Chapter Two
When I awoke I was face down my body felt exhausted my muscles were so sore that I couldn't stand. I managed to pull myself up somehow and used the wall as a crutch to walk through my place of capture. I noticed bloody paw prints leading to the small corner I had awoke in but they disappeared at where I layed. I looked down too see my hands covered in blood. As I pressed on the smell of death filled my nose. I kept walking down a long hall way of cells bodies of men all over the floor they all looked liked they had been clawed at by an animal. Claw marks across their arms, throats ripped out it wasn't pretty. I stumbled in the room where they had tried to record me a camcorder lay in the dead hand of a man whose face was covered. I reached down and took it from his hand. I grabbed a stool that lay on the ground and sat on it to observe the video. I forwarded through about an hour of video before I found a clip of men running down the cell hallway the men yelled and I could see the camera focus on a man from behind the cell growling like a beast. I noticed that it was myself. I could see myself fall into a dark corner screaming but before it got to loud one of the men tried to knock me over the head with his rifle to his surprise I didn't fall to the ground. Instead my clawed hand pulled him closer before I ripped his throat out. The men screamed and began to open fire and in the small room began to fill with dust from the debris. The men stopped firing and the room quieted except for the sounds of their whispers. One of the men stepped into the dust filled cell to see if they manage to finish me off. But a growl came before the sound of the man screaming followed by silence. From the dust glowed two red eyes that sprinted out from the dust cloud out of the cell and began attacking the men guns fired and screams filmed the video. The man filming fell to the ground still recording, fear filled in his voice as he said his last words from the darkness stepped out a large black wolf with red eyes and a mouths full of sharp fangs. It pounced on the man but from the video all that could be heard was a blood filled scream followed by silence. I dropped to my knees as the video cut out. I was that beast that tore these men apart. I sat their wanting to figure out what happened to me but I remembered I had no idea where I was taken to by my capturers. I took a deep breath and took out the SD card of the camera. I found the cell where the captains body lay. Tears filled my as the night before images filled my head. I wanted to take her corpse riddled with the bullets that were meant for me. Her corpse was so badly damaged you could not see the claw marks I was forced to leave on her anymore. I searched the corpses for anything useful and grabbed what clothes weren't shredded or cover in blood. After I changed I wrapped the captains corpse wrapped in and old blanket I found and carried it to the exit from our small prison. From the outside it was a small stone building that was in an abandoned town surrounded by desert. Using some old fuel I found torched the small building wanting to rid all evidence. In my hand held the small sd card with from the camera I swallowed it for safe keeping. All around me was desert for miles I took a deep breath and began walking. Two days went by without a sign of anyone or anything When by some miracle a helicopter flew over me. I signaled it to land and out came men a rescue squad. I was in and out of consciousness but when I finally awoke I was in a hospital bed. A military doctor walked in and informed me that I was found by a search party looking for myself and the captain. They brought me back to base and took care of the captains remains. I tried to get out of bed but was advised not to as the base commander had questions for me. I told him a story of how the captain and I were caught and we broke free but she died in the struggle satisfied with my word he shook my hand and left thanking me. I was ashamed to have lied about it but I didn't want to be locked up inside some cage like an animal. After a few days in bed I healed faster than most would. In a little under a month I was headed back to the states. I noticed over the weeks that I was different. My senses were out of control I could hear and smell everything. My eyes could focus on things far away and I could see in the dark clear as day. I was stronger and faster every move I made had to be with precision. When I got back to base looking for answers on what I was going through. But what I came across was mostly stories. The night of the full moon I felt so easily angered. Out of fear of hurting anyone I drove to a nearby forest preserve that night and blacked out again. But this change was different I could feel myself as a wolf running through the woods as scary as it was I felt the rush of power over me. In wolf form I came upon a small pond where the moon reflected brightly. What happened next brought me to sadness. White wolf appeared in the distance and slowly shifted into a woman but I knew this woman and it was Captain Shado Lunes. She approached me and ran her soft hand over my wolf face , I could hear myself whine. She smiled and spoke. "I know you have a lot of questions but know what I did was to save you, No I am not alive but this is just to help you". "I was a werewolf an alpha to be exact I had always intended to make you my beta but when the time was right, but after we crashed and I took all that damage I thought it was best to give you a fighting chance". "Zero you are now an Alpha werewolf you became that when I forced you to kill me, your life is going to change but you can handle the strength and responsibility that comes with this gift, I left you enough of my memories for you to learn how to control this gift use it wisely and make me proud" She leaned in and kissed my head before disappearing. In the morning I returned home to find a delivery in my mailbox. Inside a letter from Captain Lunes family. I held back tears as I read the letter they thanked me for returning their daughter home and how she talked about me like a younger brother. I closed the letter and went up to my room and began packing. I decided it was best for me to move back to Chicago. After my traumatic event none of my higher ups fought me on leaving and my paperwork was through in a week. I returned to Chicago and found myself a decent apartment and spent the following weeks learning the extent of my gift. Through Shado's memory transfer. I learned that as an alpha werewolf I was strong and would grow stronger with a pack of my own. I healed faster and could take pain from others. I could envoke my will over my own pack and some weaker creatures. But on the full moon I found myself still losing control over my wolf form. As much as a gift as this was I didn't want to force this on anyone else so I never searched for a pack. But above all I didn't want to let that monster inside of out and I needed a solution.
