Hi guys! I'm back with another chapter of this Halloween story! I was finally able to get rid of Jake so he wouldn't host again. No, I didn't kill him if that's what you're thinking. Also, do you know about the Disney Junior Live on Tour: Pirate & Princess Adventure show. Is it coming your way, or has it already come? It'll be coming near me in December, so hopefully I'll go. This chapter contains a song from Alvin and the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman. Anyways, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Jake and the Never Land Pirates. They belong to Disney Junior.

Chapter 5: Pirate leader, Mr. Hyde

Peter Pan sored through the skies of Never Land as fast as he could. He had recently gotten a letter from his pirate team, telling him that it was an emergency and to come to Pirate Island real quick. While he didn't know what was the occasion, but Peter had a feeling that wasn't good.

"I hope it isn't too bad..." He whispered as he approached the island. It was getting dark, but at least he had some light provided by his fairy friend, Tinker Bell. Izzy and Cubby were waiting outside as Peter landed, both had worried looks on their faces. "Ahoy, Peter. We're so glad you could make it." Izzy greeted. Peter smiled. "Well, no matter where I am, I'm already here when you need me. So, what's the problem?"

"It's Jake..." Izzy replied. "He's been acting really strange lately..."

Peter frowned. "Has he been possessed by evil lava again?" He asked. Izzy shook her head. "No. What I mean by strange is that first his hair is a lot rougher than usual, he's starting to crave meat, he can run like a cheetah, he can jump about ten feet, he has a very short temper, and worse... every night, he turns into a wolf. But we don't know what kind of wolf..."

Peter was shocked. This was strange. Jake. A wolf? Very impossible, but Peter had a feeling that he knew what was going on. "Follow me back into the hideout." was all he said before flying towards the entrance, with Izzy, Cubby, and Tinker Bell following behind him.

"Okay, now when did all of this start?" Peter asked as he browsed through some books in their library.

"Earlier this week, when he was bitten by something." Cubby answered.

"Bitten by what?"

"We don't know... but he said it was either a big dog... or a wolf."

"Hmmm... wild hair, meat craving, fast running, high jumping, short temper, wolf transformation... I've seen this before... I can tell it was a wolf."

Izzy, Cubby, Skully, and Tink listened and waited for Peter to explain further. After a moment of silence, Peter spoke.

"Jake wasn't just bitten by any old wolf... he was bitten... by a werewolf..."

The others gasped, so did Tink, but as usual, she sounded like bells. "A werewolf?" Skully asked in disbelief. "But I thought those things were a myth of some sort."

"And I thought there were no wolves in Never Land." Izzy added. Peter shook his head. "Apparently, there are. But as far as I know, no one has ever seen one up close... or in person."

This was getting stranger and more frightening now. It was kind of nice to know what really happened to Jake, but at the same time, they wish they hadn't known. It was scary enough that Jake was a wolf, but now knowing he was the vicious kind of wolf, it was just... freaky. "So, where is Jake?" Peter asked. "In one of our closets... he kind of... tried to kill us when we accidentally angered him."

Peter understood, and flew to where the closet was. When he heard banging, he automatically knew where it was. he turned a corner and heard growling behind a door. Carefully, he slowly walked up to the door. "Peter? What are you doing? If you let Jake out, he'll kill you." Izzy warned. Peter grinned. "Don't worry. I won't let him hurt me or any of you."

With that, Peter carefully unlocked the door and opened it. When doing so, he backed away as Jake stormed out of the door, growling with rage. He glared at Peter, and charged right at him. The others were shouting at Peter to look out and get out of the way, but he just stood there, looking brave. As soon as Jake was just inches away from the fly boy, Peter held up two fingers and pointed them towards the wolf boy, gentle tapping him on the nose, and causing him to halt in his tracks.

"Sit." Peter commanded, and Jake sat. Peter smirked. "Good kid." Izzy, Cubby, Skully, and Tink were amazed at how Peter was able to stop Jake from attacking them. It was like he had this experience before. "Yay hey, no way..." Izzy whispered. Peter then patted Jake on the head, which the boy admired again, panting happily. "He's a lot more settled down when he's not angry."

"He was like that last night." Izzy informed. "He didn't seem to hurt us, because I believe that he still knows who we are."

Peter thought, until he realized the pattern. "I get it now. When Jake is angry, he's vicious as a werewolf. But when he's not angry, he's gentle as a werewolf." He explain. "Then I guess we have to try real hard not to anger him." Cubby said.

"You know. Maybe that's why we found Jake all covered in blood that morning. He must've went out and killed something." Izzy said, watching as Jake played around them. "Let's hope that we're not next." Skully added. The gang continued to watch the wolf boy play, still wondering what it was gonna be like having a pirate friend and leader as a werewolf.

"Once you think about it... one minute Jake's a pirate leader, the next he's Mr. Hyde from 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'" Peter pointed out. That's when that moment, and the days to come, seemed like a musical number.

Oh leader, leader tell us
What's gotten in to you
Lately
We're beginning to think that there
Is nothin' in the world that you can't do

You're getting stronger
And faster
And bigger too
People keep on asking
'Is there something wrong with you?'
You're acting weird
And talking rude
And wolfing down your food
Everything lately brings the monster out in you

How do you do?
What's up with you?
Pirate leader Mister Hyde
How come you're howling at the moon
Tonight
We don't know what you're going through
We just hope you're gonna be alright
Now tell us, tell us
What should we do?
Now that the monsters out in you.

And now we're not so sure
We like the fact that things are turning out this way
We would rather have our pirate leader back
Than a werewolf for a best friend any day

You're getting stronger
And faster
And bigger to
People keep on asking
'Is there nothing we can do?'
You're acting weird
And talking rude
And wolfing down your food
Everything lately brings the monster out in you

How do you do?
What's up with you?
Pirate leader, Mister Hyde
How come you're howling at the moon
Tonight
We wish we knew what you're going through
We just hope you're gonna be alright
Now tell us, tell us
What should we do?
Now that the monsters out in you.

Throughout the rest of the week, Jake had been a lot more gruesome and violent as the days went past. He would beat up anybody who angered him, which would result in him become vicious as a werewolf. They tried to do the trick that Peter did, but sometimes it wouldn't work, and that would result in minor injuries. So they had no choice but to lock Jake back into the closet whenever he was angry, but at least there were some times where he wasn't enraged.

One night was a rough one. The Dark Pirates were sailing on their ship Lucky. Blake was glumly steering. He didn't really feel like looking for treasure. He didn't feel like doing anything at all. Not after being brutally assaulted by Jake. He still couldn't believe Jake had done that. It wasn't like that prank was going to kill him, so why did he flip out like that? Sure, he had gotten beatings by Jake before, but they weren't so brutal as that one that day.

"Darn it..." He muttered. He was healing well from the injuries, but there were still a few bruises here and there. His nose, which was broken, was also healing too, but very slowly. It was a dark shade of purple, and would throb every now and then. Blake figured that he had to know why Jake was so mad that day. But honestly, and he refused to admit it...

He was almost... afraid of Jake now.

He knew it seemed really wimpy of him, knowing that he's fearless of most things. But the way Jake was acting now... it made him seem like... like... a psycho. And just thinking about that word made Blake cringe. He hated being called a 'psycho' and would kill (or severly injure) anybody who dared to call him that.

Soon, they had reached Never Land. Blake reluctantly stepped foot on the sand. As he did, he spotted Jake and his crew, along with (to his disgust) Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.

"Well, if it isn't the devil spawn himself and his friends." Peter said as he saw them. Then noticed something. "Hey. What's up with Blake? He doesn't look too happy. And he looks like he got beat up."

"He did." Izzy informed him. "When he played a prank one day, Jake wasn't so happy, and almost killed him."

Peter was shocked, but chuckled a bit. "Well, it's about time that demon got what he deserves."

"But he didn't deserve such a harsh beating."

"I'll say he did."

Jake was the one who said that. He was glaring at his evil double. He was still kinda ticked by that prank. He wanted to kill him, but it was Izzy who stopped him. Blake slowly walked up to Jake, frowning. "Ahoy, Jake." He greeted miserably. "Hey listen. I'm really sorry for that prank the other day. I didn't know it would make you that mad. But you know how I am. But I also wanna ask you... what's been up with you lately?"

Blake was expecting Jake to answer, but instead the pirate boy reached forward and grabbed his double by the neck, and holding him up high. "You wanna know what's been up with me...?" Jake snarled in a menacing tone. "I tell you what... you, and everybody else have been pissing me off for past few freaking days?! You're always asking me 'what's wrong' or 'Are you okay?' I'M FREAKING FINE! Who cares if I have a short temper now?! Who cares if I have new abilities?! Who cares if I like meat more than I use too?! "Who cares if I seem different than before?! But you know what... I LIKE THOSE CHANGES, AND I'M NOT GONNA GO BACK TO WHAT I WAS BEFORE!"

Everybody was shocked at Jake's sudden outburst. He was really annoyed now. Before Blake could even answer, Jake threw him to the ground, and drew his sword. Realizing that Jake was probably gonna slay the boy, Tinker Bell flew over to him, and pulled at his vest. Jake growled. "Let go!" He snapped, slapping the fairy. Tink hit the ground with a small thud. Peter gasped, and flew over to her aid. The others were too afraid of what Jake was gonna do to Blake, but they knew they had to stop it.

Before Jake could even raise his sword, he growled loudly, and held his head. Everybody except Blake knew what was coming. Jake was transforming again. Blake's mouth hung wide open as he saw the wolf version of Jake. Jake growled at him again, prompting him to get up and run away. Jake was about to go after him, but Peter's nose tapping stop him. "No. Stay, Jake. Sit." Peter commanded, and Jake did so. "How come that didn't work the last few times?" Cubby asked. Peter shrugged. "I'm not sure. But we need to go back to Pirate Island. I need to get Tink a very tiny ice pack..."

It seemed like Peter was going to continue, and he did.

"And we need to find an expect on wolves."

Well. It looks like Peter (And Tink too!) have arrived. I seem to put Peter in a lot of my stories. Yep, that song was 'Little Brother, Mister Hyde' from AATC meets the Wolfman (I changed some things to fit the story). So that's it for this chapter. Try to expect the next chapter on either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Key word: try. We're gonna meet an expert who may have the solution to help Jake. I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review. Thank you.

PS: Do you actually feel sorry for Blake now? (I sure do) Tell me in a review if you do.
