Dreams

"Nevermind her. Like I said, she's irritable in the mornings. Lycanthropics can be found in all manner of creature form."

Catherine tightens her grip. "For some reason I thought they would just be wolf like."

Richard looks at her a little puzzled. "Really? You've only been reborn for a little over a day. You've never run into any lycanthropics. Why would you think that?"

"I don't know? It just seemed to be in my mind that that's what they should be." Catherine looks at Richard.
"Is that bad?"

"No. Not 'bad'. it's just that, when one us becomes re-born, our personal memories vanish almost completely. Some say it's something our bodies do to prevent us from going insane."
Catherine holds Richards arm tighter. "There are a few of us that retain some vague memory, but they usually only show up in our dreams. And even then, nothing can really be understood."

"Do you have any?... dreams I mean?" Catherine bites her lip.

"No" Richards states abruptly. He pulls his arm away from Catherine and moves forward the Valerie's position. Catherine looks upset.

"Valerie..." Richard whispers to her as he kneels down. Both are on a boulder looking down into a small valley. " You stopped. What is it?"

Valerie stoops down further, her ears now partially turned animalistic.

"Humans... a small party. From the sounds they're making, heavily armed. Maybe they were from that group you fought with a few nights ago. Someone escape?"

"Not that I could tell. I was...um..." Richards voice grows shallow as Catherine comes closer. "out of sorts."

Valerie growls as she comes closer. "Get down, you stupid woman. Do you WANT them to spot us?!"

Catherine drops as fast as she can, landing on her knee.

"Ow.... Sorry, I didn't know" She rubs her knee hard.

"Try to do the same thing I tought you earlier. Visualize and concentrate." Richard says while not turning to her.

Valerie turns to look at her. "Oh, that's just disgusting. Go over by that tree and do that. I have a sensitive nose you know."

Richard turns to see. "What's the matt... oh..."

Richard looks to see that Catherine has ripped a knee cap right off and has obviously broken her leg.
"Come on, let's move to the tree & i'll try to help you out."
