Lycanthrope Tales

Part 3. May 25, 1375 AD.

"So…umm, exactly what are two ladies such as yourselves doing out in the dangerous woods of 20th century Scotland?"

Both Tashina and Marie laughed at this question at the same time as if it was a funny joke. Spoon and Cooper were more confused then before.

"Oh, that's a good one!" said Tashina. "Don't you mean 13th century Scotland?" At this point Cooper could no longer control himself. He burst out laughing had to lean on a tree to help him not to fall.

"Yes, that's what he meant to say!" He said. "Fuckin' right he meant to say 13th century Scotland instead of 20th century Scotland. So what year is it anyways. Give us the exact date. Throw in a couple of kegs while your at it. Beer from the 13th century. Yup. That's gonna happen." Tashina and Marie looked very confused and Tashina spoke up again.

"It's May the 25 1375 AD. Is there anything else you would like to know?" Cooper dropped to the ground in a sprawl and Spoon just paled. He grinned at the girls making the best out of a bad situation.

"Oh don't worry about him, he's very resilient." Spoon said. "Someone should probably get a cold wet rag for his head thought, he's gonna have a helluva headache when he wakes up."

Tashina got to work on Cooper and Marie, who had been fairly quiet and observing throughout the whole ordeal, finally spoke.

"Tashina, you'll be alright if I leave you here to take care of him for a few minutes wont you? If you need any help, just call for me." Tashina nodded and got back to work and Marie motioned for Spoon to follow her. They walked for a few minutes in silence, Spoon kept sneaking looks at her very discreetly, and then she out of the blue, shoved him into a little hideout of shrubbery. Spoon, pleased but kind of alarmed that she really wanted to do this spoke his mind.

"UMM… listen, I don't think we're really that far along yet…I think we should take it slow." He was very happy with how mature he sounded.

"In your dreams, lover boy." She said sarcastically. Then she became more serious. "I know who you are." She said. "Well I don't know who you are, but I know you're not from this time period. I'm not either. I don't even know how it happened. All I know is that one minute I was walking in the woods of 20th century Scotland, and the next, I was… well, here. With her." She motioned her thumb back towards where their comrades were. "You have to be careful around her though, she actually is from here. From now I mean."

"So you really don't want to fuck?" Spoon asked. Then seeing the look of rage on her face he grinned. "Just joking! Ha…ha. So, what's your real name? How old are you? Does it make you -376 years old or whatever when you travel back in time?"

"I don't think it makes you negative anything, I'm 21, and my real name is Liz. I'm not even going to answer the first question because I might encourage you."

"That's a pretty name." He said. "I like it."

"I'm sure you like anything on two legs with a large enough rack on her ribs." She replied saucily. "Yes, I've seen you try to check me out. The robe does a pretty good job of hiding everything doesn't it?"

"Damn." He muttered. So she had noticed.

Meanwhile, where Cooper had passed out:

Cooper woke up, and still laying on his back where he had fallen, he opened one eye tentatively. He saw Tashina bending over him, her long black hair hiding her face from view. She pulled his Dog Tags from underneath his shirt and read them. He closed his eye.

"Shit," He thought. "She's gonna know that I'm not from this time period… this is so fuckin' bone. Wait a minute, I'm still not convinced these things didn't just escape from the local nut-house and forget to change their clothes after their Romeo and Juliet play and are trying to play an elaborate prank. Which, by the way, wont work on me."

She got up and walked over to his pile of stuff. He pretended to wake up.

"Where am I?" He said in a sleepy voice.

She jumped and turned around, surprised. He had scared her. He smiled.

"Shh… are you able to get up? Can you walk?" She asked. There was a note of urgency in her voice. He got up. "Follow me." She said. She led him in the opposite direction that Spoon and Marie had gone.

"So… what is it that you wanted to talk to me about, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but you sounded like this was really importa-"

"SHH!" She shoved him up against a very tall tree. His eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected her to be so strong. "I know who you are, and I know that you're not from this time. I'm not either!" She said this all very quickly and it took Cooper a couple seconds to figure out what she had said.

"You mean… we really are in 1375 AD?" She nodded.

"And there's no way back?" She shook her head.

"That's what I don't know yet. I've been trapped here for about a year. I haven't found a way back. Marie is from this time period though, She's some sort of princess from England or something, or so she says. You have to be careful around her. If we are in the past, then her meeting people from the future could damage history."

"I hadn't thought of that. So, how did you get here?"
