Ottsel of the Ages: Hey! I'm back with Chapter 7. Sorry for the wait....I'm busy with school and other crap and my computer is so very screwed up. So not to be stalling I'll leap right into the chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 7

"Wolf" Into Action

Evy woke that morning yawning and tumbling out of bed. When she hit the floor she realized that she was no longer at the house of her best friend, but outside Halloween Town in a huge mansion belonging to three other teenagers she met the day before. She stretched and got up then walked slowly to the door and opened it.

She heard scurrying from the other room so she walked in. Evy saw Lock and Barrel both piled on the floor and Shock sitting on the couch with a smug look on her face.

Lock and Barrel both looked up at Evy and quickly scrambled up. Shock jumped up and smiled.

"Hey Evy, you sleep well?" Lock grinned at her.

She smiled and rubbed the back of her neck. "Yea Lock, thanks."

"Good. Since your gonna be one of us you have to be ready for the test. And we also want you to be comfortable."

Evy smirked and pushed him playfully. "Aw come on, you make it sound like it's a life and death thing, but thanks for the concern."

"But if you get caught you'll-" Shock slapped a hand over Barrel's mouth.

Evy looked at them both bemused then narrowed her eyes. " I want in, what's going on?"

Shock stepped in front of Barrel and put her arm around Evy. "Evy, I'm gonna be honest with you, because you really have some potential and I like ya. You can get caught and get in loads of trouble, but thats the fun of it, right? Right?" She shot Evy a desperate smile and found her grinning.

Evy snickered and continued grinning. "That's kid stuff! Man, I've gotten past druggies with knives and handguns, chased by the cops and escaped them, and snuck into the school office and messed with the system. I think I can handle it. So, what is it anyway?"

Lock was beaming. 'Spunky and spontaneous! I'm liking this!'

His thought's were knocked out of his head when Shock nudged him. She looked at him and motioned to Evy, who was talking to Barrel.

Lock instantly got the hint and strolled over to the two and tapped both of their shoulders. They both turned around as Shock walked over as well.

"What?!?" Barrel almost shouted.

Lock glared at him. "Well, Evy still needs to find out what her personal identity costume will be by the, er, machine, then she'll see if she can prove herself in the test."

Evy scoffed and started laughing. "Cool! But I promise you guys this; if I can't pass that test then I'll be your personal slave -" she saw the two boys lighten for a brief second, "but I DOUBT that'll happen. "

Shock smiled wide, "Now thats what I like to hear! You better go get dressed and get ready too. We'll see you when your done. "

Evy pulled a huge 'Sora (from Kingdom Hearts) smile' then ran off childishly back to the previous room she slept in.

"Now thats the kind of person we need on this team," Barrel said with a grin.

"Lock you had better hope that machine works perfectly and doesn't mess up or I'll get the Halloween Town Werewolf to rip you to pieces and let him eat them, do you understand me?" Shock growled and sat on the couch.

Lock only shuddered then also sat down.

Not wanting to be the only one standing up Barrel dropped down to the floor and sat cross-legged.

When Evy reached the room she smiled in spite of herself, knowing she acted completely silly and like herself back there. She shrugged because she did feel comfortable enough around them.

'I can act like myself around those guys. I mean their so cool. Shock's like the big sister/best friend you could have, she'll really care about you. Barrel is like a brother, he cares too, I bet he's really caring like Shock, I think he likes me though. And Lock, well,' she blushed while she thought,'he's pretty much open with everything, and he's really cute too, god I hope he's not gay. All the cute ones are secretly gay most of the time. '

She jumped into the shower and washed her hair then let the hot water run over her. After she got out she dried her hair and redressed. Staring hard at herself in the mirror she carefully put some concealer, mascara and clear lip gloss on.

Then, after tossing her hair into a high messy bun with several strands hanging down she headed into the main room once again.

"I'm ready!" That caused the trio to look up and all three of them smiled.

They got up and started walking to a door which Barrel had opened and walked down the stairs that followed.

Lock held out his arm and grinned lopsidedly, "Need an escort down the stairs madame?"

"Why yes, thank you Jeeves," Evy replied with a think phony french accent and a snobby look about her face.

"Jeeves?!" Lock raised his brow but smiled at the same time. "What are you talking about? My names Lock remember? L-O-C-"

Evy cut him off with a fake scowl, "I know, I know........I've just always wanted to say that!!!" She added with a giggling kind of screech.

She grabbed his arm and pulled him down the stairs and then stopped at what she saw as her eyes widened. It was a huge circular with a roulette board base and a few platforms, one of them with a nasty looking machine with some pointy things poking out of it. ( A/N. I'm basing it off the room where you fight Oogie Boogie in K.H.)

"Eeeep!" Evy instantly withdrew and clung to Lock like a cat above water.

Lock looked down at her then lead her over to it. "You'll be fine, Evy, don't worry."

He let go of her and Shock, Barrel, and him as well pushed her under as the glass slid down on her. Lock grimaced as he pushed the button.

"This better work Lock," Shock muttered angrily.

Evy looked around with wide eyes as the caged like glass shut around that her new friends had pushed her into. Colored gases started to fill it making it impossible to see outside of the glass so she started banging the glass.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!!!!" Evy bellowed.

A red gas swirled around her like a scanner. Then a buzz filled her ears as the smoke turned gray then black and obscured her vision completely.

She felt dizzy and out of body so she sat and slid against the glass. A weird sensation of things crawling all over her body covered her and she let out a strangely wolfish howl.

Barrel fiddled with his fingers then looked over to Lock. "I think she's done now. Press the button," he said with and edge of nervousness.

Lock pressed down on the button again making the glass slid back up and disappeared. The gases slowly disappeared as well.

Shock gasped then rounded on Lock angrily. "What the hell did you do you moron!"

Evy stood up seeing she was no longer dizzy the started at them. "What's wrong? Am I disfigured or ugly?" She didn't wait for an answer and ran upstairs looking for a mirror.

Barrel ran after her shouting and Shock and Lock followed.

Running into the room she slept in, Evy ran into the bathroom then shut and locked the door. She stepped in front of the mirror and stared. Her skin had now a light grayish tone and she had wolf ears perched on top of her head. She looked slowly down at her hands and flexed her fingers which were covered with retractable claws. Then biting her lip she looked down behind her to see a long gray swishing wolf tail.

Still wide-eyed she brought her hands up and touched her ears then tugged on them and winced in pain. Evy then yanked the tail and yelped in pain again. Then, putting her hands on the counter of the sink and dug her claws into it and withdrew them.

Lock, Shock and Barrel stood outside the door waiting for her to scream. Shock tapped her foot nervously and twisted her hands.

Evy opened the door and walked out silently towards Lock with no expression visible on her face. Closer and closer with every step Lock seemed to shrink back.

Stopping about half a foot from him Evy looked at him then jumped on him with a huge hug.

"OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!!" Evy screamed and repeatedly kissed his cheeks.

Lock was dumbfounded. "Huh?"

After about a hundred kisses Evy jumped off him and breathed deeply.

Shock and Barrel were stunned as well. "But, but Evy don't you see what that moron-" Shock seethed "-has done to you?"

"Of course I have. Why do you think I just kissed him about a million times, I've always wanted to be a werewolf or wolf anthro."

Shock was speechless.

Barrel sighed then laughed. "Well don't you think we should get going with the plan and 'wolf' into action! Get it? Wolf- oww!"

Lock smacked him upside the head and Evy smiled. "Barrel's right. Lets go!"
