Alright, So I had a really weird dream last night before I went to work. I kind of liked the idea/jist of it and would love to see it play out. Feel free to twist and warp the stuff as you see fit.
A young lady can shift forms into a grey fox like creature (Kind of a blend between wolf and a fox). She meets a guy (can't remember how I had met him in the dream) that could shift into the same sort of creature. She wasn't all too sure about the positive side of being able to shift but he began opening her world to all the possibilities. He jumped off this rock side and into the most gorgeous clear water spring in the forest mountainside. After swimming for a while, she realizes she was running late for something. He was rather callous about helping her find her way back. It appeared like he didn't feel the same. She ended up by getting lost, panicking about never finding home again.
Perhaps he was working with dark forces to try and gather all the shifters, maybe he was out to destroy them himself and used a potion/spell to be able to change to gain her trust, or maybe he was on the good side but was just leery about connecting with someone so soon. I don't know, I woke up before I could figure that out. Would love to see how it could have been played out.
