Stepping Into Unknown Territory

[[cat.CHAN]]

<sup>Feeling the night air rush through her hair, Kait couldn't help a grin form creeping onto her features as she watched the scenery fly by. The trees and rolling hills seemed more inviting than ever. And if Eclipse wasn't a werewolf and had any ideas, she'd certainly show him. And she'd take great pleasure in doing do. She could already feel fur pushing at her skin, yearning to break through for a change, the first change she'd not forced in at least a month. True joy.

Keeping a very light, almost unwilling grip around Eclipse's waist to stop herself from falling off the back of the bike, her eyes shone neon green as she watched a clouded half moon roll by, feeling prickles of anticipation for when they stopped. She could only hope that her feelings were right, and he was one of her kind. She just wondered if he knew she was too.</sup>

Once leaving Eden Town behind and reaching the dirt road that led to the western plains, Eclipse had to hold everything back. These were the forests as a yearling he had grown up in and after entering the human world, they had been the ones he had found great joy. Tonight, wither this Kaitlyn Moore was one of his kind or not, he would show her the joy he felt. Wither it be by a ride on the back of his Harley, or a run in the forest. One would end with happiness if she turned out to be one of his kind, the other . . . . Well, if she turned out to be simply human, he would be returning alone to Eden Town and Tooley would never have to serve her another drink again.
Finally, they reached the beginning of the national park. As he killed the engine, he motioned for her to go ahead and get off, while he pushed the bike out of the way of possibly being run over by Eden teenagers looking for a good time.
He nodded out onto the plains. "Is this the place of rumors?" he asked, wondering who and where she had heard these rumors of wolves.

<sup>Rising from the bike, Kait stretched agilely, breathing in the night air. She could feel the change beckoning to her already. But she'd hold on, just for a few moments. Taking a few free steps across the soft dirt, she swung round to face Eclipse as he spoke, a soft smirk still remaining on her lips. He'd brought her to paradise.

"Yes...They say the people here aren't exactly...human, you know?" She spoke lightly, almost playfully, allowing herself to smile, her teeth sharpening to canines before his eyes, as she released just a little, bringing it phase by phase. Her eyes shone acid green as she gazed by him, no longer holding back. They were out their own, so it didn't matter if he was a werewolf or not. He seemed strong, but she somehow doubted he could take on a fully grown werewolf. She'd have fear on her side anyway. Maybe he would be strong enough to get away but the shock would weaken him, even just a little It would be enough.</sup>

[Ulv]

This lengthing of canines was not missed by Eclipse, as the flashing eyes had been in Tooley's bar. He sighed and slowly bent, turning his back on her, as he slipped the keys into their hiding spot in the metalwork of the Harley.
When he had turned eighteen, he had stolen the bike from out infront of Tooley's bar. He had also been caught, by Tooley himself, as it turned out that the bike had been his. Luckily, Tooley had been a bit younger and less of an ass, thus Eclipse had had to work for the bike, at Tooley's bar, while also working at the Steel Mill. After paying off for the bike, he had gone to Bucharest and found a metal worker who would do custom jobs. He learned from him and so was fixing the black Harley to his liking, adding hidden places like the one for his keys. It had taken nearly four years, but he had done it, thus claiming the bike truely as his.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly stood and turned to face Kaitlyn. "Not human, huh?" he purred. "And what would a pretty girl like yourself be doing out in a bar asking about these nonhuman people?" he teased, crossing his arms over his chest to keep his claws hidden. A feral smirked as he let his eyes flash golden once more, playing along with the slow process of changing.

<sup>Kait shook her head slightly, feeling fur begin to sprout along the backs of her hands, nails thickening and narrowing to points, putting both hands behind her back to hide it. Just a little longer.

"I was just...curious. And I had a feeling you might know something about it...Just intuition," She hedged, looking at him with a certain amount of teasing in her eyes. Now more than ever she was sure her theory was right. Maybe all those days looking hadn't been a waste of time after all. Maybe, she'd finally found what she was looking for.</sup>

[Ulv]

Cocking his head to one side, Eclipse chuffed through his teeth, before leaning his head to the left then quickly to the right, popping his neck, releashing a bit of tension that had formed there. This girl seemed to just be running around in cirlces . . . . Yet . . . . He was enjoying it.

"And what would I know about it? I'm but a simple man who wakes up every morning and puts his pants on like everyone else," he stated, not wanting to add in the fact that nine times out of ten, there was either blood from his kill the night before on him after waking, or he had to travel from the national park BACK to his house in fur, just to go to work.

<sup>"I wouldn't have expected any less," Kait said with a smile, canine fangs glistening ivory against the moonlight. Taking a few steps forward, Kait found walking now slightly uncomfortable, her feet already half-transformed into paws making it hard for them to be confined in her shoes.
"But surely you know more about those rumors. What exactly it is that roams these woods at night?" Her smile became devious, still teasing.

"You know, don't you?"</sup>

[Ulv]

Following her lead, Eclipse pushed himself off his bike and stepped toward him. He raised himself up a bit, walking on his toes to safe him the discomfort of walking on half formed wolf pads. When he was within arms lenght of her, he stopped. "You should be more concerned with what you have before rather than what are in these woods, miss," he grinned, sharply pointed teeth flashing in the dim moonlight.

<sup>Glancing toward the inviting forest, Kait grimaced slightly as her newly clawed feet pushed harder against the confines of her shoes, rising up onto the tips of her toes as he'd done to try and relax the pain for a little while.

"What lies in those woods never really worried me in the first place, to be honest," She replied, watching the light reflect off his fangs, a satisfied smile blossoming on her face. She was right. Waving a hand at the forest before her, she spoke nonchalantly, as if the matter was no more important than the weather. "Shall we go and see what all the fuss is about?"</sup>

[Ulv]

Glancing at her waving hand, tipped in claws, and past it, toward the forest she beckoned to. He sighed and turned his gaze back to Kait, wondering, even with all the signs, if she was truely one of his kind, or simply just teasing human, but he played along. She was showing signs of being a werewolf, but anyone can walk on their toes, have slightly pointed canines, and claws as nails. He had met them and killed them all the same.

"Lets," he stated, unfolding his arms. "Would you like privacy first, or are you comfortable in front of others?" he asked. Being born a wolf, Eclipse had no knowledge of human shyness, save only that some of his kind and most all humans did not enjoy being naked in front of their own. He waited for her answer, fighting back his better nature to just strip off his clothing and pad into the forest as he had been born.

^{A blissful smile lit up Kait's features at the thought of a Change, then blushed lightly, pulling a face. "Privacy, if you don't mind," Having been bitten rather than born, Kait wasn't used to the ways of the pack, despite having been a werewolf for a good few years now. She welcomed the ways of a pack, but she'd still need time to adjust. Kicking her shoes off into a patch of bushes where she was sure she'd be able to collect them again, she strode on elevated werewolf hind paws into the trees, choosing a dense patch before quickly removing her clothing, throwing them over a low branch and finally letting go, welcoming the waves of a pain as they tore through her, fur bursting through her skin at a frightening speed, muscles twisting and contorting violently, bones shifting and grinding to create a wolf's frame. Slowly, the pain subsided and Kait opened her eyes, stretching out carefully, glad to be looking at the world through a more familiar perspective once more. Padding back out through the trees, she waited for Eclipse's reaction, tongue lolling out in a wolfish grin.}

[Ulv]

Eclipse let out a low growl as Kait moved away from him, walking as only female werewolves could on their hind paws and still look deadly sexy. He shook his head, not letting himself think like that, but slowly pulled off his shirt. By the time he had his shoes and socks off, he could hear Kait's low groans of pleasure at the change and he couldn't help but smirk. At least someone else loved the feeling of shifting forms. Turning his back, he stuffed his shirt in it's hiding place in the bike, and pulled off his pants.

Clothes bothered him most of all about humans. So many layers created simply to confine and bother those who wore them. Maybe it was just him, but the idea of covering up a body that was born naked never set well with him. Hence the reason he enjoyed walking around the forest as either wolf or simply in the skin he was born with. Also, hence the reason he was standing there, werewing no underwear under his uniform pants.

Glancing over his shoulder, he heard rustling and found a beautifully color shewolf, tongue lolling out in a wolfish grin. He gave a smirk and allowed his change fully, feeling the fur sprout and his legs pop to form right for his wolf form. He winced at the wonderful pain that meant he was back in wolf form, one he loved and could have lived out his entire life in. As he finished off his change, he shook out his grey, black, and silver pelt, looking at the brownish shewolf with light honey orbs. As she had, he gave her a wolfish grin, tongue snaking out to lick at his chomps.

"Shall we?" he growled, stretching out his front paws, putting his rump in the air and his fluffy black tipped plume wagging happily. He had finally found another of his kind, though by her shy ways, he didn't think she had been born. He would have to find out.

^{Stretching blissfully, the dark brown she-wolf nodded, neon green eyes flashing with excitement as she surveyed the brute, feeling and overwhelming sense of joy of having found another of her kind. And now, this forest would be her kingdom, if only for a night, as she ran free as nature's queen of the moon above, the bitter-sweet melody of both her and her companion's howl rising to the heavens. Starting with a graceful lope to test Eclipse's skills, she broke through the trees, resisting the adrenaline rush that told her to run as fast as she could and let Eclipse eat her dust.}

[Ulv]

No reply, but her answer had been well noted. Loping after her, Eclipse kept pace but hung back just a little bit, allowing her free regin over his forest. If worse came to worse, her would just swat her and force her into submission if she over stepped her bounds, but for now, he had no problem following someone for once.

As they loped through the forest, Eclipse took note of certain places. That tree had fallen and become a rabbit's home. This trail was a fox's trail to the nearest srping, and the deers took the same trail. yet, as they came upon an uprooted tree that had fallen during the last big storm, he paused and looked up at the knarled mess of roots and limbs. This had been his favorite area to play as a yearling, but the tree was rotting now, so it wasn't that safe anymore.

Shaking his head, he glanced toward the dark brown female and let out a course growl to get her attention. "So what do you think of my forest?" he question, sitting with his back to the fallen tree, fluffy tail wrapped around his paws.

<sup>Wandering around the masses of trees and branches, eyes alight like a pup's, Kait was in her element, loping about the forest in long, joyous strides, eyes pricked and alert, eyes wide and acidic green, shining brightly. As his posed question reached her ears, she stopped, sitting back lightly on her haunches, yawning slightly before stretching out her forepaws and resting her head upon, them looking up at him with bright eyes. "You are lucky to have such a place as a home," She spoke wistfully, almost in a dream-like trance, a blissful smile upon her jaws.

This place truly was paradise.

Even though she knew that morning would soon appear and she would most likely have to return to life, but until then, she could live her dream. In her mind, this place thrived with the spirit of wolves in past and present, a pack she longed to be a part of. Maybe, if she played her cards right, this new ally could possibly be the root of something of dreams, if she could only find more of her own kind. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but Kait would rather live in dreams rather than cold reality.</sup>
