Wolf Kid
Chapter 9: Wolf Shawn and his new ability
AN: Thank you Ulyferal for been my beta.
"(Yawn)…what happened?" Shawn groaned aloud, when he finally woke up, pushing himself into a seated position and scratching himself. He looked around and noticed he was in a cell that had a rubber floor, sink and toilet...and sleeping next to him was Dania...WAIT!...WHAT?" He gasped to himself in shock, 'how did I get here?'
Then he remembered...meeting that creepy dude wearing the turtle helmet, being dragged off then escaping only to end up hiding in that machine...big mistake that because it had knocked him out. He sighed. Obviously they dragged his ass out of the machine and put him where they'd intended to in the first place...with Dania.
Well, at least they were together again. He stood up quietly, so as not to wake her, and went over to the cell door to look out but there was nothing to see but an empty corridor beyond. By the silence, it seemed they were the only ones here.
He sighed, pressing his head to the bars, hands gripping them on either side of his head. "Well this is just great….I'm locked like an animal in a cage and being held hostage by a mad man. What else could go wrong?" He muttered to himself.
He heard a yawn from behind him and turned to find his girlfriend waking up. "Hey! Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.
"(Yawn)…um yeah," she muttered, rubbing her eyes. When she stopped rubbing and looked up at Shawn from the floor, her eyes widened and she screamed in terror. Scrambling to her feet, she backed up until she was flat against the opposite wall from him.
"Who and what the hell are you and where is Shawn?" She screamed.
Shawn blinked in stunned confusion. "What do you mean who am I...I'm Shawn...is something wrong with you?" He asked, worried Parvo had done something to her.
"You're not Shawn!" She continued to scream and try to find away out of the cell, staring at him in terror.
Even more worried about her state of mind, Shawn moved carefully across the room to try and find a way to comfort her but she wasn't having any of it.
"Stay back I'm warning you," she said breathlessly, holding a hand out to ward off the approaching person.
Ignoring her warning, Shawn continued to approach, reaching carefully out with his hand and saying soothing words to her, "Dania calm down it's going...…" he never got to finish what he intended to say as she lashed out with a foot and smacked him hard in the privates.
Shawn wailed in agony as he dropped to the floor and curled up. "Owwwww...shit!" (*-* Ouch!)
Still frightened, Dania prepared to kick the wolf again, when Shawn pleaded, "no, Dania, please no..." he moaned pitifully.
It was then that Dania actually heard the thing's voice. She blinked in shock and knelt down, touching the thing cautiously. "Shawn?" She asked hesitantly.
"Yesss" he said through clenched teeth.
Horrified anew, Dania stared at her boyfriend in disbelief. "Shawn! Oh, I'm so sorry. How did this happen to you?" She asked anxiously.
"You kicked me...what do you mean what happened...?" He moaned, wondering what the hell they'd done to her.
"No, I don't mean that!" Dania said shaking her head. "I mean what happened to your body?"
He blinked up at her in confusion. His privates weren't so agonizing now but they still hurt. "What are you talking about?"
"You don't' look like yourself which is why I freaked out! If you don't believe me, go look in that mirror..." She said. He still looked at her like she was out of her mind. She huffed in annoyance. "For goodness sake, look down and see for yourself.
Still leery of her, Shawn did as she asked and gaped. His hands! What had happened to his hands and feet! He stared at his barefeet. Both appendages were furry not human and his clothes were ripped up.
Scrambling with some difficulty (well it did still hurt) to reach the mirror over the sink. What he saw there made him scream in shock. Before his eyes was a wolf! What the hell happened to me?" He cried out in disbelief.
Swallowing, he slowly looked himself over carefully. His clothes had the look of something that had burst their way out of them. At least there was enough of them to make him not be completely naked...that would have too embarrassing. However, since he was completely covered in white fur, perhaps that wouldn't matter...uh...except his privates might be much bigger...okay don't go there...his mind was gibbering at him as he studied his image in the mirror.
He had a wolf's face but he had hair on the top of his head which, though white like his fur, had a black forelock hanging down nearly in his face and what was equally strange was his brilliant blue eyes staring out at him. 'He was a werewolf! Or...wait...maybe he was like his parents...except instead of a dog, he was a wolf...oh this was just too much to take,' he thought shakily, turning away from the mirror, he felt something behind him and stared down. 'Hello!...I have a tail?' His shock held him frozen, his was panting with shock and fear when a gentle touch to his shoulder snapped him out of it.
Dania stood there with a worried look on her face, "Shawn, what happened to you?"
"I…I don't know," he said lowering his ears, he was confused and sad by this.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
"Sigh…I'm fine…let's just find a way to get out of here," he growled, unhappily.
Dania felt bad for him but didn't say anything more as the two of them went to the cell bars to look around. Shawn studied their surrounding more closely then began testing the cell door. Dania was confused by what he was doing and was about to say something when Shawn hit a particular part of the door and it simply opened with ease.
Diana was surprised. "How did you do that?" she asked.
Shawn smiled, which looked really odd on that lupine face as he answered, "Well, I was arrested a lot for awhile there and spent time behind bars. Being bored, I learned a few things while in there...ahh good times..."
"Oh...well...whatever...glad the experience has paid off," she said, shaking her head.
He opened stepped out of the cell first with Dania staying close behind him. He used his now sharper hearing to listen for anyone coming as they walked hurriedly down the corridor. They arrived where the corridor had split in two directions.
"We should head left," Dania suggested, but Shawn nixed the idea.
"No, we should head right because I can hear and smell dogs and humans to the left so…" he was interrupted by Diana.
"Smell…hear, okay you are a wolf but you can't hear or smell things from far away."
Shawn just sighed. "how do you think we didn't get caught…because I can hear and smell things from a distance...yes, my senses are that good," he said.
'Yeah right like I'm supposed to believe that,' she thought to herself.
Shawn heard her comment and was hurt by it and was going to chew her out when he realized she hadn't spoken aloud. He blinked at that and said out loud, "what the hell?"
"What's wrong?" She asked looking around, thinking he'd seen something.
"I just heard you say, 'yeah right, I'm supposed to believe that,' but you didn't move your lips," he said, thinking it sounded even stranger saying that aloud.
Her eyes widened and she gaped at him. "I-I did say that in my mind...how did you do that?"
"I don't know. Here let's test it...say something else to me form your mind."
'Okay, this is just too weird,' she thought as she tried to think what to say to him.
"I heard you!" He said excitedly. She blinked at him in surprise. "I heard you say, 'okay, this is too weird!"
"OMG! That is soo creepy, but how are you able to do that?"
"I don't know...but I like it!" He said, grinning.
"I don't!"
"Why?"
"Because, I don't have any privacy in my head from you!" She huffed.
"Well, gee, I guess I can understand how that might not be welcome but, wait...maybe I can only read your surface thoughts but not your inner ones. Let me try and see," he said, trying to soothe her.
She eyed him a moment then nodded. "Okay, do it. We need to know at least."
Shawn nodded then stared at her for some moments but other than hearing her present thoughts about how strange this was and wondering if they could escape, he could hear none of her inner more secret thoughts at all. He sighed in relief.
"I can't read anything but your surface thoughts!"
"Well, that's a relief. Perhaps, this will be a good thing but we better leave this for another time. Right now we need to get out of here," she said, worriedly
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go!" He led the way down the hall he'd chosen.
They came upon some henchmen along the way but they were inside rooms and didn't see or hear the two slipping past them. They were making progress when a large bang occurred from nearby and the ground shook beneath them, knocking them off their feet.
"What was that?" Dania said, getting back on her feet quickly.
"I don't know but it came from behind that door…let's check it out," he said, reaching cautiously to open the door a little ways so he could peer inside first.

Elsewhere, at that same moment, the Road Rovers had blown a hole in the ceiling of the main building and were confronting Parvo and his minions.
The Road Rovers and Dania's parents hadn't been aware the two kids had been kidnapped until they received the threatening phone call from Parvo. The Johnson's pleaded with the Rovers to rescue their daughter. They promised to do so then ran out of the house to their jet.
Using the coordinates of the call, the Rovers located Parvo's hideout. Now they stood before the creep demanding the return of their son and the girl.
"Well, so you found us...but it won't do you any good. If you want your son to remain alive, you'll just turn around and leave. And no interference in my plans or he is as good as dead," Parvo told them, jeeringly.
"Exile paid no attention to what Parvo was saying as he demanded, "Where is he?"
Parvo just snorted and said, smirking, "he and his girlfriend are safe and unharmed...for now."
"If you hurt him you're going to pay," Hunter snarled.
Shawn and Dania had slipped into the room rather easily since everyone else was distracted by the Road Rovers arrival. They'd found a safe place to hide behind some barrels and watched the drama unfold.
"Shawn, we've got to do something. We can't just let the Rovers surrender and leave thinking we're still prisoners," she hissed, urgently.
"I know but how do we do that without getting ourselves caught by all those minions between us and the Rovers?" He whispered back.
Suddenly, from behind them, they heard a growling sound. Carefully turning their heads, they saw two dog henchmen standing there, holding guns on them.
AN: Uh Oh! Caught again!. What will happen to everyone now? Find out next time and please review!
