Chapter 5:

It was around 7:30 at night. The full moon was just barely rising over the clouds in the sky. Its silverish light was lighting up the town like daylight.

Kyt was in her room, staring out her window at the rising moon. "Aww.. no.. not again…" she prepared herself for the burning pain and the uncontrolled instincts as they flooded her senses.

Dib was in his room, pacing the floor again and talking on his laptop at the same time, talking to the Swollen Eyeballs. "Ok, all evidence points to either a very large feral wolf that has somehow gotten into the town, or a werewolf. The only thing that doesn't fit the profile is the transforming under a full moon. Last night was not a full moon, yet the wolf was present. Therefore, this is either a werewolf that is really weird… or it's just a wolf."

The Swollen Eyeball guy looks at Dib through the computer and nods. "Very well Agent MothMan, when you find more information, let us know."

Dib nods "Alright Agent GreyLunar, I will get on it right away and report my findings soon."

"Very well, GreyLunar out." He disconnects.

Dib sets his laptop on his bed and walks over to his closet, getting out his nightvision goggles. "Ok, this will be different from trying to catch Zim. Maybe harder, but I got to. Our safety may depend on it!" He gets ready and climbs out his window, darts across the yard, and into the streets.

Zim was down in his lab working on fixing the chip that GIR had eaten. GIR was upstairs staring at the TV and eating poopcorn. The TV wasn't even on, only the blank screen shown back at him. "WEEHOOO!!! YAY!!!" He falls silent again, staring at the screen intently.

Zim wasn't paying attention to what was going on outside, or upstairs.

Then there was a long, low and eerie howl ringing to the full moon above. The wolf was stalking through the town, looking for food, stalking the two- legged creatures she was half related to. She moved fast enough, silent in the shadows she blended in with. Her fiery amber eyes glowed slightly and revealed her position.

Dib paused when he heard the howl, then moves cautiously towards it, looking around him for any signs of movement.

The wolf could see a human; he had his back to her, and was trying to hide in the shadows. The human in her recognized the human as the guy from class who actually said 'hi' to her, the one the others called 'crazy', the one named Dib. The human in her was fighting the wolf and urging her not to kill him. The wolf ignored her human half and took off after the human 'Dib'.

Dib could hear the clacking of claws on the street and turned to see the wolf running right at him. "Ahh!" He dodges her in time and goes running down the street, faster than he had ever run before. He runs to the nearest house, ran up the walkway and burst through the unlocked door. He slams it behind him and turns.

GIR was staring at the TV still, not noticing there was someone in the house. Alarms started sounding in the lab, making Zim jump and accidentally drop his tools on the ground. "What the..?" He looked at his computer, which was flashing an 'Intruder Alert'. "Ack! An intruder!" He hurries upstairs, cursing to himself, figuring that it was probably just GIR again, and he left the door open. He came up from his lab and saw… "DIB!!! What are you doing here! Get out!!!" He takes out his laser and glares at Dib.

Dib looks at Zim and pounces on him, pulling him roughly aside. "Listen Zim, this time I am NOT after you. There's something out there and it's trying to get me!"

Zim pushes Dib away and backs up, still clutching his lasers. "I'm not that stupid Human. Get out!"

Then there was a sniffing and scratching at the door. Something pushed against it and hit it hard, trying to bust it down.

Zim backed up. "What.. is it?"

Dib looked at the door, fearfully and backed up as well. "That wolf from last night… I think it's a werewolf…"

Zim looked at Dib confused. "Werewolf?"

Dib nodded. "Yeah.. Wolfish-human monster that eats everything and likes to kill things… especially aliens."

Zim glared back at Dib. "If that's the case, why is it after you!?"

All of a sudden, the scratching and banging ceased. The wolf moved away from the door and left to find something easier to catch. She chose a dog, a German shepherd, about as big as herself, which was behind a fence, barking its head off. She jumped the six-foot fence and landed in the yard with the dog. The dog cowered away and started running away but was trapped. She was on the dog in a minute and tore out its throat, killing it instantly. The smell of the blood and death driving her instincts mad as she devours parts of the carcass.

Dib gulps and walks to the window and looks outside. "Man…"

Zim was glaring at Dib from where he stood near the kitchen. "Its gone now.. Get out DIB, or I'll use you for tests… horrible, painful tests." The claws come down from the ceiling, threateningly.

Dib backs up and opens the door, and hurries out, running down the street and not looking back. He didn't hear anyone follow and reaches his house without incident. He climbed to his room and shuts his window. "Phew… oh man.. Ack, no! I forgot to get any pictures or anything… hmm… I think living through that was better though…"

Zim narrowed his eyes and goes to the toilet in his kitchen and flushed himself down into his lab to continue his work.

As the full moon set that night, the wolf wandered back home, tired and wanting sleep. It jumped up the two floors to her room and through the open window. She goes into the closet, turns in a circle three times, and falls asleep as the sun rose to start the next day.
