A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing (Septicplier One-Shot)

Chapter 2

7:30 AM 

Mark quickly pulled on a hoodie before nodding at Jack. Jack half smiled at his friend as he said in a soft voice "Ready?" Mark nodded his head in response "Yeah. At least this hoodie covers up those claw marks." Jack half smiled. He turned away from Mark about to open the door to their room when someone knocked from the other side. Mark and Jack exchanged a quick glance both wondering who would be knocking on the door. Room service? Unlikely after all they weren't due until 11am. So who could it be?

Jack opened the door to be greeted by Felix. Mark and Jack were surprised that he had called at the door but they both smiled anyway as Mark spoke "Morning Felix. Are you alright? You look kinda spooked." Felix nodded his head rather quickly with an uneasy smile plastered across his face "Yes! I'm fine. Absolutely fine but...I er...need to talk to you two...About something that I saw last night. Something that I really wish I hadn't." Jack now looked at Felix with a raised eyebrow as he took a step back allowing Felix to enter the room before closing the door "What do you mean Felix? At the party you more or less stayed with me and Mark or the guy we met there Tom." Felix nodded once more "Y-yes, I know that..." he paused for a moment his eyes moving across Mark and Jack examining every detail about them. Something that Mark and Jack picked up on but chose not to mention. After a moment Felix continued his voice barely audible "I wasn't talking about when we were at the party. I was talking about after the party." Felix shuffled back a little, his body language was off for his usual personality, he was acting really reserved and shy, almost like he wanted to talk but was afraid of what might happen if he did. Jack smirked a little "What is it Felix, if somethings bothering you, you know you can talk to us. We're you're friends." Jack had expected Felix to smile a little or give some indication that he was feeling a little bit more comfortable. But he didn't.

Mark cleared his throat a little. Felix hadn't spoken and although they didn't say it aloud. Jack and Mark were worried about him. Finally Felix spoke, his voice quivered and his gaze refused to meet both Jack and Mark "Well. I went into my room last night and heard you two yelling. I would've shrugged it off but...Then I heard...Weird noises..." Jack and Mark exchanged worried glances, if this was going where they both believed it was, then Felix might have saw exactly what went on last night and might have even saw Jack turn into a wolf. Jack and Mark looked back to Felix as he continued "I-I...I opened the door to your room about to ask if you were alright when...Mark jumped from the balcony and a...dog or something followed him." Mark noticed his breath hitch in his throat as finally Felix looked up, specifically at Jack. Jack quickly decided to play it cool laughing "Well, I can assure you Felix. Last night we both came back hear and crashed. Sounds like what you saw was just a dream." Felix nodded a little "I thought that...I...I don't know why but I decided to follow the dog as it chased Mark around the woods all night. Just before sun-rise. It scratched Mark...I thought it was a dream and tried to convince myself it was only a dream. Till I saw the wound on Mark arm..." Mark looked down to his left arm to see part of the wound was visible as the sleeve of his hoodie had moved slightly. Mark tugged at it harshly pulling the sleeve back down. Jack felt himself physically shaking.

Jack couldn't process it all. Felix saw...Worse, he saw everything, he saw it when Jack attacked Mark before turning back to his human form. Jack gulped and backed up a little, he turned away and began to pace. Felix watching every move he made. Mark cleared his throat "Jack, stay calm." Jack's head turned to look at Mark and Felix yelped practically jumping behind Mark and using him as a shield. Jack's eyes where glowing bright blue as they had last night, his canine teeth had elongated to form fangs. A feral snarl rumbled from his throat as he turned away quickly and ran into bathroom. Mark turned to look to Felix. All Mark could see in Felix's eyes was confusion and fear. Obviously, after all Felix was a human who had probably never known anything like this. It was obviously going to be scary for him. Mark let out a sigh shaking his head as he took a step forward intending to follow Jack or at least try to talk to him. As he took a step forward something grabbed his wrist. Mark looked to see Felix clinging to his arm. Felix had desperation in his eyes "Mark! Jack...He..." Mark pulled away "He's our friend." that's all Mark said in Jack's defence as he made his way to the bathroom door. Mark knocked and then called out "Jack?"
