The Crossroads of Merlin
Chapter 9: Full Moon
Harry pulled up outside the Mystic Grill while Tyler went inside to get Caroline. He came back with her and she got in the back of his car.
"Hey Caroline." Harry smirked, knowing that she was uncomfortable. He was right and she scowled at him. "Listen we got off on the wrong foot the other day, let's start anew." He said as he pulled off of the main road and onto a dirt trail leading toward the old ruins of the former Lockwood ancestral home.
"Fine." She muttered crossing her arms. The rest of the ride was filled with a tense and awkward silence as they silently made their way to the cellar, equipment in hand.
Harry immediately removed the chains and his own bolts, bolting them down and making sure that they were tight.
"Tell me you brought the instruction manual." Caroline directed at the two wolves.
Tyler: Tell me you brought the wolfsbane." Tyler stated in return, looking up from his place next to Harry as he pulled at the chains.
"Yes. Not an easy herb to find." Caroline sighed and pulled out a sprig before walking over to them. "This is it."
She gave him it and he touched it at the same time Harry shook his head, saying that it burns. Tyler yelped and drew back, breathing heavily.
"A quicker warning would've been appreciated." Tyler growled. Harry sniggered heartedly.
"Here." Harry chuckled, tossing a waterbottle to Caroline who caught it. "Mix it please?" He asked and Caroline set to work.
"The guy at the hardware store said this set-up could hold up to 5,000 pounds and then some." He informed them, mostly Harry.
"Is that more than a werewolf can pull?" Harry looked thoughful.
"I don't know, I mean until he transforms he could be an Alpha, a Beta or something else along those lines." Harry shrugged. "Alpha's can pull up to ten thousand pounds."
"Well that sucks." Tyler muttered.
Silence. Absolutely nothing was heard besides the rattling of the chains and the water being mixed.
"Hey Tyler, how are you doing?" Caroline asked looking down.
"Still human." He said, removing his shirt and turning to face Harry who immediately clamped the chains on his arms, neck and legs, while two thick chains were around his waist.
Caroline looked up and gasped, staring at his abs and pecs. "Oh my god, you're not gonna get naked, are you?" She demanded.
"It's elastic. What should I wear? I don't think it's like The Hulk, where I get to keep my pants." Tyler said it as if it were obvious.
"Why, do you want him naked, Love?" Harry asked smirking. Caroline blushed and looked away.
"Shut up." She muttered. Harry laughed, shooting Tyler a wink.
They'd been down in the cellar of the old Lockwood property for some time now and Harry was too shirtless, wearing elastic shorts like Tyler, however he was without the comfort of the chains. Tyler was attempting to pace but the chains were firm.
"What time is it?" Tyler asked suddenly.
Caroline shrugged as did Harry before the vampire withdrew her phone.
"Almost 8. What time does the moon crest or whatever?" She asked after a beat.
"Not for a while." Harry said for Tyler. "First transformations are always like this." Harry informed them. "You just want it to happen, so that you can get it over a done with."
Tyler said nothing. "Mason's journal said the first transformation can happen before the moon hits its apex." He told them distractedly.
"How long will you actually be a wolf?" Caroline asked curiously.
"For a few hours." Harry said, shifting slightly. "Maybe more, maybe less. It's hard to calculate properly."
Tyler moves slightly to retrieve the bottle of mixed wolfsbane but the chains held firm and he couldn't move. Caroline smiled gently and stood, placing the bottle in his hand.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" She asked as his opened the lid of the bottle.
"Yeah. Mason said it'll diminish my strength so I can't break free." Tyler said.
"Doesn't stop it from tasting like fucking acid though." Harry muttered watching in thinly veiled disgust.
Tyler chuckled before he hesitantly put the bottle to his lips. The young werewolf then poured the yellow, urine looking liquid down his throat. Almost as soon as it touched his tongue, he coughed, choking up and retching as he collapsed to the floor.
"Tyler!" Caroline gasped, placing a small, delicate hand on his back. His back muscles rippled as he growled quietly.
"No." He said. Caroline shushed him, rubbing his back in a comforting manner. "Don't! Don't!" He snarled, his head snapping up, glare on his face. Their eyes lock and he sighed. "I'm sorry." He whispered. Caroline said nothing but cupped his face.
Harry cleared his throat, the sound like a hot knife slicing through butter as it dissipated the sexual tension between Tyler and Caroline. They jumped apart, Tyler's face tinted slightly and Caroline turned her head to conceal her blush.
He smirked and rocked on his heels before motioning to Tyler and nodding at the half empty bottle of wolfsbane water. The younger wolf growled and grumbled before he grabbed it and started to neck it down, sputtering and gasping as it burned him.
After he was finished, he lay on his back, breathing heavily. "You were right; it tastes like battery acid." He muttered.
It was now ten minutes past eleven and Tyler was writhing around in pure agony. He screams and attempted to remove the chains but Harry and Caroline stopped him, trying to comfort him.
"Hey. Tyler. Tyler." Caroline cooed as she wrapped her arms around him, a silent show of support. Tyler cried and Harry felt a huge sympathy strike him. Many wolves on their first moon are like this, emotional but in the end they come out of it stronger than what they went into it.
"I'm burning up. It burns!" Tyler growled.
"I know." Caroline murmured, rocking him.
"The best thing to do, Ty, is to breathe, okay?" Harry said, rubbing the Cub's shoulders reassuringly.
"I'm trying." He whispered. His dark eyes locked onto Caroline. "You should go. You should leave."
"Not yet." Caroline shook her head and Harry smiled slightly at the stubornness and determination. Then a scream from Tyler shattered the night and his bones snapped.
Caroline gave off a startled shriek as she let go of him and Tyler is now sobbing. "It hurts. It hurts." He kept repeating through his tears, agony etched onto his face.
Tyler was on the floor, panting and Caroline was settled next to him as Harry was sitting on the floor, knees up, attempting to slow down his transformation into a wolf.
"I want to help but I don't know what to do." Caroline said at last.
"There's nothing you can do." Tyler refuted.
"Stay Caroline, that's the pain speaking." Harry said, inhaling sharply. And then Tyler stood, his bones and spine breaking while he is screaming and crying out in pain. Caroline now has tears in her eyes, streaming out of her eyes and Harry froze.
-_-Flashback-_-
Rebekah sneaked out to follow Hadrien one full moon to watch him transform, Niklaus alongside her.
"Father would not like this, little sister." He whispered. "He already has reservations about Hadrien being a wolf."
"I do not care, Niklaus, he is my betrothed." Rebekah retorted smartly. She was walking with brisk steps and then she came across the clearing were Hadrien was screaming out in agony, all alone.
"Hadrien!" She screamed, running at him.
"GET BACK!" He snarled, his bones snapping sickeningly. Niklaus grabbed Rebekah, ready to run at a moments notice.
"Hadrien." She whispered watching in utter shock as her lover convulsed in pain, his bones breaking and healing at odd angles before re-breaking again.
And then it stopped and he dropped, crying. Rebekah shook herself from Nikaus hold and hugged his body to him. "Make it stop, please, I beg of you." Hadrien whispered quietly, but Rebekah caught it.
"Hadrien." Niklaus muttered. He looked up, startled.
"Nik, Bekah?" He asked, his voice low as he winced from the pain. "What are you doing out here? It's not safe."
"I wanted to see you." Rebekah stated.
"And it couldn't wait until tomorrow?" He asked, panting; the change was happening now. "Leave Bekah!" He said aggressively.
"No." She said, shaking her head.
"Leave!" He snapped, his face flashing, his eyes turning the golden amber and feral while his canines extended like wolves and twice as lethal. She flinched and took off running with Nik, leaving her lover alone.
"Come on, Bekah, quickly!" Niklaus shouted, running quickly to arrive at the caves before the wolves transformed. He found a tree marking that marked a cave entrance and he shoved Rebekah in, following quickly after her. The siblings exchanged looks when Niklaus noticed that she was looking at someone or something over her should and he turned to see a huge black wolf with greenish-amber eye color and his eyes widened.
"Hadrien." The wolf grinned and barked, lying on it's stomach while Rebekah hugged herself to his fur. Hadrien licked her face and she wrinkled her nose. Niklaus smiled as Rebekah and Hadrien interacted.
"Come on Nik, or you shall freeze to death." Rebekah said smartly and he glared at her before reluctantly curling up into Hadrien's fur and smiled at the warmth.
-_-Flashback End-_-
"Get out, Caroline quickly." Tyler shouted as he saw Harry's wolf form; which yawned and opened it's eyes before the wolf shook it's head and licked Caroline's face quickly.
"Ew." She muttered, wiping it. The wolf winked at them. Tyler smiled before he screamed out as his back arched and snapped, bones snapped and reshaped into a rough shape of a wolf.
His skin darkened and hair grew quickly. His pants ripped and a tail grew out of his tail bone. A snout morphed from his nose and chin and fur grew. Caroline rushed outside, bolting and locking the door while putting all of her strength into blocking the door.
Harry growled at the wolf and the wolf growled back. They were both Alpha's; that was noticed immediately. Some of Tyler's chains snapped from the pressure and Harry grimaced before giving in to his animal instincts and tackling the wolf.
They both crashed to the floor and Harry started to toy with the other wolf; having a play fight, distracting him and forcing him to have fun. Harry grinned before the wolf collapsed, tired as anything before it slowly shifted back into Tyler.
Harry sighed and forced his transformation back into his human form, conjuring pants for himself and Tyler. Harry pulled his on and waved his hand as they appeared on Tyler.
Then the door opened and Harry looked at Caroline. "He's fine. Just tired."
"Caroline?" Tyler asked weakly.
"Tyler." Caroline said, rushing to him, hugging a blanket around him. "Ssshhh ... You're okay, you made it. You didn't get out. You're okay." Caroline whispered soothingly.
"No, I'm not." Tyler said, choking on a sob and Caroline embraced him. Harry watched in pity before he helped Caroline pick up Tyler. Harry then dusted them to Tyler's room, depositing the now unconscious werewolf on his bed. Harry turned to Caroline but she was gone.
The immortal hybrid sighed before dusting back to his car and driving home. He got out of his car when he parked it but stopped just short of his home to notice Elijah.
"I though werewolf bites were lethal to yo vampires." Harry said.
"I'm an Original." Elijah said as if it were obvious.
Harry nodded he had a point there.
