Unknown Animal

Chapter 7: Grandma's secret

Two weeks have past and Wallabee was spending a week over at his Grandma in Kansas. Wallabee was sitting in a swing bench that was hanging on the porch. He held his guitar in his arms, but wasn't playing any songs, just pulling the strings.

"Wally? Could you help me for a minute." Wally sighed and walked inside. "Could you help your grandma with cleaning out the attic?" Asked Wally's grandma.

"Okay." Said Wally and went with his grandma upstairs to the attic.

"You'll do that corner and I'll do this one."

Wally nodded and started to take away stuff. Wally pulled some white sheets off and saw a box standing in front of him. "KND?" said Wally confused. "What does that stands for?"

When Wally opened the box, he saw all stuff they used at KND, but their stuff where more improved. Wally took out a weapon that looked like the S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. He looked further in it and then took out a picture. It was a black and white one with five boys on it.

"So, you have found my Kids Next Door box." Wally jumped when he heard the voice and turned around.

"You where in Kids Next Door?"

Wally's grandma just smiled. "Yes I was, that's me." She said pointing at a kid in the middle.

Wally stared. "That was you? You looked like a boy!"

"Well in my time, if any girls wanted to join Kids next door, we had to act, talk and look like a boy." Explained grandma.

Wally nodded. "But, shouldn't you have been decommissioned or something?"

Grandma shook her head. "We didn't have any things like that before. When we where thirteen years old, we had to sign a paper that says we wouldn't mention anything about KND or even help young operatives with their mission."

"Oh." Said Wally.

In a few hours, the attic was cleaned. Wally sighed, before whipping off his sweat on his head. "Come on, let's go down stairs and drink something." Said his grandma.

Wally nodded and went downstairs. While walking on the stairway, Wally kept scratching his arms. He has been doing that since yesterday. Wally didn't know what's wrong, but he felt itchy over his whole body.

Grandma looked suspicious as she saw Wally scratching himself. 'I wonder…' she thought.

When they were downstairs, Grandma gave Wally some cola. "Thanks." Smiled Wally and drank of it.

"Wally, could you hold this for me please? This one is dirty." asked Grandma, giving him a spoon.

Without thinking twice what his Grandma said, Wally took the spoon, but dropped it immediately and held his right hand. In his hand was a burn mark of the spoon. "Why the crud did you do that for?"

"Do what?"

"Heat the spoon up!"

"I didn't do anything." Said Grandma as she picked it up like it wasn't even hot at all.

"But…"

"It's a silver spoon, Wallabee."

'Oh crud!' thought Wally as he recalled werewolves burn themselves on silver.

Grandma smiled. "I know what you are, Wally."

Wally swallowed and looked scared at his Grandma. "Y-y-you're not going to hand over me to KND, aren't you?"

Grandma laughed. "Of course not! You are my grandson! Besides I bet they will decommission me when I do and that's something I don't want to do. I really want to keep the memories of my childhood even when I don't remember all of it anymore."

Wally sighed in relief. "Then how did you know?"

"Well, that's easy." Said Grandma. "One of the operatives was once bitten by a werewolf. We've looked for a cure, but there wasn't any. But we found out what was going to happen to him."

Grandma took out a old book from a closet and opened it. "When the person is bitten by a werewolf, some stuff will change in his habits. Like eating his meat first then the rest, his hearing and sent is better, can see very good even when it's dark and like you they scratch themselves."

"Okay, I understand those things, but what has the scratching have to do with it?"

"When a adult is bitten by a werewolf, the next month they will scratch themselves from the itchy feeling they have, until the next full moon. When it's a full moon, in those three nights they will lose some fur as the curse will become complete. Now, this operative who was bitten, as you know was a child. It was five months later when he started to have the same semitones as you have now."

"Okay…But what has it to do with those cruddy weredogs."

Grandma started to cough as she choke on her coffee. "Weredogs? Have you meet them?"

"Yeah, I've fought with them."

"Wallabee, you better watch out for those dogs." Said Grandma worried. "Better thought, stay away from them!"

"How can I stay away from those dogs when they are the ones who always look for me?"

Grandma stared at Wally. "Oh god…" she whispers.

"What is it, grandma?"

Grandma sighed. "You know the dogs ancestor is a wolf right?"

Wally nodded.

"Well, like the weredogs, their ancestor are werewolves. But because they find the superior then the werewolves, their purpose is to chaise away all the werewolves, well at least in Sector V and Sector U."

"What if they don't leave?"

Grandma sighed and looked away. "They would murder them."

Wally swallowed and looked at his grandma. "That's what happened to the operative who was bitten. He was my friend Wallabee. He was the only one who knew I was a girl and I could trust more then with the others of my team."

Wally nodded. "But why are they after me now? I mean they could take me out a few months ago."

"They must have found out that you will be at full strength in a few days and strong enough to take down the Queen."

"Wait a sec, weredog Queen? But me and my friend already defeated her! Well, mostly cured her."

"What did you do?"

"We pulled the neckles who her ex gave her off."

"You've only freed the weredog in her. The neckles she had some power but not that much."Said grandma.

"Oh…."

"What is the name of this weredog Queen?"

"Mrs. Thompson. She's my teacher."

Grandma nodded. "Then she's the grandchild of the weredog I've once fought."

"How did you defeat her then?" asked Wally curious.

"We chaised her away."

Wally and his grandma talked a bit about werewolves and weredogs before it was time to go to bed.

oOoOoOo

Wallabee was laying awake on his bed staring at the ceiling. Wally was thinking about what his grandma had told him and about what Nigel had said. Suddenly a paper plane flew into his room as his window stood open.

Wally grabbed it. 'To Numbuh Four.' Said it on the plane. Wally fold it open and saw Kuki had written it.

'Meet us at the back of the corn feeld. Numbuh Three.' Wally stared at it and was thinking about it. After doubting for a while, Wally stood up and walked straight into the corn field.

In a few minutes, Wally was at the back of the corn field. Suddenly some lights blinded him. "Numbuh Two would you just turn the lights off!" yelled Kuki angry at Hoagie.

"Sorry." Said Hoagie as he switched the head lights off and switched the mist lights on.

Wally started to walk back when he saw them holding some weapons. "Guys look, my parents made me to come here! I never mean to leave sector V!"

"Oh relax Wally!" said Kuki on a Kuki tone way. "We know that too silly!"

"We just want to talk." Said Hoagie putting the gun away.

"Then what are the guns for?"

"You never know what comes out of that corn field."

"You've read too much Goosebumps."

"Did not and we're here because our homework keep disappearing when you weren't around and the tree house was trashed again two days ago."

"Yeah and Numbuh Five keep acting stranger and stranger by the day."

"Okay, but what do I have to do with it?"

"We know that you're guilty, Numbuh Four." Said Hoagie as he walked to Wally. "We know someone else is behind this and not you. We're sorry we didn't believe you. But you need to come back to the tree house."

"What?" yelled Wally. "Have you lost it? If I put one foot in the tree house, Numbuh One would make sure I will get decommissioned! And probably would be handed over to those lab nerds who will poke me with all kind of stuff!"

"I wouldn't be so sure of it, Numbuh Four." Said a voice from the plane.

Wally looked in horror when he saw Numbuh One stepping out of the plane with a gun in his hand.

"N-Numbuh One."

oOoOoOo

Finally! A update! I'm very sorry for letting you guys wait so long, but work is asking much energy and most of the time I just don't feel to write.
