His sudden pace away from her had her eyes following him, but not moving completely to follow him. …At least, she didn’t follow him fully until his shirt was suddenly stripped off, talk of “showing” her what he was talking about scaring her a bit. He’d not even done anything yet, and her heart was already beginning to pick up pace.<br/><br/>Something on his chest caught her eye, though, glancing down and her heart sped up all the more. A cross was on his chest, but not in the usual way she was used to seeing…No, it was burned in, scorched into the flesh, the scar garish and deep into his skin. Her mouth gaped in horror as she continued to trace over it, not even fazed when he stepped behind the chair and pushed his shorts down. Whatever he’d said wasn’t heard, as her heart continued to pick up pace.<br/><br/>…Then everything went downhill from there.<br/><br/>His chest, the point at which she’d continued to stare in shock at, was now heaving; Much like her own, in fact, though her breaths were somehow deeper than his own. Had it remained at breaths, she’d have thought he was playing a joke on her, trying to pull the wool over her eyes to keep her distracted from finding out the true reasoning for his absence. But, it didn’t stay at that. No…it got worse.<br/><br/>Much worse.<br/><br/>The sound of bones breaking, snapping and cracking as he fell had her gasping in horror, heart going a mile a minute as the monitor’s beeps began to go crazy. She started to move in the bed, wanting to get out and help him, but her motions halted. Chair pushed out of the way, she got a full view of what was happening, and felt frozen in place. Everything was changing, arching, elongating, growing. At one point, she wanted to close her eyes, to shut it out and pretend it wasn’t happening.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">This isn’t real! This isn’t happening! Eidhin isn’t a werewolf! He isn’t changing! This is a nightmare you have to wake up from!</span>her mind screamed at her, even as her eyes remained wide, watching the entire transformation for what it was. She couldn’t force herself to look away, tears falling silently as her heart continued to hammer, her breaths short as she just stared.<br/><br/>And when he stood, when he took a step toward her, she didn’t flinch. She didn’t turn away. More tears fell from her eyes as she tried to speak and failed, biting hard on her lip to keep from letting out a loud sob; It was already bad enough that the monitors were screaming, but to burst out in loud, choking cries wouldn’t help the situation.<br/><br/>A hand, shaky, reached toward him. Everything else about him wasn’t right, but his eyes…even if they were now attached to a wolf, another being entirely…they remained the same.<br/><br/>“…Eidhin…” she managed to sob out, shaking and trembling in the bed as she wanted him to come closer. The thought of what this meant for her had yet to sink in; For the time being…she was solely focused on her brother and what had happened to him, what he was, and if she could fix it.
