Chapter 10
The Halloween Party
The next day went by fast. It was already Halloween night, but I didn't have a costume. That's what my mom worried about. "You'll be laughed at, Danny! You really should get a costume. Oh, there's no time! Um, how about we make a costume? Huh? Or…" She started blurting. I rolled my eyes and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry," I said. "I'll be fine." Mom frowned. "But…" "Mom, come on! Let's go!" She took her keys and she drove me to the dance.
WE stopped in front of the Gym. "Bye, mom." I said, climbing out of the car. "Okay, but, you should've really…" "BYE MOM!" I slammed the door shut and ran into the gym. I looked around. There were spider webs, streamers, a disco ball (I was amazed at that sight), and a huge DJ system in a corner. There were seats and tables with tons of food. I was so surprised. I then spotted Sam. She was dressed as a vampire. I smiled and ran to her.
"Sam!" She turned and smiled. "I thought you wouldn't come, you were running so late!" She looked at me up and down. "Where's your costume?" I rubbed the back of my neck. "Well…" "Hey Danny!!" I heard Tucker's voice. He was speeding towards us. When he came, he stopped and tried not to knock down Sam. I raised an eyebrow at him. He had a green face, two little knobs in the sides of his neck, his boots, and a dirty jacket and pants. "You're Frankenstein, huh?" Tucker frowned. "My mom wouldn't let me get a Hulk costume at Wal-Mart. I'm actually the Hulk!" He did some muscular poses and gritted his teeth. Sam pushed him playfully. I chuckled. "So, dude…" Tucker said when he got his balance. "…what are you?"
I shrugged. "I guess I'm a guy in a tuxedo!" I smiled. We laughed. Some slow dance music started. I looked at Sam and bowed. Then I held out my hand. "May I have this dance?" Sam put her hand into mine. "You may," I smiled and led her to the dance floor. We took each others hands and started dancing.
An hour later, after dancing, talking and snacking on food, I sat down for a rest. Sam was with me. We were watching Dash and his date, a girl dressed as a witch with blonde hair, which I guessed to be Star, walk into the custodian's room. "I don't think the janitor will clean that up," I said. Sam chuckled. I suddenly felt horrible and angry. I looked at a window. The moon was out of it's clouds.
I turned to Sam and stood up. "Sam," I said. "You wanted to know what I was for Halloween, right?" She nodded and stared at me as I crumpled to the floor. "….. A werewolf…" I said in a rasp. I choked out a snarl and felt myself tear through my clothes. My snout expanded and fur spouted over my body and face, while my teeth slipped under my dark lips. My bones cracked and crushed, my back legs lengthened, and I felt enraged. My worst nightmare had come to life.
Everyone was watching.
My transformation was done. My clothes ripped off, my wolf-like life overcoming me. I grunted as I breathed, and then I looked around the crowd of people that stared at me - wide-eyed, gasping for breath, turning pale as I looked at them. I stood up and winced as the crowd screamed but continued to stand there. I opened my eyes and snarled. They backed up. A few people started to run out of the gym. I was too enraged and tired to speak. So, I did what a normal dog would do if it was scared to death.
I ran.
So, there it is! Chapter 10! In a few minutes I'll put up the next chapter. Okay, buh-bye!!
