WHO: Malia Tate and OPEN
WHERE: Coming back from the park after the full moon
WHEN: This morning
WARNINGS: She killed and ate some bunnies?
SPOILERS? TBD


The full moon wasn't as difficult for Malia as it used to be. It used to be that she spent the whole night needing to be chained because she just wanted to tear apart any living creature that dared to come anywhere near her. She and Stiles had worked on that a lot and she'd found at least the edges of her humanity. When she held tight to that, even if she happened to be in coyote form at the time, she could control her violence far better than she'd been able to before.

Last night, she'd managed not to hurt anyone except for two bunnies, which she'd then eaten. Sure, she killed animals, but she didn't waste them because you didn't waste food. Even years after she'd been a coyote full time, she still remembered what it was to be hungry and never wasted a kill.

She'd shifted back around dawn, and dressed in the clothes she'd left by a tree in the park for that purpose. She'd wiped the rabbit blood from her face as best she could and started back towards her apartment. As always, she was exhausted after the full moon, and was looking forward to finding her bed and getting some rest. And a shower. Definitely a shower.
