Alright my readers, it's time to see if Blackheart accepted the Beast Blood or not! And a little heads up, this chapter will be a bit gruesome. Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 10

"Hey," Aela's voice said, "Wake up."

Blackheart's eyes open, but everything was all blurry. Once his eyes were fixed, he got up and saw Aela with a torch in her hands. From the looks of it, it was already night.

"Ugh," Blackheart moaned, "What happen? Where am I?"

Aela said "We are near Gallows Rock. You have been passed out for almost a day since you drank my blood."

"I have been out a whole day?!" Blackheart cried, "Am I…"

Before he finished, Aela said "I…I don't know what to say."

"Aela," Blackheart said, "Why are you trying to say?"

Aela replied "Your body…it…it…"

Worried, Blackheart looked at his body, but he was normal as it is. He looked at Aela and said "What? What is it?"

Aela replied "You body didn't accept the Beast Blood."

There was a moment of silence when Blackheart simply said "What are you talking about?"

Aela replied "I mean you didn't transform to a werewolf for the first time. When Vilkas first transform, he was a bit more aggressive. But you, you just passed out. It was if your body rejected this blessing."

"Are you kidding?" Blackheart said, "Must be my mutation that is preventing it then."

"What did you say?" Aela asked.

Blackheart replied "Nothing. Anyways, why are we here?"

"That is not a problem," Aela said as she threw a large sac to him, "We have brought you extra equipment for you. Now hurry up and get ready."

As Blackheart was putting on his new Iron Armor, he whispered "Still a bitch as usual."

"I hear that," Aela said, "Besides having the powers of a werewolf, all my senses have also enhanced. And while in my werewolf form, I have complete control over it."

"Complete control?" Blackheart asked in a worried way, "So…you heard my bitch comment to you when you were…"

"Oh yeah," Aela angrily replied.

"Right," Blackheart said as he took out a Steel Sword, "And we are here because?"

Aela smiled and said "We are going to kill every werewolf hunters here."

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa," Blackheart said, "Killed them? Why would we do that?"

Aela replied "Blackheart, these are The Silver Hand. They have been killing off some members of our family in the past and skinning the pelts of fallen werewolves as their trophies. That is why we are here, to hit them hard."

Unsure, Blackheart said "Don't think that's a good idea."

"Come on, you whelp," Aela said as she ran off into the woods.

Blackheart sighed and said "This is going to end badly, I know it."

He then started to chase after here. After a while, he met up with her and Skjor near the front of Gallows Rock. From the looks of it, the two Companion members were already beginning their fight. As Blackheart approached the front gate, an arrow flew right past his face and hit the wall behind him. As Blackheart tried to get his weapon, he realized he left all of his equipment back home. Regretting his decision, he got a nearby shield and defended himself from the flying arrow.

Aela then shouted "Blackheart, go into their fort and kill their leader!"

Not having much of a choice, Blackheart charged into the fort to find the leader. Once he entered he found a gate closed to prevent anyone from entering. Luckily, Blackheart found the chain in the wall and proceed through the stairs. When he entered a room, he encountered three Silver Hand ready to kill him. Gripping his sword, Blackheart manages to dodge, evade and manages to kill two of the Silver Hand while the other one had a Silver Greatsword swinging at him. As the Silver Hand brought up their sword, Blackheart quickly grabbed a Silver Sword near him, crossed his blades and blocks the Greatsword. As Blackheart twirled the blade, he brought his left arm back, swung his sword and decapitates their head off.

"Should have stayed home when I had the chance," Blackheart said as he grips his two swords, "This is going to be a long night."

After many Silver Hand encounters and several traps, Blackheart made it to the leader's hold up. When he entered, not only he found the leader, but also three more Silver Hand members.

"Well," the leader said, "It appears that one of the dogs has managed to barge in. Not matter, we will kill you then skin your pelt."

"Not going to happen," Blackheart said, "The only people who are going to die is all of you."

As the leader gives the signal, all five hunters charge at Blackheart with their swords at hand. Blackheart grips his swords and began to swing them at the three hunters. After intense minutes went by, it was only Blackheart and the leader alone. The leader then took out his Silver Battle Axe. The leader brought his axe to the side and swung it horizontal towards Blackheart, but he manages to block it with his two swords.

After a few parries, as the leader was ready to swing again, Blackheart shouted "FUS!"

The force that Blackheart released was enough to lose the leader's balance. Seizing an opportunity, Blackheart kicked the bandit in the knee to knock him to the floor, crossed his swords to the guy's neck, and in one motion, cuts the bandit's head off.

As Blackheart stood there breathing heavily, he said "That's enough for me today. Let's see how the others are doing."

He then proceeds down the hallway and found a door with a wooden plank across. When Blackheart removes the plank and opens the door, he made his way to the entrance and left the Fort. When Blackheart left the Fort, he saw that the sun was barely coming out.

Blackheart inhaled some air and said "Alright you guys, the leader is dead and now we can go home."

But to Blackheart's surprise, the place was dead silent.

"Aela?" Blackheart said, "Aela, you around here? Old man, where are you?"

To Blackheart's surprise, he heard crying just near him. When he turned and walked towards the source of the crying, he was shocked. He saw Aela on her knees, in front of Skjor with blood flowing out of his chest.

"Skjor," Aela cried, "You idiot, I knew we should of brought more Shield Brothers."

"Aela," Blackheart said, "I'm sorry."

She looked at him with rage in her eyes and yelled "I don't want your pity! I want you to inform everyone what has happen here!"

As she got up, Blackheart asked "And where are you going?"

Aela replied "A few of those Silver Hands left the Fort after they killed Skjor. I am going to avenge his death!"

Before she was going to leave, Blackheart held on to one of her arms and said "There is no way I am letting you go by yourself. You need help."

"No I don't," Aela said as she smacked Blackheart's hand off, "Just go."

Irritated, Blackheart said "I am not letting you go. The old man…"

Before he was going to finish, Aela used her super strength and punched Blackheart across his face that sends him flying away from her.

"You have no idea what I am going through!" Aela screamed, "Skjor was like a father to me! He taught me how to control my Beast Blood and my powers! If I die, then I will see him in the Hunting Grounds!"

And with that, Aela turned her back and rushed off into the distance, disappearing in sight. As Blackheart got up, he said "Great. Now I have to stop the girl who hates me before she kills herself. Just hope she doesn't kill me in the process."

As he looks around, he said "And now I have absolutely no idea where to look or how to find here. God damn it! I knew I should have brought my fucking stuff!"

After a moment of silence, Blackheart said "Think! Think! Think! How can I find someone if…"

He stopped mid-sentence as he smell something sweet in the air. The scent made Blackheart shiver through his body and made his spine crawl.

"What is that sweet smell?" Blackheart asked as he started to follow the smell.

Going completely by instinct, Blackheart followed the scent to an unknown source. After an hour, Blackheart arrived at an abandon prison. As he looks around, he heard a loud roar from within the prison. Realizing that it might be Aela in her werewolf form, he marched into the prison to find her. Once he entered the prison and made his way through the hallways, he found Aela naked in her human form trapped inside a holding cell. As five of the Silver Hand members laughed, Blackheart silently sneaked near them.

He heard one of them saying "What should we do with her?"

Another one said "Since we weaken her, we can always have fun with her. What do you think?"

"Are you suggesting we screw this beastly whore?" Another said, "No, we kill this bitch."

Before Blackheart was going in for the kill, one of them look around and said "Hey, where is Dulvan?"

All of a sudden, there was a powerful blow being delivered to Blackheart side of the face that caused him to fall down the stairs. When he turned to see who hit him, he saw a 6'-5" Orc walking towards him. Everyone looks at Blackheart and was wondering who was he.

As that moment, Aela screamed "Blackheart, you fucking idiot! Why are you here?!"

"Ah," the last one said, "He's with you? Well no matter. Dulvan, take him out."

"With pleasure," Dulvan said.

Blackheart took out his swords and said "Bring it, freak."

He then swung his swords at Dulvan, but he evaded Blackheart's attack and knee kicked him in the stomach. The impact that Blackheart received knocked the wind out of him and made him drop his sword. Blackheart was surprised on how strong this Orc was. However, Blackheart sends a powerful uppercut to Dulvan's chin only to send him a few steps back. Dulvan then took out two Silver War Axes and began to swing them at Blackheart.

As Blackheart was dodging Dulvan's attack, Aela yelled "Just get out of here! Save yourself!"

Blackheart replied "I am not leaving you!"

Suddenly, there was a short pain in Blackheart's back that made him grunt. And arrow from one of the Silver Hand was shot into Blackheart's left shoulder. Distracted by the pain, Blackheart was wide open for an attack. Dulvan brought up his left hand and brought his axe to Blackheart's right shoulder, penetrating the armor and into his flesh. Even though Blackheart has been through worse pain, this feeling he is receiving from the arrow and axe was extremely painful. Dulvan leaves his axe in Blackheart's shoulder and then kicks Blackheart in the chest that sends his to the ground.

As Dulvan regroups with his companions, he said to them "After we kill him, what are we going to do with the bitch?"

One of them replied "You can do whatever you want with her."

Dulvan smiled and said "With pleasure."

As he opens the gate, Blackheart, struggling to get up with blood flowing from his shoulder, yelled "Get away from her!"

Dulvan laughed and said "What can you do?"

Reaching down his pants, Blackheart saw this and said "Get the fuck away from here!"

Dulvan then looks at him and said "There is nothing you can do."

In rage, Blackheart then cried "GET…AWAY…FROM…HER!"

All of a sudden, Blackheart's eyes turned from black to red predator-like. His arms grew longer, his legs begin to arch a certain way whiles his muscles grew bigger. Black fur started to grow all over his body and his teeth grew sharp as fangs. However, instead having a hunchback and a boney figure like a normal werewolf, Blackheart was standing up straight that made him stand over 8 feet tall and his figure was more built than any other werewolf. This surprised Aela a lot, she thought his body rejected the Beast Blood yet Blackheart changed into an entirely new form of a werewolf. The arrow and the axe that were on him fell to the floor and his wounds were healed.

As Blackheart roared at the Silver Hand, they drew out their weapons at him. When Blackheart looks at Dulvan, Blackheart charge towards him and pierced his claws into Dulvan's chest, killing him instantly. Once Dulvan fell dead, the five remaining Silver Hand charged at Blackheart with their Silver Swords at hand. With a growl, Blackheart charged at the Silver Hand and jumps right over them. With one swipe, Blackheart used his claws and crushed two Silver Hand's heads. As one of them swung their swords, Blackheart caught their arm and ripped it out of their socket. When they cried in pain, Blackheart swung his claws, ripping the hunter's face right off. Terrified by the turn of events, the remaining two Silver Hands began to run for their lives. But Blackheart wasn't done yet. With intense speed, Blackheart caught up with one of them and dug his fangs in the hunter's head and crushed it in his mouth. Before the last one reached for the door, Blackheart grabbed them and pulled them towards him. As the Silver Hand screamed, Blackheart thrust his claws into the hunter's back, picks him up and rips the hunter's body, separating their upper body from his lower body. As Blackheart drops the hunter, leaving them with their guts and organs all over the floor, he made his way to Aela's cell where she is standing naked. Blackheart stood on all fours as he approached her. He gently places his forehead to hers as she gently runs her hands on Blackheart's wolf-like face. Just as the two were staring into each other's eyes, Blackheart returned to his human form. Aela observed his wounds just to see that they were already healed.

After Blackheart revert back to his human form, Aela slapped him across his face and said "What were you thinking?! You could of gotten killed!"

In rage, Blackheart said "You are welcome for saving your life!"

"I am a proud hunter!" Aela cried, "Skjor trained me to become to best hunter! He was like a father to me!"

"Aela," Blackheart said.

Aela then said "You have no idea how it's like to lose someone who was like a father die in front of you!"

Blackheart looked down and said "You're wrong."

As Aela stood there in silence, Blackheart said "My father sacrificed his life to save me. When the man who supposedly died with my father was alive, I was fucking pissed off. After I killed that man, I carried the guilt of my father's death. Since he died, I felt like it was my fault that he died. If I wish I could of done more, he would be alive today."

He then looks at her and said "I understand that your pain and your revenge for these Silver Hands, but are going down a path were you can't return to. I had endured a lot of pain before I realized that it was affecting my life."

There was a moment of silence when Aela said "What do you expect me to do?"

Blackheart replied "Just let go of your feelings, Aela."

As Aela grip her fist, Blackheart said "Let go of your feelings before they damage your life."

At that instant, tears were flowing down her face. When Blackheart placed her hands on her shoulder, Aela placed her head in his chest. As Blackheart wrapped his arms around her head, Aela was crying and breaking down in tears. As Blackheart placed his head on hers, he smelled the familiar scent he smelled earlier on Aela's hair. After a few minutes, Aela finished her sadden moment.

"Better?" Blackheart asked.

Aela replied "Not that much."

Blackheart then said "Don't worry, Aela. I promise to stand by your side. You are going to go through this, you're stronger than this."

Aela said "I thought I was a bitch to you?"

Blackheart replied "That is true, but when it comes to friends, I care for them no matter how bitchy they are."

Aela smiled and said "You sure feel hard down there."

Confused, Blackheart said "What are you talking about?"

When the two parted and Aela looks at Blackheart body, he then looks and begins to panic. He was COMPLETELY NAKED!

"What the fuck!" Blackheart yelled, "What the fuck happen to my clothes?!"

As he was looking around for spare clothes, Aela laughed and said "When we transform into werewolves, our clothes gets torn up. That's why we carry spares."

When she grabbed a sac bag that she dropped across the room and started dressing, there was one thing was confusing her. How was Blackheart able to transform now and what this new werewolf transformation?

"Blackheart," Aela said, "How are you able to transform now?"

As Blackheart removed the clothes from Dulvan, he said "Beats me. I have no idea how I did that."

"But I thought you body rejected the Beast Blood," Aela said, "Instead, you changed into an entirely new form of a werewolf."

Blackheart said "Maybe it didn't reject it. Instead, it must have enhanced it."

"What do you mean?" Aela said.

"I have what my people call a mutation," Blackheart said, "You see, my body is contaminate with radiation and now, well you are looking at it. I think the Beast Blood combine with my mutation must have enhanced the werewolf powers."

Once he put on the clothes, Aela said "Thank you."

Blackheart looked at her and said "For what?"

Aela said "For caring for me. Even though I was hard on you, you still care."

"And I always will," Blackheart said, "You are important to me and a good friend. Just need to lower that bitchy attitude."

Aela smiled and said "Not going to happen, but thank you."

As Aela hugs him, Blackheart moaned as he smelled the same sweet smell on her again.

"Blackheart?" Aela asked, "What is wrong?"

Blackheart replied "You smell really nice."

When the two separate, Aela sniffed and said "I smell like sweat and crap. Why would you say…"

Realizing what he meant, Aela said "It's your werewolf instincts. Your sense of smell enhance along with your new found powers."

"And this is important because?" Blackheart asked.

Aela replied "Let me put it this way, right now, you are a horny dog and when you smelled my scent, you want me badly."

"Aw shit," Blackheart said, "That means that you body is releasing hormones. Thanks to my super smell…damn, that smells so good."

"Odd," Aela said, "When Farkas and Vilkas receive this gift was when they were young. They were going through the same thing you are going through."

She then realizes and said "How old are you?"

Blackheart replied "19."

"No wonder," Aela said, "Since you are young and at that age, you Beast Blood is boiling right now. No wonder you were hard down there."

Blackheart blushed and said "Don't even talk about this."

Aela smiled and said "What? I am surprised how long you are for someone your age."

Blushing even more, Blackheart said "Can we go home now? I think Lyd is worried sick of me."

Aela laughed and said "Fine, let's go home."


After a hard day and recovering Skjor's body, Blackheart and Aela returned to Whiterun. When Blackheart arrived at his house, he turned to Aela and said "I'll see you later. Be sure to tell everyone what happen."

"I will," Aela said, "And thank you for being there."

Before she left, she gives Blackheart a quick kiss in the lips, grabbed the cart that had Skjor's body in it and heads back to Jorrvaskr. As Blackheart entered his home, Lydia rushed up to him and said "Where have you been?! I was worried about you!"

Trying to change the subject, Blackheart said "Aw, you were worried about me?"

"Don't change the subject. Where were you?" she asked as she smelled him, "And why do you smell like a wet dog?"

Hesitated, Blackheart said "I was…working out."

"He's lying," Mephala said.

Blackheart saw his Dragon Gauntlet on a chair near the fire place and said "Why are you here?"

Lydia replied "She was starting to annoy me. I was about to throw her into the fire until you came."

"No you weren't," Mephala said, "You just want to threaten me. So Blackheart, where were you?"

Blackheart replied "Just out on a job."

Lydia said "Then why do you smell like a wet dog?"

There was a moment of silence when Mephala said "You have the Beast Blood in you?"

Blackheart replied "Yes I do."

"What?!" Lydia yelled, "You have the Beast Blood in you?!"

"Yeah," Blackheart said, "It happened so fast. So yeah, I got to transform into a werewolf."

"Well," Lydia said, "Are you alright at least?"

"A bit," Blackheart said.

Seeing something wrong, Lydia said "What happen? When you first heard about this, you were exciting."

Blackheart replied "It's Aela. I am worried about her. One of the members of The Circle died. She looked up to him like a father figure."

Mephala said "That woman who hated you the first day? Why worry about her?"

Blackheart replied "I worry about my friends. No matter how much of an asshole they are, they are still my friends."

There was a moment of silence when Lydia said "So now what? Now that you have the Beast Blood in you, what are you going to do?"

Blackheart replied "What I do best. Let me get my gear and head on up to see the old man."

When he walked passed Lydia, he smelled her scent and let out a quiet moan.

"Damn it!" Blackheart thought, "This super smell is going to drive me crazy!"

When he went into his room, Lydia said "What is wrong with him?"

"He is becoming a horny dog right now," Mephala said, "Since he is young and is in that age, his animal instinct is kicking in. So I watch out if I were you."

Lydia shook her head and said "Great, not only I have to deal with an annoying Daedra, but also a horny werewolf Thane. This sucks."

Blackheart said "I heard that!"

I know some of you were expecting Blackheart to transform into a Yao Guai version of a werewolf, but I preferred this version of a werewolf a lot better than a Yao Guai. I mean, I had the whole Yao Guai thing going, but I feel that the Yao Guai transformation is perfect for him. Instead, I made his werewolf transformation more powerful and the form more body built. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And as always, please review!
