The first sign of the direction Theresa had gone after the cafeteria incident was the mangled remains of a laptop buried next to a tree. The second sign was shredded remains of clothing balled up and stuffed into a hollow in a tree even deeper into the woods. Theresa was loping along slowly, the fur under her eyes wet as sh walked through the woods away from the school. Her eyes glowed green in the shadows of the woods.

Murphy follows the trail, unshifted, into the woods.
"Theresa?" Murphy calls out.

Theresa stops and looks around at the sound. "Go away," she responded before starting to walk again.

She turned around, the energy from her eyes making the wet fur under them glisten. "Love you. Hate this," she said, lifting one paw.

Murphy frowns. She kneels down and pats Theresa on the head.
"Let me help."

Theresa pulls her head away. "How? Curse makes me lash out at you. Makes me hate a best friend. How can you help?"

Theresa looked at her for a long moment. "Want to or have to?"

"Want you to be happy," Murphy says. "Nothing else."

"Tired of being angry all the time," she said, leaning against Murphy.

Murphy puts her arm around Theresa and holds her close.
"Me too."

"More important."

"Won't make you choose," she said, changing position to rest her head in Murphy's lap.

Murphy skritches Theresa behind the ears, "No choice. You. Every time."

"Scared." There was room in her tone for that to be a statement or a question.

"Yes. Good and bad." She whined slightly. "Love you. Scared I'll screw it all up."
