Lofgren's blood was running hot. Stellan had stripped and transformed, following Blue at a brisk pace. It wasn't the smart move but it was the one that was going to keep Blue alive. The hackles along Stellan's back rose as Lofgren turned on him, snarling and ready to sink his teeth into Stellan's thick black fur. As the gigantic alpha lunged at him, Stellan stood his ground, intent on distracting if only for a short while. Lofgren wasn't going to kill him. He knew this, regardless of how deep the alpha's canines sank into the tough skin around his throat. He was too valuable, but Blue was simply novelty. Better to put himself in harm's way than to allow a revved up Lofgren to dirty the human's soft skin with his fingers.<br/><br/>Blue had divested himself of his jeans, palming the pill before stuffing the denim away in a bush. Another pocket of scent, hopefully something else to distract Lofgren for just long enough. As he continued to sprint through the woods, the young man stumbled upon a shallow river winding through the trees. Only a few inches deep, perhaps more creek than anything, but it was enough. Blue knelt down in the water, laying himself out flat on the hard, rocky floor. The sharp rocks hurt his bare knees but he didn't care. He splashed water all over his body, washing away the sweat and dirt, hopefully any obvious remnants of smell. It wouldn't be enough to trick Lofgren completely, werewolves' noses were stronger than the snouts of the best hunting dogs, but perhaps the game would please the disgusting monster in some strange way.<br/><br/>Dripping from head to toe, Blue stood once more, preparing to move when he heard a suspicious rustling. Frozen, Blue's eyes--wide and terrified with blown-out black centers--peered around, searching. Lofgren couldn't have caught up with him this quickly, could he have? Were all of Blue's distractions for naught? He began to slowly step, feet light on the dirt, until he saw it. A brief flash of light fur.<br/><br/>"Sig?" he hissed, crouching low. "Sig, is that you? How did you find me?" Blue's face sank, his mouth turned down into a devastated silent cry. "It's too easy, isn't it? You found me and he's gonna be here any second. Fuck, Sig, fuck!"
