Second Loop
Feb. 4th, 2012 09:11 pmThe pain was gone, though his body still felt in shock, and for a moment the dying light of of the day and the distant rooftops and the waving grass didn't even register.
What was happening. What was happening.
Fucking hell, he knew what was happening. Again. Again.
He knew what happened next, what he'd see if he turned, what would happen if he froze.
No, no no, not again. He could feel his frame trembling, the tawny little limbs of a six year old on the small side of his peers. He wasn't, though. He wasn't a six year old being faced with evil for the first time. He'd walked with that evil for the next twenty years, he wouldn't let it paralyze him now, though it would be incredibly easy to.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and instead of turning, he ran, arms and legs pumping, eyes narrowed against the grass whipping at his face. Not toward the woods- he veered. He didn't know if he was heading for the house but he did know he was heading away from Greyback, and the man had yet to transform. He was still going to be faster than Remus, but he would damned if he would just stand there and wait for it.
Not again.
