A/N: I don't know what to think of this title. Anyway, enjoy! Rated T for blood and violence.
Chapter 1: The Howl
Riku washed his face, his last step before he went to sleep. He could've sworn he saw something moving in the dark. Riku's eyes darted around the room, but he didn't see anything. "My eyes must be playing tricks on me," Riku said to himself as he went to sleep.
(3:00 am)
A low growl jolted Riku out of his sleep. He looked around the room, terrified. His eyes then landed on a wolf standing in the doorway. No, not just any wolf, a werewolf with silver fur and crimson eyes. Riku cried out, and ran for the door. Maybe I can push it out of the way, and escape! Riku thought. The werewolf gave a snarl, and Riku skidded to a halt. He looked around for an escape route, and saw the window. He dashed towards the window, not daring to look behind him.
The wolf only got in his way again. Riku was trapped and he knew it. Soon, Riku was trapped in a corner. He tried his best to look threatening, but the wolf only snapped at his legs. The wolf soon grinned, and leaped at Riku. He closed his eyes, knowing what would befall him. The pain was excruciating. He screamed, and struggled. The wolf had bit into his neck.
Riku felt blood coming up to his mouth. He gagged, and tears started streaming down his face, like a waterfall. Riku kicked and screamed, but to no avail. Each time he would try to struggle, the wolf would bite harder. Soon, he was on his knees. Blood soaked his shirt. The werewolf shook him around, Riku coughed up blood.
Finally, the pain stopped, Riku could barely breathe. The werewolf had left its mark. He would be scarred…or worse. He didn't know why, but he felt an uneasy feeling. It was almost as if…he would become a wolf.
(7:00 am)
"Riku! Riku, please wake up!" a voice shouted. Riku painfully opened his eyes. "Riku, what happened?" the person said again. It was Sora.
"I don't know. I saw something in the shadows…there was this unbearable pain," Riku replied. "It was a werewolf."
Carolina rushed into the room, followed by Lea, and Ienzo. Blood was all over the walls and floor. Carolina looked worried. Riku could barely keep his eyes open.
"What happened?" Carolina asked.
"Werewolf, or at least, that's what Riku said. If you ask me, he's going insane!" Sora replied.
Carolina sucked in her breath, while Lea started laughing. "That isn't possible, werewolves went extinct over 10,000,000 years ago. How could it be a werewolf?" she said.
"I don't know, Riku seemed pretty convinced about the whole thing. Maybe he was hallucinating. The oldest werewolf fossil was around during the time of the dinosaurs. There's no way," Sora said.
"Unless…they came back," Lea said. The group looked at Lea in shock. "It might be true. I think we should tell Squall about it."
"Tell me about what?" a voice said. The entire group jumped at the sound of the voice, they relaxed when they saw that it was only Squall. "What happened?"
"Well, Squall…Riku was attacked last night," Lea said.
"By what?" Squall asked, stiffening.
"A werewolf. At least, that's what he said," Sora said.
The headmaster laughed at that. He had never believed in werewolves. They were just myths, stories. Riku meanwhile, had slipped into unconsciousness.
"That is impossible, werewolves are fake, myths. They're like the big bad wolf from Little Red Riding Hood on steroids. Or the huffing thing wolf…creation from The Tree Little Pigs. They aren't real," Squall said, thinking that Riku must be paranoid.
"You should watch what you say, headmaster. There could be a werewolf right in this room. You never know," Carolina said, threateningly.
"Are you threatening me?" Squall said, outraged. Carolina shook her head, and sat back down. "That's it, I'll leave you guys to living in a fantasy world, I am leaving. If you need anything, I'll be in my office. By the way, you should probably get Riku to the hospital. He had quite the battle with the 'werewolf' last night."
The headmaster then left the people to ponder. "He kind of has a point, werewolves were never real in my opinion," Sora said.
"Then who did this?" Carolina asked.
A/N: For once, not a sad story. Finally, been waiting for the moment I finally realize the torture of sad stories. Anyway, please review!
