I'm in Love with a Lycanthrope

Chapter 5

~a week later (Saturday)~

Crystal's POV
Pony has gotten more jumpier since the accident, I mean I don't blame him. I've been taking him to school and then staying at the DX until it's time to take him home. Soda told the gang about what had happened, they all said I should be personal body guard for all of them. So now I am walking home with Pony and Johnny. I walked in front of them while they were behind me, talking about yesterday's sunset. I went with them, making sure they wouldn't get jumped or hurt. We arrived at the house, I went straight to the couch, Johnny sat beside me, and Pony went to put his backpack up. Johnny turned on the tv and Pony sat down beside me. I sat up and they wrap their arm around me. Pony started scratching my ticklish spot and my leg started thumping. They laughed and Pony stopped. After awhile, I felt myself starting to get sleepy. I laid down and closed my eyes.

~1 hour later~

I felt someone picking me up and I peeked from the corner of my eye. I saw Soda laying me in his lap and Steve coming over, sitting next to him. I opened my eyes and Soda looked down at me. I felt a tingle behind my ear, I went to scratch it, but my foot was under Soda's arm. I went for my other foot, but Steve was sitting on it. I had no choice, but to rub my head on Soda's chest. He looked at me weirdly and then realization. He scratched behind my ear and kept doing that until I moved my head away. He turned his attention to the tv and Steve started eating his cake. Pony was in his room and I guess Johnny went home or took a walk. I felt the need to go look for him. It was a gut feeling that something wasn't right. I wiggled out of their grasp and went to the door. I pawed at it and Soda opened the door. I walked outside and started walking on the sidewalk.
"Crystal, where ya goin?" He asks me. I kept walking. He went back inside and then came back out with Steve. Soda slid on his jacket and they started following me. I started walking to the lot and I heard something. Crying maybe? I stopped and so did they. I perked my ears up and concentrated. It was definitely someone crying. I motioned for the guys to stay put and they actually understood. They walked over to a tree and sat down. I slowly crept to the beaten down car seat. There laid Johnny Cade, crying and badly beaten. I walked towards him and pawed at his arm. He jumped up and when he noticed it was me he relaxed. He hugged me and cried into my fur.
"It happened again." He tells me. I started whining and licked his non-injured cheek. I knew what he meant, he meant his folks had beaten him again. He looked up at me and I stared in his eyes. He wiped away his tears and tried to stand up, but he wasn't strong enough so he fell back down. I lifted him up and slid him on my back. He wrapped his arms around my neck and I walked towards Soda and Steve, but there was someone else there too. I sniffed the air and recognized it instantly. It was Dally. I walked a little fast when I noticed Johnny wasn't moving as much. Dally looked up and saw me. He ran towards me, along with Soda and Steve, and picked up Johnny.
"Johnny?? You ok man?" He asks.
"Yeah, I can't walk though. My folks got ahold of me again." Replies Johnny.
"Alright. It's going to be ok, we'll take you home." Says Dally. By home he meant The Curtis'. We all knew that that place was our actual home. We walked slowly to the house and when we got there, Darry looked pissed. When he saw Johnny, he relaxed a bit and went to get the First-aid kit. Dally laid him on the couch and Pony came out from his room.
"What happened to Johnny?"
"His parents." Replies Dally, coldly. After that, Pony stayed quiet and went back to his room. Darry came back with the kit and started patching him up, with my help. When we were done, Soda went to take a shower, Steve went home, Dallas went to sleep in one of the chairs, Johnny slept on the couch, Pony was asleep in his and Soda's room, and Darry went to bed. I went in their room and climbed into bed with Pony. He wrapped his arm around me and fell asleep like that. Soda came in a little bit later and crawled into bed, shirtless. He wrapped his arm around me and fell asleep also. I closed my eyes and fell asleep myself.
