Sorry for taking soooooooooooo long to update! I've been absolutely SWAMPED with homework and have had NO time. Epic fight scene and sadness. (Hopefully…at least that's the goal.) Oh, and sorry it's so short. :P

Running

Moonlight pooled around them. Emmy looked up at Remus and moved away before she could change. Her body felt like it was on fire. She couldn't look away from the moon. It called out to her, pulled at the creature within. Moments later, a reddish brown wolf occupied the space where Emmy had just stood.

Nearby, Lupin had also transformed. He looked at the newcomer with an expression of interest. But this didn't last long. Seconds later he growled at her and lunged forward in a full on attack. Emmy darted out of the way just in time, growling just as fiercely. He ran at her again and she darted into the woods.

Emmy ran and Lupin chased her for what seemed like hours. He wasn't used to having someone new in his territory and Emmy's presence was disrupting the entire balance. Soon Emmy was getting tired. Her unadjusted body was not used to this kind of exercise. She slowed down to a jog and was hit at full force by Lupin who had just leapt out of the dense brush.

Pain tore through Emmy's body. She collapsed on the ground and lay unconscious. It would be several hours before she was found.

oOo

"Emmy?" Remus' voice sounded scared. What had he done to her? He ran through the woods trying to find her, praying she was okay.

He saw a small figure curled on the wet leaves under a tree.

"Emmy!" He ran over to her and saw what had happened to her.

Her clothes were soaked in blood and she was unconscious. Several gashes marred her skin. He felt sick. Had he done this to her?

"No." He breathed, staring down at her. He lifted her small frame into his arms and hugged her.

"Emmy, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I'm so sorry."

She slowly opened her eyes. Everything hurt. She had never felt so much pain in her entire life. She was vaguely aware of someone holding her. She chanced a glance up to see Remus looking quite upset. She hugged him because he looked like he needed it.

He smiled sadly. "I'm sorry."

"I know." She said, still hugging him.

Well that was less short than I thought it would be but it's still a tiny little thing. Review cos review will allow me to get more than 5 and a half hours of sleep!
