Konrad was obviously wary of Loretta, she could tell. But she intended no ill will. "If I am to be stuck here, then I might as well make myself of some use." She responded to his questioning look. "I mean you no harm, alpha." But for the moment she didn't do anything, as she knew he had something to say.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œAny reason for the sudden change of heart, MÃ¤dchen? I thought we were monstersâ€¦ Are you willing to help a â€˜monsterâ€™ because he spared you? Interesting.â€</span>No surprise there. The girl expected such a question. After all, someone in her position at the moment would be offering to aid the pack of werewolves like she was. But Alder had parked something inside of her with what he'd said. She might as well try to see things from the view of the wolves now... she was their prisoner, she had nothing else to do.<br/><br/>"I try to see things from the view of others. Let's just say I was being a human back there before, I was stubborn and refusing to see the light of what was right in front of me." Loretta replied. "To a human this tradition of yours would seem barbaric But from a wolf's view, trying to see things the way your pack does... there isn't much more you can do. Being a hunter... only of deer and elk and rabbits, I assure you... I know how difficult it is sometimes to find such prey. I hunt to keep my family alive; as do you. And the ritual...It is honoring the sacrifice's life, isn't it? Or something along those lines... that's what I was thinking. Alder had given me such ideas from what he'd said to me before you returned." She was being honest and answering truthfully. If she was going to be stuck in these wolves, what was the point in thinking them to be enemies anymore? In a way, Alder had broken her stubborn, disobedient side just by what he'd said. Konrad would have broken her physically to the point of weakness, to the point where she couldn't fight anymore. But she would have hated this even more if so.<br/><br/>"If I am going to be trapped here, then why should it be on prisoner terms? Why should we still be enemies?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œVery well, do what you must, if you insistâ€</span><br/><br/>Loretta smiled a little and nodded. She met the alpha's gaze as he looked her in the eyes, unafraid unlike most times before. The disobedience and resistance was gone. Instead, obedience had replaced it, and truthfulness; she meant what she said. She never lied. The girl glanced towards Alder as the boy walked off obediently, then looked back towards Konrad. Now that she was thinking as one of his pack would, trying to take in different views and all, she could see the dominance in his eyes; and it was quite intimidating, her being so close and all... like he could break her like a stick if he wanted to. She concentrated on the task she had set for herself. She gently placed her fingertips over where his heart would be; thinking that concentrating something like that and being able to heal using the blood in his heart... basically assuming that if she could put her healing into his heartbeat in a way, it would go through him and start healing all of his wounds instead of her trying to heal them one at a time.<br/><br/>Loretta felt something stir within her spirit... like an energy that she had never felt before. Her hand began to glow, dully at first then brighter, against the alpha's chest. She could sense that it was working... but it was beginning to become harder and harder as the powers went through him... she could tell some of his wounds were healing up. But it didn't feel right... it was as if something was taking all the energy from her bit by bit. Finally, she couldn't take the strain and the glow weakened and died, the girl just passing out completely afterwards. Her power was too much for her to handle all at once.
