The first words used to describe Nico Robin would usually be along the lines of beautiful, incredibly attractive, impossibly gorgeous, breathtaking and sexy as hell. Comments like 'Are you a model?' or 'Would you be interested in an acting career?' became background noise for her a long time ago. Along with the surprised expressions she got every time she answered what her profession truly was. Because while men, and sometimes women, tended to look at her with disclosed desire in their eyes, Robin only had eyes for ancient texts and archaeological artifacts.

Her ernest, honest love for history and her desire to spread knowledge are what brought her to her current position of sitting a piece of wood with a thin blanket over her shoulders and a book in her lap as she observed the second year students of the high school she was teaching at as they chatted around the campfire with a faint smile on her lips.

Sensing the additional presence of someone next to her, she turned he head to see Trafalgar Law, the biology teacher sitting next to her, two cups of coffee in his hands. She took one gratefully and looked up at the sky.

"It's a beautiful night isn't it?" she asked with a smile. Law looked up for a moment and nodded. "Hey, Nico-ya?"

"Mmm? What is is?"

"Do you believe in legends?" The question surprised her, and she tore her gaze from the starry sky to look at him, his own eyes glued to the bright, full, moon. "Not particularly, why?"

"It's a full moon tonight"

"And?"

"According to the legend, werewolfs transform when it's a full moon". Realizing his point she couldn't help but let out a feminine chuckle.

Turning his head towards her, he gave her a somewhat cold stare. "You don't believe me." His tone was cold and accusing, like his eyes, and it actually made her feel a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Trao-kun. I'm just surprised that someone like you would believe in such things"

He stiffened a little at the nickname, the cold in his eyes melting into something else. "I don't. But we are in the middle of the woods in a full moon night babysitting a bunch of kids. So why not have some fun with that, y'know?"

"Are you planning on pranking the children, Trao-kun?"

Her voice had a playful tone to it now, But law apparently interpreted it as flirtatious . "No, but in case we do get attacked, I'll be here to protect you" he said huskily, almost in a whisper.

He was also much closer to her now, leaning towards her.

Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, someone else saved her the trouble of politely pushing him away.

An ear piercing screech reached their ears as they both turned their heads sharply just in time to see a hairy figure lashing out at the female student who screamed, it's teeth sinking into her throat.

Chaos erupted around them as students started screaming and running in every direction, trying to create as much distance as possible between them and the beast. The plan seemed to backfire at then though as the beast jumped in sort of a frenzy all over the place, attacking however it could reach.

Law pushed himself up from the wooden bench, pulling her with him before letting go of her and charging towards where the beast was tearing through the flesh of students unfortunate enough to cross it's path. Law took an army knife out of his belt and yelled at her over his shoulder. "Nico-ya! Take as many of the kids as you can and get the hell out of here! And whatever you do don't look back!"

His voice snapped her out of the shock she was in and she reluctantly started running in some random direction, shouting for the students to follow her. Around her she could hear some of the other teachers doing the same thing, while the screams of some others who have joined law in an attempt to kill the beast reached her ears.

They managed to get pretty deep into the forest when the screams restarted, but this time they were much closer. Robin had about a second to register to meaning of the situation when she felt something tackle her from behind. Sharp, pointy teeth sank into her shoulder as she hit the ground with her own scream of pain.

Somehow, she managed to gather enough force to turn her head, finding herself nose to nose with a gigantic gray wolf, it's black, piercing eyes staring right into her own sapphire ones before she felt it's sharp claws sinking into the flesh of her waist.

The world turned black around her, but not before she heard something that sounded faintly like gunshots.
