adrenaline
cw: brief mention of blood. take care :)
He wanted to run from it. the creature staring back at him in the reflection of the shattered window.
it was cold, and he felt clammy and his senses heightened. it was horrifying to him. his mind couldn’t reach the joyful moments, his friends, family… Sirius. he couldn’t reach them within his thoughts.
tragic, really, how things turned out. he couldn’t keep running from it. himself.
but part of him wanted to believe it wasn’t his body. wasn’t him, being distorted in the glass view of the night. like the grey-haired hound wasn’t the reflection.
that it was a lonesome wolf staring from outside in. but it wasn’t.
it was Remus Lupin. in his werewolf form, strangely placated at the sight of himself. he’d seen it many times before, after all.
he howled. bones aching, mind racing for something human to grasp onto, something or someone to stay sane.
but after the fight with Sirius… there was nothing to grapple onto. so he let himself sink.
and it was a split second of bliss, peace, unbroken silence where blood had not been spilled.
and then, the adrenaline kicked in.
