Chapter 3. Two of a kind.
As he descended the stairs he heard the sound again followed by bursts of laughter. When he got to the kitchen he heard more laughter. He peeked in and saw Remus, Sirius, Denell and Jade all trying to catch a particularly mischievous gnome who ran about the room carrying one of Remus' new shiny brown shoes. They each tried to grab the little creature. Remus pulled his wand out, but just as he cast the immobulis charm the gnome threw the shoe at him taking the brunt of the spell. Harry grabbed out his wand and sneaked in and sent a stupefy charm at the gnome and Remus grabbed his shoe then took hold of the little bliter and set it in the garden. Remus returned and took Denell in his arms. He nibbled at her neck then smiled wider then Harry had ever seen him smile before.
"Sirius when is the full moon this month?" Harry asked innocently, but Remus' face turned to ashen. The girl smiled and looked at Remus.
"When is it?" Remus asked.
"Tonight, Remus?" Sirius called to him but he had already stalked away, Denell looked at the others in a puzzled manner.
"What was that all about?" Denell asked Sirius.
"I'm sure that Remus would rather he tell you himself." Sirius played the diplomat.
"Either tell me or the kid goes bald." Denell stated as she aimed her wand at Harry. Harry looked at her then tried to cover his head with his hands.
"He's a lycanthrope, you know a were..." Sirius tried to explain.
"Yes, I know very well what a lycanthrope is. Now if you'll excuse me." Denell ran out the door and after Remus.
She followed him to the edge of a near by entrance to a forest. "Remus, please stop. We need to talk." She kicked a rock hard then kept following the quick pace of the man she was falling for. "I'm not scared of you, you know."
"You should be. I'm not what I seem to be. I'm something dark and evil." Remus grimaced as he looked at Denell's beautiful face.
"Remus, don't be ridiculous, you could never be any thing but kind and gentle. Now come back with me. If you don't want to be in the mansion then we can go to the tree house. I'll make sure that you smile again soon." Denell pleaded with Remus.
"You don't understand I... I have to go. Don't follow me." Remus stated sternly to the woman he was finding very appealing and knew he was falling for her.
"You can't make me stop following you." Denell looked at him with an obstinent glare.
"Suit yourself. I can't force you to stay." Remus' voice held a hint of sorrow.
Back at the mansion Sirius sat watching Jade as she played chess with him. He was trying to get her to look at him, but when ever she did he would make a strange face and cause her to burst into laughter forgetting her move. Harry stood nearby watching as his Godfather teased Jade, and then let his leg slide against hers under the table. Harry felt his jaw lock in anger. He had to get out of the kitchen and away from them.
He walked to the parlor and found Stacie sitting watching television in a long blue button front dress. It fit her form perfectly, pulling snuggly across her large breasts. A fast paced song came on and she stood and started to sway to the music. Harry's mouth fell open when she turned and took the clip out of her shoulder length hair letting it fall about her shoulders. Harry smiled, it wasn't Jade that he had dreamt about, and it was Stacie. He stepped forward and grabbed her to him and devoured her lips, she didn't fight him off she just melted into his kisses and then returned his with a deeper kiss of her own.
Sirius was beginning to get worried about Remus and Denell when he noticed that the moon was up.
Remus walked deeper into the forest, with Denell not far behind. When he noticed the moon was up and full his eyes became wide with fear as he saw the woman he cared for coming closer to him.
"Stop Denell, please the moon is up and I'm a ..." Remus was about to tell her what he was when she looked horrified at the moon and fell to the ground with a piercing scream. Remus thought she had seen his eyes change but as he watched her lying on the ground, he soon knew why she had screamed, it wasn't from fear. It was from pain, Remus watched as the young woman's body seemed to distend and he knew they were two of a kind. He sat on the ground next to the beautiful writhing form and began his own agony of change. He had never been with another werewolf, and this one was a ripe female. His mind raced with possibilities.
After the change was complete the pair of werewolves sat trying to get their strength. When their weakness had passed, they circled one another growling and snarling, Denell kept her eyes on Remus as he circled her. She showed her sharp canines in a silent threat (Go ahead buddy just try it.) The stand off went on for most of the night. Denell would run a little then turn and protect her flanks from the menacing male werewolf. She had no desire to be bred by a werewolf that hadn't shown his worth. They ran on, when they came to a clearing Remus gave a mournful howl, Denell couldn't resist she had to answer him. Morning found the two lying naked in the forest. Denell woke and stretched then walked to the nearby glade and walked into the chilly clear water. It was so beautiful; she wished she could build a house right near the sparkling pool. After washing off the night's dirt and grime she left the pool and looked for her clothing. After looking for a while she found her jeans and tank top. Her underwear was mysteriously missing. She put on her jeans and was about to slip into her top when a pair of strong wet arms closed around her, pulling her in tight to a firm nude male body.
"Damn your cold!" Denell jumped and tried to get out of the strong embrace.
"The better to warm you, my dear." Remus teased as he turned her to face him; his lips crushed hers in a domineering kiss. When he heard her whimper he softened his grip and began stroking her bottom lip with his tongue. Her mouth opened on its own accord and soon they were kissing so deeply that they felt like their bodies had become fused. Remus' hands roved over Denell's naked torso and cupped her breasts gently. After their kiss ended Remus stood looking at the beautiful woman who had made him feel so alive and wanted. He stepped forward again and pulled her to him. "Shall we go to Grandma's house?" He smiled then pulled on his jeans and tee.
Sirius stood at the window in the kitchen and looked out across the pond toward the forest. He then began to pace, again for the tenth time since his friend and the young witch had fled into the night. His nails were nearly gone and his face looked haggard with worry.
"Sirius, please don't worry. Denell can take care of herself very well. She is very strong and cunning, not to mention has a natural intelligence. They will be fine." Jade stated to Sirius trying not to explain how she knew her daughter would be fine.
Flash back...
Jade drove her old Dodge pickup toward their house in the outlaying area of Montana, Jeremy and Stacie were sleeping and nine year old Denell was riding in the front passenger seat. As they rounded a corner a large canine ran out in front of them and Jade couldn't maneuver the large vehicle fast enough to miss the animal. The creature lay bleeding and mournful in the middle of the gravel road.
"Mom, you killed a dog!" Denell screeched and jumped out of the four door pickup. She ran to the dog and was about to touch it, when her mother yelled at her.
"Denell Mariah Garnet what are you thinking. Get away from that beast and back in this car, this instant." Just as the child turned to look at her mother the large animal lunged at Denell's small leg and bit hard. Jade ran toward her child and the attacking animal and pulled out her 44 caliber pistol, she fired and the large canine let go of her daughter. As they rushed back to the truck Jade noticed that the animal was changing, she noticed that its paw was changing into a hand. She grabbed her solid silver wedding cake cutter she had kept after her first marriage and plunged it into the gaping wound that the bullet had made the gory explosion of flesh, hair and mucous made Jade vomit. When she was able to stand she got her child in the car and decided that she would make sure that her daughter didn't turn out like the poor creature she had just disposed of.
Through the falling weeks, Jade read everything she could get her hands on about werewolves, moon cycles, eclipses, and lunar irregularities. She was bound and determined to be ready when the next full moon came. She erected a stone building at the back of her farm house and had sheets of pure silver made to panel it with, pure silver nails and screws were used to fasten the paneling to the walls. A single light was in the middle of the ceiling and covered by a silver mesh cover. The floor was covered in silver as was the door. She grew wolfsbane, monk's hood, deadly nightshade, and mandrake in her garden. She bought and raised cattle to have on hand for hearts and she put extremely strong locking charms on the farm house as well as the shack.
When the night of Denell's first full moon came she locked the poor child in and inserted a small silver tube to breath oxygen into the tomb like building. She put a silencing charm on the building and hoped that her child would not be in to much pain. From then on they knew how to contain and ease the change. Silver, silver was the key.
