What would happen if Tommy wasn't the only person on that camping trip? What if someone went looking for him, someone who was normally picked on, beaten and normally stuffed in a locker.
This is were our tale begins…….
!!!!!!!!
"Tommy I'm gonna need you to gather more wood for the fire," His instructor walked up.
Tommy Dawkins normal average guy, on the football team, sort of a bully to the geeks and nerds and also was considered a cutie by all the girls at his school, " Yeah, sure coach," He took off into the woods, it had just rain so dry wood was scarce. He was humming to himself when something moved behind him. "Hello?" Everything was silent again. Tommy started humming again and walked on. There was a howl in the distance. " Better get back to camp," he thought to himself and turned around, there was a glowing pair of yellow eyes staring at him. " Great probably a rabid dog, shoo go away," he started walking back to camp. The dog got in front of him yet again but this time there was an angry growl coming from it.
" Yeah, yeah growl all you want," He walked passed the dog. Another howl came from behind him, " What do you want," he looked back, the dog had its teeth bared. It lunged forward biting him in the leg. Tommy kicked the dog off and grabbed his leg, the dog lunged once more catching him in the shoulder. Tommy cried out in pain.
Tommy's POV
" The pain seared through my body, my leg was bleeding badly and my shoulder along with it, I looked up toward the dog and it stood there looking back at me, his eyes were glowing yellow. I tried to stand up but my leg hurt to badly, the dog came over and sort of leaned against me so I could stand, I limped over to a near-by tree trying to get away from it but the dog followed, it started growling again I knew I was in for it again it had tasted my blood twice and it wanted more.
" Help is anyone out there please help," I called the best I could, my body seemed to be getting tired by the minute. I could hear the dog growling as my vision blurred, I took a step forward, the dog lunged once more this time I knew it was coming even though my body was tired I could hear it, it lunged toward my other shoulder and I flipped it over my head causing it to come down hard on the ground, I found myself letting out a small growl. " Wait a minute did I just growl?" I asked my self, before falling unconscious.
Merton J. Dingle's POV
The coach asked me to go look for Dawkins, I was reluctant but went, " Stupid jocks, why are they always cared more for then me, I mean so what if I'm gothic, the only reason I got sent on this stupid trip is because I was in trouble and coach needed a ball boy for summer events," I stopped talking when I heard a wolf howl some where ahead of me. I ran up to hear fighting, "Help is anyone there please help," I continued to walk forward when I seen a wolf or big dog attacking Tommy. He threw the dog over his head, he was growling. The dog hit against a near-by tree and did not wake up, I rushed over when I seen the jock fall to the ground bleeding. I ran back to camp to get some help.
Tommy's POV
'I woke up sometime later in a hospital, My shoulder was bandage and there was a cast around my leg,
" Tommy how are you doing," Coach walked in.
" I don't know what happened,"
" We think maybe a wild dog or wolf must have attacked you,"
"Am I going to be ok?" I asked trying to move my shoulder, which hurt a lot.
" Yeah the nurse said there was no broken bones so at the beginning of school football practice awaits," he smiled,
"Are my parents around?"
"Yeah your mom's in the waiting room, want me to get her?"
" Would you please, thanks coach," He left the room, ' The last thing I remember was the growling,' I thought to myself.
" Oh Honey," My mom came in and hugged me,
" Hi mom," I smiled.
" I was just talking to the nurse and she said your going to have to stay here tonight too,"
" It's ok I think can manage," I rested my head on the pillow.
" I'll let you get some sleep," My mom smiled, and walked toward the door.
" Ok, bye mom," She left I sat there falling asleep when the freak named Merton Dingle walked in. " What do want," I asked annoyed.
" To see how you're doing that's all," he walked closer and held up a needle.
" What, are you going to do with that," I asked nervous.
" Just a little experiment to see if your becoming a werewolf," he got closer.
" Are you nuts get away from me, NURSE," I yelled.
" Calm down all I need is some of your blood,"
"NURSE," I screamed once more as he got closer, I found myself growling again and stopped.
" I knew it," Merton smiled.
" I'm not becoming a werewolf there are no such things," I sighed in annoyance, " Get out of hear freak,"
" Fine but on the night of the full moon, which is in two days, you can come to my lair," He handed me a piece of paper which had his address on it.
" Whatever just get out of here," I rolled over. I heard him leave so I fell asleep.
((((Next Morning Around 5:14 AM (Still in Tommy's POV))))
' I was awoken by the strangest sound, it was a mix of cars honking and people screaming. I sat up and got out of bed my leg felt better, I limped over to the window and looked out, they had put me on the 11th floor of the hospital facing the opposite direction of the accident. "Must have been some crash to let me hear it all the way up here,"
"Mr. Dawkins what are you doing out of bed," a nurse popped in behind me.
" I, uh, just heard that accident it kinda woke me up," I said while she helped me back into bed.
" I have to do one more test, and I'm going to need some of your blood,"
" Ok," I smiled, she grabbed a needle and tied that rubber thing around my arm, and injected the needle, I growled, but stopped abruptly, she smiled when I put my hand over my mouth.
" There all done," she held up the syringe, it was full of red liquid and then left the room.
' I sat there looking out the window at the night sky, the moon was beautiful, it was the first time I had actually stopped and look in depth at it, something about it was calming and it helped me back to sleep,'
It was around 8 when I got up the second time and that was because my doctor came in and said I could go home, My dad brought the car around and helped me out of the wheelchair and into the sedan. Mom sat in the backseat.
" Boy it feels good to get out of there," I smiled.
"Oh Tommy one of your friend's dropped this off for you," My mom handed me a letter.
" Dear Tommy,
Sorry for before but I need to talk to you, knowing that you're a jock you probably threw away my address so I wrote it down again it at the bottom of this letter,
Merton"
'What could this dork want' I thought to myself.
" What is it son,"
"Just a letter from my buddy, who came to see me in the hospital," I lied. The rest of the drive home was quiet, dad would ever now and then turn the radio station but no one really cared. We reached home and my parents helped me into bed my brother Dean was stilling front of the TV.
" Gilligan you're never going to get off that island," he laughed.
"Do you need anything dear," My mother covered me up.
"No mom I'm fine," I smiled.
"Ok dear just holler if you need me," My parents left the room. My shoulder no longer hurt, so I lifted the bandages to see how bad it actually was, to my disbelief the wound was gone no scar or anything,
" The doctor must have done a really good job," I said to myself, the cast was beginning to annoy me so I took it off to look at the wound on my leg, it was gone to, "Wow," was all I could say. I got out of bed and walked around everything was fine no pain anywhere. I looked out my window, the sun was shinning and I didn't want to stay in bed all day. I slowly opened my window and climbed out onto the ledge, then jumped down to the ground, it wasn't that far down and I had always snuck out this way as a kid.
"Alright now off to where ever the freak lives," I looked down at the address it was a couple of blocks away. " I should probably stretch out my leg a bit," I told myself while taking of running in the direction of his house. The run seemed to be refreshing and it seemed to reenergize me, I don't know why but I felt myself be alittle faster, "It's going to be a great year," I smiled thinking of football.
###### Normal POV#####
Tommy got to Merton's house and knocked on the door,
" Oh my god, it's Tommy Dawkins," a girl opened the door with that greeting.
" Yeah, hi, Merton wanted to ask me something, is he home,"
" You want to see my brother, Oh my god, yeah he's home he's downstairs," She smiled sweetly.
"Uh, thanks," Tommy walked in,
" Oh by the way my names Becky I'm Merton's sister." She led him to the basement door and walked away. Tommy knocked lightly on the door. Merton smiled when he seen who it was.
" Well, well, Tommy Dawkins, our friendly neighborhood werewolf," Merton led Tommy downstairs.
" Listen Merton I'm not a werewolf, those things aren't real," Tommy sighed.
" If your not a werewolf, let me take some of your blood and test it," He held up another syringe. Tommy growled and backed away; he put a hand over his mouth.
" See I told you, your turning into a werewolf," Merton smiled.
" No I'm not, you freak, werewolves are just superstitions," Tommy slipped off the wall and took a step forward.
" Listen Tommy, I know about these things, and let me tell you the constant growling is a sign,"
"I only growl because I get pissed ok, I've done it is the past it's not a sign," Tommy crossed his arms and sat down on the bed.
" Really then explain this," Merton took a silver necklace with cross on it and stuck it in Tommy's hand.
" Is something supposed to happen," He played with the necklace.
" Put it on," Merton instructed. Tommy sighed once more then put the necklace on.
(Tommy's POV)
As soon as I put that necklace on I could feel a pain going through my chest, I took the necklace off, and handed it back to Merton but the necklace had burnt my flesh where it had touched, it took a moment for my skin to stop feeling like it was burning, then it healed.
" Told ya," Merton smiled.
" Silver always did give me a rash," I commented.
" But Tommy look at the facts, you growl constantly, the silver just burnt your skin, you healed so quickly, and your eyes flashed yellow,"
" What, when," I started to get annoyed.
" When you put the necklace around your neck,"
" No they didn't, besides it probably was just light reflection,"
" Tommy look around, there's barely any light down here except for my snakes heat lamp,"
" You gotta snake cool," I walked over to it.
"Listen Tommy just listen to me, eat some of this wolfbane and you won't become a werewolf," Merton got a jar, I looked at the strange green stuff and sighed.
" Merton, listen I'm not becoming a werewolf, I guess living in the dark ages for so long makes you believe their real," I pushed away the jar.
" I know you might not believe me but come here and look," Merton went to his computer, " Searching lycanthropy,"
" What?"
"Lycanthropy, it's the technical name for werwolfism,"
" Will you just let things rest for Pete's sake," I stared at the computer screen. Merton brought up something and read it,
" The first day after being bitten, a werewolf to be will not be able to control how much he or she growls, also he or she will start having reactions to silver, and they will be more infatuated with the moon, Tommy these are all the symptoms you are having,"
"Not their not I don't stare at the moon, silver always gives me a rash as I have said, and I only growl when I get pissed most people do,"
" Fine, fine if you wont believe me, we will just have to see tomorrow night since it's the full moon and all,"
" What do you mean we will, my parents still think I'm at home sleeping in my bed," I started to growl again, but covered my mouth.
" Tommy, Tommy, Tommy," Merton still smiled. Now I was pissed off and decided to leave, I walked back up stairs where Becky rushed back to me.
" How'd it go down there with the freak," she smiled annoyingly.
" It was ok," I said politely and left the house, I ran beck to my house and walked in the front door carefully as to not my parents know I'm up, but of course someone stopped me.
" Tommy, what are you doing," My mother walked up to me.
" I just went for a walk, I decide to stretch out my legs," I lied.
" Well how do you feel,"
" Actually I'm feeling really good, but don't worry I'm gonna head back up to my room and get some sleep,"
"Ok Tommy," she smiled and walked into the living room, I ran upstairs to my bed and laid down,
" Well that was the stupidest thing I have ever done," I said thinking about Merton and his idea that I was a werewolf, or had lycanth whatever.
