Summary: Somebody's getting wolf-nabbed.

After all that had happened on Friday, Michael wanted to check in on Lavender as much as possible. He was due in at work in an hour, but he wanted to be certain that she was doing alright before he went in. Everyone was on edge after Seamus' mother's death, Dean's being missing, and Smith's stupid announcement on the WWN about the DA. But none of them had Greyback stalking around looking to finish them off or whatever he was hoping to do, so he could only imagine what it was like for Lavender right now. He was trying his best, but he wasn't really sure that he was all that helpful to her. Anthony did not seem to be quite as thoughtful about the situation as Michael was and while he understood that his mate was worried about him, he wasn't just going to leave Lavender alone to deal with all of it.

Michael apparated to the spot behind the house, just in the woods where Sylvia had told him to apparate to as to not be seen by the Muggles who lived nearby. It kept him out of sight, both from the other houses but also to the Brown house as well. He was about to step forward toward the back of Lavender's house but was hindered from doing so almost immediately after arriving.

Fenrir nodded to her. "Siobhan," he repeated, as if tasting it. "Very nice, it suits you," he said quietly to her. He was amused by how his fun with the bloke was going, though he didn't show it. He pulled the stick back out of the fire and took a few more swings at him before Siobhan decided to interfere. At first he was furious, but he calmed before he could make any move to hit her. He wasn't interested in hurting her, that wouldn't work well with his plan, and after going through all the work to keep her alive and untouched by the others, the last thing he needed was to actually go back on his promise to not hurt her. Still, she was interfering annoyingly.

Her words were interesting though. He handed the stick off to one of the other guys, who made a move forward to continue his attacking of the bloke, but he put a hand up to stop him. "You'll stay put and not give me anymore trouble?" he asked, a stern look on his face. That was when he noticed the journal that had fallen out of the bloke's pocket, and he stepped forward, leaned down, and picked it up. He flipped through it, and it was clear that multiple people had written in it, or were communicating through it, or something. "What is this little gem?" he asked, reading a few of the conversations and scowling at them.

Michael was temporarily startled by Siobhan's interference. He would never have dreamed that she would jump in front of him and try to stop Greyback from doing this, no matter what she did for a living. Maybe she was used to facing danger in her job, but after being here she had to be frightened. And Michael's flesh was burning, what was she thinking? "Shiv, no!" he cried, his voice cracking and almost foreign in his own mouth. He could barely speak for having screamed so much, but he couldn't have this. He couldn't have her trying to sacrifice herself for him; he wasn't worth it. He'd told Lavender, he'd told Anthony - he just wasn't worth that.

Trying his best to ignore the burning pain in his arm and his eye, he tried to stagger to his feet. He stumbled and fell the first time and then the second as well. "Shiv, you can't-" he said, finally realising he wasn't going to be able to get up in this state. He tried to reach out for her with the arm that had not been hit, but he burned all over, even where he wasn't actually burning. Michael's head shot up when Greyback spoke and he could barely see through his good eye that he was now holding up Michael's journal in his hands. "Just - just a journal," he said, wondering why he would be interested in it at all. Michael turend his attention back to Siobhan. "Shiv, please, don't-" he begged with as few words as possible, his throat tasting dry and hoarse.

She hated the sound of her name coming from him, but she tried not to react to him saying it, and she didn't move from where she was between Michael and Fenrir. She could see that he had gotten angry, but she also noticed when that anger ran out of him and he passed off the stick to another of his pack, and she couldn't help the slightly smug expression that came across her face. She wasn't naive enough to think that he wouldn't go against his promise to her no matter what, but if he wanted her to stay in his pack after he turned her, and it seemed like he did, then he'd have to keep it through this situation.

She turned around toward Michael when he started scrambling and tried to soothe him. She'd have had to stay if they killed him, and she'd have to stay if they let him go, so in her mind, she wasn't really making any concessions. "It's okay. He won't hurt me. At least, I don't think he will." As she spoke, she used as quiet a voice as she could while still making sure he could hear her. As she turned back around to face the head werewolf, her body and her face was set with determination to save her friend from him. "I'll stay put, but I can't guarantee no problems."

That was when she saw him pick up the journal. If he didn't find out what it was, and she was left alone with it in the cave, she could get a message out so there would be a better chance Michael would be okday. Unfortunately, a bit of that hope was probably on her face.

It was amusing the way his pack mates looked at him while the girl talked, clearly unsure of how Fenrir was going to take being spoken to in this manor. He doubted they expected his response though, because after she said she couldn't guarantee no problems, Fenrir broke out into a loud bark of a laugh. "You do have some fire in you, don't you sweetheart? I think I can work with that, will make things much more interesting in the future." He gave her one of his extremely rare smiles, which while still creepy, was a bit more genuine than his evil smirks.

Still, despite the turn of events with the girl, he was still very interested in the journal in his hand, and the way the two of them looked at it. Clearly it was something important, and he wasn't expecting to get any answers out of them, so he turned to his pack mates with a quizical look on his face, waiting for an answer. "It's probably one of those journals we've been hearing about. You can talk to others through it, write a message, it appears in the other person's journal," one of his guys said.

Fenrir took a look at it more closely, that explained why there seemed to be conversations in it, rather than just journal prattlings. "Well, isn't that interesting? I think I just found a way to tell that Brown girl that her beloved here isn't coming back any time soon, and no aurors necessary." he smirked at Michael before stepping towards Siobhan. Fenrir leaned down and pulled her up off the ground. "I think you've had enough excitement for the night, boys, do what you want to him, just don't kill him." Fenrir left the bloke in the hands of his pack and walked Siobhan back to his cave.

Michael didn't like the fact that Greyback had taken his journal. He didn't know what he'd say to Lavender but he knew it would only make her freak out more. That's the last thing she needed right now. But he had more urgent things to attend to, so he tried his best to put it in the back of his mind.

"Shiv! You can't - he will hurt you!" Michael called after them as Greyback walked away with her. He could still barely speak though and it came out as more of a hoarse whisper than anything else. She was going to be turned if she stayed here any longer. He had to get her out of here. But that meant enduring the torture that they had in store for him today, if not tomorrow or the next. He didn't know how long he'd have to wait for a good opening to try and escape as a wolf. The best he could hope for was a time when he wasn't in so much pain that he could barely move because right now, he couldn't even stand, much less run on all fours, and then he had to figure out how to get Shiv out of the place they were keeping her hidden in. Greyback was keeping her like a pet and it as fucking sick. Michael wouldn't stand for it, no matter what he had to do. He'd save her. He just had to.

He closed his eyes as the pack circled around him and tried his best to go somewhere else; he didn't know how long this would last but he did know that it wasn't going to be pleasant...
