(man, my character hasnt been used in a while, i guess due to my inactivity. okay, so about the next part i am about to write, please invision this with me: outside of the rural area that the current heroes call home, there is a regular forest, devoid of wildlife due to human expansion. during the nightime, there is hardly any sound outside of the boisterous town. tonight is a full moon and my character, who is named... dammit, i forgot, hold on.... okay, his name is Eastlynn. so Eastlynn has noticed the forest near town and has decided to use it for the night as a safe place to change. if anyone decides to "intervene" while he is transformed, i am writing this as a disclaimer: the character is not in control until morning. when he transforms willingly, he has control. however, under a full moon, he loses all control. it is a common occurance with young werewolves, and it is something they have to be taught to control. unfortunately, he had no one. so, he may need to be restrained.)
" oh thank god that the forest is close by. i'd hate to transform around people." Eastlynn is walking around the forest, finding a good place to stash his clothes.
" and its so peaceful. thats a good sign. no carnivores that i may kill. i'd hate to screw up the ecosystem. ah, this looks like a good place." he drops his pack as he walks into the clearing.
" yup, this is the perfect place for prey to walk into. good grass, its close to water source... deer are probably abundant here. alright, lets do this." he slowly changes out of his clothes and places them in his pack. as he finishes, the hair on his neck stands up, signalling the approaching change.
"alright, lets get this over wit-"
"are you sure its okay to go camping out here Randy? its awfully far from town." a young female's voice can be heard, down wind.
"of course Rita, there isnt anything in these woods to fear." a male's voice, roughly the same age, is heard answering her.
no, Eastlynn thinks to himself. suddenly, he doubles over in pain as the change starts to happen. the world goes fuzzy as he falls to his knees and screams into the air.
"what was that? is that-"
"shh Rita, there's something in the clearing. i will take a look."
Eastlynn clutches his head in pain as his bones begin to shift. his face grows longer and hsi teeth begin to melt and resoldify into the razor sharp canines of his monster self. "no. no. ruuuuwooooo!" his words become the howls of the wolf as he arches his back, his back realigning to suite his quadrupedal stance. the color of the forest shifts to black and white as his transformation completes, accenting on beams of moonlight. he can hear the rapid breathing of the young couple as they walk into the clearing and see him; he can smell the fear induced perspiration glistening on their skin.
"Randy, is that a w-w-wolf!?"
"run Rita, lets get out of here!"
the couple dash back the way they came, scrambling like their lives depend on it.
Prey. that is all Eastlynn thought as his instinct takes over. He arches his back and howls loudly, the sound echoing through the woods and into the town. and, with a savage snarl, launches forward into the forest after the couple, with only one thing on his mind: the hunt.
