Chapter 17 - Preparation

-W-

I slept. I dreamt! It was far beyond what I could have thought.. letting my physical body rest and recover. Letting my mind rejuvenate itself, with a litany of scenes that felt so real and incredible. When I would rest inside of my void I did not dream, I did not truly sleep. My mind went dull and time seemed to pass quickly but this was so different and unique. Not only that, but I had a body. I could hold my human close and protect him, and I did.

My eyes grew heavy not long after I joined him in his bedding. It was a different color than the last time I had seen it, I do not know why. He changed colors of the things he wore to cover himself too, also a mystery to me. He wore nothing now, I liked it like this.. I pulled him close and wrapped him up and refused to let go as I drifted off to sleep before realizing that I had.

Only twice did I wake during the night. Once because my human was flustered and tapping at my head a little roughly, telling me to stop grinding on him.. whatever that meant. The second time he was asleep but there were noises outside his window, I could hear some sort of animal out there. I waited, listening and watching until it left.. ready to defend my human if necessary.. but it did not come to that. These human homes seemed sufficient at keeping out dangers, I suppose that is why they had them as opposed to sleeping outside.

After that I slumbered peacefully through the night. When the sun rose and hurt my eyes, even closed, I grumbled and groaned and growled out in annoyance. I began pulling my human in close and squeezing him in front of my face to stop the sun. He made a bunch of noises, so I guess I had squeezed a bit too hard, but he wasn't hurt. He told me it was too early. To go back to sleep.. This sounded pleasant to me. The longer I could go in this moment the better.

He wasn't the one that ended our slumber after that, unfortunately it was me. I tried to ignore it, but I was becoming more and more aware of my stomach twisting in discomfort, letting out a rather aggressive growl that almost matched the noises I could make in my throat.

Connor could certainly feel it against him, he peeled over his shoulder at me, "Hungry again?" I huffed loudly and nodded, showing my teeth a bit as I locked my chops.

He sighed and rubbed at his eyes, seemingly still trying to wake up, "Will the rest of the meat I got do?" It would.. it would calm my belly, I should tell him it would.. but I craved something so much more.

I shook my head.

Connor's face sank, and I could see my deception hurt him, even if he entirely believed it. I wanted blood, I wanted to hunt, to kill, to tear into a living creature. He stared out the window, suddenly lost in thought, seemingly trying to come up with a plan. I gave him all the time he needed, he deserved that much after I had misled him.

"Okay.. if you need more. If you need to hunt.. to kill. We need to make sure it is never a human. Never. And never someone's pet. I can't exactly go raising cattle or chicken or whatever in an apartment and we can't go raiding farms.. So either we get real good at catching squirrels or rats or pigeons or whatever. Or we head out to the woods."

He rubbed his temples, like I was causing him pain, trying to figure this all out. Maybe I was. "I don't own a gun.. I can't hunt for you... How do we do this? I think there are deer and stuff out in the woods but.. I mean.."

He gestured down to our legs where we were connected, making a face, "It's not like you can hunt unless you let go of me and leave me behind" That made a whimper slip out of my muzzle before I could hold it back, I quickly shook my head.

"Okay, well if we can't let go of me.. then what? How do we hunt for you?"

That was a hard question.. I began to think, to study him. My instincts had taken over when I had killed the small white mammal.. hunting came natural to me. If I could get back out into the woods I was very confident I could catch and kill something, but I did not know how it would work if I was linked to my human.. Much like I had hindered every task he attempted yesterday by leaving him with only one hand, he would greatly hinder my ability to run, to chase.

A fang filled grin parted my muzzle as I stared at him.

"I hope that's an 'I have an idea' look and not a 'Guess we eat the human' look.." He spoke out dryly, he was trying that humor thing again.

I understood this.

He made many strange little jokes and comments all day yesterday. I gripped him tight, pressing myself against him from behind. His eyes went wide and he seemed very alarmed by my sudden move, his face flushed as he squirmed around and I pressed into him.

Or through him, I should say. I melded with him again.. then climbed and peeled myself out the other side, so it was he who was pressed to my back. I hooked his legs around my waist and stood up on his bed, hearing it creak and groan out complaints at our weight below me. He was a little panicked at what I had just done. His slender arms wrapped around my neck and chest, fingers clinging tight to my fur as I lifted him with ease. My jaws parted in a cackling growl, oh yes.. yes this would work. If he could hang on. I felt so mobile. My legs and arms were free.. he barely registered to me on my back and neck, clinging tight to me so he wouldn't fall off. I kept our link, my back to his stomach.. Never break the bind. Never break the link.

"Holy shit! WARN ME FIRST!.. That was so... Aggh!.. Oh that felt so goddamn weird.. you passed through me like a ghost... ugh my skin is tingling and I feel violated.."

He was working through some things, but he was fine. I did not hurt him. Slowly he calmed down, slowly he realized that my plan was going to work.

"Oh... huh.. well"

He gripped me tighter, "So you are just going to wear me like a backpack while you hunt... fuckin great. Fantastic. Spectacular. How the hell am I going to hold on if you start bolting after a deer or whatever? I mean I don't have a better idea but.."

Silence human.

I know how to fix this. I began to roam his room freely.. oh this felt good. Unrestricted movement.

"What are you looking for?"

I didn't know exactly.. but I took a large paw and wrapped it around his two small hands, squeezing them together. He seemed to get the hint.

"You want to tie my fucking hands together?.. You seriously just want to make me into a backpack.. should I carry some books for you too?"

This I did not understand.

"Fine.. alright.. I don't want to be tied up, no thank you.. too kinky for my tastes. Being fucking naked in bed with a werewolf was already plenty thanks. Go over there, to those drawers.. yeah there. Grab that little metal.. yeah that, now pull"

I listened to every command he gave, "There, that leather thing.. it's a belt.. It'll give me something to hold onto, and hopefully I can just hook my feet like this.. God this is the dumbest idea ever.. Why? Why is this going to be my day..? You sure you can't just.. you know, eat what's in the fridge?"

I stared at him and he gave in, sighing heavily once more. "Alright.. fine. Let me at least get some clothes on.. then I'll drive us out. But you can't be seen, you'll have to stay in me till we get like.. deep out in the woods."
