"Mrow?" he repeated, amused. He moved forward to crouch down next to her, reaching out to gently stroke her fur, ignoring his instincts. "That's not exactly a typical..."

His eyes widened in recognition and quiet surprise as she looked back at him, and something clicked in his mind. "Sarah?!" He'd known her presence felt familiar, but that prickling feeling had stopped him from recognizing her immediately. "But how... since when are you a cat?!"

[cloneororiginal]

Sarah was preparing to back away from Bowtie, wanting to run from him. Not for her safety, but his. She hadn't fed in nearly a full day. Her stomach was growling and the thought of drinking mice was very tempting. If she tried to bite Eleven...she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

She had one paw placed behind her when he recognized her. Shit! Well...better to come out about it now.

"Since I found out I can become one," she told him, voice dry and sarcastic. It was interesting to hear her voice coming out from a cat.

"How did you...why do you reek of wolf?"

[icanbuyafez]

"But how can you become a cat?!" He asked incredulously, then a moment later it hit him. His voice darkened, becoming softer and sadder. "Oh... you're a vampire."

He pulled back his sleeve in response to her question, showing her his arm - it was covered in vicious bites and scratches. "Werewolf," he explained quietly. "Are you all right?"

[cloneororiginal]

"Yes I am.." why was it that he sounded disappointed? As though she had done something wrong by being turned against her will. She was about to ask him how he knew when he rolled up his arm. Her eyes went to the bite and scratch marks on his skin.

"Who...were you ambushed?" her instincts were telling her to ignore him, to abandon him and hiss at him to go away. She had to focus on their friendship, not what her vampire side was telling her. The second question made her pull away from him, further into the shadows where her form shifted and changed back into her human self.

Well..human looking self.

"Let's just say I'd rather not go through this process again."

[icanbuyafez]

"I was out helping control all the rabid dogs and bats yesterday. Turns out... it wasn't rabies they were carrying. And the werewolf transformation... it isn't pretty." His eyes flit quickly to the marks on her wrist and neck. "At a guess, though... you weren't turned by any bat."

His eyes were knowing, seeing and mirroring the pain she way trying to hide. The tone of his voice grew stronger - a hint that the disappointment in his voice was not directed at her, but was instead on her behalf. "I'm so sorry you went through that, Sarah." He smiles at her sadly, expression open and helpless. "If you'd stayed a cat, I could have hugged you."

[cloneororiginal]

Why wasn't Sarah surprised to hear the Doctor was trying to solve something? He was the hero type, trying to fix things and do it himself. If he had someone else, maybe he wouldn't be in the state he's in. Maybe, if she reached out to him, he would've been fine.

The apology caught her off guard. It had the opposite effect of consoling her. She wanted to lash out or tell him to not utter a single breath about it. Just as her anger was coming to the surface, he shocked her again.

"Why?" she asked, tilting her head to the side as she crossed her arms.

"What would you do next after that? Adopt me?"

[icanbuyafez]

He saw the shock and the anger, but it didn't phase him. His eyes were full of sorrow and feeling, clear warmth and concern. His voice remained quiet, gentle. "Yes," he said simply. "The same way you did to me."

[cloneororiginal]

If Sarah's heart was still beating, it would've stopped from those words. He was trying to do the same thing she did for her. He was doing what he could to comfort her...and who knows, maybe he was holding himself accountable for what happened. He shouldn't, be he looked like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

A huge part of her wanted to close the gap between them and hug him. Her vampire instincts instantly hissed at that. Every fiber of her being was screaming no, so instead she changed forms again back into a cat.

"...you have your shot..." to pick her up and hold her if he really wanted to.

[icanbuyafez]

He came forward slowly and gingerly picked up the cat, holding her close. His fingers stroked gently across her back once, before coming to rest there, as he briefly touched his head to hers, the motion simultaneously consoling and intimate. He held the embrace for a long moment, then slowly lifted her away, and softly kissed her upon the head, as a parent might to comfort a hurting and beloved child.

Then he set her down gently again, and took a step away to help her with the instinctual aversion to his closeness which he knew, even without asking, that she felt too.

[cloneororiginal]

There was no sound of movement as she was picked up by him. Her eyes came to a close as their foreheads were pressed against each other. Though her instincts were crying, screaming and yelling at her to get away, she focused on the feelings passing between them. The grief, the pain and the hurt they both shared. What the island was putting them through was entirely fucked up, but they had no choice but to go along with it.

Hopefully in a few days, things would change back to how they were.

She licked his cheek with her tongue before he set her down. Just like him, she took a few steps back before changing forms.

"...thank you."

[icanbuyafez]

He nodded, slowly and sadly. "Always."

He glanced back the way he'd came. "...I'd probably better go." So as to stop aggravating her instincts. "I need to be far away from town by the time the moon comes up." Also true, though he didn't really need to leave nearly this early.
