(A/N): Hey Guys! Finally, another chapter! I wrote this at school and had to change the PoV just then when I typed it up. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


Leo

I remembered when I had first changed, and the cheetah's mind had surfaced. It had been easy for me to control, seeing as how I had the same powerful, animalistic instinct inside of me all the time, but I knew it wouldn't be the same way for Elaine, and I didn't want Moony, who was practically human at this point, in the same room as her when she did.

Her body shifted and twisted, and though I knew that she was experiencing no pain, I flinched nonetheless.

Half a minute later, her change was complete, and before me stood a wolf.

Her eyes found me, her eyes, before they darkened slightly, only enough to be seen by my heightened senses.

Her lips peeled back in a snarl, revealing sharp canine teeth.

Seemingly without warning, she lunged at me, teeth bared and headed straight for my throat.

I definitely would have had the power to fight her off, or the speed to evade her, but I didn't want to hurt her, so I just didn't move.

Her teeth gouged my shoulder, her clawed paws slashing at my arms and sides. A sharp spike of pain coursed through me, but I did my best to ignore it.

After about half a minute, the wolf slowed, pulling back carefully.

The eyes I saw now were hers, Elaine's. And in them I saw my own reflection, my throat shredded, blood staining my shirt and flecking my face.

Elaine's form melted, and soon she was sitting on my thigh's, staring down at me, horrified.

"Leo..." She breathed, tears starting to streak down her face.

"Yeah?" She seemed surprised to hear me answer.

I sat up, not even wincing. Or, rather, hiding my wince exceptionally. The wounds were already starting to knit themselves back together.

"Where's Remus?" She asked, biting her lip, and twisting around to look for him.

"Out here. Can I come back in now?" I kept my eyes on Elaine who was staring, wide-eyed, at the wounds she had caused.

"Yeah. Come on in." The door behind me opened, and Remus entered, gasping as he saw the back of my blood soaked t-shirt.

"What happened?" He cried, and Elaine flinched.

"The wolf mind." She whispered, and I frowned.

"I should have told you." Elaine's head snapped up.

"This happened with the cheetah mind? Did you attack anyone?" I chuckled darkly, shaking my head.

"Oh please, animal mind is easy compared to vampire mind." Remus stared at the back of my head.

"You didn't answer the question. Did you attack anyone?" I froze.

"Not in animagus form." I told them tightly, quietly, avoiding both sets of eyes.

"Madam Pomfrey." Elaine supplied, but Remus shook his head.

"I mean actually attack. Attack as in, make contact with the person." They both looked to me again, and I hesitated for a second before nodding.

"Who?" Elaine asked in a hushed tone, and I looked at her with tortured eyes.

"Brooke." Elaine glanced at Remus.

"And that, that was Brooke." Remus quoted me, nodding as he finally understood.

"It wasn't-" They both stared at me expectantly. "It wasn't completely my fault." I told them, raising his eyes to look at Elaine again." "She was hurt, bleeding, and asked me to heal her... I lost control." I said, releasing a shuddering breath.

"Vampire venom has healing properties." Elaine chimed in, obviously remembering our little talk after she had been bitten by Jonothan.

"Well, you're fine now-" My head snapped up before I shook it.

"No, I'm not! Why do you think I've been avoiding all of you? Why do you think I avoided Lily in first year? I'm afraid I'll do it again. I will do it again." I stared Elaine dead in the eye as I said this, not being able to do the same to Remus. "I'm just trying to keep you safe." I hesitated. "From me." I lifted Elaine off my lap with ease and headed for the door only to find that Remus had already blocked his way.

"Remus." I murmured, before meeting his eyes, my own slightly darkened due to lack of, and need for blood. "I need to hunt." With a tight swallow, the werewolf boy stepped out of my way, and I sped out of the Room of Requirement, through the corridors and out into the grounds, a bitter taste in my mouth.


(A/N): So much has been accomplished! YES!
