Sam didn't respond verbally at first and instead placed his hand over hers on his cheek and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. When he finally pulled back, he kept his forehead pressed against hers. "Yeah, I guess if we are healthier, we will live longer. I'm sure we can learn how to control this. It might be a while before we can lead a normal life, but I think we can do it."

Sam reluctantly pulled his head away from her so he could finish his pizza, but he still held her close. "So, I guess after your semester is over, we should make plans for how to figure out this werewolf form. We could spend a few days at a time camping in the wilderness and practicing control, then come back here just to make sure everything is okay and keep in touch with our friends. No matter what, we are going to need to spend a lot of time in the forest."

"Its the perfect plan cause if we left without saying anything our friends might get suspicious and would try to come looking for us" she shivered and rubbed her arms. "I don't want anyone of them to see what we became and if we have no control over what happens in our transform phase, we might actually attack them and make them turn as well" she said looking at Sam. "I don't want that to happen"

"Yeah...or worse." Sam commented, shuddering at the thought of accidentally killing any of his friends. Or anyone, for that matter. He finished off his pizza, then set his plate aside. "Our first priority should be gaining control of our new abilities, of course, but after that, I am wondering what we should do. I mean, if werewolves are something that are actually real, then what else is there in the world we don't know about? I wonder if there is a way we could go about finding other werewolves? I mean, I would have no idea how to begin. If we didn't know about them before, then it is obvious they are very secretive. Maybe...maybe they will end up finding us?" Sam suggested, his expression turning slightly worried.

"Maybe, maybe when we go out there we train and try looking cause if we already saw one who changed us there is bound to be more, I was thinking there might be an entire pack full of them cause there are some cases they are always in packs since they have the same problems aka humans finding out about them, the transformations etc. So it would make sense" she said thinking hard about it. "Should we give it a try love, try finding others werewolves that can maybe help us"

Sam nodded. "Definitely, though I hope that werewolf didn't have a pack. It doesn't seem like it did, otherwise it wouldn't have been alone. A pack would probably always hunt together. Also, it seems like werewolves would want to avoid hunting Humans if they wanted to keep their existence secret. Maybe the werewolf that attacked us was crazed or something? Maybe an outcast? In any event, if we ever do find other werewolves, they would certainly be able to help us learn how to keep control. As long as they are friendlier than the one that attacked us, of course."

"Hmm it could be very much possible but its hard to tell until we start searching, If that werewolf was crazy it must have been ingoring its own instincts" she said thinking about that also "But like I said we have to wait and see" she said kissing him before standing. "I am going to shower ok" she said before going down the hall to her room to get her some clothes for the night before entering the bathroom

"Let's just hope we don't lose control like that one did. If we do...well we better make sure we are near the forest at the time. I would much rather wake up with the blood of a dead animal in my mouth than a dead person." Sam commented. When Stevie stood up, he put away their plates, then followed her into her room. By this point, he was acutely aware of the foul scents in the apartment...as well as on himself. All of that time in the forest had definitely not made him any cleaner. He took a few sniffs of the air. "I definitely think you were right on this place's scent. While I'm buying groceries tomorrow, I'll also pick up some extra cleaning supplies. I'll also get in the shower after you...or maybe I should just join you in this one?" He said with an amused chuckle.

"I wouldn't mind getting in the shower with you" Stevie sad with a smirk kissing him on the lips before getting up and heading toward her bedroom before stopping short of the room. "Say Sam, I think we should move our rooms together since we are dating I would love to sleep in your arms every night" she said before walking into her room to get her shower things like she always did

(The intimate/slash beast scene in PM)

Stevie looked at him finally back in her human form tears in her eyes "Its ok we didn't see this coming my love" she said holding his hand gently, she was till in somewhat of what I happened in the bathroom but not in too much pain "I am not all that hurt just sore from what happened to my body and what just happened on the floor we are currenly laying on...it was strange though...they had no urge to kill...it was like...they were responding to our desires...to our emotions but treated our emotions as instincts like a normal animal" she said in shock and in wonder.

Sam took Stevie's hand and looked at it for a few moments before reaching over to his other side and turning off the shower. There was so much going through his mind, so much he had to worry about, but at least he didn't have to fear Stevie being hurt, or angry. He wrapped both of his arms around her and buried his face in her shoulder. He could not help but to cry, nor was he ashamed about it. No one should have to go through what they were going through. He needed her support just as much as she needed his. "We need to find some way to control this, Stevie. Just...losing control of my body like that is..terrifying. What if next time we end up killing someone? I'm, just...I'm afraid."

"Me too my love. Perhaps after the exams we tell our friends that we're going home but the truth is that we will go the forest and try to figure this out...I was so terrified when you suddenly transformed and then I did as well I never felt so scared as I was just watching what was happening and unable to control myself" she said holding to her boyfriend her soreness still there. "We will get through this I know we will" she said looking at Sam in the eye, her eyes showing no anger or anything just pure determination in them.

Sam nodded in understanding, taking in deep breaths. "I know, it's just..it's a frightening prospect is all. We should just get some rest. I think we both need it." Sam stood up off the floor and cleaned himself off a bit before leaving the bathroom. He was sore from the transformation and overall exhausted. He did not bother getting dressed and instead just walked over and sat on Stevie's bed. After all they had been through, he just wanted to hold her in his arms, to relax and know that everything was going to be okay.

Stevie nodded and got up going to her room wincing with each step she could before getting on the bed with Sam snuggling into him trying to ignoring the massive pain she was in from the transformation and from what happened on the bathroom floor, her body was trembling in the pain and in the fear she was currently feeling on the inside physically and mentally. She nuzzled him and took in his scent trying to keep herself calm and try not to cry.

When Stevie laid down beside him, Sam held on tightly to her. He could feel her trembling, indicating that she was in more pain than himself. Everything about this situation made him feel powerless. He couldn't do anything to help her; he could hardly even control his own body. How long was it going to be before they lost control in a public place? All of it made him afraid, but at least for now, he had the comfort of holding Stevie in his arms. After what seemed like hours, he finally closed his eyes and managed to get to sleep.

Over the next few days has been a blurr to Stevie has she kept her cool about what had happened and studied for hr exams. She was currently exiting out of her classes after finishing the exams. She went to a private place and sat down her eyes brimming with tears as her mind went to that night her fear coming back into her mind. After a few moments she stood up and finally exited the school grounds going back to her apartment she shared with her boyfriend and sat down on the couch not bothering to do anything but just sit there

There was little Sam could do over the few days of Stevie's exams, other than just trying to avoid any stimulus that might agitate any of his emotions. Fear, anger, anything that he worried his beast might latch on to was something he tried to avoid. Still, it had been days, so he knew well that his beast could come out at any moment. He tried to help Stevie study as much as he could, but since he had not been taking her classes, he was of limited use. Otherwise, he just maintained their apartment so she could concentrate on studying. He cleaned the house completely about three times just to get out all the scents they kept picking up on.

When Stevie arrived home, Sam wasn't sure how to feel. It was a relief that they had managed to make it until after her exams, but now, they needed to focus on controlling their lycanthropy, something Sam had been dreading. As far as he was concerned, he would be happy if he never took on that form again, but it was, unfortunately, unavoidable. They needed to confront it at some point. Sam sat down beside Stevie and put his arm around her. He knew the past few days had been difficult for her, and he wanted to comfort her, but he wasn't sure how much help he could be when he needed comfort himself. Not a moment went by that he wasn't afraid of becoming the same monster he had been a few nights prior.

"So, that was your last final, right? How do you think you did?" He asked.

She leaned on him "I think I did well" she said looking at him before snuggling into him her mind very much troubled and distressed about what had happened between them "I already told my friends about our fake plans so we can leave sometime soon and they wont know where we are truly going" she said looking at her boyfriend again. "Its hard you know that something like that could really happened I thought they only responded to blood lust but I guess I was wrong" she shivered and curled up against Sam

Sam nodded in understanding as he held Stevie close to him, enjoying her presence, but at the same time being frightened about their future. "I know, I wish we never had to take on those forms again. I wish there was a way we could just suppress them and never have to worry about it, but...I doubt that is possible. Like it or not, we're going to have to learn how to stay in control of these beasts. After...what happened a few days ago, there were a few moments just before I transformed back where I gained control of my actions. I could move around the werewolf body just like it was my own, so I know it is possible. We just...we need to figure out how to be able to do that all the time. Even if we can't stop the transformations from happening, we can at least try to stay in control."

She nodded in agreement "I agree right there I felt the same when we were transformed my body was moving like I was in control for the first time, I think we should try looking fo other werewolves and see if they can somehow help us with this, cause if we do this alone it will probably get worst and there will be a lot of pain but if we train under another werewolf it wont be as bad" she said

"I agree, but I still have no idea how to go about finding them." Sam responded, his tone discouraged. "I mean, I doubt just randomly running through the woods would help us find them, even with our senses being this strong. There might not even be any more of them in the forest we were in. I don't know, maybe if we keep going out there to practice, one of them will eventually find us after a few weeks or months? We really don't know much about their society, so if they do find us, I hope they are peaceful."
