This is a Blood and Chocolate Fanfiction based from the movie, not the book. I couldn't find the option to the movie. So this is just for fun. Please tell me what you think. I do NOT own any of the characters. This is a crossover with another story idea that I've had haunting me for the better half of my writing experience. My character's history was inspired by an old movie, and if you have seen it, feel free to point it out. I won't say what movie because I'd like to see if anyone recognizes the back story. Enjoy!

My time draws near to meet them; the Loup-garoux. We have managed to calculate their prime location set to their old roots in Bucharest, Romania. They've strayed from America because the weak hearted have led the way to their home. I'm talking of Vivian Gandillon; rumors spread fast about an ivory wolf seen roaming about the woods. With the people fearing the rise of wolves in their parts, they took it upon themselves to hunt every last one of them. However, it was Vivian who was not of a wolf but a young girl rolling to and fro in the gathering snow. Whether the hunter's were deceived by their eyes or by their trusted companions, Vivian needed to flee. She suffered a tragic loss as her entire family was murdered.
I do not blame her for the wrath buried within, nor the one inside her. There are things I can assure you that I sympathize with. I can understand what its like to fight against what you truly are and yet, it can't be blamed. We are what we are and, whether we favor it or not, we must endure the ideals that Humans cannot know of us. I find it perspective to be rather dull. Though we are similar to them, we have our immediate differences. We aren't exposed. We do not hunt as one, or do we strategize to. Still, regardless of our ways, Bucharest is their homeland, their birthright. I may be what I am, ruthless at times, I know boundaries.
River pressed the pen firmly to the paper. Again, she seemed lost in her own deliberations to go on. River had agreed to come to Romania in order to study the Loup-garoux. Her family wanted to know their weaknesses as they were in limited number. Gradually with time, the Loup-garoux would reign as they did before. At least, that was what her family hoped for. With Loup-garoux known properly by the human eye, River knew that her own would soon follow. It wasn't that they feared exposure but, they feared a warfare. Her own remained but a whisper in history; a sick twisted creation by opinion, and still unjustly like the Loup-garoux.
River settled with a half a page that night. Her nerves prickled further as the days drew nearer. Soon, she would envelop her body in shadow as she'd done the better part of her existence. Now, it wasn't cliche to say those words because River needed to stay in shadow. Her kind lived in shadow simply because it was easy to hunt and live. And, amongst other things, shadows were the best thing to come; it certainly brought more freedom than the Loup-garoux had.
Savagely, River pointed out their differences and possible succession over the Loup-garoux. She undoubtedly sympathized with them only to forget her own predicament. River was dangerous, far worse in comparison to the Loup-garoux. They changed with both beauty and dignity; they knew what pain plagued their Human shape and were able to counter it with vicious hunger. River had to be kept down in order to prevent from harming others. Her wrists and ankles revealed such bruises, even her neck shone a bit of tenderness.
River crossed over to the window. She stared from her provided studio apartment to the city life beyond the complex. Her assignment would be hard; not much to hide when the change overwhelmed her and not much restrains nearby. She drew her coat from the bed's headboard, grabbed her keys, and leapt onto the emergency railing.
For the time being, River would explore the grounds of Bucharest. She wanted to find safe ground; a haven for when the Change became unbearable. She thought of one place, a zoo. She determined that hiding in her apartment alone couldn't stop her from tearing every piece of furniture to shreds. River didn't need to worry about ruining her temporary home instead, as the beast lay calm within, she managed to explore in peace.
