Rise heard someone walk down the hallway and she curled up tighter into a ball as she listened to voices from the Front Room downstairs. After a few words spoken, another person passed her door and she pulled herself into a tighter ball, if it was possible, and watched the door as it opened and Ariel came in and simply slipped into the bed, not even looking at her. Biting her lip, Rise watched with her eyes wide as he curled up and fell asleep almost instantly. Eyes wide Rise looked down at him in confusion. She had taken his bed, but, she wasn't sure what to do. He hadn't seen that she was awake, and had simply fallen asleep next to her. Rise put her hand to her chest, and felt the wound sitting there, so innocent right now, just another cut, a cut that had completely changed her life, and she wasn't even aware how much at this point.
Rise moved a bit closer to Ariel, and her fingers found his shirt, gently pulling up so she wouldn't wake him, and pulled it up far enough so that she could see his own wound. Looking at the cut on his body. A bite, but a lot worse looking then hers. Like the person who had bit him wasn't actually trying to be careful, just getting it over with. Rise touched the tip of her finger to his wound, and bit her lip. He had said there was a puppy inside everyone, and you could tell their emotions on how the wound looked. She looked down at her own, and realized that before it had been raw and red, almost angry looking, now though, it looked almost pale, light, and soft. The puppy had calmed down a lot ever since her body had gotten some sleep. Rise kept her fingers on his wound, and then touched her own and felt what felt like a shock through her body. She nearly fell out of the bed as she removed her hand and curled up away from him.
Rocking back and forth slightly, she pulled her knees to her chest, and looked down at Ariel, laying asleep on the bed next to her. He had bit her, and for that split moment, she could feel that werewolf personality sitting behind her eyes. Waiting almost patiently for the full moon to rise, where it could then take over, not just mentally, but physically. Rise didn't know when the next full moon was, but she had a feeling it was sooner then she would like it to be. Slowly unwinding her arms from around her knees, she looked at Ariel one last time, and then after a small amount of time debating, she curled up so that just her fingers touched Ariel's back, and she let herself fall asleep again.
