Annie

(Part 1)

Your gf wanted to go out for a late night walk
not exactly something you were in favor of but she really wanted to see the harvest moon
mercifully you two seemed the be the only ones at the park when you arrived
between the starry night, the crisp chill in the air, it was actually kind of a pleasant walk
the conversation was mostly small talk
in your head you kept debating when was the best time to propose to her
you’d be dating long enough
was now the time?
you didn’t get a chance to ponder the matter further as rustling in the bushed to your right caught you attention
you barely had time to look over when something full body tackled you with the force of a linebacker on steroids tied to the front of a car
you were launched a solid seven feet before you head slammed against the cold dirt
you barely had a chance to lean up and appreciate the daze you were in when you heard a sound that shook you to your core
a sound you hoped you’d never hear
your girlfriend’s bloodcurdling scream
you looked over to see a horrid beast over the top of her
clawing at her clothes and flesh with the same ease and ferocity
you didn’t know what this thing was
you didn’t have time to care
fumbling in your pocket you procured your 10mm
you lined up the sights just as it bit down on her
the first shot struck it in the ribs under its arm
the second destroyed it’s left shoulder
by the third it had snapped around to regard what was attacking it
It let out a roar only to have a round strike it square in the neck
and yet it didn’t drop
instead the roar turned into a croak as it flopped backwards and scurried off into the woods
no time to ask questions
you got up and hurried over to you girlfriend
she was covered in claw and bitemarks
nevermind the blood
she looked like she was going into shock

“Oh God! Just hang on!”

You turned and went for your phone
your hands were shaking as you booted up the screen
9-
a sound behind broke your concentration
almost like bone cracking
you snapped around pistol raised incase whatever the hell that thing was had come back for round two
it wasn’t there
it came from your girlfriend
her back was arched to the sky
her arms stretched out beside her on both sides
her eyes were wide and full of fear
but they weren’t blue anymore
they were a bright amber
inch long claws erupted from her fingers as her arms and hands elongated
her face stretched forward into a muzzle
her mouth was locked open in a silent scream as her teeth grew into fangs
the wounds across her body healed as her body was enveloped in a layer of fur
her muscles bulged and toned
and then without warning she snapped upright
head pointed to the sky as she howled to the moon
you dropped your phone
the sound was enough for it to hear you
it’s mouth was open, fangs bared and eyes wild
you still had your pistol out
you weren’t sure what to do

against your better judgment you took a gamble
you holster your pistol and held your arms out
she was growling and starting to crawl forwards
her body was primed for a leap
you knew you probably only a few seconds before you got mauled
now or never
you took a breath and said a single word

“Annie”

you saw her body suddenly seize
like her body was fighting itself
her amber eyes locked onto yours
a newfound clarity glinted off them as they darted around before looking down
slowly she looking over her shaking clawed hands
it was hard to read expressions on her new face but her widening eyes and shaking her head back and forth told you all you needed to know
with a wail she covered her face with her claws
terrified or ashamed of what she had become

you felt like you were making all decisions against common sense right now
but then again nothing made sense right now
your girlfriend just turned into a werewolf
carefully you approached the sobbing thing
it was almost amazing how something like that could go from terrifying to absolutely pitiful at the drop of a hat
she didn't react to you closing the gap
you were even sure she was aware of you at this point
you knelt down in front of her
slowly you reached out with one hand and make contact with one of her large clawed hands cupping her face
still no real reaction
you brought around your other hand and cupped the underside of her cheek
you heard her sobbing quiet a little
after a minute she brought her hands down
her eyes slightly bloodshot from all the crying
but still there was something in them now
uncertainty? surprise? you weren't sure
you tried to think of something to say
some elaborate way to say you weren't going anywhere
that you weren't going to leave her
instead she brought up one of her larger clawed hands and embraced yours
message received

After taking her hands and a bit of coaxing you got her to her feet
she wasn't exactly short as a human but now she was absolutely towering over you
at least her fangs weren't out anymore

"Come, not like I'm just gonna leave you out in the woods"

It looked like she was trying to smile but was having trouble with her newfound muzzle
you led her back to the car
and then a new problem reared it's head that hadn't crossed your mind
you got in the driver side no problem
only to look over and see your girlfriend awkwardly squished in the passenger seat
even hunched over her back was pressing into the roof
her almost glowing eyes giving an uncertain "now what?"

Ok, the front seat clearly wasn't going to cut it

"Hang on, got an idea"

you got out and carefully eased her out of her wedged position
you opened the passenger door
after a confused head tilt her eyes lit up as she realized what you had in mind
carefully, she leaned forward and climbed in
her fingers up the whole time and only her palms touching to keep her nails from puncturing the upholstery
Once she was all the way in you carefully tucked her tail in and shut the door
maybe not carefully enough seeing as you hear a faint yip from the other side of the door as the door impacted her butt

"Sorry!"

you hurried around to the driver side
you took your seat and looked up in the rearview mirror
Annie was looking back at you
given her size she was stuck on all fours back there even with the additional space
and she was looking right back at you
clearly less than amused
you gave your best shrug before starting the car
you looked back at her through the mirror
you couldn't just drop her off at her house
not like this
couldn't leave her alone
you spoke up

"My place?"

she looked down before giving a nod
with a nod you put the car in reverse, pulled out of the park's parking lot, and went on your way

(Part 2)

The drive was mercifully uneventful
Though there was something hilarious about looking back and seeing what looked to be a massive wolf looking more akin to an uncertain puppy during the drive
she'd on occasion stick her head between the driver and passenger seat to get a better view of the front
though she'd hastily duck down whenever a passing car got too close
you weren't sure if you were acting out of line but you did once or twice pat her head
she didn't seem to mind though
eventually you arrived at your place
opening the back door you carefully coaxed her out by getting her to walk on all fours backwards
inadvertently sending her backing into you for a moment when you thought you'd need to help pulling her out
unlocking the front door you flipped on the lights
the sound of claws clicking on the tile floor followed behind you
you weren't sure what your next move should be as you went and shut the door as she passed.
She was probably tired, lord knows you were
but she was also still covered in blood from the attack

you were both tired
but honestly you figured the two of you would probably appreciate not waking up to blood in the bed tomorrow

"You wanna try and clean up a little?"

Annie tilted her head a little

"You're...still covered in some..."

you pointed
she looked down
realizing the red stains on her front

"Here, I'll set something up"

you passed her and went into her bathroom
it was setup about how you last saw it
tub with a shower head over the top
At her size you weren't sure if her head could fit under the shower head
nevermind if she could maintain balance on her new legs while wet
you closed the drain and started filling up the tub
rummaging around the side you found a container of bubble bath
lavender scented
didn't have any dog shampoo on hand so you were going to have to make do
you popped the top and poured some in
before long you have a frothy mountain of bubbles
you popped open the door

"Your bath awaits" you called in your best fake posh accent

Annie poked her head in and surveyed the scene before stepping inside

"Now if you want some privacy I can step-"

WHAM!
You looked over to see that she had shut the door behind her
a raised eyebrow on her face

"...that's ok too!"

she trotted ahead and started to strip down
it was admittedly a bit of an odd thing
everything was where you'd expect it to be
it just now had a layer of fur over it
it probably would have been more enticing if it weren't for the blood
she sat on the rim of the tub and beckoned you over with a finger
the message was clear
your turn

You started to strip down
did she just growl?
not a "I'mma rip your throat out" kind of growl
something else
when you approached the tub she gestured for you to enter it first
you weren't sure exactly what she had planned here
you got in the scented bubble bath
for her to immediately follow in after you
more or less sitting in your lap
it'd maybe be a bit romantic if she wasn't so dang heavy
With something akin to an "Awoo" she pointed to her back
there was indeed some blood splattered back there as well

"Alright, alright, I get the picture" you said as you grabbed a bottle of shampoo

drizzling it directly into her tan fur
you looked up to see she was holding her hand out over her shoulder making an open and closing motion

"Oh! One sec!"

You squeezed some of the shampoo into her hand
Satisfied she started to work on her front while you worked on her back
you went slowly fearing hitting wounds
but strangely enough when you washed off the area of blood it was devoid of any punctures or bites
the hell?
were they all on her chest?
you leaned over her shoulder
no her chest was clean too
then mammal brain decided to switch on and had you to look a bit further down
right at her breasts
and an amber eye glancing back confirmed she caught you staring
you snapped back behind her
you couldn't quite describe the noise she made
you think it was laughing

With that embarrassment out of the way you hastily finished cleaning her back
you swore she was grinning now every time you chanced a look
she got out of the tub first
and promptly shook herself like a dog
sending water all over the place
you opted for just a towel
you half expected her to grab the sports bra and throw it back on but she passed over it on the floor
the bloodstains probably didn't make it very appealing
she scampered off into the main part of the house
you followed after getting your clothes back on
you found her in the bedroom
setting a towel on the bed to try and absorb whatever moisture in her fur was still left
she crawled onto the bed
her ears and eyes drooping with a sigh
she'd been through a lot
you approached
a lazy amber eye glancing towards you

"Do you want me to leave you alone or-?"

you got your answer when she grabbed your hand
you gave a nod and got in on the other side
you suddenly had a damp werewolf wrapping her arms around you
she made a whining sound

"I'm not going anywhere, don't worry"

you weren't sure how long the two of you laid there
before finally the call of sleep took you

(Part 3)

you started to stir awake
you brain for a second was trying to figure out if everything that happened the night before was some fever dream as it started to switch on
You got your answer as your eyes finally crept open
this wasn't your bed it was hers
your eyes immediately locked onto the other occupant in bed with you
it was Annie
human again
she started to stir
a hazel eye cracked open
a tired but genuine smile formed on her face
she reached out and cupped your cheek
words weren't needed the appreciation on her face shown like the morning sun touching her skin
"Anon"

she later recounted it as feeling like a "something primal" trying to override her brain
trying to lash out at anything near her, in that instance, you
had you not called out, she wasn't sure what she would have done
she feared what she was, whether she'd could control it next time, if she ever could
but you weren't dissuaded
you told her you weren't going to leave her

Epilogue:

Your lives changed after that night
it took time but Annie seemed to eventually get the grasp of her new form
the first few changes were rough, but you helped her through them
now she sees it less with fear and more as a power rush
granted chasing her around once a month is a bit hectic, but you don't care, she's happy
you've debated on and off on letting her bite you, to join her in all this
you haven't quite made up your mind
one day, maybe
all that mattered was she was happy, and so were you
