Ryan’s almost used to waking up freezing after the moon nights. He should really consider adding a fire starter kit to his clothes cache. He spits out a particularly irritating bit of fur from between his teeth before starting to work at the dried blood.

(I can see inside you the sickness is rising)

That’s odd. There seems to be an awful lot of it. And (sniff) not all of it is rabbit. A thread of dread worms its way through his mind. He keeps working at the mess, using the snow to wash it away, frowning as he tries to remember what happened last night.
(Don't try to deny what you feel.)

He’s scrubbing at his arms when the first bit comes, a white shape slamming into him, a dog from the remembered scent. It, no, she, ripped into his arm. He runs a hand over the healed skin, scowling worriedly. The dog belongs to the white woman.
please, God, no
(It seems that all that was good has died)
What happened last night?
(and is decaying in me.)

He keeps working at the dried blood, moving to what’s congealed on his face, wincing as his hand passes over his temple. He prods the area gently and comes to the conclusion that there’s a still fading bruise there. But from what?
(It seems you're having some trouble)

He shivers, mostly from the cold. He’s clean enough, he decides, to slip inside to shower. Nothing further slips loose till he’s hitting the knob to turn it off the water. Hands over his face, the chase flashes through his mind.
Shit.
(In dealing with these changes)
He presses his hands into his eyes, trying to follow what happened. Did he…?
catch claw bite eat her?
(Living with these changes.)
No. No, he didn’t.
thank God
(Oh, no. The world is a scary place)
The dog attacked. She stopped him from...making a mistake. Then, he ate the dog? But there was only red fur, none of the long silky white. What stopped him?
the grey werewolf
(Now that you've woken up the demon in me.)
Of course. Wells did. It's the only thing that makes sense. The man said he’d be watching. And for the first time, Ryan is grateful. It was only a dog, but if it had been something more, something worse…

It’s…reassuring to know that someone’s there to make sure he doesn’t repeat certain actions.
