"Worufu."
"What Serena?" asked Luna as she and Serena
walked down the street.
"I think I will call him Worufu. You know, the
wolf. That is what I want to call him," said Serena as
she looked down at the cat for approval of the name.
When she had woken up this mourning, and had found the
wolf gone, she had been a little disappointed. When
she had asked Luna about him, all she got for an
answer was he left.
"Worufu? Where did you come up with that
name?"
"Um well, when I got online this mourning,
Miko had sent me an e-mail with this site address in
it. It was a pretty cool site. Anyways, it had this
translation page, and well I wanted a good name for
him. But all I could think of was wolf, so I
translated it into a different language and this is
what I got. I like it. Don't you?
"I guess, but I really doubt you will ever see
him again. Sere, do you plan on telling anyone about
this?"
"Well, I guess I thought I would tell Andrew.
I mean I tell him everything else. I might as well
tell him this. I guess Amy too. When she comes back.
Why?" asked Serena; a confused look on her face.
"Well, he is known for all the attacking. If
people found out that you could control him, it might
put one or both of you in danger, and that beast is
not worth the trouble," said Luna with a serious look
on her face.
"I guess," answered Serena as she looked down
at the sidewalk. She didn't really agree with Luna,
even though Luna did make a good point. "I think he
would worth the trouble," she thought to herself, not
daring to voice her opinion in front of Luna. For some
odd reason, Luna seemed to really not trust Worufu.
It didn't take long for the pair to reach the
arcade. When Serena entered, Luna opted to stay
outside and relax in the warm sun.
"Hey Serena!" called Andrew from behind the
counter. "Did you here?" he asked as she sat down on a
stool in front of him. "They saw that wolf again last
night. He was really close to here. Someone saw him
leaving the park last night. Man I was pretty worried.
You go through that park don't you? I thought that he
might have gotten you. You didn't see him did you?"
"Well, I. Umm," stuttered Serena as looked
into Andrew's worried face. "Yes, I did. When I was in
the park. He came up from behind and…"
"Sere! He didn't attack you did he? I knew I
should have offered to take you home. Are you all
right? Did he hurt you? Did…"
"Andrew calm down. He didn't attack. Well he
almost did, but he stopped. It was really weird. He
pounced on me. But then he backed off. You should have
seen it. The look in his eyes was, it was like he
couldn't believe that he had just tried to kill me. It
was so weird," said Serena. Looking at Andrew she saw
he didn't quite believe what he was hearing. Neither
did she. It was still very odd for her.
Hearing the jingle of the bell above the door,
Serena turned and saw Darien enter the arcade. As she
watched him, she noticed that there was something not
quite the same about him. She didn't know how she
knew, only that there was something different.
"Darien! Did you hear? Man they saw that
killer wolf again last night. Can you believe it?"
"Some one saw him?" asked Darien, the sound of
worry ever so slight in his tone.
"Yea, some one did. Leaving the park. Why?"
"Just wondering. Was anybody hurt?"
"No, but Sere here saw him. She was just
telling me. Go on. Tell him about it."
"Well," started Serena looking to see if she
really wanted to tell Darien. But when she saw that he
was listening to her, She repeated what she had just
told Darien. "And like I was telling Andrew, it was so
weird."
"That is kind of strange. Maybe something
about you made him change his mind. Like maybe he
didn't feel like having meatballs for dinner."
"Oh shut up Darien. If you are just going to
make fun of me, then I will just tell Andrew what
happened," huffed Serena as she turned and faced
Andrew.
"Well, after he pounced, he backed off. I was
so scared. I couldn't move. They really weren't lying
when they said this thing is huge. His back was just
below my shoulders. That makes that about 4 feet
wouldn't you say? Anyways, after backing off, he
started acting like a housedog. I mean he whined, and
was on his back, tail between his legs. He was just so
friendly. I was still kind of nervous, but when I
stood, nothing happened. So I left. I told him to
stay, but the thing is he followed me home. He scared
me so bad. I was out of my balcony, and he jumped up.
I mean that is one big jump. He acted really sweet
again, but I had to go in. I thought it best to leave
him out there, but when I got up this mourning, he was
gone. I was actually sad that he left. Is that weird
or what?" asked Serena. Looking at Andrew, she saw
that he couldn't quit grasp that the horrible
nighttime killer could act sweet.
"Maybe you just brought out something, some
wanting to not attack," said Darien before Andrew
could reply to her. Looking, expecting some type of
smirk, or look of joking, Serena saw a face of dead
serious, eyes of truth. "Maybe something about you
brought him to his senses, made it able for him to
take control of the mind that wanted to kill.
Serena, you bring out the best in people,
maybe you brought out the true soul of the wolf, the
gentle part of him. You do it with everyone else you
meet, and I wouldn't doubt that you also did it with
that wolf."
"D-do you really think that Darien? Do you
think that I brought out the true side of Worufu?" she
stuttered. That idea was almost harder to believe then
the fact that that she wasn't hurt last night. But
somehow it made sense to her. Deep in her soul she
could feel that it was true. She knew somehow that she
hadn't been killed because something about her had
made the wolf stop, and turn away from her.
"Worufu?" said Darien, confused.
"Um, well that's what I named him. I didn't
want to call him wolf all the time, and Worufu sounds
so much better."
"Worufu. I think it is a good name," said
Darien as he walked out of the arcade, before she
could respond to his sudden change in personality.
*Darien*
I left before she could say anything else. I
don't understand why I had put my two cents in, but I
just couldn't help myself. What I had said was true.
She did bring out the best in people. "Yea, she does,
but you just shove it away and show your worst every
time she is around," said a voice from the back of my
head. "You know she could break your walls, and you do
your best not to let her see the real you."
"The real me? You mean to beast? Oh, that's a
wonderful idea. I'll just go up to her and tell her
'Sere, you know all those attacks that have been
happening? Well I'm a werewolf, and I have been doing
them all. I even tried to kill you the other night.
But hey, I love you, and I want to know if you love me
too.' Oh yes that would work out just peachy!" I
shouted at myself in my head.
"Ha."
"Ha?! I know I can come with a better reply
then that."
"You just admitted that you love her. You love
Serena."
"W-w-what? I-I-I did not. I don't love her do
I?"
"Yes you do. You have for a long time, and now
you that you have told yourself, you need to tell
her."
I didn't answer myself. Instead I thought
about how I hated that little voice that lives in my
head and always knows something I don't, and is always
correct, and always wins any argument I start with it.
I also thought about what he had said. "You love her.
You love Serena." I knew he was right. I had loved her
for a long time. Since I had first met her.
'Life is so complicated' I sighed to myself.
Looking at my watch I saw that I had been walking for
a long time, a very long time. It was almost time for
the sunset, and I needed to find a place where I could
change. Looking around I walked into an empty ally and
waited for the change to happen.
It wasn't painful. Like when you see movies
and the guy is rolling around in pain and screaming.
No, it wasn't like that. Fur grew thick and heavy, and
bones rearranged to that of a wolf's form. My face
lengthened, and a tail grew. All in all it took only
five minutes at the most.
When it was done, I waited. I waited for the
other half of my soul to emerge. It happened every
night. He was strong, and he would emerge and push me
away. Push me away so he could hunt. That was why
there were attacks. I had no control when I first
transformed. Usually I would win out after a while,
but sometimes it came close, to close. As I stood
there I felt him stirring, felt him awaken from his
daytime slumber.
I waited.
Well? I hope i will have part 5 out soon. I
don't know. I have some ideas for part 6- the end, but
i just need this next part. Wish me luck.
