So I changed the background on my computer screen to a picture of the lovely Kris Holden Reid AKA Mr. Wolf Man himself. The picture is from Season 1 episode 12 where Dyson is in the bath tub, oh yes, very nice. So it has become my inspiration, everytime I don't want to write, I look at the picture and I am happy again haha! Anywho, here is chapter 4, thank you all so much for the reviews, I love you all very much for faithfully reading these stories. Happy Reading!

Chapter 4

Dyson sat up in the bed, swinging his legs over the edge and gritting his teeth against the pain. He grabbed the IV in his hand and slid it out dropping it to the floor. The doctor had already removed the larger needle in his arm. Good thing because it would have come right out to. He grabbed the railing on the side of the bed and pulled himself up, very slowly. It probably wasn't a great idea to be doing this, at all, but he needed to get out of here. He and Kenzi had the whole hospital thing in common, the places freaked them out. He used his free hand to press against his side where most of his pain was coming from as he slowly moved across the room, being extremely careful not to wake Kenzi. She would murder him. He turned the door knob and looked out; the two nurses were standing around fooling with computers and stuff. Dyson knew he wouldn't get past them in this state. His hands were shaky and he wanted to shoot himself in the foot for being that weak, but instead he put his back against the wall and stripped off the white bandages. He looked down at the injuries sewed together and dark purple and he shook his head. He growled low in his throat as he got ready to change. This was going to hurt like a bitch and he might rip out some stitches in the process, but he couldn't stay here anymore. He shook his head and growled again shoving the change out of his core and through his entire body. The wolf seemed to whine at the thought of coming out, obviously not wanting to suffer further. Dyson didn't care, he pushed harder on the change and a growl ripped from his chest as he took his natural form.

Kenzi's eyes shot open at the sound of a vicious growl. She leapt up from the chair stumbling and falling over herself as she tried desperately to gain her footing. She spotted the source of the growl.

"Dyson!" she screamed at the wolf standing next to the door. She looked to the floor where the bandages where laying and she ground her teeth. Dumbass, what the hell was wrong with him? Kenzi pointed to the bed.

"Get your furry ass back in that bed right now!" she yelled. The wolf bared its teeth and growled as it shoved the door open with its nose. Kenzi stepped back and frowned, that hurt. Dyson had growled at her.

"Dyson." She said softly holding up her hands. She saw blood running down the wolf's leg and dripping onto the floor beneath him.

"Dyson you're hurt, please, just let us take care of you." Kenzi begged. The nurses had stopped what they were doing and they were staring, mouths agape at the wolf standing before them. The wolf looked at her and she could have sworn she heard a soft whine and then the wolf took off, running fast through the door.

"Dyson!" Kenzi screamed and ran behind him, no match for his speed, even with the obvious limp he carried. She followed him around the side of the house and toward the gate, waving her hands.

"Dyson stop!" she yelled as her heart pounded in her chest. She cursed the gate for having motion sensors on that side as it slowly opened. The wolf sped through it and crossed the road heading straight into the wooded area across the street from the compound.

"Dyson please!" Kenzi begged as she flew out the gate and across the road. She got to the edge of the woods and stopped, skidding to a halt. She knew he was gone, there was no way she would catch him.

"Shit!" she screamed.

"God damn it Dyson!" she yelled into the woods.

"You're so damn hard headed!" she continued to yell into the woods, knowing he was long gone. Tears sprang to her eyes and she didn't know why. Maybe it was the fact that Dyson had growled at her, maybe it was the fact that he was injured and bleeding again, or maybe she was hurt because he had run from her, instead of letting her help him. She understood not wanting to be in a hospital, she hated them too, but he had run from her. Not just the hospital, her too. She turned on her heel and walked back across the road.

"Don't come running back to my bed next time you feel lonely! Stupid wolf." Kenzi screamed as tears fell down her cheeks. She shoved them away angrily and stomped back to the lab, jerking out her phone and dialing Bo.

It killed Dyson to stand in the woods and watch Kenzi cry and yell after him. He truly was an idiot, this he knew, but staying there was so much more than he could do. He knew though that he was running from more than the lab. He was running from Kenzi too, all those feelings and emotions. He'd growled at her, what the hell was wrong with him. He knew his wolf acted more on instinct than he was able to control, and she had yelled, the wolf took it as a threat and growled. He'd scared her, what a shitty move. He leaned his head down and licked the wound on his front leg, tasting his own blood. He was right; he'd ripped the stitches from his arm and side. He sat back on his haunches and licked the wound his side gently, letting out soft whines as he did. Once he was finished he turned and ran deeper into the woods. He'd stay out for a few days and then head back in when his wounds were closing up on their own. He hopped over a large fallen tree and trotted away.

"He is such a dick!" Kenzi growled and ground her teeth together. Bo, Lauren, and Hale had shown up minutes after Dyson had made a run for it. The nurses were cleaning the room as they all sat out in the lobby type area talking. Hale chuckled and nodded to Kenzi.

"That he is. Sometimes, not all the time though." Hale corrected her. Kenzi sighed and tossed her hands in the air and slumped back in her chair.

"I'm sorry guys; I should have like tackled him or something." Kenzi said leaning forward and dropping her hands in her palms.

"Naw, Kenzi don't pretend you could stop him." Hale said and chuckled. He was right though, even if Kenzi had grabbed him or tackled him, he probably would have found his way out of it and ran off. She nodded and looked up to Lauren.

"What do you think is going to happen to him?" Kenzi asked. Lauren sighed and shook her head.

"Honestly Kenzi I don't know. He's a wolf, it's what they do, they run off and lick their wounds alone. He can only fight his nature to an extent before he gives into it. Even if Dyson knows it's a stupid move, the wolf inside him wants it badly and usually the Fae side wins. His wounds are bad, he's been here for only a day and last I checked he still needed at least 3 days of bed rest before I would even consider letting him walk. And judging by that," she pointed to the blood on the floor by the door, "He ripped out some of his stitches." She said looking to Kenzi.

"So what do we do now?" Bo asked looking to Lauren.

"If I can get close enough to him I can siren his ass back to the lab." Hale said. Kenzi shook her head that would never happen.

"Dyson knows your scent, and he knows what you would do. He'd smell you before you even got close and he'd be gone." Kenzi said. Lauren nodded with the words.

"She's right." Bo said.

"Do we just wait for him to come back then?" Hale asked shrugging.

"I don't know Hale, and I'm trying to be completely honest with you all. Dyson's wounds aren't something to be played with, and he could very well die out there." Lauren said frowning and crossing her arms. Kenzi's heart sank to her stomach; the thought of Dyson dying alone in the woods was a lot to grasp.

"Where would he even go, if we wanted to look for him, where would he be?" Bo asked shrugging her shoulders and looking to Hale. Then Kenzi remembered something.

"This is my favorite place, out of all this crap, this place is the best." Dyson said taking Kenzi's arm and helping her over the log as they approached the small lake. It was smack dab in the middle of the woods surrounded by huge flowing trees and beautiful flowers.

"Wow, it's amazing." Kenzi said to him as he led her to the edge.

"And the best part is the water. It's always cool. Even in the heat of summer." He smiled and kicked his boots off, rolling up his pants slightly he stepped into the edge of the water. Kenzi chuckled and took off her shoes and stepped in next to him.

"Very nice." She smiled. They stared at each other a long while and then Kenzi turned her face away, fearing that if she stared any long, she would kiss him.

"Just friends." She said with a soft smile.

"Just friends." He repeated.

"I know where he is going." She said nearly falling from the chair. They all looked at her quickly.

"There's this lake, like right in the middle of those woods, he says it's his favorite spot, if I were a wolf and I was going to go lick myself I'd defiantly go somewhere I liked." Kenzi said.

"I've never even heard of a lake in those woods." Hale said frowning. Probably because Dyson doesn't cuddle with you, Kenzi wanted to say but she held her tongue.

"Well I have, load me up with supplies Doc; I'm going to get wolf man." Kenzi said standing up. They all looked at her wide eyed.

"I don't think that is a good idea." Bo said frowning.

"And why not?" Kenzi asked planting her hands on her hips.

"Well first of all, heels aren't wood friendly." Hale said pointing to her large shoes.

"I have a pair of sneakers, for your information. Plus, I'm the only one who knows how to get there, not to mention, I'm the only human besides the doctor. And no offense but you and Dyson aren't exactly on best friend terms Doc. He knows Bo will try to succubus him and he knows Hale will try to siren him. He'll run before any of you get close to him. I'm a human; he knows I can't do anything to him. Just let me go, if we want to get him back here without a body bag, then I'm the best chance we have." Kenzi said. She fought the urge to stomp her foot as she finished speaking. Bo looked to Lauren and then to Hale, they looked from one to the other wearily and then Bo nodded.

"Alright, fine. How far is the lake?" Bo asked.

"Pretty far in there, I'm not one for walking, but Dyson convinced me and it took us half the day to get there and by the time we got back to his vehicle it was dark, but I also walked really slow and complained a lot, so I figure if I'm not doing so much of that then if I leave now I could get to him by dark." Kenzi said. Bo frowned, not liking the idea of Kenzi by herself in the woods at night, dangerous indeed. But she knew Dyson was out there, and if he heard Kenzi scream, injuries or not, he'd be at the throat of the attacker in less than 5 minutes.

"Alright, come one Kenzi, I'll get some stuff together for you just in case he's bad off. Also, do you think you can carry a sleeping bag? I don't know if you can find your way out of there at night. Dyson might help in his wolf, but human form he won't be much help considering you might have to help him walk." Lauren said. Kenzi nodded to her, "Yeah, I can." She said.

"And just take those clothes of his that I brought. He'll need them." Hale said. Kenzi nodded as she followed Lauren into the lab to get the things. She didn't regret her decision to go after Dyson. Because when she found him, she was going to beat his ass.
