I do not own 'Ed, Edd, N Eddy'
Protecting the pup
Run. That was what his legs were doing. What they were told to do by his best friend. He needed to get away, for both his sake and Sarah's…SARAH! He had completely forgotten about her!
Looking down he saw her clinging onto him for dear life. She was shaking as the hot tears came down her face.
That was when he remembered. No matter how strong she is, she's still just a little girl.
At a closer look he saw that she was openly sobbing. Not surprising. What confused him was that he couldn't hear her. All he could hear was the sound of his own heart beat. It was both loud and erratic.
Taking a peek over his shoulder he saw that they were alone. No one was following yet. That gave them at least, he prayed, AT LEAST a moments rest.
As he came to a slowing halt the exertion of the physical strain came. His muscles were burning. His lungs felt as if they were going to explode.
As he set Sarah down he felt as if his legs were going to give out. He tried using the metal pipe as a crutch. That didn't go so well. He toppled over on to his side.
As he sat there he felt two arms wrap around his waist and tug. Looking up he saw Sarah, she was trying to lift him up. She was speaking at a rapid pace, not that Double D could hear her to begin with.
"Stop." He spoke at what he hoped was a low tone. "We need to calm ourselves so we can think properly." He said more to himself than her. He needed to think so that he could get her out of here like Ed asked him to. "Ed." He mumbled.
Breath in, tighten muscles, breath out, relax muscles, breath in…He repeated this process until his heart slowed. He could hear again.
"What do we do Double D?" She asked through her now trembling voice. "What about Ed?"
"I don't know, I'm trying to find a logical explanation for all of these bestial, bi-petal, canine type mutations"
"…What?" Now that confused her.
"I'm trying to think on why they mutated into dog-"
"Wolf." A voice chided, cutting him off.
"Wolf people." He corrected himself. "Thank you Sarah."
"That wasn't me." She responded.
"Also we're not mutated animals." It spoke again. "We are true children of the moon, we are werewolves."
They both paused. Double D then began to mentally curse himself as he looked around. They had waited too long. They were caught off guard. AGAIN! Around them were a total of seven enemies. Four man-wolves three larger than normal wolves, and a large bear like one.
"Sarah." Edd spoke cautiously. "Get behind me."
She complied.
He slowly bent down to pick up the pipe that he dropped. Holding the end out as he stood in front of Sarah like a meat shield.
Probably the best I could do anyway. He thought to himself. Think Eddward think. What do you know about werewolves? He tried racking his memory for anything of use. Come on Ed, you must have told me something in one of your monster rants.
"Well isn't that brave." Spoke a wolf. "Trying to protect the pup, it won't do you any good."
The fact that the wolf was speaking was unnerving enough. His statement put Double D further on edge. This caused him to aim the silver pipe at the wolf. The wolf didn't take to kindly to that. It started growling more and more.
Why would it be unnerved by a simple pipe? It's just silver…Wait…silver, that's it!
Even Double D, the, Can't be proven by science not true, kind of guy knew the age old tale. Werewolves and silver DO NOT add up. I just need a way to test this theory to see if the books and movies were right.
As this realization came about, a wolf who had previously spoken attacked.
He made a dash toward the two and struck with his teeth to bite. Double D barely had any time to bring the pip up to defend.
The wolf's teeth nearly took off his hand. Instead it took off a piece of the pipe's end leaving it jagged. This action terrified Double D. His only reaction was a kick. He knew he wasn't strong but luck was on his side. His kicked the wolf in the neck, in the throat. This caused it to swallow.
That seemed to have a bad affect on the monstrous wolf. It hacked and coughed as if it were choking, as if it were in pain. So silver is bad for them.
The other two wolves seemed worried for it, he was proven right when one came closer. Double D saw this as an advantage. Using the opportunity before him he struck. Using all of his strength he closed his eyes and thrust the metal pipe forward.
He felt the pipe break through flesh as he continued to dig through. Opening his eyes he saw that he had pierced another wolf in the side. From what he could remember about a wolf's anatomy, he had just pierced a lung. Maybe both with how deep the pipe was in. This wolf was dead on it's feet.
The first was still choking, which seemed to be coming to an end. The hacks had become less frequent.
The third, which was a distance away, was growling and coming closer. With a mighty leap it jumped high into the air. The intentions to pin Edd were obvious.
Please let this work. Prayed Edd as he decided to use a hastily thought up plan. Truthfully, it wasn't his plan. It was a situation he had seen in a few movies with Ed.
Acting fast he pushed Sarah out to the side from behind him. Raising the pipe up, he pointed it toward the incoming figure. Holding a tight grip on the pipe, he let his body go limp. As the massive body fell onto him he realized what he was doing. This is the worst idea I have ever thought up. With that thought the wolf's body consumed him.
He laid there under the massive thrashing form of the wolf. It seemed that the pipe had dug into its body, but not deep enough. I am exhausted and I'm under a werewolf. It took everything he had and more to keep the constantly shifting wolf from falling onto him. Now Double D wasn't brave, this whole ordeal was a miracle, but he was a realist.
He closed his eyes as he accepted his fate.
Until he heard her.
"DOUBLE D." She screamed.
Sarah! He had completely forgotten about her.
Looking to the side he saw her. She picked up a stick and charged toward them. When she was in striking distance, that's exactly what she did. She struck at the massive body that was covering him. Through fresh tears she called his name as she struck and struck over and over again. Why is she striking it? Why isn't she running?
Even as he asked himself this, he knew the answer.
Because she's a friend.
Because she cares.
Because…she wasn't Eddy.
As she continued to strike away a wolf-man decided to act. With a simple swing of his arm he knocked her back five feet. When she came to a halt she didn't get back up. That didn't stop the wolf-man from making his way toward her still form.
He couldn't let them hurt her she's just a little girl. He thought to himself. When he saw the man-wolf 'pop' his claws, he knew that was just his intentions.
That made him mad. He felt rage he had never felt, not even at Eddy's betrayal. They were going to hurt the Sarah, a friend of HIS. He would not let that happen.
Using the new strength, from what he would guess was PURE hatred, he pushed the pipe all of the way through. It tore through the other side of the wolf. The wolf tensed then went still. He pushed the carcass off to the other side.
I don't know what is going on or care. I NEED to save Sarah.
Using his new found strength he pulled the pipe out of the corpse and charged. As he ran he held the pipe like a lance and howled into the night as loud as hi throat would let him. If any of this means anything than I hope Ed see's me as a part of his pack. If he is one of these beasts he should be here soon. If not I'll die like a fool AND untidily.
As Double D closed the distance he thrust the pipe at the surprised wolf-man. The pipe would have pierced the center of the. I repeat, WOULD have. The target simply sidestepped and slapped Double D.
His head was throbbing but he was able to sit up. As he looked at the man-wolf the color left his face.
"Oh dear…" He squeaked.
"Ha ha scared yet?"
Double D didn't respond. All he did was point. This didn't confuse the man-wolf, what did was that he was pointing behind him.
Turning he saw what scared Double D.
Before his head was knocked off…
…into Double D's lap
"Oh my…"
