(Criss/Wolf)

After the werewolf left Serenity, he took his wrath on several late night partiers...and made himself known to anyone around him. But of the few people he killed...he didn't consume them...he left their bodies torn to shreds in his trail...after covering a lot of ground...he began to wear down, from lack of food...for he had such a high metabolism in his wolf form...that he burned more energy than he had from food. Until he smelled fresh meat from one of the local diners that were preparing the meat for tomorrow's special...

As soon as they closed up and turned off the lights...the werewolf slowly moved in and broke in thru the back door, and ransacked the meatlocker...and devoured every last bit of meat that was in it...then it disappeared into the darkness to sleep...beens the sun was getting ready to come up...so he searched for any spot that was dark and cool for him to take shelter in...until he was ready to go on the prowl again...the Lion and Tiger den at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden would work very nicely...he leaped over the fence and moved toward the mouth of the cave...and after little effort...he ran all the felines out of their den...and took it over...and curled up against the wall and fell asleep.

I woke up with my brother sleeping beside me, and his girlfriend sleeping on the outer edge...I slowly sat up and Hammie was sleeping in my lap...I rubbed him down and told him I really missed his daddy...and wanted him back...then I quietly got up, and moved into the kitchen to make some coffee, and get Hammie his breakfast...As soon as I got the coffee going the enticing smell of it woke Klayton up, and came in in his boxers and asked when it would be ready...without looking at him, I told him in about 5 minutes...he snickered a little bit, and said it was just enough time he needed to get dressed.

When Klayton came back in I was pouring the coffee into two cups...then I asked him if Rachel liked coffee...he said she did, but she liked french vanilla creamer in hers...I smiled at him and said that's the only way I would drink it too...so I grabbed a third cup down, and filled it...then I went into the fridge and pulled out my creamer...and mixed it into the two cups...just as I finished Rachel came out fully dressed and told us both morning...I handed her a cup of the coffee and told her morning back...then I sat down at the table...and asked Klayton what we were going to do about finding Criss...Klayton took another sip of his coffee and said he wasn't sure yet...as he turned the small television on and watched the news...

I turned around and watched it too, we all dropped out jaws when they showed images of the creature that ransacked so many buildings, wiped them clean of their meat, and even left a few bodies in his path...the live feed camera images of the creature stunned everyone that was watching the news...I touched my brother's shoulder and asked him if he thought that was the creature we saw at Serenity yesterday evening...Klayton shook his head as he put his empty cup into the sink...and said there was no doubt about it...I took a closer look at the images of the large black wolf-like creature, and saw something shiny around its neck...but due to all of his fur...it was hard to make out.

But as I kept looking at the wolves features a slight chill ran down my spine and felt the urge to rush out and do a massive search for Criss...but as I subconsciously headed toward the front door...and something from inside of me told me that I wasn't going to find him. Klayton stood up after the news was over with, and turned off the tube...and asked me if I was ready to go looking for him...but instead of looking for Criss...I told him I needed to find the wolf creature...Rachel looked at me like I was out of my mind...especially after seeing what it could do to frozen meat and full grown men...& now she wanted to go hunting for it...she tried to say that it was safer for us to stay as far away from its sightings as possible...and sooner or later the police would locate it and take care of it...before it killed anyone else.

I knew Rachel's point of view...but I knew I was scared too and wanted nothing more that to just see it, and find out if what I thought I saw on its neck was just my imagination or not...if it wasn't...we all were in for a big shock...and at a total loss on how we could fix the problem...if I was right...but I kept it to myself, until I knew for sure...I didn't want to cause an unnecessary panic...and we needed to unturn every other stone first...so we all headed out and searched all of Criss's favorite spots to hang out at...and then called all of his workers...hours went by and we still hit a big fat zero...I even called his two brothers and asked if they heard from him at all since yesterday evening...but they said not after he texted them goodnight.

I looked at Klayton and asked him if I should call his mom and ask her...for I didn't want to upset her by telling her what happened, and that he's been missing ever since...on the chance that he wasn't at her house visiting. Klayton shrugged his shoulders at me as he was on the phone talking to some of Criss's other buddies...but they were all clueless. I grabbed my phone and decided to call Sully, and his girl, but my best friend Sandy...to see if maybe he took a side trip down to their house to party...and just stayed there instead of going back home...but when Sully answered told me he hasn't seen or heard from Criss, since we all partied together at 'Body English' last Saturday.

But when I tried to hang up he asked what kind of trouble was going on...because he heard the tone in my voice...and knew something was wrong...so I told him...and he said he would meet up with us and help hunt for Criss...I thanked him and Sandy...then hung up...and told Rachel and Klayton that Sully and Sandy were going to be joining our search team...so we needed to hang around until they got here.
