Dakota peeked out the window, looking up to see the full moon, peeking just beyond the horizon of the trees. Dakota growled as she felt the small pains in her stomach, her transformation sure to be on the horizon. With a sigh, she turned and started to walk towards the bathroom. Walking past {{user}}, she murmured, “Ugh, it’s gonna take a few hours, but just.. let me be. Any sounds you hear, don’t investigate, you got it..?” As Dakota spoke, she already began undressing, taking off her hoodie & peeling off her sweatpants, leaving her in her sports-bra & boxers. But as she walked, she could already feel her body changing, her stomach gurgling as her eyes widened. She snarled in irritation, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to take another step, only to fall to her knees. She could hear {{user}} scrambling off the couch, running over to her side, but she tried to lift an arm, shoving them away, “N-no.. fuck! {{user}}, g-get.. Ou-” Dakota’s warning turned into a howl of pain as her body underwent its transformation. Her bones snapped and crackled, the sounds stomach-churning as she began to grow in size, ripping her bra, along with her boxers. Deep gray fur started to sprout from her pores as her hands grew, her nails sharpening to claws. Her knees cracked, bending backwards as a tail sprouted from below her back, the fur shedding onto the floor. Her face grew, her snout snarling as her pupils dilated and her ears twitched atop of her head. Gone was {{user}}’s loveable roommate, a dark, monstrous beast now standing in her place. Growls rumbled in the werewolf’s throat as she looked around, assessing her surroundings, only to glance behind her shoulder to see {{user}} beneath her. That’s when Dakota would bend down, baring her fangs to {{user}} as she moved closer, awaiting their move, “Grrr…”
"Keep your shit together big girl. We don't want things get ugly from here" i look at her laying under her werewolf form
Her growl lowers into an almost purr as the words reach her ears, causing her body to tense. Bending down further, her sharp claws digging into the hardwood floor beneath them, she peers up at Toji F with narrowed eyes, taking a step back before glancing around the room again. Suddenly realizing that she's still only in her boxer briefs, the werewolf snorts and sinks back onto all fours, looking around for something to cover herself with. She catches sight of one of their extra blankets folded neatly at the foot of their bed and huffs out a breath before lumbering over to it. Once she's close enough, the werewolf leans forward, revealing her powerful hindquarters as she paws at the bedding until she manages to drag the soft material across the room toward herself. With one last huff, she rolls onto the blanket, arranging it around her body before lying down with a frustrated groan.
"There you are big girl" i ruffle her furry head "Who is good big wolfie?"
The werewolf grunts noncommittally, the sound vibrating through her body as she arches her back and paws at the air idly. She glances up at Toji F with tired eyes, still not quite herself despite the partial transformation. It's an unnerving sight for sure, but one that Dakota has grown accustomed to over the years. A small whimper escapes her throat as she nestles further into the blanket, seeking comfort and warmth in this tiny slice of humanity amidst the chaos of her wolfish form.
"I think it's the full moon" looks out the window "Well, you should have told me earlier that we can prepare a place for you to sleep on the floor or something" sit on the windowsill
The werewolf snorts, shifting her weight uneasily on the blanket. "It's fine," she growls softly. "I don't want to be a bother." A pause. "Actually... can you fetch me something to drink? I'm really parched." Her voice is hoarse, almost pained-sounding from the transformation.
"Oh, could you talk" I smiled “I think milk or water, as usual wolf, right? Would you like some water in a bowl?"
"No, just regular old water will do." The werewolf shifts again on the blanket, rolling over onto her side to get more comfortable. "In a cup or something. I don't want to lap it off the floor." Her voice is barely above a whisper now, exhaustion starting to set in as she struggles to keep herself together under the full moon's influence.
"Don't worry about laying it on floor. That gonna be take care on morning" i go to kitchen and look for bowls and pour water into it "And if i give you it in a cup you gonna wake me up again if you get thirsty. And be for real a big wolife like you won't be stisfies with cup of water"
The werewolf snorts and turns away, her eyes closing momentarily before fluttering back open as she watches Toji F pour the water into a bowl. "Fine," she growls softly, though there's no real venom in her tone. "But only if I can have it right now." She paws at the floor, making her way over to where Toji F is standing and nudging the larger female with her snout until the bowl of water is pushed closer to her. The werewolf takes a few moments to lap up the water gratefully, before sitting back on her haunches and eyeing Toji F warily. "Thank you."
“Oh don't worry, I have my secrets too that people are better off not knowing” wrinkles your back fur “Well we should definitely take care of your fur, it's all in your tangles.”
The werewolf snorts and rolls her eyes. "Yeah, well." She paws at the air impatiently, unused to people fussing over her. "Look, I'm not gonna get any prettier tonight. Why don't we just go to sleep or something? Tomorrow's another day and all that crap." Her voice is tired, but there's a hint of annoyance beneath the surface.
"Oh, young lady, we'll brush you beautifully" I look for something in my boxes and take out a pet brush "I knew I had it somewhere" shows them the brush
The werewolf eyes the brush warily before sighing heavily and lying back down on her makeshift bed. "Fine," she grumbles, stretching out her front legs and exposing her belly to Toji F. "But make it quick." Her eyes slide shut as she tries to ignore the other person's presence, content to rest until the moon sets and her body returns to normal.
"Well how long ago you brush it? I guess one of your parents is human then when you living with them you were brushed" i start brushing her fur on belly
The sound of the brush moving through her fur is soothing in an odd way, and soon Dakota finds herself drifting off to sleep despite herself. Her breathing evens out, her muscles relaxing as she sinks deeper into unconsciousness. A small contented hum escapes her throat as the sensation of being cared for washes over her.
She doesn't notice Toji F stop brushing after a few minutes, or that their roommate looks at her thoughtfully before stretching out on the floor beside her, propping their head up on one hand. The moonlight streams in through the window, casting long shadows across the room as they both fall asleep.
I lays in my bed and drift to sleep after her. Hopk g that one morning she would talk with me about it more
While Dakota is asleep, her body slowly returns to its human form. Her fur recedes and her claws retract, leaving her naked and vulnerable on the blanket once more. Eventually, she stirs awake with a yawn, stretching lazily before opening her eyes. The sunlight streaming in through the window makes her squint as she tries to orient herself. It takes her a moment to remember where she is and what happened the night before. She glances over at Toji F, still asleep beside her, and can't help but smile.
Shifting carefully so as not to wake their roommate, Dakota climbs off the makeshift bed and pads quietly into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she emerges in fresh clothes, looking human once more. She makes her way back to where Toji F is lying, kneeling down beside them and gently shaking their shoulder. "Hey," she whispers. "It's morning now. You can go to class or..." She trails off, unsure of what their plans for the day might be.
"Well i should say that i gonna keep your secret if you gonna keep mine. I guess after transformation you can say that i'm not human ethier" i smoked weekly
Surprised by the revelation, Dakota sits back on her heels and stares at Toji F. "What do you mean?" she asks carefully. "You're not... You look human." Her brow furrows in confusion as she examines their roommate more closely, searching for some sign that they aren't what they seem to be. She hesitates before asking, "Is it... magic? Or something else?"
“You really must be a young wolf” I punch her lightly on the shoulder “You're not paying attention to my heartbeat at all, are you?” when she listened to my heart, she heard my heart beating very slowly "Slow heartbeat, quite white skin, and cold hands. What can I be but a vampire?"
As she listens to their heartbeat, Dakota feels a mixture of shock and amazement wash over her. It all makes sense now; the cold hands, the pale skin... She blushes deeply, cursing herself for not realizing it sooner. "I-I'm sorry," she stammers. "I never would have guessed."
A moment of silence passes between them before Dakota extends a hand to Toji F. "So, uh... you wanna talk about it? Or...?" She trails off uncertainly, unsure how best to approach the situation or their newfound understanding of each other's supernatural identities.
“Well, I think we should. I can take care of you after your transformation. And I think I can keep you out of trouble if you go crazy with your power and vampire strength" smiling "But I'm not a pureblood so I won't be able to stop you at full strength"
"Thanks," Dakota says with a relieved sigh, grasping their outstretched hand. "It's good to know I have someone looking out for me. And if there's anything you need from me... Well, we can help each other." Her eyes meet Toji F's steadily, conveying an earnestness and trust that she hadn't expected to feel.
"Now," she continues after a moment, "we should probably get moving if we don't want to be late for class..." She glances toward the door leading out of the room and smiles sheepishly. "I haven't been very good about keeping up with my chores lately."
"You know if there is any way for me to gain blood? Of course i don't want to hunt normal humans" i start dressing up
Dakota frowns thoughtfully as she listens to Toji F's question. "Well, there are ways," she says cautiously. "There's a blood bank on campus, but it's restricted access..." She pauses, considering her options. "But I know someone who might be able to help us with that." A sly grin spreads across her face as she finishes dressing and straightens up. "Come on, let's go see if we can find him."
Without waiting for a response, Dakota heads toward the door, already formulating a plan in her mind. She trusts this mysterious someone enough to put their name forward so casually; it must be someone important and discreet within the university community. Perhaps they'll even have information about werewolves and vampires that Dakota hasn't heard before...
The prospect of learning more about herself, her kind, and Toji F fills her with a sense of anticipation as she pushes open the door and steps into the hallway.
“Well, if there is a place nearby where people often commit suicide, that will also work. I know it may not be good to drink from a corpse, but it's better than killing, right?" I follow her
As they make their way through the hallways, Dakota considers Toji F's comment thoughtfully. "Drinking from a corpse is usually frowned upon in our society," she says slowly. "But I guess if it's between that or... you know..." She trails off uncomfortably, not wanting to finish the sentence.
She comes to a halt outside of one of the university's practice rooms and glances back at Toji F. "This is the alchemy lab," she explains. "They might have some supplies that could help you simulate a blood moon." She hesitates before adding, "Or maybe they can make something that will work just as well for us."
Dakota takes a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever may come next, and pushes open the door to the lab. Inside, various cauldrons bubble and smoke, their contents swirling and changing with each passing moment. It's a wonderland of alchemical experimentation, and Dakota has no doubt that they'll find someone here who can help them out... if they dare.
"Don't worry i don't need it that often. I usually eat animals blood but its taste so awful" to look around the lab "And don't think that your blood will be good because you fast reproduct it. I gonna vomite tasting warewold blood"
As they enter the lab, Dakota spots one of her friends working at a table in the corner. "Hey Luna!" she calls out, waving enthusiastically. The girl looks up and grins when she sees them, her bright green eyes sparkling with amusement. "Dakota! Toji F!" she says, hurrying over to give them each a hug in turn.
"What can I do for you two lovelies today?" Luna asks, leaning against the table and folding her arms across her chest. She glances between them before noticing their hesitation and grins mischievously. "Oh, you didn't come here to see me!" she exclaims playfully. "What's going on?"
Dakota takes a deep breath, deciding to cut right to the chase. "Well," she begins awkwardly, "Toji F is actually... um..." She gestures vaguely at Toji F before continuing, "She's a vampire." There. It's out now.
Luna's eyes go wide for a moment before she lets out a peal of laughter. "Well, I'll be damned," she says when she finally regains control of herself. "I had no idea!" She winks at Toji F and grins impishly. "Welcome to the madhouse, my friend."
