In Regards to Werewolves (Red/Victor/Granny/Pack)

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

"Well, I could do my usual burnt scrambled eggs, you butter the toast, grab some fruit, and well just bring it back in here." She gave him a look. "Okay... YOU make the eggs to perfection, and I'll burn the toast." She leaned in to kiss him. They both slid on the minimal amount of clothing and went to the kitchen.

"So... how does it work?" Victor finally asked, after getting pleasantly harassed a few times due to his boxerbreif state while he made toast and sliced some fruit. "In the movies, just a bite or scratch does it... but I've already BEEN bitten, when you marked me." He looked over at her, popping a piece of pineapple in his mouth. "Is there some kind of profane ritual to it? I'm going to have to dance naked in front of a fire, aren't I..."

[Red Riding Hood/ Ruby]

"Mhmm, 'cept there's usually pot involved," She winked, taking a bite of toast- slightly burnt on the bottom," Actually... well, I'm not sure about the 'pack ritual' part of it, but I think this is similar to the 'marking' bite.... but I thought this one... it's suppose to be in a more threatening area- shoulder, I'm going to say... " she bit her lip, knowing that this step was much more dangerous than the mark.

"We'll have the pack around for support though," She offered a weak smile and kissed his chek,"And I promise I'll be gentle"

[Maria Barnes/ Delilah]

Delilah struggled with this choice all night and probably at least smoked a pack of cigarettes coming to terms with the answer. She would have made a pro's and con's list to but that was just stupid.

Truth was she would be betraying Toby and she wasn't sure how she felt about that. He was out of control and she had to do something about it. She toyed with a lot of ways to handle this but in the end this was the easiest and if they didn't believe her well then at least she tried.

She took a breath and knocked on the door. Damn it this was going to be a pain in the ass and she already wanted another smoke man she should probably invest in some gum or some shit cause cancer wasn't on her agenda plus and more so she didn't want Tobias to be right.

They better just believe her so she could get this shit over with.

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

Victor heard the knock.

He frowned, realizing he should probably put some pants on. He went to the bedroom and put them on, sliding his button down shirt over his shoulders.

He opened the door, expecting Tobias to be checking in, but it was... what was her name... Delilah? She pushed her way past him before he could say anything.

"Goood morning to you too." He muttered under his breath, closing the door behind her.

[Red Riding Hood/ Ruby]

Red looked up from the table, she was hardly decent in her bra and panties, she blushed as she grabbed a blanket from a chair and wrapped it around her.

"Delilah? What are you doing here, I didn't think we were going to... not till tonight," She couldn't say she was happy to see the other she-wolf here, not after the other night with Tobias even if technically she didn't do anything wrong.... except maybe help kidnap her mate- but even Red wasn't so sure about that.

Red quickly went over to Victor, instinctively now overprotective over him in the presence of this other wolf- one who betrayed her trust... sort of.... Truthfully Red still wanted her as a friend- or at least awkward acquaintance, but after such a quick turn of alliance she wasn't so sure.

But then that's how Packs work, very rarely do more than one or two members fight the alpha, only a brave few and the rest will almost always oppose the rebel for the sake of pack unity.

[Maria Barnes/ Delilah]

"Breath wolf I am not here for that I am here because well I don't like whats about to go down. So I am risking my hide to save you I hope your grateful. Now its true Tobias wants you change but trust me its not because of the wolf mate thing." Delilah paused for a moment then took a breath before she continued.

"He will challenge you once your changed and then fight you for mate ship over Ruby. See this is what he wants and you little man will not stand in his way. I'm warning you because well never mind why I don't like seeing senseless death and believe me you will die there is no way a new wolf can take him on."

"So take my advice don't change him if you want him to live because its the laws of the pack he will have to fight the alpha if he is challenged." Delilah waited for their response.

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

Whale swallowed hard.

Just when he was warming up to the idea of actually BEING a werewolf... it didn't even MATTER??? He needed to sit down. He plopped down in a chair at the table and ran his hands through his hair nervously.

"Why...why does he want Red?" He asked. "Aside from the obvious... WHY does he want her if she is already mated to someone else?"

[Maria Barnes/ Delilah]

Delilah shot him a look, "Oh well some promise he made to her mother about having her join the pack. What he wants he usually gets and I don't pretend to know how his little mind works. All I know is I am risking my ass to come here and warn you." Delilah walked closer to the table Ruby was sitting at.

"So, you have a choice now normally I'm the first person who will tell you to change him but I know what will happen if you do." Delilah stalked to the door really needing a smoke and possibly a bottle of jack.

[Red Riding Hood/ Ruby]

He... what?? Ruby couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by this situation, didn't she have any say in this? Maybe she doesn't want to be Tobias's mate!

She bit her lip in frustration then looked over at Victor, who wasn't doing any better. She let out a breath and walked over to him, gently rubbing his shoulders. They had to figure out something, anything.

"Wait, Delilah," She called out walking between her and the door," Please, can we talk about this? There has to be something we can do? I mean.... this can't be all there is to it, there has to be a way out" Her voice cracked from desperation,"... we... Dee, y-you could challenge him!"

The sudden thought hit her at the last second, the time she spent with her mother she learned the role of an alpha some what- believing she would succeed when Anita 'retired'.

"If you don't like the things that are being done you could challenge his authority as alpha!"

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

Victor looked at Red. A faint ray of hope...

Which was quickly smothered out once he glanced at Delilah. Asking her to do this would put HER life in danger... She'd never do that for a human she barely knew. Would she even CONSIDER it?

His hopes weren't high.

"There really isn't some wolf council we can make an appeal to?" He asked, lamely.

[Maria Barnes/ Delilah]

Delilah looked at Ruby, her challenge Tobias? she never thought about that actually if she was honest it never crossed her mind.
Could she even win and if she did maybe it was a chance at getting her old Toby back. Still it was risky she might not survive it.

Though Delilah had been a wolf longer then Toby and she was pretty sure she could hold her own against him.

"Yeah not gonna happen, you would do best to actually try to leave the back woods don't have as many guards so you might make it that way." Delilah said tossing Ruby a set of keys, "my car is parked at the red barn take it and get Victor as far away from here as possible. I'll make sure your path is clear." Delilah turned to go.

She wanted to say their words rolled off her back but she couldn't stop thinking about actually challenging Tobias for Alpha.

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

"And run WHERE?" Victor said to her, before she could leave. "Storybrooke is a lot more confining then you think." He huffed. "And with a werewolf that can pick up on your scent from miles away... yeah... I don't think so..."

"We have to face him." He said, determined. He looked at Red. "Change me... maybe I'll be able to hold my own..." He knew the chances of that were slim... but he didn't even want Red to THINK about going up against Tobias herself. She wasn't a killer. No matter how ferocious she seemed as a wolf; now that she was in control... she could never bring herself to do it...

[Maria Barnes/ Delilah]

"Ha you hold your own against him please. No your not going to be able to beat him. Your best bet is to run this is my last warning. You figure it out." Delilah was annoyed.

They could run maybe Tobias would give up eventually but she wasn't about to battle her alpha for him. "I'm out, good luck."

She made her way to the door, "My car is there if you want to go."

[Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein]

Victor stood up, taking Ruby in his arms. "Change me... and then we run..." Red didn't look too thrilled at the idea. "Running only delays the inevitable... and usually has WORSE consequences." He said, speaking from experience. "Trust me... I have run from things most of my life. You're not like that. But if you CHANGE me... then I won't be such a burden. I can PROTECT you..."

[Red Riding Hood/ Ruby]

"Victor..." She whispered, her voice wouldn't allow her to speak any louder.

She pressed her cheek against his chest, already feeling hot tears begin to fall," Where would we go? We can't leave Storybrooke, and there's no way back home... how long can we really live like that?" Red swallowed hard and looked at him," I believe you, I trust that you can protect me.... but the first transformation... it won't be something you'll be use too- I don't know how you'll react"

"Please.... there has to be something better than running...." She held him, not willing to let go," I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I can't let that be taken away like this"
