Her eyes went to him as she listened to him as she smiled. "I trust you, Ben." Miriam said as she kissed him back and rubbed his chest softly as she looked at him. "Okay." She said softly as she let him hold her face in his hands. "Are you hungry yet or should I get another movie?" The brunette whispered to him as her hands slid down his chest.

Ben smiled as he heard her and kissed her back, having to surpress another happy growl as she rubbed his chest. When he heard her he thought for a moment, "how about if we just watch another movie, I want to hold you for as long as I can." he said to her softly as he pulled her closer to him. He was so glad that she agreed to everything and trust him on this. He just hoped that he didn't do anything stupid while he wasn't funny under control.

She smiled at his comment and pressed her body to him. Miriam kissed him again before reaching for the remote and changing the channel as "A Nightmare before Christmas" came on the TV. Her eyes stayed on Ben as she rested her hands on his chest. "Please, Ben...I want you to do more than hold me..." The brunette said as she blushed and looked at him.

Ben smiled at her as he kissed her back and kept her close to him. When he saw the movie come on, he smiled, "I think I remember this movie." he said yet before he could say more he was stunned silent by what she said. Turning to her, he could feel his other side raging but he forced it to calm down, "if you mean you want me to also kiss you I can do that." he said as he kissed her again and hoped that was all she wanted. Anything else and he would have to run, he couldn't be with her like that, it would end badly, very very badly.

Miriam nodded as she looked at him. "It's a classic now a days." She said before looking at him as he grew quiet. Her eyes on him as she kissed him back and pressed her body to him. "Yes, please kiss me more. I want to be with you so badly." The brunette said softly as she rubbed his chest and blushed.

Ben smiled as he held her close and found himself kissing her more. The other side of him was growing restless with everything and he knew he had to watch himself. When he heard her, he gently kissed her again and gave a small smile, "I can hug you and kiss you all you want but anything else is a no." he said to her softly and hoped that she would understand. Sure, he wanted to be with her in every way possible but it was dangerous. If he got out of control and bit her that would be the end of her life. He couldn't do that to her.

Her hands rubbed his chest as she nodded and kissed him back. "I understand, Ben." Miriam said softly as she rested her head on his shoulder. She ran her fingers through his hair as she looked at the clock. The brunette wondered what time her father would be getting home and why Ben had to be out all night, especially when he stay here with her. "I wish you could stay here tonight." Miriam pressed her body to him as she sighed. "It gets lonely here especially if I'm by myself."

Ben smiled as he heard her and leaned into her hand as she ran it threw his hair. Yet when he heard her, he sighed, "I wish I could too but it is better if I go." he said as he wrapped his arms around her more. "I promise you that as soon as the sun peeks I will be back." He said as he gently stroked her cheek. He wished that he could stay, he wish he wasn't a monster, yet he ahd to go to keep her safe and everyone else safe.

She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and stroked her cheek. "I'll hold you to that promise, Ben." Miriam kissed him again as her hand ran through his hair more. Her body pressed to his as she looked at the clock and sighed. "It's 5:45..." The brunette pulled back from him to look at him as she blushed.

Ben smiled as he kissed her back, "your welcome to hold me to it." he said softly as he held her close. He wished that he coudl stay like this with her for the rest of his life. Yet when he heard her, he knew he had to go. glancing outside, he noticed the sun already starting to set and he knew his other side would want to play. Sighing, he slowly hat up and looked at her, "I promise I will be back soon." he said and kissed her one more time. He then stood up and headed to the door. As he opened it, he looked back at her and smiled, "just think, the sun will come up soon." and then he was gone. He raced towards the forest and once he was out of sight he put on extra speed that no human could actually run. He had to get away, just incase.

Miriam nodded and sat up with him as he kissed her again. She watched him walk to the door and smiled as he looked at her. "Be careful, Ben." Her eyes closed as he left and sighed as she decided to order in pizza. The brunette closed the door as she changed the channel on the television and sighed. She hugged a pillow as she laid on the couch in front of the TV. "Ben...I wish you were here..." Miriam moved Ben's bag to the guest room and put it in the closet.

Ben conitnued to run and soon he was far away from town when the moon started to rise. He growled as he felt the tug of it, the tugging of the fur that layed under his skin. Gasping slightly as he found himself on his hands and knees, trying to get past the pain. The pain never got easy to deal with after all these years. He felt his sking starting to ahead, being replaced by the fur that layed under and his legs start to grow longer. After a bit the pain ws gone and what replaced the man was a wolf like beast. Slowly getting to his feet, he let out a howl that could be heard for miles before he took off into the forest, looking for something to kill, something to eat.

Her eyes stayed on the TV as she sighed and closed her eyes before sitting up as someone knocked on the door. Miriam answered it and payed for her food as she went back to the living room. She sat down and looked at her food as she heard the howl. The brunette stood up and walked towards the back door before stepping out onto the back porch.

After a little bit, ben was chewing on what use to be a deer. He looked content as he ate and after a bit all that was left were the antlers and some bones. Once he was full, his human mind started to take over, his animal side full from the kill. Standing up on all fours, he slowly made his way back to where her house was. Now that he was in control, he wans't afraid of being close to town. After a bit, he found himself back in the clearing where he could lay down and watch her house from here. He hoped that she was okay without him.

She laid there on the couch in front of the television as the front door was pushed open by a guy in a ski mask. Miriam laid sleeping on the couch as the guy walked over to her and gagged her. Her eyes opened as he duct taped her mouth but she still managed to scream for help. He knocked her unconscious as he carried her towards a van in the driveway. A tear rolled down her cheek as she thought of Ben.

Ben had been daydreaming of being able to lay with her and hold her close as a human at night. It was a wonderufl dream and it was shattered when he heard the scream. Instantly he got to all fours and bolted for the house. He didn't bother with the door and crashed right threw it. Growling, he smelled the sent of others here and their hands held blood on them. Bolting for the door, he noticed someone with Miriam in their arms. A horrible monsterous growl came from him and he charged, rage clouding his eyes as he got to the man in seconds. ONce he was close enough he stood on his back legs, towering over the man. Grabing him by his neck, he picked him up and growled, his teeth glowing in the moon light, "Let go of her, NOW!" he roared into his face and held his arm out for Miriam. He didn't want to hurt him, no matter how badly he wanted to kill him right now.

The guy heard the breaking of the door and ran towards the van. He pulled out a gun and shot at the creature that stood before him. Dropping the girl, he got in the van and drove off as he squealed the tires. Miriam landed on the ground her mouth still sealed with duct tape and still unconscious as she laid there in the grass. She started to stir as a neighbor yelled her name and started to run over to see if she was alright.

Ben grunted when he was shot bu ignored it as he quickly picked up Miriam in his arms. So far she looked okay and he let himself calm down. Gently, he took off the tape from her mouth and pressed his furry head to her chest, she was breathing and her heart was beating. Instantly any worry he had left him, that was untill he heard people running over. He knew he couldn't stay here and gently set her down on the ground. He moved to run but gasped in pain as he looked down. His side was bleeding badly from the gun shot yet he knew he couldn't stay. Forcing himself to move, he weakly ran back into the forest but left a trail of blood after him.

Miriam stirred as he took the tape off her mouth and looked around but winced at the pain in her head. She noticed the blood going to the forest but looked to the neighbors as they ran over to her. Her neighbors called the police after she told them not to but was more worried about what her father would do when he got home. The brunette was looked over by the paramedics as her father's car sped into the driveway.

Ben had barely made it past the tree line when he couldn't move anymore. Falling to the ground, he pressed his hand like paw over the wound and groaned slightly. Sure most people though werewolves could regenerate and they could to a degree, but it took a long time. Laying on the ground, he simply closed his eyes as he listened to the ground of the sirens and knew that Miriam was safe. When he heard a car pull in he could only guess it was her father. He smiled to himself, "your safe but not sure if I can keep the promise of seeing you at dawn, but you will see me." he said to himself as he layed their, feeling his body slowly regenerate and try too push the bullet out from his side.

Her eyes closed as her father stormed over to her and demanded to know what happened. Miriam told him about the attack and how she did not know why she was outside. She heard him go on and on about how she needed to be more careful but he hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Dad. I know should have been more careful." The brunette smiled at him and winced as her head throbbed. "Are we done, Dad?" He nodded and dismissed everyone for the night.

Ben smirked tiredly as he listened to her father yell at Miriam and wished that he could have that happen to him. To know that someone cared enough to yell at him. Though when he heard her wince, he got really worried but knew she would be okay. When he heard her, he smiled and knew that she would be safe now that her father was hope. Feeling something, he smiled as he felt the bullet finally pop out and his insides start to rebuild themselves.

She rubbed her head as her father lead her into the house and looked around at the scene. Miriam closed her eyes as they headed upstairs to retire for the night. Her father hugged and kissed her head goodnight before they went to their rooms. The brunette locked her door but walked out on her balcony facing the woods. Miriam cried as the events of the last hour replayed in her mind.

Ben was glad to heard her head inside but no sooner that she was did he heard her step out onto her balcony. Slowly getting to his feet, he stumbled towards the edge of the forest and leaned against a tree. He didn't have to look at her to know she was crying. He wished nothing more then to go to her and he was tempted too. Yet when he reached out to go to her, he saw his hand. It wasn't human and he didn't want to scare her. Staying behind a tree, he wished nothing more then to go to her and hold her close. As he leaned back against the tree, the frustration got to him and he found himself howling. It was a very sad and lonely tune, one that sounded like it could break a heart. Yet as it died it seemed to end with a happiness even he didn't understand.

Miriam cried as she sat out on the balcony and looked towards the woods. Her eyes closed at the loud howl as the sound hurt her head. She whimpered and walked back into her room to go take some medicine for her head. The brunette wished Ben were with her and that she could curl up in his arms. But that wouldn't happen since he wasn't there.
