Hearing of a newborn werewolf, made her blood pump. Knowing that another beast had been made, sent shivers up Red's spine. Who would even think of making another one of those damn creatures? Already in her hunter gear, Red through a saddle blanket and a saddle onto her mare, already having the bridle in her mares mouth, so all he had to do was get on and head towards Bucharest. Throwing the bow and quiver onto her back, Red whistled and let the mare have her head.
Coming to the Bucharest, Red jumped off and looked around. Now her instincts were kicking in, and walking around, bow in hand and ready for another. What she didn't know, was that Xavier would be around and save the newborn. |

Michelle finally had a bit of freedom after Xavier had allowed her to go outside. He had taken it upon himself to help her back to help and Michelle was slowly healing. The wounds on her belly had now turned into scars and the bite mark in her neck was less agitated and red. Most of them were closed and Michelle had Xavier to thank. He wasn't as tough as he looked and she smiled at the thought. Stretching she slipped out of all her clothes; his clothes and slipped into her black fur, shifting effortlessly and with less pain every day. Shaking out her fur she had a strong urge to howl and suddenly she let one rip, shattering the silence of the early morning...

Hearing a howl, Red instantly moved in the direction of it. Walking a few feet, Red spotted the black wolf that had made the howl, and pulled out an arrow and let one fly towards the wolf. Red watched as the arrow missed the wolf but barely, and she growled at herself. Instantly, she went for another arrow but was stopped by a noise. Turning behind her, Red and a black figure collided and rolled out into the open. They rolled and rolled, until Red kicked at the figure, making it go towards her as she rolled onto her feet. And froze when she saw who it was.
------------------------------------
Xavier had always been watching Michelle. Making sure she didn't get hurt again, but when he saw red hair, he knew Red was around. Spotting his mentor, Xavier went towards her, making them collide and roll out into the open. He felt a kick and landed on his feet. Xavier pulled out his dagger and narrowed his eyes at his mentor. "Xavier, why are you protecting this creature?" He heard his mentor ask, "She hasn't done anything to any of us, Red." |

Michelle's wolf head came down slowly as her howl died down and she smiled to herself. She loved this new power she had. Even in her weaker state she felt like she could do anything. She smelled things she'd never smelled before. She could see clearly in the night and even better in the day. She felt a little cocky and was just about to lunge into a sprint when an arrow grazed her by mere mili-meters. She yelped and jumped back, catching sight of Scarlet, a girl she'd met on her first day coming here and August's words rang true in her ears. Scarlet was a werewolf hunter! Alarms set off in her mind and adrenaline set her off in the opposite direction until she looked over her shoulder, seeing Scarlet kick him a few feet away from her. She skid to a stop as anger took over her fear and she rose to her full powerful height, anger causing her true wolf brain to take over. With a fluid movement she spun around and accelerated into a full run, heading straight for Scarlet. She was not just going to hurt Xavier and get away with it.
She jumped between them, snarling and snapping, her little pregnant belly all too obvious in her wolf form. Her emerald eyes burned into Scarlet and she growled loudly...

Red didn't even have time to be shocked, for the minute she tried to explain the black wolf was coming towards her. Instantly, Red got ready for an attack from both the werewolf and her student. Funny, how her own student was attacking her because he was protecting a werewolf. Where was the world coming to nowadays? Moving back, Red watched as the wolf snapped at her and growled, Red's eyes going to her belly.
------------------------------------
He moved back when he saw that Michelle had jumped in front of him. He wasn't expecting her to come back and help him and honestly, he really didn't want her to. But then again he was thankful for it. Xavier moved and stepped up next to Michelle, a hand going into her fur softly. "Expect it Red, she hasn't done anything to you until you attacked her." Xavier saw his mentor relax and the tension escaped her eyes and he gave her a nod. Maybe she could be taught a lesson. |

Michelle kept a stern eye on the red headed hunter, never once attacking her or snapping at her. She only stood there growling defensively. Her massive paws itched to attack but she didn't allow her wolf brain that much free reign. Xavier taught her that... indeed he didn't take Michelle's life because she didn't deserve it. Michelle lifted her head, a sign of good will and stopped growling, trying to let Scarlet look into her eyes to see her true self inside.
Michelle looked over to Xavier as he came to stand beside her, his shoulders level with hers as he slipped his hand into her fur. She smiled at him with her eyes, unable to smile with her mouth in her wolf form. Xavier then spoke to Scarlet, calling her Red and telling her that she had done nothing until she had attacked her. Michelle looked back at Red/Scarlet, tilting her head slightly. The hostile hunter seemed to relax and Michelle looked back to Xavier, mentally connecting with only him she spoke to him without words,
"You know her? I met her the day I came to Eden Town. She'd told me her name was Scarlet..."

Xavier looked over to Michelle, and gave her a nod. Looking back to his mentor, he spoke, "Known to many as Scarlet, but known to werewolves as Red. Red as the blood pumping in the veins, keeping them alive. She..." he said, pointing towards Red. "Trained me. Red is my mentor and now, I have become her enemy." he added. He watched as Red lowered her bow, but her purple eyes. Those purple eyes never left his. "Tell me Xavier, do you love this creature? Love her enough to protect her from your own mentor." That question made him hesitate.
Xavier never thought of Michelle like that, never thought of Michelle as more than a friend. Of course, he knew that there were feelings for Michelle, deep down somewhere. But never had he even thought about it. Xavier looked over to Red and saw the look in her eyes and the smile that was on her face. She knew the truth. She always did. |

Xavier nodded towards Michelle and then explained everything to her. Michelle's intense gaze followed his finger and she was a little amazed that Red trained him. She looked back to Xavier once more than glared at Red. She wasn't gong to attack or anything, but Xavier mentioning that she was the enemy instantly put Michelle on guard. She remained beside Xavier, muscles tensing in anticipation.
Red then suddenly asked Xavier if he loved her and Michelle tilted her head in confusion. What did that have to do with Red deciding to kill her or not? Michelle could literally feel the hesitation in Xavier and she wondered why he didn't do anything. Michelle nudged Xavier, as if asking him what should be done and softly whined her nervousness...

Feeling a nudge, Xavier looked over to Michelle before looking back at Red. He knew what Red was talking about. It was one thing that he had let escape his mind. But now, everything came back to him. How his world had shattered when he had seen his love over in blood. He had just reached the clearing when he saw her fall down to the ground, her eyes had just me his before they went completely dull and the blood spilled out around her naked body.
It had been then that he had lost all of his trust, respect and honor for his mentor. For Red and Scarlet both. Xavier had never been quiet the same and, even though he stayed around Red, it had only been for the stallion, Dash. He loved the horse just enough to bare the fact that he couldn't trust Red any more. Sighing, Xavier focused on Red. "You will not hurt her. This creature that you hate, has a name. Her name is Michelle and I..." he paused, "Will not let you kill her. If you try, you will go through me to get to her, Red. I'm not letting this happen again. I'm not letting you kill someone else that I love!" Xavier saw that smile on Red's face and knew. He had told the truth. |

Michelle worried about Xavier. This Red girl was having a massive effect on him. She could feel the tension in the air. She could almost feel Red gloating and she was angry enough at this fact that she wanted to wipe that smirk off of Red's face, but she wouldn't. Xavier's voice calmed her a bit, but what he said in turn scared her. She didn't want anyone to get hurt for her sake.
Xavier told Red that she wasn't just a creature and Michelle stood a little closer to him, her body language protective over him. Her shoulder was level with his and his touch comforted her. She wasn't going to let Red lay a single finger on him. Xavier told Red that she would have to go through him first and a growl came from Michelle's mouth, aimed at Red. Xavier then shocked Michelle a bit when he told Red he won't allow her to kill someone he loves again. She didn't let the turmoil within her show. Her heart was fluttering like a hummingbird but she kept her eyes glued on Red, stern and serious. Inside she was almost losing it. Did he really love her? She spoke towards Red this time,
"Leave... Or suffer the consequences."

Xavier felt Michelle move closer to her and instantly, he had moved closer to Michelle as well. He felt comfort towards Michelle, and right now, he was needing that comfort. He saw the smirk that Red had on her face and instantly, Xavier knew he was in her trap. "Leave Red. I don't want to see you anywhere near my house, Michelle, or even me. Understood?" he said, watching his old mentor.
------------
Red gave a small growl at both Xavier, and this Michelle. Xavier did love her and Red, couldn't do anything. He was stronger than her, and with a werewolf at his side. She was out numbered. "Fine. Love your werewolf, Xavier. But be warned, I will hunt and you won't stop me." she said, before taking off back to Storm. |

Michelle felt Xavier come closer to her just as she moved closer to him and she knew Red wouldn't stand a chance against the both of them. He addressed Red again, this time with much more authority in his voice, almost as if he was a little more confident now. He knew Red better than Michelle did and Michelle had to remind herself to breathe. Red almost seemed a bit bitter and she gave in, telling him that she would hunt either way and that he couldn't stop her. A low growl left Michelle's mouth and Red turned and left. Finally the black she-wolf could breathe and she sighed a sigh of relief, looking a little up at Xavier,
"I'm so sorry. I was naive to run off into he woods like that, howling my presence out for all to hear..."
She turned then looked down, ashamed of her actions. In some part of her mind she vowed to never change again. She was a human not a wolf and it was time she started to accept that...

Xavier saw Red leave and heard the growl coming from Michelle. He looked over at Michelle, and knelt down, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Don't be sorry Michelle. I wouldn't expect anything else from you. Even if you hadn't howled your presence, Red would've found you sooner or later. That's what she is known for." he stated. It was true. When he first met Red/Scarlet, he had found out quickly that she was a very good tracker.
On his first hunting session with Red, he had watched her hunt with a intense gaze. He had mesmerized each move that she had done. Each word she had told him, and each lesson. Were all in his head, and trapped there. If anything, Xavier was probably twice as strong mentally and physically, than Red was at the moment. |

Xavier knelt down but Michelle didn't make eye contact with him just yet. When his hand touched her shoulder though she looked up at him with bright green eyes, guilt written all over her wolf face. Xavier told her not to be sorry and that he wouldn't have expected anything else from her. he told her that Red was too well trained and that she would have found Michelle either way. Michelle sat down and softly nudged his chest, replying once again without using her physical mouth,
"I'm never going to phase into a wolf again. I won't put you in danger again. I will not allow another person to be hurt because of me..."

Xavier sighed and gave her a hug when she nudged his chest. He ran his fingers through her fur and smiled softly, "No need to worry about something like that, Michelle. Red isn't going to hurt you, or me. Right now, we are twice as strong as her and she'll only hunt after wolves that are alone and away from their packs." he stated. He knew from experience that Red wouldn't do that again, especially since she was sent to the hospital by two werewolves that were set out to kill her for revenge, but Lucas had stopped the other from doing the deed. Surprisingly, Xavier secretly wished for his old mentor to be killed, but then again, he wasn't.
"Why don't you go phase back, in case other hunter comes out and sees you." he said, getting up and moving towards a tree. He leaned against it, "I'll be here when you get back." Xavier smiled softly. Sighing, he ran his fingers through his hair. Now he wasn't going to see Dash unless he sneaked onto Red's property. Not like he hasn't done it already.what was he going to do know? He didn't even know if Michelle felt the same way he did about her and honestly, he was afraid to know.
