Werwolf
Age 19
Freshman college year
Day:Friday
I was coming home from my usual work day at chilly my bowl
I think the fumes from that place is killing me because I haven't had a headache hurt this much in years
I usually don't complain as much but honestly it felt as if my body was melting. I like the moonlight but something about it always seemed ominous. I turned a corner and like always there is a guy in a trench coat except at this time I realized that this guy was covered head to toe with light brown fur.
A werewolf. I usually respect the monsters of this world but other people say that they are dangerous and should be segregated but that will never happen because so many people protest. This guy was different he looked like he wanted something. To be honest I wasn't in a good mood so I went over there and I said it is a great night to be living I might want to get a little friend that I can walk but of course at this time of night you must have to walk yourself I hope those fleas of yours aren't contagious I wouldn't want to catch Ebola.
He then gave me this malicious glare, it made my head go up in flames. As I turned away from him I felt as if my shoulder was made of leather. Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this glow under my shirt so I pulled my shoulder out traveling this glowing mark. It looked like some kind of animal that was in the fetal position. The creature looked at me with a look of concern He saw the mark and reacted like he found gold which is a coincidence because the mark glowed with a golden color. I was getting ready to fight because it seemed like he was going to attack me. He then said in a grisly voice looks like your a monster as well. With no hesitation he bit the place where the mark on my skin was. It felt as if I was getting a million shots at once. I then tried to fight him but I felt so weak all a sudden I fell and he caught me we were both on the ground. My headache disappeared but it was quickly replaced with the growing pains that came drone the werewolf infection but it felt different instead of an sick feeling and anger I felt calm and as I slowly changed I said why'd you bite me? He then said you didn't hear me you are a werewolf it's in your blood since you've been born
My clothes kept getting tighter and tighter so unfortunately I had to remove them, worst part of this is that I'm naked with some stranger
My bones felt as if they were melting and getting thicker my face felt like a gramma pinching it but a billion times worse with my nose and mouth fusing and my teeth falling out and being replaced by these thick pointy teeth. I was at this time being held by this stranger as my cries turned to whimpers he just stood there with a Look that I could only explain as the look I give people when I am gloating. The bones stopped cracking my heart slowed its beat and the pain went away he gave me this mirror and the only thing I could feel is complete terror as this thing I was looking at was me!
All my hair became this thick coarse black fur. This guy I was next to looked at least 8 feet tall if he wasn't crouched and now I saw that he was only a couple inches taller than me
Meaning that I grew about 2 feet taller and my body became wider and it became toned and had some indication of muscle. I have never worked out in my entire life.I looked at his body and saw that he was as built as a building and his eyes were yellow like a neon sign. Looking at the mirror again realizing that my eyes turned from a dark brown to a bright color of orange and in replace of my face was a snout white canine teeth and a dog like shape. My tail was just as long as my legs maybe even longer it to touched the floor. As he picked me up I could see all my possessions slowly leave as he takes me deeper into the valley. There was this slight calmness but I knew that I needed to escape but how he is much stronger than me and I'm in a form that I didn't even know was mine.
After about an hour of being carried by him I gained enough energy to talk. I then said with a really raspy voice angrily how am I a werewolf, my parents aren't even werewolf's. they ether didn't tell you but it is really unlikely or you were adopted. They would of told me and how am I supposed to believe you that I have werewolf in my blood. Because if you weren't a true werewolf you would be a lot more aggressive, and immediately howling at the moon and be eating everything in your path. And you're not like that. I howl out of joy and it is totally a choice and we are not cannibals. And another thing you have the mark of the werewolf it shows up every full moon and only we could see it. Anyways we are getting closer to our tribe. Stop saying that it's our tribe it's not mine. It is yours. It was about 5 minutes after he said that when I started to see furry heads and tails
I then realized I didn't even know this guys name Hey Who are you what's your name. My name is Bridge what's yours. My name is Kevin. As we entered the crowd I heard people talking they were saying stuff like how many newbies you get one I got two I got four
How many did you get Bridge I got this one here his name is Kevin
It's been a while since we found another indigo. Hey be nice Kevin we aren't as dangerous as you think we are quite the social and loving tribe. What do you mean we'll we greet each other with passion. What the-- before I could say f#*k Bridge puts his lips on mine and starts to ..... put his tongue in my mouth at first I wasn't complaining but then I realized where his hands were so like a werewolf I ripped him up with my claws and threw him about 2 yards into a tree and I think the cracking noise was his back. Then some other werewolves who looked like me started to restrain me and then one of them said with enthusiasm welcome to our pack.
I knew I couldn't fight them all but something inside me felt angry that they can just stand there smiling from what they turned me into but somewhere deep inside me felt like I finally found people that I belong with. They told me everything I needed to know about this culture and what truths the world got and the lies that people thought were to be true about monsters. It was interesting but I just needed to know two things how to turn back and what was their goal. An older looking wolf stood up from a chair and said sarcastically. It seems like the humans hate us and like to think of us as natural killers which we kind of are but we are not like the books people write. we know how to control it although there is not that much full blooded werewolf's anymore so we have to hunt down everyone who has it in there genes and hope that when we turn them they will be able to help us and not be so looked down upon being a monster. Why the hell should I believe you, for all I know this is some cult trying to take over the world. I didn't give them time to speak. And why the heck do you guys act like a family when you probably don't know what each other's real faces look like. Your a bunch of weed enthusiast. They then interrupted me before I could say anything else.A female wolf stood up looking superior from the rest she said sternly ,You understand and listen well we are no hippies and we are not weak we've seen each other's faces and we are family. We all have something in common we are all different and misunderstood and if you are going to judge us then you are no better than the humans who used to kill us even if we didn't kill. And besides you need us we need to teach you and it is especially important that you learn how to control this inherited form because people might think your dangerous you don't want to be killed you've got such a long life ahead of you. So join us Kevin. Ok I'll try it out but I want to leave now so just tell me what I need to know. The process is quite simple you just need to think about the difference in shape, stature, personality, from your werewolf mind and your human mind because we all act different especially under the moon. You just got to imagine that there is a switch that you turn on and off, don't worry though I'll teach you. Thank you for being so kind. Your welcome. My name by the way is Elize. I then did as they told me but nothing happens I tried and tried until I sighed. I can't turn back. Bridge responded awkwardly, yeah you can't turn back because it's a full moon, and even if you were strong enough to turn back you really should let your body naturally turn. Ack so it gets used to this form organically just in case because straining your body to change back could be deadly. Since you were my find its my responsibility to teach you more about us especially since your pretty old to be a new recruit and your parents probably adopted you so you basically know nothing. By the way those two earlier from your pack are Joey and Assagai. I ignorantly ignored what he said and did aloof. How old are you exactly. He answered with a clear voice, I'm 19 years old exactly the age you are. You look older than your age. Yeah thanks sorry about kissing you before I can be quite affectionate.I said to him in a hush like tone you don't need to apologize for anything. I got real close to him and Before I could get closer he said we probably should get you some clothes if you want though you could stay nude. Nah I would at least want some underwear to at least cover me.
Bridge was able to get me a v-neck shirt a denim jacket which wasn't my size but I wore it anyways. Then he game me these compression shorts which made me realize that my bulge was as big as a grapefruit. I was looking at the mirror he gave me and at that time I came to a realization that my form had completely developed because the soreness was gone, my fur which was course became fluffy and an even darker shade of black, and lastly my brown eyes turned more orange and glowed like the others. In the corner of my eye I saw that Bridge had my phone he then said I took the liberty and gave you some of our contacts some of the people even asked for your number everyone here barely knows you and your already the most popular newbie. I said to him in a kind voice thank you. He went on by saying hey you've got friends here especially me and your gonna need me to help you into all of this. I then stated your 19 so what college do you go to. Louisiana state what about you. I said enthusiastically hey you go to the same college as me. Well I gave you back most of your stuff there is another road that is a shortcut back into the city, but be careful Kevin people here are still bias when it comes to monsters even if it will be ending soon you could get hurt. Thank you for not killing me. rapping me, or otherwise. Bridge went on saying You're welcome and I just want to apologize because this isn't how I would of had it, it would have been easier to formally tell you before biting you. I hugged him and said goodbye fleas. He responded back with good bye pooch. I then I dash to the exit while retrieving my phone, he then shouted don't sniff anyone or pee on them, I responded saying can't make any promises. I soon came to a realization that I was running like an Olympian.I felt as if I can run forever. I never been this fast only in my dreams, if I could get a stronger human body then my werewolf form can definitely get three times the strength of that. I decided to stop by a fast food place that was in the city because it was like 4:00 am. All the people there gave me interesting looks one child wanted to hug me and the parent let her she was a little girl so I let her but one guy in the corner wanted to fight me so I asked the cashier to make it to go because I'm not getting in anymore fights tonight. Even though I was a pretty slim wolf I was bigger than half the people there although to be honest I'm now over 7 ft tall. All a sudden I just felt this great urge to pee but there was no f$cking bathrooms anywhere but lucky for me there was basically no one around at this time. I removed my shorts because there was no way relieving myself with them on. Jokingly I got on all four and peed on a fire hydrant like a dog. I was probably embarrassing all types of werewolf's everywhere. For some reason I heard and this burning type of noise and smelled smoke like something near me was burning. Turning around I could see that the fire hydrant was being corroded by what seemed to be the urine flowing out off me. In surprise I screamed why the hell is my pee acidic. By the time I was done returned to my hind legs I saw that 1/4 of this permanently marked hydrant was melted and that the ground was burned. I then put my booty like shorts back on and struggled to comprehend how much my life had changed. I then
recalled in a book I been reading that many magical symptom like occurrences can make witches stronger and every other monster have strange side effects.This made me feel better especially since my penis hurts more than that one night I had with Alex,but that didn't matter to me what really mattered would be getting home.
I desperately called my friend multiple times until he finally answered screaming, where the hell are you. I responded back with a nervous, something happened to me and I kinda got side tracked and-and I need you Calvin and bring Dillon. She is at the store and--. Please bring her Calvin I need to tell you both something it's really important and I need a ride. Wow you sound sick,Ok I'm coming bye. Wait before you go I need to tell you something. Yes? I'm a werewolf. I ended the conversation but the silence he gave me told me that I must've really surprised im. I was just awkwardly standing there a couple of people said they never seen me before, one witch came up to me and said I was hot stuff and I then replied you can put a spell on me anytime. She then said well then fluff you want to come with me to my place. I then said with a emotionless tone my friends picking me up so sorry. Well hopefully you don't eat them see you later she then let out an unusual cackle and left. About 20 minutes later my friend texted me, the text went something like this.
Hey come meet me at the Monstre Cafe. Dillon was able to come but I also brought Alex. I know we've all only knew you for like a year but as your friends we must say that that was quite a shocker.
I then replied with I'll text you when I get there,thank you for understanding.
I honestly didn't want to make a scene when coming in but fortunately people weren't judging me for what I am they were more judging me on what I was wearing, but what Bridge said was true I never exactly had time to honestly get to know those people but I know for a fact that I now gained four new contacts. As I stepped inside people were definitely looking at me and i could see my friends in the corner of my eyes. I gave them the all clear text saying that I was the wolf wearing the orange short shorts and denim jacket. They had then got up and then rushed at me but came to a sudden stop as if they expected me to say something. Calvin opened his mouth hesitated then said, you come often. I grinned a bit and said I actually got a little lost. What chasing your tail. Today's been a train wreck and I just rather go back to our place. Sorry we were just joking, are you ok? I just.....[they give me a concerned look].. Hey you know what we should do get some meat cause I'm hungry. How about we go to Taco Belll
Said Dillon with a chilled tone in her voice.
Alex then said in a whiny voice I want BurgerQueen! Let's just put it up to a vote I said, those for BurgerQueen raise your hand. Only Alex raised his hand. Those for Taco Belll, Calvin and Dillion raised there hands. Well I don't care where we go I'm hungry so where's Taco Belll? As we got drove over to the joint I noticed that Dillon and Alex were like burying themselves into my fur as if I wasn't already having a strange day Alex compares me to his dog at home named
Bailey. Everyone could barely keep themselves awake so me and Calvin both went inside. We got like four bags fillies with anything between crunch wraps to the burritos. We didn't bother driving back because it was like 5:30 am and by that time even I passed out, we were just a group of people all gathered around me cause none of us brought blankets. As I woke, I felt like myself again except I was a whole other person because well I'm a monster. Calvin mumbled "Wow I have a taco Belll hangover, is that possible?" Um maybe I mean what do they put in this stuff. Hey can you keep it down I'm sleeping, said Alex. I then said Alex you may look cute when you sleep but you snore and that's ugly. How about you go drive Kevin because I literally need some space. Oh you need space you were like spooning me. Shut up who cares who was spooning who Kevin go drive Calvin fell asleep again and I don't even know how he achieved that with you and your loud mouth breath that smells like a thousand diapers. Said Dillon. Ok fine I'll go, and my breath smells because they made me hunt and eat a live deer. Who's they? Alex said curiously. There just a group of monsters who want to be treated like people. Then Dillon said, how are you feeling about all this Kevin? You seem pretty shook from all of this. I replied I don't know how to feel on all of this I felt like I was some creep but at the same time I just felt at peace. Must of been painful Alex said hysterically. It was, but it was also quite the ride being all big and bad if you know what I mean.
We all share I laugh. But I really just want to get home and sort out everything. We understand Kev, we'll leave you alone. Calvin said groggily. Well I'm driving so get you belts on! By the time we got back to the dorm me and Calvin passed out again and slept for like two hours because the clock went off at 9:30. Uhhhhh Kevin I hate you! Said by the tired raging Calvin.
You're the one who wanted to take the early classes now let's go. Wait, today is Saturday, Calvin exclaimed. Well I have some stuff to do but I'll meet you here at 12. Wait you literally had no sleep.what's so important that you have to go? You want me to stay? Hey if I were you I would be pretty tired now come back here and sleep. But I have to...You need sleep.
[falls back to sleep]. I have been under a lot of stress there is always tomorrow. As I rested a couple of things kept going on in my head. Am I going to be nocturnal, am I truly adopted, is this protest going to get violent? I knew one thing only I feel lonely and Calvin can't help this time. I was just about to leave when I felt the familiar grasp of those comforting hands literally pick me up by my waist and carry me to bed. Ok listen I know how you are you may be the party animal type now more than ever but you never give yourself any time to rest. And for that act of rebellion I'm gonna... oh you're not even awake.
