Blood, Love, and Wolves

Wolf's had lived along side of humans. The humans had believed that werewolves had been extinct or fictional. But these wolves weren't like dogs. They could easily blend in with the humans around them. To stay in their wolf form it needed a lot of concentration so things could cause them to shift unexpectedly especially pain, unconsciousness, or any extreme emotion. When this happened it was sure to cause problems.

Kira was a shapeshifter. A lupin. A werewolf. She had long accepted it. She was now in her Human form munching down on a burger at a local outdoor café. She visited it normally with one other member from her pack, but today she sat by herself. Kira was enjoying life's solitude. Burgers were not her first choice in substance. She much preferred deer or perhaps mutton, Oh Yes, she loved mutton. Her tasty thoughts were caught short as a commotion was heard from the street. She looked up just in time to see a young man run past the small café. What caught her attention was the speed the man had. No human (perhaps an Olympic sprinter but no AVERAGE human) could run at such a speed.

"GET HIM!! CAPTURE HIM!!" she heard a gruff officer scream.

'This is not going to end well,' Kira thought as she made a motion to the waiter for her check.

When she was getting her change she heard a gunshot. The café occupants became frantic not noticing as Kira stole down the street following the sound.

As she was nearing her target she saw two large officers walking towards her in the opposite direction. Kira instinctively began eavesdropping at the same time pretending to look for something on the ground.

"…all I'm saying is that guy aint' normal," the orange-haired officer said.

"Well I don't know how he got away after you shot him and that explosion…you'd think it'd make it easier to track the guy…" the blonde one muttered back.

"Well maybe the guy went through them sewers…"

"Whatever happened to him the Duke is not going to be happy" the blonde spat angrily then stopped when he noticed Kira patting the ground absently.

"Excuse me? Can we help you, Miss?" the orange-haired man asked.

Whoops. She had been discovered.

"Hehe. No no everything's fine officers. I just uh…dropped my ring! Yes! My ring!! She gulped and looked at the ground again, "Oh! Well here it is…" She nearly shouted as she pretended to grab at the imaginary ring.

"Ah…Well I suppose I better get going. Nice chatting with you Officers. Good-Day!" Kira said as she turned at scampered into a nearby alley.

"What an unusual girl…" one of the officers commented as she rounded the corner. The other just shrugged in reply.

'Well that was a little too close for comfort' she thought, panting.

Kira took notice of her surroundings and looked around the alley. There was a broken wall which had huge chunks of debris covering the ground. An explosion of some sort must have occurred here. Dust littered the place and that's when she noticed it. Her eyes landed on a dark puddle in the middle of the alley. She bent down and sniffed at it. Definitely blood and it was fresh. By how large the spot was she assumed that whoever it belonged to was probably in pretty bad shape. Although her nose was keener when she was in her true form, Kira thought it best to remain in her human form just in case she ran into more officers. They seemed to be patrolling the area.

She followed the scent farther up the alley until she got to a broken door.

'Yep definitely in there' she concluded as she noticed the bottom of the door had a few scrapes and boards missing from the bottom. She crawled through the gap after many tries all resulting in very uncomfortable positions.

Once inside, she gasped. On the lone couch in the room, lay a dark brown wolf. She walked over next to it and looked at it closely. The wolf was entirely brown with the exception of its nose and part of legs. That's when she noticed the blood. A huge gash was on his back left leg and as she looked it continued to spill out blood.

'I've got to stop the bleeding' she thought desperately.

She tore part of her shirt and began to stance the bleeding. As soon as she touched the wound, however, the wolf jumped up (or at least attempted to). It fell against the couch with a yelp.

All of a sudden there was no longer a wolf in front of her but a young man or more accurately an older boy staring angrily at her. His dark hair was messy and hung in his face. She assumed by looking at him that he was probably 16 or 17 years. He wore a pair of worn blue jeans and a black sweatshirt. The jacket's sleeves were pushed to his elbows revealing a few spiked bracelets and that his arm was at an odd angle. Kira settled on the fact it was probably broken. The boy continued to glare at her.

"Who are you?" he asked hoarsely.

"Kira's the name" she said, "And I was just stopping you from bleeding to death until you very rudely interrupted."

This information must have surprised him because he looked down at his leg with wide eyes. A dark stain was spreading over his calf. He looked up and around the room then inquired,

"How'd I get in here?"

"How am I supposed to know I found you in here?!" Kira said with exasperation.

What the boy did next surprised Kira. He stood up and began walking towards the door. Upon arriving in the halfway point between the couch and the door he collapsed.

Kira, who was in to much shock to do much of anything until that point, sprang up and ran over to him,

"You idiot!! What do you think you were doing!? She shrieked.

He turned his head to look at her, his eyes glazed with pain,

"I got to get away from here…I can't let him find me" he whispered almost inaudibly.

Kira was taken aback.

"Shh…don't talk. I'll get help. Just stay still. But just tell me what your name is?"

The boy looked at her curiously.

"…Brice" he muttered before passing out.

A/N: well you found out his name stay tuned for the next chapie!
