Thank you again for all your reviews. Last chapter I made a mistake, its supposed to be the Baa Baa Bar. Let me know if you find any other mistakes, your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading. This is a rather short chapter, there shouldn't be to many of these.
Chapter 14
The sun was setting so there was barely any light left in the cell. Any normal person wouldn't be able to see two feet in front of him but Wolf was anything but normal. His eyes could pick up the smallest detail even when it was dark out.
Wolf had lost track of the days since he had been locked in the cell. It couldn't have been more than three, but it seemed like so much longer. Especially when he was without his Virginia. Wolf whined. He still didn't know if anything had happened to her. Wolf silently vowed that if anything happened to Virginia he would kill whoever did it to her. He didn't know what he would do if he didn't have her. He longed to hold her in his arms again.
He looked up at the window. He couldn't see it, but he was positive that tonight was the full moon. He could feel his blood already boiling. Normally Wolf despised the full moon. He was never able to control his animal side of him. But tonight, it may come in handy. He highly doubted that these chains that held him would last very long when he transformed.
Wolf grinned. Those wretched Peeps were going to get what was coming to them.
The grin soon disappeared however when he was hit with the cramps. He couldn't even reach his ribs, not that it would help any, but still. He howled and moaned for what seemed like hours but was only about a half an hour.
One of the Peep brothers opened up the door to his cell.
"Shut up you!" He paused as he stared at Wolf. "What's the matter with you anyway?" It was the one with darker hair. He stood there for a minute, confused by Wolf's behavior. He had never actually seen a wolf right before the full moon. So he had no idea what was wrong with him.
Wolf barely noticed him. He was to caught up with the cramps. He started whining again. Oh, how he wished his Virginia was there, she was always able to help take his mind off of them.
The Peep brother who was watching Wolf started to freak out a little. He ran out of the room and returned with a bowl of water. He didn't want to get too close to Wolf, not even in his current state. So he went as close as he dared and put the bowl just within reach of Wolf. He heard his brother calling his name, so he quickly left the room, accidentally leaving the door open.
When the cramps were gone, Wolf sat up slowly. He was covered in sweat and his face was pale. He noticed the water bowl and grabbed it quickly. The bowl was empty in a matter of seconds.
The Peeps had not given him any food the last few days. Only some water periodically. For a wolf, this was torture. His stomach was beyond growling for food.
He sat there for a few minutes, going over a plan for when he got out of here. Although it really didn't matter because it was going to be the wolf side of him that got him out of here. He could never remember what happened on a full moon. One thing was for sure though, as soon as he was out of here, he was hunting the biggest deer he could find. Right after that, he would run all the way back to Wendell's castle and back to New York to Virginia.
That was when Wolf noticed the door to his cell. It was wide open. Wolf grinned, they were making this easier and easier on him. Wolf stood up and went as close to the door as he could. He could hear faint voices coming from the other room. It was Wilfred Peep and his two sons. Wilfred still hadn't shown his face to Wolf yet. But Wolf knew it was him. With Wolf's great hearing, he could easily understand every word they were saying.
"I don't understand why She wouldn't let us take that girl when we were there. It would have been easy enough. As soon as she went back to the apartment, we grab her." Wolf recognized this voice as the Peep with lighter hair.
"I don't know how many times I gotta tell you, She said just take the wolf and do whatever you like with him." There was definitely no mistaking this voice. Wilfred Peep. Wolf remembered that voice all to well. It was the annoying voice with the annoying accent. Wolf shook his head and kept listening.
"Then why did we have to leave that note. If we're not even going back for her..." This was the dark hair Peep.
"To scare her. She was supposed to go back to get help from that dog king." Wilfred spat out the last two words with obvious hate.
"But King Wendell has a whole army at his control! We wouldn't be able to take them." The lighter hair Peep said this with a little bit of fear in his voice.
"They won't find us. They have no clue as to where to start looking. For all they know, that wolf could have been kidnapped in the tenth kingdom. Besides, if they were to find us, it would be to late anyway. The wolf will be dead tomorrow afternoon." Wilfred started laughing. He sounded really confident, whereas his two sons were still unsure. That was when Wilfred noticed the open door to the cell.
"Morons! Which one of you left the door open?"
"That was Fairfax. He gave the wolf some water." The Peeps obviously didn't mind ratting out his own brother.
"Well, go and close it and make sure that wolf is still in there. And don't let it happen again!" Wilfred threatened.
Wolf ran back to his spot against the wall. He curled up in a ball so it looked as though he was sleeping. The Peep, apparently Fairfax, glanced in the cell and then closed the door.
Wolf sat back up. His mind was going over everything he had just heard. Virginia was safe, that much he had gathered for sure. Wolf felt much better knowing that. The only problem was that she might not be for long. The Peeps had talked about a She. They didn't mention a name. But it seemed as though that a woman was in charge of them. The thing that made Wolf really nervous was the fact that whoever the woman was, she wanted Virginia to get help from Wendell. Wendell was powerful. He had a large army that was trained very well. Why would She want to be up against that? Wolf didn't know. He was very confused. Another thing Wilfred had mentioned, he would be dead by tomorrow afternoon. Wolf had until then to escape.
That shouldn't be to hard once he changed. Wolf decided that this was probably going to be the first full moon that he was going to change willingly, and not fight it. Wolf could feel the power of the moon already.
Wolf sat there for another two hours. He heard the Peeps walking around and it eventually died down. They had evidently fallen asleep.
The cramps started again, but this time, Wolf didn't fight them. He could feel the bones in his head shift and felt the claws grow on his fingers. His eyes turned a dark red and he could see much better than earlier.
It was no longer the same Wolf that it had been just a few minutes ago. It was now the animal side of him. Wolf felt the power surge through his body. He was much stronger now.
Wolf stood up. He resisted the urge to howl. He didn't want to the Peeps to hear him. They were much easier to get if they were just in bed. Wolf grinned. He could feel the fangs in his mouth.
Wolf yanked on the chains as hard as he could. The chains didn't stand a chance. They shattered and the shackle part on his wrists snapped off. Wolf hardly felt a thing. Grinning again, he stalked toward the door to his cell as silently as he could.
He tried the door. It wasn't even locked. The Peeps were making it way too easy for him. He walked; half-crouching to the first door he came to. He silently opened it and saw Wilfred Peep fast asleep in his bed. Wolf started to go into the room.
The human side of him fought the animal side of him inside. Unfortunately, the human side was loosing. The human part of him lost and he could remember nothing after that.
