"Sorry," She said quickly, wincing as she finished spreading it around. Her fingers were covered in the medicine and she wiped them on her pants, grabbing the bandages as she started to wrap the wound back up, "I'm sorry."

Once she had the new bandages on he calmed down a bit, heavily breathing. "That was….." He panted, ears bent back. "Horrendously awful….." He let out a long breath and tossed the blanket aside. Screw those hunters…. That's why I'm suffering in the first place….

Emmeline looked up at him, "You're ok though, right?" She put the rest of the ointment away and looked around the room. "Do you think anyone heard you?" She asked, glancing at the door.

"You think anyone heard me….." He growled lowly. "I howled and barked and bellowed, and you wonder if people heard me?" He tried not to get on anyone's nerves, but it irritated him quite a bit that she couldn't see the obvious.

She looked at the floor, "I wasn't sure, I don't hear anyone coming to the door." A look like a little kid asking for forgiveness crossed her face and she looked up at him, "Do you want to leave here before someone comes to check what your howling was for?"

He let out an annoyed sigh. "I don't know, Emmeline… Maybe I should just…. Let things play out…." His tail drooped as he lied down on the bed. "If they find me, they find me…. And if they don't, well…. Lucky me."

"No," She shook her head, "I'm not letting you die, trust me when I say if they find us that I'll be dead before you." She stood up and stretched her arms out, starting to hum softly.

"…But they aren't looking to kill an innocent human being…." Miles whimpered, putting his head down. "Unless you force yourself… And as much as you don't want me to die, I don't want you to die either…."

She sat down on the bed and scooted close to Miles, "If they found us, and you were still hurt or even if you were better, the first thing I would do is fight, because you are more important than me in my eyes. You didn't choose to be a werewolf, or be hunted, so I'll protect you."

Miles just whined. He knew she was right, that he didn't choose to be what he was and that she would protect him. And I can't even stand up for myself like this…. He put his hands over his snout in shame. "I'm such a miserable person…."

Emmeline shook her head and leaned against him, "You're not though," she said softly, starting to him again.

Miles' tail swayed slowly. "But I am at the same time…." I could've stayed at my cabin…. We both could've carried out a nice life…. But then again, most of those towns were supporting the hunting of werewolves…. He sighed. "I just need my leg to heal so I can worry less about this issue…"

"It'll heal the fastest if you let it rest…but we don't have the time to let it heal." She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck, "We could just stay here until it healed, but there's the possibility that we could get caught."

"How could they find out?" Miles muttered. "They can't just… Break into our room, can they?" They better not… "Besides…. I know a few days sounds like a lot, but it's better than a week…."

Emmeline shrugged, "I don't know if they can break in..but I'll go crazy if I have to stay in this room for more than a few days." She looked around the room and put her head in her hands, groaning for a little bit before stopping and looking back up.

"Then we can head out tomorrow…. It's not like it's against the law or anything….." Miles shifted, still laying on the bed with the blanket over him. "If you really want…" Perhaps leaving would actually be the best choice…. Staying in one place is a risky move…

"We can stay, you need to heal." She said, laying down and rolling onto her side, "I'll find some way to handle it going insane."

"Maybe you can take a walk," He suggested. "I'm the one who needs to stay anyways." Miles tucked his arms under his body and lied there on his growling stomach. Although it is getting quite stuffy in here…

Emmeline nodded, "Sure, do you want to take a walk right now?" She sat back up and glanced at him, "I can go get some more food if you want."

"Well…. Erm…." I thought you were the one taking the walk…. "I didn't anticipate that I was going with you…" Miles rolled over and glared at her.

"Oh, nevermind then." She said, standing up and looking at him, "I thought you said you were coming with. Do you want me to buy more food?" She glanced at the door and waited for him to answer.

"I mean…. Sure thing…" Miles snuggled into the bed. "I've been laying here practically since we got here. I can stay."

She nodded, feeling bad that Miles had to stay here while she went out, "You should get up and walk around the room a little so that you don't get sore muscles." She said, opening the door, "I'll be right back, don't die."

Don't die…. Her words echoed, almost like some sort of mockery. What makes you think I'll kill myself?… Once she was gone, he got off the bed, which made the floor creak. Every limping step he took made the wood bend. I shouldn't move… Yet I hate sore muscles…

She sighed as she walked out of the inn, stepping into the town and just wandering around. She kept a sharp eye out for anyone that looked like a hunter, letting her mind wander slightly as she walked.
