A Werewolf's Demise

Chapter 18: That's News!

"Derek, why do you and Alex look like you've been attacked by a bear?" Brett questioned pulling out his laptop and a stack full of papers.

"No reason" Derek smiled and looked at me.

"Alright! Alright! That's disgusting! yall literally just met!" Brett's face was bright red and Derek laughed.

I then turned on the tv and the news came on.

[Breaking news: two more bodies have been found located in the same area. I'm here with you live talking to the chief of police who says this may be a potential mountain lion chief. " This is the second pair of bodies found in the past week! All have been mauled by an unidentified animal. There is a huge connection between the age they all seemed to be in their teens. To keep your children safe there will be a set curfew at 9:00 pm. We as police are trying to save as many lives as we can. Thank you!" Alright now let's go back to our weather, Josh]

Holy crap! Who's killing those teens?

" Alex come here!" Said Brett taking a seat at the kitchen table.

"We have to go check that out!" I said.

"Check out what?" Derek said stuffing his face full of doritos.

I stood up and walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"Hm, do you have any cheese?" I asked about opening the cabinet door.

"Yeah maybe, top shelf" Derek said looking at some papers.

"Dude! Your hands!" Brett said.

"What about them?" He said with a mouthful of food.

"You have dorito dust all over your fingers and you're getting it on my important documents!" Brett yelled.

"Oops my bad" Derek said in a sarcastic manner.

I grabbed the box and sat down in the empty chair. I looked up to see Derek wiping his hands on a napkin and Brett was on his macbook.

"What are y'all doing?" I tried to peek over at what they were looking at.

"Derek do you want me to tell her or are you going to?" Brett looked up from his laptop.

Derek nodded and looked at me.

"So your first shift will hurt like hell. The next full moon is two weeks away. See September 28th" he said pointing at the calendar on his papers.

"I'm gonna cut to the chase," said Brett turning his laptop around for me to see." you're a werewolf! you know claws, fangs, all that great stuff me and him have to make sure you don't wolf out and kill everyone! Especially me! I'm human!"

"Wow thanks for going easy on her!" Derek crossed his arms and sat back.

"Well, He has a point. I don't want to kill a human on my first shift and I don't want that human to be my friend either." I ate a handful of cheese.

"See finally someone agrees with me!" Brett threw up his hands.

"oh no!" I gasped.

"What!" Derek is concerned.

"That's my birthday! And my mother is throwing me a sweet sixteen!" I started to panic. " What am I going to do? I can't go to my birthday party because of I'll wolf out on everyone"

I started to bite my nails nervously.

"Whoa easy tiger! Calm down! We will think of something! We always have a plan!" Brett gently grabbed my shoulders.

"Alex why didn't you tell me!" Derek gritted his teeth.

"Because it doesn't matter!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, it does Alex!" Derek yelled then slammed his hand down.
