Silently she watched as the stupid stubborn feline decided to continue to gorge himself with the toxic fish. Truly was a male. Devouring everything in sight in a rapid manner. Her grey tinged tail swayed back and forth in irritation. When he turned to face her, with the shredded morsels of fish hanging from his jaws she wanted to take her paw and smack him. Yet she was creature that believed in self-perseveration and tonight she didn't necessary have a death wish. She was much smarter than him, this was all too clear to see, even if her words stumbled out in their silent communication. How Weres were able to communicate back and forth without others to hear wasn't too hard to believe, but she believed he was far too idiotic to take her advice and warning when it came without charge. Shaking her ebony head as he guzzled down his fish she turned her eyes away from him, focusing more on their surroundings. If she were interested in eating the toxic fish, perhaps she would be wallowing and staking her claim over the numerous piles of fish dumped on the ground my the sailors and fishermen. Her pointed ears twitched and turned at the odd sounds. She could hear the water crash into the dock, her nose overfilled with the scent of the toxic fish, as he spat out showing his fangs a low growl rumbled in her throat. Her neck lowered, as she pointed her body straight at him, her thick bristled fur rose as her own bright ivories were revealed as her black lips pulled back tightly.





"Kitty should listen...Wolf only wants to help...."





As the ground began to groan and move, her quick thinking paws over her lithe frame backwards feeling the safety of firm ground. Bringing her head up she noticed the piles of poisoned fish starting to fall into the waters below. Her focus was gone. Seeing movement at the corner of her blue-grey eyes she watched the leopard leaping towards her. As he nearly collided with her she hoped to the side, giving him enough room to land. Though when he lashed his tail she ducked, not wanting to get whacked as it aimed for her head, while he was watching his beloved toxic meal fall into the waters. Stealing a chance to get a better look at him, she noticed how much his ribs poked out, his bones along his hackles could be seen in a dangerous way. She noticed how he looked at the dark waters as it lapped the edges of the trap. Her head lifted as she caught a taste of fear coming off him. Focused now on him entirely, that underlining layer of despise for feeling such a thing, fear was not something she could tolerate. It was weakness, and seeing fear on others was something she was conditioned to not like...even though she experienced such terror when she was among too many males. She would keep this weakness for use at a later time...cats do always hate water.





Her focus on the leopard was broken when she saw a male approaching with his gun aimed at the boy, knowing full well what he was wanting to do. Taking action she decided to attack, giving him the chance to run away. Right as soon as she was done biting the man's leg, leaving him harmed and without his gun she turned to flee. Her head would lower as her chiseled hefty form barreled through the dock, hearing the bullets whiz by above her and beside her. Study legs allowed the creature to move rapidly leaping over wooden boxes, jumping over piled of ropes. As of now she was not thinking where the leopard was. She had not seen him and the shouts behind her increased which only meant he got away. Moving towards the shadows, using her ebony coat to give her stealth as she ran silently, her ears laced back against her head. Night vision for a wolf was good enough to see the outline of the leopard standing at the corner, confused she ran past him moving to the side as she felt him catch up. Not wanting him any closer she would pick up her speed, attempting to give him more space. He may be a Were, and she may have longing to be beside someone similar in that pack desire, but he was first a male and she could barely trust him. It would seem her idea that she could not trust him was correct. As soon as his paw lashes out, her front leg collided with it, causing the creature to tumble in the air, landing on her back and falling to her side as she was knocked into a pile of wooden boxes. Dazed and confused she shook her head, wincing at the headache and pain she could feel on her side and back. Raising her head she watched as the leopard leapt to a few rooftops before disappearing through one, the yelp of him falling could be heard. Though she could not help him, and at this point she didn't want to, she had to get herself out of this predicament.





As the men rounded the corner their shouts only getting louder. Wincing she got back on her paws, a warning snarl shot out as the men got closer. Some of the boxes that remained piled up gave her the perfect steps to get to the roof. Growling she leapt on top of each box, feeling bullets tear through the wooden surface, barely getting her paws as she leapt her way to the top. As soon as she reached the final one on top, one good bullet grazed her right side and a loud growl could be heard as she threw her head back. Wincing once more, she made the final leap reaching the top of the roof and lying down flat on her stomach as pings of bullets chipped the edge of the brick that shielded her from the men below. As soon as the bullets stopped flying, she would get up and run in the opposite direction from where the leopard hid. With each leap she took, it was getting harder and harder for her to reach the other roof, she was not bred to jump such wide distances and with the help her the graze of the bullet along her side it only inhibited her even more. As soon as she assumed the men were not entirely focused on her, she duck and laid low, listening to the men run by the building she was on and only when the last footstep was heard she would rise to her feet and jump back towards the building she last saw the leopard. Barely had she reached his roof, her claws scraped the surface as she searched diligently for the way he got in. It would seem, when her paw went through the hidden hole, she had tilted her body towards it, tumbling through it, her injured side making contact with the ground below. A soft yelp could be heard as soon as her body slammed into the ground, the sound of bones popping back in place could be heard as her wolf form disappeared. Clenching her teeth, she stayed lying down, as her hands moved around her frame checking for any broken bones as that cold tone hissed out from her.





"No, you were stupid and you should have listened."





Feeling no bones broken and there was no hole of the bullet on her right side that could be felt, she crawled back on her hands and knees and slowly pulled herself upright. It had been a few days since she was last in this mundane form. Narrowing her eyes, getting used to the dimly lit warehouse, she moved around slowly, her right hand clutching her side as she felt a trickle of blood. Her movements were slow, as she carefully approached his naked form. Hearing him heave the remains of the toxic fish, a satisfied grin was etched into her lips. At least she was right about something. As soon as she got closer to the light, her petite form was outlined from the dull light. Her bouncing golden-brown curls held a golden flicker from the light, as blue-grey eyes narrowed on him. She had seen males and females naked before, and although it was natural for Weres to be naked when they changed, she was not one that believed in that custom. Fully clothed in jeans and an ragged old band t-shirt she would step into the light, lifting her shirt up, slightly only showing the lower end of her ribcage, inspecting the graze. Seeing how it trailed along her side, it would scar up, but the damage wasn't life threatening. Now that she was in the light perhaps the stupid brute would get a view of the dozens of scars that were raked across her pale form, up and down her arms. Dropping her shirt, her head would tilt to the side, four disgusting scars shredded half of the left side of her face, blue-grey eyes narrowed with disdain as her jaws were locked with annoyance and anger. Yet as he continued to groan and stutter out numerous curse words she sighed and shook her head with annoyance. Stepping closer to him, palms stretched open in a non-threatening manner. Her voice was much softer than before, as she stood a few ways away from him, giving him a wide breadth. Her words were much more connected now, returning now to her human form all the flashes and bits of pieces of her human memories had flooded back. But just because she was a human, she still had tendencies that her feral mind craved. Survival of the fittest, being wanted and accepted, these were things that still drove her no matter what mind she was in.





"I can make you not sick anymore, if you follow me...even find you some non-poisoned food...lots of good food for you."





The foolish girl knew he wouldn't accept her help, but perhaps now- that she had warned him of the poison he would listen to her a little bit better.
