Dean was quiet for a while as they walked. The more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea of being a werewolf. Instead of just being the quiet guy in the back who secretly knew he ws better than everyone else, he was now a person to be feared. He was powerful and dangerous. I bet the werewolf girls are a little more wild, too, he thought. If all the girls were as hot as Pearl, he couldn't wait to meet them.
Finally they reached a clearing near a fallen log, and Dean saw his clothes and wand in a heap. His clothes were torn, but his wand was intact, so he used a mending spell to fix his robes, then got dressed.

Zander nodded at Dean. "Hey, look, my stuff should be pretty close to here," he said. "Why don't you just wait here, I'll be right back." Then he walked back to where he had transformed. His clothes were in shreds, so he used his wand to fix them and got dressed quickly. Then he leaned against a tree for a minute, finally allowing himself to think about what had happened. He still couldn't believe that he had bitten Dean. He had sworn to himself that he'd never turn anyone. He didn't want to be like Greyback, making tons of pups to do his bidding.
He had lost control and Dean had just been in the way. There was no other way around it. He hated himself for it, but Pearl was right. Guilt wasn't going to get him anywhere. He just had to make the best of the situation. Sighing, he pulled back from the tree and headed back to where Dean was waiting. "OK, you ready? Let's meet back up with Pearl and the kids."

"Yeah, OK," said Dean. He followed behind Zander as he wound his way back through the woods . "Hey, um... about Kris and Remus... did you turn them, too? How'd they get to be werewolves?"

Zander shook his head. "No, I didn't turn them. They were both bitten by Fenrir Greyback. He's the one who turned me, too, actually. Most of the members of my pack were bitten by Greyback... they just turned against him because of his alliance with Voldemort."

Dean frowned. "So, what... they don't like Voldemort?"

"No," Zander replied. "He was just trying to use them to attack people that went against him. But he didn't respect them or care about their needs. He treated them like animals. I don't do that. We''ve been fighting against Greyback and Voldemort. We even stopped what could have been a terrible attack on Diagon Alley."

Oh, great, Dean thought. Just my luck... looks like I had to be turned by a bunch of do-gooder werewolves... "That's cool," he lied. "I bet a lot of people really appreciated that you helped like that."

"Well, we didn't exactly get the credit for it," Zander said. "But that's OK. That's not why we did it. We just wanted to prevent people from getting killed."

"Oh," said Dean. He didn't say anything else for a while. He just walked along and thought about things. He had always wanted to be a Death Eater, to work with Voldemort and further his cause. But he wouldn't be able to do that while working with Zander and his pack. Or could he?

Zander wasn't concerned when Dean became quiet. He knew that it was all a lot to take in at first, and he didn't want to push the kid. So they walked in silence for a while, until Zander heard voices up ahead. He stopped and listened for a minute, until he realized that it was Kris and Remus. He walked up to them and put his arm around Pearl. "OK, we're ready," he said. "Hey, Kris, Remus. Everything OK?" He noticed that they both looked a little tense.

Kris stayed silent for a while as she thought. "I need to talk to my dad, I... have some questions for him." She said quietly. "His story of why he sent me away doesn't seem to fit."

Pearl had remained quite until this point, she put a hand on Kris's shoulder and said "I believe, you have to find what's in your heart, before you can talk to your father. What my sire, our sire says, is tainted by anger, jealousy and greed." she knelt to be at Kris's height, "Don't question your true nature." she stood and looked at Zander, communicating that they would have to watch her, she made rash decisions. Pearl looked to her newest pup, she stepped away from Zander and embraced him, she wanted to feel how he reacted, to know what kind of wolf he made. She noticed his scent, it was like burned oak wood, but a touch coppery. It was a strange scent.

Zander watched as Pearl talked to Kris, then embraced the new pup. He wasn't sure what to make of Dean yet... something about him didn't seem right. Again he regretted what he had done. He sighed. "Well, I guess we should hurry up and get back. Chloe and the others must be wondering what happened to us."

Pearl released her hold on the pup and went to Zander, she'd be able to really tell him later about this pup. Pearl could already see some problems on the horizon. This pup was headstrong and base in nature. She hoped maybe she was wrong, but the look in his heavy lidded eyes didn't sit well in her sight.

Zander gave Pearl a tired smile, and slipped his hand in hers. He felt more tired than usual after a full moon; he supposed it was from the strain of the attack. Quietly he began to lead the way through the woods in the direction of the town.

Remus slipped his hand in Kris's. "Pearl's right," he said in a low voice. "You shouldn't doubt yourself. I know you're a good person, because when you had the chance to turn me in and save yourself, you refused. Sometimes you might have doubts, but I think, deep down, your instincts are right. You should go with that."

"I guess, but I'm not going back to the school or camp, no matter what anyone says... I don't want to put anyone in danger." Kris whispered keeping her eyes on the ground.

Remus was getting annoyed again. "And so, what? Are you saying that I am putting people in danger by going to school? Because I'm not going to quit school. I want to have a normal life, or at least, as close to one as I can. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore can work something out for you, like he did me."

"Geez, Remus, why do you turn everything I say to be about you? If you keep doing that then I wont say anything more to you." Kris let go of his hand then crossed her arms. "I just state how I feel about being a werewolf and you turn it to be about you." She shook her head not looking at him.

"Because I was a werewolf long before you were," Remus said. "I understand what it's like a lot more than you do. I only consider myself a danger to anyone one night a month. The rest of the time, I'm just like anyone else. And I think you're making a mistake by trying to hide yourself away. You have a chance to go to school, and you shouldn't turn your back on that. Besides, Sirius would miss you."
