Chapter 7 - The Truth Revealed.
Sniper stormed out of Respawn with rage. Pyro was pacing back and forth outside it, worry lingering in the air. "Mmfh? Mmmh mmpher?!" Scout asked.
"Yeah, just pissed at that bloody Medic and my own instincts." Sniper snapped.
"Wmmaha mmem?" He asked.
"Nothing." Sniper growled, grabbing his rifle and leaving the area. Sniper sat on the battlements, his rifle aimed at the enemy base. Snow started to drift down from the slanted roof above as it began to snow heavily.
'You shouldn't of said that to them.' His inner wolf commented.
"Why do you bloody care?! Cause of you I was sent back to Respawn!" He shouted at himself, lowering his rifle to sit on his lap.
'Because, they are important.' Sniper's rifle slid onto the ground as he sat there in slight shock.
"Whatever. I know they're my teammate."
'Lawrence..' Sniper got up and moved towards the edge while looking across at his teammates on the bridge.
"Tonight. I must tell them the truth." He said before he let go of the edge and fell to the platform below.
It was before sunset and Sniper had asked Medic to gather them all in the infirmary. They all sat in chairs in front of the cage. The clinging feeling of tension filled the air. Pyro was mumbling something to Scout while Demo sat next to Medic, clearly worried about what Sniper was going to say. Soldier was having a conversation with Heavy while Spy talked to Engineer.
"Umm you might be wondering why Medic asked you all here." Sniper nervously said, standing in front of the group. He had never been good at public speaking but he had to tell them the truth.
"Yes. We were all keen to see what you are going to reveal, bushman." Spy sneered, a cigarette in his fingertips.
"I'm a Werewolf." He stated.
"A what?" Heavy asked.
"A Verevolf!" Medic keenly replied. Demo, who was next to him, slammed his hand onto his forehead.
"Wait what? Like a wolf?" Scout piped in.
"Medic. What time is it?" Sniper asked. Medic checked his watch and motioned to the cage.
"HEY! YOU ARE NOT PUTTING OUR MEN INTO CAGES YOU SISSY GERMAN!" Soldier shouted as he tackled Medic to a ground. Arguing broke out among the group of eight minus Sniper who went to sit calming in the cage.
"Umm guys!" Scout shouted as he pointed to Sniper. Sniper began to change into the wolf once more, grunting coming from him. Fluffy brown fur burst from his skin as it changed into it's dark brown coat. A muzzle sprouted from his face and claw emerged from his hands.
Soldier screamed like a child, scrambling up a chair and climbing on Heavy who grasped his legs before he could reach any higher. Scout stood still shock while Spy looked like he had peed himself. "Medic must explain before teammates panic." Heavy stated.
"Ja, Ja. I know. Vell, a couple days ago Herr Sniper was asked by Demo if he vanted to get rid of his nightmares. Demoman vas drunk vhen he proceeded vith the spell and it backfired causing Sniper to become cursed to be a verevold at night." Medic explained.
"Aye, Doc. Let em outta the cage before he get angry." Demo commented.
"Oh Ja." Medic replied before unlocking the cage. Sniper bounded out of the cage and sniffed the air. His eyes rested on Pyro. He walked up to Pyro before nuzzling the masked person and allowing them to scratch him behind the ear. They sat on the ground with their legs crossed, letting Sniper lay in their lap like a puppy would. Scout snickered before Soldier whacked him on the back of his head.
"Well, I'll be. Sniper 'as something for the Lil' Firebug there." Engineer chuckled, leaving the room.
"Ach! Soldier! Your turn to cook!" Demo shouted.
Sniper woke up at dawn, still lying in Pyro's lap. The Pyromaniac was slumped to the side, their head resting on a wooden chair. Sniper uncurled himself and walked over to the bathroom, the white tiles feeling icy under his bare feet. With a yawn he opened the door and sat down, beginning to put on his clothes.
'So.. ' The voice in his head said.
"So what?"
'Pyro is quite interesting.'
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Sniper muttered while putting his shirt on.
'Pyro isn't what you think.'
"He's fine. Just a friend I assure you."
'Nope. Think opposite, Lawrence.'
"She is more than a friend?" He questioned. "Wait that would mean!? Shit."
'Yep.'
"GOD WHY DIDN'T I SEE IT SOONER?!" Sniper shouted as he slammed his fist into the mirror.
