A/N: Just a story I'm putting together, mostly for my own amusement.
CHAPTER 2 || Werewolves indeed walk amongst us Tyler
Tyler POV
As I woke up I quickly threw on some clothes and went down stairs to see if anyone was up yet. It was seven in the morning but most around here were early birds. Mason said that I should get some rest and that he had some things to explain to me. I was dreading the conversation because that would make the whole situation real and I don't know if that's really what I wanted to be thinking right now. Of course I had to get it out of the way and I can't say I wasn't a little curious.
I walked into the kitchen and found Mason sitting on the counter eating an apple. At first it appeared he didn't notice me enter but then without turning around he spoke.
"You're up early." He mentioned
"As usual." I replied
"I just thought you'd need to rest after last night's events." He said as he jumped down and faced me
"Never let life hold you down Uncle Mason." I said while opening the cupboard to grab a bowl
"Not much can hold you down now." He said with a sigh as I walked towards the counter
"Care to explain?" I asked as I poured some cereal into the bowl
"Let's begin with what you're capable of now." He said, "Werewolves are stronger and faster than humans."
"So by how much exactly?"
"Much." He said before remaining silent for a moment
"We have heightened senses, mostly our sense of smell and hearing. We also heal fast, really fast." He said
"What else?" I asked
"That's practically all the good stuff. So now you need to know the rest." He said
"How bad exactly?" I asked
"On a scale of one to ten. I'd say about an eight." He said, "Werewolves change on full moons. While shifted we have no control, we attack the closest and the more satisfying meal. In order to prevent that we need to chain ourselves up, and I mean really chain ourselves, locked rooms and all."
"The first shift is always the longest. Overtime it gets faster and faster. It is very painful, the most painful thing you'll ever feel Tyler. I'm sorry but it's going to hurt, and it's going to go on for hours." He looked at me with sympathy
"So you're saying I'm a blood crazed lunatic whenever the full moon drops by, and I'll feel the most excruciating pain before I run off and eat someone?"
"Pretty much yeah."
"Sounds super. Anything else I should know?" I asked
He looked away for a moment as he not so subtly tried to hide his expression.
"What is it Mason?" I asked
"I don't know if I should tell you." He replied
"Werewolves walk amongst us and we both happen to be some. What is it that you can't tell me?" I asked
"Werewolves indeed walk amongst us Tyler. In fact several in this town, three of which you share a hallway with every weekday."
I stared at him for a moment. Was he trying to say that there were other werewolves that went to my school? But those that mean…
"Does that mean they've all caused death?" I asked
"No, not all werewolves are the same. Some don't need to trigger the curse. It's just born into them. It turns out to be a maturity thing for others. Another thing is that not all werewolves look the same when shifted. Our family, we change into actual wolves, but some are uglier, more beastly, and scary looking."
"Caroline … Is Caroline a werewolf?" I asked
"What? The Forbes family isn't werewolves." He said pretty quickly
"Are you sure Mason?"
"Yes Tyler, why would you think that?" He asked
"Caroline knew. She knew about me, after Sarah died she tried calming down." I said
"What exactly did she say?" He asked
"She asked me if my wound had healed yet." I replied
"Tyler I can guarantee they aren't werewolves, you were probably in shock and misunderstood her words."
Oh yeah shock, as if Mason didn't realize that I knew when he was lying to me. The guy wasn't good at hiding his thoughts. But I knew he wouldn't budge on it so I decided to change the subject anyway.
"Well then who are the three that go to my school who are werewolves?" I asked
"Well I can't be sure if they have shifted yet, but I know who they are. Jimmy Myers, Jason McCardy, and Ginger and Bridgett Fitzgerald."
"Is that it?" I asked trying to fit each of them into my head, needlessly to say I barely knew any of them
"I believe so. If there is any more then I don't know of them." He replied as he looked at the clock which brought my eyes with his
"I should start getting ready for school." I said as I got up
"Are you okay Tyler? You sure you can handle school today." He asked
"I'm fine." I simply said
A/N: GOD I'M SO TERRIBLE! I'm sorry I always set out to write long chapters and then it just turns out as a short scene or two. I miss the days where I forced myself to think for hours until I had a minimum of 5,000 words per chapter. If I had my writing skills which I have now mixed with that patience, man would I be unstoppable. But anyway I promise the next chapter will be a minimum of three scenes and 1,500 words, a maximum of infinite each. Oh and yes the other characters are coming, I'm just setting up for them slowly.
