Chapter 5
The Boy Who Didn't Cry Wolf
I reverted my right arm into a scythe blade arm, while Movaak reverted his left arm into the black arm claw. Anuy went in front of the 2 old men and the woman. And the beast was stepping right into the hut. I can finally make out what it looks like.
The beast had a golden coating of fur with golden hair that went down to its broad shoulders. Its ears were big, its snout was big, its red eyes were sharp looking, and its limbs was muscular. The tail was swishing dangerously fast. And its claws were looking really sharp. Saliva was dripping from its mouth, and when it touched the ground of the hut...it burned? What the...acid?
I don't think Anuy should be fighting. Better tell her now.
"Anuy! Nevermind us, I think you should bring the old men and the woman to safety. That way, we'll have less casualties!" Anuy whimpered.
"W-what? But what about you..." I grinned.
"It's alright. I think me and Movaak can fend this werewolf off on our own. Just heed my word." Anuy nodded slowly, and wheeled away quickly. But the werewolf probably understood what I was trying to say.
The werewolf lunged forward and grabbed one of the old men. Lifting him up, the werewolf used its other arm and impaled right through the old man's stomach, blood splattered the whole interior of the hut. The werewolf licked the blood off of its face. What a...fiend.
It looked like Anuy tried to push the woman out of the hut, but she wouldn't budge.
"F-father! My father! He's...dead!" The woman's face was pale. Like sickly pale.
"Anuy, hurry!" Anuy nodded, and with a determined look on her face, finally pushed the woman and the old man out of the hut. It was only me, Movaak, the werewolf, and the corpse of the woman's father. My insides were churning like crazy. This thing won't hesitate to kill in a grotesque manner.
"Will, what are you doing? Come on, let's fight this thing!" Movaak reeled his fist back and punched forward, hitting the werewolf's stomach. The result made the werewolf fly back out of the hut and into the waters below. Me and Movaak went outside and looked around.
Well, there were many interconnected docks which created somewhat of a path. The waters below were inky black. And I smelled...fire. Looking around some more, I saw several of the huts burning. Wow, did the werewolf do this? Suddenly, from below us, the wooden planks under us broke apart.
The werewolf jumped out from the water and slashed at us. I had to bring my scythe blade arm in front of me to protect myself. But the attack still took full effect, and I flew back until I crashed into another green-looking hut. Ouch, backache. Getting up, I found myself 10 feet away from Movaak and the werewolf. Wow, they were really at it.
Movaak punched the werewolf's face and the werewolf kicked Movaak's groin. Ummm...I wonder which attack dealt more damage? I was surprised when Movaak did a front flip and kicked the werewolf's face again, sending it crashing into a rocky outcropping from the water. The impact made the rocks shatter.
I ran to regroup with Movaak, and it looked like he was hurting, bad. He was holding onto his crotch too. So it did hurt bad.
"Will...um, I'm not gonna be able to fight. Somehow, I think I just lost a part of me." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, that's what you get for punching me in the groin when we were at the testing area back at Besaid." Movaak scoffed.
"That was a long time ago."
"So? It still hurted."
Movaak smacked his forehead. "Will, this is a life and death situation. Now just hurry up and get that frickin werewolf out of Kilika." I sighed and walked away, searching for any movement in the water. But there was none.
"Hey Movaak, I don't think the werewolf is here anym..."
"GAAAHHH!!" I spun around and went wide-eyed. The werewolf was right behind us the whole time. The werewolf already had Movaak in his grasp, and the werewolf's other arm already impaled Movaak's stomach. So yeah, there's a hole visible in Movaak's stomach. Damn...DAMN!!
"YOU STUPID WOLF! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" I sprinted towards the werewolf and slashed at its stomach, but it blocked my attack with its forearms. I only gave it a scratch. Oh no.
The werewolf opened its arms wide, smacking me in the face, and howled. The howl was so strong, I was sent flying into the water. Geeehh...this werewolf...its too strong. Man, and Movaak is dead. I've never seen a dead person close up before. Can Anuy heal him? I opened my eyes and swam up to the surface. I then grabbed the side of the wooden planks and lifted myself up. I'm still surprised at what Movaak can do.
Have you ever seen two sumo wrestlers grabbing each others shoulders and trying to make each other get out of the ring? Yeah, this here kinda looked familiar. Movaak, even with a hole in his stomach, had grabbed the werewolf's shoulders, and the werewolf did the same. It looked fierce, but Movaak was losing alot of blood. I gotta help him!
I ran forward and held my scythe blade up. But I didn't expect the werewolf's tail to slap me away.
"Will! I can take this werewolf on my own!" I got up and ran forward again. Pff, Movaak is such a show off. He's about to lose his life against this thing.
I approached the tail and sliced it off. The werewolf howled and swung its left forearm at me. I ducked and executed a swift diagonal slash with my scythe blade. Blood was starting to seep out of the werewolf's wounds...until a new tail and arm appeared from the dismembered limbs. What the...I just cut it off. Ooohhhhh...regeneration. Wait, then this werewolf isn't a Fiend, its...a Hiend. A fully integrated one. NO WAY!!
"Wow Will, you finally found out?" I turned my head to look towards Movaak.
"What do you mean 'found out already'?'" Movaak was gasping heavily. He doesn't have that much time left.
"The usual Fiend types here in Kilika are bugs, plants and the usual Thunder Element. There was never a sighting of a werewolf...until AFTER Summoner Yuna's ritual dance. Which means, a villager from here transformed." I was at a loss for words. A villager, turning into a fully integrated Hiend? Was that even possible?
"Remember Will, several people can get half Hiend and fully integrated Hiend abilities from out of body experiences. And because you had an experience like that, you gained a half Hiend ability. I'll tell you later about their differences." I had a blank look on my face.
"Yeah, but, you're gonna die soon, right?" Movaak's eyes went wide.
"WHAT?! I'm not gonna die! Watch this! Buster Bomb Punch!!" Movaak inhaled deeply, and reeled his black arm claw back and with a grunt, punched right into the werewolf's chest. A huge, fiery explosion emitted from Movaak's clawed fist, and from the force of the wind I was sent back sliding across the wooden planks. Aaaiii, I hope I didn't get a sliver stuck in my back.
I sat up and saw Movaak already on the ground while the werewolf was no where to be seen. Wait, is Movaak dead? I crawled over to Movaak and saw him...munching on some kind of feather. But then, Movaak's eyes fluttered open and he looked at me. Hey, he doesn't have a hole in his stomach anymore.
"I just ate a Phoenix Down item. Don't worry, its legendary for bring the dead back to life." I shook my head, grabbed hold of his arm and brought him standing.
"You know, I might want some of those Phoenix Downs." Movaak chuckled.
"Be my guest. But right now, I don't think I injured the werewolf bad enough for it to run away. It's gonna come back...like right now." The water near us exploded and the werewolf jumped out. Doing a front flip in the air it landed onto the wooden planks with a 'gathump'. But there was now a burned scar on its right chest. Nice.
"Great, Will, we're gonna have to retreat. We can't beat this thing, its too strong." I sighed and nodded.
"Good idea, let me carry you." That's when I heard a 'twing' sound. Looking at the werewolf, I saw...the right chest being plunged by a golden arrow. That's where the heart is. Looking around, I saw a shadowed figure wearing a yellow jacket on top of the hut's roof. What the...who's that?
The werewolf whimpered with tears streaming from its eyes, and ran off quickly into the woods. Is that person, really that strong to make the werewolf run away?
"Hey, you guys should've attacked the heart. It would stop the werewolf completely. Or use silver weapons." The boy came down from the roof of the hut and walked towards us. I was ashamed.
It was an asian kid, probably 13 years old. He looked pretty skinny, but juuuust right for his age and height. He had short black hair, light brown eyes and skin, a black shirt can be seen under a zipped down yellow jacket. He also wore blue jeans and black shoes. It looked like Nike, dunno, I can't tell from the dark. He had a golden bow armed in his hand. The golden bow had a really cool looking thing in the middle of the string, a silver wing that fluttered from the air. And in his pocket was a tucked in black handgun. Wow, this kid must be good.
The kid smiled. "Hey, the name's Tsuki, how do you do?" He held out his hand, and I grabbed it. He's 7 inches...shorter than me. Pff...GAHAHAHAHAHA! Tsuki had an eyebrow raised.
"Your face looks funny. Something on your mind?" I snapped out of my laughing trance.
"Eh? Oh, nothing. It's just, wow, your kinda short. How old are you?"
"I'm 13." Wow, he spoke quickly right after I asked my question. Very nice.
"Ooohhh...so, where's your parents? Shouldn't you be with them?" Tsuki scratched his head.
"I don't want to talk about it." I nodded.
"You're pretty good with the bow. Where'd you learn it from?" Tsuki smiled triumphantly.
"I learned it all by myself! And I can use this handgun just as good!" I smirked.
"Is that so? That's nice, but I have a..."
"Will, come, let's go. We shouldn't get this kid involved with us, even if he's good." I looked at Tsuki, and back at Movaak.
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry Tsuki, we gotta go. See yah man." Tsuki frowned and slumped.
"Okay." We parted ways that time.
Morning, probably 7:34 am
I was already at the pier where the ships were anchored. I had my legs hung down into the water, feeling the nice coolness of it all. The morning sun was quite beautiful, just like yesterday morning. Wow, many things has happened last night.
Anuy had sent the woman and the old man back to their places. The Tsuki kid that we met also came with us. We buried the corpse of at least 5 villagers. And Anuy had to do a ritual dance to send them to the Farplane. Heh, I forgot all about that place. The Farplane in the game was pretty much the spirit world or something like that.
Tsuki wanted to sleep over with us, so yeah, Anuy complied. Movaak snored too loud, so I had to get out of there and sleep somewhere else. And my sleeping spot? The pier. It was actually really nice. And now that its morning, I don't regret sleeping out here.
I heard footsteps coming towards me. Turning my head to the source of the footsteps, I saw a teenaged girl come towards me.
She had light green eyes and light brown skin. Her shining blond hair was tied in a ponytail, with a white lilac flower stuck on her left ear. She wore a yellow swimming bra and some kind of yellow skirt that had a slit on the sides, which you can see her thighs clearly. She also had her stomach exposed. She also wore wooden sandals. Wow, and she had a good figure. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. But the most weirdest thing was that there was some black burn marks being covered by her bra. Wonder what happened to her?
The girl waved and smiled. "Hello sir, what are you doing here at the pier? Isn't it cold?" I didn't say anything. I was still mesmerized by her. I have to say something, right?
"It's...not that cold." The girl giggled and sat down next to me. That's...not good. I'm having a weird feeling in my...private area. Oh man, this is NOT good. I brought my legs up and wrapped my arms around. There, that's better.
"Well, to me, you look very cold. Want to me hug you to keep warm?" My face turned really warm. What is she trying to do?
"No, nonononononono, it's alright! Honestly! It's not that cold. I just...feel relaxed in this position?" What am I saying?
The girl nodded and looked out towards the sea. "My name's Leila. Leila Evans. You?"
"It's Will. Will Priston." Leila nodded and looked at me.
"I think I've seen you somewhere. In a dream, I think. It was freaky though." I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? How so?" Leila twiddled with her fingers.
"Well...I was killing many people. I was tall, really tall. And I was continuing to kill people until 2 people stopped me. Someone that looked like you, and a man with red, spiky hair."
What the...that situation she's talking about sounds VERY familiar.
"We started fighting each other, but I felt something really hot enter my heart. I had tears in my eyes, and I was crying...so I ran. And that's when I woke up in a deep sweat. Hehe." Leila chuckled shyly.
I didn't say anything. Can she be...
"But you know, then I got out of the house and saw you here sitting at the pier. Isn't that strange? Hahaha." Leila was smiling and placed her arms behind her back. "Hey, I wanna show you something. Follow me." She got up and held her hand out. I think that's spelling big trouble.
"Um, I can't right now." Leila tipped her head to the side.
"W-why not?" I sighed.
"I have an injury on my back, so its kind of hard to move around." Leila twiddled with her fingers, again.
"Okay then...I'll get the thing I want to show you. Don't move anywhere, okay?" I nodded and smiled. She giggled and ran off. Okay, time to tell the others.
I got up from my sitting position, covered the blanket I used for sleeping here around my waist, and ran off into the green hut that we were in last night. When I entered, Movaak and Anuy was still sleeping. But Tsuki was gone. That kid, he must be an early riser. I got down on my knees besides Movaak's futon, and started pushing him and slapping his face.
"Movaak, wake up. WAKE UP!!" Movaak's eyes fluttered and he bolted from his futon. He then punched me quickly in the face. Hard. "GWAAAHH!! Movaak, that hurt!" Movaak sleepily looked around and saw me with a bloody nose. His eyes went wide.
"Whoa...for a moment there I thought we were reliving the event from last night. Sorry man." Movaak took out a tissue from a tissue box near his bed and handed it over to me. I stuffed the entire tissue up my bleeding nose. "So, why with the early wake up?"
I told him everything what Leila told me at the pier. But I think he's not getting the point.
"Ah, so this girl is interested in you, huh? She get's a dream about someone that looks EXACTLY like you, and for some reason, she sees YOU at the pier. And that pier must be her special place as well. Wow, destiny sure is sweet." I kicked Movaak in the stomach, making him crumple forward.
"That's not what I'm trying to explain. I have a feeling that in her supposed 'dream', that she's the werewolf, attacking US. And she felt a searing pain in her heart. That was the arrow Tsuki shot. So Leila...has to be the werewolf!" Movaak had a blank look on his face and layed down in bed again. Pff, Movaak is so useless sometimes. Anuy woke up though.
"Oh...good morning Will." I bowed down to her and said my good mornings to her.
"Its a great morning today Anuy, you should go outside." Anuy smiled and sat up from her bed.
"It is beautiful. But I must take a shower. Care to come with me?" I glanced at Movaak, and then back at Anuy.
"Sure."
Me and Anuy, which she was in her wheelchair, was walking side by side. I was carrying Anuy's towel and shampoo of sorts, she was carrying her extra clothing. It was the same tight shirt and mini skirt that she always wears.
The showering spot was a huge, red colored hut that had steam coming out of the windows and chimney. I hope its not crowded with people. We got in, and luckily, no one was there. I covered the towel over my eyes while Anuy stripped off her clothing. I was really tempted, but I was doing really well not to peek.
Once inside the shower stall, Anuy turned on the water. I just sat on some kind of stool. I leaned my back on the shower stall's door and closed my eyes. I need to figure this out. We were attacked by a werewolf last night. But then, in the morning, I see Leila appear out of no where and speak to me. And she related her dream with me, which is VERY familiar with what happened last night. And she also had that...black scorch mark which was being hidden by her bra. It has to be her!
"Will? You seem to be very quiet. Anything wrong?" I opened my eyes and smiled.
"Nah, nothings wrong. I was just thinking." I heard the shampoo bottle squirting out...shampoo.
"Oh? Thinking about what?"
"About last night's attack. I think I know who did it."
"You mean...the werewolf was a fully integrated Hiend?"
"Yeah...hey Anuy, is there other ways of attaining the Hiend ability other than experimentational fusion and out of body experiences?" I didn't hear Anuy say anything for 40 seconds.
"Yeah, there is a way. If there are many dead people, summoners are needed to bring peace to the spirits. But some spirits feels so attached to their world, that they would start to 'infect' another being that's having a happy and joyful life. Looks like this person you're talking about has a happy life, and a spirit has been getting jealous of her."
Well, Leila did look really happy. Hmmm...
"And there's no other way to take it out?"
"Nope, once you attain the power of a Hiend, you either kill yourself, or deal with it. Well, that's what I've heard." I smiled. Wow, Anuy is talking alot.
"Anuy, don't be looking for me tonight, okay?" Anuy gasped.
"Why? Are you gonna do something dangerous?" Anuy opened the stall door and peeked at me. I had to lean to not get hit.
"Um, Anuy, I think you should close the door, I don't want to see..." Anuy then came out of the shower stall and looked at me seriously. I had to hold the towel over my face to not see her entire body being exposed.
"ANUY!! GET BACK IN THE SHOWER!!" Anuy sighed and went back in.
"Just be careful, okay? If you don't come back...I'll be worried." I grinned.
"...Thanks for worrying about me, but I'll be okay."
Night Time, I know what time it is, it's 10:35 P.M
I was hiding behind a hut, looking over the wall. I saw Leila walking along the docks, heading towards a forest. Isn't that...Kilika Forest? I crouched down and started to power walk towards her. And then quickly I hid behind another hut before she turned around. Okay, she's getting really suspicious.
She finally entered the forest, and I had to hide behind a tree to not get seen. Luckily, it was a huge, wide tree. Peeking from the cover of the tree, I couldn't see anything but her head, her body was being covered by a thick bush. Better get her exposed before its too late. I cleared my voice quietly.
"Leila, I know you're there." Leila's head looked around.
"W-who's there?" I was about to walk through the bush when Leila said, "Wait, don't come near me! I'm naked! Just please, go away!" I gritted my teeth and walked through the bush. There she was covering her breasts and covering her private area. I wasn't even gonna look there. But...yeah...
"Will! W-what are you doing here? P-please, get out, NOW!" I shook my head.
"I know it was you, Leila. You're the werewolf, aren't you?" Leila chuckled shyly.
"Hehe, i-it took you long enough, now please, get out!" I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Let me see the burn mark that Movaak gave you." Leila shook her head. "I SAID, LET ME SEE THE BURN MARK!" Leila started sobbing. Ah man, this is not good. I made someone cry! What am I gonna do? Err...I don't think I can soothe her, I mean, I just yelled at her!
"Leila, please, just let me see 'part' of the burn mark." Leila just kept on sobbing, but I saw her finally taking her hand off of her right breast. Well, I didn't really see the whole thing, so its still good. Although...gah, nevermind. The burn mark wasn't that big, probably the size of a marble. Wow, Movaak's attack didn't really injure her.
"I-I'm sorry Will. I'm really sorry..." I sighed and looked at her face. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Leila, try to control your Fiend power." Leila was breathing heavily, and then she screamed. I jumped back. I mean, that was the most random scream I've ever heard. It freaked me out!
"I CAN'T!! I CAN'T CONTROL IT! I'M SORRY WILL!!" My eyes went wide. Her body was starting to bulge into muscles, her nose was forming into a snout, and her face was getting much more similar to a...werewolf. Her ponytail was suddenly turned into loose golden hair that went down to her shoulders. Her breasts turned into buff muscule, and her lean stomach suddenly turned into 6 pack abs. Her fingers morphed into claws and her toes did the same. Oh no.
Leila stared down at me with red, glaring eyes. NOT AGAIN!!
--
A/N: Wow, the werewolf was more of a boss fight, it looks like. And also, who is this Tsuki kid? And how did Leila attain her Hiend powers? And who was the spirit that was so envious of her happy and joyful life? And...will Will be able to fight Leila, all by himself? Hope you guys enjoy the story, and please R&R!! :)

Once the dance finished, the entire Evans family went back home and just talked about the Summoner group. But Leila felt very different than usual. At night, she had no memory of this, but she transformed into her full Hiend form, and slaughtered her entire family.

But every night she would think of her family, and she would then transform into the werewolf. She still has no memory of the people she killed. It may all change though...
