The MoonWolf

ch.17

He was bluffing
The snake-man lies
I hope its a lie

My walls began to crumble. Bit by bit I felt the control. My mind was spinning, dizzily I fell backwards. I hit the tube and zapped into focus. Reanon grabbed me and pulled me through the tube. The Snake man fummed with anger. He pounded his fists angrily against the wall until they bled. Dazed I looked up at Reanon, he shook his head at the snake.

"Gather yourself, then we look for the others," I look at him confused.

"The others are dead," stubornly I stood up, blood rushed and my ears rung.

"Slowly!"

"They are dead, all of them..."

"No Atraya, this man," he gestured," isnt able to kill, he must be working for someone else, if we're lucky Snow and Faith are alive."

I shook my head," Kurio, he was alive, out there, I saw him."

Frustrated Reanon struck the tube.

"He's gone Atraya!!"

Terrified I moved far from Reanon. His fingers had begun to shoot out sparks and his eyes blazed. A sorceror loosing his temper, that can't be good. The sparks bounced from the tube. One zapped me on my foot. A sissling burn traveled up my spine. I screamed and wailed as my whole body burned. Bumps formed on my skin, blistering open as the electricity continued.

"Stop!"

Reanon gasped and leaned on the tube for support. I sighed and slowly stood up. The snake man was trembling outside the tube. He muttered angrily to himself.

"I was 'bout to eat a sorceror?" He paced," bad, bad, bad me. He can't stay here, his father will track him and kill, oh my, kill me!"

He slithered towards us and shedded a layer of his sickly skin as he did. It lay behind Kurio's body. I glanced at Reanon, his eyes were mortified. He stared at me and then saw what he had done. The bumps and blisters now marked my face. That is okay, in werewolf form I am perfectly fine.
Wait!
Werewolf form...is always okay unless hurt as a werewolf!

"Kurio!" I gasped.

Reanon looked at me curiously and yet he was ashamed. I realized, if I could somehow turn Kurio into his wolf self he'd be alive. It made perfect sense to me. I explained it to Reanon while the snake man paused and chattered to himself again. Reanon nodded slowly and agreed.

"It could work," he said at last,"I can do it with some help. We'd need Faith."

I nod excited, then I realize it, the snake man said that he'd eaten a friend. I look over at the trembling man, unable to make a decision. I find my voice and kick the tube hard.

"Let us out snake man!" I say," Reanon will call his father on you!'

That sounded better in my head.

Still, the man quivered.

"Yess," he hissed, wandering to the far corner of the room," but all of you?"

"All of us! Or I summon him right now!" Reanon threatened,"Now!"

The snake man nodded slowly thinking.

"Are you able to piece together the British one?"

My eyes bugged out of my head.

"What?!"
