Welcome back to another chapter! Let's get started!

Chapter 2

Annie pried open her eyes and groaned. "Ow, what the fuck?" she said, holding her side. She looked down and notice a large bruise on her side. She also noticed that she was not in the woods anymore. Annie looked around and saw that she was in a bedroom.

"Shit. Where the hell am I?" Annie got out of the bed and wrapped a blanket around herself. "Could this be a hunter's house?" She immediately went to the window and looked out it towards the ground. She estimated a twenty foot drop and decided not to jump out of the window, thinking it might injure her side even more when she landed.

"Alright, got to do this quiet." she whispered to herself. Annie walked towards the door as quietly as she could and opened it. Unfortunately, the door made a loud creaking sound which could be heard through the house.

"Are you awake?" she heard a man's voice from farther in the house.

"Fuck." Annie whispered. She attempted to morph as the man came around the corner. However, her rib cage seemed to be broken and her body wouldn't morph correctly. Annie went back to her human from and fell on her hands and knees. The man came running up to her.

"Are you alright?" he asked, holding out his hand to help her up.

"You better have a good explanation to why I'm in your house." Annie growled, slapping his hand away.

"I think I do." said the man. "Why don't you come sit down in the living room?"

Annie could sense that the man was scared, though he didn't show it. To Annie, his nervousness radiated off of him like a bad smell. "Who are you?" she asked, slowly and cautiously make her way into the living room.

"My name is Armin." he said. "May I ask your name?"

"No." Annie said bluntly. The man didn't seem like a person who would hurt her, but it never hurt to keep her guard up.

"Ok then, I'll just explain." Armin took a deep breath before continuing. "You're here because a wolf ran in front of my car." Annie could see where this was going and she didn't like it. "The wolf I hit was not dead so me and my friend decided to move it to the side where it wouldn't get hurt again."

"There was another person?" Annie asked, finally sitting down in a chair across from Armin.

"Yes, my friend Eren. Anyway, when I was getting something out of my car, Eren called me back over." Annie felt a small sense of panic in the pit of her stomach. "When I got there, you were where the wolf was."

Scratch that, Annie felt a GIANT wave of panic loom over as she stood up and began to pace around the room. "Shit shit shit!" she mumbled. "How the fuck did that happen?"

"That's what I want to know." said Armin, standing up. "How does a wolf turn into a wolf? And from what you did in the hallway, vise versa."

Annie just continued to pace, not hearing what Armin had said. "I need to leave." she said suddenly. She tried to run to the door, but the pain in her side stopped her. It was actually worse than the last time it struck and Annie was on her knees, gripping her side through the blanket. "Goddammit!" she yelled.

"Are you alright?" Armin was at her side with a worried look.

"How hard did you hit me?" Annie growled through pain.

"Well, I think I was going 40 maybe 45 MPH."

"That explains it." Annie slowly stood up and sighed. "I think some of my ribs are broken."

"Sorry." Armin almost said immediately.

"Shut up." Annie snapped.

The two were quiet for a few seconds before Armin cleared his throat. "So, what are you going to do?" he asked.

Annie shot him a look. "I can't exactly do what I need to do with my ribs broken, can I?"

"Well, if you'd like I could help you out and-"

"Stop right there." Annie interrupted. "I don't know you and I'm not about to take help from someone who hit me with their car."

"You ran out in front of me! Do you know how hard it is to hit the brakes in the rain?"

"Apparently too hard for you."

"All I'm trying to do is help you so can do whatever you need to do."

"Yeah, like you could do that."

"At least let me help you get back to pack." Annie froze. How did he know about her pack.

Swiftly, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed him into the wall. "What do you know about my pack?"

"I-I thought all wolves had a pack." Armin said. "Since you turn into one, I would think that rule applies."

Annie hesitated for a moment, trying to ignore the pain in her ribs. She let go of Armin's collar and sighed. If he's this persistant, why not let him help? "If you want to help me," she said, finally let her guard. "find me some clothes. I'm tired of holding this blanket up."

Armin was surprised with the quick change in her attitude. He nodded. "I think I have some that will fit you." Armin walked down the hall and Annie sat back down on the couch. She waited patiently until Armin came back with some folded clothes. "Here" he said, handing her the clothes as she stood up. "Bathroom's down the hall. First door on the right."

Annie walked past him without a response and found the bathroom. The only thought in her head was how long it was going to take her ribs to heal so she could get out of here.

And if this person, Armin, were to try anything, she would dispatch him without hesitation.
