<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa was still unsure about Nanook’s sanity. But something deep inside her made her trust him. Sane or not, she felt that he was being sincere. And that he really wanted to help her get rid of the ‘other one’. At least in his own way. And well… was she really in a position to reject help? No, she wasn’t. Of that, Marissa was sure. She had to do whatever it took to get rid of the worst part of herself, and to be able to live her life in full.<br/><br/>Until the night of full moon, though, she tried not to think too much about all that. She had to work, after all, and live her life. And that she did during the week. Due to the capricious nature of her fate, though, it was exactly in the night of the full moon that her counterpart decided to show up. She should have known better, of course. The other one had always wanted to bug her and ruin any plans she could ever make. <br/><br/>Shortly after saying she was waiting, Mari - or the other one who lived inside her - felt that ball of fur jump on her. With a groan, she fell to the floor, muttering a dirty word Mari would have never used in her normal state. <br/><br/>She knew some of what was in Mari’s mind, but she didn’t believe werewolves were a thing. She was sure ‘dummy’, as she sometimes referred to Mari, was being deceived. Again. But apparently, this time she wasn’t.<br/><br/>Trying to push herself up was useless, and yet she did try. After she was bitten, though, and the creature didn’t let go, she stopped trying to push herself up and started punching the floor in pain. That would last until the pain and blood loss caused her to go limp. Her eyes closed, but before they did, the expression changed. It was the Marissa Nanook had met that had suffered the last few seconds of that nearly unbearable pain.</div>
