Harmful

Arthur awoke in a damp and cold place, which looked like a basement. Looking around he noticed how dark it was. Then he remembered what transpired before his awaking. Growling to himself he got up on his feet and as soon as he began moving he saw a something move in the corner of his eye. Looking toward the movement he saw nothing but he got this sinking feeling in his chest. To make matters worse he could hear some type of dog growling. Moving toward the sound and placing his hands in front of him, Arthur's hands brushed a flashlight. Grabbing it and cutting it on he saw that he was in a basement. Sighing he turned in the direction he knew he just came from and came face to face with a giant wolf. Screaming in fright he dropped the flashlight and fell on the floor. Moving quickly away from the beast he was that it was advancing toward him slowly.

Up in the apartment Matthew had woken up with a slight head ache. Looking toward his window he realized it was night fall. Sitting up he thought he heard the sound of a scream coming from below. That's when everything came rushing back to him in an instant. Quickly getting out of bed and out the door, he realized that Alfred and Arthur were nowhere to be found. Listening around he heard the sounds of a wolf growling, which wasn't a good thing he also heard the sounds of flesh being torn. Matthew ran from the apartment down toward the basement and found that the door was locked shut. Looking around to make sure no one was looking he pulled the door open with ease.

Arthur looked toward the sound of medal being broken. Then light instantly flooded the area in which he was laying bleeding. Closing his eyes on the onslaught of light he reopened them to see his friend Matthew standing over him growling like the thing he knew was behind him. Daring to look behind him, he saw Alfred standing where the giant wolf had been standing moments ago. Then he heard Matthew say something.

"What the hell, Al?" Matthew growled out.

"Mattie..grrrrrrrr" Alfred's words turned into growls as he was in a hunch over position.

Matthew just watched and knew that he had to get Arthur away from his brother who allowed the beast to take over more often than he should. Bending down but still keeping his eyes trained on his brother Matthew picked up the smaller blonde. Alfred taking notice of this snarled loudly before taking a few steps forward. Matthew stood still as his brother advanced. The human part of him telling him to run for dear life but the other part of him was submitting to his alpha. He couldn't help it the wolf in him told him not to upset the other male.

Seeing the other male was just standing there unmoving Alfred looked over to see Arthur staring between them with a horrified gaze. But being the alpha that he knew he was, he dismissed the look and turned his back to them calming down somewhat. The human in him was trying to take over again which the beast allowed for a short time. "Take him with you before I change my mind." The man said with a short growl afterwards. Matthew took the hint and ran with Arthur in hand.

*A&A*

"What in the name of the queen is going on here?" Arthur asked once he was settled back in the apartment with his so called friend. His wounds were treated and he was sitting across from a very distraught looking Matthew.

"Well I think I should tell you sense he did bite you." Matthew looked down at the floor then quickly turned his gaze to Arthur. "What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this room. You must not repeat any of it so I need you to reframe from speaking until I finish."

Arthur stared at the lad for a moment before nodding his head. Then he listened to Matthew as he proceeded to tell him everything that he knew.

*A&A*

Back in the basement Alfred was trying to get the beast to settle down. But he couldn't, the rage in him was only building and his only option was to leave the basement. So he did. Walking down the cold street in nothing but his white V-neck and his blue basketball shorts the blonde man walked toward the park. It was the closest thing to a forest. Walking toward a group of trees he took off his shirt and folded it up behind it shorts coming off soon after. That's when the pain can and wouldn't cease.

His body felt as if it was on fire but he knew that wasn't the case. He tore his human flesh from his body as he began to turn into his human/wolf like form. He stood on two legs and let out howl.

*A&A*

Arthur didn't know what to think. He never believed in werewolves but there he was sitting across from one. And to make matters worse he was becoming one and there was no known cure. Taking everything in he sighed then turned his gaze toward Matthew who was staring at the door. Arthur followed his gaze and saw Alfred standing there covered in blood.

"We all need to talk. But first imma go shower. Don't anyone leave this house." He growled before making his way to room. Arthur stared at the retreating form of them man who had caused all of his problems as far as he knew.

Matthew looked at Arthur for moment then said, "It's best to do as he says."

Arthur looked at Matthew for a moment before standing on his feet to stretch. Once he was about to walk toward the door against Matthews protest he saw that Alfred was standing there. The taller blonde was growling and to him he could tell it was a warming but he didn't understand why he knew that. His body own its own accord moved back to his seat on the couch.
