A Shared Curse (part 2

Tears fill the blue eyes that stare at Rex, who can't believe what he's seeing. Anakin whines, crouching down to try to appear shorter. Rex notices that his right arm is just a stump, the cybernetic must have fallen off.

Rex just stares, making Anakin think that he hates him. He squeezes his eyes shut, turns and darts off. Rex snaps out of his shock, screaming at Anakin.

"Anakin! Wait!" Rex wants to run after him but Kanan stops him.

"What is going on! Why did you call that monster Anakin?" Kanan doesn't understand but Sabine quickly explains.

"Anakin turned into that after the other one bit him, he's something called a werewolf. I remember hearing the legends as a child on Mandalore." Kanan can sense the truth in her words, his eyes widen.

"Anakin isn't the only one, I'm one too." Both Sabine and Kanan turn to Rex as he starts to explain everything. They listen intently.

×××

"So you're a werewolf but Anakin doesn't know." Kanan tries to clarify, trying to believe what his friend has just told him. Rex nods.

"Yes. I was too scared to tell him, I never thought that he'd get turned into one too. Now he probably thinks that I hate him." Rex feels so much guilt, maybe if Anakin had known he wouldn't have ran.

Or he would have known what the creature was and would have been more careful. Rex looks around, noticing that Anakin's cybernetic arm is on the ground.

"Rex, you go get Anakin. I'll comm everyone to get back to the ship, that werewolf is still out there, Sabine, you head back to the ship and see if you can find any of the others on your way." Sabine nods

On it." She leaves, but not before grabbing Anakin's lightsaber and cybernetic arm from the ground.

"Okay, can you take my armor back. I'm going to transform, it'll be easier to find Anakin." Kanan nods and Rex starts stripping of his armor, he gets ready to transform, taking his shirt off.

"You can leave now if this'll freak you out."

"I'd like to see exactly what we're up against, besides you're still my annoying friend when you're like that, right?" Rex gives Kanan a smile, he's thankful that this hasn't ruined the friendship that was so hard to have.

Rex concentrates for a few seconds, instantly groaning when he starts to feel that familiar discomfort. He kneels down as he transforms, his body growing bigger, bones rearranging. His voice grows deeper everytime he groans.

Fur sprouts all over his body, all grey except for a few specks of white and a big section of white on his snout where his beard usually is. He stretches his body out like a cat as he stands up straight, tail swishing behind him. He turns to Kanan who looks shocked.

"Holy shit, you're huge." Rex chuckles, that was what Wolffe had said the first time he transformed.

"Yep, but you might want to warn everyone that there's going to be two werewolves returning, don't want any accidents." Kanan nods and Rex heads off to search for his Riddur.

He picks up his scent right away, his sense of smell is much better, so is his hearing. Rex runs on all fours, trying to get to his Riddur as soon as possible.

He comes to a large cave, he can hear the sobs and whimpers of Anakin coming from inside it. Rex's ears press back against his head, he feels so bad that this happened to his Riddur.

Some people might be happy to have there love share the burden with them... But Rex could never be happy. He's still going to love Anakin no matter what, but he hates that he has to go through this too.
