Uncertainty of Change

"I have to move you." Kendra said.They simply could not stay where the fighting was. She was scared for Derrick's life.

"They'll kill or cage you." She meant that for both sides. The wolves would kill him on sight and so might humans. The humans would cage him if they had the time, she knew it, just knew it. Derrick had been infected by the bite and the burning was the virus spreading through him. He might not immediately change but the virus was painful as it spread.

"Let me." She looked up and saw Xerxes there. She had never been so glad to see him, and it showed on her face. Xerxes had seen them come out the window and with all the fighting no one noticed them. Kendra clearly only cared to get him out of the fighting. Xerxes knew that if she was caught taking the man it was going to be a world of trouble on both ends.
