Joe flew over the trees in the twilight's bright moon, slowing down slightly. He flapped slower, then came to a rest in a small clearing in the middle of the forest, careful not to hurt Destiny.

Destiny pulled a hairbrush out of hammerspace, putting her hair back in place and patted down her clothes. Then she jumped on Joe, trying to brush his hair too. "Nyaaaa!"

Joe fell clumsily, as a loud, resounding, 'SNAP!' sounded from his wings. He yelped, then looked at Destiny. He stood up very slowly, and tried to flap his wing. It flailed wildly.

"Ohshitohshitohshit!" Destiny looked horrified, "I can fix that! Well, I can try! Umm.... Nanomachines! Fixy=uopeopr oens! I could try for them? Oh, I'm so, so sorry!"

Joe smiled at her and said, "Destiny, calm down. It's perfectly fine. Watch..." He grabbed his wing and set it back into place. He winced as it slowly snapped, and popped back into place. He held it there for a couple oif minutes, then sighed. He took his hands off of it and flapped it. It was perfectly fine. Joe laughed a little bit.

"Okay... Okay... Holy crap, I think I'm hyperventilating..." Destiny said, trying to calm down. "Holy crap, that was kind of terrifying! Are you sure your wing is okay? Do you want a lollipop or some morphine?"

Joe shook his head and said, "I have never taken ANY type of drug in my life, but I COULD use that lollipop....?" He looked at her with puppy eyes and got on his knees. He clasped his hands together, also.

Destiny laughed and pulled out a whole handful of different flavoured lollipops, giving them to him. She then tacklehugged him, though making sure she didn't cause any wing damage this time.

Joe smiled and laughed, then looked her in the eyes and said, "Are you ready?" but it came out, "Arff ythoo weady?" Because of the lollipop in his mouth. He hugged her tightly and said, "I REALLY hope I don't hurt you!"

"Don't worry, I'll hide up a tree!" she said, hugging him, "Trust me, if my Davey couldn't eat me, you won't either. I'm safe as a button!" She gave him another hug then clambered up the nearest tree.

Joe nodded at her and said, "Alright..." He looked down slowly as the moon began to creep over the clearing. He began to grow thick, coarse, black fur. His mouth elongated into a long snout, and his eyes changed to a deep, bloody red. Claws grew as his fingernails began to get larger and take over his fingertips. His ears slowly slid to the top of his head. The transformation was complete, as his shirt ripped off and his shoes split and shot off of his feet. The bandages that were originally around his arms were still there, but much tighter. He howled bloodily, and looked around.

Destiny watched in paralyzed fascination as he changed and found herself inching up the tree carefully, trying to make her breathing as quiet as possible so he wouldn't hear her. She then realised that she couldn't remember if she had asked how he could turn back.

Joe's ears perked up, and he swiveled his head around to look Destiny dead in the eyes. He grinned devilidhly, then howled again. He began to crawl towards the tree slowly, drawing it out. He was playing with his food... And he was enjoying it...

Destiny swore under her breath, trying to think of what to do. She could always set Joe on fire, or shoot him but she didn't think that'd go down to well. So, evasive maneuvers it was. She pressed her back against the tree trunk and straddled the branch, knotting her legs underneath for stability then clasped her hands together and formed a small blue flame between them. She squashed the flame between both palms, focousing, then opened her hands. There was a small nugget of blue coloured Fireon there. She started pulling at it, molding the nugget into a thin circle and breathed fire on it. When the fire touched the firemetal it formed into more of it. Destiny concentrated on making the circle, trying to ignroe the slavering beast under the tree.

Joe began to claw at the tree, leaving very large, very deep claw marks. He howled yet again, then grabbed the trunk of the tree. He began to shake it violently. The tree shook, and clusters of leaves floated down. He snarled, and drool dripped from the jaws.

Destiny kept working on the the disc but there was no denying that her hands were shaking. She opened her eyes and examined the disc, nearly dropping it due to his shaking.
It was perfect, or even very good, but under the circumstances it was the best she could do. She held it out in front of her and took her hands away. The disc floated in the air, a little unsteadily, but it stayed up. She climbed onto it, holding onto it for dear life.
The disc started to move away from the tree and she was careful to make sure that it didn't touch off of any trees. Anything non-fireproof that touched against Fireon tended to go up in flames.

Joe looked up and kneeled. He shot up into the air in one quick jump, and, as his wings had disappeared, the grabbed ahold of the disc. He growled as his hand was singed. The fur caught on fire, but was quickly put back out. The smell of burnt hair and flesh filled the air.

Destiny walloped his hands with a hammer as hard as she dared. The disc wobbled, both from Joe's weight and Destiny's displaced attention. "Joe, seriously! You're kind of scaring me! If you're still listening, I'd really like you to stop!" she squeaked, trying up kick his hands off the disc.

Joe looked straight up at her, into her eyes. He let go, and fell to the ground on his back. He looked at his hands and howled, then began to rip fur off of his arms, ripping along with it flesh.

The sudden loss in weight caused the disc to rock wildly, nearly tossing Destiny off. She managed to stay on, watching in horror and fascination as Joe tore away chunks of flesh and fur. She made a mental note to give him anesthetic and lollipops afterwards.

Joe rested calmly back down to the ground. He hugged himself and started to change back. His eyes, finally, returned to normal, and he sat there, curled up, crying. The bandages on his arm were bloody from the ripped flesh. He was wearing only ripped pants, which had turned into shorts by now. He sobbed loudly.

The disc cracked in the middle, dropping Destiny on the ground before disintegrating. She crawled over to Joe, wincing a little at the pain from the fal, then hugged him tightly. "You okay, Joey?" she whispered, pulling out a bottle of water and towel. She soaked a corner of the towel and started wiping the blood off him.

Joe looked at her and tried to wipe the tears away, but to no avail. The wounds slowly began to heal, at a steady pace. He sat up slowly and shook his head. He wiped blood from his arm and stammered out, "Destiny... I... I-I'm so sorry. I... I didn't m-m-mean for that to hap-p-pen. Please, f-f-forgive me!"

"Dude, dude, don't worry about it," she said comfortingly, "I'm way used to people trying to kill me or eat my brainmeats. It was, like, fifty per cent of my childhood, and the rest was running away. So that was just like being at home. So, what I'm saying is... It's fine. I'm not mad at you. It's not like you even wanted to anyways, you were just a bit whacko. Now, stay still so I can clean you up. Oh, and do you need a new pair of pants?"

Joe shrugged and said, "Well... I can't stand up until I get a new pair, so that would be nice..." He smiled at her and pointed to a large hole in the front of his pants. You couldn't see anything, but you knew what was under the hole...

Destiny brandished a new pair of pants at him, "Put them on!" She turned her head away and closed her eyes to give him some privacy.

Joe blusherd a little bit as he took the pants, then he gently slid the shorts off and slid the pants on. He stood up straight and fkexed his wings a little bit. He stared straight down at the ground and said, "Destiny..." softly.

Destiny turned her head to look up at him. "Look, Joey, it's fine. Seriously. I mean, my boyfriend turned into a lion and ate people in front of me. I think I can handle a little ol thing like this."

Joe looked up at her with one eye, as his hair was covering the other and said, "You don't know... I have your scent engraved onto my brain. If that ever happens again.. If you didn't know... I could kill you... I never want that to happen... I need to die!" Tears once again streamed from his eyes. He took a knife from the bag which was, strangely, still on him, and held it out with an open palm to her.

Destiny took it, looking at it in confusion. "What the hell am I meant to do with this, eat it?" She shoved it into her pocket. "You're not going to kill me. One, I won't let you. Two, you probably won;t let yourself. You stopped this time, you can stop other times too."
