the preserve: monday morning

[halfbad]

Nathan's heart was racing when he woke up. He looked around, expecting to see a Hunter appear from behind a tree or maybe Kieran's face above him. The preserve was quiet though. Undisturbed. There was a feeling in Nathan's gut that he hadn't felt before, though. A bloodlust that had seemed stronger during his sleep but hadn't faded completely

There was a shuffling sound a dozen or so yards away, then Anders' uncertain voice. He'd gotten pretty good at finding Nathan in the woods, but today was different somehow.

Possibly because Nathan was shouting.

"Nathan? What's wrong with what?"

[OOC: SP is win.]

"Go away," was the answer Nathan gave in a sharp voice. "Go away. I want to be alone."

Anders recoiled as if he'd been slapped. He emerged from behind the trees to look at Nathan, frowning.

"What?"

There was no possible way Nathan meant what he said, was there?

"I want to be alone," he repeated, keeping his back to Anders. "Leave me alone! Please."

He had to figure this out on his own. There wasn't anyone else around here who'd understand what he was feeling.
