Curse of the Lycanwing

19

The woods were anything but quiet. I could hear ants, birds, and bees. I must have night furry hearing. It was a pleasant cloudy day. No light, which is good cause I'm sensitive to light. I was getting thirsty again. 

"What do ya say we get some water bud?" I asked. 

Toothless agreed. We walked to the river. I drank more than he did. I stopped to look at myself. I may look human, but I didn't feel it at all. 

"Am I even a human?" I asked.

Toothless growled. He seemed to say that I was human. I then saw my eyes turn red. I saw my reflection begin to transform into a Lycanwing. I backed away from my reflection startled. I looked at my hands and arms. The bite mark was still fresh. 

I watched as tears began to fall down to my face. I began to cry. Toothless nudged me and licked me. Didn't make me feel better because I kept crying. 

"Maybe this was it. Maybe I'm stuck like this." I said. 

Toothless licked me again and growled. 

"Okay, okay. You're right." I said scratching his chin. 

What am I gonna do? I certainty was not cheered up. Toothless seemed to get it. He broke of a small tree. Heh. It's like when I just met him. He's drawing something; though, it'll probably be scribbles. It was lots of scribbles. 

I smiled at him. When he was finished he licked me again.

"Thanks bud. I needed this." I said. 

"I've finally found you." I heard a unfamiliar voice behind me. 

I turned around to see another man. He was wearing a black cloak and he didn't look friendly. He had scars all over his face. His hair was black and braided. He had only 1 eye. At least that was what I guessed since he had an eye-patch over his right eye. I recognized the man's odor. It smelled familiar. 

He approached me. Toothless growled at him. He's basically saying stay away from me or him. 

"Relax. I should be your friend." He said. 

"Why do you smell familiar?" I asked. 

"I should smell familiar. Remember the Northern Markets?" He asked. 

It suddenly hit me.

"You. You're the Lycanwing! You did this to me!" I yelled. 

"Guilty as charged." He smiled.
