The 1940's Escape

Chapter 5 : A snack for a werewolf

1938 (3 years before the guests arrive)
Fran's POV
"Ok I'm heading out to the market to get a few things I will be back in an hour." I said before leaving the house. It was a cold afternoon but I didn't mind much. When I got into town people were whispering about me saying that the estate was haunted which I believed because I've seen things that were unusual but I didn't think much of it. So I went into the store bought a few thing like bread & eggs. Then headed home, But when I got home to ask the general about the neighbors. I saw him with his cat on the table ready to slit it's throat. It was horrible to see.

Mae's POV 9:30 p.m.
" So that happened." I said before holding my stomach. "Now who's going to help us vote?" Collin said as he sat next to Dana in the lounge. "Well the grounds keeper is out back. Dana said answering Collin's question. "I almost died." I said bearing my teeth. "That doesn't mean anything!" Collin said.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly we hear gun shots. So we went to check it out. We started running to the sound. As soon as we walked outside to the backyard. There were canons firing it was like a damn war zone. I don't know what's happening because everything in this is a wild card. "Everyone get down!" Collin yells as we all did so. But then I noticed something walking around the wet grass towards the house. Once my eyes focused it was a two-headed cat sort of. I decided to follow it so I can get answers to why we are here.

3rd person POV
" Guys where's Mae?" Autumn said looking around. "Shit! That girl is always getting lost." Tim said as Dana lead everyone from the chaos. Once everyone was inside they immediately started looking. Angela & Dana looked in the basement there was nothing. Tim & Collin looked upstairs in the master bedroom. Tim found a photo of the one of the previous owners with Fran & his cat. "Collin I think I know what Mae followed." He said as he showed him the photo.

Mae's POV (It's all talking in the cat's thoughts)
I followed the cat thing into the study. It jumped on the desk making pages fly everywhere. Then it jumped into a woodenfiling cabinets. "You can't get my ass dog." Oh that's fucking fantastic I can understand animals now & they can understand me. "Why am I here demon!?" I said as the cat hissed. I was laying on the floor still looking for the little shit.
"We are trapped in this old house, Me & the other spirits." The cat said as he pounced onto my chest. "You're not an actual dog are you?" He said rubbing his head against my cheek before jumping back onto the desk with his tail whipping. "So your friends what are they like?" He said now looking through a book. "Oh my friends are amazing. I'll protect them with my life." I said sitting up before he could pounce on me again. "Oh really not even your friend Bailie?" He said with a devilish smile. "Look! What could I do I was chained up & I was in the lower part of the chamber." I said as I'm trying to keep my cool. "What about Dana & Tim ?" The cat said still sitting on the desk like no one's business. "They were an accident & I didn't know Dana was going to be poisoned by the maid & I don't know Tim was going to be killed by Frankenstein. I didn't know any of this was going to happen. Now I don't know who is going to die next." I said on the verge of tears. "Ok jeez calm down kid." The cat said as he looked down at me still sitting on the floor. "I was bitten by one of the previous owners. I took the antidote but it doesn't fully work til sunrise." I said wiping my tears. It was quite for a moment until he broke the silence. "So how about Adrian you both seem very close I wouldn't be surprised if you missed blocking the bullet." He said digging his claws into my chest. "Stop!" I screamed. Once I opened my eyes I was taller than the bookshelf on the right of me. "DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT MY FRIEND YOU FURY ASSHOLE!" I yelled as he hissed. "What are you gonna do eat me?" He said sarcastically. So I shrink down to my normal height & grabbed him.

3rd person POV
"So the cat in the photo is the general's & Mae followed it because she's a damn werewolf for frig sake. Adrian said annoyed. "What the hell did I get myself into?" Dana muttered. "Wait maybe it knows something. Maybe it knows why we are here." Autumn said examining the photo for more clues. Suddenly they hear a roaring coming from the study. They all run upstairs to check out the sound. When they got up Dana & Collin held everyone back so What was behind the door didn't hurt them. When Dana opened the door. They saw Mae & they were disgusted by what they saw. Tim even fainted.

Mae's POV
"Oh hey guess." I said as I sank my teeth into the dead cat's stomach. "Eww What the hell Mae?!" Dana said shielding her eyes from the site of the dead cat. "Look I was talking to him for a bit after a while he got annoying so I went savage on his ass." I said wiping the blood from my mouth. "Ok whatever floats your boat." Collin said looking calm as all get out. The others just stared in stock while Adrian & Dana were trying to wake up Tim. "It taste like chicken!" I said mouth full of cat guts. "Mae Stop!" Adrian said probably getting annoyed with my shenanigans.
"What! It's the truth & I haven't eaten in 4 hours." I said. "Sorry I just want the curse to be gone & get the hell out of here." I said apologizing which was a little unnecessary. "Come on Guys let's go find out about the next challenge." Collin said as we headed out of the study while leaving a bloody mess behind.
