October 17th, Full Moon
Ron woke the next morning about 9:00 lying by himself on Kim's bed. He looked around, wondering where she was, and then heard water running in her bathroom.
As he sat up on the edge of the bed, the shower shut off. He lay there for a couple minutes, and then Kim came out with a towel wrapped around her head, and around her body. He couldn't help but stare.
"Ron, what are you staring at?" Kim asked, looking herself over. "I got it all, didn't I?"
"Kim… You just look… so beautiful!"
"Thanks Ron." She said, blushing. "I went through three razors getting all that hair off my legs. I thought I missed some the way you were looking at me."
Ron then got a serious look on his face. "Kim, how do feel? Do you remember what happened last night?"
"Yeah, I remember everything. Can we just not talk about it? Please?"
"But Kim you…"
"Please?" The look Kim gave Ron was enough for him to let it go. He was sure they would talk about it later.
"Ron, look." Kim smiled brightly. Her lips parted, showing her perfect teeth.
"Yeah?" Ron said, not noticing at first. Then… "Whoa, wait… Kim, your teeth!"
"Yeah I know! Maybe I'm back to normal?"
Beep beep be deep… Ron answered as Kim had gone back into the bathroom with her change of clothes.
"Hey Wade."
"What up, Ron. Hey, have you guys seen the news? There was an attack of some kind at the park near Kim's house. The police said the guy was really ripped up. Looked like a dog attack or something. Only thing is, they didn't see any animal tracks. I was wondering if you had heard anything?"
Kim was walking out of the bathroom, clothes on, but still drying her hair. "Hey, Wade." Kim said, turning the PDA towards herself.
"Does Kim know?" Wade asked.
"Yeah, we heard about it." Ron said. Kim knew what they were talking about, so she didn't say anything.
"Hey, Wade, can you do Kim a favor?" Ron started to say, and then Kim quickly took the Kimmunicator from Ron. She knew what he was going to do.
"Suuure Kim, what's up?" The sudden movement surprised him as the image changed on his screen. Suddenly he saw Kim with towel dried hair.
"Wade? Could you see if ahhh, ummm, if my connection is good on my computer? It was acting up a while back."
"Sure Kim." He quickly typed. "Looks OK now. Maybe a little noise on your line, but I should be able to clear it up… There. Let me know if you have anymore problems. You might need a new filter on the line."
"Thanks Wade, you Rock, as always. Talk to ya later."
"Bye guys." The screen went blank, replaced by the familiar KP screen saver.
"I don't want Wade to know." Kim said crossly at Ron.
"But Kim, maybe he could help."
"With techno stuff! I don't think he would know much about werewolves and the supernatural! Now let's go get something to eat, and then go to the mall. I'm in the mood to shop!"
Kim and Ron left the house, saying bye to her parents. Borrowing the mini-van, they stopped by Ron's house. He wanted to check in with his parents, as he hadn't seen them since just before the Transylvania trip. He also needed a shower and change of clothes.
By this time, it was about 11:00, so they went to Bueno Nacho to get some lunch. To Ron's amazement, Kim ordered a Naco supreme, and a large meaty nacho plate. He was even more surprised when she finished it all.
"I am quite impressed Kim. I never knew you could eat like that!"
Kim gave a little shrug and smiled. "Guess I was just really hungry." She didn't want to tell Ron that she was just really craving meat.
"So, Kim… You want to talk about…"
"NO I don't. Let's go shopping. I just need you to carry everything for me." She took Ron's hand and dragged him out of the booth.
They spent the entire afternoon running from store to store. Ron was getting tired, but it seemed that Kim was just getting started. The subject of werewolves never came up between them. When it seemed he couldn't carry anymore, Kim finally said she was done.
As soon as Ron dropped the bags onto Kim's bedroom floor, he collapsed onto her bed. "Dang, Kim! I've never seen you shop so much, and so fast!"
She giggled and smiled. "Guess I was just in the zone today."
"Uhh, Kim?" Ron said, looking at his watch. "Do you realize what today is?"
"Yeah, it's Monday. And I'm so glad they had that 'Teachers Day', or whatever it was so we could have the day off. Gave us a nice long weekend, especially with Senior Ditch Day on Friday.
"Kim…" Ron said flatly. "It's the 17th. The night of the full moon."
"Ron, I really don't think anything is going to happen. I mean, my teeth are back to normal, and I feel like a new person. I mean, I have so much energy!" She whirled around, and landed her arms on Ron taking him into a passionate kiss.
"Well, I hope nothing is going to happen." Ron said to himself.
Ron helped Kim put everything away. He was slightly embarrassed when he accidentally opened a drawer full of her panties.
As they relaxed and watched TV on the little portable in Kim's room, the two almost forgot what might happen that night. Almost.
Kim stood up from her bed, where she was laying on her stomach, and said she had to go to the bathroom. As she stood up, she grabbed her stomach, and doubled over in pain.
Ron immediately got up from his sitting position on the floor, and went to her side.
"Kim? Are you feeling OK?" She looked up at him with fear, the pupils in her eyes, red as fire! "Oh, no! Kim!" He looked out the window and saw a very large, and very full moon rising.
She started to shake violently, and fell to the floor on her back. She was writhing in pain, but wasn't making a sound, except for a few grunts. She continued to hold her stomach, and then threw her head back, her mouth open, and screamed! Her teeth were growing in front of Ron's eyes! He couldn't help but stand there and watch. Her scream had brought Kim's parents and the twins to her bedroom. Rufus had scurried under Kim's computer desk and hid.
"Ron!" Her parent's yelled. "What's going on!"
They all stood in mute silence, as Kim raised up off the floor, still shaking, and her arms held out straight from the side of her body. She looked at all five of them, but wasn't really seeing. Her face started to distort. Her mouth and nose began to elongate, and the teeth continued to get longer.
She then fell to her hands and knees, and her back started to contort and change. She started to hump over, and her hands and feet began to elongate into large paws. Hair was starting to visibly grow all over her body. She curled up into a fetal position on the floor, and then straightened out, tearing the clothes off her body as she increased to about twice her original size.
Standing on all fours in front of her parents, Ron, the twins, and Rufus, was a new breed of werewolf. It was a Kim-Wolf. There was a streak of red hair over the top of the skull, and the eyes were, of all things, green!
The Kim-Wolf looked at everyone with a snarl, and the eyebrows pulled together. It's eyes landed on Ron, and the eyebrows seemed to relax a bit. Maybe a form of recognition?
The Kim-Wolf raised its head, and let out a blood-curdling howl! It turned, and crashed out the second story window. It landed and took off on a dead run towards the park.
Ron immediately went into action. "I'm going after her!" He yelled, grabbing a coat, and jumping out the window, landing on the run. Everyone else went to the window, and watched Ron run after the Kim-Wolf. Ron was glowing light blue, and they saw a sword appear in his right hand as he ran.
"Ronald, please be careful, and bring our daughter back," Kim's mom said as she and her husband clung onto each other. The twins and Rufus stood there in shock, mouths open. All five of them just stood there in front of the broken window, watching the glowing form of Ron disappear.
Middleton park, under a full moon:
Ron had an idea where the Kim-Wolf might go. That is if there was any of Kim left in the beast's mind. He entered the park, and made a straight line towards the tree that he and Kim had sat under together for almost their entire lives. The one they had both carved their names into when they were pre-teens.
He cautiously walked up to the huge oak tree. The Kim-Wolf was sniffing around the base, as if looking for something. It didn't notice Ron approaching.
Suddenly it tensed up, finally noticing that some one was watching. It looked up at Ron, teeth bared, and snarling.
"K…Kim…" Ron said, voice shaking. "I… I don't… know if you're in there, but I d… don't want to hurt you!" He stood there with the Lotus Blade in a ready, but not offensive position.
Ron closed his eyes when he saw the Kim-Wolf wasn't going to immediately attack. He concentrated on Kim. What she used to be. How she looked, how she felt, how she smelled. Give me strength, Sensei
Suddenly, he felt he had entered into Kim's mind. But it wasn't hers. It was dark, and terrifying. Swatches of black and red swirled everywhere. He heard cries of pain and torment coming from everywhere. Then he saw Kim. She was floating, curled into a fetal position. He walked up to her and touched her shoulder. Kim raised her head, and as soon as she saw Ron, she straightened herself up, and put her feet on the ground. She then wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight. "Ron… What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to save you, Kim."
"You can't save me, Ron. It's… It's everywhere! I… can't control it!" She buried her face into his neck, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I've got an idea, Kim." Ron said. "You just have to trust me. OK?"
"I do trust you, Ron, I do."
"I need to go for a while, but I will be back. If this works."
He let Kim go and stepped back. Slowly he disappeared, as he pulled himself out of Kim's mind.
Ron was back in his own mind, still standing in front of the Kim-Wolf. He raised his arms out to his sides, with one hand holding the Lotus Blade. He then brought his hands together, holding the handle with both hands. He touched the tip of the blade to his forehead, and then pointed the blade at the beast.
Suddenly, a blue beam of energy shot out from the sword and enveloped the Kim-Wolf. It couldn't move as power and electrical sparks danced across the body. Ron closed his eyes tighter, concentrating. Gradually the beast started to rise, and then shake violently. It seemed to then become a double image, and then there were two Kim-Wolves!
One of the forms started to change, and it became the naked body of Kim. The other solidified into a regular sized wolf. The beam stopped, and all three collapsed onto the ground. Ron was out of breath.
"It worked!" Ron said, trying to catch his breath. He shakily stood up, and walked over to the prone form of Kim. He took off his coat, and wrapped her with it. He then went over to the body of the wolf, which was still alive, but not yet fully conscious. He raised the Lotus blade over his head, and chopped the wolf's head off. Steam rose from where the cut was made.
Ron went back over to Kim, and helped her to stand, as she was coming around.
"Are you OK Kim?"
"Y… yeah. Yes, I am. Oh Ronald!" She pulled him into a hug.
"It worked, didn't it? Kim? Are you still you?"
"Yes Ron, I am. I feel so much better than before. I'm a little cold, but that's OK." She was naked, except for the winter coat that Ron had wrapped around her.
As they stood there and hugged, Kim started to nuzzle his neck. She began a low growl, and rubbed her lips across his skin, and sniffed deeply, taking in his scent. She raised her face slightly, and bared her fangs and sunk them deep into Ron's neck! He screamed and fought wildly to get away from her. Kim easily overpowered him, and knocked Ron to the ground.
She then bit him on the other side of the neck, ripping, tearing, and blood flying everywhere. The fight from Ron was slowly getting weaker and weaker.
What, what happened? Ron thought as he slowly started to lose consciousness from the loss of blood. Why is she ripping me apart? Oh GOD! I couldn't have been that stupid, could I? I split the bodies, the way they looked, but I forgot to separate the one thing that was the most important. I didn't change the life force. The blood. The Blood of the Werewolf!
Kim raised her head from the bloody mess that now covered Ron's body. Her face and hair covered with his blood. She raised her head high, and howled into the night at the rising full moon.
Fin…
Hey, remember, it's Halloween!
Note: If anyone wishes to write an epilogue, you can. Sometimes I like the not-so-Hollywood endings…
