Gift Of The Wild

Chapter 4: Wolves chorus

Dipper woke up to the sound of a crowd, he looked up to see the sun in his face. Dipper looked down to see that he still was in his wolf form. Wha-? Dipper flattens his ears and looks out at the crowd. "Mommy look! Look at the big black wolf!" He heard a little girl shout. "Well... I guess that Tad fellow wasn't lying... This is very big wolf." Dipper heard a man say to another man. "H..-help." Dipper managed to croak out. He surprised the crowd of people and it all went silent. Dipper pawed at the bars of the cage, "D-did it just- speak?!" He heard a voice say. Mabel... Stan.. Ford.. I'm sorry you where right... Dipper thought miserably. Dipper heard a tap on the cage. "Welcome! I'm proud to present to you, a very real werewolf!" He heard an all too familiar voice say. Tad... Dipper thought. Tad stepped down and came face to muzzle with Dipper. "Play along, Dipper Pines~" Tad whispered. Bid my time... Dipper then growled at Tad and snapped at him. He bared his ad normally large fangs at the crowd and paced in the small cage. "What a monster.." "Look at those fangs!" "He would make a great head mount!" The crowds comments were overwhelming. Dipper shook his head and laid down, still growling deeply. Dipper skimmed the crowd picking out people he knew, Dan, Claire... Quinn, Ben... William.. Wait.. Dipper's golden eyes where fixed on William, his growls deepened. "TRAITOR! Evil-.. Bad!" Dipper barked at William,Everyone stared at him. If dipper could smirk he would be right now. "KILL! PACK, RUN, KILL!" Dipper's wolf instinct began to kick in. Dipper than howled loudly, he was just playing along. What he didn't know was that he'd be triggering a whole pack of werewolves. Dipper began to growl again, "Hide, Run, Leave me... Alone," Dipper whimpered. There was a sudden howl, followed by a whole group of howls... And a yowl-? He swore he heard a screech of a Wild cat. In a flash the whole town square was surrounded by Wolves... And Mountain lions-? Dipper looked around to see all hell has broken lose in the town, people where running around screaming while the wolves and big cats surrounded his cage. One of the wolves shifted, his silky white coat turned to flesh. "Jeez kid, what did you get yourself into-?" Said the Werewolf with blonde hair. Dipper stared, "how did you-?" "Your howls." The man interrupted. The man had the pack of Werewolves and big cats cover him as he worked on picking the lock on Dipper's cage. "Andd.... Gotcha!" The blonde said as the cage door swung open. Dipper stood there, "come on kid! Follow us if you want to survive!". Dipper leaped down out of the cage, "wait! What about-" "Tad-? We took care of em'" he said as he motioned toward a pair of Mountain lions pinning him down. The man whistled and they joined the others, "better get going kid!" He said as he shifted back to his wolf form. The white wolf took off with the pack trailing behind him, dipper followed as well. Goodbye, Whiterun, Hello freedom... Dipper thought as he ran with the pack. The pack was running towards the dark forest, the place where Dipper felt at home. Now I know why, I guess.. Dipper, was lead to a Valley, he saw hundreds of werewolves and mountain lions, in their human form. The werepeople were shifting around him. Dipper flattened his ears, he didn't know how to shift back... He looked up to see the werewolf from earlier was looking down at him, "just think about your happiness memory... It'll help you shift." He said. Dipper closed his eyes. His happiest memory was... Well, meeting William. All of a sudden his back arched and he began to shift back, painlessly. Everyone was staring at him, Dipper's hair was pushed back revealing his birthmark. "Nice birthmark, kid." The man said. "What's your name-?" He asked as he held a hand to help dipper up. "Dipper, and you-?" He says as he stands up. "The name is Mark. Guess your name makes sense~" Mark said as he looks at dipper's birthmark. "Oh, uh, that... Right...heh.." Dipper awkwardly said as he pulls his hair back down again. "I'm the Alfa of this pack, and may I ask... Do you know a person named William~?" Mark asked. "As in William Cipher-? Ya I know him... I least I thought I did..." Dipper muttered. "Great he'll be showing you around the place and-" "wait, do you mean William is a werewolf-?!" Dipper asked. "Werecat, actually." Dipper's head was spinning again. A growl rose from his voice as William stepped out of the crowd around the Alpha. "Heya Pinetree!" He said cheerily.
