"I hope so.." Arya said at his words.
After a half a mile down the road, she could hear the sounds of distant paws beating against the ground. She hissed with annoyance before looking at Rashad. This was a gamble, but they'd both be torn to pieces for the horse could never outrun the speed of a werewolf.
"Don't freak out and don't abandon me" She told him before leaping gracefully from the horse and onto the terrain.
Arya stood up and looked over her shoulder as the two black shapes in the distance were moving closer and closer. The Khajit raised her hand and pulled off a small emerald ring on her finger. She placed it in her pocket before leaping into the bushes to strip her clothes. A moment later came a horrible noise. The noise of a transformation. What emerged from the undergrowth was not Arya, but a beast of the night. It had brilliant green eyes and a long scar over it's left eye. It was Arya's werewolf form.
She looked back at Rashad momentarily before charging headlong towards the approaching werewolves. Arya howled and leapt atop one of them, biting deep into it's neck. She tasted it's blood in her mouth, but she knew not to let the blood lust get to her or she's end up killing more than just these two. She could tell they were strays immediately. They did not belong to any pack and were not of the Companions. They cared only to hunt and kill whatever they could find. The other werewolf leapt onto Arya's back to defend it's friend and scratched down the side of her leg. Letting out a mightly howl, Arya bit into the other wolfs flank and charged him into a nearby tree, winding the beast.
The one on the floor got to it's feet and lunged at Arya again, but she blocked it's path with a mighty swish of her claws and broke the Werewolves jaw at impact, sending it wimpering away. The other stood now and circled Arya for a moment but realizing it was folly it roared at her before retreating back towards the mountains. Arya took a deep breath and limped back towards the bushes were she had ditched her garb. Weakly, she picked up the ring from the pocket and slipped it back onto her finger instantly changing her back into her true form. She pulled herself into the bushes and with great pain pulled her thieves guild armor back on.
Once she was changed she re-emerged.
