"The beast of Gevaudan." Allison read from the textbook.
"Are you still reading that?" Alex asked.
Last night Kate took it upon herself to bestow some family history upon the girls. The beast of Gevaudan, who was told to have killed millions, making it to look like animal attacks.
It seemed as though history may be repeating itself.
Allison had been reading that book since they got to school. She was engrossed in learning more about the wonderful world of hidden werewolves.
If only she knew.
"Just Listen. A quadruped wolf - like monster, prowling the Auvergne and south Dordogne areas of France during the year 1764 to 1767. La Bete killed over a hundred people, becoming so infamous that the King Louie the 15th sent one of his best hunters to try and kill it." She read
"Boring" Lydia said, waving her fork around.
"Even the church eventually declared the monster a messenger of Satan." Allison continued
"Still boring." Lydia bit the food of her fork
"Cryptozoologists believe it may have been a subspecies of hoofed predator, possibly a mesonychid." Allison explained
"This is a long story" Alex sighed
"While others believe it was a powerful sorcerer who could shape - shift into a man - eating monster." Allison looked, her face lit up with interest.
"Any of this have anything to do with your family?" Lydia asked
"Probably more than you'd think" Alex muttered, still wounded by her revelation.
"It is believed that la Bete was finally trapped and killed by a renown hunter who claimed his wife and four children were the first to fall prey to the creature. His name was Argent."
Alex swallowed, this had been happening for over 200 years; how could she possibly be the thing that throws it all out of balance.
"Your ancestors killed a big wolf. So what?" Lydia asked, not particularly interested.
Alex shook her head, it was more than one wolf. It was many wolves, wolves Alex happened to know.
Somehow she was now a girl who knew wolves.
Allison shook her head, turning the book "It's Not just a big wolf. Take a look at this picture."
Lydia stared deeply at the picture, it was like she went somewhere for a second. Recalling a distant memory.
The sisters shared a glance, noticing Lydia's deepened stare.
"Lydia!" Alex called her name, waving her hand.
Lydia snapped back into reality, she tilted her head and smiled "It looks - like a big - wolf."
With that, Lydia took her feet, "See you in History." She smiled, just as she left them.
Alex looked behind her and spotted a certain wolf hiding horribly behind a book "What's with him?"
