Derek scratched his back. Shock came over him. "Dammit Cathy, I can't go without clothes, you've been through the Change, I need clothes.", he said, scratching more as he stepped out from the bushes.

Cathy pulls a flowery sundress out of her bag and drops it for him so she wouldn't have to look back and keeps walking. She didn't like that dress very much anyway

"Uh...I guess you have no shorts that could fit me.....cross ressing it is.", Derek muttered as he grabbed the dress. He figures it wouldn't fit, so he wrapped it around his waist, coving his lower body. He continued after.

Cathy let's out a chuckling bark glancing back after he had wrapped up in the dress. She was half hoping to run into someone out walking just to see their face

"Your lucky, now we'd better hurry, you could Change at anytime.",, Derek said as he started walking gingerly.

Cathy shut up really quick at that a shiver running through her just remembering the pain of the change. She walks quietly after that

"Hey, don't run off on you own.", Derek said. 'When you change back, I have my brother's credit card, I need you to buy me clothes.", Derek said. "You have your own clothes.", he said. "If The change comes, I promise, werewolf to werewolf, I'll help you.", Derek stated firmly, as he caught up with her.

Cathy let's out a series of growls and wimpers trying to talk though her form wouldn't let her

"Cathy, I didn't quite catch that one, could you repeat.", Derek asked her.

Cathy lays her ears back and glares at him thinking he was making fun of her and starts marching in the direction they had been heading

"Hey, wait up, what's wrong with you, do you.....are you scared of the Change? The pain it brings onto you? Well.....I'm scared of it..", he said, walking slowly behind her as he seemed to mutter to himself.

Cathy didn't get a chance to answer because her change started. Being newer it took longer for her and was more painful. She was howling in pain through most of it. When it was over she was laying on the ground still shivering from it and her breathing laboured

Derek made sure not to look. he knew she had to be in pain, but, being called a pervert wouldnt' help their situation. "Cathy, it's okay, the Change is over, you should get some clothes on.", Derek said.

It took a bit for her to get dressed because her hands were still trembling. By the time she was done she was in jeans, blouse and a wimpy dollar pair of flipflops them being her last pair of shoes if they could be called that. "It's safe to look now" Cathy says her voice trembling almost as much as her hands did

Derek instantly went over to Cathy. Placing a large hand on her shoulder, he smiled. "You hungry?", he asked, holding up a bank card. "I have the PIN number and everything, al I'll need is you to buy me some extra large clothes from well, anyway, probably cheap sweater and sweatpants.", Derek said.

Rift started off into the woods, having heard the howling from quite a distance. She ran through in her little skirt and sandals, making sure to keep the pack on her shoulder. She was panting as she ran along, doing her best to follow where the painful howls had come from. "Derek!" she shouted once or twice, trying to get his attention. She knew he had good hearing, and hoped he could hear her.

Derek flinched. "Rift?!", he muttered. He stepped away. "Stay here.", Derek said. He slipped away, ditching the dress and emerged near Rift. "Hey, Rift, what are you doing out here?", he asked her, aware he was naked. "It's not safe.", he said firmly, anger flaring.

Rift halted, catching her breath in her throat. "Derek, you scared me..." she whispered, releasing a sigh of relief. "I came to find you," she said strongly, looking up at him. She quickly noticed his lack of attire and blushed. "I uh...brought you some clothes, too..." she muttered, holding out the bag.

"Thanks..", he said. "I know you like me dressed like this.", Derek said with a growled as he embraced Rift's body with his. He forced his lips onto hers, and one of his hands held the back of her head, and the other carressed her waist. After about 7 minutes of kissing, Derek released Rift. "I'm sorry...I took off.", he said, taking the bag and pulling out a pair of his boxers, sweatpants, undershirt and sweater. Putting it on quickly, he looked at Rift. "Thanks, We should get back to Cathy.", Derek said.

Cathy does as she's told mostly. She didn't stay exactly where she was but sat down on a fallen tree in sight of where she had been but still out of sight of Derek and Rift. While she is waiting she looks up at the stars trying to pick out constilations

Rift felt herself melt into his arms, letting herself fall into his embrace. She couldn't even help it, she couldn't feel mad at him at the moment. Yet, that Luke still pinged at the back of her mind, making her feel slightly uncomfortable. He released her, and she nodded. "Alright, you lead the way," she said, ready to follow.

Luke dashed through the yard, stopping at the trees. "Jason, stay with me and Mara, and be careful.", Luke said, walking in. Jace was on his heels.


Derek smiled. "I want some more time.", Derek growled out, pulling Rift into him, sliding them into the bushes. He forcefully kissed her again, before nibbling on her neck.

Mara nodded back to Jace, running along with Az.

Rift blushed hard with a light squeak as Derek pulled her into the bushes. She wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back with a slight whimper. She loved it when he was so forceful... She tilted her head away, playing with his hair as he nibbled at her neck, panting lightly.

Getting bored looking at the stars Cathy pulls her harp out of her bag. She settles it where it won't slip off her lap and starts playing closing her eyes as she plays yet not missing a single note. Her hands knew the harp and knew just where each string was without looking

Derek opened his mouth. "I want you...", he said, lustfully. He continued to carress Rift with his hands. "I want you, and I regret every second I spend away from you.", he said, gibing her a pout. "I'm sorry about leaving you and Jason behind, but Cathy wasn't in the house.", Derek said.

"A harp. It sounds so beautiful, like the angels are singing.", Luke said, standing behind Cathy as Jace was hanging from luke's back.
