A Wolf's Soul

Chapter 12

"Jump? Are you mad?", yelled Jasper

"Nope." Luna pulled a woollen blanket out of her new bag, that Gwen had given her. "Hopefully, this will act like a parachute."

Jasper hesitated. Then, he nodded reluctantly. "Let's get this over and done with."

They each held two corners of their "parachute" and jumped.

Luna closed her eyes tightly. She could feel how they were falling fast. Too fast. They were going to die. And it was her fault. Suddenly, they slowed down, mid-air. The blanket-parachute was working. As they gently hit the ground, Luna finally opened her eyes. Around fifty pairs of eyes stared at her.

"We need to get out of here"

The two races towards the underground, away from the crowd, that had seen them jump from Big Ben.

"We've nearly made it. We're in Ireland", announced Luna as she stepped out of the train into the rain. Jasper smiled weakly, his face pale as a ghoul. He shivered.

"Are you cold?" Luna was ready to hand Jasper her coat, since his had been ruined by the transformation two days ago.

"I'm hot"

Luna sighed. Ever since the transformation, Jasper had become sick. It looked like he had a high fever. She felt his forehead. It was burning hot.

"We'll get you to a doctor's in Dublin", she promised, "it's only one last train."

The two had been travelling non-stop for two days now and Luna wondered if that was bad for Jasper. She watched the train pull in. "Are you ready, Jasper?"

"Ready as I'll ever be"

Together they stepped on to the next train.

As they settled down, Jasper turned to Luna.

"Luna, there's something I need to tell you."

"Can't this wait?"

"No, I need to tell you now!"

Luna could feel the people staring. She hoped whatever he was going to say, that it wasn't embarrassing.

"Go on then."

"I...I'm allergic to dogs. That's why I'm ill."

Luna nearly fell off her seat. "You're allergic to dogs?"

"...yeah."

"But..."

"Injections."

Luna nodded, still shocked. Every moon he had to take an injection before his transformation, just so he wouldn't become ill? And now he hadn't had the injection.

"Will you be okay?"

"Sure", Jasper coughed.

The train pulled to a halt. Luna stood up.

"We made it, we're in Dublin", she whooped.

Jasper tried to smile, but he was coughing and spluttering.

"Let's get you to a doctor", Luna said firmly. She hopped off the train, waiting for Jasper. Minutes passed, but no one got off the train. Any minute the train would leave.

"Come on, Jaswinder..."

She didn't know what was happening in the train right now.
Little did she know, that Jasper wouldn't come. She would be waiting a long time. And no one would come.
