Chapter Seven

"Where are they!?" The Ice Queen bellowed angrily. The Queen was a very beautiful mysterious woman with a slender body. Her hair was a pure white and her face shimmered. Her clothing was elaborate with blue and white silk.

The trolls scurried behind the punks to hide from her fury.

"Who are they?!"

Spike stepped forward, "We're helping you. Well actually we're trying to get our hands on that Wolf guy."

The trolls were bickering behind them, but finally Burley and Bluebell lungded Blabberwort forward, "We thought they would be of some service." She bowed sheepishly.

The Queen eyed the man and his companions, "Very well, but they can not hurt any of them. Especially Wolf."

"Yes," Came a new voice above them; everyone looked up at the staircase, a tall man, handsome in the best sense of the word, with dark hair down to his chin, "And you cannot harm the woman, she's very important." He smiled evilly.

********************

Wolf awoke with the pain of cramps. As he held his strong stomach, he was worrying about what he was going to do during his cycle. Usually at home, in New York, he would be locked up in handcuffs and tied to the bed, (don't get to excited ladies) but here he could do nothing. He would probably murder his family if he didn't get help.

"Virginia. Virginia," He woke her gently, "We must find shelter, the full moon is tonight."

Virginia quickly got up as Wolf woke his daughter, she searched for a town or cottage, any place, "I can't believe we forgot."

"Daddy, I have a stomach ache." Penelope whimpered.

"Oh, I'm sorry cub. We'll find somewhere you can rest." He picked her up and walked beside Virginia, "We must hurry, its coming on fast."

*****************

The three walked into a town quite casually, but something was wrong, no one was outside.

All of a sudden, they heard a boy cry, "WOLF! WOLF!!"

Wolf snapped his head toward the voice and growled, "Oh no."

Virginia wrapped herself around him to protect her family.

All the people in the village gathered outside and ran in their direction. They screamed out when the villagers were upon them, but when they passed right by, they looked at eachother in confusion.

Wolf followed the crowd to a part of town, where a little boy was on the ground laughing.

"Peter! Some day there really will be a wolf and none of us will believe you!" His father lectured.

The boy continued to laugh.

Everyone began to head back to their homes, lowly grumbling their hate toward the boy. They all proclaimed that the next time he yelled wolf, they would not leave their cottages.

Wolf and Virginia were relieved. Suddenly Wolf and Penelope doubled over in pain.

"Penny, what's wrong!?" Virginia cried.

"My stomach hurts." She groaned.

Virginia laid her hand over Penelope's forehead, "Oh my goodness Wolf, both of you are burning up!" She glared at him, "I thought you said she wasn't going to be like this!"

Wolf looked up at her with pain ridden eyes, "Cycles happen differently with all half wolves. I thought she wouldn't have it because she has mostly human in her. I guess her cycles only come on every 5 years."

"What happens?" Penelope's voice filled with fear.

"Nothing, let's get to a barn." Wolf pleaded with Virginia, when she hesitated he got more aggressive, "NOW!" But then he saw the hurt in her eyes, "Now." He said a little softer.

******************

Wolf and Penelope entered an old barn, which wasn't used anymore. The hay on the ground fluttered as they walked.

"Daddy!" Penelope broke away from Wolf, "Tell me why I hurt so bad! NOW!"

Wolf growled loudly, "Alright! You're part wolf!"

"I HATE YOU DADDY! I HATE YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME!!" She growled.

Wolf seemed to come out of his trance when she said that. Her words hurt him more than any rock or burn could, "Oh cub, you don't mean that."

"YES I DO!" She bit in the air, as if ready to attack.

Virginia came in the barn holding two sets of rope. She could feel the tension in the air as she walked toward Wolf, "What's wrong?"

Wolf began to tremble, then he exploded, "My own daughter hates me!"

"Wolf you know it's just the moon." She tried to keep her calm.

He just grew angrier, "YOU KNOW EVERYTHING, DON'T YOU?"

Virginia rolled her eyes, she had heard this type of ramblings thousands of times before, "Wolf, stand next to the post."

He obeyed involuntaringly. She tied him very very tight, so he wouldn't get loose like once in the apartment. It had been the 2nd cycle they had gone through since they were married. Wolf had wiggled his way free and came after her while she was pregnant. She had to use a tranquilizer gun she borrowed from the janitor's closet.

She wouldn't take any chances with him. Not with Penny around. He bit at her, so Virginia pointed a finger at him, "Now, I don't want any of that!"

He just growled.

Virginia turned to Penelope and saw her sniffing the barn out, "I smell cow, nice juicy cow." She licked her lips.

"Penny, baby, come on, mommy needs you." Virginia lifted her off the ground, but all she got in return was a bite mark on her hand.

Without thinking, Virginia spanked Penelope on her bottom, "Don't ever bite momma again!"

Her daughter whimpered loudly and allowed her to lie her against the post. She didn't tie the rope to tight, she didn't want to hurt her only child.

Virginia stepped back to observe her handy work.

Already, Wolf and Penelope were screaming out in pain from the transformation. Wolf was doing a wonderful job by staying human, but Penelope just gave into the urge.

Suddenly, the same boy from before called Peter trotted in and witnessed what was happening. He saw Penelope's eyes glow blood red and ran out the barn screaming, "WOLF WOLF!!!!"

Penelope made a roaring noise and broke through her bonding.

"Penny no!" Virginia yelled.

Her daughter looked at her for a moment, but heard the boy screaming again, she let her sharp fangs show, and went after him.

"NO!" She watched her run after him and looked toward Wolf, "STAY HERE!"

Through his pain, he nodded to her and yelped again.

Virginia went after her daughter.

*****************

"Wolf! Wolf! There's a wolf after me!" Peter screamed. He pounded on people's doors, "Let me in!"

"Go away Peter!" They all yelled from within.

He heard growling behind him, so he pounded n it louder, "PLEASE LET ME IN!!"

As a man opened the door, Penelope leaped on Peter and growled furiously.

"NO PENNY!" Virginia grabbed her daughter and held her tightly as she thrashed about.

Peter stood by the man who had grabbed his ax, "Burn her dad!"

"NO! Please don't! She's just a child!"

The man raised his ax, "A mother should always discipline her child."

Before the ax could do any damage, Wolf appeared in front of them, snarling and showing his pearly white fangs.

The man, too afraid to stand up to a full-grown wolf quickly grabbed Peter and ran into his house, slamming the door behind them.

Wolf turned toward his family, "Let's get back to the barn." He breathed heavily.

*******************

The next morning, Virginia awoke to the soft snoring of her husband. She looked up and saw Wolf and Penelope sleeping on the posts they were tied to, their bodies slumped.

She got up, taking her handkerchief, she gently wiped some sweat off Wolf's forehead. He woke up and smiled when he saw her.

"Good morning." She said lovingly.

He leaned his head toward her touch and closed his eyes, "Oh Virginia."

"So, is it over?" She asked him.

"Yep, its over."

Virginia untied him. Wolf quickly went over to Penelope and woke her up.

"Daddy, what happened to me?" She asked as he untied her.

"Nothing cub; just don't think about it." He picked her up.

A woman walked into the barn and looked at everyone, "I see you've been using the family barn."

"We're very sorry, we just." Virginia started.

The woman shook her hand, "Nah, don't worry about it. I know you probably needed a hiding spot after last night's escapades with your daughter."

"So you've heard?"

"Oh yes, everyone knows, that's why you must be awfully careful. Folks around here are VERY superstitious. They don't understand that that's just in your nature." The woman explained.

"THANK YOU!" Wolf exclaimed.

"Anyway," Virginia stepped forward, "Do you know anyone that's willing to make a trade with us? You see, we need a cart and a couple of horses."

"Oh, I have some you can use. Iwas just fetching it to sell. What would ya trade it for?"

Virginia looked around and saw her crumpled black dress on some hay, she held it up, "Would this do? Its worth a couple hundred gold coins."

"Oh," The woman looked at it fancifully, "Alright then, its yours."

Virginia and Wolf smiled, they would be at King Wendell's castle by nightfall.

***************

The Ice Queen screamed loudly, "Why are you still here!!!" She asked the thugs and trolls.

They hid behind eachother, except Spike, who stood tall, "We needed rest before we left."

"I'll show you rest!" She raised her hand to freeze them all, but was stopped by the mysterious man.

"Wait! Don't freeze them all, we need them."

She thought for a moment, "Yes, you're right," She waved her hand and ice flew out hitting Frankie. He screamed as it froze his blood, "I'll only freeze one."

When the Ice Queen was finished, he stood there like an ice sculpture.

Joey and Phil screamed, "You killed him!"

"That's a lesson to you all! I mean business! And I intend to have Wolf and Virginia and the little girl here by the week's end!" She yelled, "NOW GO!"

Everyone jumped up and ran to their horses without a look back.

The Ice Queen laughed maniacally, she turned to the prince who grinned evilly, "Soon, we will both have what we want."

He took her hand and kissed it, "Yes M'lady."
