Chapter 14.
(Scott POV)
I woke up this morning and got up and showered as well as changed for school and headed downstairs for breakfast and got a bacon sandwich, ate it before I left to check the weapons cache to make sure there was no messages and no rust or anything which will not keep the guns in a great condition.
I have just finished checking the top guns and found no rust on any of them and place them back in and the phone and locked it before I started walking towards school where I heard running behind me and turn to see Cora running towards me.
"Thinking you would get away?" Cora said.
"Never could, Plus just was checking on the stuff, So shall we," I said holding my hand out.
"Of Course," Cora said as she grabbed my hand and We walked on to school.

We ended up getting through school with no problem at all. Maddy, Cora, and I went back home. To do our homework and let Emma and Dan know we be at Shan's for Movie night. Which also meant we maybe staying there for the night also.
So WE went in and said to Emma and Dan which was fine with it and Then Maddy, Cora and I went to My room and we got through all of the Homework then Maddy left to pack.
Cora Kissed me before she left to pack too.
I was starting to pack, When,
"She loves you, Scott," Allison said.
"Me too, I also think she knows that she can't replace you," I said.
"I know, Plus Cora would never try to replace me, She knew you loved me too much," Allison said.
"Yeah," I said.
"Hey, Still have me, Even if it is just me speaking into your head," Allison said.
"Yeah, Love you," I said.
"Love you too, Scott," Allison said.
I finished packing. Then switch on the PS4 since it has been on rest mode since I had to restart the whole system and Re-download everything again. I saw almost half of the Games downloading has been completed and installed already. So I put it back in rest mode.
Then I headed down stairs and waited for Maddy, and Cora.
Emma came in the room.
"Alright, Scott," Emma said.
"Yeah, Fine," I said.
"How's your other side," Emma said.
"Fine, Not doing anything on me yet," I said.
"Good," Emma said. "All set for tonight,"
"Yeah," I said.
Then Emma left and I waited for Maddy, and Cora to come down.

It was at least 10 mins before Maddy, and Cora came down with a bag over they shoulder.
Then We headed off for Shan's. Tom and Rhydian are meeting us there.
Once we got there, Maddy was Sneezing the whole way Maddy rang the bell.
Then Shan opened the door.
"My Family have officially left the building," Shan said.
"Let the sleepover begin!" Maddy said.
Then Maddy and Shan went in.
"God," Cora said.
"Help us," I said.
Then we headed in and closed the door.
Then we headed into the family room.
"Okay, Even with Cora and Scott here, It's going to be great, But this is going to sound really lame but can you remember when we were 7 and we used to make those friendship bracelets? Well, I found the kit. I thought we could make some bracelets while we talk," Maddy said.
We saw Shan packing some things into her rucksack.
"What's going on?" Maddy said.
"Don't get mad, But I thought we might spend the night on the moors," Shan said.
"What? What do you mean? Why?" Maddy said.
"The beast is back, Maddy. And I think I know where I can find it. Sort of find it," Shan said.
"Shan even if you find it, What are the chance's it will see you. It could end up killing you, you know that right?" I said.
"Yeah, I do," Shan said.
"Is it really worth your life?" I said.
"Maybe," Shan said.
"Shan this sort of thinking will get you killed one day," I said.
Let's just say, I think I know where it might be," Shan said.
"How d'you know it's back? I mean, If it actually is?" Maddy said.
"Pets have gone missing, Farm animal have been attacked," Shan said.
"Since when?" Maddy said.
"Since a few days ago," Shan said. "This is our best chance to see it, Maddy I've worked out its movements,"
"But that makes what Scott said right, It's already attacked animals what makes you think it's safe for us?" Maddy said. "Look what happened last time Shan Have you even thought about this?"
"Yes. I have," Shan said. "And I thought if we'd have stuck together, Looked out for each other You know, that's what friends are supposed to do,"
"I thought you wanted to talk," Maddy said.
"We are talking," Shan said.
"Look, I'm sorry. I just, i wanted a proper sleepover, You know? Bracelets, Cheesy nachos even cheesier movies," Maddy said.
"It's out there, Right now," Shan said.
"Look. I know how important this is for you," Maddy said.
"You have no idea, Everyone thinks I'm the town weirdo," Shan said.
"No, they don't," Maddy said.
"Yes, they do, Look, My parents took me to see a Doctor, They've talked about medication, I've got see a psychiatrist," Shan said.
"What? why?" Maddy said.
"Because of what i said about you, Look I need to know if there's something out there, I need to know that i'm not going completely crazy," Shan said.
"Shan, You're not, You're really not," Maddy said.
"Don't patronise me," Shan said. "I told my mum you were a Werewolf! Give me 1 good reason why that makes me sane,"
"Because,Because the beast is real and we're going to find it. Tonight," Maddy said.
Then the doorbell rang.
"Ah,That can't be them already, can it?" Shan said. "Look, you won't tell the rest about the psychiatrist, Will you?"
"Course not," Maddy said.
Then Shan left to open the door.
"What are you thinking, If that's anyone wild wolf-blood out there, Shan and Tom wouldn't stand a damn chance," I said.
"I had to for Shan, Scott," Maddy said.
"Yeah, I know, Just hope we don't run into it," I said.
Then Maddy, Cora, and I heard Tom and Maddy left to tell him.
"Jesus," I said.
"Yeah, Good thing I got this for you then," Cora said pulling up M9 out of her bag.
"Where did you get that," I said taking it and checking it and putting it in the back on my tracksuit bottoms.
"Gun case, Before came down with Maddy," Cora said.
"I locked it," I said.
"I know," Cora said taking out the key and putting it in my hand.
I put it in my pocket. "You guessed something may happen," I said.
"Maybe, Just wanted to be safe though," Cora said.
Then the Doorbell rang again and It was Rhydian.
Then Rhydian ended up coming in with a pair of Boots.
"Hey Rhyd," I said.
"Hey, Scott, Cora," Rhydian said.
Then Rhydian sat down and took off his shoes and put on the boots then Maddy came in.
"And you didn't smell or sense anything?" Maddy said.
"No," Rhydian said.
"Me Neither," Maddy said.
"Same," Cora and I said.
"So she's wrong," Rhydian said.
"Maybe not, Maybe it's smart," Maddy said.
"Are you 4 coming?!" Shan shouted.
"Just trying to get these boots on," Rhydian said.
Then Turned back to us.
"So let's say it the wild Wolf-blood. So It lives on the moors, Sometimes comes foraging on your territory and can mask its own scent. How does seeing it help Shannon?" Rhydian said.
"Her family think she's crazy, I mean serious;e crazy," Maddy said. Shan's starting to wonder if they're right, She needs to know it's real and We're going to help her even if it means 1 of us transforming to do it,"
"What, No way Mads, What do you think she would do than, Put it online and this area gets surrounded by Hunters, No, I not going to let you, It can put the whole lot of us at risk. Listen I know you want to help her. But we can't do that." I said.
"Scott, Right," Cora and Rhydian said.
"Maddy! Rhydian! Scott! Cora!" Shan shouted.
"Okay, I know, Scott, I just really want to help her," Maddy said then Shouted "Coming!" and left for the kitchen.
"We need to keep an eye on her, Scott," Cora said.
"I know, Watch her anything Happens let me know without them knowing," I said.
We got in there and Maddy sneezed again.
"Okay, this is us, and according to the newspapers the Parkers lost 2 sheep 3 days ago, Howdale lost a Ram just last week, and we got High Field and Barfield that both lost animals last night, And then we have Wilson, Boo Boo, and Hermione." Shan said.
"Where?" Cora and I said.
Then Maddy and Rhydian laughed.
"What?" Shan asked.
"Same here," Tom said.
"Do none of you 2 watch those Harry Potter Movies," I said.
"Oh right," Tom said.
"Of Course," Shan said.
"So if we just join the dots together we get," Shan said.
"It's be Circling the Village," Cora said.
"Exactly. And it's clearly not feeding in the same place twice so we need to be somewhere around here." Shan said.
Then Mads Sneezed again.
"I don't think Maddy ought to be going out with a cold like this," Rhydian said.
"I'll be fine, Rhydian" Maddy said.
"You don't know that, Mads." I said.
"It doesn't matter," Maddy said.
"It does matter," Cora said.
"Maybe there are right," Shan said.
"They are not right. I coming with you," Maddy said.
Then got up and gave a look to Rhydian, Cora, and I.
"I'll go have a word with her," Shan said.
"She's clearly made her mind up It's fine," Rhydian said.
Then We headed back into the family room.
"Maddy, This cold can get worst for you, Cora and I can't get sick, Our healing stops that period, But not yours Mads," I said.
"I need to help her, Scott," Maddy said.
"What if it is out there? What if it attacks us again?" Rhydian said.
"We defend ourselves," Maddy said.
"What, As wolfs," I said.
"In front of our friends?" Rhydian said.
"Well Maybe it's time they found out. I'm having stress dreams!" Maddy said.
"Now who's the crazy one?" Rhydian said.
"I can't keep lying to them, Rhydian, look what it's done to Shannon," Maddy said.
"Then what Scott said would happen. They broadcast the news to the rest of the world!" Rhydian said.
"They wouldn't do that," Maddy said.
"How do you know that?" Rhydian said.
"Rhydian's right, What if they can't handle it Maddy, What if you fall out with them?" I said.
"I'll take that risk," Maddy said.
"This isn't about you, It's about all of us. Me. Your Mum and Dad Cora, Scott, All Wolf-bloods,"Rhydian said.
"And my friends will understand that," Maddy said.
"Don't use friendship as an excuse, This is about you feeling guilty,," Rhydian said.
"It's about me living truthfully for once," Maddy said.
"You can't for a reason, Why'd you think Wolf-Bloods have kept themselves hidden for so many years? even the wild ones? it's because human Beings wiped most of us out, Or is your dad lying about all that?" Rhydian said.
"Rhydian's Right, Hunter well be here as soon as they see it," I said.
Then the door opened and Shan came in.
"Am I interrupting something?" Shan said.
"No, Course not," Maddy said.
"Right, Well, This is the only cold remedy I could find, It's Aconite. One of my mum's homeopathic remedies," Shan said.
I pulled out my Phone and opened messages from Lydia.
Me; Lydia, What is Aconite? Get back to me as soon as, Scott.
"What? You mean, One of those New Age unscientific things that you don't believe in?" Maddy said.
"Yep, it's basically sugar pills covered in plant extract, They sort of just make you think yourself better. Right, open," Shan said and put one in Mads mouth. "Right. If that doesn't work, pop in another one. It can't do any harm," Shan said then headed out.
"You can't tell them, Mads. This is my secret too, But I been through Hunters and know how they think, I don't want you, Emma, Cora or even Dan, Getting hurt by them, You the last leg, If something happens to you guys, That's it," I said.
"Sorry, Scott, But I can't live like this anymore, I Done lying to them, I had to lie to you all the damn time before it came back," Maddy said.
Then Maddy eyes turn.
"Mads, You eyes," I said.
Then Mads tried to get out then I got her and took her upstairs to the bathroom.
"Scott, Let me go," Maddy said.
"I can't look in the Mirror, You eyes," I said.
Then Mads looked and saw.
"Then there was a knock.
"Maddy!" Shan said.
"I'll be down in a min," Maddy said.
"Turn your wolf off," I said.
"I saw her trying but nothing.
"This isn't me, Scott," Maddy said.
"It must be," Rhydian said.
"It not her," I said.
Knock at door again.
"I'm being sick," Maddy said.
"Maddy!" Shan said.
"It's not," Maddy said.
Then my phone buzzed.
I pull out my phone.
"What is it?" Maddy said.
"Lydia," I said opening the Message.
Lydia; Wolfsbane.
"Shit," I said.
"What?" Rhydian said.
"Scott, Open the door!" Tom said.
"Maddy!" Shan said.
"So how do I turn it off?" Maddy said.
"Right you 2 stay here, Lock the door," Rhydian said Heading out and Maddy closed the door Quickly and locked it.
"Scott, What's happening?" Maddy said.
"That pill you took, it's Wolfsbane, It must affect wolf-bloods in a different way," I said.
"What do we do about it?" Maddy said.
"Finding out now," I said Pulling my phone out again.
Me; What can fix the affects of it Lydia, Then fill her in on what is going on.
Lydia; Get back to you when found out.
"Right Lydia looking for a way to stop it, I bet Rhydian doing the same," I said.
"Okay, I worried Scott, What if they see me like this," Maddy said.
"Hey, It going to be okay," I said.
Then pulled Maddy into a hug.
She hugged back as soon as I did. I knew she was worried as hell.
"Hey, It's going to be okay, You got me," I said.
"Love you, Bro," Maddy said.
"Love you too, Sis," I said.
Maddy tried to get up.
"Mads No, I not letting you go," I said.
"I need food," Maddy said.
"No," I said.
Then Rhydian came and took us in to Shan's room and told us how to get rid of the effect but we need to go to the moors for it.
"Fine, Let's go," Maddy said.
"No, We can't let them see you Mads," I said.
"Where are we going to the moors to find this Thistleroot," I said.
"Yeah, Where's Maddy?" Rhydian said.
"What?" I said and saw she wasn't here, "SHIT,"
"I get her," Rhydian said.
Then My phone went off.
Lydia; Thistleroot, It's the antidote.
Me; We just found that out to Lydia, Thank.
Lydia; No Problem, Love you Bro.
Me; Love you too, Sis.
Then Rhydian came back in.
"She in the bathroom go with her," Rhydian said then left.
I went in and she near attack me.
"Mads, It me," I said.
"Sorry, This is start to affect my mind now," Maddy said.
Then Rhydian came back and Tom and Shan left.
"WE need to go Scott, and find that," Rhydian said.
"Yeah, Wait here til it clear Mads and Get home. Got it," I said.
Maddy nodded.
Then we left and Went into the forest to look for the Thistleroot.
About 10 mins later we were in the Moors just after finding some Thistleroot We heard a howl I knew straight away it was Maddy.
So had to ran towards where we heard it come and We find Tom and Shan. But Maddy was getting close to them and Rhydian was closer and took the Thistleroot and pulled Maddy down the Put it in her mouth then by time Tom, Shan, and I got there she was back to normal.
We got back Maddy was sneezing again.
"Are you really gonna spend all night looking at these?" Maddy said.
"I can't believe we didn't get anything," Shan said.
"There'll be other times, Shan," Cora said.
"What were you doing out there anyway? I thought you were supposed to be ill," Shan said.
"I didn't want to let you down," Maddy said.
"How'd you know where we were?" Shan said.
"I didn't," Maddy said.
"I'm sorry, Maddy. For all those mean things I said," Shan said.
"I didn't have the best reaction to that Pill, I mean I don't remember doing anything," Maddy said.
"So you don't remember throwing yourself at Tom?" Shan said.
"Tom? I threw myself at Tom?" Maddy said.
"According to him you did," Shan said.
"Bloody hell, Mads," I said.
"Oh my," Maddy said.
"Don't worry, He was going on how you 2 will only ever be friends," Shan said.
That made Us laugh.
"I think he was just glad of the attention," Shan said.
Then Tom came in.
"Normal service has been Resumed," Tom said.
"We have toast and Jam, Marmalade, Peanut butter, a slab of ham, tomatoes and cheese and I think That's it," Tom said."Oh Rhydian bring the drinks,"
"I go give him a hand," I said.
"Me too," Maddy said and We went into the kitchen.
"Lucky break, Huh?" Maddy said.
"You could say that," Rhydian said.
"I can still taste the thistle root," Maddy said.
"I had no choice," Rhydian said.
"I know, Thanks," Maddy said.
"You still keen to spill the beans?" Rhydian said,
"Nah, Not now" Maddy said.
"Good," I said.
"Can't put you at risk Bro," Maddy said.
"I know," I said.
"Shan happy," Maddy said.
"So Tom," Rhydian said. "He thinks I'm jealous of you and Him,"
"Are you?" Maddy said.
"Don't push your luck Maddy," Rhydian said.
"Lol," I said.
"Sorry," Maddy said. "It's just really good to be normal again, Doing normal gossipy things. With normal People,"
"There is nothing normal about your friends," Rhydian said.
"Oh you so like him, Mads," I said.
"What?" Maddy said.
"Come on, Mads, You like Rhydian," I said.
"Whatever, You okay?" Maddy said.
"Yeah, Just remember things," I said.
