"Quick! Hide Colbolt!" Maylas hissed. I hid right at the
doorway to ambush whoever was approaching. My new sense allowed me to hear their
footsteps and their heart beat. Just when the intruders shadow was visible, I
jumped out and grabbed the intruder and put one of my huge claw hands around its
mouth. The intruder squirmed and tried to scream but my grip was too powerful.
I could've easily crushed his or hers fragile neck. I looked down at the intruder
and realized who it was.
"Snachizzi?" Moon asked.
Snachizzi was trying to get out my grip with
the look of fear on her face.
"Snachizzi calm down. Its just Colbolt. He won't
hurt you," Maylas said trying to calm her. She looked up at me. I smiled showing
my sharp teeth. She gave a whine and seemed to faint. Her body went limp in
my arms.
"Colbolt, you didn't..." Moon trailed off.
"No!" I denied dropping Snachizzi and waving
my hands up. Her body hit the floor with a thud.
"Colbolt, you better go and hide in a corner.
Moon and I will take it from here and try to explain," Maylas said. I went and
hid back in the corner while Maylas lightly tapped Snachizzi on the muzzle trying
to wake her. Her eyes fluttered open, then she popped awake.
"Where's the Werelupe?" she asked in alarm.
She sat bolt straight up.
"Its okay. The Werelupe is really Colbolt. He
won't harm you." Moon said. Snachizzi looked around until she found me in the
corner. I lowered my ears and tucked my tail between my legs ashamed.
"Oh my. That's Colbolt?" she asked amazed. I
slowly nodded my head.
"Wait a minute. Snachizzi, weren't you supposed
to be watching Khell?" Moon asked.
"Uh oh," Snachizzi remembered.
"So, why did you come over in the first place
Moon?" I asked.
"Well, I was able to hear a ruckus over at your
house. I think the whole street heard it and cops may be on their way," Moon
explained.
"I'll go check on Khell," Snachizzi ran out
the door.
"If the police find out about you Colbolt..."
Maylas didn't need to finish the sentence for me. Just then, my ears picked
up sirens in the distance.
"They're coming," I growled.
"Who?" Moon asked.
"Cops, up this road," I said again and looked
in their direction.
"You and Moon get out of here. I'll explain
this to the cops," Maylas said.
Just then, Snachizzi came running in with a
tied up Khell over her shoulder.
"What happened to him?" Moon asked.
"He set a trap for that other him and fell into
it," Snachizzi explained.
"He's smart I'll give him that. I never expected
him to set up the same trap as me," Khell said.
Red and blue light could be seen from the windows.
"Hurry! Go!" Maylas said. Moon and I ran out
the back door and into the woods.
The woods seemed homely to me. With the full
moon out, it was like it was day. Moon was in front as we ran from the house.
After awhile, she finally stopped and went into a walk.
"How are you feeling Colbolt?" she asked turning
back and looking at me.
"Big, furry, strong, just like I've felt since
I've been a Werelupe. Why?" I replied.
"Just making sure you won't eat me," she said.
"I just hope there is a cure," I growled softly.
We then sat down and waited for the coast is clear. We could faintly see flashing
lights at my house. Finally, the lights went down the street and disappeared.
"I think its safe now," Moon said heading back.
Just then, I saw a Krawk walking down the street.
I felt my Werelupe instincts taking over.
"Mmmm, food," I growled hungrily heading towards
it rather than home. Moon turned around and noticed this.
"No Colbolt! Get a hold of yourself!" she hissed.
She grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back but I was too strong and dragged
her along. I licked my muzzle ready to pounce. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain
in my arm. I turned to see Moon had sunk her teeth into my arm. I turned my
attention to her a growled fiercely. She released my arm and slowly backed away
scared.
"Now Colbolt, get a hold of yourself," she whimpered.
I growled again but then snapped out of it.
"Thanks, I needed that," I said shamefully.
We resumed heading back to the house.
"So what did you tell the police?" I asked once
we got back.
"I just said that the burglars broke in again
and we defended them off." Maylas said.
"Good," I complimented.
"But while you were gone, I looked up Werelupes
again and found bad news," Malyas continued.
"What?" I said afraid.
"There is no known cure to turn you back," he
said sadly.
My ears went down and my tail went limp.
"There's... no cure?" I said sorrowfully.
Maylas nodded his head sadly. I felt like running
back into the woods and never be seen again.
"Don't worry Colbolt. There's no known cure,
not that there isn't one." Moon said trying to cheer me up.
"Geesh. I can't believe Colbolt is a Werelupe.
This is so cool!" Khell said happily.
"No one is to know of this Khell. Colbolt could
be put into real danger if anyone finds out," Snachizzi scorned him.
"We'll have to keep it a secret then. No one
here can tell about Colbolt being a Werelupe," Maylas said. The sun began to
rise.
"Thanks everyone," I said a little more happily.
And that's how it all began. How I became a
Werelupe and how my friends stuck by me. But that wasn't the end, our next adventure
was just about to happen....
The End
