Something must have triggered in her barely functioning brain. She asked, “Who lives here?”
William faced her with his full attention. He looked her dead in the eye and said simply, “Shape shifters.”
The girl seemed confused and she cocked her head to side slightly. “What are those?”
William hated himself but there was only one way to show this girl. He tightened his grip on the girl’s wrist and shifted into his werewolf form. The girl screamed and pulled against his massive claw. She was punching him and pulling against him with everything she had. William looked down at the short girl and let her go.
She fell back hard on the stone street. William had shifted back into his human form before she could even begin to pick herself up. William reached down and grabbed at the girls flailing arms as she tried to get up and run away. The girl stared at him.
William stared back evenly at her and said calmly, “Everyone here in this city is like me. We have all trained and worked very hard to control our demons.” He softened his voice noticeably, “My demon was… worse than most.” He looked her up and down. The girl became very uncomfortable which he supposed was the point.
The girl was a lot calmer than he thought she was capable of. Her pale blue eyes searched his features until she finally asked the obvious question, “Then why am I here?”
He pulled her in toward him, “You’re here because you have been given a similar gift. You’re here so you don’t kill yourself discovering what it is.” William gently pulled on the girls arm raising her up off the street. The girl nodded her thanks sullenly and William turned back around and followed after the main group. They must have stopped and come back when they heard the girl scream, it would have been impossible for them to miss it.
He still had a firm grip on her arm but she was no longer struggling against him, nor was she clopping along loudly like a protesting child. She walked next to him quietly. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. When she wasn't screaming hysterically or trying to club him with her fists, she was fairly attractive. Her body was fit and her muscles were toned. William had not had the opportunity to see her dance back at the club but if her body was any indication she was probably pretty good at what she did.
William allowed himself the moment to admire the girl out of the corner of his eye. Her bust was well proportioned to her frame and perky. They were fake of course, but they fit her body well. Her hair was very disheveled, but the fine beautiful strands shone in the light from the surrounding cavern. Her outfit seemed to ride up and accentuate her sexuality. She kept reaching down, trying to pull her very short skirt lower down her toned legs. The fabric carried some elasticity and did stay were she pulled it to, but after a step or two her skirt had ridden up her legs to rest just over the bottom curvature of her butt. William made himself stop looking at her. Seeing this girl wear her sex openly was a change to what he was used to.

This girl, and how she dressed, was very out of place in the city. He couldn't help but think back to all those showers with Katherine. She had been naked and her boobs were bigger than this girl's and just as perky. Katherine had not caused the stirring in him that this girl next to him was causing him to have. It made him remember just how long it had been.
'Lacey' had managed to recover some of her dignity or at least she was showing more. She was walking next to him with a strong gait to her walk neither hurried nor slow. She held her head upright and she had her hair back behind her shoulders. Whether this was something that she had always been capable of doing, or if she was picking up a queue from Ansuya or Katherine, he couldn't guess.
William knew the city, but these streets was decidedly unfamiliar to him. He glanced at the surrounding buildings. The uneven ledges and strange walkways connecting some buildings, the gaping open doors that yawned empty black at him. There hadn't been many people living on this side of the city for a while. His eye caught a glimpse of something shine at him through the blackness of one of the buildings. As he was walking he couldn't identify where the strange glint of light had come from. He knew that he couldn't stop just to find out what it had been so he refocused his attention on the group in front of him.
William looked ahead as the Tower slowly rose above the city in front of him. 'Lacey' gasped softly, “What's in there?” She asked with her eyes locked on the monolithic structure.
Only one thing came to William’s mind, “Only what you take with you,” he quoted.
'Lacey' turned toward him then and asked him flat out with just a bit of anger in her voice, “Is that all the wisdom you have for me, Yoda?”
He couldn't stop himself from smiling. It’s cool she got that reference.
“I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.” she said still looking at him intently.
William wiped the smile from his face and shook his head. He scratched at the back of head as he tried to find an answer that was appropriate. He looked straight into her pale blue eyes, only deathly seriousness was present in his voice and facial features. He said simply, “There are only two ways out of the Tower, and one of those... well, you won't care, about anything, at that point.” 'Lacey' just looked at him. He thought that she understood but he didn't think being any more specific with her would be of any help. He turned back toward the Tower and kept walking.
They were very close to the Tower and suddenly William felt compelled to ask her one more time. He turned to her and stopped walking. She almost pulled free of his hand but did eventually stop and returned his look. William glanced at the group that had stopped in front of them. He watched as Ares and Ansuya began walking back toward them. William refocused on the girl and asked, “What is your name? Please.”
