AUTHOR'S NOTE: Look on my profile for 2 links to what I think Cassie
would look like as a wolf.
(((((((-)))))))
"You're a...a...werewolf?" Danny said, his eyes wide with shock, unknowingly turning back into his regular self. "How?"
"Long story, make short," she said. "Then you tell me about...you."
"Fine."
"Okay, when I was 12 I was bit by this dog, ok?" she said. "Well, it seems that this dog was infected with a radioactive virus, which I found out later. That night, I started having seizures and I got a fever. My parents took me took the hospital, they gave me some antibiotics, and I was sent home. I felt fine for a few days...until I accidentally turned into a wolf when a werewolf showed up at our house. That werewolf I just fought, in fact. I fought it, and defeated it. I've been fighting werewolves ever since. Okay, so what's your story?"
Cassie said this very fast, so it took Danny a minute to soak up what she said.
"It all started one day when my parents made a machine called the Ghost- Portal," Danny started. "They wanted to get into the ghost world, but when they tried to start it, it didn't work, so they gave up. I decided to take a closer look though. Once inside, I accidentally pushed the 'on' button. It felt like I got electrocuted or something. So, when I woke up, I realized I had ghost powers." He then looked at the time. "C'mon. My parents will be asleep by..."
Suddenly, Danny went rigid. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Danny!" she exclaimed. "Oh, shoot. I forgot! He was bit by that werewolf. This is NOT good..."
She turned into her wolf form and grabbed the back of his suit with her jaws. As gently as she could, she dragged him to his house, which was not very far, perhaps a block or so away. She trotted to his house and gently laid him down on the steps. She turned back into her regular form and silently jiggled the door. It was locked.
Lucky for her, she had a hairclip in her pocket that she used when she was out werewolf hunting and went back home. She picked the lock and silently opened the door. She dragged Danny to the stairs and stopped.
'Okay...' she thought. 'How am I going to do this? I guess I'll have to try to carry him.' She grimaced at the thought, then picked him up and carried him up to his room.
'This dude is pretty light,' she thought. 'Must be the ghost in him.' She walked into the room, pushing the door open with her foot.
'Geez,' she thought as she laid him down on his bed. 'Doesn't he ever clean this place?'
Suddenly, Danny started to shake uncontrollably, whimpering, and growling...like a dog. He was still asleep, so Cassie decided to quickly go over to her house and check up on werewolf syndromes. She turned into a wolf and bounded quickly, yet silently, down the stairs, out the door and onto the street. Since her room was on the first floor, and she always kept her window open, she leaped through it, ran to grab a book about werewolves her mom wrote, and ran back out onto the street to Danny's house.
As Cassie sat in his room, him still shivering and whining, she opened the book. Like before, her finger skimmed the index until she found the word 'Symptoms'. She turned to the page. There was only one short paragraph.
"The symptoms of a werewolf are first insomnia and/or restless dreaming. Soon follows loss of appetite, and he/she is angry most of the time. One of only known cures is death by a silver bullet. See page 111 for more info," it said.
'There must be another cure!' Cassie thought feverishly. She flipped through the pages. She stopped at page 111.
"ALPHA & BETA WEREWOLVES: The relationship between Alpha and Beta werewolves is a complex one. Once a subject is bitten by a werewolf, his or her life and death are doomed to the werewolf curse. The victim does, however, have some hope - as long as they themselves do not taste of human blood, the curse is reversible. If the Alpha werewolf is killed - through some action of the Beta - the Beta's curse is broken. It is important to note that whether the Beta werewolf was bitten by the Alpha werewolf himself or by another Beta, it is the Alpha who must be destroyed - the source of the original tainted blood. It is also an interesting note that since Betas and Alphas share common blood, an Alpha cannot physically harm a Beta of his own bloodline by his own hands without inflicting the same injury upon himself. However, if a Beta is harmed or killed by another, it does not affect the Alpha." Cassie took a breath of relief. There's hope after all. Hopefully Danny's urge for human blood won't be too strong. But if something DOES happen, she'll be there. After Danny, who was now the Beta werewolf, wakes up, they'll have to find the Alpha, whose pack name was Kamerine. Hopefully Danny will cooperate.
