Chapter Two
The diner case was being held as top priority. Horatio had asked Ryan at the hospital what had went on. Ryan had told him he wasn't quit sure. He thought he saw a Grey Wolf, but they were'nt native to the area the only place you could find them was in zoo's so he didn't know if he was seeing things or not. Horatio had told him to either go back to the lab and help work things out or go home and get some rest. Ryan had opted to going back to the lab. Eric came into the DNA lab to see where they had gotten so far. "Valera did you get the results back?" asked Eric.
"Yeah, but the victim has very..."
"Very what?"
Valera hesitated trying to find the right words to say. "Unique DNA."
"What do mean unique?"
"She not only has human DNA, she also has wolf DNA. Along with various other animals."
"Is there some kind of mistake?"
"I ran it five times. This isn't a mistake. I'm just as surprised as you are. This is beyond believable," replied Valera.
"Well it might explain why witnesses saw a wolf, but we couldn't account for one being there," said Eric. "I'm going to go talk to Ryan. He's been real quiet and we need to get clarification from him." Eric stepped out of the DNA lab and went to find Ryan.
Ryan stood over Dan Cooper going over the surveillance camera's at the diner after he had gotten checked out. A bandage was wrapped his arm. "You know Wolfe from what I've heard witnesses say that you would've been shot in the head if this supposed wolf hadn't attacked the guy," said Dan.
Ryan glared at Dan, but suddenly felt a surge of energy shoot up to his eyes and they went blurry for a moment before clarity came back, but something was different, things looked different, clearer in fact, but not colorful. "Woah, Wolfe I think you hit your head or something after being shot at, because your eyes are creeping me out."
Ryan rubbed his eyes ignoring Dan's remark, but nothing happened his eyes were still sharper then ever. He turned and rushed out of the A/V lab, brushing past Eric. "What's his problem?" asked Eric to Dan.
"His eyes are bugging out," replied Dan, turning back to his work.
Eric was in disbelief at the bluntness. "This may have something to do with his eye injury. Did you think of that," Eric replied
"Delko, I..." Eric turned and went after Ryan before Dan could finish.
Ryan
rushed into a bathroom stall and shut the door as a tingling feeling
engulfed his whole body.
Eric saw Ryan enter the restrooms and
followed quickly. When he entered he noticed that one of the stalls
were closed. "Wolfe you alright?"
Ryan heard the question it was really loud to him. "Don't yell I'm fine," he said back.
Eric heard a harsh bark in reply. "Wolfe I got to tell you that's a great imitation, but a real response would be nice," said Eric as he approached the stall door he heard another sharp bark.
Eric knocked on the stall door and it swung open to reveal a wolf standing there. There was another sharp bark that made Eric jump. "Nice doggie, stay there. Stay," Eric said as he backed up slowly. He made his way to door and exited. After the door closed behind him he made a run for it coming across Calleigh first. "Calleigh, wolf...in ...bathroom."
"That's nice Eric, but I don't need to know where Ryan is every second of the day."
"No, there's a wolf in the the bathroom."
"You mean the animal?"
Eric nodded his head.
Ryan was confused. Why was
Eric calling him doggie. Was this some new kind of joke that made fun
of his surname. He looked down at his feet, but instead he saw paws.
He ran out of the stall putting front paws up on the sink to look
into the mirror. Instead of seeing the face he normally saw it was
the face of a wolf. The bathroom door opened and Calleigh and Eric
stepped in. He retreated from the sink and backed up as they slowly
made their way toward him.
"Eric I think it's more scared then
aggressive, but I think it's a good idea to call animal control,"
said Calliegh.
"Guys it's me come on," said Ryan as he saw his co-workers jump as he spoke.
He realized it didn't help. That they didn't understand him. Eric slowly backed up as did Calleigh. When Dan burst in. "Calleigh, what are you do-"
"Coop shut the door," yelled Calleigh.
But it was to late Ryan took the chance and bolted out of the bathroom. Coming out into the receptionist area. He heard screams erupt from several lab techs and officers making their way through the halls turned and pointed their guns at him. Ryan heard the bathroom door open and he felt his ears twitch in that direction. "No wait, don't shoot, it's just an animal. It's acting more scared of us then aggressive towards us. Just stand back. I called animal control they're on their way," came Calliegh's voice.
Ryan got nervous he couldn't have animal control take him away. All he wanted to do was be his normal self again, but he couldn't do that here. People would think he's a freak. He had to get away and find out how to get back to himself. The elevators dinged and opened to reveal animal control. One walked over to Calleigh. "We were called here about a problem," said one of the men. Calleigh pointed at Ryan.
"Wow a wolf. What a beautiful creature. This one isn't that old either four possibly. Did something happen to it?"
"What do mean?" asked Eric.
"It has a bandage wrapped around it's right front leg. We'll check any zoo's to see if they're missing any wolves with front leg injuries. Grey Wolves aren't indigenous to Miami. It looks really shy so it's probably had a ruff patch with people, but it's probably domestic most wild wolves would be really aggressive. Come here boy," said the head control bending down level to Ryan. Ryan began to back away. "No, no boy come here."
Ryan continued to back away and then turned and ran. He knew he was risking a lot by pulling this stunt. He put all his wait on his paws pushing off as he jumped through the second story window. He felt his body hit the ground. He got up weakly and took of as fast as he could.
"Holy crap that wolf just jumped through a second story window and took off. It seriously doesn't want to be caught," said the lead animal control officer. "Thanks for contacting us about the wolf will contact news stations to put out bulletins so they can tell people to be careful when they're outside."
"Ah yeah," said Calleigh still astonished at what she just witnessed. Eric stood beside her as animal control left.
"We need to get back to this weird case. I need to find Ryan and ask him questions to help clarify a few things," said Eric.
"Where is Ryan anyways?" asked Calleigh.
"I thought I saw him go into the bathroom, but this whole wolf thing happened. I don't know I'm confused by this whole thing."
"Maybe he just went home to rest. He's had a ruff day," said Calleigh.
"Yeah and having a conversation with Dan doesn't help much either," said Eric.
Calleigh rolled her eyes and both she and Eric went back to the case.
Ryan padded through the park. The sun had set and it was now dark. All he could think about was how much his feet... oh wait no his paws hurt. He was aggravated that he couldn't figure out how to be normal again. All he wanted was to be him again. He heard a rustle and felt his ears perk. at the noise. A woman emerged from the brush and Ryan backed away slowly. "Shhh, no it's alright. There's no need to be afraid of me Ryan."
Ryan didn't know how this woman knew who he was especially sense he was in the form of a wolf. "The woman who saved your life at the diner, Sanabeth. Her spirit came to Elpha and told him that she made a transfer of her gift. She told him she transferred it to you. He knew you might have troubles controlling your new capabilities so he sent me," said the woman. She laughed when she heard a few quiet barks meaning 'That still doesn't tell me how you know who I am.'' and she spoke once more. "Perhaps this will help." She crossed her hands across her chest in a delicate matter closing her eye and bowing her head as green wings close to the looks of a butterfly appeared. "I'm a fairy Ryan. A fairy apart of a world you have become apart of. To be specific I'm Jadeita Fairy of Nature, which is why I understand you when you speak wolf. But I can not explain all the questions that you have, but Elpha can and he sent me to bring you to him. Please come with me if you wish to understand what you're going through."
Ryan hesitated before he stepped forward to Jadeita. She placed a gentle hand on his muzzle before she whispered something in a language Ryan didn't understand. A strange feeling overtook him. With a shimmer of green and blue light Ryan and Jadeita disappeared from the park.
"Ryan's not picking up his cell or home phone," said Eric.
"Give him a break Eric," Said Calleigh.
"Oh yeah it's just to bad that he wasn't almost attacked by a wolf."
"Aaah guys? Where's Horatio?" asked Valera.
"What is it Valera?" asked Eric.
"Well I'd like to get a DNA sample to confirm first, but he hasn't been around."
"Why do you need a DNA sample from Horatio?" asked Calleigh.
"It's not him I need the sample from."
"Ryan?" asked Calleigh.
Valera nodded her head.
"Why?"
"Well when I was checking the blood on Ryan's cloths because he tried to help the victim, of course I ran some of his. While some turned out to be normal, some of it was like the girls," said Valera.
"Could the blood be to mingled to know who's is who's?" asked Eric.
"It's possible, but I don't think it's the case. That's why I need to get a blood sample to see," said Valera as she walked off the find Horatio.
"What's she talking about Eric?" Calleigh asked turning on Eric.
"The victim has very strange DNA Cal. It says she not only has human DNA running through her, but wolf, along with other various animals."
"Ryan may be infected with this odd... who knows what that this girl had," said Calleigh.
"I doubt that he's infected Cal."
"I'm going to look for Ryan," she said and left.
"Elpha I have arrived," said Jadeita.
Ryan looked around cautiously. He felt like he was in place similar to the one scene in Bambi, when the deer were jumping through the clouds. "Good," came a booming masculine voice. "I see that you are very uneasy to be here Ryan. It is quit alright. I would be too if I were in your predicament. I assume you'll be wanting an explanation to soothe your confusion. Sanabeth Ross is a woman who risked her own life to save you this afternoon, but she was always one to make sacrifices for the goodness of others. She couldn't see you get killed because the men that came in there were looking for her. Sanabeth was a morpher she had the capability to turn into any animal she so desired to, but her dominate form was her own human form and that of a wolf. Before she passed on she transferred her gift to you."
"Why me?" asked Ryan.
"Sanabeth felt that you were the right person. That you are capable of doing the right thing with this gift," replied Elpha.
"Can't I transfer this to someone else more capable?" asked Ryan.
"No " came a sharp female voice. "The gift was only able to be transferred once and when in dire need like when the original Morpher is on the verge of death."
"But I don't want this," said Ryan.
"Sometimes we have to deal with situations that we don't necessarily want, but what we have to do is stand up tall and live with it to the best of our capability," said the female.
"Magentellia speaks correctly Ryan," said Elpha.
"What is the purpose of being this Morpher? I can't even change back into myself," said Ryan.
"Being a Morpher is a wondrous thing. You are the only one. There is no other morpher in the world. All the good of our world has tried to keep Sanabeth alive, but now we must keep you alive," said Magentellia.
"When you say our world, what do mean by that? And why do you need to keep me alive?" asked Ryan.
"When we say our world, we are referring to the world of the supernatural and we must keep you alive because you are the entire worlds last hope," said Elpha.
Ryan could feel a lump in his throat. "Ryan, There's a extremely evil Lord known as the Leader of the Underdemons or supernatural beings that have turned to the dark side. His name is Herbetrude. He also uses humans to do some of his work. The men at the diner were there for Herbetrude looking for Sanabeth," explained Jadeita.
"Sooner or later Herbetrude will discover that the gift was given to you and he'll stop at nothing to defeat you, but you do not have the strength yet to defeat him. You must be very careful of to whom you show your gift to. If you show it to wrong person the result could be your death and the death of humanity," said Magentellia.
"Jadetia, please make sure Ryan gets home safely," said Elpha.
Ryan hesitated and looked back and forth between the God and the Goddess. "Oh yes. If you relax and think of only being in your human form then you will be regular self again. In the begging high stress will often make you change into your dominate wolf side, but with time changing into any animal will come easy to you. Go now," said Magentellia.
After Jadeita had left with Ryan Magentellia turned to Elpha. "Why didn't you tell him about the Guardian?" asked Magentellia.
"Because the new Guardian has yet to be chosen and Ryan does not need to know about it till the new Guardian has been chosen," replied Elpha.
"Why must there be a new Guardian?"
"You know as well as I do that if Sanabeth were to be killed that her Guardian would die with her. Like Sanabeth her Guardian has to chose her suitable replacement."
"Why can't we chose?" asked Magentellia.
"Because although we may have chosen her as the first Guardian it is up to her to chose a replacement. We do not have the powers here to do such a thing," said Elpha.
