What is it doing?! No! Don't come toward me! Go to the illegal contractor!
We were so close.
"Helen! Get out of there!"
Hadn't they told me not to interfere?
"HELEN!"
The chain changed before my very eyes for the second time that night. It went from the blonde girl's form it had taken up to its original wolfish appearance. And then...
Standing before me was Sharon.
What was she doing here? It was too dangerous.
"I forgive you, Helen."
I froze, wondering, wondering as I gazed fearfully into those kind violet eyes whether or not I'd heard her correctly.
"Sharon...?"
"I understand everything, Helen. I don't blame you. I've been keeping a secret much like yours."
No-one else's voices were getting through to me. Only Sharon's could be heard as she neared me and wrapped her arms around my waist. For once, I felt safe. Her arms were like coming home. For the first time in forever, I wasn't disgusted with myself. Not even when I let her kiss me.
Only when the spell was broken and I was falling did the mortification truly hit me.
Everyone knew the Big Bad Wolf brought out one's innermost desires.
And now, everyone knew mine.
