He too tried to breath, he knew he could run better as a tiger but he couldn't just yet he got a boost of adrenaline and continued running. All his thoughts foccused on making it to his goal.

She glanced over her shoulder, seeing them falling behind. But a engine rumbled, she watched a pickup stop for them to hop in the bed, and then kept towards them. "Sh*t." She said breathlessly. "They'll prod and poke us. We have to hide!"

He groaned, "Where are we supposed to hide at.?"

She pointed to some cliffs ahead. "Caves."

He nodded running that way.

When they got to the cliffs, she started climbing, ignoring the icy water splashing her legs.

He too started to climb, he slipped though and fell a little, banging his knee against the hard rock, he gritted his teeth and kept climbing.

She grabbed a ledge, but the rock crumbled from her hand and she slid down the cliff face, scrabbling to catch hold. Her muscles began to twitch, and she ignored the blood pouring from where the rocks scraped her sking. She pulled herself up into a crag, crawling through, collapsing when it opened up into a cavern, vomiting.

He finally made it up into the cavern. He crawled away from her and collapsed onto his back, breathing heavily.

She wrapped her arms around her chest, as the muscles began to spasm. She tried to calm her fluttering heart, before she changed into a wolf completely.

He backed up away from her, holding his head for he had just gotten a massive headache, as if someone had shot him in the head. He rubbed his temples, trying to keep out of sight.

(Just to butt in, can he be very protective of those he feels connected to/responsible for? )

Her muscles drew taunt as she convulsed, choking slightly as she transformed. Soon, a black wolf with her blue-green eyes lay, side heaving from exhaustion.

(ha. okay.)

The headache grew and grew and he needed to change or he felt his head would explode. Soon a bright orange tiger was standing in the place of the human body. He heard something outside the cave and pounced over to Roxanne. He growled, standing in front of her.

She struggled to her feet, shaking off the tangled straps of her white dress from her paws. She uneasily wobbled to his side, standing half the tigers height, and concentrating hard to figure out how to control her strange body and peek around him to the entrance.

The sound turned out to be just a bird on the edge of the cliff, rustling in some bushes, but he didn't move from his protective stance, he glanced at her.

She blinked gratefully, and curled up, still shaking slightly.

"You okay?"
(they can talk right?)

(Sureee )

She looked up at him, and worked her jaw a couple of times, before replying, in. Not so much of a clear voice as her natural. "Yearh. Jusht... Strange."

He nodded, "Okay." He was used to being in this form so he spoke with ease. "As soon as they leave we need to get somewhere safer."

She nodded, and slumbed against his sturdy legs, sighing.

He looked down at her, his eyes soft, he nudged her neck with his nose and grinned, "Sleep, in the morning we will leave."

She nodded, but suddenly stiffened. She crawled back into the shadows, by her white dress, as her muscles convulsed and she went through the change. She choked slightly, throwing up, and blindly groped for her dress, pulling it up, over her head and straightening up, wiping her mouth. "Damn this curse." She muttered, coughing softly.

Hunter nodded his head, e liked being a tiger sometimes, but it did get annoying when the change happened without his control, he stayed a tiger, he felt he could protect her and himself better that way.

She.crawled over to where he was, and lay on the stone, closing her eyes, playing with a tear in the hem of her white dress.

He looked at her and walked next to her, he lay down beside her, still a tiger and rested his head in her shoulder, his eyes were glued to the mouth of the cave.
