"I'm still not used to that pain." Peter answered.
The pain was what broke his concentration, even though he was merely focusing on seeing the bones in his hand shifting and changing. IT was probably instinct that caused him to lose concentration due to the pain. Though he knew he was gonna have to overcome that in this cause. After all, this was going to help....wasn't it? He already accepted the warning, so no turning back now.
Isabelle seemed very confident on the fact he had the ability. Peter wasn't going to fight that if he did have it. After all, the pain was real in his hand and he couldn't of just made that up or imagined it. Sitting here wouldn't do anything for him though, really he should start trying again. Though fighting any part of it wouldn't help him at all, the pain was the main problem. He still wasn't used to it.

"Oh yeah, you said you've only been like this for three months," She said, she had forgotten for a moment that they needed to take it slow because he was new to all this. He did have the ability though, that in itself was amazing.
"You can keep trying or take a break, I have no idea what you were thinking about but it seemed to be working. Either way I'll be right back," She said as she started off into the woods after gathering what cloths fell off of her when she shifted to wolf, thank God she didn't destroy another set of cloths by turning into her werewolf form accidentally.
It wasn't long before she was back with Peter. She sat down beside him, now in human form and carefully keeping her thoughts away from her other forms. At least that accident didn't happen often. "I wonder if you have a wolf form like that, let's work on the werewolf form first of course but we can see about that later," She said in a wondering tone. She was curious about Peter since it was rare for her to make a werewolf like herself instead of a normal one. Of course if he was completely like her than he did have a wolf form that they would work on getting to come out later.

"Yeah..." Peter muttered.
Three months...it was a bit of a hard thing to believe but it was true. As Isabelle left, Peter sighed as he sat there. Well trying again was the only thing he could think of doing. So closing his eyes, he tried once more. Picturing his hand changing again like it had two days ago, he did his best to be patient. Though his thoughts were broken when Isabelle came back and he turned his gaze to her.
"We'll found out eventually." Peter said with a smile.
Taking a deep breathe as he turned his gaze away from her, he exhaled. Alright now it was to the concentrating part and thus focus. Just stay patient and focus, don't force anything. He was able to picture what he could remember just fine, thus seeing his hand change was something he could recall clearly. Course when the cracking started a few bones in his hand visibly shifted under the skin, it was a bit hard to stay focused.
Don't lose focus.....just...stay focused... Peter thought as he shifted in his seat, trying to keep his focus.
It was easy to see that ignoring pain was a hard thing for Peter, anyone could see that. The bones continued to shift and thus the size of his hand started to increase. The pain was really starting to get to him though. His expression showed his discomfort as his eyebrows were lowered and he was close to clenching his jaw shut. He wasn't forcing the change but he was trying not to resist the pain and therefore shove it to the side and break his concentration.

Izzy could tell she had broken his concentration and she sat still and watched as she waited patiently for something to happen. It wasn't long before she heard bones cracking again and she looked down at the hand that had partially changed earlier. It was larger and she could see the bones moving under the skin.
She looked back up at his face seeing how close he was to lousing focus. It didn't seem he was far off, it looked like he was having a hard time pushing the pain to the side while still allowing himself to change. It was difficult at first, she had to admit that it was different when you were forced to change. She watched waiting for the pain to break his concentration or the transformation to complete.
She seemed more patient but also was acting more responsible. She felt that she had to act this way because she was acting as a teacher of sorts for Peter. Patience was never her strong suite though and she stood up quietly and went to see if there was somewhere close by that she could pace. She headed outside so she wouldn't bother Peter with it when he was having trouble concentrating through the pain anyway.
Leaving Peter in the house and going back into the forest in front of the house she went back to where Peter had seen her shift and started to pace. Surely Peter could find her, she left the door open and if he succeeded this time his senses would be even better in that form so he could follow her scent, not like he couldn't see her anyway.

The hand continued to turn, claws took their place at his fingertips and the fur was starting to appear. Course the change was starting to go up his arm as well. The muscles tensed at first and then started to enlarge as well. This was still rather painful for Peter and the pain was really getting to him, his focus on the change was starting to wain and become harder. Instinctively, Peter's free hand went to where the bite mark's scar was as the change started to reach it.
The pain just got worse and much stronger and as the shoulder made a few cracking sounds as it attempted change. The change struck his ribs and it caused Peter to yell in pain as he doubled over thus wrapping his arms around his sides. Focus was broken and any change that was trying to happen stopped. Taking a few moments to catch his breath as his heart was beating fast due to the pain. Opening his eyes, he turned his gaze to his hand his emerald gaze widened.
"Isabelle?" Peter called out, noticing that she wasn't in here anymore.
Once she came, he would hold up his arm. Revealing it to be a furry mass with a large paw like hand. Course if she looked at the rest of his arm under the shirt and jacket, she would see that it too was bigger than his other arm. Peter exhaled as he sat there, trying to figure out what to say.
"I think I got stuck...." Peter said nervously.

When Izzy heard Peter scream she looked toward the house, sounds like the pain finally got to him she thought. Thinking he would try again she stayed outside but when he called out to her she went back in. When she got inside a few moments later she had to hold back laughter.
"Um, wow. I don't know weather to tell you to try and change completely or tell you to change back. To change back you basically do the same thing as shifting into your werewolf form willingly, only you think about something from your human side. Like instead of focusing on shifting you focus on what you see in the mirror every morning or certain memories," She said not really knowing how to put what she meant. It was up to him weather he wanted to shift back or try to shift to werewolf form completely. She waited for him to try it while still trying not to laugh, laughing wouldn't be helpful.

"Yeah.....only way I could thin of describing this predicament." Peter said as Isabelle saw the arm.
You'd have to admit at least he managed to do something. Hearing Isabelle's instructions, he took a breath and concentrated. It would be best to do the whole change later. Like she said, too much changing could do harm. So it was probably better to the change at once then in steps. He knew what his own arm looked like normally, that was easy to picture. So when the sudden and loud snapping of bones went off, it made Peter winced. The arm's size shrank down, fur disappeared, the claws became fingernails, and in a matter of moments his arm was normal again.
"I think a break is in order." Peter said with a light smile as he lowered his arm.

"It was a good way to describe it, I mean at least I knew what you meant," She said finally giving up and just laughed.
She watched as his arm went back to normal. Well at least he was good at that. Was it her or did that not look like it hurt as much?
"You deserve a break. Hey is that starting to not hurt as much?" She asked curious but happy for him. As long as he didn't try to push the shift away at the full moon it might be better if he could willingly shift, it might help him ignore the pain more. Help it dull to the point that he just had a dull ache the next day.
"Oh and one more piece of advice, avoid the city and traffic as much as possible. A blaring car horn can put you in a really bad mood, and it hurts," She sad after a few minuets without talking. There were times she wished she could turn her heightened senses off. but sadly it was impossible.

For some reason it just felt so much easier to have it revert back. Seeing Isabelle laugh, Peter couldn't help but give a shy smile. It was probably funny to someone who was born with this. But no reason to hold it against her.
"Well...I'm not sure. It just felt a whole lot easier to do." Peter answered. "I really didn't notice any pain."
A shrug followed at the end of his sentence as he stood up. He really wasn't sure on it. Yeah that made sense. The avoiding city traffic and all.
"Perhaps I really should move back into my old room at PIDA...it's really quiet there." Peter suggested.

Isabelle really did try not to laugh, it was funny to her to watch someone else try and figure it out. She had been laughed at when she was younger for the same thing, now she understood why they had laughed.
"That's a good sign, it should get a bit easier on the full moon too then. This may end up helping but remember what happened when I thought about shifting," She warned, she was actually liking helping him.
She was glad that it was getting easier, he'd be able to shift without a problem before to long. She was happy for him though, maybe this would make him feel in control. She was extremely glad he took her warning about the city traffic, come to think of it he was with her when the horn went off right beside her three months ago. That had been after he was changed to.
"I live in the small town, it's quieter than the city but it's still away from PIDA headquarters. That's another option," She said in a thoughtful tone. It really was quiet there, they had started to have trouble recently but that was mostly with the supernatural. She smiled at Peter, she wished she had never bitten him, or rather that her wolf hadn't.

"I shall." Peter said.
Was it getting easier? Or was his body just helping him revert his arm faster since it knew it wasn't time? he didn't know. All he knew was it was less painful when his arm went back to normal. A small town? Peter never lived in a small town but the thought had come to him a few times when he was old enough to leave the realities that raised him after his parents died.
"I've thought about moving there after I left home the first time." Peter added. "I don't really think I have enough to buy a house no matter how small nor what homes are available. I just...never really looked into ti."

She nodded, as long as he remembered that he shouldn't accidentally shift. Of course at that time she had been forced to think about it because she was thinking about how to explain it.
She took a deep breath, she could tell this wasn't going to be easy. It didn't matter that they were working at it hard, she felt she had ruined Peter's life. She felt that she had physically hurt him when it wasn't even her conscious mind that did it.
"You should, I think there is a house going up for sale not to far from mine. I could look into it for you if you'd like. I'll even help you pay for it, if you need me to," She said. If he shifted there on a day off or something it would be better than in headquarters considering it was possible to louse track of time, she had done it a few times. And the house she was talking about, like hers, was on the edge of town. It was perfect if he wanted to take a run at any time because of it to. Izzy looked at Peter hopefully, wondering if he would accept.

Peter was surprised at the offer. Sure he did ask for her help but....to have her help pay for a house? That was too much. She was already doing so much for him. He doubted that he would've discovered the ability on his own. What would've happened if he did discovered it on his own though? It probably wouldn't have been good.
"I...I don't know....y..you're already doing so much..." Peter started, not sure on how to but it.
It was clear he was struggling to figure out what to say. Sure he was glad for the offer but should he take it? He didn't know Isabelle's financial situation so was it really best? Peter was nervous and so deeply unsure, she was helping already. She was helping him gain control. Putting his hands together, he was really trying to figure out what to do.
I can't accept it can I? She's already helping me, really her helping me to control it and shift is so much. Peter thought.
Everything was racing through his mind, he was really trying to figure out what to do. He was focused on that. Though that focused seemed to be going everywhere since he was sort of turning into his nervous wreck version that had started to emerge after being bitten by Isabelle.

Izzy tilted her head to the side, if she was in wolf form she would look like a confused dog. As Peter spoke of her offer, it almost sounded like he wanted to deny it.
"It wouldn't be to much, my house is payed for and I wouldn't mind helping. I'm the only one who can actually help you with this so it makes sense for you to be nearby in my opinion," She said to him. She was honestly just helpful. She had saved everything from her first year of work and bought the house flat out. She had some saved up now, it was an okay amount and she hardly ever touched it. It wasn't hard to do, it was out of sight tucked away gaining interest.
"Honestly I don't mind but if you don't want to I'm not going to force you to," She said with a smile. If he ever wanted to work on anything he could find her, they could plan to meet up in the woods to work on his ability till then if he refused.

"I...I know you're the only who can help w...with this." Peter started.
Well Peter had to use his pay to pay for the time in the hospital. So really he didn't have money to spend on buying a house. He hadn't thought much of it. If Guil told the highers already then they might want him to stay at PIDA. Thus buying a new house was impossible if that was the case.
"I'm...I...I'm just a little...un..unsure on the matter." Peter managed to say.
