Mel smiled and wasn't offended at all by the touch. "Yeah well your among good company then.." Mel sat up. "You know I'm surprised your still around..." She said looking at Jill. "Er.. I mean.. not that your not welcomed.. Its nice to have someone else around..." Mel looked down at her hands they were filthy. She looked back up at Jill and said, "God, I must look like ... well i dont know what word would describe it but.. I am more than a mess.." she laughed a bit.

"Yeah, you do look pretty awful..." agreed Jill, nodding. She opened the mini-fridge and started taking out food, shoving everything into a sack.
Then she began to fill a couple of canteens with water and looked around for her clothes.
"Where did I put my other cloak...?" she asked, not really speaking to anyone in particular. "Oh, here it is..."

Mel curiously watched the wolf for a second. Then asked, "what are you doing exactly? " She raised an eyebrow at the other girl.

"Well, the wolves are declaring war so I figured I might be on the road for a while," Jill replied calmly. She explained about the microchips and what had happened to the wolves already chipped.
"I can't really stay here...I'll camp out in the woods tonight. I'm sure they'll start chipping us immediately so I have to avoid cities..." Jill said, mumbling to herself.
She turned to Mel. "So what will you be doing? Going back to take another job?"

For some reason Mel felt disappointed and sad. She forgot that they would eventually part ways. She felt kind of stupid for assuming other wise. She sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess I'm going back. There really is nothing for me here. What am I going to do hang out with a bunch of furries?" Mel smirked and quickly went to the bathroom and shut and locked the door. She leaned up against the door and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath then turned on the shower.

After getting everything ready, Jill turned to walk out the door. In the doorway, she paused for a moment and sighed before continuing. It had been kind of nice having someone else around. "Maybe I'll see her again after things have calmed down...if they do, that is..."
Jill walked down the stairs quickly, trying not to attract attention to herself. She was able to get outside without any problems and headed out of the city to a nearby forest.
It didn't take long to set up camp and she probably would have been able to get several hours of sleep...if she COULD sleep, that is. There was just too much going through her mind.
An hour or two passed and Jill was finally getting sleepy until she heard something. It sounded like crying. Jill's heart began to beat faster...she was completely vulnerable right now without the ability to shift. Still, she was prepared to fight.
Much to her surprise, though, it was a little girl who wandered over to her camp. The child was covered in scratches and bruises...she looked like she had been walking through the woods all day. Teams streamed her face but when she saw Jill she looked hopeful.
"...Oh, erm...are you lost?" asked Jill.
The girl ran over to Jill and hugged her tightly. "...I-I...I don't know w-w-where my mommy is..." she said, sobbing.

Mel got done with her shower she stepped out in to the room to no one and she felt lonly and empty. She was startled by her cell phone going off. she answered it. On the other end was a very angry man. "What the hell where you thinking!?" Mel rolled her eyes. "im sorry.. I just.." "YOUR SORRY!? No... I am taking half of your pay as a fine. There is no excuse!" Her boss then hung up on her. "DAMMIT! SON OF A B!TCH" Mel yelled. She threw her phone across the room. It hit the wall and shattered.

Jill patted the girl on the back. "Hey now, there's no need to cry. Now how did you get lost?"
"I...I...I don't know!" wailed the girl.
"Do you live in the city?"
"Y-Yes," the girl said, sniffling.
"What's your name?"
"Cassie..."
"I'm Jill, it's nice to meet you," said Jill, shaking her hand. "Listen, Cassie, tomorrow we'll go see your mommy, ok?"
Cassie's face lit up. "Just stay with me for now. It's very late and it'll be too dangerous for you to wander. Also, promise me no more crying, alright?" said Jill, smiling.
"Ok!" said the girl, smiling back.
"You can sleep in the tent...I'll be right out here if you need me."
After putting the girl to bed, Jill settled down outside the tent. "This is just GREAT. What the hell am I supposed to do?! I can't go back to the city...but I can't just leave a kid here either!"
--------
The next morning they woke up early and after a quick breakfast were ready to go. After walking for about two hours (Jill ended up having to carry Cassie) they reached the city.
"Alright, you think you can find your house on your own?" asked Jill, hopeful.
"No," replied Cassie.
"...Oh. Well...do you know your street?"
"No."
"...Telephone number?"
"No."
Jill sighed, this was going to be tricky. Her best bet was to go to the police but that was just asking for trouble. They had scans there, it wouldn't be hard to tell what she was.
They walked to the police building and Jill gently pushed her towards it. "Ok, now, go on. The nice people in there will help you find your mommy."
"I want you to come with me..."
"I really can't. You need to be brave, ok?"
"B-But...I'm...s-s-scared..." cried Cassie. Pedestrians were stopping to see what was going on.
"Sh*t. Dumb kid..."
"Ok, Ok, I'll come with you," said Jill, giving up. She grabbed Cassie's hand and walked inside. An officer immediately ran over.
"Can I help you?" he asked, eying her suspiciously.
"I found this girl wandering around alone. I'm sure her family is missing her," said Jill calmly, looking around.
"I see. Well, let me just scan you and--"
"Oh, no need. I'm just dropping her off and--"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but we've been ordered to scan everyone."
"I was already scanned! Earlier today."
"Then I'm afraid we'll have to do it again," he said, pulling out a small device.
"...Sorry, I have to go! Make sure you get the kid back to her parents!" said Jill, turning to run. Before she could do anything, though, the officer grabbed her wrist and turned on the device. He looked at it and his eyes widened.
"She's a werewolf!" he shouted, and more officers came over. Jill broke free of his grasp and took off, running as fast as she could. "If only I could transform..."

After Mel transformed she went to sleep. She had to check out at 6pm and be at the air port soon after, but she decided to stay another day or two. She figured she would let her boss cool off. So before she went to sleep she made flight change and bought 2 more days in her room.
----
Mel all of a sudden woke up early. The pendant in her pocket was glowing so much it burned her hip through her jeans. In the legend, It ment your soul mate was in danger. They were hurt or about to be. She took it out of her jeans and threw it in a drawer. It was annoying her. She then laid back down and closed her eyes. After a few moments she spelled smoke. Her eyes went wide and she looked over and saw that the dresser she threw the pendant in was on fire. She quickly snuffed out the fire with her pillow and took the pendant out of the drawer. "Stupid thing.." She sat on the bed for a few seconds then put on the pendant, she then got a sudden thought to go to the police station.

Jill made it out onto the street but was still being closely pursued by several officers. Just when she thought she had lost them, a couple more appeared in front of her. She was completely surrounded and crowds of people were gathering, shouting all sorts of things at her.
The officers approached her cautiously, not sure why she wasn't shifting.
"Fine, fine. I surrender. I'm not transforming, see?" said Jill.
"Lay down on the ground and keep your arms where I can see them!" shouted one of the officers.
"Geez, you're pushy--" began Jill, and that was when she heard a gunshot. She narrowly dodged the bullet.
"I said lay down!!" yelled the officer.
"...Ok, ok," Jill replied, dropping to the ground. She had to think of something.
-----
In the police building, Cassie was crying after seeing Jill run off. A woman walked in, looking distressed. When she heard the crying, though, her eyes widened and she ran over to Cassie.
Cassie grinned and shouted "Mommy!"
"Oh, Cassie, I'm so glad you're ok...where have you been?! Did you eat something?! How did you get here?!"
"A nice lady helped me! B-But...she ran away. They said she was a wolf. I don't understand, Mommy. Why were they saying mean things?"
"A wolf?" said Cassie's mom, a little puzzled.

When Mel arived at the police station there was a large crowd. She pendant started growing more intence and Mel started looking around franticly. She pushed through the crowd and saw jill lying on the ground police every where. Guns were sited on her, mel could even see some snipers in the taller buildings. She only had one choice. Mel bit her lip and ran in to the middle of the crowd. She heard someone shout "HEY YOU STOP!" and when she didn't.. guns went off. One hit her in the shoulder, and in the leg. The others she managed to dodge and get to Jill. She pulled her up and shielded her form bullets. Another hit Mel in the the back. "F*ck! That hurts!.. " She shouted. As they ran closer to the crowds she heard "Hold your fire!" and the gun shots stopped. As they ran Mel started to feel burning from the bullets. 'silver...' she thought. Mel pulled Jill towards the woods.

The police started to run after them when all of a sudden, a woman burst out of the police building. It was Cassie's mother.
"And what might you be doing?!" she asked, angrily.
"Ma'am, there's a werewolf in the city--"
"She saved my daughter, correct?!"
"Yes, but, that doesn't change--"
"You repay her by trying to kill her?!"
"Ma'am, we're at war here--"
"I don't care! They're heading out of the city now...let them go!"
The officers stopped. They couldn't do anything right now...this woman was the governor.
-----
When they reached the forest, Jill broke out of Mel's grasp. "What did you do that for?! You could have been killed!! Mel? Are you ok?!"

Mel leaned over a bit catching her breath. "Yeah.. just bullets.." She said in between pants. "Well.. I couldnt let.. y-you die....." She sat down. The silver was making her dizzy. She reached down and pulled out the bullet in her leg yelling out in pain. But soon after the wound healed. "crap.. I have two more to go.. f*cking police... what happened to dog being mans best friend?"

Jill raised an eyebrow. "...Dog? Are you trying to start a fight, bloodsucker?"
"Whatever. Drink this," she said, handing Mel a bottle. "I'm serious this time. It'll take the edge off."
She looked around. "Why aren't they following us? Weird..."
"Let me know when you can walk. We can't stay here for too long."

"ptf fine.." Mel took the bottle and drank it. then stood up. She left the bullets she didn't have time. "lets go.." She started running back through the woods. "You coming or what?" she yelled behind her. And she smirked.
