Hillside Woods

[Destiny of Darkness]

A small woods just outside Little Hangleton where the Gaunt House still stands to this day. Completely over taken by vines among other plants. Looking as through it'll collapse at any moment.

With a rather loud CRACK Haven and her savior for the evening appeared in a wooded area in Yorkshire... she had meant to go elsewhere but she was losing focus and it seemed this was her destination. Interesting. Releasing Fletcher's arm she sank to her knees gasping for air.

Apparating was a nasty business when she was so close to transforming. She might make it a few more hours before it happened... then again she might not. "So-so-sorry you have to bear witness to this... I am really very sorry," she calle dout to him in her raspy voice.

Fletcher stumbled a little when they landed, pressing his eyes closed to keep the world from spinning. He really hated apparating. Then again, he hated watching werewolves turn more. With a sigh, he brought his eyes open and his body beside Haven's, gathering her in his arms. "Don't apologize for nature."

[Ninja_Noodles]

Haven smiled weakly and spoke in a choked voice, "You are very kind, Fletcher... thank you for being so understanding about me." SHe didn't protest to his gathering her up in his arms either. The coolness of his skin was really soothing to her at the moment. She was always a bit hot anyway, but it was always bad during the cycle of the full moon.

Without thinking she wrapped her arms around Fletcher and held to him tightly. "Just please, if I tell you to get away from me... listen. I don't want to hurt you, if that is possible... I just... " she stopped speaking and sobbed once. Her skin felt as though it was on fire and she felt the magic pulsing through her veins. She was probably right about not lasting an hour...

"Sort of defeats the purpose of a guard for the night." Fletcher mumbled, gathering the woman up bridal-style in his arms. He searched out the woods for a more comfortable location, and upon finding a wayside pine, carried her over to it and ducked through the branches. Out of sight and out of mind as he believed the saying went. Resting her down on the floor of pine needles, he folded his legs under himself and sat next to her. Werewolves were strange creatures indeed.

Haven couldn't help but bark out a little laugh as Fletcher spoke. "I suppose it does, yes. I just didn't want to hurt you as I transformed," she said weakly as he scooped her up into his arms. Hmmm... he was carrying her to a secluded area. Very good. You would think that he had witnessed something like this before.

As he set her gently down she kind of yelped and grabbed both sides of her head. She could feel the change coming. She wanted to fight it... She breathed deeply through her nose and out her mouth, trying to control the change. She could do that right.

"Talk, make random conversation... It doesn't matter what... maybe it will help keep me here. I hate the transformation. I don't turn into the scary monster from the stories, but I am sure you can imagine what it feels like to change either way," she said rather breathlessly as she let go of her head and looked at him with her dark eyes.

Fletcher arched an eyebrow at her as he rested back against the tree trunk. "And here I thought you would be a cute puppy." He made a small shrug of his shoulders as he let his eyes wander. "And wouldn't it make more sense for you to do the random talking? Considering you are the one who needs to concentrate. If I do the talking, eventually all you will hear is blather." Finally, his gaze returned to her and he gave her a small smile. "So, tell me a bit about yourself."

"Not exactly a puppy... but not a terrible hideous monster either. I am sure you will see soon enough. I can feel the change coming and if direct moonlight hits me... well you know," she said and gave a shudder.

Considering what Fletcher said she gave a heavy sigh and said, "I am originally from Romania. I was attacked as a teenager and turned. I attended Durmstrang but never really fit in... I -I-I..." Haven let her voice die in her throat as she saw the dreaded beams on moonlight seeping through the trees. Almost immediately her transformation began. Jumping back from Fletcher she fell down to all fours and began to shake. The transformation took several minutes and Haven screamed loudly until her voice was choked out by a piercing howl. The air seemed to finally expand her lungs and she sat on her wolfy haunches and whimpered.

Not a big scary werewolf of lore... but a large black wolf sat where Haven had been. It's tongue lolled out the side of it's mouth and it whimpered softly. Very slowly it padded toward Fletcher and sniffed around him before plopping down with her head on his leg.
