Even a man who is pure in the heart,
and says he's prayers by night,
may become a wolf when the wolfs bane blooms,
and the autumn moon is bright
As a man in he's late 30s sits crossed legged on the ground heavy chains wrapped around he's arms legs and ankles, this man whose name is Lawrence "Larry "Talbot keeps repeating the same poem as he can only sit and wait for the inedible to arrive the full autumn moon. A few year ago he's brother had passed away in some kind of hunting accident when Larry got the letter about he's brothers death he was shocked to read he's estranged father asking for he's return, not that Larry hated he's father far from it he still loved him after all that's he's father its they never really got along usually resulting in getting into fights to the point at the young age of 18 Larry had enough and packed he's bags for the first ship to America.
Through he's time in America he learned new things doing odd jobs here and there even working at a water heater company for a while ,in he's time away he slowly lost he's accent to the point you couldn't even tell he wasn't American slightly disappointed by it he continued he's journey going to different states learning and exploring. he's return back home brought back some painful memories to Larry but he wasn't about to falter once he made up he's mind he was determined to fulfill it, After him and he's father sir john re consoled with each other Larry went into town and met Gwen after that everything else was set him buying that silver wolfs cane, Larry Gwen and Gwen's friend jenny meeting up with the fortuneteller Bela to get there palms read, the wolf attacking jenny, everything happened so fast he wasn't even aware of the bite until after he struck the wolf for a third time after that everything went dark.
The next night there was another full moon unlike ever other time the moon rose to be full something felt off about him some kind of itch or something its hard to describe something inside of he's soul he could feel changing, that night he went through he's very first transformation into a werewolf or as some people who know he's wolf side call him the wolf man, that night he killed a gravedigger after that he transformed again and again each night even without the moon being full to trigger the transformation. Slowly loosing hes mind or sanity he told everything to hes father resulting in another argument which ended up having him strapped to a chair by he's own father telling Larry it's all in he's head and after sunrise it will prove to Larry that everything that has happened is all in he's head, Larry having enough of this took matters into he's own hands and begged he's father to take the silver wolfs cane confused sir John agreed to take it with him and left Larry alone.
Not long after he's transformation happened he broke free from he's confinement's going off into the woods as what fate would have it just like how Larry had killed bela when the fortuneteller transformed ,with he's silver wolfs cane he's own father had to do the same thing freeing Larry of this curse with the only way possible death. A few years later 2 grave robbers broke into the talbot family crypt on the night the moon was full somehow the light from the moon was able to bring him back to life and he once again killed this time one of the grave robbers who was the reason why he was brought back to life.
Everything after that has been a blur waking up in the hospital to traveling to Frankenstein castle he's almost there but it's at least another 2 weeks away with no other option he has the old Gypsy women maleva chain him down in this abandoned house that they spotted being chained inside the cellar, maleva is all the way upstairs her door locked with a gun filled with silver bullets Larry was insisted on her having this just in case he somehow breaks free and tries to hurt her. Larry right now only wants death but the wolf in him won't allow him to kill himself hoping Dr Frankenstein can find a way through science that can kill him and make sure nothing can bring him back this time, he doesn't have a lot of options left maleva doesn't have the strength to kill him she originally didn't want to take the gun she doesn't have any kind of practice with guns and isn't sure if she has the strength to fire a gun but it's the best they can do for now.
He glances outside the moon is up but is blocked by the clouds sparing him a few more minutes he leans back against the wall trying to relax himself he thinks about he's life before being bitten that fateful night, how he used to look at the full moon in all its glory but now it brings sadness and death to him and to everyone else who crosses paths with him. He thinks about he's family he's father he later found out passed away not long after Larry's own death sir John was racked with so much guilt he stopped taking care of himself and eventually led into he's death, what would all of them think of him now he's brother who's death was the reason that brought Larry back to England, he's mother who he really never knew after giving birth to Larry she passed away from blood loss due to giving birth to him probably was the reason why him and he's father never got along with one another.
Before he can go further into he's thoughts he's interrupted as a warm sensation crawls all over him starting at he's hands it travels all over hes body the sensation of heat starts warming up until Larry thinks hes literally on fire, bones breaking and reforming never hurting but not a pleasant feeling neither he knows he's about to loose himself to the werewolf. With he's teeth turning into fangs he's mouth turning into a muzzle all he can do is give a slight prayer to not get out as he looses consciousness, the man know as Lawrence "Larry" Talbot is gone now is a creature that walks on 2 legs like a man but is covered from head to toe in fur eyes going from a chocolate brown to a ugly yellow it looks around surveying its area.
As the beast starts to howl and thrash around trying to break break free 3 spirits form around to the beast it cannot see them but the spirits can they look at the wolf with great sadness, they usually try to stay with the wolf to calm it down from its rampage and blood lust, the first spirit takes a hand and places it on the left side of the beast's cheek the second one wraps a arm over the breast trying to bring it into a hug. The third spirit places it's hand on top of the beast's right claw like paw holding it as the thrashing stops the beast looks around it sees no one but feels a warmth spread over him bringing a calming sensation, The 3 spirits smile as the beast calms down little by little not letting its guard go but enough to take a moment the third spirit keeps a steady hold of the paw running a thumb around the knuckles of the beast in a smooth circle motion. The first lays on the beast lap wrapping it's arms around its neck as the the second spirit goes behind the beast phases through the wall and wraps its arms around the beast, the 4 don't move for a while the wolf still trying to figure out what's going on it feels people around it but it cant figure it out where they are the third spirit speaks to the beast don't worry dear son all of us are here no one will hurt you the first spirit speaks up that's right dear Lawrence we have never left your side and we never will places a kiss to the beast for head.
I'm sorry your suffering like this right now this is my fault for getting myself killed I shouldn't have gone to far into the forest by myself and your paying the price for my foolishness, the spirits keep talking to the beast knowing it cannot hear them but trying to give it some comfort they can't always be able to settle wolf down but at times like now when they get the chance to they all settle around the wolf like beast and comfort it into relaxing and not trying to have it kill again. Lawrence the third spirit speaks having probably the most amount of guilt out of all 3 of them I should have believed in you as you tried to tell me about this all I did was pass this off as a foolish matter and tied you to a chair like a madman, son I'll never forgive myself for your suffering none of us blame you not the people who you have killed in this state of mind they know its out of your control. For the rest of the night the wolfman is calmed and settled for the long night the spirits stay the whole night into the morning when the last of the moons rays disappear transforming the wolfman back into Larry Talbot, as maleva comes down stairs she takes precaution sure the sun is up but that doesn't mean its totally safe when your her age you don't go rushing into rooms that held a wild werewolf the whole night.
Plus it was strangely quite sure the first few minutes after the moon was out she heard Larry's werewolf side howling but after that it seemed to stop and eventually the whole house was quite once again praying he somehow didn't get out and that he just gave up she walks to the door which has a silver padlock on it just in case, she slowly opens the door gun in her hand she peeks inside in the far end of the corner there still lays Larry chained up as she left him hes still sound asleep but what she didn't expect to see where 3 spirits surrounding him it looks like they have been there with Larry for sometime. The one spirit she's shocked to see it resembles sir john Larry's father who originally killed Larry and later died from grief and shock after the incident he came looking for her demanding answer to everything which she told him everything from how her son Bela became a werewolf to him attacking jenny and biting Larry to the old werewolf legends that she knows, in the end he looked even more guiltier and was extremely hostile to her blaming her for Larry's suffering and for him having to kill he's own son she agreed with him she was to weak to end Bela's suffering and for that he inflicted the curse to another person who was just trying to do the right thing trying to save someone.
The 3 spirits notice her presence the first to move was sir johns spirt expecting another tongue lashing she stands her ground ready but surprisingly instead her lays hes ghostly hand on her shoulder looking at him he whispers to her its alight I'm not here to yell at you instead i wanna thank you on behalf of me and my family we thank you, maleva not expecting that looks at him with curiosity finding it hard to speak with the lump in her throat its her fault all of this is happing to Larry's suffering every full moon not being able to have a normal life or have a chance to have a family because she couldn't end the curse when she had the chance Bela had given her plenty of chances but she couldn't bring herself to kill her own son. Sensing her wonder he goes on we thank you for keeping him from escaping when he transforms into hes other side and for helping him with hes quest to end this curse once and for all, plus for being there for him not making him think hes going crazy and giving him someone who understands what hes going through all i did was make him feel like a lunatic and tie him to a godamn chair I know I deeply hurt him buy not believing in what he was telling me.
Maleva now understanding what he means can only give a nod not trusting herself to speak she wouldn't abandoned Larry when he needed help once they find a way to kill him she going to personally make sure he cannot be brought back for a second time by cremating hes body after that way the curse and everyone's suffering can finally end, the other 2 spirits Larry's mother and brother join her they both give her their thanks for taking care of Larry before disappearing right before sir john goes maleva finally gets the courage to speak to him he doesn't blame you sir john he never has he feels responsible for your death caused by the grief he made after hes death, you are a good father and he wanted you to take that cane with you hoping you could end hes suffering no parent wants to see there kids having to go through any of this. I promise ill make sure he can finally be at peace and never be brought back again to life this i wont fail you have my word sir john he nods he's head in understanding thank you and bela told me to tell you he loves you and that hes looking down on you always until you can join him in the after life, with that he to disappears leaving her and Larry alone she knows hes famiy will always be with him even if he doesn't know it yet and Bela and her late husband are with her as well until her time comes where she can be reunited with them. Until the time when the 2 of them can cross over her and larry have things to do while still alive and breathing she determined to end larrys suffering and to fix her mistakes that she has made in her life,the trip to the castle so far has been a long one but the two of them are determined to get there and see this mysterious Dr Frankenstein.
She goes to Larry unlocking him out of he's restraints now that he isn't a danger she leaves him after placing a blanket and a pillow and leaning him to he's side he usually is knocked out for a while after he's transformations depending if he's out all night hunting or staying still like last night. As she goes back upstairs to get some rest she looks back at Larry one more time he actually has a peaceful look in he's face instead of the depressed looking face he know sports all the time The way you walk was thorny through no fault of your own,but as the soil enters the soil,the river enters the sea, so tears run into predestined end. Your suffering is over, now you will find peace for eternity.
