Mickey found himself sprinting towards two scents that were close, one female one male he could tell one was now moving away the other standing still he hurled himself into the clearing and towards the girl sliding to a stop in front of her, his huge chest heaving condensation coming from his nostrils with his hot  breath, his crystal blue eyes boring into her, he was unmistakable like him, yet he was far more in control than he was.<br/><br/>Mickey felt his head cock to the side and the lips on his nozzle twitch, he felt himself looking at her, wanting to speak, but knowing he couldn't a small ruble came from his chest not treating but more an attempt to talk to her, the red haze that had taken him over was at the lowest it had been since he transformed, he looked the girl up and down with a flick of his eyes and to the cigarette in her hand, he felt a pang of want for the stick.<br/><br/>Mickey slowly took a step forward and sniffed at her scent, she didn't look like she belonged here, but she smelt like she did, his human brain was trying to figure it out, but it felt sluggish, were as his animal brain was on alert, where had the other scent gone, why had she not ran away these questions played with his mind yet he felt he knew the answer but his brain wasn't working properly.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">My myâ€¦.you are a big oneâ€¦arenâ€™t you?â€ she smirked, putting her cigarette out on the heel of her boot and pocketing the bud, littering and all that was bad. When he leaned in to sniff her she smirked â€œYou are new, huh? Fresh off the farm as they sayâ€ said as she sniffed him back. â€œHmmâ€¦letâ€™s try and get you to talk...â€ she said, then focusing at him she thought to him, *Whatâ€™s your name?*</span><br/><br/>â€œMy myâ€¦.you are a big oneâ€¦arenâ€™t you?â€ she said with a smirk, Mickey was unsure, he hadn't actually seen himself yet, he knew he stood tall to her but, he wasn't sure how tall she was with his current brain power<br/><br/>Mickeys eyes widened as he heard her voice in his head, he jumped back and whimpered in surprise, but after a few moments stepped forward once more looking at her with intensity â€œmickey, my name is Mickey O'Neilâ€ he said it had an odd feeling and for some reason he was sure she had heard him, this came as a shock to think he could talk to others via thoughts, this was all a bit crazy, but it was the least crazy thing to happen to him recently.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œAlright. You are big but not dumb, thatâ€™s a plusâ€ she said as she smiled to him, *How long have you been like this?* she asked him, kicking over her bag to take a seat on it. </span><br/><br/>â€œalright, your big but not dumb, that's a plus she said to him before talking inside his head once more, he still found this an odd experience, â€œmickey focused on her once more â€œa few days, I'm not sure, wasn't completely hereâ€ he said hoping she would understand what he meant by that.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">*Can you turn back? Do you remember what you looked like human?* she asked him, taking out a piece of deer jerky from her jacket pocket and handed it to him. It had been the first thing she bought when she got off the bus, one of her favorite snacks.</span><br/><br/>Mickey looked at her thinking he could remember what he looked like, but couldn't figure out how to turn back, he focused his thoughts on her â€œI can remember what I look like, but I'm unsure how to turn backâ€, Mickey took the deer jerk lightly from her hand between his teeth and chewed down on it, his huge eyes rolling from the flavour, he loved deer jerk, â€œthank youâ€ he thought to herâ€<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Eryan smiled, â€œYou are welcome,â€ she sighed running her fingers through her hair â€œWellâ€¦you have to likeâ€¦think about yourself. Your human form and justâ€¦.become you againâ€ she sighed. â€œSherman was so much better at this than me,â€ she said aloud to herself mostly. â€œSo, just try and be you again. It is not going to be pleasant but you canâ€™t stay all big and furry forever,â€ she said trying to encourage<br/>him as much as she could.</span><br/><br/>Mickey followed her instructions thinking about himself, how he used to look his arms his hair, his legs, he took some deep calming breaths, he felt a sharp crack in his back, and let out a whimper, the shift of the bone had broken his concentration, he took more deep calming breathes and closed his eyes thinking hard about who he was, with each crack he whimpered but his mind became clearer and it  became easier to think of himself, but the same was true for the pain, he could focus on that more<br/><br/>Mickey fell to the floor snow covering his face as he nashed his jaws in pain, he felt the tingle run threw his body, each limb in turn, and after a small while a lot of pain and whimpers, he found himself laying in the snow in the clothes he had changed in days ago still in perfect condition panting for breath, the pain was gone, but he was still coated in sweat, he slowly pulled himself to his feet rising to his full 6ft 6 inch, he slowly looked up at her  with the same crystal blue eyes, â€œthank you he panted out at herâ€ his breath was still short, his thick British accent coming out, with the remaining twang of his pikey ancestry in there, he used the water from the snow to sweep his hair out of his face and gave her a small grin.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œSwear the others are going to think I did this on purpose,â€ she said with a chuckle as she stood, offering him her hand, â€œThe name is Eryan. Nice to meet you Mikey, if the others ask you I did not pick you up and like rape you. You found me. Understood?â€ she said to him.</span><br/><br/>Mickey chuckled and took her hand and gave her a wink â€œbeautiful name for a beautiful girl, and don;t worry, I'll tell them I found you, who exactly are they?â€ he asked feeling good to be his normal self once more.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"The pack," she said with a grin as she bent down to grab up her bag and shoulder it again. "My family," she starts to walk, "Come along sexy we need to get there before it gets dark," her tone teasing as she led the way.</span>
