Hungry Like the Wolf
[by victoria p.]

Rating: PG

Summary: The wolf wants...

Spoilers: None

Notes: An outtake from All the Sinners, Saints. Originally supposed to represent "Avarice" in the Seven Deadly Sins, it didn't really work for that, but DD and Bethy convinced me it was worth keeping anyway. Thanks, mes amies. Thanks as always to Jen, Pete/Melissa, Dot, and Meg for everything. Title snagged from Duran Duran. *g*

Date: September 24, 2003

He remembers the moon spilling silver on the ground, the trees casting shadows in which to play, the air cool and fresh in his fur. He remembers running all night, pack at his side.

He's caged now, no room to run, no pack. He flings himself at the door, which rattles but doesn't give. He whines and howls, angry, hungry for blood, for the feel of the earth beneath his paws. He turns his anger on the only available target.

Remus wakes in a pool of his own blood, his left shoulder a grisly mass of shredded muscle.

Some days, he wishes he didn't wake at all.
