It took a while for Curtis to drag the body deep into the woods, and longer still to cover the trail of blood with dirt. But once he was finished he was satisfied. Yes, he could smell the blood, but the scent was fading and he was a wolf, so it was only natural that he could smell it. And of course, he was dirty again. He'd rinse off when he returned home.
Katra was still awake when he returned, much to his dismay. She was still laying down, but gazing at the door, and in turn at him.
"I'm fine," he assured her. "Let me rinse off and I will join you."
***
"I didn't hear squat," Connor mumbled as he was dragged along. It was fortunate that he hadn't yet changed out of his clothes. He barely managed to snag and slip on his shoes before he was being yanked out the door and down the stairs. If only he had his gun!

"I'm sorry." Luka could tell he was disgruntled." "But something very not good seems to be going down out there. Which I know seems like a good reason to not go out there, but...I recognize some of the scents out there." She looked at him pleadingly as she dragged him down the stairs.

Kat looked at him questionably, 'why was he covered in dirt and a little bit of blood?' She could smell the scent of the man she had killed on him. 'He must have been moving the body, oh ********, the body! How were they going to explain to the police that she had killed him but it really wasn't her it was her evil were self. Ah, yes, they would love the were species then.' Her mind was off wandering in this subject as he went off to clean himself again. She was still cold and pulled the blankets tighter around her.
------------------------
Jeff looked behind him and checked on the girls. "Don't run, you only make her want to chase you," he whispered to them before turning back to Aurora.
"Come now, these girls are too skiny to have any real meat on them, a nice plump deer would be the best. Especially now that they are plumping up for the winter!"
He reached out to put a hand on her fur.

Aurora flinched and looked at his hand. She didn't want it there... but something was keeping her from moving away.
"Stop. Stop! Go away!" She glared up at him. "Go away! I don't want a deer! I don't want a squirrel! I WANT THEM!" Her eyes narrowed into slits and she hunched back into a pouncing position. A fat blob of drool/slime spilled out of her mouth next to him. "Do not stop me."

Connor quieted himself. Luka was acting genuinely concerned, which meant that something really was wrong. He fingered the silver knife in his pocket as they ran.
***
When Curtis returned to Katra he was dressed in his boxers. She was curled up tightly on herself, and shivering. He couldn't have that. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and pulled her close.

Luka was horrified as they come upon the scene. It seemed that something stange had happened with the girl who she'd identified as a werecat the other day. Jeff and Yakov were standing there naked and two girls seemed to be caught in the middle of all of this. "You go try to help talk her down. I'll see if I can't get the girls out of here alive."

Kat immediatly found warmth in Curtis's embrace. She slipped her arms around him and breathed in his familiar scent. She was cursing herself for being tired the last hour and then now being fully wide awake, again. She could never sleep right off the bat when she was with Curtis. She enjoying looking at him too much for that.
------------------------
Jeff noticed, well smelled, Luka and Connor. 's**t' he thought, he was sure they were not going to be much help in calming down the crazy Aurora.
"No, you must stop, little Aura. They are humans just like you were once. I will continue to try and stop you, even if it kills me, you should not kill the humans. That only increases their fear and the need for them to hunt us." He gripped her fur tightly.

"You do realize that I'm a better killer than a negotiator, right?" Connor mumbled as he walked up to the others anyway. The two men recognized as Jeff and Yakov, but the werecat... he hadn't a clue. Normally he ignored that species altogether, but this one was obviously a threat and... obviously not normal. It was mutated. He caressed the blade in his pocket. Maybe it would be better off out of its misery. But did silver work on werecats? Suddenly Connor cursed the fact that he'd never really studied them. And now that he was there with the two awkwardly naked men, what was he supposed to do?
***
"We don't have much sleeping time before we have to leave for the school," Curtis reminded her solemnly as he began to pet her hair.

Yakov was not at all happy to have Connor here, but now was not really the time for grudges. He slowly walked towards Connor and whispered. "We have to keep her calm and distracted...or they'll get hurt." He made a careful guesture towards the girls and noticed that his sister was now with them. Good, she may just be able to get them out of this.
~~~~~~
Luka in the middle of trying to get the girls to pay attention. "Are you two okay." They didn't answer, but they seemed more in shock than anything. Actually one seemed to be checking out Jeff and Yakov more than anything.

Aurora glared at him. There were more people now. Another good smelling one behind her... This Jeff person was getting in the way. She'd had enough of it.
Aurora snapped. She swatted Jeff aside and made a leap for the girls, who, for the first time since the whole incident started actually made a noise and proceeded to run in opposite directions.
Aurora was more than happy to give chase. She clawed at one girl, grazing her back before she was out of reach again. So Aurora followed.

"Damnit" Luka and Yakov somehow managed to scream simultaneously. One dove out of the way as Aurora head off after the girls, the other ran for Jeff.

Jeff wasn't expecting it, and so he wasn't braced for it; the slaming down, with bone-shattering speed, into the concrete due to her paw. He was pretty sure he felt at least one of his ribs crack and possibly his left arm in one or more spots. But as he hit the ground on his left side, there were going to be horrible scrapes all along that side. He could smell his own blood as he slowed and finally stopped in a heaping pile of mess.
-----------------------------
Kat caught herself before she almost started purring. She looked him in the eyes and sighed. "I don't want to go, but we must. I wish we had more time." She held him tighter and could feel his chest against her. 'He's so warm and smelled so good...' She was starting to get sleepy, thank goodness.

Yakov transformed and began licking whatever parts of Jeff's wounds he could reach. "Jeff?" It came out souding both confused and concerned. It also had a little hint of 'what do we do now burried inside.

Aurora caught up with the first girl enough to pin her down under a paw. She was crying. Aurora didn't know why. She was having so much fun, why wasn't the other girl happy too? All she was doing was making water... icky little puddles of water on the ground...
"Why are you crying!?" Aurora growled at her. "I was having so much fun until you stumbled and started crying. Aren't you even going to squirm or bite me?" She pressed a claw a little more firmly into her middle until she could feel the skin break and blood wet the point of it.

Connor swore, too, although quite a bit more heatedly. The werecat was pinning one of the girls, so peaceful tactics were not an option. By the time he reached them, it could be too late. So, resorting to instinct and the last option he had, Connor withdrew his knife and flung it skillfully at beast.
***
Curtis sighed, partly from contentment and partly from disappointment. He didn't want to go either, curse responsibility! Maybe... maybe some day they could ditch civilization and live freely in the forest like some of others of their species. While traveling down that trail of thought, Curtis fell asleep.
