A/N: A wee little update! ENJOY!

Together we walked back into the living room to see Em wiping his hands on a rag. "What's the verdict, Em?"

"She'll recover. It may take a few days as she suffered several deep cuts. I cleaned them out and gave her a shot of antibiotic. I left one more for Esme to give her in the morning."

"When will she shift back?" I asked.

"That's harder to say. If she just recently shifted, she may not until she has more strength. Feel free to move to the guest room, she'll be more comfortable."

"Thank you, Em. Let me walk you out." I paid them no attention, I rushed over to Ellaene's side. Em has washed her fur from all the blood. Fabric bandages were around the worst of the wounds. I was pleased to see they were lightly spotted with blood.

"Did you want to help me move her?" Esme was once more smiling at me. "The bedroom is just off this room." I picked her up and followed Esme. The covers were removed and I set her down in the middle of the bed. "It may be several hours before she wakes. Do you want a shower and some food? There's a bathroom as part of this room and I can bring you something to eat."

Just then my stomach growled. "That would be wonderful, thank you Esme."

Se waved her hand. "It's no problem. You go shower, towels and toiletries are in the cupboards and I bring you come clothes and a few sandwiches."

Twenty minutes later I felt clean and very human. There was a platter of sandwiches on the dresser and Esme was bringing in a few cans of pop and a bag of chips. The food called to me and I took several huge bites as I watched Esme check on Ellaene. Esme opened a can of pop after turning away from Ellaene.

"Thank you! The sandwiches are delicious. It feels good to taste something familiar." Then it hit me, I was eating human food. "Um, Esme, how do you have human food?"

"Not all wolves are born." With statement hanging in the air, she winked at me. "I'll check on you guys later." With that she was gone and I was left pondering her words.

A/N: Ohh.. gotta love Esme! Would love to hear from you!
