He goes inside.

Permalink

She's left alone on the grass. The sun is still out. The curtains across the street suddenly draw closed.

Permalink

She can't stay here. But she can't just leave him. They both need to leave.

She stays where she is.

Permalink

She can hear crying inside. The sound of a body being dragged, head thudding against the wooden floor. Something falling- not fragile, and so unbroken. Pleas for him to wake up, please. Glass shattering. Crying.

About ten minutes pass.

Permalink

She curls up next to the door, shaking, feeling his pain. She's fucked everything up, can't help him. She ruins everything she touches.

Permalink

He comes back outside. He's wearing a leather jacket that doesn't fit quite right, although she can already see that his body will change to fit it. Werewolves are stronger than humans.

"Let's go. I can't stay here."

Permalink

Juliet nods and - doesn't actually know where to go.

"Matt's?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Lead the way."

Permalink

Juliet leads the way in silence. She doesn't know what to say. When they arrive she tucks them away from view around the side of the house and messages Matt on her phone.

Permalink

Hey. You okay?

Permalink

"Everything's louder," he whispers, twitching whenever a bird or a squirrel engages in ordinary animal behavior.

Permalink
"No. Your senses are just better. Hearing is just the beginning."

I fucked up. Come outside, I have Isaac with me.
Permalink

He opens the window.

Permalink

"Just like the old days."

He looks to her for approval before he starts climbing.

Permalink

- right, okay.

She waits for him to get inside before following him.

Permalink

-where he's waiting for her. He wraps her in an embrace, ignoring Isaac entirely.

Permalink

Permalink

She clings to him, burying her face into his shirt.

"He's dead. I - this keeps happening."

Permalink

"Shhh. It's going to be okay. Don't worry, Juliet. We'll get through this."

They might sound like platitudes, but she can feel his confidence in them. They're unshakeable.

Permalink

"Can I stay here tonight?"

Permalink

"Sure. Whatever you need."

He kisses her on the forehead.

Permalink

"I changed him. Wanted to make him strong."

Permalink

"I'm going to sleep. I can take the closet."

He opens it, not waiting for permission, clearing some space.

Permalink

"I should- take care of him. What are you going to do, Juliet?"

Permalink

"You're not sleeping in the closet," she directs at Isaac, then shakes her head and looks up at Matt. "I need to... one of his neighbours saw us. I caught them looking through the window. I should go to the police station, tell them - tell them there was an argument and he had a heart attack."
