Red Meadow.

[Maero]

A most curious thing happened as his stinger cut her, the wound sizzled as her body seemed to...reject the poison. It frothed out about her neck and then the cut seemed to close slightly, almost like an eye squinting shut, not healing outright but close. John would then realize that Jewl was more than just human. Not a were, not quite, but more than human. Her Fever leveled out, not getting higher but not lowering either. Applying it to were, her biology was easier to understand. Wolfsbane, in controlled and treated doses, could suppress or even destroy lycanthropy. Its symptoms were simple, fevers, headaches, seizures, and weakness. But it wasnt happening because she had consumed too much, but instead too little. The years and years of Wolfsbane inside her was struggling to contain a disease it had never destroyed, and the internal battle now seemed to be killing her.

John had a choice to make. He could attempt to feed her raw Wolfsbane, something that could kill or cure her, at least for the time being. Or he could bite her. The addition of his own disease would, or at least should, defeat the lingering traces of wolfsbane in her system, and then natural were regeneration would take over from there. Of course, this would unleash the disease inside her, and there was no telling what would happen after, or rather, what she would become. Her life and future were in his hands.
