"Well she won't fit in the carriage and she needs a harness or leash if she is coming to our house. I don't trust animals that are almost as big as a damn horse. I will give you a minute to put a harness and leash on her." He said. He walked to the carriage and waited. Winifred looked at Fabian,"just do it." She said. She wasn't a dog so she hated this.
"Alright but I'll put it on loose." Said Fabian just loud enough for only her to here. It took him a few minutes to make a crude harness out of some rope that was lying about and another few to make sure the leash seemed worthy enough to act as if it was a leash. He returned back outside and showed that he had her tied up and had a firm grip on the leash. "I'll have her run beside the carriage, she won't spoke the horses I promise.
Winifred nods and waits for him. He puts her in a crude harness. She hated the thing and allowed him to slip it around her. She did growl a bit,but never harmed him. Winifred would never harm Fabian. She walked out on the leash. The man nodded "okay, please come in." When Fabian stepped in Winifred looked worried even in wolf form. She ran a long side the carriage. She barked and watched. As she ran a long side the carriage. When they pulled up to the house Winifred stood next Fabian in her wolf form. She pressed into his leg and walked along side him."welcome to our home you and your mutt want a tour."he asked. She growled at the mutt comment.
"Mutt" Said Fabian acting offended. HIs desire to be an actor was about to come into play. "She is a pure breed Aboriginal, Tibetan Shepard. They're on;y 100 of her kind in the world right now. Honestly you shouldn't go about calling people's pets and family members mutts."
Winifred nudged Fabian gently she licked his hand."Thanks and nice lie." She said. She looked around."ask him for a tour he calls me a mutt again I will tear his face off." She said in Fabians mind.
"Yes sorry, we are just not use to dogs or horse dogs here with us." He said. He glared at Winifred. She showed her teeth and growled. She sat and looked over at Fabian. She rested her head in his shoulder.
"BUt we will take you up on the offer of the tour." Said Fabian calming down. "Sorry about that, we have been dealing with those jibes all our lives. My family hasa tradition that we adhere to. I hope I didn't upset you with my outburst."
"No not at all." He said."please follow me may I hold your wolf." He said. Winifred growled and snarled. She stood and backed away from him. He walked over and pet her. He smirked and whispered."i will get rid of you. You disgusting mutt then take your friend here and exploit his talents."he muttered not knowing she was a werewolf. She snarled and snapped at him she jumped knocking him down. He put his hands up."woah get her off. I was just petting her." He said. Winifred looked at Fabian. Her teeth were barred and she almost ripped this mans throat out.
"Winifred!" Said Fabian sharply playing along. He knew something had to be up but wasn't sure what. "Sorry about that. Perhaps you smell off to her. Different places have different scents." HE followed the man as he lead them about the massive house and seemed to genuinely be interested in some of the family history. He was waiting for Winifred to tell him what was up.
Winifred backed off and growled snarling."he threatened you and threaded to get rid of me." She said. The man nods."its okay just leave her out here." He said."No, that's a bad idea." Winifred said to Fabian. She whined and nudged Fabian her eyes wide. She licked his hand. She glared at the man he was bad,she knew it. She wasn't allowing Fabian out if her sight.
"Hmmm. I would prefer it if she could stay near me." Said Fabian reluctant to let her be far from him but he doubted she would be able to fit into the house easily. He had to think of a away to allow her to stay close to him without drawing suspicion, or worry from the other inhabitants of the house that were innocent.
Winifred looked at him."make up a story about how you found me as a pup and I will start to freak out if I am not with you but make it believable." She said in Fabians mind. Winifred stayed close to him with a slight growl at the man."I can fit threw the door."she said. He looked at Fabian."why she is just a dog not like she needs to be inside."he said
"Well actually she does. Well some of the times. She doesn't have a under coat and gets really cold this time of year if she is just sitting about." Said Fabian. "I promise she won't be any problem. She is amazing at not knocking things over."
Winifred smirked." Nicely done simple." She said to Fabian. "Alright as long as she is good." He said. He led them in and Winifred followed. She stayed close to Fabian she looked around. A woman walked down."ahh our neighbor welcome please come in. Oh god what happened to you. Go change. Sorry hope my son wasn't a pain. Oh holy..ummm who let this filthy animal in." She said."sorry I will have it removed." She said. Winifred growled."really what is it with these people." She said
So sorry. I saw the notifcation but at the time I got bsy and forgot.
"Leave her please. She really is quiet nice and clean. I gave her a bath this morning. Look at the beautiful fur. See how it shines in the candle light?" Asked Fabian as he stroked her shaggy fur. "She is just a large lap dog. She nearly broke my couch once trying to get on it. To be fair it was one of those small couches for two people."
Winifred growled at the woman. She. Moved to Fabians side. She let out a small noise as he pet her fur."oh sorry I thought some stray got in. And my dear boy they are always filthy animals they can't help it. It is why I told Luke He can't have a pet." She said."please come in and well make sure she doesn't break a thing. Also please call me Anne. Luke and Marv will be down in a bit. You may sit in the drawing room while we wait I must go check on dinner." She said escorting them into a room. She left closing the door and locking it. Winifred sat with her head in Fabians lap she sniffed him for something to eat. When the woman locked the door her head flew up and she looked at Fabian."told you something was off."she said.
"Yes I agree. Shall we wait and see or shall I just go ahead and bust that door away? Should be easy to do." Said Fabian as he stared at the hard wood door. This place was starting to get scary quick, and not the fun horror story kind, but the creepy neighbor wanting to eat someone kind.
Winifred looked at him."save your strength will need it." She said. Her fur was standing on end. She sniffed around the door and then at the window."hop on and trust me." She said. She nudged him on her back and ran for the window jumping through it. It hurt slightly. She shook the glass from her fur and kept running. She made sure Fabian was hanging on."duck"she said hearing shots going off. She ran for there place. Upon reaching it she flopped to the ground. Let out small whimpers of pain. Her shoulder had been hit when she was running.
"Damn. That is always weird." Said Fabian at the beginning of their escape. Once he had realized she had been hit he leapt from her and mustering a charge of energy created a shield charm. The bullets could be heard hitting the invisible shield. He looked about and shot a quick spell to one of the shooters. Who it was he had no clue but the spell was designed to shock the person, paralyzing them .
She moved him for the house with her head. Winifred let out a loud groan and stumbled for the door. She couldn't see straight. Who ever shot had hit a mark. She could feel her grip on her wolf form slipping. She had to make it to her room. She did changing back. She put on some clothes. And leaned back on her bed and let out a slight groan of pain.
Fabian had to take drastic measures at this point. He had to protect the entire house and that was a bit of serious magic. It took him a minute to find the book he needed and he began weaving a hurricane of a spell. It was about to take a lot out of him but before that he had one last thing to do. Taking a knife from the kitchen he ran a deep cut over his finger and began drawing a series of odd runes over the door and closed them in within a circle. The final part was turning everything into a pentacle. He sealed the energy off as he drew the last point of the star and felt an massive energy drain. Now nothing could get in or out for the next three days.
Forcing himself up the stairs he went to Winifred and began helping her. He was pretty sure he'd have to remove the bullet.
