CHAPTER 8
Day came far too fast for me and I felt a burning sensation hit my body as I felt everything revert back to normal, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" I said, Timpani came in with her hair all in a mess with some tea, he gave me a bright smile.
"I decided to bring you some tea, also you look awfully tired" she noted, I shrugged and took the tea from her happily.
"I don't feel tired actually, I may crash at some point during the day though" I said, my stomache growled and I blushed as Timpani laughed, then she blushed when her stomache growled and I ended up laughing.
"Let's go grab some food Ermora" she said, I nodded and we headed to the kitchen, it was just us there for a time, we made some eggs and toast and as we sat down Dimentio and Mimi came in.
"Wow we're not the first ones up this time" Mimi said in surprise, Dimentio groaned and I held back a chuckle, were all the guys here non-morning people?
"I feel like a bear that has been disturbed while it was sleeping" Dimentio moaned, I ended up laughing and he gave me quite the look, it was a long time since I last heard him talk like that.
"So whats the plan today ladies?" Mimi asked excitedly, Timpani shrugged and I thought about it carefully.
"Well going out may not be a good idea for me since I had a minor trans- somethings burning" I cut off part way through my sentence, I could smell something burning just then O'Chunks came in with his hand all red and steaming slightly, Nastasia came behind him with a face palm.
"What happened?" Timpani asked, O'Chunks rinsed his hand under some cold water and let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah ummm he tried to take a hot lightbulb out of the lamp, don't do that again k?" Nastasia noted, Dimentio gave me quite a look.
"Yeh I won't be doin' that again lass" O'Chunks noted with a tiny smile.
"Ermora, you said you smelled that, I'm concerned about that" Dimentio mumbled, I stiffened and froze, he was right, my lycanthropy must be slowly getting worse.
"Dimentio! Be a little more considerate of Ermora's emotions, it's probably not easy going through what she's going through right now" Timpani scolded.
"Your right, sorry Ermora" Dimentio sighed, I shook my head, he was right.
"N-no your right, Nastasia please mark that down as another symptom, I have a feeling that since I was scratched under a blood moon my DNA will mutate quicker then any of us thought" I said, Nastasia nodded and took out her book and a pen and marked it down.
"With that out of the way what can we do thats indoors?" I suggested, it was probably best to keep a watch on my symptoms before I go out and make a big mistake.
"Well I'm not hanging around today, I'm going to go take a look at some more dresses" Mimi stated and twirled around I shook my head with a smile and continued eating my eggs, when I finished I got up and Timpani grabbed my hand.
"Want to do any research together?" she asked, I thought about her offer, 2 people instead of one would be better.
"Sure but lets sit in the garden maybe so then we can at least enjoy fresh air" I said, she nodded and we left, we gathered up 2 books on lycanthropy and headed out into the garden, there were flowers I had never seen before and some wolfsbane.
"Whats caught your attention?" Timpani asked, I pointed at the wolfsbane and reached out to touch it.
"Wolfsbane definitely has it's name for a reason, I wonder if we could use it to help find a cure" I pondered, I reached closer but Timpani grabbed my hand and gently moved it away.
"Lets NOT try and see what happens when you touch it" she said, I gave her a sheepish smile, she was right and with it being deadly to humans already I wonder how much deadlier it would be for a werewolf.
"My bad, lets do some research then shall we?" I asked, Timpani nodded and we took a seat and began to read, I looked over to the wolfsbane from time to time, I do wonder if silver would be bad for me too. Maybe before bed I can find out whether or not silver will hurt me and maybe sneak out to grab some wolfsbane to test that out as well, I shook my head to erase the thoughts, I can't just go and test these things out, what if I mutate to having an immunity against them? We sat there until well into the afternoon and then headed in for some food, as we headed to the library I could smell something good.
"I smell something very delicious right now" I said, Timpani shook her head and took the book from my hands.
"You go find out what it is then and I'll put the books away" she said, I thanked her and headed to the kitchen, I hadn't seen anyone today really so it was surprising when I saw Blumiere cooking some hamburger in a pan.
"Hey Ermora, Nastasia noted that your sense of smell has gotten stronger and I supposed you smelled this" he guessed, I nodded and felt myself salivate, I really wanted to eat meat suddenly... wait a minute, I wouldn't, ah shit.
"Well I'm thinking I'm also more of a meat eater now too, I'm really wanting some" I said, Blumiere shook his head and dad came in with mom.
"Yet another sign your turning, this is a bit odd that your genes are mutating a fair bit quicker then I thought" dad said, I scratched the back of my head.
"Yeah, I nearly touched wolfsbane earlier too when I saw it in the garden, I felt strangely attracted to it" I confessed, dad needed to know this so he could help determine when a full transformation could happen... right?
"Thats a... very bad sign Ermora, we should maybe think about keeping you chained up in a few weeks on the night of the full moon just in case" dad said, I looked down.
"Don't worry dear, we will find a cure, but until then lets just keep track of all the symptoms and lets try to stay positive" mom said with a gentle tone, I looked back up with a small smile, theres still 3 weeks so thats lots of time.
"Alright, well then it's best for me to stay away from the city, over stimulation would be bad, Timpani and I did some more research today" I said, dad gave an approving nod.
"As much as it is good for us to know what to do its most imprtant for the one infected to know what they can watch out for" he said, Blumiere gave a half smile.
"Not hard to tell in Ermora's case, she went from a not so big meat eater to a full on meat eater" Blumiere teased, we laughed.
"Can't say I don't like my red meat now and at least my iron won't be so low" I said in a positive tone.
"Thats more like it, now lets get ready to eat and have a great rest of the evening shall we?" mom said, I smiled and nodded.
"Alright I'll go get everyone" I announced as I left the kitchen in high spirits to find everyone, this won't be so bad anymore, course I think I'll test the silver and wolfsbane still tonight, whats the worst that could happen. I gathered everyone quickly and we had a great meal and then I went to bed saying I was tired, I waited until night came by and then poked my head out of the door again, good the lights were off. I snuck into the garden and went to find the wolfsbane, I spotted the plant and went to reach for it, I then caught a scent and ran into the shadows. Dimentio came out with a lamp and looked around and I silently cursed, I didn't realize he made rounds tonight as the guard I guess you could say. Dimentio scanned the area and I didn't move or make a sound, he then left after a moment and I came back out from the shadows. I went back to the flower and reach out to grab it, as I touched the petal it was so soft and silky, I made sure I got pollen on my fingers and nothing, I thought it was supposed to burn werewolves.
"What are you doing?" a voice asked, I froze and turned around, it was Dimentio, his eyes widened as he saw the wolfsbane pollen on my fingers, no point in lieing now.
"I just wanted to see what would happen if I touched it" I said truthfully, Dimentio grabbed me by the wrist and ported us to somewhere I had never been, my dad was there and I looked around, it was a lab.
"As suspected, she went back to the wolfsbane flower, but the pollen doesn't burn her" Dimentio said, dad gave me a furious look and I flinched,I was so dead.
"You should know betetr then to toucha plant that could damage you! But on the other hand you seem to be immune" he said in a cold tone.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to I just wanted to know" I said, he gave me a silencing look.
"Next time come talk to me before you just decide to test these things, now go to bed" he demanded, I nodded and Dimentio snapped his fingers and in an instant I was in my room. I felt shame prick at my mind, I really shouldn't have done that but I needed to know, I went to my bed and lied down after that short lecture I had no desire to see if silver did anything, I clsoed my eyes I should think about asking dad if we can try silver next.
Another chapter down, more or less a bit of a filler I guess but this may be the last chapter for a few days since work and my martial arts are going to be keeping me busy for a few days.
