Brutus nearly jumped out and off the bed when she awoke. He would remain in wolf form for another day. The wolf stood up on the bed and gave a stretch, looking her over. With a few steps on the mattress, he sat behind her and wagged his tail; the long fur gliding effortlessly across the bed. He gave a half bark at her, agreeing that it would be three more days. Jumping off the bed, he padded over to her bag with the meat in it and stuffed his nose and muzzle in; making it clear he was searching for food, and even pawing at the material. With an annoyed huffing sound, he sat down, straight, and stared intently at her. Of course, before she could even move, he marched over to her, jumped up on his hind legs and put his paws on her shoulders. Had he been human, at that moment he would’ve been staring tenderly down into her eyes… and as a wolf, he tried that as best as he could… and licked her from her jaw up her cheek. The male began to wag his tail once more, and lightly rested his chin upon her head; as though he were holding her in an embrace.

"Brutus" she laughed as she pulled herself away, she excepted the embrace and soon pulled away to rummage through her sack filled with meat and gave one to Brutus and one to herself aswell. "Its going to be a long travel, so we must be weary on this journey" Erim smiled as she began to eat.

Brutus lightly took the food from her. She was worried about food, as usual. The amount they had would last them nearly a week! And before they ran out, he’d simply go hunting again. There was nothing to worry about. With a small huff, and finishing up the meat, he rolled onto his back, exposing his stomach. He let his head roll lazily to the side, so that his tongue fell out of his mouth. His tail lightly began to rub against the ground as he wagged it. He clearly wasn’t ready to give up the room to travel more, especially since he would be stuck in wolf form for nearly another full day.

"BRUTUS!" Erim called out almost in a scolding tone as though telling Brutus that the food was to be rationed, she knew that he wouldn't stand for it. She sighed as she began to gather her things and looked at her companion in his wolf form, "you think this is funny don't you?" She sighed as she turned her back on him, "like it or not we still have three days traveling and we're leaving" she headed towards the wolf as she playfully rubbed his belly. "Knock it off..." she teased.

Brutus groaned in his wolf form and looked at her, still lying upside down. He really didn’t want to travel in this form… it meant he couldn’t protect her as well as he could. With a huff, he flipped on to his legs and stretched for a final time. If he could’ve, he would’ve told her he found it hilarious, that she was getting a bit uppity over nothing. With a yawn, he padded his way over to the door, then sat in front of it; waiting for her to open the door so they could, yet again, continue on to the journey to the shrine.
After they had left the Inn, Brutus walked right beside her; making sure his side touched some part of her body—whether it be her leg or hand. He refused to let her get too far away from him, especially in a city where someone could easily do something with her, and then blame it on him.

The city was bustling with excitement and yet Erim was more focused on supplying and getting the hell out of here before things get more out of shape. She remembered the way the inn keeper watched them leave almost as though he knew a little something about Brutus. However; she paid no mind it was then that a figure among the crowd caught her attention. He stood tall, his hair was dark and long, and his eyes were a piercing red. She could almost feel her heart race but it was fear she felt and she didn't know why. He turned to look at her and vanished within the crowd. Her heart pulsing savagely. She shook her head, it was a man she did not know and yet her body felt a sensation of fear glow within her. She stocked her supplies as they finally exited the city now heading north some more. The image of the man began to flash within her thoughts as she began to ponder why, why was it that looking at him frightened her so much?

Brutus could sense the sudden strain and stress Erim was going through. With a small growl, the hackles on the back of his neck and along his back began to stick up, as well as his tail puffed out slightly. Eagerly, he nudged his head against her hand as well as licked it. With a whine, he lead her out of the city after collecting everything and guided her off to the side. The wolf let out another whine and gave her another nudge, as though asking her what was happening.

Erim shook her head, she herself didn't know why she acted the way she did, however; the feeling was there and it happened there was nothing she could do or say about it that could explain the situation that just unfolded in Feral. She shook her head as she continued on ward, pushing the thought pass her shoulder as she turned to look at Brutus who followed her from close behind. "Its fine Brutus nothing to be concern about" She forced the same traditional old fake smile she always did when something unsure to her submerged out of no where. She didn't know what to say or think. It was then that she felt the same feeling through her chest as his face flashed before her thoughts, and suddenly she fell on her knee. Clenching her chest as though urging herself to calm down, she was panicking and her breathing began to raise. What was this...she didn't know what to think.

Brutus whined as she had claimed that she was fine, and gave an audible huff of disapproval at her. He trotted a head a few paces, sniffing the ground to get any possible scent of an animal that could be hunted. It was for but a few seconds, and when he realized she wasn't next to him as she had been, he whipped around, just in time to see her collapse to her knees. His heart immediately began to race as she rushed back to her. He stuck his large nose in her face while whining and nudged her chin a few times. The wolf began to lick her face, trying to help her calm down more. There was nothing much else he could do, except hope she would be able to snap out of whatever was happening to her. Helplessly, he nudged her more, yelling mentally at her to calm down and to relax. She knew he was there to protect her, and would never let any harm come to her.

Despite his efforts at trying to reassure her she knew that it wasn't granting her much help. Her hands continued to tremble but despite this she was still able to reach her hand in its shaking form and gently caress the cheek of the wolf whose wet note gently touched her face, whining with eyes expressing worry. Why was he worried...surely it was just her it had to be, the bustling town of Feral filled with people only there to amuse themselves why else would that stranger shoot so much fear through her body that her knees buckled and she collapsed. She swallowed and looked away she didn't want his eyes lingering upon her sickly white complexion, her fake smile returning to her face once more "don't worry about me", she pulled herself to her footing barely able to do so. Her head quickly glancing over her shoulder towards the gates of Feral. At least she was out now with only the guards by the entrance to spectate over them. She quickly brushed her soft hands through the fur on Brutus's head and proceeded to walking.
"Lets get going" her feet began to guide her, "ugh..." the gurgling noise was heard back at the gates of Feral she quickly shot her head back to the two guards that were guarding its gates both in which collapsed with a wound that seemed to have been done by two daggers. "Its been a long while hasn't it" that voice, her body began to tremble again, the man from earlier stood in between the now dead guards. His hair was long and dark and eyes were pearly grey. "I wasn't sure it was you at first, but that hair silver...and that knock out body" he made a sound as though humming how delicious she was. "...It surely is you my mistress" he had an allure of an insane man his face spread a smile that quickly vanished when his eyes met the dog who defensively protected 'his mistress' "...ugh what is this?""Who are you?" Erim quickly shot out. The man's eyes began to express anger "Who am I? WHO AM I!?" His body began producing heat "ERIM MY QUEEN IT IS I, YOUR DEAREST FAN AND YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN ME!" despite a smile creeping across his lips it was evident to see that he was annoyed. This meant he was a threat "ITS THAT BEAST YOU CARRY BY YOUR SIDE CLOUDING YOUR MEMORIES! YOU HAVE A MISSION TO ACCOMPLISH AND HE IS HOLDING YOU BACK!"

Still suspicious of her behavior, Brutus gave her a huff and leaned against her leg as she stood and began to walk. His long fur waved as he trotted beside her. His amber eyes gazed off in to the distance, looking over the rocky road as their destination. He was still feeling confused, and the lack of communication he could provide at the moment was rather frustrating to him. It wasn't until he caught a whiff of blood that he turned with her.
Almost immediately, the hackles from his neck down to his thick tail shot up and he lowered himself to the ground in defense. A loud, deep growl issued from his throat the entire time the man and Erim exchanged words. It wasn't until the mysterious man-- if he could call him that-- began to yell that Brutus began snapping and snarling. How dare he even suggest it was he that was holding her back! It was because of him that she was able to get so far, with his help! He made sure she was safe, and was promising to get her memory back! His mind yelled.. alas, it only came out as more snarling and barking. Just who did this... man... think he was!?

"REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID ERIM, DON'T YOU REMEMBER!"
He began gesturing his hand in a pointing fashion approaching the girl, who seemed to only back away as he approached, the man did not fear Brutus in this state, whoever he was his intention was not of good nature. "Who are you...get away!" She didn't know how to respond. This man killed men, and the stench of blood reeked on him. His face filled with malice and insanity eagerly urged her to jog out what memory she had. "WE HAVE A MISSION WHY MUST YOU TURN ON ME SO" at this point he was only two footsteps away from the pair, his voice elevated but his smile never left and eyes never parted hers. He extended his hand reaching towards Erim in a gentleman like fashion "PLEASE DON'T BACK AWAY FROM YOUR PROMISE, AND COME WITH ME" his hand and arm now hung above Brutus and towards Erim. Erim at a loss for words glanced at his wrist and back at him, her hand now away from Brutus and now clasp with its pair, pressing towards her chest. Her body only began to tremble even more.

Brutus was barking and snarling the entire time the man was getting closer. Without waiting for her command, when his arm was hanging over him, he lunged at the man. His large fang sunk into the man's arm; blood gushed out the sides of his mouth. Roughly, Brutus shook his his from side to side, deepening the bite marks. He let go, growling more. Suddenly, he turned and darted between her legs, knocking her down on to his back and he took off running. He had to get her out of there; had to get her away from that crazy man. There was no way in Hell he'd be able to protect her any better in this state than to run with her on his back.

She felt herself being pushed over her eyes never truly leaving his. She hugged the beast holding on for dear life and felt his body pull her away. They were escaping and she felt a sense of relief as the man was getting further and further from site. She breathed her eyes hanging to full shut. When she knew they had been fully away and out of site she allowed her body to hang heavy. It was evident to feel that she had fainted her grip loosening as she began to slip off.
××××××
Blood dripped from his arm, he ran his finger over it licking his finger. The pain should have been intense from how deep it looked but the man didn't seemed bothered by it. "That beast is going to be a threat I know this. This body won't be holding on for much longer" his words carried eagerness, without a moment longer he vanished.

Brutus ran, and ran. He ran in to the woods just on the other side of Feral, and he didn't stop until he was entirely cloaked by the thick woods. It was when he had began to trot at a slower pace that he began to feel something was off with Erim. Walking now, he began to feel her sliding off his back and he quickly sat down, her fall wouldn't be as great. With a heavy whine, Brutus looked at the woman, looking to be asleep, while he knew it wasn't the case. Such trama from the previous event had caused her to pass out. Never had he seen, or sensed, such fear coming from her.
With another whine, he gently took hold of the collar of her shirt and carefully dragged her across dried leaves and twigs to the trunk of a tree. As best as he could, he maneuvered her to lean against it. There was nothing he could truly do, except keep a watchful eye on Erim.
~~~~~~~
It wasn't until the next morning that Brutus could do anything helpful. After the night of the strongest full moon had passed, he was changed back in to a human in the morning. All throughout the night, the werewolf kept a close eye on the woman against the tree. Rarely did he leave her side, except to go catch a few small woodland deer that had been roaming near their 'camp'. He didn't dare wander an farther, for fear of her waking up and thinking she was abandoned, or for someone-- or thing-- came and tried to kill her as she was fainted.
Brutus quickly gathered enough wood, stones, and sticks to build a rather small fire; something just big enough to cook a little of the meat he had previously hunted. The aroma of the cooking venison filled the small space, and the man crouched over the woman. "Erim...." his rough voice whispered and he gently put a hand on her cheek. "wake up, my faeidirr." He cooed softly in his native tongue. "you're truly starting to worry me my naes..." He added on in a whisper, worry thick in his voice.
faeidirr=beauty; naes=dear
