"Mark."
Mark creased his eyebrows & blinked open his eyes. He couldn't really see anything though since he didn't seem to be wearing his glasses. But who he assumed to be Wade handed them to him. He slipped them on & glanced around. He seemed to be in the back seat of the car laying down partially on Wade's lap.
"Is he awake?" Bob glanced in the rear view mirror as he drove.
Wade nodded, "Yeah." He looked back down at Mark, "How do you feel?"
"Sore...dirty..." Mark muttered cringing at the taste of old blood that was always left in his mouth the morning after the transformation. "Did everything go okay?"
"As well as it could have. We didn't run across anyone for the whole night, but it was harder than hell to keep up with you. Much less get you to wait for us." Bob said.
"You found a rabbit though." Wade added.
"But I didn't see any blood." Mark glanced over his dirt smudged & half naked body.
"Well, you didn't kill it. You just ended up scaring the shit out of it." Bob said.
Mark pressed his dry lips together, he groaned a bit. After going through a full moon for three nights Mark realized it was worse than any hangover.
"We're gonna get you home & you should definitely clean up." Bob said.
"On the bright side, you have a whole now to figure things out." Wade looked at Mark.
Mark rolled his eyes a bit, though Wade was right & that gave him some bit of comfort.
Once they reached the apartment building Wade slipped Mark's shirt on & with Bob's help they helped him back into his apartment. His muscles were too weak to carry him far by himself. In next couple hours mark managed to bath himself & eat which made him feel a bit better at least.
Mark then checked his emails idly to see if there was any news on where Brittany was. He perked up significantly when he noticed something from Jack. He read through it a couple times with a confused & surprised look on his face.
Wade noticed this & raised an eyebrow at him, "What?"
"Jack wants me to Skype him." Mark muttered not looking up from the screen.
"Does he know where Brittany is?" Bob asked peering over at him.
"No...he says he might have a cure." Mark looked at them seeing confusion equal to his own on their faces. He hadn't told anyone besides Wade & Bob about his hairy little problem so how the hell did Jack know? He didn't waste time in opening his Skype account, he was pretty sure Jack would be at his computer. That Irishman never slept.
Sure enough, once Mark called Jack it only took a couple seconds for his face to appear on the screen.
"Hi, Mark!"
"Hi, Jack. What do you mean by 'you might have a cure'?" Mark didn't beat around the bush here because he was too anxious.
"Come on, Mark. You know what I meant. Anyway, my Gran use to tell me these stories when I was a kid. Like fairy tales & stuff." Jack explained.
"But what does that have to do with...Mark?" Bob asked as he moved to stand next to Mark.
"My Gran kinda taught me how to spot a werewolf. In your last video, Mark, it was kinda obvious."
Mark blinked taken back by this, "Great..."
"But the important thing is my Gran gave me this old book before she died. And it has this cure for a werewolf in it, actually there are a couple cures." Jack held up a tattered book.
"Really? Well, what do we do to cure Mark?" Wade popped up.
"You've got two options. One, you find the werewolf that bit ya & kill 'em!"
"I wasn't bitten." Mark frowned.
"Next." Wade added.
"Okay, well the second option is to perform a spell." Jack said looking at the page that held the cure.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but we have a better chance of doing that." Bob said.
"What do we need?" Mark asked almost on the edge of his seat.
"You're gonna need someone of 'the old blood' to cast the spell & that's me because of my Gran. But what's really important is that the person who cursed you is in the same place as you."
"That's gonna be hard, but I think we can find her." Wade said hopefully.
"I wasn't finished...The spell has to be done on the night of a blue moon." Jack added.
Mark's shoulders slumped, "When the hell is there gonna be a blue moon."
Bob went to his laptop & searched for a moment, "Uh...the end of next month."
Mark chewed his lower lip, "Fantastic."
"That could give us time to figure out where in Ohio Brittany is." Wade pointed out hoping to cheer Mark up a bit.
Mark nodded & looked at Jack, "Think you could fly out here before the blue moon?"
Jack nodded, "Sure, I'll buy a plane ticket now."
Mark took a breath, "Don't forget to bring that book."
