Freddie's POV
"I'm Sam Puckett. What about you?"
I paused. No. Freaking. Way.
"Hello! I'm talking to you!" Sam said in my face. I struggled to come up with a fake name.
"I'm uh, Ben. Ben Ston."
"Ben Ston? What the heck kinda name is that?" Sam scoffed.
"It's MY name thank you very much." I said hotly. Sam snorted and turned around, leaving me alone.
"I'll see you tomorrow night at eight. Don't miss it… Not that you can of course." She laughed and melted into the shadows. What did she mean not that I can? I soon found out that you can't change back into a human for some time. To make it worse, it was absolutely pouring outside. My fur was soaked and I only had a box to keep my head dry.
The next night, I walked back to the alley where I met Sam. She was waiting for me, chewing on a rib bone with her enormous teeth.
"Sam?" She paused, looked at me, and kept chewing.
"Hey nub." She said through bites. After a while, she finally stood up and stretched. "Follow me." She started to run out onto the streets with me right behind her. It was amazing how fast I could run. My muscles never ached or fatigued. I could run forever if I wanted too. We stopped at a forest right outside the city. Sam's ears flattened against her head.
"Something wrong-?"
"SH!" Sam growled. She took another silent step into the forest. There was a growl somewhere close. A reddish brown wolf came walking out of the woods with his teeth bared.
"Austin." Sam said calmly.
"What are you doing here? And with THIS!" he snarled.
"I'm just here to teach the newbie how to kill and howl." Sam replied. Austin studied me closely and snorted.
"You're meat." He growled in my ear. He walked back into the forest.
"Well, that went better than expected." Sam chirped brightly, "Follow me." She strode into the forest and stopped at a big cliff. She walked to the end and put one for forward, leaning her weight on her back paws. She lifted her head and howled a long, mournful sound that made my heart race. After the howling lesson, Sam taught me how to fight. We wrestled and snapped at each other, laughing our heads off. When we started back for Seattle, we talked about our friends and family (mine being fake of course.) I stopped walking.
"You're doing it again." I said with a smirk.
"What?"
"Staring at me."
"Sorry," Sam said, obviously embarrassed, "Something about you is very familiar. Are you sure we haven't met before?"
"Not since yesterday."
"It's weird because when I look at your face I can see-" Sam was cut off by a scream for help. "Okay, I'll take this one. Try and change back into a human while I'm gone." Sam ran off, leaving me alone… Again. Okay, think human. Think human. I felt myself shrinking. My teeth shortened, my fur disappeared, and my hair changed back into the deep brown it usually is. I opened my eyes to see that I was human again… but totally naked. I looked under the dumpster to see a pile of clothes with a note on them. I quickly changed and read the note from Sam.
Ben,
I stole these clothes from my friend Freddie. I hope they fit. He is a bit more muscular than I think you are in human form.
Sam
I smiled despite the fact that Sam stole my favorite shirt and pants. I walked inside our building and into my apartment where my mom was crying hysterically.
"Mom?" her head snapped up to my face.
"OH FREDDIEBEAR! I WAS SO WORRIED THAT THE GIANT WOLF HAD EATEN YOU!" she screamed, hugging me. I felt my ribs groan under the hug. I finally broke free and rubbed my side.
"I'm fine mom. Honest." I wheezed. I quickly ran out of the apartment and into Carly's where I was met by another bone-crushing hug.
"Oh my God Freddie!" Carly yelled, "Your mom said a wolf ate you! But you're okay!" I could literally hear my bones crack.
"Carly! CARLY!" I yelped. She let go and smiled sheepishly. She looked absolutely exhausted. Her eyes were red and she had very dark circles under her eyes.
"Carly are you okay? You look like someone threw a bomb on you." I said.
"Thanks Freddie," she said sarcastically, "Girls LOVE hearing that."
"Sorry! I didn't mean-"
"It's okay. I know I look horrible."
"What's wrong?"
"I've been feeling really off color lately. Must be flu season or something." She yawned.
"Carly, flu season is in December. It's October."
"Oh, well must be something else then." She said cheerfully. She winced in pain.
"What hurts?" I said like a doctor.
"Just my arms in legs. They feel like they're trying to grow six feet larger."
Oh no.
