“How did it go?” Dylan asked as they went down the stairs heading for the elevator.

“It was… weird,” she confessed.

“Weird?”

“He told me to be sure I liked what I did.” That made Dylan smile. “Like, he said if I didn’t want to be a werewolf hunter, then I shouldn’t be one.”

Raising his eyebrows, Dylan said, “Do you?”

“I think I do.”

“I’ll train you,” Dylan reminded her. “It’ll take some getting used to, but it’ll grow on you. You'll see.”

“Will it?”

The elevator door opened and they stepped inside. With a voice command, Dylan told the elevator where to go. “Once your training starts it’ll be easier to tell, I suppose.” He sounded disappointed; almost like he hadn’t liked Dr. Stevens for getting ideas into her head.

She took his hand, “I’m not going anywhere, Dylan. Not yet.”

“I hope so,” he smiled nervously. “I’ve gone through a lot to get you here. I don’t want you to leave.”

“I won’t,” she reassured him.

They were quiet on their way down. They were quiet on their walk back to her apartment. They were quiet as Dylan walked to the fridge to see what there was in it to eat. Quietly, he left the refrigerator to face her again.

“I’ll understand if you want to leave,” he confessed.

“I won’t leave,” she insisted. Deep down it bothered her he was giving up like that. “I want to do this, I want to try. I didn’t go through all of this to just leave tomorrow, Dylan. I know it sounds crazy, but somehow I know this is where I should be. I-”

A sharp sound started in her head. Out of nothing, the world around her turned louder. It startled her, making her dizzy. Soon, she couldn’t find her balance. Her hands were covering her ears, but it didn’t seem to help in any way.

“Becca?” Dylan’s voice was different. It now had an echo to it, almost as if he were speaking through a microphone or was inside a cave.

“Stop… talking,” she mumbled through gritted teeth, but even the sound of her own voice was deafening. With her hands covering both ears, Rebecca struggled to understand what was going on.

And she knew; she knew what was happening.

Except, it didn’t matter how much Dylan had explained it would be like, there wasn’t any way to know what it would really feel like until it happened. It wasn’t painful like her transformation had been, but it still hurt. It felt like losing control of reality; almost like the floor disappeared and there weren’t any more physical boundaries. She felt like falling, like she needed to hang onto something or she would lose control.

She felt Dylan holding her, guiding her some place she couldn’t reach. Eventually, she felt him carrying her to her bed. She had closed her eyes, her hands on her ears. Behind her lips, she felt her long fangs. It was a total loss of control and she couldn’t figure out how to regain it. It wasn’t as easy as standing in front of a mirror and willing her teeth back inside her gums or forcing her eye color to change.
