I don't own TDI/TDA (I never saw TDA yet either T.T)
This Chapter is told from Trent's POV.
CH8. Hungry like the Werewolf
I sat by Gwen's bed waiting for her to sleep. I took a little too much today. I felt really bad. Then just as she dozes off I hear someone or something call out my name.
"Hooooowwwwllllll!!!!" It woke Gwen up but for only a second before she was out like a light. It sounded like a howl, but in ears I heard, "Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnntttt." (EDN: Not really. He is just being dramatic.) I looked out the window to see what direction it came from, and jumped out Gwen's window. I felt bad leaving her, so weak and vulnerable, but there was a threat out there that I need to take care of.
I followed the disgusting sent to were the howl came from. I felt like gagging, it smelt like a wet dog rolling in 3 year old dippers and dead animals. But I forced myself to keep going as the sent grew stronger. I made it to a clearing, miles away from town. I was alone with the sent chocking me. Then it appeared out of the forest. It was a huge wolf (not really huge, not even close to a bear but it was bigger than an average wolf almost as big as, ummm, a lion) light brown fur, long black claws, a waterproof watch (? T.T ?), and flame shaped rings on it's arms. If it wasn't so threatening I would find this beast really cool.
"What do you want dog?" I sneered at him. The wolf came running toward me with all his might. I dodged him, in just enough time to miss his deadly claws. As I saw him halt before slamming into a tree I could not take my eyes off that watch. Why dose a wolf have a watch? Before I can ask he came at me again. This time he got me off guard and pinned me to the ground. His smell could have killed me. He growled and hissed at me, showing his long white fangs, which looked like they can tear me limb, from, limb.
"Oh, grandma what lovely teeth you have." That made him growl even loader. I was not afraid of this puppy at all. "I have a nice set myself." I hissed showing my long white fangs. The wolfs eyes widened in fear, or shock. I threw him off of me, and this time I ran toward him.
I ran with all my speed slamming him into trees, and crushing them as I kept running till I threw him across the field. I heard him whimper as he hit the grass. "Aww. What's wrong Scooby? You called me out to play. So lets play." I said with cockiness in my voice as I kicked him in the gut making him fly. (EDN: Okay so I know kicking dogs is very bad and I am a huge animal rights person, but his is different) He hit the floor again 10 yards behind me. I ran to him for yet another kick but I stopped myself.
On the floor was not a lion sized wolf. But Connor, Gwen's neighbor. He only had his shorts, and watch on. Well that explains the watch. I picked him up and pinned him to a tree. "What the hell is going on? I demand answers." I yelled at the beaten boy.
He just chuckled. "Or what? You'll eat me?" I slammed him harder against the tree making him whimper. "That's one nice bark Snoopy. Now lets see if you can bite." I stared at him for a while waiting for a response. "Nothing. Well want to see my bite." I said opening my mouth, fangs hanging down. I aimed at his neck but the stench stopped me. "You're lucky I am full or you'd be my midnight snack." I said turning around.
He did not take too kindly to my words. He was a wolf once again and had me pinned to the grass. Then he turned into a human. "I thought I smelled Gwen in your mouth. But I though you guys were just making out. That why I was after you. But you drank from her! You sicken me. Now I have a better reason to kill you." He yelled applying more pressure on me so I stay put and hurt me, but I felt no pain.
"How do you know that drinking is all we did before I left." I said with a very calm tone that would have earned me a slap if Gwen heard. He punched me in the face and threw me across the field, but I regained my stance quickly in time to stop the werewolf from attacking me. Wow he can change fast. I looked at the sky to see a crescent moon. "I thought you can only become a wolf on full moons?" I asked holding back his huge, slobbering jaw from crunching down on my face.
I pushed him back and he was human again. "That's just a myth. We can change at will." He turned into a wolf once more and charged toward me. I see that now, duh. When he missed I caught sight of his watch. 3:00 am. Gwen will be awake in 6 hrs; I need 3 to sleep and 3 more to heal. Dam.
"Listen wolf, I got stuff to do so why not call it a truce for now." I said holding out my hand. The wolf that had hit a tree was shacking off his injuries. He ran toward me but no attack followed. He turned into a human.
"I want to know how the hell you are a vampire. You weren't a couple of days ago." He said breathing hard, eyes giving me the death stare. I was not going to tell some dog what happened. It was none of his business. "I wasn't always like this you know."
"What are you talking about? You always were a huge, ugly, hairy beast to me." I said. He growled and looked ready to kill me. "Ok. Sorry. It happened in Spain about a week ago. It was a total accident. Now your turn spill Snoopy" I said.
"First stop calling me dog, Snoopy, Scooby, and dog. Second no one can know, so keep it from Gwen." He said in a serious manner. "I second that except Gwen knows what I am. And you will never call me leach, Dracula, or, blood sucker. Got it?" I said with slight harshness in my tone.
"Sure what ever." He said. "I have always been this way. It runs in my family. Wolves are the protectors of humans from monsters. Especially vampires. That's why I act like a brother to Gwen, because it's my duty to protect her and all other humans. And now you come." He said looking at me with angry eyes. I noticed his scratches were disappearing, he must heal fast to. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!" he warned.
I smiled. "NO!!!" he swung a punch but I grabbed his arm. "I won't hurt her. I just want to protect her like you. Now if you don't mind." I said turning his arm to see the watch. He gave out a small yelp in pain. "I am very late. Truce, until we meet again." I said releasing his arm and taking a bow.
"That will be what, tomorrow?" he said rubbing his arm.
"Yup. One more thing." I said. He perked his head up to look at me. "I did not even use my powers today, and I beat the crap out of you. Think twice before you call out a vampire ok?" I said. He looked scared to find out I have powers. I chuckled at his fear and ran home.
I showered and slept as soon as I hit the bed. "Wow, fighting werewolves sure dose take a lot out of you." I said to myself as I doze off.
My POV.
Little did Trent know that Ashly was outside his room and heard him say were he was. "Werewolves?" she whimpered in fear. But Trent was already in a deep sleep and did not hear hr run off.
