Tom's P.O.V

Not again, this seems to happen a lot lately, getting dragged out into a mission like this. Just because I want to be the hero for once, Dan gets everything, the glory, the respect the girls. It's true every once in a while I want to be the hero… but for me there is a risk of- of becoming something on the inside. That's why I stay inside, and stay on technology; it's SAFER that way, much safer.

But it couldn't get any worse now; not only has Aneisha and Zoe dragged me out onto a mission because they feel sorry and want me to get what I want, which is sweet. But the one time I come out to play, we find K.O.R.P.S. And I just happen to wind up locked in a cage; another reason not to let me out on a mission.

Believe me when I say it gets harder, much harder. Alone, trapped, on the verge of transforming- I can already feel the blood pumping through me, the beat of my heart quickening its pace. I could just be nervous… but I know I'm not. Sweat was starting to roll down my face, slowly trickling down my forehead.

You know those books, Blade Quest, the series I read and like so much because I got to be the hero, that's not entirely true… I also read those books because they made me feel normal, I wasn't just a figment of someone's imagination… I could relate to something, finally. I had a sense of belonging, not being odd… For once.

By now you probably have guessed that I am a werewolf, well not really, not yet anyway- I do change into a wolf, but a proper one, NOT a half-man half-wolf hybrid. Changes happen, it's a weird feeling, cause all my bones are getting replaced, one of the perks of being a werewolf, healing fast. ONE reason why I should go on missions more often, literally the only good reason.

Did I mention that I am alone; and probably stuck here, left to be Tom, Tom Tupper. Zoe and Aneisha have probably gone for help, Dan in other words. He's a great guy and all, but… you know. I want the girls, the glory, to be the hero but I physically can't. I get too excited and would transform instantly, I'm surprised I haven't changed yet. But Dan is sick, so will they get Frank? I don't know, but I can make it out alive, wolves can do almost anything, but I can't be caught, not yet not ever.

RPG, yet another thing that makes me feel normal, the fact that we can choose to be a mythical creature, no one would believe they are real and people could just choose what they wanted, what they wanted to be. I never choose a wolf, I have that reality. Permanently.

I am in a cage, more like a prison cell, I'm about to get interrogated, asked about M.I.9, but I can't, the power is getting too strong, any second now and it will be Tom Wolf not Tom Human. I can hear their footsteps coming, echoing off the walls getting closer. Wolves have excellent hearing as you may have heard why we can hunt so easily. CRAP! Food, never think of food when in pre wolf stage, my stomach began to growl, slowly getting louder. No! Just a few more seconds… I screwed my eyes shut praying that I would wake up from this nightmare.

A/N: This is the first of (hopefully) many chapters. :3 I really do love feedback, and hearing from you guys will make it worth while! But if you feel like i need to change something, please tell me. But I promise you that there will be the eventual pairings of Tom and Aneisha, I PROMISE
