Serana rushed over to Skylar's side and dropped down to her knees as she tried to reach for Skylar's frantic hands, every time she reached for her Skylar only pulled away or tried to shove Serana away. Serana couldn't get close to her.
Skylar was damaging her own neck with her nails. Serana held her breath as her nose picked up on the little tears of blood that were slowly running down Skylar's skin.
Skylar's eyes were screwed shut and she appeared to be in a state of panic, nothing Serana did seemed to calm the girl. It was like she was completely detached from reality and trapped in her own mind.
"Skylar! SKYLAR! STOP!" Serana cried after she finally caught hold of the frantic girl's wrists and pinned them to the ground. "Skylar Look at me!" Serana basically begged as Skylar tried to push the Vampire away. What was wrong with her!? Serana had to position herself so she was straddling Skylar's hips so she couldn't get up and run away. She also needed to use her own weight to hold Skylar's arms down as she thrashed about under her. Since when was Skylar this strong!? Usually Serana could hold down Skylar's entire body by placing only one of her hands on her chest. But now Serana feared that Skylar could throw her off and run away.
"Skylar!" Serana screamed as she finally released Skylar's wrists to grab either side of the smaller woman's face. "Stop! Look at me!" She begged when she felt the little Werewolf's hands against her chest, trying to push her away. "You're ok now. Stop!" She struggled to speak as the pressure from the other woman's hands only grew as she tried to shove the vampire off of her. "SKYLAR! IT'S ME! SERANA!" Serana cried with wide eyes when she realized that Skylar was starting to change into the werewolf.
Before Serana even knew what was going on she was on her back with a brown, almost red werewolf pinning her down.
A quick frightened glance around told Serana that no one was around, she was both relieved and scared at the same time. Relieved because no one could see Skylar in her current state and didn't see her change, and scared because… Skylar had the power to rip Serana limp from limb… Serana didn't even know if she would try to defend herself… This was Skylar… She wouldn't hurt her… Would she?
The look in Skylar's eyes was so different… This was not Skylar at all… This was something else! She couldn't see Skylar in those eyes, The look in those eyes didn't have any love in them. When Skylar looked at Serana there was always a twinkle, there was no twinkly. Only fury.
"Skylar…" Serana's voice was breathy and full of fear. Her arms were at her sides as her entire body shook.
Serana's body was not the only one that was shaking. Skylar's was as well.
Serana noticed this really quickly. And not only that… Her eyes caught something around Skylar's neck… A collar…
"No… No.. No…" Serana's voice pitched slightly as image of werewolves wearing those collars around her father's castle flashed in her mind. They had to do EVERYTHING they were told.
Her hands instantly reached up and she cupped Skylar's furry face in her hands. "Skylar.. Please…. No…" She begged with tears in her eyes.
All she received in response was a low growl.
But very slowly as Serana stared into those eyes Skylar's ears slowly drooped against her head and she backed away from the vampire with a very low and sorrowful whine. Skylar's eyes screwed shut and she flattened herself against the ground as if something was standing over her ready to hit her.
Within minutes Skylar was changed back into her normal self, curled up on the ground shivering and whimpering in a complete mental and physical fight for control over her own body.
"Skylar." Serana breathed as she rushed over to her. "Listen to me… Try to relax…" She placed her hands against Skylar's arm, but Skylar only flinched away whimpering.
That Collar! Serana HAD to get it off and fast!
Serana could see the damage done to Skylar's neck that was caused by the girl's own nails. She would have to deal with that after though, the collar had to come first.
But as Serana struggled with the thick silver like item she realized that it was far harder said than done. She couldn't get it off. It was completely locked into place. There was a spell holding it on Skylar.
Her heart sank as Skylar's whimpers found her ears once again. Skylar was trapped… And Serana could do nothing but pull the girl onto her lap and rock her back and forth as she whispered promises to free her as she ran her hands through her hair.
