A faint whining kept reverberating from Michelle's maw and soon her tears dried up, leaving her hurt and bleeding on the forest floor as the moon looked down at her, almost laughing at her weakness. She had no idea how much time had gone by when she heard footsteps. Her ears twitched and heard him coming closer when fear seemed into her. She was utterly vulnerable and started to struggle against her weakness but she only ended up panting and whining when he kneeled down next to her.
She heard the human pull out a bag and her whining intensified. Her baby would never get to see the light of day. She was going to die right here right now. In some part of her mind it seemed a fitting end. She should be dead in anyways. She cringed, expecting metal when suddenly a gentle hand wrapped her wounds in a bandage. She peeked at the human, realizing it was a man when he softly stroked her fur. She whined, a different kind of whine that seemed to thank him. Her breathing was shallow though and she struggled to sit upright, looking deep into his eyes, sadness blocking any thoughts that could have been in her own eyes...

He saw the she-wolf turn towards him and whine, practically thanking him. Xavier saw her try to sit up and her breathing became shallow, instantly he put his hands on her side softly, "Don't move, it'll only hurt worse if you do." he said, looking at her green eyes with his one grayish-blue eye. He saw the sadness in those green pearls and brought his hand up to her shoulder and ran his fingers through her coat. It was so soft, and it was remarkable that he hadn't tried to kill her yet. Especially, since he was trained by Red, but this wolf was weak and he wouldn't harm her.
"Here, I need to take you some place safe and look at that injury more closely." he said, moving closer towards her slowly. "Do you trust me to not hurt you?" |

The man softly touched her side and said she should rather not move since it would only hurt more. She lowered her ears in pain and lowered herself back to the ground, finding comfort in his soft touch. She tried to focus more on his touch than the pain and closed her eyes against the pain.
He then said he had to take her some place safe to look at her injury and she lifted her head very slowly to look at him, fear in her eyes but a small sense of trust in her emerald depths as well. He came closer slowly and then asked if she trusted him not to hurt her and she nodded her head weakly, wondering what he would do to her. She sighed, accepting her fate. if he was going to kill her it would be fine as well...

Xavier saw her lower herself back to the ground. She closed her eyes and lowered her ears. He remembered the white wolf that had vanished before he found this black female. That wolf must've been the one to attack her, injuring her with such a wound that made Xavier think, this wolf wasn't going to make it. Xavier sighed and made his way behind the wolf, slowly putting his arms underneath her to pick her up. He wanted to make sure that the wolf trusted him, making sure he was trying to not hurt her.
Finally, he got his arms under her and picked her up slowly. Shifting his weight before he made his way back to his house. Once he got to his house, Xavier turned the door with his hand, but had to kick it open the rest of the way, and then kick it closed. He made his way towards his couch and gently put the wolf on the sofa. Then he put his bag down and looked around for more bandages and disinfected alcohol to make sure the injury. Didn't get infected. |

Michelle drifted in and out of blackness when suddenly the man went behind her. She attempted to growl but only a whine came from her lips. She had no more strength to fight anything and gave up. His hands were gentle when they slipped in under her but it still hurt on her bruised body and she yelped. He was strong though and soon Michelle got used to his hands as they were exceptionally gentle. She fell in and out of consciousness and vaguely heard a door slam closed and then felt herself being laid on something soft.
Her eyes fluttered open and she remained quiet this time and silently watched as he reached for something in his bag. She sighed as the last of her energy left her and she faded back to her human form, losing consciousness as she softly moaned. Her pregnant tummy betrayed her six months and her bare skin was perfect except for the brutal wounds...

There. He had found what he was looking for and turned around when he heard a moan. Instantly, his eye went wide and he dropped what he had in his hand, closing his eyes. Moving around, using his hands as a guide, Xavier found a blanket and put it over her before opening his eyes again. Xavier knew that she was a werewolf, but hadn't realized how beautiful she actually was. Even in human form, he hadn't thought about it til now.
Xavier moved back slightly, picking up what he had dropped and slowly, cut into the blanket so that he could work on cleaning her injuries. First, he worked on her stomach, noticing that it was bigger than usual and that made him careful. Much more careful. Slowly, he pressed the disinfected rag onto her wounds, cleaning them before he wrapped them back up and went to the other couch. Sighing, he laid down and closed his eye. First he found a black werewolf, then she shifts back into human in his house. What next? |

Michelle tossed and turned often, suffering from nightmares and pain every now and again but her werewolf blood healed her quite quickly, but she was still riddled with pain. She suddenly woke with a start the moment the sunlight kissed her cheek and she sat up, firstly noticing she was in someone else's home and that she was mostly naked under a blanket. She lifted the blanket up to cover her chest and noticed someone on the couch opposite her. She cringed and felt pain shoot through her,
"Did you... did you take care of me?"

Sunlight brushed its way through the windows of Xavier's house. He blinked open his eye as he heard a voice, a females voice. Looking over, he saw that the woman was up and looking over at him, still in pain. Xavier sat up and looked over at her, "Yes, I found you after a white wolf vanished. Bleeding and to weak to even fight me. I brought you here to take care of your injuries." he said, pointing to the kit he still had out.
Slowly, Xavier stood up, shrugging off the jacket he had slept in and handing it to the woman on his couch. "Here, you can wear this until I find you some clothes you can wear." he said, giving him a small. A very small smile at that. |

Michelle noticed she'd woken the guy up and suddenly looked down, blushing. She didn't know why though since she had all the right to, being in his home like this and all. Well she assumed it was his home anyways. Michelle didn't make eye contact and silently bore the pain as he told her about wolf disappearing and that he'd brought her here to help her and she looked out the window,
"Where's here?"
She cringed and decided to sit still rather, noticing the bandages around her middle that ended just below her breasts. She shivered at the thought and tried to keep her repressing memories at bay. She feared she would go psychotic if she gave her mind free rain. He stood up and came over to her, shrugging his leather jacket off and handing it to her. She took it with a nod of thanks and slipped into it, warm leather against her skin that smelled just like him. He told her she could wear it until he could find her some other clothes and smiled a very small smile at her. She returned the favor but her expression turned to pain and she slowly sank back to a lying down position,
"Who are you?"

Xavier sat back down when she took his jacket and asked where here was. "My house." he stated. He saw that she didn't look at him and looked out the window. He could tell that she was hiding the pain, but Xavier wasn't going to ask her about it. Afraid that he had frighten her by just bringing her here as protection. Protection for another wolf that apparently, had wanted this female to be dead and out of her territory. But the only pack that Xavier knew of was the Validus pack as it was lead by Lucas and Larysa.
Sighing, Xavier let his gaze fall to the ground, even when she asked who he was. "My name is Xavier Cortez." He finally said. "What is your name?" he asked. |

Michelle's eyes flitted about the inside of the house, taking in the details. He was obviously not that bad off and the overall setup and the furniture attested to this. She also took certain note of all exits she could see from her place on the couch which was only the main entrance to her right. She wanted to speak sarcastically to him but just didn't have the power and instead whispered.
"I have no idea where your house is though... I've been... um... gone for too long."
Obviously she was referring to herself having been a wolf for so long. She was really lost and didn't really know where she was right now and the unsureness in her eyes made this obvious. She manned up though and tried to gain a more stern expression as she looked back to him. She asked him who he was and his own eyes fell to the floor with a sigh as he spoke his name. Michelle repeated it in her mind and smiled absentmindedly. He asked for her name in return and she said Michelle but only a croak resounded. Blushing she cleared her throat and said again,
"Michelle Nightingale. I guess I have to thank you for saving me. I was ready to die there last night..."
Her voice faded as she noticed his weapons and certain choice of dress. He looked as if he could be a hunter and she just had to ask,
"Why did you help me?""

Xavier put his hands up in front of him. "I live in Bucharest. Just a few blocks down from the forest I found you in." he said. He leaned back, wanting to show her that he wouldn't hurt her. He saw the obvious fact of unsureness in her eyes. Maybe he shouldn't have brought her hear but he couldn't just leave her in the forest, bleeding to death. It just didn't feel right to Xavier to leave a weakened wolf, to die for no reason. Now he knew that Red would leave her there, but he wasn't Red.
Xavier gave her a small smile, "It is nice to meet you Michelle. And you don't have to thank me, I wouldn't have left you there to die." he said, standing up slowly and going over to a closet. He looked through it, and found a shirt and some shorts. Maybe this would fit her and he wouldn't be so scared to look at her in the eyes. Xavier came back with the shirt and shorts and handed them to her. "Here but these on. And I saved you because, you were helpless and I don't kill wolves when they haven't done anything wrong towards myself." |

Michelle felt oddly attached to Xavier even though she barely knew him, despite the fact she was still very much uncertain about him. When he lifted his hands up in front of him Michelle twitched her lips slightly, furrowing her brows and tilting her head a bit, a strong wolf-like gesture but taking into account that she had been a wolf for so long it was almost expected of her. He explained that he lived in Bucharest, a few blocks from where he'd found her. Bucharest... the thought kept repeating over and over in her mind. It was really far from her home. She sighed and cringed at the movement and sudden stinging pain in her ribs.
Xavier finally seemed to smile and Michelle returned the gesture, a small smile that only extended to the left side of her cheeks. Her eyes seemed relaxed now as well as her body language. He spoke, telling her he was pleased to meet her and Michelle nodded. He stood up and disappeared into one of the rooms and Michelle twirled her fingers in a nervous manner. She hadn't been social in such a long time that she didn't know how to act or what to say. She hoped h wasn't offended by this. When he came back he had a pair of shorts and a shirt in his hands. He told her she should put them on and mentioned that he didn't kill wolves who had done nothing to him and Michelle got a new sense of respect for him and a very vague look of wonder filtered into her emerald eyes. She took the clothes from him and her hand brushed passed his, eliciting another blush from her as she quickly wrapped the blanket around herself and slowly got up. Pain screamed in all of her bones but she merely clenched her teeth and sucked it up, disappearing into one of the bathrooms. The shower sweetly called to her and she softly called through the door,
"May I quickly use the shower?"

Every time he saw her cringe in pain from her wound, he wanted to help her or run to her and make sure she was doing fine. But he stopped himself, not wanting to disrespect her and get into Michelle's personal space. Xavier would hate it if someone got in his personal space without his permission, but then again, he hardly knew anyone to let them get into his space. He watched her go into one of his bathrooms with the clothes that he gave her. "Yea go ahead."
Once he heard the shower start, Xavier looked down at his hand. When her fingertips brushed over his hand, he felt like something had shocked him, but he didn't know what it was at all. What was it about Michelle that made him think differently on killing werewolves? I feel like...I don't know how to explain it. But it didn't happen until after I saw Michelle..human Michelle. |

Michelle heard Xavier through the doer and let the blanket drop to the floor, unzipping his leather jacket and hanging it over the railing. She caught a glimpse of her reflection in the wall sized mirror and was shocked, taking in a sharp breath and giving a few steps back. Her obviously pregnant belly was scratched up badly but luckily not too deep. There were multiple bite wounds in her neck and blue bruises covered most of her arms and legs. Her blonde hair fell passed her shoulders, having grown much since she was turned. Her belly shocked her most of all. It was as if reality was finally all up in her face.
Her eyes glazed over for a minute though as her mind inevitably floated back to Lancelot. He’s turned her into the wolf she now was but on the other hand many other things had been her fault. The car crash was mainly her fault, she’d caused him pain on multiple occasions, with her self harming tendencies, the time he had to hurt himself to help her and so the list goes on. She broke down in front of the mirror but turned away from her reflection. Tears streamed down her face but in silence and she knew what she had to do. She was dead to Lancelot and she had to keep it like that. She had to stay out of his life. He was better off that way.
A few minutes passed and she slowly got up, feeling a kick in her belly and smiling the tears away. She opened the taps, making the temperature just right. Stepping into the shower all her worried were forgotten in that moment and she closed her eyes in bliss as the warm water rushed over her…
A few heavenly minutes later Michelle hesitantly stepped out of the shower and got dressed in the shirt and shorts Xavier had lent her. She was thankful that the shirt was black. Her hair was towel dried and hung passed her shoulders as she picked up the blanket and leather jacket and slowly opened the door, peeking out and then noticing Xavier's room. She hoped it would be alright and so she quickly slipped in and put his jacket on the bed. The moment she turned around though she almost ran into him, noticing on the go that he was much taller than she. She gave a step back and said,
"Sorry I..."
But her words deserted her and she was left staring up at him...
