My knuckles were drying up from the blood, and I needed to heal them. People were around, the hour getting late as the night time visitors passed through the town to enjoy it's evening features. No one was looking right?

I held up my hand to my mouth and gently licked the cuts on my skin, wincing at how it burned. My saliva, much like dogs, if that made sense to you, helped heal the cut faster, and would decrease infection chances.

No one seemed to notice, so I did it inconspicuously. I had blocked everything I thought before out of my mind, it hurt to think about it. I debated on sneaking into Benny's to grab my clothes and leave.

But you would wanna stay if you went there.

I sighed heavily and dropped my hand down to my side as I walked slowly back out of town. I was getting to the woodsy part of it, making me feel safe, but also in danger. It was a really complicated and uneasy feeling. The wind starts to blow, and the trees beside me on the road hissed. I closed my eyes and listened to it.

It was what I grew up hearing constantly. The rush of leaves against the wind, my mother's soft voice right beside my ear along the way, with my fathers not far behind her.

I shook it off when a car passed me by. I looked through the tinted windows, but, since they were tinted, I couldn't see anyone. I had a chilling feeling it could've been Zayn looking for me. I didn't take any chances.

I turned on my heel and started to speed walk down the way that I came that led back to town.

This could all just lead me back to Zayn, I thought.

I stopped walking when I realized it was true. I had no leads, I had no idea where he was or where he could've been. Maybe he's already seen me? Maybe he wasn't even looking? I was literally walking blindfolded.

I groaned out loud, frustrated and starving. I didn't have a fucking clue what I was going to do.

Just go back to Benny, you did just kinda stomp off for no reason.

I couldn't, why would she even let me stay any longer if all i probably was to her was a dirty, scrounged up wolf that wants her? Besides, Id eventually have to leave her anyway, it might as well have been sooner than later.

A rodent like chatter caught my attention behind me. That made my stomach growl, and that growl travelled up my throat and poured out of my now fang filled mouth. I licked my lips as I gazed at the squirrel sitting on the branch above me. I growled at it, making it run off. I wasn't about to eat a squirrel if anything, here.

That was when I heard another car blare from the other end of the road. I gasped out loud, seeing it was the black car with tinted windows. I didn't care who it was, I didn't care if it was Zayn, Lars, or anyone, but I booked it like there was no tomorrow, running off into the woods on the side of the road. I felt another growl rise in my chest as I felt myself change.

First, I closed my eyes for a second, the change in reality was at least 4 seconds long, but living and acting through it felt like 2 minutes, like you were actually changing clothes to get ready for school. I didn't want to be late this time.

I felt my whole body burn and I bit my lip to hold back from making noises, but after i opened my now yellow and enhanced pupils, skilled at night, I was running on all fours, keeping low as I ran silently past peoples backyards. A few dogs barked at me, but it was too early in the night for people to actually check on what their half blind dog was barking at. I figured everyone was out in town anyway.

I went there, in town, and ran back into the alleys, making sure no one was around before I changed. I was back on my clothes and out of my fur. When I looked down, I saw Benny's sweatshirt still on me. It didn't make me feel any better.

Go back to her, just go back. What's the worst that could happen?

Well what exactly was I going to do now? My best bet was Niall's house right outside of...

Niall.

I grinned, proud of myself for having thought of it. I cracked my neck and looked around before stepping back into the busy streets. Everyone was either going one way or the other, minding their own buisness. Very wise. I froze when a strong scent hit my nostrils. I couldn't explain the scent clearly, but all I knew that it was familar. A good and welcoming familiar. A green Honda pulled onto my side of the road by the side walk, and out of the blue there was Benny, glaring at me like the mother I didn't have when I came home after curfew.

She was a beautiful sight.

Benny's POV:

If it weren't for us being out in the open I would not have hesitated to slap him. I narrowed my eyes and slammed my car down closed, clenching my fists. "Harry! Holy shit where the hell did you go?!" I yelled.

I watched as he just stared at me and shugged. "I needed some air.."

"What the hell ever, get your werewolf ass in the car now!" I said sternly, now standing in front of the car and pointing at the passnger door. Harry nodded, and it looked like he was holding back a cheeky grin.

I rolled my eyes and smacked his arm as hard as I could on his arm. "No smirks Wolf-Boy..." That made us both laugh. I waited for him to get into the car before I hopped into the driver's seat, and drove out of town.

"Harry, please tell me why you ran off..." I turned to him after a moment of silence as we were now at the edge of town, passing the diner.

He sighed heavily, never losing his gaze with the floor. "I..I felt terrible for trying to do that. I felt like a total dick..I figured, hey, you were probably going to throw me out anyway, why not just run and get it over with?"

I slammed on the brakes, making both of our bodies jerk forward a bit. I stared hard at him as we stayed immobile on the very unbusy road. His eyes, oh his eyes, they were'nt sparkling in their prime like they usually were. They looked stressed, red, and altogether, not happy. It almost made me wanna cry from seeing him in this state. He had ran away because he thought I was going to kick him out when he needed a place to stay, the reason still unknown, but I'd get to that later.

"Harry...listen..." I took a deep breath and bit my lip, shaking my head at him. "The only thing I'm mad at you for is running away. It scared the shit out of me. And i felt like it was all my fault. Which it was, don't argue me on this..." I said before he could retort back, his mouth opening then closing at my words. "I am sorry Harry." I sincerely apologized and slowly said each word.

He was staring at me still, and remained silent, making me blush again before I turned back up front and pressed on the gas.

I saw the smile, then the fade of it, before Harry spoke after awhile. "No, you can't be sorry. I took Patches away from you. I..I had no idea how much he meant to you..." He looked back down at the floor again. "And...god damn it!" He hissed, making my head flinch in his direction. By this time I had parked in my driveway, and got out, leaving Harry cutely tugging at his hair in frustration. I looked at him solemnly until he got out, and then, I walked over to the other side of the car, and hugged Harry's broad chest. I had my head tucked inside it, and my fingers locked behind him. He was so much taller than me, but I felt the bottom of his chin scrape my head when I slid into his arms. His heart skipped a beat, which I heard with my ear pressed to his chest, making me giggle. Arms finally returned the favor and wrapped around my body. I shivered at the new feeling. Harry's hugs felt warm, and safe. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. I missed it so much. "I shouldn;t have tried to kiss you. I don't know what I was thinkng..." He mumbled. I felt the virations bouncing off his chest. "I just...I don't know..." He sighed exasperatedly. I giggled softly again. That was my constant answer to everything. Sometimes you just didn't know.

I gave him a quick squeeze before looking up at his blushing face, and breaking into a smile. I slowly leaned up on my tiptoes and placed my lips onto his cheek, brushing my mouth over his cute cheekbone. I had to grin at how wide his eyes had gotten when I leaned back down to my heels. I even saw his cheeks flush in the dark of the night, street lights shading his handsome features of his face. I snickered to myself before hitting Harry's chest playfully, knocking him back a bit. "C'mon Wolf-Boy...let's go back inside..."
