Since I was at street level, I was about to open a portal up to Penny's door, but a familiar pair of voices called my name, and I turned to see Wispy and Gwenth. Eliza must have given her unlimited amounts of free time, but if my little spy and Gwenth were spending time together and getting along, I didn't mind. It wasn't like I was serious about owning her after catching her; I was more concerned about seeing her do something productive.

"Hey, you two! How are you both doing?" I asked as I walked over to the front of Gwenth's shop that she was unlocking.

"I hope it is fine, but I was bringing Wispy for a sleepover. She has come a few times already, thanks to Eliza, but I don't know if she talked to you about it," Gwenth said, and I shook my head with a smile.

"Not a problem. I think that it is good that you girls are getting along now! How are things going in the shop?" I asked, curious to see if the inside had devolved into chaos again.

"That was actually why we called you over. Do you have a minute?" Gwenth asked, but I put up a hand.

"I would love to, but only if I can bring Penny along with me? I was just heading over to spend the night with her," I suggested, but both women flinched back.

"Oh, we can just show you tomorrow or when you have some spare time. You should probably be getting over to her since today is the full moon and all," Gwenth said uneasily, and I nodded.

"True enough. This is my first time dealing with a Werewolf in this kind of situation, so I am pretty curious as to how it will turn out," I said as I gestured for a portal just outside Penny's room.

"I suggest you take her somewhere secure or remote for the night. It would probably be safer that way. She normally uses the private cell in the back of the basement, below the Barracks," Gwenth explained, and I nodded.

"Thank you for the advice, and have a good night, girls," I said, and then stepped through the portal, letting it close behind me.

I was about to knock on the door, but I paused and drew a deep breath through my nose. The smell of female excitement was strong in the air, but I could also smell the raging scent of bloodlust.

Something about this made me quickly change into my cat form and then back, but with Olivia's Vampire Blessing active in my Panther form. My tail had become smooth and black, and so had my ears. I reached up and noticed that my hair was sticking up, but I assumed it wasn't that bad.

Feeling more ready for whatever was to come, I knocked on the door once, meaning to do it twice, but Penny opened the door before I could. She was standing in a light pink babydoll dress that was nearly transparent, leaving very little to my imagination. I had little time to appreciate it as I was pulled inside by an excited-looking Penny. I had never seen her looking so happy and energetic, and it was turning me on.

"You came!" Penny said as she hugged and rubbed her into mine, and I returned the hug.

"Of course, but I am sorry that I took so long! Do you want to stay here for the night, or do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked, and Penny looked up at me and nodded but then reached up to touch my ears.

"We should go to the bottom of the Barracks. I have a room where you can chain me up, so I don't hurt you. I can't control myself very well on full moons, but this is where my cycle always lands," Penny said, and I nodded.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Sure, but don't worry about me. I changed my form to accommodate yours, so don't worry about it. I am much more of a monster than you could ever dream of being," I said with a smile and then gestured for a portal to the barrack, but only a small one. "Can you show me the way? I can use portals to navigate a place, but the range is limited while inside."

Penny's eye's lit up with excitement, and then she started to point out the directions. She would point, and I would move the portal opening to that spot and face the direction she indicated. This was a great way to explore places without going there, but there were still disadvantages, just not for our purposes.

"It is just down the hall here, so I think that we can walk from here," Penny said, and I nodded, stretching open the portal. She pulled me, though, and I let the portal close, but we were in complete darkness.

"Can you see, alright?" I asked, and Penny nodded to me as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, almost like it was an overcast day. "Good, then you can lead the way. What is this basement used for, besides a place for you to go when on full moons? I didn't even know there was a basement under the Barracks."

"It is used for a lot of things, but mostly for storage and a place for people to come and go when needed. I am sure you could find a lot of interesting things down here, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is a bit spooky," Penny said and then shivered a bit before continuing. "There is a private room down here that I use for when I need to keep myself in check, and it has the strongest chains that I know of. I would feel safe there."

"Then let's head there. I am sure that we have a few moments before the moon is at its peak," I said and then followed her down the hallway.
