and sight." Erik huffed in agreement, he heard another high pitched whistle and his ears perked up, Cassian was stuck in a trance staring at the wolf boy. "This way." Erik growled out, Kinney grabbed Cassian's arm and dragged the day dreaming boy along with the group. Erik didn't need to watch the tree roots as he went sprinting through the forest, his wolf senses directing him through the maze of vines and branches. The Frontlines following as quick as they could behind Erik. 

Erik made it to a clearing and there stood the Ciguapa, her aura glowed bright blue as she made dead eye contact with Erik. Xander wasn't far behind Erik as he pushed his way into the clearing as well, everybody on the front lines stopped short and stared at Erik staring at the Ciguapa. Erik snarled but the Ciguapa stood still, and just stared at him. His wolf scent rappelling her killing urge, she stepped closer to him and reached out her hand, Erik stood still, refusing to show subservience. The woman took another step and touched her hand to his forehead, in between his eyes started to burn but he held his ground as Xander slipped a knife into Erik's waiting palm. She was telling him her story, of her childhood. He had to blink back tears, she had been abused, hunted, hurt since she was just little. Erik knew that Ciguapas could manipulate minds but something told him this was true. The burning sensation grew stronger, he waited until he couldn't bear the pain anymore and then he pulled the knife out, impaling the Ciguapa in the leg. "Son of a bitch." she screamed out as she pulled away and the burning sensation stopped. From behind Marian trapped her in iron shackles, she stared into his eyes with sorrow and betrayal. "I'm sorry-" He said before Merida yanked her back with such force, Erik sighed sadly. Erik lightly stepped foreword towards the Ciguapa, he reached out, to try and contact her, to try to grab a hold of her. "Erik! Watch out." Xander said before pulling Erik farther away from the girl.
