Listening to the girls answer, Zari rolled her eyes and chuckled a little at the human's foolishness. Yes, it wasn't too often such things happened to this particular town unless they went into the woods, but it was still amusing how this human had been so resistant in the idea that she didn't bother to at least listen to the rumors in case they were true. Some were false, yes, but others were in fact true. Use silver or Wolfsroot against a werewolf, or sunlight burning Vampires..

"Well perhaps now you will believe a little more.... Since the very thing you didn't believe in is in your bed." Zari muttered in amusement.

As her blue eyes watched Grace's expected angry reaction, Zari's blue eyes watched the angry slowly transforming human start to shout angrily at her. As she started to grow a bit too loud however, the dark haired woman placed a hand over the red head's mouth to deafen the angry noise.

"Stay quiet or you will alert your guard. If it makes you feel better, my intention was to kill you.. Not to curse you. I simply got distracted in my task. See this is why you don't go wandering in the woods when probably everyone warned you about them. Though I admit the idea of having a fellow of my kind is very tempting." The werewolf spoke in a slight stubborn huff, as if she hadn't done anything wrong and she was in the right in this situation.

Those rumors were spread for a reason... Not her fault she had to live up to them to make a point to curious humans. It was to protect all mythical creatures that were preyed upon often. Sure, they often attacked humans like Fairies stole humans, but humans were still getting more restless. Eager to attack those different and did not care if they wiped out a entire species. Even shunning those of their own kind if they suspected them to be a witch or a Vampire.

As Grace was about to slap her her, Zari glared icily and gave a little growl. Daring her to even try it out of sheer instinct but soon calmed as Grace covered her ears and pleaded for the growling to stop. Sighing a little, she smiled and held the human closer. Gingerly leaning her head closer to the round human earlobe and nibbling all along it.

"Shhh it's okay, just calm down. I'm here.." Zari cooed in such a sweet voice, her lips continuing their comfortly nibbles before chuckling. "The wolf within you is quite attached to me. It is quite hard to fight instincts when your new to it. Careful, or it will drive you mad." she teased.

The dark haired woman covered Grace’s mouth with her hand, to keep her from getting too loud and alerting her guard. Zari told her that she had intended to actually kill her in the first place and not to curse her. The princess’s eyes widened in shock for a moment, before they narrowed again, her emerald glaze still angry.

“Oh yes the fact they you actually planed on killing me! That makes me feel so much better! Zari thank you for that!” She growled angrily against her hand before pulling away and going to slap her.

The growling filled her head with pain, stopping her from hitting the werewolf and she begged Zari to make the growling stop. It made her cry and pull her legs up, trying to make it stop herself. Zari pulled the princess closer into another embrace, and started to nibble softly on her ear. Grace let out a shaky breath, the nibbles on her ear felt oddly good and made her blush.

At Zari’s soft coos the growling slowly softened until it was back to low whimpers. Once it was all over her head was very foggy, and Grace was so tired, she just wanted to go to sleep. Hearing Zari’s words about the ‘wolf’ that was inside her, driving her mad for trying to slap her. Grace bit her lip, as she placed her hands on the dark haired woman chest as if to push her away from her. Instead her hands rubbed down her chest a little bit, until they laid on the bed again.

“You…you can’t just show me affection and…and think that will make what you did to me okay” She said her voice starting out angry and turning soft in the end. Afterwards she let out a loud mmm sound, and blushing deeply again moved her head against Zari.

Closing her tired eyes, Grace was quiet for a few moments before muttering the words. “I want to go to sleep now.” Against her body before her breathing steadied, and she fell asleep in Zari’s embrace.

Humming a little as the red haired woman relaxed in her embrace, the werewolf merely grinned as the human gingerly rubbed down her chest. "You little perv." she teased as she poked Grace's forehead playfully before allowing the human to rest against her as she started drifting off to sleep. Zari listened as the other woman attempted to sound angry, despite blushing and falling asleep in her arms.

Another sigh escaped her lips as she nipped her ear gingerly. "Of course I know.... I wouldn't be here ready to take you if I didn't want to take responsibility. I could just let you get skinned and ridiculed by your family... But no, I plan to steal you away soon. Still, you only have two options now my dear. Either you die, or you live with me. Which you choose is up to you..." she whispered as Grace fell asleep.

Zari didn't really feel tired since she was usually awake during the night, that and she was used to getting up periodically to patrol the woods, but she stayed still to allow Grace to rest. Her fingers petting the soft red hair, while her blue eyes watched the human in her arms then to glance at the door in case for any visitors. Indeed, such a odd predicament. Indeed she would have to figure a way to get Grace out once the wolf in her became stronger. She supposed she could ask the Fairy, though that also may be risky for different reasons. Mhmm perhaps she could plot to fake Grace's death by assassin?

Maybe, but for now she would just enjoy the odd sense of company until the sun broke the horizon.

Even though she was angry Grace couldn’t fight the smile at being called a perv. She hadn’t planned on copping a feel, it just happened, happily. “You started it.” She replied, before continuing being angry.

Soon she was falling asleep in Zari’s arms, just like in her dream, only they were in her bedroom and not the forest. She could hear Zari say she was going to ready to take her away, and the choices she had either die, or live with the werewolf. Though her words were foggy in Grace’s almost completely asleep state.

Grace mutter something softly to Zari at those choices, though it was not understandable, merely a sleeping person’s answer and in the morning she would have to make her choice. Right now though, cuddled up closely to Zari, the princess actually slept better that she had since she was a child.

Grace was woken early in the morning as usually with the sound of her father pounding on her door. In all honesty she was sad that Zari was gone and so was her warm embrace. Even though the werewolf said that she would be gone in the morning, but Grace had hoped that it wasn't the truth. She had't even got to say goodbye, or maybe....give her a shy kiss goodbye. Sighing sadly Grace got up, wrapping a robe around her body, before going to unlock her bedroom door for her father.

While Zari was gone Sapphire flew around the forest looking for her new home, though the only one she thought was more homey was the actually the wounded tree where she had made her deal with the wolfy. Using her magic the fairy healed the tree to always brand new, moving her stuff here, by the time she was finished it was morning time.

Sighing she quickly used her magic to pull Zari from the bed of the princess and back to the woods where she belonged. “So…did the wolfy land in the right place?” The fairy asked almost afraid she sent her to the wrong place. She had done that spell on herself hundreds of times, but never to a werewolf.

Zari rolled her eyes but closed her eyes as she gently stroked the top of the human head as she slept. Closing her blue eyes to rest, enjoying the sounds of the quiet breathing. It was nice cuddling with someone, it felt like forever since she was this close to someone. Well, that she didn't kill after anyways. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, her eyes opened as she knew morning was nearing. Frowning slightly as time passed too quickly, she gazed at the sleeping Grace for a moment before gently kissing her forehead.

"See you another time, little pup." The werewolf cooed in her ear, giving it a playful nibble before pulling away. Closing her eyes briefly before opening them once more.

The luscious green of the forest replacing the comfortable human room of Grace. Standing as she wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, she looked at the fairy, seeming slightly concerned if the magic worked. Well, magic does have a funny effect sometimes on different species. Werewolves weren't usually easy to find either, so the Fairy probably only tried this on herself and humans.

"Yeah I got there alright. Thanks, Fairy. I see you already got your home ready." Zari spoke, her eyes looking at the tiny creature then the tree.
