Werewolves
Rachel POV
Chapter 4: Second Full Moon
We were all in Cassie's barn. It's been a month since my first full moon and tonight I was going to change again. "We have to act tonight." Marco sad. There was the problem. Both Jake and I were going to change tonight and we had an important mission.
"No," Jake says. "We'll do this tomorrow, at noon. It would be better then." Truthfully it would be better to attack the new Yeerk weapon tonight, but Jake and me couldn't.
"I agree with Jake." I told them. Everyone looked my way. Three of Ax's eyes were sharing at me. So my comment was a little out of character. Is it that big of a deal?
Another minute past before anyone said anything. "Let's vote." That was Marco. "Who's for going tonight." Everyone but Jake and me voted to go tonight. "You're out voted."
I stand up. "You'll have to go without Jake and me then." I walk to the barn door. Jake gets up and follows me out leaving the rest of the Animorphs wide eyes. We walked to my house without a word between us. "I'll see you tonight Jake."
"Yep, tonight," Jake said and walked away.
-AM-
That night Jake and me were in a little clearing I had found while flying with Tobias. I figured it was a good place to transform. "Um…" I said and went behind a tree to take off my cloths. Jake clearly got the idea.
The sun was just about down and I could feel the wolf. I had been able to feel it all day. It was waiting. Wanting to be free. The feeling got stronger all day. I knew Jake didn't feel anything more then a little weirdness. Tomorrow just before the full moon he would be able to feel the wolf.
The moon started to come up. Even before I could see the light I knew it. I heard Jake's scream out in pain and I must of scream too. The two of us both went to howl at the moon. The last few times that was the last thing I remembered but his time I heard a voice saying "What is…" then everything went blank.
-AM-
I opened my eyes and was confused for a minute. Then I remembered about the transformation. The werewolf was still there. But it was weak right now. I could hardly feel it.
I morphed wolf. That got the inner werewolf interested. I wondered if one day I would be able to remember what the werewolf did, but then I realized I didn't want to know. Using the wolf I quickie found the clearing. Jake's cloths were against a tree and mine were behind the tree I had changed at.
I went there, but couldn't help but notice a weird smell. The wolf realized what it was before I did. It was blood. I picked up my cloths with my mouth and ran to where the blood smell was coming from.
It didn't take me long to find it. There were five human male teenagers. They were about 2 or 3 years older then me. I had seen them around, but never really knew them. There were bear bottle. A few of them empty other the bottle was broken and the beer was all over the place. The boys themselves weren't really all there. The bones were there and bitten off. Most of the meat was gone and I realized it was probably in Jake's stomach and mine.
Then I remembered hearing someone voice before the werewolf fully took over. 'Oh god,' I thought and another wolf joined me. It was Jake. He was looking at the bodies too and his cloths were in his mouth. (We didn't?) He asked me in thought speech.
(I think we did) I answered. We were both horrified. We ran as fast as our wolf legs would carry us. We demorphed far away from the bodies and got dressed quickie. Then we continued to run.
We weren't going to get back in time to go to school. It didn't matter the chee would go for us. We ran until we were got of breath and couldn't run anymore. We sat down in the dirt and looked at each other.
We were use to killing. We killed controllers all the time. There was a difference though. Those boys weren't controllers. We knew because controllers don't drink or smoke or do any of that stuff. For the good name of the Sharing, the yeerks front to get willing human hosts. Also it wasn't us that killed them it was a beast we couldn't control.
"What do we do?" Jake asked the question. It would usually be us asking him, but I knew he was more scared then I. I could deal with killing better then the others.
"Nothing," I told him. We stopped talking and a few minutes later we heard something coming.
We were both ready for a wild animal, but Ax came out from behind the tree. (Prince Jake, Rachel.)
"Don't call me Prince Jake."
(Yes Prince Jake.) Right now I knew Jake wasn't joking around about not wanting to be called prince. Well he never wants to be called prince, but usually he just jokes with Ax. Right now I knew he didn't feel like a leader.
"How did the mission go," I asked?
(We decided to wait until today. Marco called the chee and told them to cover for you at school.) Jake looked at me and I looked back at him we wondered if the chee told Marco about us having them cover for us over night.
"Okay, where are we meeting?" It was dangerous to meet at the barn when we were supposed to be at school because of Cassie's dad.
(At a clearing Tobias said you two found while flying.)
'Damn it,' I thought but out loud I said, "Sure thing, I remember. See you later Ax. I have to go home and get my morphing outfit."
"Me too," Jake said. We both jumped up and ran as fast as we could. We went separate ways to get to our own homes and I climbed in through my window. I put on my morphing outfit and morphed to my bird of prey morph. I had to fly.
AN: tell me what you think. R&R.
