Sam is tossed among the trees, struggling to get up as she regains her breath.

She sends a clumsy, imperfectly focused mental blast at Tereza, trying to stagger her at the least.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:38 pm**

Tereza had been working on her mental defenses, but this isn't quite her and the mental blast staggers the approaching hellbeast as she shakes her head, trying to clear the ringing out from between her ears. Still, she stumbles in Sam's direction, weaving back and forth.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:42 pm**

Sam coughs, finally managing to stand.

"...please let this work," she pleads before trying to feed her friend's mind full of lullabies and the urge to sleep.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:45 pm**

As Sam contacts Tereza's mind, she can sense a sort of hum, loud and insistent. Maddening even. The urge to sleep runs up against it like a brick wall, leaving the hellbeast slow and sluggish, but certainly still active as it makes a clumsy lunge for her.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:49 pm**

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."

She keeps up the mental interference, darting back from the shaggy thing's lunge, trying to bait it into charging at her as she's standing in front of a tree trunk.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:54 pm**

The mental interference is apparently keeping her from being the canny predator that initially presented itself and she slams straight into the tree. The wood she slams into cracks and she stumbles away, shaking bark and splinters out of her fur as she reorients herself.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:57 pm**

Sam's not quite sure what her next move is beyond this, but she takes the opportunity to try and leap on Tereza's back.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:09 pm**

As she does so, she briefly notes a patch of fur on Tereza's back that briefly turns silver-white before being consumed by black again. The hellbeast begins bucking and scrabbling at her, trying to get her off her back, but not having much luck. It's probably quite the sight if anyone was around to see it.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:12 pm**

Sam hangs on for dear life, clutching the beast's thick pelt as she slowly climbs up to behind Tereza's head. She grits her teeth and starts to shift up into the stolen werewolf form she learned in Russia again. She tries to wrap an arm around to attempt a sleeper hold.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:21 pm**

She avoids a jaw snap by only a hair's breadth, snaking her arm under the muzzle and jerking her head back. The hellbeast responds by slamming her now larger opponent backwards into a tree.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:26 pm**

Sam's hold falters as she's shoved against the tree, wheezing as the wind is knocked out of her.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:34 pm**

The silver-white fur makes another brief appearance, spreading on the hellbeast's hands before the black fur swallows it again, causing the creature to stop in confusion for a moment.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:44 pm**

"Cease your rampage, hellbeast!" a voice that is clearly enjoying itself way too much calls out from above, soon followed by the rustling of wings folding as Nailah goes into a dive, feet first and aiming a kick at the back of giant wolf monstrosity's head, white superhero outfit fluttering in the wind.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:23 pm**

Sam groans, reverting to her normal form.

She looks up in bewilderment at the new arrival.

"Nailah don't! That's..." She barely manages to croak.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:26 pm**

The kick works to a point, driving the hellbeast away from Sam. Although now, Nailah certainly has the hellbeast's attention and she makes a grab a the winged creature that just kicked her.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:42 pm**

"Don't worry, Sam! I got this!" Nailah grins as she drops into a roll to dodge out of the way of the wolf's grab, coming back up with an elbow-strike aimed at the shaggy beast's ribcage.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:45 pm**

"It's Tereza!" She finally calls out to Nailah.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:46 pm**

It's a solid blow and there's a lot of muscle in the way, but Nailah's rewarded with a grunt of pain from the creature. The injury doesn't seem to impair her though as the beast lashes out to backhand Nailah.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 6:01 pm**

"What?" Nailah blinks at Sam's comment, just in time to be backhanded by the werewolf and knocked several feet back. She tumbles across the ground and only barely manages to roll to her feet, one hand on the ground to steady herself while her claws leave gouges in the ground from canceling her momentum. It takes her a moment to clear her head, the side of her face hurting from where she took the brunt of the blow.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 6:03 pm**

"Oh, dammit," she mutters, getting to her feet.

"She... she changed! I don't know how!"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 6:10 pm**

The werewolf side-steps, eyes still on them, but its ears are twitching as if it's listening to something else. The ears are briefly covered in the silver-white fur before the fur washes back to black and the creature growls at the two in front of her.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 6:53 pm**

"Yeah, well, she doesn't seem particularly friendly..." Nailah says, her body-language still tense and broadcasting that she still thinks the best course of action is probably punching, crouched with one hand on the ground, wings unfolded and ready to take her into the air.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:02 pm**

A pair of vines suddenly whip around the werewolf's legs in an effort to trip her.

"You shouldn't have come back you loony bitch," Shane said before yanking, assuming it was Isolde.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:12 pm**

The werewolf faceplants into the ground as the vines yank its legs out from under it. Claws slash downward to sever the vines and the creature lunges for the new voice that obviously is the source of the new assault.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:20 pm**

"We've just got to get her subdued. She needs help!"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:23 pm**

"I don't think we'll be able to hold her down. This looks more like a job for... I dunno, horse tranquilizers? What do they use on bears?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:28 pm**

"Help?! This bloody nightmare tried to kill me and Tereza!" he protested as he shifted his arms into bark-covered shields and literally planted his feet to withstand the attack.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:31 pm**

The werewolf slams into Shane like a miniature freight train, claws sinking into the bark as she uses it for leverage against him. Her eyes peeked up over the shield, slowly followed by her muzzle.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:35 pm**

Not waiting for Sam to answer, on account of Shane being about to be turned into salad, Nailah grabs a sturdy-looking branch from the forest floor and charges at the giant wolf monster. "I thought wolves are supposed to be carnivores!" she quips as she jumps, wings giving her more height and momentum as she swings the makeshift-club at the back of the wolf-monster's head.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:42 pm**

"That is Tereza!" Sam calls to Shane. "She changed!"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:53 pm**

"Bloody hell she was a werewolf," Shane said through gritted teeth as he fought a losing battle of strength with the beast.

Wait... aren't werewolves... would that even work?

Shane's shields started growing wolfsbane, or rather a facsimile he hoped counted.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:59 pm**

The werewolf recoils from whatever it is Shane is growing just as Nailah brings the branch down onto her head, causing her to stumble and fall. Sam from her position might note a streak of silver-white hair up the werewolf's forehead that doesn't seem to be going away, although it is stained with a bit of red from the bash across the head. The werewolf struggles to rise.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 8:11 pm**

Sam sees the streak grow in, and tries a desperation move. She tries to push past the noise in the werewolf's mind.

"Tereza?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:50 pm**

"I can't make it stop..." Sam can feel a stronger sense of Tereza under the wolf, but the wolf is still largely in charge. "Take me down."

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:52 pm**

"You- you need to sleep, Tereza..."

Sam tries what she hadn't managed to accomplish earlier, pushing it hard into the gap that's opened in the madness.

"Nobody... nobody hit her for a little bit."

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:07 pm**

The werewolf gets shaky and then collapses completely to the ground, her breathing quickly getting deep and even. As they watch, the injury from the blow to the head begins knitting itself shut.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:56 pm**

"You can... keep her under, right?" Shane asked with concern. Looking at the gouges in his shifted arms, he added, "And do you think you need to be made of meat to get lycanthropy?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:58 pm**

"She didn't... bite you, did she?"

Sam makes her way over to Tereza, kneeling beside her and smoothing down her matted mane.

"...I can keep her sleeping until you can get help."

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2016 1:18 am**

"No... no bites. Guess I'll just hope it works that way."

He started to turn back to the school, but stopped. "Where... exactly... would we get werewolf help?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2016 1:19 am**

"Well we've got to..."

She sighs, frowning.

"...we've got to lock her up. The school can do that."
