Chapter 5-N

Nick's POV

I drive home as the clock hits 6:29. I run behind the house.

"Where we..." Joe starts as we start to turn into werewolves.

I hear him growl. Damn! I'm in for a lecture at sunrise. I go deep into the woods to a lake. I start drinking the lake water and I start stalking around for food. I find a deer and run after it. I keep thinking about that legend. There is no way that legend can be true. I never heard of a sunstar stone and I have been living for a very very very long time. I see who looks like Seth come up to me. He runs up next to me. He howls lowly as to sound danger. I run the way he is going. I see Joe on the ground with these two masked people I growl at them loudly. They point some sort of gun at me. I howl loudly and Mom and Dad come up behind me. The masked people run away and I go to the back of the house. I scratch on the door. Within minutes I see Demi at the door with a loaded gun.

"Oh it's only you. What's wrong?" She asks.

I whimper and go into the dirt and I write the word "follow" in the dirt.

She grabs a coat and she runs behind me. I guide her over to Joe.

"Joe! Is he ok?" She asks looking at me.

"I'll get the first aid kit!" She says as she runs to the house.

A human first aid kit might not work for this. I grab a baseball hat I found in the wood and fill it with water. I hear Joe make a whimpering noise. Demi comes back with the first aid kit.

"What can I do?" She asks looking for an answer.

"Right you guys can't talk. Can I sit with him and comfort him?" She asks.

I nod. I howl lowly at Demi.

"What is it Nick? What do you need?" She asks.

I point my nose at the cleaning alcohol. She gets it out for me. I point to a cloth. She puts the cleaning alcohol on the cloth and I point to the hole in his leg.

"Knowing Nick well enough, he means well Joey." She says as she puts the cloth on the hole.

I hear him yelp in pain then growl at me. I'm guessing he is still angry with me. At least I didn't get caught and at least this the last night of the full moon for a little bit. We stay next to Joe for the next hour while the sun rises.

"Joe, are you alright?" I ask him.

"Me? What about you? You were the one who was out until jet before 6:30! You could have had us all exposed!" He yells.

"Joe! It's alright. Don't get mad at him. He's here, he wasn't caught, it's ok. Don't stress! You look like you got beat up!" She says as she hugs Joe.

He groans.

"Can you help me back to the house. I can't walk." He says.

"Alright. Seth can you help me carry him to the couch. Demi grab the medical kit from my room. It has a lot more supplies for what I need to do to fix Joe up.

"Mom and Dad bring this kit back into the bathroom and get ready for work." I tell them.

"Mom" and "Dad" aren't my real Mom and Dad.

Our real parents died in the First World War. They were Humans. Joe is my real brother though. I'm in America because of him. I was new to this werewolf thing. We boarded the ship at night and he claimed I was his dog. I was small enough to be called such I was only a few weeks of werewolf old so I was still a puppy. He wasn't a werewolf yet. Let's rephrase it he didn't start to bug me to bite him. It took quite a while for him to convince me to bite him. I was and still am frozen a 17 year old, Joe is 18 and a half. I remember the day I was changed. I was outside picking up debris from a German force attack. What I thought was a dog bite was indeed a werewolf bite. My brother came out and saw the wolf and it ran away, he was sure shocked the next evening. Mom and Dad were dead by then. Shortly after, the war ended and we hopped onto an immigration boat and then we ended up in the States. My brother wanted to be with me as long as possible. I agreed after a while and I bit him. I will tell you I have a dark past, but I have cleaned up my act. There was a period I really went off the rails. I went so off the rails, I left my brother. After a while I realized I would be lonely without him, so I had found him and we've stayed together ever since.

We get Joe into the house.

"I have to go home to tell Dad what's up. I'll be back over soon. I'm not going to school today. Normal humans can't recover that quickly." Seth says.

"Ok, here are the keys to the car. Bring it back in the same condition or you are dead." I tell him as I throw him the keys.

I go into the living room.

"Alright. What hurts?" I ask Joe.

"Everything, Doctor Idiot. My leg is really bad." He says.

"Alright, let me see." I tell him as I start to check his leg.

"Owwwww! That hurts!" He yells.

"Ok. That is defiantly broken. As for everything else, you should be ok. A few bruises here and there. Now I got your crutches upstairs. As for a cast, I just have to make one from my kit of stuff upstairs unless you want to get a human to do it." I tell him.

"It might be easiest." Joe says.

"We can take you to the hospital as soon as Seth gets back." I tell him.

"Dem, go to school. I'll be fine." Joe says.

"No Joe, I'm staying with you." She says.

"We can't risk them seeing the whole family is gone. They will get suspicious and we can't risk that. We need to keep our identities safe." Joe explains to her.

"But I want to stay with you Joe. Why can't I be like you? I want to be with you forever." She says.

Oh the age old debate. Demi wanting to become a werewolf. I'm betting $20 that he will give in. Personally, I can't see the problem! It's not like we have werewolf hunters around or anything. Although I do have go keep my sarcastic comments to myself.

"Hey, Dad called me off for the day. I can stay with Joe while you guys get to school. I promise I will text you guys as soon as we get news alright." Seth says.

"Alright, come on Demi. Seth, We have to get Joe to the car." I tell him.

"Yeah, I'll drop you guys off." Seth says as we carry Joe to the car.

Seth drives us to school.

"Bye Joe." Demi says as she give him a kiss.

"Seth, careful with my car. It's from the 60's." I tell him.

"Relax, I have been driving for at least 50 years. I was alive when Mr Ford made the first car. Now, get to school. Have fun." He says as he drives off.

I walk into school with Demi.

"Hey Nick, Hi Rags." A guy says.

"Hey! You don't talk about my sister like that!" I snap.

"And what are you going to do about?" He asks.

"Nick, don't bother with him." Demi starts.

I can feel my adrenaline racing. I go to punch him and Demi pushes me back. She slaps me across the face.

"Get a grip Nick, you had your eyes on." Demi says.

"Oh, sorry. It's just I don't want him talking to you like that." I tell her.

"Thanks for being my big brother." She says.

"Don't mention it. "I'll see you in gym, text me if Seth texts you about Joe." I tell her.

"As long and you do the same "She says as she goes down the hall.

I go into my European history course. It's a course that I could sleep through. I lived through Post World War 1, our current topic. It's my 100 birthday this year in fact. Born in 1902 and Joe was born in 1889. "Ok class, we are going to start The Great Depression today." The teacher says.

I can say I love 30's that was dark time. Let's just say The Great Depression was exactly that for me. I killed many people but I kind of put them our of their misery. They would have died a week later. Joe and I did fight in World War 2. The bell rings and I head to ancient history, the one class I dread. I hope that Miley hasn't put two and two together yet. I sit in my seat. I think about Miley's screensaver that is a picture of a few of her friends. She might already know. They are all werewolves, that or she has no idea. It's Louisa, and Hayley, they are sweethearts. They have became human vegetarians. I have no idea how they do it and Violet, I remember when she was off the rails for a few years.
