I ran for my crypt. I would have flown but it was too late. Too close to the moonrise for me to change. If I changed now, I would stay that way, and I wouldn’t be the one in control.
I was late. Something had happened. I didn’t know what it was, but somehow I had lost time. Valuable time. The day before the full moon, and I was late. I was never a praying women, but right now I was grasping at straws. I prayed as I ran, jumping over headstones, dodging concrete angels reaching for their lord. Prayed that when I woke in the morning that it would be to the inside of my crypt, with a few scrapes and bruises, and not to the memories of those I had murdered in my mental absence.
If I didn’t make it to my crypt in time, people would die.

I was spending a lot of time here lately. Guess I was just loking for some good ground to put Charlotte, I guess.
As i was looking around, i saw Belle running past. It took me a while to figure out why. Night before the full moon.
"Hell," I muttered, pulling out my small crossbow. I readied two bolts, both magic. Something else I was doing a lot; forging new weapons, magic for the most part. These two in particular would knock were's, any kind, out for a while. Given the size of Belle's transformation, two would be needed to keep her out all night. All they needed were the words engraved on the heads.
I moved quickly next to Belle, who noticed teh crossbow.
"Knockouts," I assured her. "Just in case. Don't worry. They'll work."

"And even if they don't, a dragon can hold off another one for a while." I said, coming up behind them.

"Good," I said to both of them And I poured on the speed. The crypt was now only a block away. 'Almost there,' I thought to myself. 'Almost there. We're gonna make it.'
And just as I thought that, the transformation hit me. Early.
I was unconcious as soon as I hit the ground.
(((Don't react just yet. I have a plan.)))

I woke as Belle slept. I was finially free! I felt the transformation happening. Wings sprouted, claws appeared, and my tail slithered from my spine. But I lay still. I knew I was in danger. I felt two people standing not far away.
When I was fully Drake, I slowly lifted my massive head, and blinked open my large blue eyes.
"Please don't shoot," I said, in a growl of a voice. "I mean you no harm."

"Woah" I said, "Er, Belle?" I asked in confusion.

"Umm..." I said. "In a manner of speaking. I am the drake."

I watched from my perch on top a crypt some distance away.
"Why do i get the feeling this is less than good?" I murmured to myself. But i stayed back, down wind and out of sight.

I slowly stood and streched, still warry of the crossbow wielding human. Doc, I think his name was.
"You are probably wondering what is going on. As I said, I am the Drake that lives within BelleDraco. When a were-drake reaches a half millenium in age, the drake becomes tame, senitent. Usually, the drake half is denied, and never controlled, so it is usually killed within the first few years of life. Because Belle was such a kind and selfsacrifising soul, she has come of age, and I am now free." I lifted my head, looking sadly at the nearly full moon that hung over head. "Alas, it is a limited freedom. I still can only come out the three nights of the full moon. So please don't shoot. We are still quite mortal."

"That is quite amazing." I said quietly as I wandered over, my gaze never quite leaving the creature in front of me. "So are you still a part of Belle's brain when it's not a full moon, can you like understand everything that's going on or is it just like a really long sleep?"

"Not kill," I said. "Knockout. Secificaly for weres. Belles a friend of mine, and I don't have too many of those. Wait a sec. Nicki? WTF?"
(((You didn't say you could control the wolf yet, did you? Because this is the night before the full moon. You should be a wolf, shouldn't you?)))

"Oh, my, this could be bad," I said, just noticing the were-wolf standing before me. I looked up to the sky again. "The full moon has not fully risen yet. I was able to induse Belle's transformation early. But we must hurry, I can take you to Belle's crypt."
