Forget Me Not. [Book 1 of Eodum Series]

Selection 5: The Tail of The Wolf. (Short Chapter.)

(Yes that is the correct "tail" I wanted to use FYI)

[The Wolf's POV]

I sighed as I looked out into the town. I should of told that brat to be back in an hour, she gets two hours to run if she wishes, two hours my sorry ass is wasting just sitting here.

With that said, I stood up and looked at me for the first time. I was almost human again, but I did not feel it. I didn't care for this form anymore, I just wanted to be a wolf again. How ironic coming from the man that screamed at the moon to be human for just one more day, the old me would of been thrilled to stay like this for the rest of his life, just to get a taste of humanity once more. I honestly just wanted to have everything the way it once was. I wish I hadn't pissed off Gonaybilly by trying to burn her at stake, but it was my own bloody fault.

My claws were sharper than ever, I cut the runt without even trying, how was I going to wear gloves or shoes? My ears were different, I'd always have to wear those stupid hats-she better bring me back a hood.

I felt around my face and knew I was hairy, I would have to start shaving my face again. Then again, I could always look unpresentable. I mean, I didn't have anyone else to talk to besides that stupid runt. I sighed, and turned around walking threw the forest. I was hungry, that's all I knew.

I walked deep in the forest, sniffing for any animal and growled when their present was unnoticed. Nothing! Either that or I lost my touch. My eyes grazed over the land, and I nearly roared with anger as a innocent bunny was in view. How the hell did I not sniff it out?

I instantly shot at it, though...it was merely a slow walk to wolves. I looked down at my legs trying to get them to move faster, then looked back at the bunny. HOW THE FUCKING HELL WAS IT IN THE SAME POSITION JUST FARTHER AWAY?! ...then it clicked. My eye sight was still good.

My shoulders fell as I ended up sitting on the ground. I was never going to make it to the mammal anyway, it would hear me before I even got close enough to it to claw at it to death. My tongue grazed over my teeth, and I jumped as I could taste blood in my mouth. I cut myself, and it didn't taste as good as I once would of had it.

My old memory came back to me as I was disgusted to even think about eating a raw dead animal, but once my balls crawled back down from my ass, I tore that animal to shreds and never tasted anything better. Now, that taste was just metallic again, and I didn't care for it. Maybe I liked cooked food again.

My body stood up once again, and I closed my eyes listening. Maybe that ability I still had. I grinned as I could hear a bird hatching slowly, and sighed with relief. I could use a little good news. I started walking back to where I told Madiline to meet me, and once back there, I could hear the sound of many clocks going off at once.

One hour. Finally.

I laid down on the once soft ground, and grumbled as I tried to get comfortable, but nothing seemed to work. Eventually I gave in, and stayed in one position, going into a very uncomfortable nap.

My eyes shot open as the second alarms started going off. Two hours now passed, I sat up groaning as my back popped in multiple places, and I got up stretching out. I looked down purposely using my extreme sight, and snarled as my puppet didn't return to me, or even come into sight. I stood there waiting for a few minutes, and once I saw that she tried to trifle with me, and turned around and started heading for Ultra. I had a town vanquish from humanity.

I walked on and on not even bothering to look back, that is-until I heard a familiar voice come into my head screaming, "SIRE!" I sighed with my shoulders stooping. Damn, I can't believe I'm actually happy to hear the broad.

I turned around going back the way I came, which wasn't to much of a drag, but my feet were sore from how tender they now were, my back was a pain, my head throbbed, and my stomach was just as irritated as I was. When the fallen Madiline came into my sight, I couldn't help noticing the tears on her worn face. She was dripping in sweat, even as she as sleeping, she was clawing at the ground. She had to of pushed herself horribly to look that bad, I didn't understand why she just didn't give that town up. Was it for her own safety, or what?

I grabbed the clothes, doing my best to put them on, but I mine as well worn shreds. A rumble was created deep in my throat as I noticed that overly large coat with a hat, honestly. Does she read exactly what I don't want, or what? How hard is it to get me a damn hood?

Either way I put the coat on with the hat, my overly large shoes that came in handy, and the working gloves. I pulled the girl to sit on my tail, and wrapped her arms around my waist, lifting her up as high as possible, though her feet still dragged. I didn't even have to hold onto her arms, she grasped onto me tightly without help. I placed my coat around her, and sighed as her feet were still visible. I was starving, but I couldn't  go into town with her.

I looked back at the spot I was laying at, and put her there, with her back against the tree. I would be back shortly, I just wanted some food.

I DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH!

I CAN'T ORDER BECAUSE I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! I STILL SPOKE WOLF!

I continued trying to get the clerk to get me the food, but it was no use. I was screwed over and I had no money. I sighed, just walking away and smelt all the delicious food. With my misery being said, you have no idea how thrilled I was when a whore walked up to me saying, "Hey handsome."

"Mmm," I went unable to do much else.

"Don't speak English?"

"Mmm." I pointed to my stomach, then mouth, but didn't dare open it. She sees my teeth, and I was dead.

"Food huh? I take it your a foreigner. Come on hon, we'll get you some food." She pulled into a small shack, and my nose wiggled at the smell. My mouth practically melted, and I couldn't help nearly drooling as the woman said, "Three turkey legs for my man here, and a chicken salad sandwich for me, with two cold ones!"

I stared at the gorgeous brunette in front of me, she had fairly nice size of the chest, her hips extended at the perfect length, and her butt was bubbly. I couldn't chuckling when I saw my hormones still worked, but I didn't dare allow myself to get discriminating thoughts.

When my meat came out, all I could do was attack it. The woman stared at me with wide eyes, and said, "I take it you hadn't eaten in a long while huh?" I simply nodded at her, and her eyes seemed to glow with excitement. "Wait, you can understand me?"

I nodded again, and she asked, "But you can't speak my language." I nodded once more, and she seemed thrilled. She could actually have a small conversation with, though that wasn't going to happen.

The woman asked me small questions, and I shook my head the answer, but once I finished my meal, I bowed to her in thanks, then walked out. I went back to where my sleeping child (she's not his daughter, don't get confused!) laid and picked her up once again the way I had her before. We needed to go back to the last town Romeo told me they were headed, I had to tell them about me and my new form if they wished to be human once again.
