Blood Lust

The Bite

"Rudy, just stay calm! Stay calm!" Carter screamed, putting her hands out in front of her.

"How! How do I stay calm!"

"Just breathe. Take a deep breath and sit down."

Rudy sat down, gripping the sides of the now ruined leather couch. "What's going to happen to me?"

"Most likely nothing. You're a werewolf now. We can't do anything to reverse it because we already tried."

"But we can take you somewhere." Jake suggested.

"Are you suggesting who I think you are?"

Jake nodded. "Yep, Mrs. Wolfe."

"Okay then, let's go."

"Who's Mrs. Wolfe?" Atlas asked, walking into the living room.

"She's a friend of our mother's, and takes care of other young werewolves like Jett, for example."

"Is she the giant wolf who's always protecting me? Black fur, red eyes?"

"Yeah. That's her. Let's go."

"Wait, wait, wait, I have another question. Who bit Rudy?"

"Yeah, who bit me?" Rudy chimed.

"I don't know. I guess we'll find out." Carter said, grabbing her car keys.

Jake and Atlas helped Rudy off the couch and to the car. He could stand with ease but didn't have the full strength to walk around on his own. The two boys got Rudy in the car and Carter drove off, heading for the woods.

When she made it to the wood's field, she stopped the car and turned in her seat. "Rudy, I need you to trust me okay? They're possibly going to take you into a completely different room, away from us. Don't get scared, don't lash out. They're here to help you, not hurt you. Okay?"

Rudy nodded slightly, "okay."

Atlas put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Trust us. They're not gonna hurt you."

"This bite says otherwise." Rudy said, lifting his arm.

Atlas chuckled, "we're also gonna figure out who did that."

"What if it wasn't one of them?"

"Then they'll find who did it."

Atlas helped his friend out of the backseat, holding onto his arm.

"You think you can walk on your own?" Atlas asked.

"I don't know, can I?" Rudy retorted, slowly moving his legs.

Laughter spurred out of Jake. "No, you can't!"

"Jacob, help him! If you were temporarily paralyzed from the hips down, you wouldn't want someone laughing at you." Carter hissed, making Rudy laugh.

"Exactly! Help me!"

"Both of you shut up!" Atlas screamed at the two blonde boys.

Jake walked over, helping Atlas walk Rudy inside. Carter knocked on the door and was greeted by a woman with dyed pink hair.

"Carter, hey! What brings you here?"

"Hi Kate. He's what brings us here." Carter said, pointing at Rudy.

Rudy smiled at the lady, his white fangs flashing.

"Oh, um. Let me go grab Amena." Kate said, her face transforming from a smile to a confused look.
