RP:Dominique, Remus, Ted, & Bill Who: Dominique Weasley, Remus Lupin, Ted Lupin, & Bill Weasley When: Night, 31 December 2024/Morning, 1 January 2025 Where: The Burrow's Orchard/Shell Cottage Warnings: Violence, language? Summary: Dominique has her first transformation.
Janus faced. She'd end the old year as a wolf and start the new year as one. How fitting. Shivering in the cool air, Dominique pulled the robe closer around her shoulders as she stepped behind the henge, out of sight from anybody. These were literal demons she had to face on her own. Even so, she couldn't help but feel like the virgin sacrifice offered up to appease angry gods.
But that wasn't a line of thought she was going to follow. Glancing skywards she looked towards where she knew the moon ought to be. Where it would be coming soon. Dominique could feel it pulling at her and suddenly a feeling of calm washed over her. Oh, she was still terrified, but she was facing the inevitable. There was no use fighting any longer.
Shucking off her robe, she stood skyclad, face still tilted towards she sky, breath bated. She was the thing nightmares were made of.
Pain. That was the first thing that registered when moonlight began to wash over her still form. Pain, she could not hold back even if she tried. Letting out a scream that turned into a yelp as vocal cords changed, Dominique fell to her knees as the most basic of physiology changed from primate to canine. Fur sprouted across her skin and her knees shook with pain, too unsteady to hold herself up as she fell to her side, another howl of pain bursting forth.
As the Change finished, Dominique lay there, panting, trying to catch her breath. Everything was more and less at the same time. Gingerly, she stood up, walking unsteadily for a bit before she got used to coordinating. Then she could smell them, the Other and not-Other. She went to investigate.
