***Dream Sequence***
Everything was white with snow. No matter where you looked, there was snow; blank and lifeless. Among the snow, was the lustrous auburn hair, of a young, yet wise female wolf. She was not in the expected form, she was instead, in the figure of a human.

She was in a comfortable slumber, until she stirred ever so slightly. The wolf girl opened her crimson eyes to the surrounding world, taking in the emptiness. She noted how bland the world was. No color. No life. She was seemingly, alone.

"Where am I? Why is this place so empty, and cold? I don't like this." The wolf girl said to herself. Fear apparent in her voice. She obviously didn't like the world she was in.

The girl stood, deciding that she would explore this seemingly empty world of snow. She started her pace in no specific direction. She just started walking. Her strides were slow and lifeless.

"This place. 'Tis too desolate for my taste. I wish someone was here with me. I don't like being alone." The girl said audibly to herself.

The girl continued her trek, into the vast nothingness. She walked, each step becoming more labored. Not because the girl was tired, but rather, she was scared that each step she continued to take, she would continue to be alone. She still continued on though. She was determined to find some form of life.

"I have to find someone. I can't stay like this. I can't stay alone, and cold." The girl said with a further saddening tone.

The girls determination was rewarded, for ahead of her was another wolf. This one, how ever, was in its lupin form. It stood at a height that made the girl seem miniscule. Its fur, white as the snow around it, had a silver shine to it. The beast's eyes were a blue that put even the most precious sapphires to shame. It stood solemnly, its bulky frame unwavering. It just stared at the girl with cold and calculating eyes. Like daggers, it seemed he was staring straight into the girls very being. It spoke, but its lips didn't move.

"Holo, why? Why would you do this too me? Holo, do you hate me?" The wolf asked. It had a serious, yet sad tone. It genuinely thought Holo had hurt it somehow.

"What? I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never met you before. I can't hate a being I've never met." Holo responded. She was wondering if this wolf was confused, and had mistaken her for someone else.

"So on top of doing this to me, you have forgotten me as well? You truly are a monster, Holo. I will show you who I am. Follow me." The wolf said as it turned around and started walking.

Holo followed the beast. She didn't argue because she was genuinely curious as to who it was. It had to be someone she had some sort of connection to.

"So, what is your name? You have a name, do you not?" Holo asked the wolf. She would at least like to know the beast's name if she is going to blindly follow it.

"My initials are K.L. That's all you get for now. You will figure out the rest soon enough." The wolf said, intent on keeping its identity a secret, for now.

"You are no fun. I'll just call you for now. I am assuming you are a male by the way you act and sound." Holo said as she looked around uninterestedly. She was starting to get annoyed with this wolf.

"There will be no need for that, because we are here." The wolf said as a dilapidated village came into sight.

Holo looked around in amazement. The village was ruined. There were scratch marks all over the walls. Some of the windows and walls had giant holes in them. Why would bring her here.

"This is where it happened. This is where my life was ruined. This is where you ruined it." said with obvious disdain. He stopped in the middle of the village, and dug through the deep snow with one paw. He was looking for something.

After a short while, stopped digging. He turned to look at Holo. His eyes were as cold as ever. It was obvious he didn't like Holo at this point.

"You want me to look at something?" Holo asked curiously. She wondered what could be here. It was something that is supposed to reveal the wolf's identity.

Holo slowly walked over to the spot had dug up. As she got closer to the hole, she could tell something was in it. Her eyes became wide at the sight of what was in the hole. It was a jacket, but not just any jacket. It was her beloved Lawrence's jacket.

"Wait, this means you are..." Holo started sobbing, " Lawrence?" She didn't like this. Holo hated this. She wished she could just die, but it wasn't that simple.

"Yes. I am. You did this to me Holo. I am a monster because of you. Now you must take responsibility." Lawrence said to Holo. His voice ever so cold.

"No. No! Noooooo!" Holo screamed through tears.

***Dream Over***

"Noooooo!" Holo screamed as she jolted up. Her heart was beating a mile a minute. She looked around. She was in an inn.

Holo jumped as she felt a hand go across her lap. She looked down and saw that Lawrence was still sleeping. He was currently cuddling her side and had his arm across her lap. Holo saw his hopeless face and smiled.

"So, twas just another dream. That's good. I couldn't go on if I was without my fool." Holo said softly as she put a hand on Lawrence's cheek. He stirred under her touch and woke up. His cerulean eyes opened slowly.

"Good morning Holo, did you sleep well?" Lawrence asked softly. He had propped him self up on his elbow and his cheek was in his palm.

"Yes, I slept well enough. Did you sleep well?" Holo asked in her own soft voice. She lied, but she didn't want Lawrence to worry.

"For the most part. I did have this weird dream, where I was surrounded by snow though. It was empty, until I found you. I heard my self keep saying it's your fault, and I even asked if you hated me. How stupid is that?" Lawrence asked.

Holo's breath hitched. Lawrence had the same dream as her, but their roles were switched. "It is indeed, stupid. I would never do anything to harm you. You should know that by now, fool." Holo said with a blush. She couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen soon.

"Yes, I know. So what do you want to do today? I'm all yours, there is no business to do." Lawrence asked. He was brimming with energy even though he just woke up. The thought of spending a full, uninterrupted day with Holo made him happy.

"I would like to start traveling again. It turns out, I'm not used to the idea of staying in one village for a week. I enjoy the freedom of traveling. That's all." Holo said. She didn't want to stay in the village. Just in case the eerie felling is coming from the village. She wanted to leave to keep Lawrence from harm.

Lawrence's expression was that of a confused child. Apparently Holo caught him off guard with this one. "So you want to continue traveling? Well, I guess that would be ok. Let me just pack up our stuff and we will go." Lawrence said as he got out of the bed. He was a little disappointed that he would have to leave so soon.

Holo grabbed Lawrence's sleeve, and pulled him back down. His head landed in her lap. She was looking down at him with her beautiful crimson eyes. "Fool, I did not say we had to leave now. I was hoping we'd have a little fun first." Holo said with a suggestive tone, and mischievous smile.

Holo started to bring her head down to Lawrence's. She let her lips brush his. Then she indulged Lawrence and passionately kissed him. It was a heated kiss of two lovers. Holo had used her tongue to prod Lawrence's lips. She wanted entrance into his mouth, and he obliged. It was immediately a fight for dominance in Lawrence's mouth; Holo was winning. She was twisting her tongue around Lawrence's to restrain it, but Lawrence still fought back. He wasn't going to lose easily, so Holo improvised. She took Lawrence's hand and put it on one of her breasts. Lawrence's breath hitched and Holo had won the tongue war. Soon after, she broke the kiss for air. Lawrence and Holo were both breathing hard. It was more intense than either one would have thought. Lawrence noticed Holo's breasts rising up and down with her chest. His pants suddenly became tighter. Even though Holo's breasts were covered, Lawrence was still aroused by the thought of them. Holo noticed he was staring, so she decided to snap him from his trance.

"Hey Lawrence! We should be getting ready to leave." Holo said with annoyance in her voice.

"What-huh? I thought you wanted to do, you know, that." Lawrence stumbled over his words. He really wanted to continue. He wanted to learn everything about Holo's body.

"I've changed my mind. I can wait for a little while longer. We need to leave soon. Twould' be best if we got an early start." Holo reasoned. She wanted to continue as well, but the eerie feeling kept her from doing so. She just didn't want to remain in that village any longer than needed.

"Well I guess I can't force you. Oh well, maybe next time. I will pack our stuff." Lawrence decided it was best to accept Holo's decision. "She has her reasons." He thought.

Lawrence started to pack their stuff into their bags. Holo put her goat hair waist band, and hood on. All that was left to do was retrieve the wagon, and Lawrence's trusty steed.

Lawrence walked down the stairs of the inn with Holo in tow. She remained quiet as Lawrence spoke to the inn keeper, as always. The inn keeper was an old, but jolly man.

"It turns out my companion here is anxious to get back to her home town, so we have to cut our stay short. I'll be taking my horse from your stable now." Lawrence explained.

"Ohohoho! It's quite alright! I understand about wanting to go home. Why, when I was a wee lad, I got lost in the woods after an argument with my parents. After the first day out, I was pissn' my pants and balling my eyes out. Hahaha! Now you go get your horse, and get this fine young lady home ya' hear." The old man said loudly. He was one of the nicer inn keepers Lawrence came to know.

"That's quite a story, and thank you. Here's for your troubles." Lawrence said, as he took out a Trenni silver coin and placed it on the counter.

The old mans mouth was agape. No one was ever so generous as to give a Trenni. The old man was genuinely confused. " Mr. Lawrence you must be mistaken. I don't think you meant to give me a Trenni." The old man said, still shocked.

"On the contrary. I have found something way more valuable than any coin. So I'm being a little more generous as of late." Lawrence said as he took a look at Holo. He could tell she was smiling under her hood.

"Lawrence, you have found true happiness. I hope you have a safe journey, and many thanks for the generous donation. Many men would kill to have what you do." The old man said happily.

The inn keeper shooed Lawrence and Holo out, and to the stable. There, Lawrence found his horse and wagon. Lawrence placed his and Holo's belongings in the back of the wagon. He then retrieved his horse, and attached the wagon straps to its saddle. Everything was ready to go, so Lawrence helped Holo get onto the wagon seat. He did the same, and with one flick of the reins, they were off. Lawrence waved goodbye to the inn keeper, and he waved back. Holo and Lawrence were on the road again, for some odd reason that Holo wouldn't tell him.

"Why did you want to leave so soon, Holo?" Lawrence asked. He looked over saw that Holo had a look of discomfort on her face. Lawrence thought that it was just her being in heat.

"No reason. Tis' like you said. I am anxious to see my home." Holo lied, and Lawrence could tell, but he decided not to pry.

Once the couple made it out of the village, they noticed that there was only one path. That path led into the woods. The woods are a dangerous place for anyone who decides to travel in with out a clue. The woods can be filled with rogues, assassins, mercenaries, and thieves. The wild life could be dangerous as well. There are wolves, coyotes, bears, and in some cases mountain lions.

Lawrence wasn't too fond of the idea of entering the woods, but he consulted Holo on it. "Holo, do you think we should enter?" Lawrence asked.

Holo pulled off her hood and cupped her ears. She was listening for any possible danger. She put her hood back on, then started sniffing the air. Once she was done, she looked to Lawrence. "Tis' safe for now, I believe. You may want to enter with caution though. My senses aren't always correct." Holo said calmly.

"I have faith that they are. So we will enter." Lawrence completely trusted Holo. With one snap of the reins they were moving again.

Lawrence went a bit faster than usual while in the woods. He didn't want to be in there longer than he had to. He requested that Holo keep her ears out so she could sense any incoming danger. Every once in a while her ears would twitch, she would reassure Lawrence that it was just a bird, or squirrel.

"So it seems we are in the clear then. That's good, I didn't really feel like dealing with any danger today." Lawrence said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it seems that way, maybe we had-," Holo's ears twitched. She sniffed a few times then went on high alert." Lawrence! Get down!" Holo yelled, just as a wolf jumped out of the shrubbery at Lawrence. He managed to duck in time, thanks to Holo.

Holo pulled Lawrence's head down as another wolf came at him from behind the wagon. She saved him twice now. Lawrence was still stunned from what just happened. It seemed as if the wolves were specifically targeting him. He was snapped from his shocked state by Holo. She was screaming at him.

"Lawrence! Run! I'll hold them off!" Holo was frantic. She made a miscalculation; she was wrong about the village not being safe.

Lawrence hopped off the wagon. "No! I won't leave you here alone!" Lawrence exclaimed as he drew his knife. He took a defensive stance.

Three more wolves appeared from the shrubs and surrounded Lawrence. The two other wolves were making sure Holo didn't interfere.

"Lawrence! Be careful!" Holo yelled from her spot on the wagon. The two wolves had her trapped. They would growl or snarl ever time she made a move to get off the wagon.
Lawrence was having trouble as well. The three wolves were cornering him. He only realized this when his back hit against a big oak tree. He was trapped and all he had was his knife. Lawrence was deep into thought on how to escape this predicament unharmed.

While Lawrence was thinking, one of the wolves jumped at him. Lawrence snapped out of his thoughts in time, so that his neck wasn't bit. The wolf did get his arm though, and it didn't show any sign of letting go. Unfortunately, it was the arm with the knife in hand.

The wolf kept biting down, shooting pain through Lawrence's body. He could feel the blood running down his arm. Lawrence had to do something, and quick. So Lawrence did the only thing he could do. He started punching the wolf with his free hand. This only angered the wolf, so it started shaking it's head back in forth, and the other wolf latched on to Lawrence's free arm. Lawrence was now defenseless. The third wolf noticed and went straight for Lawrence's neck. Blood gushed out as the wolf bit down. Lawrence couldn't scream, he couldn't move, this was it.

Once Lawrence stopped struggling, the wolf let go of his neck. Lawrence's clothes were soaked in blood. A shade of red unfamiliar to the former merchant. He heard one of the wolves howl and the others followed suit. Then he heard them all run off.

Holo saw Lawrence lying there, mangled and bloody. She couldn't help herself, she jumped off the wagon and went to Lawrence's side. Only when she got there did she see how severe it was. His arms and neck were chewed up, and he was barely breathing.

"Lawrence! Stay with me! Don't die!" Holo was holding Lawrence in her arms. She started to cry. She thought she was too late, until she heard Lawrence whisper into her ear.

"Go home...Holo. I'm sorry, but I can't keep my promise. I've lost too much...blood. I won't make it back to the village." Lawrence said quietly. A normal human would've had trouble hearing him, but the wise wolf's ears were too keen, and she heard every word. She hated every single one.

"Damn you Kraft! You don't have permission to die yet!" It suddenly hit Holo that she used Lawrence's first name. She has truly fallen in love with him. So much so, that the choice she makes will be hard.

Lawrence gave Holo a weak smile. "I can't hold on anymore...Holo. You...were the best thing to...ever happen to me. I will always cherish the time I spent...with you. I love you, Holo." Lawrence's body went limp in Holo's arms.

"No! I won't let you die!" Holo bit her tongue and kissed Lawrence. Her blood flowed into his mouth. A drop of blood escaped the corner of her lips. She broke the kiss when she heard Lawrence swallow. "This is going to be painful Lawrence. You need to bear with it though. Once you wake, you will be like me." Holo said softly.

Lawrence's expression was soft and calm at first, but when the blood started to take affect, a burning sound could be heard, and Lawrence started screaming and flailing. His wounds were being forcefully healed. Holo could only look on and shed tears, as her beloved Lawrence went through this torture. She hoped there was a way to lighten the pain, but sadly, there was not.

Lawrence would stop flailing for short periods of time, then pain would shoot through him and he would start back up again. This went on for a few hours. It was getting dark so Holo made a fire. She took her clothes off and ate some wheat from her neck pouch. She turned into her gigantic wolf form, just in case anything else wanted a piece of Lawrence. After about midnight Holo fell asleep.

***Holo's Dream***

"Why Holo? Why?" The saddened white wolf spoke softly. It was sitting, and just staring down at Holo.

"I'm sorry Lawrence. I didn't have a choice. It was either let you die, or turn you into that." Holo gave her rebuttal. She was genuinely sorry for what happened.

"You should be. Now its time to wake up, and atone for what you've done." Lawrence said as he disappeared.

"This was a short dream." Holo said as she closed her eyes.

***Dream end***

Holo opened her eyes. What she saw surprised her. In her face, was the very same wolf, she just talked to in her dream. This one looked less serious though.

"Good morning, Holo. Did you sleep well?" Lawrence asked. He cocked his head as if he were a puppy.

"I would've slept better if I didn't have to worry about you, fool. Anyways, do you feel normal. Well, as normal as normal between us gets?" Holo asked as she got up and stretched. Her tail went straight into the air and her head was down. After her stretch she let out a yawn.

"Yes, I feel fine. It may take a little getting used to the paws and four legs." Lawrence said happily. He cocked his head again in that goofy way. Holo thought it was cute.

"Well then, today we help you get acquainted with all your features." Holo said happily as well.

Today was going to be a fun day for the couple. Both just happy to be with one another. Lawrence held no grudge, and Holo has no regrets. That's how they hope it will stay.
