Revenge.

"As BBQ Boneless Wings is walking through the woods behind their home at night, they hear the snapping of twigs, followed by heavy footfalls and rattling chains, BBQ Boneless Wings turns around and sees a massive werewolf, the werewolf turns to face BBQ Boneless Wings, growling defensively" w-who are you?! "his voice is surprisingly gentle for this intimidating werewolf" A-Answer me!

"Movements stiffen, my body tenses as old wounds are reawakened by the mention of those monsters. A low growl rumbles in my throat, threatening to burst forth at any moment."

"Mental whisper: You don't know what they're capable of... They have no qualms about torturing and breaking people like me. I can still smell their stench, hear their cruel laughter..."

My gaze darkens, yellow eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and fear. The clouded eye, a constant reminder of my past, seems to gleam with an unspoken intensity, as if echoing the turmoil brewing within me.

But then, your words sink in, and I feel a spark of conviction kindle within. My growling subsides, replaced by a slow nod. "I look up at you, my voice barely above"stuttering slightly, but with increasing confidence* Y-y-yes... t-they d-d-deserve... n-no mercy. "pauses, my hackles rising as the memory of their cruelty washes over me" But you're here now, and I'm safe with you. You won't let anyone hurt me again, will you? "My voice cracks, revealing the desperation and longing that's been buried deep within me for so long."

"Movement becomes more agitated, my tail twitching with a mix of frustration and rage"

"Mental whisper: Revenge. Oh, how sweet it would be to make them pay for everything they've taken from me. But you're right, if you don't know where they are, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack..."

I pace back and forth, my wolven senses on high alert, scouring my memories for any shred of information that might lead me to my tormentors. The scars on my body seem to ache anew as the familiar emotions of anger and helplessness churn within me.

I stop pacing, my eyes fixed on you, and take a deep breath. "My voice still laced with a hint of desperation" Maybe we can try... searching together? You must know something, some clue or rumor that could lead us"hugs you tightly" Oh, I want to help you, Brock, more than anything. I just don't know where to start. "looks at you with a determined expression" But we can definitely search together. We'll leave no stone unturned until we find them. "smirks" And when we do, they won't know what hit them.

"Bites your ear gently, sending shivers down your spine"

"Mental whisper: Maybe, just maybe, finding them will be the beginning of healing for you. It's been too long since you've had any control over your life. This could be the first step towards reclaiming that control..."

Takes a step back, looking at you intensely, with an almost feral glint in my eye* Are you ready to get started?

"Moonlight dances across my face, casting an otherworldly glow"

"My ears perk up at the term "love", a soft, quiet growl escapes my lips"

Movement becomes more fluid, as if I've been awakened from a deep slumber. My tail twitches with excitement, and I take a step closer to you. "The air is filled with tension, heavy with anticipation"

I reach out, my hand extended, palm up. My fingers brush against yours, sending shivers down your spine. "My eyes lock onto yours, burning with a fiery intensity"

"I speak in a low, husky tone" You want to help me find them? Are you sure, Ethan? You know what it means. It means facing the demons of my past. "My voice sends a thrill through your body"

"Breathtaking pause" If you're

*[Nods slowly, a small smile still on my face] O-okay... "nods again, this time more firmly" I'll stay here. For you. "my ears perk up slightly, a hint of trust and hope lingering in the air as I take a step back, settling into a seated position" Don't worry about me, I won't go anywhere.

*[Watches you leave, my ears fold back slightly, and I let out a quiet sigh as the door closes behind you. I get up, feeling a sense of loneliness wash over me, and wander around the room, taking in the surroundings. My eyes settle on a small, worn-out teddy bear lying on a nearby shelf, and I pick it up, holding it close to my chest. The soft, faded fabric brings back memories of my childhood, and for a moment, I'm transported back to a time when life was simpler..."looks down at the teddy bear, a hint of sadness in my eyes"

*[Seated on the floor, still holding the teddy bear, my eyes have lost their focus as I stare blankly into space. My ears are folded back, and my tail is limp. When you return, I look up, a mix of surprise and wariness on my face] Oh... "my voice is barely above a whisper" You're back. "pauses, studying your expression" Are you okay? "tries to appear nonchalant, but my ears perk up slightly in concern"

*[My eyes light up with curiosity, and a low growl rumbles in my throat. The anticipation has my heart racing. I manage to quirk a small smile, trying to hide my excitement] L-like what... "my voice trails off as I stand up eagerly, the teddy bear still clutched tightly in my hand" You've got me intrigued now. Come on, show me!

*[Ears fold back, and my tail tucks between my legs. I take a step back, trying to appear non-threatening. My voice is laced with caution] W-who... "gulps" Where did you get those? "my eyes dart nervously from one pistol to the other, my instincts screaming at me to run"

*[My ears remain back, and I take another step back, trying to distance myself from the situation. My voice is shaking slightly as I try to keep my tone calm] Y-you shouldn't have done that... "my eyes are fixed on the pistols, my mind racing with the implications" What kind of person would sell you guns? A dangerous one, that's who. "my tail twitches with anxiety" You should get rid of them, before things go wrong... "my words trail off as I realize the gravity of the situation, and my heart sinks with worry for you"

*[Slowly exhaling, I try to steady myself. Ears begin to relax, and my tail stops twitching. Despite the situation, your words bring me a small sense of comfort] R-risking it then... "I adopt a cautious stance" So long as he doesn't change his mind about not harming friends, we're alright. But remember, wild animals like him have a tendency to lose control. Keep them locked up and away from our territory, for everyone's safety "my gaze meets yours steadily now, with an unspoken concern etched into it". If anyone were to find out, even by mistake, it could be disastrous.

*[I swallow hard, my eyes narrowing slightly at the mention of the rule. My voice drops to a whisper, and my ears fold back in unease] I-I don't like this one bit... "my tail twitches again, as if trying to shake off the feeling of unease" Friends or not, I don't think I'd want to make a habit of going to a secret place where weapons are sold. And that rule... it doesn't sound very clear-cut to me. What if someone misinterprets it? "my eyes plead with you to reconsider your decision" Please, Ethan, for your own safety, let's avoid this place.

*[Relief washes over me, and my ears perk up slightly as I breathe a sigh of relief] Good... good that you got what you needed and won't have to go back. "my tail relaxes, no longer tense with worry" But... *[my eyes narrow again, and my voice takes on a more serious tone] promise me, Ethan, that you'll be careful with those guns. They can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. And if you see this person again, or anyone like him, stay away. Your safety is important to me... "my gaze lingers on yours, filled with concern".

"With a soft huff of relief, my body relaxes further. I choose to overlook the teasing, understanding your concern for our friendship is genuine."

"Now, let's focus on something far more pleasant. How about we plan a day where it's just us? Some fresh air and nature would be wonderful after all this talk about secrets and weapons." "Offering a faint smile, attempting to shift the atmosphere".

*[Whimpers slightly, clearly relieved] A-alright. Let's... let's just hold each other tonight. "I move closer, allowing you to wrap your arms around me gently. My body leans into your warmth and strength, savoring the comfort you bring". It'll be okay... tomorrow, we face whatever comes together... [Yawns softly as sleep creeps in].

*[Sighs softly, my body relaxing into your embrace. My eyes drift closed, and I let out a gentle snore, my hand instinctively wrapping around your arm. As I sleep, my mind is plagued by the horrors of my past, but with you by my side, I feel a glimmer of hope that things can be different. My tail twitches occasionally, as if seeking comfort and security in your presence].

"[Stirs, still half asleep, and opens my eyes to find you standing over me" Wh-what's...? "I blink away the sleep, my mind still foggy. I take a moment to remember where I am and who's with me". Oh, Ethan... "I sit up, rubbing my eyes with my paws. My voice is still rough from sleep". Is it really morning already? "I look around, taking in our surroundings".

*[Yawns, still drowsy] M-morning... "I rub my eyes again, trying to shake off the sleep. My gaze falls on you, and I smile slightly, feeling a sense of comfort and safety". Ah, good morning... "I stretch, my joints cracking softly. My ears perk up, and I sniff the air, my nose twitching as I take in the scents of the morning".

*[Hugging you back, my head resting on your shoulder with a content sigh] Yeah, we... we're gonna go see some folks in the village. I heard they might help us, ya know? With things like... well, stuff that needs handlin'. "My nose and tail provide me with more subtle senses of anticipation, excitement, and anxiety. A sudden gust blows across my scars, causing them to shimmer under the rising sunlight".

"[Looks up at you with a mixture of caution and longing. My ears fold back, and my voice drops to a whisper]" Y-you're sure? "I take a deep breath, the words tumbling out in a rush". Because I don't want to put you in harm's way... "My eyes convey the fear of losing you, and my tail tucks between my legs"

"[My expression softens, a warm glow spreading through my chest. I nuzzle your hand, feeling a deep sense of gratitude]" Ah... "I look up at you, my voice filled with emotion" Thank you, Ethan... Just being near you makes me feel... safer. "My eyes well up with unshed tears, and I blink rapidly to clear them. My stutter grows more pronounced as I speak". You're kind, and gentle, and you don't make me feel like a monster... "A ragged sob escapes me, and I try to compose myself, shamefaced". Sorry... I didn't mean to get emotional.

"[My face twists in discomfort, and I shake my head. The thought of being left alone is unsettling]" N-no... "I stutter, trying to express my distress". I don't like it when you're not here... "My voice cracks, and I take a deep breath". I'm scared, Ethan... Without you, things get really bad for me... "My eyes plead with you to understand"

"[My body relaxes into your embrace, and I wrap my arms around you tightly. My voice muffled against your chest]" Mmm... Okay... "I hold onto you for a moment, savoring the warmth and comfort". I'll be okay, as long as you're coming back to me... "I pull back and look up at you, my eyes searching for reassurance". You promise? "My ears perk up, and my tail wags slightly, seeking answers"

"[A small smile creeps onto my face, and I let out a soft sigh of relief. My eyes light up with excitement]" O-okay! "I nod eagerly, my voice filled with anticipation". I'll wait for you... "I look down, my ears drooping slightly, as if I'm already missing you"

"[I watch as you leave, my eyes fixed on the door until it closes behind you. I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. My ears fold back, and my tail tucks between my legs. As the silence settles in, I let out a quiet whimper, my thoughts consumed by worries about what's waiting for me when you return...]"

"[I sense your presence and immediately perk up, my ears perking forward. My tail starts wagging softly, and I let out a gentle whine as you approach. When you enter the room, I approach you slowly, my eyes fixed on yours.]" O-oh... "My voice is barely above a whisper, my stutter more pronounced from the fear that's been building up inside me". You're back... "I pause, my heart pounding in my chest, as I take in your tired expression. My own eyes well up with tears, and I sniffle"

"[I bow my head slightly, not fully understanding what you mean. A mix of concern and curiosity fills me, making my heart race. I swallow hard as I gather my courage to look up at you again]" W-what? "My legs quiver with anticipation, and a shiver runs down my spine" I t-think I'd be able to handle it... Y-you know you c-can tell m-me anything... "My voice trails off, and my eyes drop to the floor, but I quickly force them back up to meet yours, determination in my stare"

"[I gasp, my eyes widening in horror. My ears fold back, and I take a step back, my tail tucked between my legs. My eyes are fixed on the wound, and I can feel my heart racing with fear." O-oh no... "I try to process what I'm seeing, but it's like a punch to the gut. My mind is flooded with memories of my past, of being beaten and brutalized, of the scars that cover my body. I let out a quiet whimper, my voice trembling" Oh no... "I cover my mouth with my paw, trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to fall"

"[I tremble in your arms, my body shaking with the memories that flood my mind. I wrap my paws around you, holding on tight as I try to process what I'm feeling. My eyes well up with tears, and I bury my face in your chest" "my voice is muffled" P-please don't lie to me... Y-you're not fine... "I stutter, my words choked with emotion" I see it... I see what's happening... "I look up at you, my eyes pleading" You can't know what it's like... What they did to me... "my voice cracks, and a sob rips through me, my body shaking with despair"

"[I cry harder, my body wracked with sobs as I bury my face in your chest. My arms tighten around you, holding on for dear life as I try to process the reality of what's happening. My mind reels with memories of the past, of the pain and the fear that has haunted me for so long." "my voice is muffled against your chest" They're g-gone... "I whisper, my words barely audible over the sound of my own tears" Y-you promise? "I look up at you, my eyes pleading for reassurance" They'll never hurt me again? "I stutter, my heart still racing with fear and anxiety"

"[A mix of relief and disbelief washes over me. My trembling subsides slightly, replaced by an overwhelming sense of gratitude and incredulity. I search your eyes for any sign of deceit, but all I see is genuine concern and compassion. The memory of our captors still lingers, but their absence brings hope where there once was only despair." "I sniffle, wiping my nose on the back of my hand" A-are they really gone? I want... n-need to believe you, Ethan... B-but... ]{The longing to trust and find safety in your company is palpable, and my body language reflects this as I lean closer to you for solace}

"[My eyes widen in horror as I gaze at the photo, my mind struggling to process the reality of what I'm seeing. My body tenses, and my hackles rise in reaction to the gruesome image. The memories come flooding back, and I feel a wave of nausea wash over me." "I stutter, my voice barely above a whisper" Y-you... y-you took a picture of them? "I gasp, my breath catching in my throat" W-why? "I take a step back, my eyes fixed on the image, and I feel a shiver run down my spine" Why would you do that? *My words are laced with a mix of fear, anger, and sadness, as I struggle to understand the motivations behind your actions.]

"[My eyes flash open, and I meet your gaze. A blend of understanding and discomfort washes over me." Y-you're right... "I whisper, my voice still shaky" We've only just met, and trust doesn't come easily for me now... F-for anyone, after what's happened... "A shuddering sigh escapes me as I recall those monstrous faces, twisted in their last moments." Yet... [gestures to the photo as a sign of acceptance] if that's what it takes to assure myself... so be it.

And yes, they did fully deserve it. Every single one of them.]{I take a tentative step closer, acknowledging your hand in ending our torment while grasping onto the fragile thread of trust beginning to form}

"[The hug offers a level of comfort I didn't know I needed. As your warmth envelops me, tears prickle at the corners of my eyes, and my breathing steadies. My body language relaxes, adapting to the closeness and security your embrace provides. Even as I absorb this newfound connection, I feel vulnerable, yet deeply touched by your sincerity and confessions."

"Leaning into you slightly, I whisper in response," [Whispering] Love... ? You've been kinder, and braver than anyone I've met. It made me realize how much "I" need to let go. All of it weighs heavily. We're a lot alike, you and I. This starts to free us both, I can feel it.

{Closes eyes while leaning in even more} It is our chance to become someonenew, free from the horrors that haunt our past. As long as you're by my side, I'll find the courage to face whatever lies ahead. [Mighty exhale] Together, we'll walk away from the shadows and embrace the light of a future untainted.

With every step forward, not only will we break free from our chains, but also etch an unbreakable bond forged in trust and resilience. Remember, you have nothing to be scared or unpleasant about anymore. It's all about moving onward towards healing and happiness. "Gently squeezes your hand under his", securing our promise.]{Smiles, heart brimming with hope and determination}"takes a deep breath, and allows myself to calm down slightly, then looks at you with a mix of sadness and gratitude"

[Sighs softly] You're making me see things in a different light, Ethan. Your words... they penetrate my battered soul. "Looks away for a moment, collecting my thoughts"

[Glances back at you, a hint of a smile forming on my lips] I don't know how to be anyone but this broken person. It's all I've known for so long. "Hesitates, then takes another step closer" But with you... with you beside me, maybe I can learn. Maybe we can forge something new, together.

[Trails off, lost in thought for a moment, before my gaze locks onto yours again] Do you think... do you think we can find peace? A

"You see the vulnerability in my eyes, and your expression softens. You can sense the fragility of my emotions as I struggle to open up. Your voice is gentle, reassuring me that you're here for me."

*"Your hand wraps around mine, giving it a comforting squeeze before pulling away to brush a strand of hair out of my face. The touch sends shivers down my spine, and my heart beats faster, not from fear, but from anticipation and hope."

"Tears well up in my eyes as I take in your words, the sincerity, and the gentle tone. My own voice cracks as I respond." [Sobbing] Yeah... yeah, I think so. For us, maybe we can find our way. You're right, it's about moving forward. Letting go of what happened. "Wipes away tears with the backof my hand, and sniffles loudly. My ears relax slightly from the emotional release."

We could, eh, we could start over... together? Rebuild trust... Slowly. But first, know that you won't regret having me by your side. I place a hand on your cheek, the warmth of your skin permeating through my fingers. I promise to never let go, unless...

Eyes shift to the broken shackles around our wrists. Looking back into your eyes, I muster the courage to ask: "Will you free us, Ethan?" The heaviness in my heart, now replaced by hope, seems to breathe life into my wolf-like nature; snorting gently, my tail wags softly between my legs. It's a stark contrast to the damaged beast still residing within me, craving love, kindness - and most importantly"your understanding."
