My memories are a bit fuzzy they always are the night after but i can remember snippets. my first memory is of the change not exactly a pleasant one but its a part of life.. well a part of my life anyway, the bones snapping the skin tearing feeling the cells in my eyes burst and refill. The second memory is a better one its sometime after the change i'm running through the woods feeling the damp earth and leaves under my paws smelling the scent of a wood full of prey and the sound of the life around me. The third memory is more of the gory side it looks, like i've caught my prey a deer i think i remember hoofs so at least i know it not human.

The final memory is more disturbing i'm standing by a large redwood and i can see a figure with her back to me. Slowly i'm creeping closer to the figure i can make out long blonde hair, i can feel my lips curl and my teeth hit the cold air of the night.

A smell fills my nostrils it was kind of like a mix between rotting meat and strawberry's, it not like anything i can recall smelling before at least on in my present state of mind. She still hasn't noticed me she's too consumed with an argument she was having on the phone, i can't remember what she was saying it was all gibberish to me at the time anyway.

Still making no sound i crouch down ready to pounce, i fill my nose with her scent ready to track her if she escapes. Quickly i lunge forward aiming for her neck, she spins around to face me faster than i thought was humanly possible with a look of surprise on her face.

After that it all blackness and white noise, guilt fills my stomach and i let out a loud groan "not again" i whine. Moving my hands to rub my eyes i realise that i can't, creasing my face in a frown and opened my eyes and looked down at my hand to find them shackled to the wall behind my. "Okay" i said to myself "this is unexpected" pulling on the chains a concluded that i couldn't break them so i scanned the room looking for a key or an escape.

The room was a dungeon like something out of a castle torture scene from a hollywood robin hood movie and although angry villagers were a known reaction i was pretty sure north america was one of the last places they would gather. Taking in more of the room i noticed voices coming from the other side a big metal door and a familiar smell drifting towards me, rotting meat and strawberries.

Taking advantage of my wolf hearing i listen to the conversation.

"no i didn't kill him he's locked up on the lockwood estate"

…..

"im here now"

….

"no i don't need your help i just need to find Stefan is he there"

….

"why do i even bother you know what Damon forget it i'll deal with him myself"

…..

"you are just disgusting"

….

"im not even going to dignify that with a response"

….

"GOOD BYE Damon"

There was a beep as the phone hung up and footsteps approached the door, blonde hair was visible through a slot in the door which was soon followed by blue eye's peering through at me. I decided to take the first step "you know" i shouted out at the girl "the shackles are very kinky but if anything less than a beautiful women walks through that door i'm going to be pissed" there was a few second silence while the girl thought through her reaction.

A loud thunk came from the door before it swung open revealing the blonde from my memories but no i had time to map out her features. Her long blonde hair curled into ringlets that draped down her shoulders, her blue eyes were bright and piercing clearly filled with determination. "i'm not disappointed" i smirk causing her to roll her eyes "off the phone with one idiot and face to face with another" she quickly approached him stopping just out of reach and shifted on her feet, she seemed unsure of herself it was probably more intimidating in person than in her head. "Well" i said cutting her off as she was about to speak "i'll get the ball rolling i'm Jason" i extended my hand towards her causing her to take a step back as she tried to keep a safe distance.

"Caroline" she stated staring at my hand in disgust "who are you? and what are you doing here?" she said crossing her arms in what looked like an attempt to look tougher than she was. "As i said" crossing my own arms "i'm Jason and right right now i'm enjoying the view of this dungeon cell" i said gesturing one arm at the room.

Caroline knelt down to make eye contact with me making it clear she wasn't in a joking mood, af if the shackles didn't already say that. "You attacked me" she said slowly in a stern tone "why? did someone send you to Mystic falls?"

I looked into her eyes trying to cox some kind of meaning out of her words but failed "i'm not really sure" i said relaxing against the wall "i drank like a fish last night and to be honest i thought this was a jail cell or a drunk tank or something". shrugging my shoulders and continued "but i should have known better if you're naked and dirty in a jail cell they dress you" i gestured at my body which had lost all its clothes after the shift last night. Pulling herself up to her full height and nervously looking away clearing her throat "what do you mean you were drunk?" she looked at me puzzled "don't you know?".

I stretched my limbs and widened my legs a bit to make sure she was uncomfortable "don't know what little miss blood-a-holic? that on full moons i grow pointy ears, a tail and go woof?". Slowly i got to my feet, my body was aching from the night on the floor and rubbed at my wrists "to be honest i was just passing through and found a good place to shift" i said.

Caroline nodded and backed away again keeping the distance between us "okay but why did you attack me then?" she asked, i shrugged in response "natural enemies, it's not the first time i've come across one of you and it's never really ended well".

This answer also seem to satisfy her, taking a step close she asked "are you a Lockwood?" i raised my hand and made a so-so gesture "distantly their my mother's, cousins, uncles grandfathers something". I lifted my arms up to show my cuffed hands "are you done with your interrogation or can i go" Caroline stared at me unsurely before putting a hand in her jacket pocket and pulling out a key.

I jumped up the last step on the staircase and landed my bare feet on the dew ridden grass outside the cellar. I stretched out fully trying to get the cramps out of my limbs and took in a deep breath and let it out as i heard Caroline step up behind me and cleared her throat "im.. a going to go get you some clothes wait here". There was a quick blur as Caroline disappeared leaving me on my own, looking around myself i took in the scenery committing it to memory if i need a quick place to shift this little dungeon would be perfect.

As i continued to wait i took in another breath and smelled the air, my nose picked up on a strange smell. It was a wolf smell that part i recognised well enough but there was something wrong with the smell it, it was mixed with what smelled like rotting meat.

I was drawn out of the head by the sound of quick foot steps approaching, i turned to face her as there was another blur and Caroline reappeared clutching a pile of clothes "here you go Shirt, jeans and shoes". I gratefully took the clothes and pulled them on but left the shoes, i prefered the feel of dirt under my feet after a shift. sometimes i stayed shoeless for the entire week after a full moon everything feels a lot more fresh and raw after the moon.

"Cheers" i said handing her back the shoes and chuckling a bit at her confused expression, i looked around and started walking in a random direction. "Where are you going?" Caroline said as she struggled to keep up with my long stride, i raised a finger and pointed in front of me "this way" i said "the town's this way and so is my truck".
