XIII: The Pack

Eli and JD blinked a few times in response to Colette's reply to them. "Whoa," said JD rubbing his eyes, "There is no way you can… not possible! You can't be Madison, can you?"

Another tear formed from her eye and it fell from her eye and hit the ground. "I figured you respond to that," the wolf said, "I can't blame you either for discarding the fact that it's not possible that I am Madison. But I truly am her sadly. Now I'm stuck in this nightmare forever."

"Ok," asked JD suspiciously, "I want to believe it is you, but first I want to test it. Tell me something that only Madison would truly know and I'll believe you completely that you are Madison as you say you are."

"You had Sakura call me while I was in the shower recently," Colette said, "But, once I found out it was you, I shut the water off and quickly dressed myself even though you couldn't see me. You also happen to have said you didn't picture me naked or anything during the talk."

"Yep that is you!" JD said.

"What the hell happened to you?" asked Eli, "You look horrible and you are a werewolf."

Madison lowered her head in shame and JD elbowed Eli in the stomach. "What are you trying to do here?" he asked Eli in a angry low growl, "Are you trying to hurt her feelings making the rest of the wolf pack behind us angry because you hurt her feelings and will kill us because of your stated that?"

"Your right," said Eli to him and then he turned to Madison, "I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine and thank you for apologizing," replied Madison, "But you are right. I'm a werewolf and I look horrible."

"Please try to tell us what happened," pleaded JD, "We have to know."

Madison seemed to cry, but held in the tears. "Oh," replied JD, "I understand if you don't want to talk about it. Just forget what I said."

"No," she cried out to him, "You must know the truth. I can't hide it from you two. You are my friends and you came to help me even if it is too late to do anything. Here's my sad story…"

"Hello?" she asked softly walking on the wet ground of the stone balcony, "Is anyone out there?" She to the railing and looked down onto the backyard view. Then there was shaking and brush breaking coming from the tree line. She looked into it and saw a glowing pair of eyes watching her.

"Uh oh," mumbled Madison taking some steps back away from the railing and out of the glowing eyes area of view. The creature burst out of the forest and charged towards the balcony. It jumped onto an outdoor table and up onto the landing between the doors and Madison.

The creature growled and grunted at Madison. It was a large wolf, but she knew it had to be a werewolf. "St… stay back!" she shouted at it pointing the small revolver at the thing, "Don't come any closer!"

The creature took two more steps towards her, before stopping 3 feet away from her. "Princess," it said in a raspy voice, "I have been looking for you. I'm glad to have found you."

"What?" Madison said taking at step back, "Wha… what are you?" She took another step back before slipping on the wet surface and falling hard onto her hip.

"Ah!" it said to her as it advanced towards, "You are the spitting image of our queen. You are part of our queen's blood line. You must come with me back to the pack where the queen is waiting for you."

"What?" replied Madison horrified, "That… that cannot be true!"

"Oh?" it said, "You do not believe what I am saying is true? I see that you are not one of us, just have not changed yet. Allow me to do you the honor and bring you into our pack." The werewolf then bite her on the leg making her cry out in pain. She then past out.

"Princess," said the wolf to her as she slowly opened her eyes, "You have awoken. You shall be pleased to know that you are now one of us." Madison jumped a little bit, but felt something strange about herself. She looked over her body and saw that it was completely covered in hair. In fact, she completely had changed into a wolf.

"No," she said in her new raspy voice, "This can't be!" She then looked to the moon and howled in horror and sadness of what she had now changed into.

"Follow me princess," said the wolf, "I will take you to our den." She knew there was now no turning back, she cried and followed him into the forest, across the road, and into the other side of the forest.

She eventually came up to a cave and followed to wolf in. Inside, tons of other wolves were present and were watching her. "I have returned my loyal subjects," said the wolf that led Madison in, "I have brought back what is one of our dear departed queen's great granddaughters. She is now one of us will be treated with respect. Now bow down to our princess, Colette." They wolves all lowered their heads and Madison continued to sob.

"Is there something wrong?" asked one of the wolves later on to Madison as she laid alone far in deep caverns of the cave, "I am Graywolf, second of charge of our pack. If there is anything I can do to make you happy, tell me and I'll go personal to fetch it for you." She turned her head and said…

"And well," Madison said to them, "You know the rest. I had him find you two guys and bring you two here. I am so alone without my friends."

"So," asked Eli, "Are you completely a wolf now?"

"You know what a werewolf is," she said to him a cold voice, "I'm a wolf during the nights of the full moon and a human during the days and only the nights without a full moon."

"Don't be angry with us," said JD annoyed about Madison being cold towards Eli, "We are not blame here. We just want to help you return to normal."

"There is no way to turn back," she sneered at him, "Before I was taken away from my life, I did research on my computer to find out if there was a way to change back just in case. I found nothing. I am to be stuck with this curse forever."

"Don't you dare sneer at me!" growled JD, "I am trying to be sympathetic here to your problem, but you are lashing out or sneering at us. I want to help, but you are not even trying to be nice at all to help us here."

"Some friends you are!" Madison growled loudly showing her fangs, "I am not being mean or nasty. You two are just being complete morons and not thinking up way to help me at all!"

"Yes we are!" JD growled again making a fist, "Stop being a bitch about this situation and help us think here!" That's when Madison lost it and rammed JD to the ground and slashed his shirt with her claws. He then fainted from shock.

"Stop it!" shouted Eli trying to pull off Madison from JD so she wouldn't do anything else, "Please, understand. We are your friends, not your enemies. Don't hurt him!" She then knocked him to the ground. When he hit it, he hit his head hard enough to knock himself out.

She was about to slash him across his face killing him, when she snapped back to her normal self. She looked at her two friends that laid on the ground, both unconscious at her own doing. "What have I done?" she asked herself weeping, "What am I turning into? A monster that would hurt her own friends? I don't deserve to live!" She then got off of Eli and fell to the ground and cried herself to sleep.

"Don't worry," said Dot to Sakura as she tried to sleep in her bed, "Eli and JD will find Madison and bring her home. They'll find your friend." Sakura was still a wreck and couldn't sleep knowing her friend was missing. Dot decided to sped the night at her house trying to help and comfort her.

"What makes you think JD and Eli will save Madison?" asked Sakura from under her covering as she tried not to cry about her friend.

"Well," said Dot thinking and then saying a warm smiling, "JD saved Madison before didn't he? Plus, Madison is his and Eli's friend as well. They won't give up on their friend until she comes home."

Sakura was silent and then asked Dot, "Have you ever been this much scared before in your life?"

Dot lowered her head and replied, "Yes. There was a time when JD was walking me home when I was 13 and he was 12. I told him I would be fine on making it the rest of the way to my house. We were only 5 blocks way from my house and we were out of the worst about of town. He smiled and let me go on my way. As I walked around the blocks, these older guys started to whistle at me and say dirty things about me. I ignored them and continue on way past them. But one of them jumped in front of me and then…" She burst into tears then.

"What?" asked Sakura sitting up and looking her friend cry, "What happened to you?"

"The guy…" cried Dot, "He and his buddies tried to… but before they could do anything, JD came rushing towards them and punched the closest guy he could. The rest of the guys notice him and laughed at him. They said he couldn't stop them and they were going to have their way with me. But he charged at another guy, but he punched hard in the face and then he was punched hard in the stomach. He crumpled to the ground, but tried to get up, but another guy kicked him hard. That's when a police car that was driving around the neighborhood came up to us. They men scrambled away as fast as they could. I came to JD and hugged him tightly. For the first time, I knew he actually loved me and would defend me always. I was so scared, but if he had come along… I don't want to know."

"Dot," Sakura said hugging her, "I'm sorry."

JD slowly opened his eyes and looked around. It was morning and he was still in the cave. He looked and saw Eli was also getting up. "Madison?" asked JD looking around, "Are you here?"

He then saw a naked human figure curled up on the ground. It was Madison. She was awake and still crying. She still knew what she did and was still horrified about she had done. "Madison?" asked JD, "Are you ok?"

"JD?" she said sitting up and turning her head around to look at him and then quickly turning back around, "Please don't look at me! I am so ashamed and I'm completely uncovered. I don't want to you and Eli to see me as what I am know. A changed, exposed teenage werewolf girl!"

"You are still Madison no matter how much you changed," said Eli, "We still care about you. It doesn't matter what you are." She once again turned her head and then her whole body.

Both boys quickly turned around not to face her. "Ok," JD said, "It still matters that you are naked at the moment. We don't need to see that."

"Oh sorry," Madison blushed with embarrassment. She quickly ran over to her old clothes she was wearing. There was a lot of tears and mud covering her PJs and stuff, but it would do the trick.

"Ok I am fine now," she said to them allowing both to turn around again, "But there isn't anyway for us to leave here. The wolves won't let us just get by them. Plus, even if we do get by them, how I can be ever normal again? Every full moon, I'm well… you know."

"I think I might know a way," said JD thinking out loud, "But we might need to wait until later tonight for this to work. Can you wait that long?"

"If it means me turning back to normal and living a normal life," said Madison, "I can wait."

Later on that night, JD, Madison, and Eli waited and waited for the right moment for them to put their plan into action. "Oh no," said Madison wrapping her arms around herself, "I feel happening to me again!"

She pulled her clothes off and tossed them at JD. She then ran down deeper into the cave. "Are you ok?" asked Eli, "You seem nervous? Are you ok with going through with our plan?"

"I'm fine," he said holding Madison's clothes and then picking one up in particular, "But I'm nervous about holding these girl clothes. I feel dirty holding this thing." All of sudden, Madison in wolf version came up to them.

"Why are you holding up my bra?" she asked annoyed.

"What bra?" asked JD as he tossed it into the air, but he feel back down and landed on his head. Eli laughed and Madison rolled her eyes.

"Let's just do this," said Madison. The boys nodded and head for the entrance of the cave. All of a sudden, when they were about to reach the end, two wolves including Graywolf jumped in front of them and growled.

"Where do you humans think you are going with our princess?" said Graywolf.

"We are leaving and taking her with us to change her back to normal," growled JD pulling out his silver weapon, "And if you think you can stop us, I dare you to."

"You stupid humans," growled Graywolf moving closer and closer, "You think you can take down the whole pack and steal our princess away from us? We will kill you." All of a sudden, the rest of the wolves appeared surrounding the group.

"I knew you would be a crowd," said JD with a sneer.

"What did you call me?" growled Graywolf.

"A crowd," JD said taunting him, "You are pathetic; you can't even kill a person without the whole pack. You are weak; you can never defeat me by yourself and will resort to others helping you."

"Ignore him," said one of the wolves, "Let's just slaughter this guy."

"No," said Graywolf, "He has insulted me and is taking shots at my pride. I will kill him myself."

"Let's just see you do that," grinned JD, "You are nothing but a filthy street dog!" That enraged the large wolf enough to pounce at him. JD jumped out of the way and spun around just in time for the wolf to spin around and pounce at him.

JD tossed himself out of the way just in time. Graywolf missed and crashed hard into the ground. JD jumped to his feet and charged fast at Graywolf raising his silver weapon. The wolf got up only to be smashed hard in the head crackling his skull by the force of the blow. The wolf toppled to the ground and died.

"He has killed Graywolf," said some of the wolves among each other, "We must kill him before he kills us."

"A halt what you are doing," said a familiar raspy voice to the pack, "I'll deal with this human." They turned and saw the leader, Silverback watching them.

The giant werewolf jumped at him and landed hard on the ground in front of him that caused JD to fall down to his butt. "Now to kill you!" the werewolf said raising his paw at JD and revealing to him his long dagger sharp claws.

But before he could slash JD down the front, Eli released his sword and shoved it in the way of the claws. The both collided, but Silverback's claws crumbled into pieces. He then rammed Eli throwing him into the side of the cave wall. "Now for the kill," he grinned.

He charged at him, but JD rammed his weapon on top of Silverback's back dropping him to the ground. The wolf howled in pain and slowly packed away. Both boys noticed the long burn mark where blood slowly trickled out. "Silver is so strong against werewolves that is burns their flesh," JD explained to Eli as he twirling his silver cane.

"You'll pay for that human," he growled getting back up and charging at him. The werewolf jumped, but JD dropped to the ground letting the wolf fly right over him. The werewolf soon noticed his mistake and flew around quickly facing JD as he got up. Lucky, Eli got back up and charged at the wolf from behind slashing him across the side with his sword.

Blood seemed to pour out, but the werewolf went into a crazy rage and slashed Eli across the arm knocking the sword out of his hand and across the room. He dropped to his knees clutching his large wound trying to prevent any more blood to come out of it. "Now time as come human," Silverback said slowly moving towards him, "I may be dieing, but you are going with me to hell."

"Nope," said JD running towards the sword and picking it up, "Just you!" He charged and slammed the sword hard into the werewolf's back even going out the other end. The wolf howled in pain and JD pulled the sword out as the monster dropped to his side. Soon, it laid dead.

"JD look!" Eli said pointing with his bad arm while still using his bad arm to cover the wound, "All the wolves." He looked at saw the wolves and their dead leader bursting into flames. They all howled and soon turned to ashes in the wind. JD then notice where the ashes of the leader of the wolf rested, he saw a golden card. He pulled it out and blew off the ash. It read Werewolf.

The card burst into flames as soon as JD read it. He dropped it to the ground and watched it faded away in the flames. "Guys," Madison said in her normal voice, "I'm… normal!"

Both turned, but quickly turned away. "That's great that you're not a werewolf in all," JD blushed, "But could you please but your clothes on? You have no more fur covering you up."

Madison blushed and ran deeper into cave, then came back fully clothed. "See?" she said to them, "I'm back now, clothes included."

Both boys turned and smiled. Eli dropped back to his knees. "This wound is killing me!" he grumbled trying to hold back the bleeding."

"Here let me help!" Madison quickly responded pulling her shirt off and then wrapping it around Eli's wound, "See? This should work, right guys? Right?"

Both boys were now looking away again. Madison sighed and said, "I'm still have my bra on you know."

They quickly turned back to her and sighed with relief. "Now we still have a problem here," said JD to her, "We need to come up with a plan to explain to everyone what happened to you and how we rescued you without revealing the truth of what really happened here. Anyone have an idea?"
