The Werelupe Files: Halloween Special

by neojolteon2

Halloween Special

It was the morning of Halloween. One of my favorite holidays of the year. I don't know if it was the WereLupe side in me that was so happy or if it was I. Maylas and I had already carved out a grinning Jack-o'-lantern and decorated the outside of the house to scare little Neopians. We even put a sign out saying, "Beware of WereLupe!"

     We were also going to be trick or treating with Moon and Khell. I was going as a WereLupe (of course) and Maylas as a sorcerer. I hadn't seen Moon's or Khell's costumes yet even though they say they are great. After putting up the last of the streamers and the final stringing of the cobwebs, Maylas decided to get ready.

     "How much candy do you think we'll get this year Colbolt?" he asked me while putting on his robe.

     "A good bit if I scare some young Neopets out of their costumes," I chuckled to myself.

     "Colbolt. This is your first Halloween as a WereLupe. You better control yourself," Maylas, a starry Draik, warned.

     "Don't worry about me Maylas. I haven't complete control over myself."

     I had no idea what the night had in store for me.

* * *

Maylas had finished putting on his costume and grabbing our trick or treat bags when I looked out the window. A full moon slowly began to rise. I cried in pain as the transformation took place against my will. I watched as my fur turned brown, my claws extend, my muscles bulk. I could feel my teeth lengthening, my tail growing longer, and my feet shifting. I growled and looked up at Maylas who was horrified it was a full moon.

     "Colbolt! You didn't tell me it was a full moon tonight!" Maylas shouted. I looked myself over, wanting to run wild under this full moon.

     "It's okay Maylas. I'm in complete control," I growled to him. Just then the doorbell rang. I walked over to the door and opened it.

     "Trick or treat!" A bunch of dressed up Neopets shouted. I gave a loud roared sending the trick or treaters running screaming. I closed the door with a sigh of satisfaction. I turned around to see Maylas shaking his head.

     "What?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.

     "Have complete control over yourself?" Maylas questioned. I rolled my eyes.

     "That was for Halloween. You have to be scary," I explained. Maylas sighed and grabbed the bags. Then we left.

* * *

Our first stop was Moon's. We were going to pick her and Khell up to go trick or treating. We rang on their doorbell and waited. We saw Moon, a fire Lupe, peer out the window first then answer the door.

     "I've been waiting for you guys," Moon said. She was dressed up as Edna the Witch except with fire fur instead of green fur.

     "Where's Khell?" I asked. Khell, a Faerie Gelert, came bounding down the stairs with a big, bonnet, and a pacifier in his mouth. Maylas and I stifled our laughter. Moon sighed a rolled her eyes.

     "He wanted to go in a carriage as a baby this year," she said. Khell smiled and made a few baby noises.

     "We lets get going. The night is still young. And I want to get some candy," I growled.

* * *

We began our trip around the block going from house to house shouting, "Trick or Treat!"

     At one house, we went up to the door and rang the doorbell. After it being answered and candy given out, the owner saw Khell and described how cute he was. Unfortunately for her, she bent over to scratch chin and was met with a poke in the eye.

     "Khell!" Moon shouted pulling him away.

     "Why you little brats!" The owner shouted. We took off down the street.

     As the night grew older, everyone seemed to be getting tired but me. The full moon was right above our heads with a cloudless night. I wanted to do more than just trick or treat. I wanted to run free.

     It wasn't until we came to the square that we saw trouble brewing.

     "Give me that candy kid!" Another neopet dressed up in a WereLupe costume growled, grabbing a young Kacheek's candy bag.

     "Give it back!" It cried reaching for it but the WereLupe kicked him back. His friend, also dressed up as a WereLupe, snickered. The little Kacheek turned and cried. My grip on my own candy bag tightened. A growl escaped my maw.

     "Colbolt? You okay?" Maylas asked.

     "Hold this Maylas. While I go and teach these punks what its like to be a real WereLupe," I shoved my candy bag into Maylas' chest. The other WereLupes were laughing at their score of candy and didn't see me approaching them.

     "We keep this up, we'll be able to swim in candy!" The first one laughed looking in the bag. I ripped it away and growled, startling the WereLupe.

     "Lets just see who you really are," I said reaching for his mask. I pulled but it didn't come off. Instead, the WereLupe howled in pain!

     "You're a real WereLupe?" I said startled. The WereLupe dropped his stolen bag and growled.

     "Maybe we should teach this wannabe a lesson, Sniz," the other WereLupe growled.

     "I think so Kamz," Sniz responded. I growled myself actually enjoining being challenged.

     The two WereLupes leapt at me, trying to take me down in one attack. But I jumped to the side just in time. These guys must have been loaded up on too much candy and it was already slowing them down. I gave a swift kick in the gut to the one called Kamz, knocking the air out of him. Sniz took the opportunity and clawed me right in the side of the head. I roared in pain and backed away a few steps grabbing the side of my head. Kamz tried to get revenge by giving me a swift kick in the gut but I caught it right away. I began to swing him around, keeping Sniz away, and released him straight at a tree. He landed with a smack and a groan. Sniz swiped at me again but I grabbed his arm and lifted him over my head. With a roar, I threw him making him land in front of Kamz. They were slowly trying to stand up as I marched towards them.

     "Lets get out of here!" Kamz cried staggering up. Sniz grabbed onto his fur and they tore off into the night. I tensed my muscles ready to chase after them, when someone grabbed my shoulders. With a growl, I grabbed it and twirled around ready to strike.

     "Colbolt! Stop!" Moon cried out as I was about to attack Maylas.

     "Colbolt, let go! That hurts!" Maylas cried out.

     "Sorry," I growled dropping him to the ground. "I was in the moment."

     Maylas rubbed his arm.

     "You mean you lost control again," he said to me. I growled knowing he was right but not admitting it.

     "Colbolt, maybe we should call it a night," Moon said pushing Khell towards us. I sighed looking over myself. I had done it again. I had ruined something because of being a WereLupe.

     Our goodbyes were short. I felt too embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Even though we had only gotten a full bag of candy each, I felt like I had let everyone down on getting more.

     As Maylas and I walked into our house, he immediately went to the center of the living room and dumped his candy out all over the floor. I watched as he went through, picking his favorite and setting them aside. I sat my candy beside the sofa and headed for my room. I didn't want to stay awake much longer.

     "You alright Colbolt?" Maylas asked.

     "I'm just tired, Maylas. I'm going to bed. Remember to turn off the lights when you're done," I lied closing my door and ending the day.

* * *

Deep, deep, in the Haunted Woods, the two WereLupes trudge back with their tails between their legs.

     "Kamz! Sniz! What are you doing back so early? You were suppose to be terrorizing Neopia City!" a large, powerful WereLupe roared. Sniz and Kamz had a coward look.

     "We were Your Highness. But some other WereLupe interfered. One that goes by the name of 'Colbolt'," Sniz said. The WereLupe King slowly pulled at the bottom of his chin.

     "Colbolt, a WereLupe. We will have to pay a visit to this 'Colbolt' very soon," he growled.
