Chapter 1: Cody's Side

It has been six years, since that day. Through the burl of my life. I think they have finally come together. With the help of Dr. Jen, a monster hunter, who found me two days after my departure from the world I used to know. I know that was something hard to grasp, but he has put aside his gloomy life style to take me in.

And with his help, I can find Zack. I need to know what happened to him.

"Cody . . . we're almost there."

"Okay." Awaking me from my daydreaming, the trees thinning out, and buildings becoming clearer to see.

Deep in my mind, I know I'll find Zack. To know what happened to mom and dad. He's my key to my forgotten memories.

"Zack . . . " The car rapidly tipped over, his name was soon covered with a scream.

"Bastard . . . " Dr. Jen sneered as he was checking me.

"I'm fine . . . " This broken body of mine can handle things like this. A broke heart is another.

Demon yellow eyes are seen through the deep, dark woods from the shatter windows of the car. Dr. Jen wastes no time to attack it. A sliver back wolf is rare in these parts. Being so close to a city no less. Someone knows we would be coming.

Who?

Hard to say.

A sudden shout reaches my ears. On reflex, I grabbed the gun that Dr. Jen gave me a month when I lived with him. Saying to only use it if he wasn't around to be there for me. This was one of the many times this gun's echoes vibrated my ears.

I no longer flinch at the sound.

"Dr. Jen . . . " I call, dragging my numb body out of the upside down car, my blood trickles down flesh from the glass and metal that is found within me. "Doctor . . . "

I feel his worn-out hands take hold of me, like a father to a son. Easing me to my feet. My eyes land on the ex-werewolf of a man, around to be twenty-five years old, old scars long ago healed and making him a living puzzle set.

A howl could be heard in the thick forest we found ourselves in.

"Let's go."

Said nothing and followed. My body might have read, that I was calm and not scared of the things around me. On the inside, I needed my blanket and my brother. But with both far out of my reach, my gun and the doctor were all I had in this mad world, I called Boston.
