Vampiress was nervously looking at the door again and again. She knew about a strange eldritch power, which was protecting the wood's ancient hidden treasures, but she hopped, that her werewolf companion will face no resistance, such she was almost a beast herself. But when vampiress heard wolfish howling and whimpering behind the door, she understood, that her companion had failed.

"How dare you to return to me without the chalice?!" vampiress asked angrily, when she-werewolf crossed the threshold, clutching her sore butt and bawling in pain "Stupid animal! Had you forgot, what did I say to you?"

She-werewolf just came closer and lay on the floor, trying to remove the thorns from her red and sore buttocks "Boohoo!!! My poor bottom!" she howled "Bess, just look, what they did to me!!! BAWL!!!"

"Who did?" vampiress looked at her wonderingly.

"Dryad and her damned tree!" she-werewolf bawled in pain "Please! OWIE!!! Help me! It hurt so bad! Please! BOOHOO!!!"

"Ugh! How dare you ask for my help after you failed me?!" vampiress replied angrily, but then looked at her companion's sore and filled but thorns buttocks and set next to her "You did not deserve my help!" she said, starting pulling the thorns out without any nicety, making she-werewolf howling in pain even louder "I give you a simple task and you just failed it! Useless stupid animal!"

"OW!!! But there was... OWIE!!! ...a woods keeper! OW!!!" she-werewolf complained "OW!!! She said... OUCH!!! ...that no one can steal the chalice...OWIE!!! Bess, please! OW!!! Be gentle! OWIE!!!"

"Stop complaining, you, useless wolfish moron! Or I will spank you myself!" vampiress screamed in anger.

Some minutes later vampiress finally removed the last thorns from her sidekick's sore buttocks, leaving her howling and moaning. She looked at broken she-werewolf again and shook her head.

"You did not deserve any my help! So, you owe me again!" she said and put some healing lotion over she-werewolf's sore and swollen buttocks, fully covered with a holes from the thorns "Never forget this, useless beast!"
