3 day's earlier Saturday
Jim Johan and Hassleberry finished setting up the compound house for their relatives which was a house that was about 10 yards from their own place. They didnt exactly wanted to share their space with Adrian Axel or Jehu.
They were troublemakers who tend to follow Jehu's lead, being Johan's older brother, and despite being older, wasnt very much wiser than his younger brother. Johan let out a exasperated sigh, pinching the bridge of his forehead, his head pounding for the third time that day.
"Calm down Mate. Your gonna trigger yourself when your brother gets here and the last thing we need to be doing is tranquilizering your blue furry ass." Jim wasnt wrong. Jehu rubbed his little brother the wrong way every time he dropped in on him since the three were allowed to be left alone 3 years earlier. He was glad most of the pack was away from them. Too many wolves in a town this small, was gonna raise suspicion.
"I should be with Judai, Jim. We still dont know if he is a werewolf or not." This knawed at the back of Johan's mind. He learned the signs of a new werewolf in perperation for Judai, in case he turned into one after being bitten by Jehu all those years ago.
Jehu being a careless bastard, had been the one to drag the 6 year old from the car crash. After the elders learned of it, they scolded him throughly and made sure the pack was warey of the child and watched him carefully.
"You know hes not gonna remember anything of that stuff. His parents practically made sure he barely remembered the accident that they were in when he was 6. Why do you think he was so surprised by hearing werewolves and the car accident." Hassleberry elaborated as well. he was on Jim's side. Johan shook his head.
"No, I felt something the day I touched his hand… Its like a spark…I'm not sure okay?" Johan looked troubled by all of it. He wanted so badly for Judai to be just like him, he'd be at his side through every step. He had kept his eyes on the sweet brunette since he found him lying on the ground after Axel Adrian and Jehu left his body in the woods.
"Dont be disappointed, Johan. It's a stretch at best. Now lets go meet them." He patted the bluette's arm as he got up and walked out the screen door that led to the yard as they waited for the pickup truck to pull up to the house.
Johan pushed down his feelings and stood up and joined the two outside as a brown pickup truck rushed through the backroads of the woods towards their house. "Wooooo! Hello boys!" the truck stopped short of them as a dark skinned male with short black hair, dark green eyes wearing a combat getup with knee padding over his jeans and brown laced boots and a red tank top got out of the truck.
The next boy had red orange hair with glasses with a green tank top black scarf white parrashoot pants and flat loafers. The last was a look alike tp Johan except darker. dark ivory skin, golden amber eyes dark teal hair dressed in black fishnet tank top with a dark blue top under neath with black cut off jeans and thick boots.
"Yo! How's everything boys!" Adrian chuckles mockingly. Hassleberry and Johan groan inwardly as Jim shows half hearted decency towards the pack members. "We're doing quiet well. We're getting accustomed to living here near other humans." Adrian shook his head laughing. "You forgetting the mission again."
That kinda knee jerked the three. "W-what mission..?" Hassleberry reluctantly asked, his voice choking back a growl. Axel shrugged his shoulders his arms resting on his hips. "We're supposed to make sure that Judai brat doesnt pose a threat. And start changing some of the female's in this town." Jim raised a hand to the two at his side making sure they didnt stir up a fuss or anything.
"So the Elders believe Judai could pose a threat?" Jim rebuttles at their words. Hassleberry and Johan were itching to tear into their pack mates for the assumptions. "If he ever shift, he just might. They believe he's the Supreme Alpha reincarnated." This brings a shocking alarm to the three.
They learned a long time ago about the Supreme Alpha who once ruled over all werewolf packs across Europe where their pack had originated from before migrating to Colorado and mixing with the werewolves here. He was told to have been a tyrant and would kill mercilessly their own kind if they didnt submit and chase the humans away and make the humans into slaves.
It took humans and werewolves together to hunt down and kill the Supreme Alpha and end his rein. Since then the elders predicted and foresaw that the Supreme Alpha would be reborn as a human child and that he would come to Willow some how to take control of the packs again.
Most of the younger pack members didnt believe in such supersitious crap. Decades passed and nearly a century and a half later they got word of a child moving to Willow who shared the same apperance of the Supreme Alpha.
"So when you dragged Judai from the car when he was in that accident?!" Johan started his brother smirking back at him. "Yes I was planning to kill him. how fortunate that the car even had a problem to begin with." He chuckled darkly making Johan clenched his fist tightly before glaring at his older brother.
"Your such a bad liar, Jehu. You ran out in front of the car making them swerve out of the way and crash." Jim shook his head in disappointment looking at the slightly older male. Jehu grit his teeth annoyed that Jim saw right through his bullshit. he enjoyed tormenting his little brother, but Jim always intervened so Johan would cool off.
Johan tore his gaze away from his older brother annoyed as he walked out of the yard and into the woods. He climbed the nearest tree and sat about 6 branches up and leaned his back against the trunk of the tree wanting to stay far away from his packmates now.
'Judai wouldn't hurt anyone. Its wrong of them to want him dealt with, even if he doesnt turn…' Johan stopped his throughts there. He wanted Judai to be one of them, mostly out of his fear that Judai would reject him entirely if he knew the truth about him. It frightened the blue haired male to his core. he griped his shirt tightly over his heart and tugged at it.
"God, please…Don't take him from me.." He mumbled weakly…
2 days earlier Sunday
Their packmates rarely bothered them during their stay besides making them known by the dead body smells from the yard of dead squirrels. Yup they were being savages. While Hassleberry and Jim twitched their noses with disgust at the smell Johan had it up to satan's doorstep with the three already.
"Can you shit heads at least eat normal food while your here?! Instead of stinking up the place with animal corpses??" He glowered over the three who were about to eat a couple possums.
"Aw you wound me brother! But, quite alright." The three let go of the possums as they scurry away into the woods. That day Jim introduced to the savages the wonders of bbq and a simple cookout on a grill. It smelt and tasted a lot better than anything his dimwit brother has been eating that day.
Sadly for the trio they later had to buy more food from the grochery store after the three gluttons ate them out of house and home. After a well deserved beating of course.
"Can we just kill them and burn their bodies in the woods…?" Hassleberry groaned heavily grumbling as he carried bags of groceries to their packmate's truck which they had to borrow since Johan's dad's truck was still being worked on.
"No because then the Elders would banish us for traitorship then who would be here to keep Judai safe?" Jim countered Hassleberry sighed at his words silently agreeing with the Aussie about their mission.
"We're not going to kill him right?" Johan's voice was quiet as he voiced his concerns to his buddies. Hassleberry and Jim looked at Johan after placing the bags in the bed of the truck.
His eyes were to the ground with his shoulders slumped. Both males put a comforting hand on their friends shoulder making the blue haired werewolf look up at them.
"We wouldn't do that. Never. I don't know all about the babble that the elders spew but Judai's just an innocent kid. He's just like us. We're the outcasts of our own family for crying out loud." Hassleberry chuckles trying to lighten the mood at the end which brings a small smirk to Johan's face.
"We'll protect him with you Johan. Never doubt that alright?" Jim gave his slightly shorter friend's shoulder a squeeze before turning to hop into the truck. The other two hopped in as well as Jim drove back to their rut in the woods.
1 day earlier Monday
Johan got a hell of a waker-upper when his older brother dragged him out of bed by his legs knocking the bluenette on the head when his head hit the floor. "Ow! What in the seven hells are you doing!?" He glared at his older brother who had a deep seeded smirk on his face as he dragged his little brother outside.
"You bastard let go of me already!" He made such a racket that Jim and Hassleberry joined them outside on the deck watching the display. "Your out of shape, Little brother." With one lift Johan was hanging in the air upside down his head brushing the ground under him. "Ahhh! Put me down! Put me down now Jehu!!" The bluenette cried out trying to grab his brother so he wouldn't be dangling like a piñata.
"Time to get in shape!" With one hand he threw Johan into the nearest tree. "AAAAHHH!" Johan with his reflexes grab the tree trunk digging his feet into the bark to catch himself so he wouldn't fall from the now 8 foot drop to the ground. "You BASTARD I'm GONNA KILL YOU!" Johan cried out tho panic filled his voice as the entire act caught him by surprise.
"Now start climbing the damn tree! Don't make me get the taser!" Johan paled at the word Taser, as he started reaching up and grabbing tree branches.
"Judai isn't gonna believe this…" Hassleberry started recording which made Jim smack him upside the head. The army boy out his phone down from record but checked the text message board between the friends.
"Huh??" The male exclaimed. Jim looked over his shoulder to read what the chat said.
Syrus: at the nurses office. Blair was unconscious and was almost assaulted.
Judai: I kinda also jumped out of the third floor window onto one of the guys who was ripping her shirt off…
Chazz: luckily Blair's okay and sadly we lost our stuff on the bus. How are you guys holding up with the relatives?
"How do you explain a situation like that?!?" Hassleberry yelled at his phone exasperated by the explanation the three gave about their day at school. "Wow… that's really something.." Jim was flabbergasted as well at the explanation. The duo would have to call the guys later and have them explain it better in bigger details.
"No! No.. no no!" The two look up to see Johan danging from a branch about 3 inches thick that looked like it was about to snap under his weight.
"That's not good…" The two spoke in unison watching the branch snap and their blue haired friend scream falling to the ground. "AAAAAHHHH!" They shut their eyes in response grimacing in pain from the sight as they opened their eyes to see their friend laying in a crater.
"How far up did he fall…?" Jim spoke carefully. Jehu chuckled answering his question. "About 15 feet up." That made both boys flinch. The two couldn't imagine how much pain their best friend was in at the moment.
"Johan…? Are you dead..?" Hassleberry called out his voice coming out as a squeak, mostly from fear for his friend. He didn't know if he should call an ambulance or an undertaker to come take his poor friend away. Johan groaned pushing himself slowly up his face coated in the dirt and rocks embedded in his skin and hair.
"A-aahh…. I'm not dead, that's all I can guarantee.." He sounded winded from the crash, all the air having been knocked out of him. Jehu bellowed out a laugh walking towards the nearly crippled body of his younger brother. "Let's make an ice bath for my little brother here!"
"Ice bath!?! Your trying to kill me you Psycho!!" Johan glared at his brother as he bend over and lifted Johan into his arms. Jim and Hassleberry gave many sympathies to their friend as they watch in horror as Jehu forces Johan into their bathtub filled with ice water making the sore injured bluenette scream bloody murder.
"This week can't end any sooner…" Jim whispers his condolences sending a prayer to god for his friend, who's spirit will be broken long before the week ends. Hassleberry blew his nose dramatically as he had tears in his eyes. "May god rest his soul."
"I…I h-hate all of y-y-you.." Johan stammers his teeth chattering as he was shoulders deep in ice water.
Tuesday
Before their day even started the three males sent their regards for the memorial to their friends. Johan stayed locked in his room trying to make sure he survives another day so Jehu couldn't brutally kill him as he nearly did yesterday.
Their packmates we're gonna be busy working at the construction site that the pack actually owns through Jim's family. It's where if none of the family could get a job outside the pack, they could earn money doing jobs at the construction site. They worked all over Colorado and it wasn't just construction, some of it was even for snow plowing to clear the roads along the highways.
Since the three were gone for the day Jim decided to prepare some good food for the three of them, while Hassleberry went for a stroll in the woods enjoying the nature in his wolf form. He took a deep sigh and rolled around in the dirt and leaves letting the feel of nature graze his fur. 'Ahhh this feels so good…'
After a good ten minutes of rolling around in the leaves the male took to going for a run around the trees yipping and enjoying the feel of nature. Hassleberry the most enjoyed being in nature and wrapped up in it. His ears twitch as he slowed to a stop and sniffed the ground. 'What the… it can't be..' he dragged his nose across the ground not one not two but 4 familiar scents reached his nose.
'Ohhhh shit! What are they doing out here?!?' Hassleberry quickly followed the trail the group took sniffing in the underbrush. His ears start twitching as he heard the group talking. "Hey this is it!" He heard Judai call out.
'No way.. did the find the treehouse?! Craaaaap Johan's gonna be pissed…' He inwardly cringed with fear, knowing Johan's anger. He shifted back and followed the rest of the way on foot as he saw them all enter the tree house.
After about 3 minutes he wandered over and cried out. "What in the Sam Hell are you doing up there!?" He cried out catching Judai's attention as he climbed out on to the balcony the brunette looking surprised to see the army boy there in the woods.
"What are you doing way out here??" Judai called out. Hassleberry looked at the brunette with concern, his body shifting uncentered. His eyes widen in shock as the brunette slipped suddenly and fell over the balcony. Hassleberry raced and caught the brunette before he could hit the ground.
"JUDAI!"
"Sarge!? Oi, Sarge!!" He cried out shaking the now unconscious brunette in his arms as the group rush out of the tree house. "Judai?? Hassleberry is he okay?!?" Blair ran over first looking down at the male as Hassleberry climbed to his feet holding Judai to his chest.
"No time for chit chat. Cmon follow me!" Hassleberry wasn't gonna dawdle and ask questions to the group, he'd get that eventually. Right now he needed to deal with the unconscious brunette. He turned back the way he came and lead the group through the woods.
