Loona the Caretaker

One Day As a Hellhound

The boy was still nervous about what had just happened and looked at his hellhound feet while sitting on the doctor's bed. Loona as with him while the others were waiting outside of his office.

"Well," said Dr Goldstein, "this is quite a remarkable discovery. Looks like we found out what happens when a human gets the case of Hellhound fever."

"Will i be like this forever, Doctor?" asked Cody. "I look cool a little bit, but i don't want to he a hellhoubd forever. I'm scared of what my brother will say and how he will react seeing me like this. And i don't want to scare anyone in the human world."

"Why not? i think that look is better on you, young one. Fits you better as a Hellhound actually. Besides, you humans are always too sensitive."

Loona growled and snarled right at Goldstein's face, obviously frightening him. "Watch it, you quack." she warned him.

"Sorry. sorry. my sincere apologies. But you do not feel any more symptoms like you have a cold?"

"Well, i don't feel stuffy anymore and i don't have a cough anymore. i don't know if i have a fever or not."

"Well, let me check." said the doctor before doing just that. "Hmmm... Remarkable. You have a normal temperature in yoyr system."

"Oh. Good. But do you know if i will be stuck being a Hellhound forever or not?"

"To be fair, i honestly do not know. I mean, something like this has never happened before. I would call this a remarkable discovery if you ask me. But i wouldn't worry about this too much. You can use your new Hellhound traits to good use. Matter of fact, you might go back to being a human first thing tomorrow. Just carry on with your life and hope for the better. I'm sure you'll be just fine."

"Really?"

Goldstein nodded his head a "yes" to the kid and said: "Don't worry. Hellhound fever is a short term sickness and you'll feel better in no time at all. It could be over in another day or the day after. Only time will tell."

"Thanks dr."

"Don't mention it, Cody. Do come back when you feel any more problems."

"Got it."

Loona wondered if this little transformation would he permanent herself. She kinda wanted it to be permanent because it would actually feel like Cody is her new little brother and it would feel complete to have a direct family member to her. Of course, Loona was happy if Cody himself was happy and didn't want to see him sad and she would hate to see him cry again.

It showed how much she really cared about him and how much she was starting to love him. Deep down, even though she won't admit it, saving Cody and bringing him with her down here was probably one of the best things that ever happened to her.

Both she and Cody then got out of the room and told the others what happened in there. "Going through a whole day as a Hellhound?" said Moxxie. "Not in a bad way, but this should be interesting. I mean, your hearing is probably enhanced, along with your sense of smell, Cody."

"I agree with my hubby." said Millie. "Even if it's not permanent, this can be a good thing. You might blend in down here more in that form. Plus, how can anyone not like that furry mug you have right now?"

The kid flushed, as Millie was obviously calling him cute and adorable. Deep down, he wondered if he went to the human world, maybe many humans would find him adorable too and not scary at all. Alas, the kid didn't want to take any chances.

"Can you turn into a human like other hellhounds?" asked Tex."

Cody didn't know for sure and he tried turning into a human on command, and he was straining himself. "Grrrrr! Come on!" he strained. he had a face like he was trying to back one out of himself. "Raaagggh! Come on!" alas, it was no use. "Whoa! almost passed out."
