Werelupe
by Miss_Laddy
It started one night, in Neopia Central.
Charmy and I decided to take one last walk before moving back to Mystery Island, away from our vacationing house. So we walked... and walked... and walked...
I looked up, exaspered. Charmy kept saying "Just another block, please?!", so our short walk became an oddyssey. Well, not yet, but was about to.
"Full moon..." I murmured.
Charmy looked up as well.
"Bad omen." I scowled.
The rainbow Zafara looked at me with a strange, sarcastic look on her face.
"I thought you said you weren't superstitious!" she said.
I frowned. She didn't need to be rude about it. I restrained myself from replying. The full moon just gave me a bad feeling. It seemed to be watching me. Spying on me, you could say. I hated to be spied on. Or I was just being paranoid... One will never know for sure.
"Mom, isn't that Tdyans' house?" Charmy asked, tugging my sleeve and pointing to a Neohome.
"I... don't know."
No, I didn't know. But I was slightly interested as to how Charmy knew. I just shrugged it off, dismising my thoughts as paranoid. Tdyans was, after all, leader of the guild I was in, the NTAG. I assumed Charmy had met her once or something.
"What the--" I strained my look. Something was moving through their yard. For once, I was glad there was moonlight.
Sneaking towards the house Charmy said to be Tdyans' were two Lupes. One blood-red, the other pitch-black. I knew, out of nowhere, they wanted to go into the house. Looking down, Charmy had sensed the same thing. She hopped over the fence. I, being the idiotic owner I was, nearly screamed to Charmy to come back. But I soon saw what she was doing.
She hopped on the red Lupe's back and started punching him in the head furiously.
I couldn't stay still a moment longer. I lunged towards the black one.
Catching up with him, I could see he slit through a window. I approach carefully and try my best to go through, but fell on the floor noisily.
Two yellow eyes transfixed me from the darkness and a low growl was soon to follow. I gulped and jumped to my feet. By mere chance, I saw a shift of shadows. Assuming the Lupe was going to dash towards me, I threw myself to the side, even though I expected myself to be paralyzed with fear.
My instinct was right. The Lupe hit the wall in full, but got up as if nothing had happened. He looked more like a rabid wolf and by his eyes, I doubted he was in control of what he did. Then, he raised on his back legs.
"Good faeries...." I whisper, bewildered "A werelupe..."
He paced slowly towards me, adjusting to the new style of walking. He still growled and drool fell on the floor, distracting my attention. He raised his claw, for the decisive blow. I panic. My legs weren't working anymore. Out of reflex, I backed up, unfortunately tripping and falling on my back. Now, out of fear more than anything, I scattered to my feet and ran towards the nearest escape root: the door. But with a paw, the werelupe threw me to my side, into the wall.
I get up into a sitting position, against the wall. He lunges nose-first towards me, apparently trying to bite my head off! I grabbed his jaw and with abnormal strenght, kept him just inches away from my face. I scowled, feeling his awful breath. And his drool was all over me... yuck.
So I screamed. Loud. I was running out of energy, I couldn't bear much longer. I still screamed, as if the energy for it came from somewhere else.
The noise attracted the owner of the house. Charmy was right it was Tdyans.
"Get the police! NOW!" I yelled, as she nodded, shocked. She disappeared from the doorframe, hopefully to phone the police.
As a spur of the moment, I raised my legs at his chest-level and hit him as hard as possible. But the position I was in, almost slipping, and his steadiness, made the maneuvre not being worth it. So I grabbed a chair and tried keeping him away with it.
"Blast you, why don't you give up?!" I threw the chair at him, closing my eyes and expecting the worst.
I heard growls. A yelp... a thump. What?!
Openning my eyes, I could see the werelupe on the floor, a small dart on his hind leg. Looking towards the doorframe, I saw a Chia with grey hair, glasses and a labcoat, carrying a tranquiliser gun.
I drop on the floor, my hair getting in my eyes and feeling cold sweat all over myself. What do you know.
"Miss, you have fought one of the most dangerous thieves out there!" a Chia policeman said, while moving his slubber towards me.
"Oh..." I said, not feeling in the mood to talk. "Any reward for that?"
I felt tired. Looking down at my hands, I froze. My right one was bitten. Blood had fell from it onto the floor. Everything blurred together. All the colours turned into blackened shadows.
***
My eyes open large. I let go of the grip to my sheath and look around, not moving. A dream... It was all just a dream. I wipe my forehead of sweat and take a deep breath. I was exhausted, for some reason.
I get up and dressed, feeling that I had no need for such dreams anymore. Despite my habit of sleeping until noon, I went downstairs.
In the livingroom, Charmy was playing on a Neoboy, flinching now and then.
"Hey, Mom!" she grinned and looked up at me. "Since today is the last day we're gonna stay here, could we PLEASE go for a walk?" she asked.
I close my eyes tight, to think. My head still wasn't in order.
"Where exactely, Charmy?" I asked, forcing a smile.
"Oh... dunno... around..."
My right hand suddenly became numb.
"Sure... why not?"
THE END
Author's Note: Eh... yeah, I actually had that dream. I don't exactely remember the struggle between me and the werelupe, but I do remember the part where he collapses on the floor, sedated. Besides that, everything is as much as possible written acording to my dream.
