Danger! Alexa jolted awake, how long had she been asleep, why was it pitch black? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness seamlessly but there was still very little she could make out, rare. According to her other senses it was an earthen chamber, the air felt musky and a little stagnant and reused, there was no light getting in or air, she must be buried alive! Step one, calm, use as little oxygen as possible, two check situation for any other threats. She gingerly moved about, taking cool notice that she was hung up loosely by her neck, hand were tied behind her back, and her feet, she was standing on some form of platform, she checked reaching out a foot at a time. No it was a dining chair. Zoe must have gotten to her somehow, how had no one woken her, how had the vampire gotten around her instincts?
The earth shook around her, how could she get her legs over around her arms so she could free her neck from the noose? The earth shook again, a rumble of dirt tricked down around her. A train line, that would make her panic, use her oxygen faster, clever clever vampire. Was that her plan, to feed her blood, force her to kill herself with it still in her system, and then claw her way out, with the force of fresh vampiric hunger! Alexa would never allow that to happen, she would rather die. She crunched the false tooth she had full of an extremely high sulphur garlic compound, she swallowed the mass hard, the tung can only take so much garlic, but at least it would permeate her bloodstream, halting her movement if she turned.
The earth shuddered violently now, chunks falling from the far ceiling, she could hear them landing on the cavern floor. There was something coming towards her. This was her only change to escape the noose. She heard a faint growl, and insane rumble, a snarling creature had forced a hole in the cavern wall. It padded in, it's snarls echoing all over the chamber, not allowing any any other sounds to permeate the air, but for Alexa it had made a hole and brought in fresh air, despite the new threat there was hope. The wild wolf launched for her smaller suspended body, she lurched as far as she could out of the way. It snarled as it crashed straight into the wall behind her, without a moments hesitation it launched back again, furious and hungry. Alexa caught it's jaw with a single foot, sending it flying backwards. "I can go all night!" She shouted at the beast confident after her restorative nap. She just needed to force the wolf to leap over her and catch some of her bindings, she would easily heal from any wounds it inflicted. As soon as she was partially free she'd be able to subdue the beautiful animal too.
That was the plan, however the best laid plans of puppies and men and all that had left her hanging for hours, fighting with only one leg at a time. The mangey mutt had only been going for her legs, no matter how hard she tried to throw it's attention to her face, spitting at it, barking abuse, and biting her lip so the stench of blood dripped down her chin. The feelings of panic and dread started to edge into her psyche, the damm thing just won't let up. She had to try and kill the poor creature now she had no other choice. When it came at her this time she, tensed, concentrated all her force into her heel and contacting the edge of the creatures muzzle, 'Cruch' the mutts' face dropped to the ground. As if by sheer force she had caused a reaction in the entire body of the wolf it's bones crunched and broke in every place imaginable, it's joints dislocated and for a split second Alexa just saw a furry mass of animal parts. Then the fur receded, joints popped back, bones crackled smoothly back to a remembered place and suddenly before her crouched an incredibly handsome, tanned, chiselled, naked man.
"Owwww!" Tristan's hands shot to his muzzle, oh it had turned back into a nose, the female before him had managed to hit him square during a transformation, ouch! "Werewolf?" She asked tentatively, not paying any mind to her suspension, more trying to look away from his manhood. "How did you guess?" He sat back onto the ground and chuckled at the young one. He fully shifted back into his wolf, padding around the strange cave he had found himself in, then shifted back to see his assailant in colour. And she was very much in colour, her caramel freckled skin and she was even blushing. "Need any help?"
"No. If you've stopped trying rip me apart can you please leave me be, I have a few things to work out." Alexa pouted in concentration, she had seen nude bodies before but not for a while, and she hadn't finished thinking up a plan to destroy the one who had put her in this situation.
Tristan ignored her answer, he was never about to leave someone in such a life threatening position, especially one so cute. He undid her wrists, allowing her to pull the noose out from under her neck. She wobbled down to sit on the chair, she tried to stand, it was her turn to complain about the pain of their encounter, "Kicking you all night has killed my legs." She punched at her thighs probably sore from overuse. "Do you know were we are?" She asked, big black eyes sparkling. Tristan purposefully placed his feet on the ground, stretching his bare toes in the soft earth, letting his arms go limp, took a deep breath and closed his eyes and relaxed into the atmosphere. He knew exactly where he was in the world, in the country, in his familiar forrest, he was home. More specifically he was reasonably close to his cabin. "Yes I do. And I have a cabin close by shall we get you back to civilisation?" He said huskily, reluctant to return from his moment with nature, he caught her eyeing him with deep suspicion, "You're really going to be that helpful?" She'd decided to only look him in the eyes.
"You didn't freak out when you discovered I was a werewolf, and you were left to die in a cave. I think something else is going on here, probably highly illegal too." He mused and offered her a hand to help her up, after a moment she took it and staggered instantly, clutching her thighs. "five hours of kicking without stretching, ohh, you've got to love getting older. Bare with me, if we're getting back to the real world I can manage." She started waddling across the cave like a flat based toy, permanently crouched, swinging all her body weight to move one side. It was painful to watch, "What was you name?" he called to her from is observation point.
"Alexa."
"Alexa, I have a better idea, jump on." He lazily barked, and shifted into his black backed tan and red merle, lupine form.
'Focus Alexa focus, a handsome man just turned into a wolf, and he wants you to ride him,' Alexa was struggling to focus. In her shock of the situation she obeyed, and she noted she obeyed a little too eagerly. She preferred life without these thoughts in her head, he's very fluffy down there, he's really fluffy all over, even his stubble is gorgeous…. why did she notice that? 'What is wrong with me, someone just tried to kill me, who cares about the bloody hot werewolf,' "Whine." she glanced down along his plush fur to her hands, she was pulling violently at one of his ears in an attempt to control her own thoughts, she internally facepalmed, where is this cabin? He better not be a psycho-murderer-rapist, she did not have time for that.
