Walking (Hideaki, Felix and Aodh)

That was it.

He growled, sprinting towards him, transforming into his wolf form in mid-flight as he lunged for the man's throat, snarling.

Felix frowned and got between the two as they started growling at each other.

He walked over to Aodh.
"Look man that is enough, you're just looking for trouble and you're not going to find it here.
I think it's time you leave."

Felix turned back to Hideaki as he heard the sound of snarling.
His eyes widened as he witnessed the timid man he had been talking two turn into a giant wolf.

"I think you'll find I am," he replied, nodding over the human's shoulder to the wolf.

"Pretty small, aren't you, Hideaki? I was expecting something bigger, you disappoint."

He continued to rile the Lycan up even after he had snapped. It was fun. The man's reactions were amusing.

The older wolf didn't even flinch as the pup lunged towards him.

Hideaki yelped as his body went flying into Felix's shouder, falling to the ground.

Dodging through the human's legs nimbly, he lunged at the other lycan's chest to bring him down. His teeth sank deep into the skin, with a snarl, shaking his head to tear at the flesh.

Felix fell to the ground and watched the wolf tear into the red head's skin.

"The hell..."
He muttered softly, his eyes widened in shock as his mouth gaped open.

There was no way this could be happening, he was delusional.

"Hey, hey, that's not nice. If you keep up you're going to stain my shorts. They're new," he complained, jamming his arm against the wolf's throat, pushing him away slowly.

The wolf may have been bigger than him, but he was stronger, even as a human.

Aodh had a surprisingly high pain tolerance considering he complained so damned much. Yes, this hurt, but he could deal. He'd been through far worse.

"Y'know you could help out here?" he called to Felix, leg moving to press against his own chest, using it to try and push the wolf away. "He's pretty big, its awkward trying to push him off alone. Preferably before he tears my chest open?"

He let out a yelp as an elbow jammed into his throat, the noise quickly turning back into a growl as he attacked to other shoulder, this time wasting no time before ripping a large tear in the man's flesh.

He had now completely lost his temper and wasn't going to get it back in a hurry.

Felix snapped out of it and got to his feet, wincing slightly as he heard Hideaki yelp.

"Hideaki! enough."
He yelled, grabbing the wolf by the scruff of the neck and trying to wrench him back off of Aodh before he tore too many more chunks out of him.
Looked like the guy wasn't lying after all.

"Oi, oi," he barked at the wolf as he tore at his shoulder.

He gave a shove with his leg, gaining the chance to slip out from under the snarling wolf.

Aodh stood and assessed the damage. He had nice patches of skin missing and blood dribbling down his chest. "How the hell am I going to explain this one to Aeker?" he muttered to himself. The vampire was going to ask; he had chunks missing from his chest.

"Oh, Felix, I wouldn't get to close to him," he muttered distractedly, prodding at the wound on his shoulder and wincing as more blood dribbled from it.

Hideaki scrabbled at Felix's arms with a frustrated snarl, trying to get at Aodh. His jaws snapped at the other Lycan furiously, struggling in the human's grip. The werewolf reared onto his hind legs, using his entire body weight to try and throw Felix off. He aimed another bite at the redhead.

But instead, his fangs sunk into one of the arms enclosing him.

"Agh!"
Felix let go of the wolf, wincing as he grabbed his arm.
He backed away a few paces from the wolf and dropped to the floor.

"Shit..."
He hissed through clenched teeth as he applied pressure to the wound.
It hadn't hit him yet that the bite was more than just a flesh wound.

His head snapped up when he heard the cry of pain.

"THAT'S IT, STOP!" His voice held an authority that couldn't be denied as he snapped the words, silver eyes piercing the wolf sharply.

After a moment he sighed and knelt next to the human. "Oi, let me see," he murmured. "I didn't want to bring you in this far." he didn't mean for the man to be turned, he just wanted to piss of the wolf and maybe scare the human a little.

"Tell me, Felix...Do you like werewolves?" he asked sheepishly.

He froze as soon as he realised that he had bitten Felix, falling to the ground with a yelp. The wolf whimpered as he got to his feet, crouching on his belly as he crawled towards the two.

He hadn't meant to do that. Aodh had pissed him off. He had never meant for Felix to get bitten.

He slowly turned back into his human form, not bothering to change as he rushed over, kneeling by the man's side.

"I think he's probably liked them better before now." he muttered, hating himself more than a little.

Felix did what Aodh told him too, moving his hand away from the bite mark and showing it to him, wincing as he did so, the mark was red and irritated.

Do you like...?
It suddenly hit him exactly what had happened.

"What's going to happen?"

He asked timidly, looking between the two, his eyes wide with panic.
He had gone from not believing in werewolves to being bitten by one all in a matter of minutes.

"It's prettier than some I've seen, at least." Aodh had seen a great number of very gruesome Lycan bites. This was rather clean compared to some.

He bowed his head, laving his tongue over the wound, leaving behind a thick layer of saliva.

"Calm down, kid, panicking isn't going to help you any, trust me."

He opened his mouth before closing it and pursing his lips. "You're becoming a werewolf," he said bluntly. "And there's fuck all you can do about it. Sit tight and try and forget the next couple hours if you can."

He stood and hoisted Felix up. "Lets get him to the forest. Its always better when they have trees to maul."

He nodded silently, wondering to himself how Aodh had apparently gone from an aggressive, slightly suicidal wind-up merchant to a reasonably authoritative leader in a matter of seconds.

Changing back into his wolf-form, he padded along behind them, letting out a quiet, whine, now seeming more a harmless dog than a wolf.

He licked one of Felix's hands apologetically, gazing up at him with watery, silver eyes.

Felix took a deep breath, calming himself down, he was terrified still though, not knowing what was waiting for him, he had seen a few werewolf movies and that knowledge was nothing helping.

He looked down at the wolf, trying to smooth the features of his face as his hand stroked the man's muzzle.
He had already been bitten so he wasn't afraid of touching him.
"It's okay." He muttered softly, trying to comfort the wolf.

He winced, gripping his chest, it was starting to ache.

"Ever broken a bone before?" he asked the man curiously. "And had a seriously nasty headache that feels like your head is going to split in two?"

He was going to be feeling those and a lot more for the next few hours.

"Hideaki, how old are you?" His eyes turned to the wolf.

"I'm going to stay human with you and Hideaki here's going to stay as a wolf. We're just going to talk okay? Ignore the pain and chat." Chatting would hopefully calm the human down some.

He ran a hand through his fringe, sighing softly. It had been a few years since he had had to coach someone through a change. Usually it was Coilean's job; he was the one that weeded out the weak from strong and dealt with the weak ones.

"So, what do you do?" He carried on hauling the man along, not pausing as he entered the forest, walking deeper. "Got a job? A girlfriend? A pet? Hobbies? Music preference?"

Four-hundred-and-twenty-eight.

The wolf whimpered quietly. He wished he could do more to help, but he couldn't remember much of his own transformation and he hadn't had experience in coaching before. Besides, he generally wasn't very good at communicating with people in general, nor recognising emotions so comforting wasn't his strong point.

He settled for nudging his head against Felix's hand and lapping at the man's fingers.

Felix nodded trying to focus on what the man was saying, his hand gripping onto his chest, it felt like someone was stomping on it.

"Yeah broke my arm twice, don't normally get headaches."
He muttered.

"Okay, chatting, I can do that."
He followed the man obediently, if he was changing he'd rather have this man as an ally if he knew what was happening.

"Job, yeah freelance artist." He winced as a headache started to set in by tried to recall what else he had asked.

"Girlfriend, no. No pets either.
Hobbies, photography and skateboarding...Agh.."

He shook his head slightly, as a ringing started to fill his ears.
He moved the hand that Hideaki had been licking and gripped it to his temple.
"Uhh...Music...Alternative rock mostly."

"Cac... That is not what I wanted to hear," he sighed. "You really are just a pup."

Which was going to make it all the worse for Felix.

He pursed his lips. "Yeah, well, you're going to get one tonight. Your skull cant change shape without getting a headache, I'm afraid. It gets easier, though. I don't feel any discomfort when I change any more." Comforting wasn't his strongest suit. Yes, its going to hurt like a son of a bitch, but in a few years it wont hurt...much.

He arched a brow. "Oooh, an artist. Do you draw or sculpt?"

The other brow rose to meet the first. "Good looking guy like you dont have a girlfriend? Come on, you gotta have someone. A guy maybe?" He wouldn't believe that someone as good looking as this kid didn't have any admirers.

"You'll have to teach em skateboarding. I haven't picked up a board since I fell off one a couple years back and broke my leg. Again." His bones were so weak after so many years of abuse; they were definitely his weakest points.

"Good choice. Favourite bands?"

He was going to keep the man talking until it got too painful.

He twitched a little at Aodh's words, nudging Felix's side reassuringly as they walked. As if Felix wasn't frightened enough already, Aodh just had to say something like that. On the other hand, perhaps it was better that Felix knew what to expect.

The wolf let out a little sigh, drifting into his own thoughts, yet continued to watch Felix closely to make sure he was doing ok.

Felix groaned and doubled over clutching his chest, the pain was getting worse, his ribcage was slowly expanding and it was beginning to feel as if the bones were about to snap.

He winced as Aodh talked, his skull was going to change shape? The thought made him shudder it was becoming more and more apparent that he was in for one hell of a rough night.

"Drawing." He blurted out, still trying to talk to the man, anything to take his mind off of the pains be was beginning to feel.
"Don't have anyone. Father died recently."

He spoke through gritted teeth as he struggled to keep on walking as the man dragged him along.
"Too busy working and going to school to have a boyfriend."

He bit his lip as he took in a rugged breath, struggling to recall all the questioned the older man had asked him.
"Favourite band, Muse."

He replied, glancing up at the man, how much further was he going to make him walk...

"Drawings good." Though, if he had to sit down and do any form of art it'd be sculpting. He liked getting his hands dirty.

"Not fun. Well...you've got a few people now. How many people do we have in the pack...?" He pursed his lips. "Me, Lean, Sprout, Alek, Zeke, Hide, Rico, Damien. Any kids that Sprout and Zeke have soon." He wanted kids and they were going to provide.

"Yeah, not alone any more, kid. We'll be around to help you through this, we've all been through it except Sprout."

He opened his mouth hen pulled a face. "Forget about work and school."

The Eldest Lycan looked around then nodded, satisfied. "This'll do." He stopped walking, still holding on to the boy.

"Have at a tree if you feel like it. Dont try to hold back the anger, just let it flow."

He felt a faint pang of disappointment when Felix announced that he was too busy for a boyfriend, but then mentally reprimanded himself. He had only just met the guy. It was ridiculous to get too hopeful too soon.

The wolf curled up under a tree, watching the pair. He felt a bit left out being the only one in his wolf form. He found it difficult to talk to them like this. But he supposed Felix would need someone to be a wolf too when he finally did change.
