Us and Them

Gavin: slipped his arms around her

She stayed close to him.

Gavin: mindlessly twirled her hair around his finger

"I love you."

Gavin: Love you too.

"I know."

Gavin: just nodded in reply

Esmerelda looked over at Lucy as she suddenly doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach.

Gavin: looked at her instantly worried What's the matter? What's wrong?

"Daddy it hurts..." Lucy told him as she started crying in pain, not knowing that her werewolf side was actually starting to awaken.

Esmerelda looked at him. "I was hoping you would tell me."

Gavin: frowned deeply and knelt beside Lucy Where sweetie? What does it feel like?

"In my tummy....Like something is ripping me in two." She started sobbing. "Make it stop daddy."

Gavin: sat on the floor pulling her into his lap and smoothing her hair I know it does but I can't baby...it's the puppy side of you wanting to come out and show how she looks. If you let her do that it won't hurt so much...I'm here to help you

"Why does it hurt so much daddy?"

Gavin: It's only your first time and it's very new for you. It'll hurt less and less each time. Whatever you do don't fight to stop it okay? he told her softly rocking her in his arms

Lucy nodded and she ended up screaming in pain everytime a shattering crack sounded from her bones breaking in order to change into that of a wolfs.

Gavin: held her closer to him smoothing her hair and just whispering softly to her about how great she was doing and that she'd be alright soon

She slowly started to shift into a wolf and when it was over, she was a cute little grey wolf pup who curled up on his lap whimpering in pain.

Esmerelda had left long before Lucy had finished her shift.

Gavin: smiled lightly gently smoothing her fur Hey there little one, can you hear me?

She looked at him, before she caught the scent of a vampire - Esmerelda - and she automatically went on the hunt.

Gavin: Lucy no! he shouted after her jumping to his feet and following after her

Lucy had found Esmerelda outside and she stalked her, before suddenly lunging and ending up in the water when Esmerelda dodged.

Gavin: when he reached them he dove into the water and grabbed Lucy around the waist No no we don't attack Esme we love her. he sighed petting her wet fur

Lucy growled at Esmerelda.

Gavin: knelt down and set Lucy on his lap Calm down
