Kendra nodded.  "Thank you. I could use some sleep."  She was glad he was not pushing her tonight, about her troubles.  Sleep was more important than anything  right now.  It was kind of him to take her in, despite the danger to himself and who ever else lived in the big old house.<br/><br/>She closed the door and took her clothing off.  There was a soft nightgown amongst the clothing he offered.  She hated to put it on without a bath, sleep was overcoming her.  As soon as her head hit the pillow she fell into a restless sleep.  In her dreams she is taking lunch to her grandma, through the dark wood.  She was chased by a big wolf. When it caught up with her, the wolf was not Diego, but her own inner wolf.  He said "I will consume your soul until all that makes you you is gone."<br/><br/>Kendra woke in a cold sweat, with a short startled cry.  It was only a dream, but it represented her greatest fear.  She feared that she would lose her humanity a piece at a time.  She feared that she would become like Diego, who was more animal than man.  The room was dark and an alarm clock flashed four A.M.  She lay back down into a fitful sleep.
