Hey everybody! I will now be accepting oc's, and ot's. The form is at the end of the chapter.
Try to guess the name of the evil spirit. The first person to get it will get a cookie and an honorable mention in the next chapter.
Ch, 4: Patel
The green apple changes Lawrence. His grey eyes are now amber. Lawrence attacks me. He surprises me, so much that I am stunned for a few seconds before I fight back. I start blocking the hits he throws at me. Something is in control of him. Normally, he isn't a good fighter. Also, his wolf powers are being used to their full potential. He could not have learned so quickly. It's like he is being possessed by an evil spirit. I am having a hard time fighting back. For every punch I block, two hit me. Slowly, I start wearing out. I try talking some sense into him. "Lawrence, it's me, Holo. Remember me? We travelled together. I love you; you love me."
"Holo!" he snarls. The mention of my name seems to have angered him more. I can't keep this up much longer. He is too powerful for me. I see a punch headed for me. I am too weak to block it. When it makes contact, I collapse onto the floor, defeated.
Accepting defeat and my possible death, I lay there, waiting. However, my savior chooses to come and help me. I see a white aura emanate from me. The white cloud swirls in front of me. It begins to take the shape of a humanoid. I see ears and a tail form, snow white. Her hair is white, also. She looks to be of the age of 11. "Hey Holo, I see that you have some trouble over here." I instantly recognise that voice. It is Primrose, my guardian angel. The possessed Lawrence assaults her. Prim swiftly dodges him. She gets behind him, and in one hit, knocks him out. Quickly, she ties him to the bed. "He must really not like those apples," she laughs.
"How did you do that?" I ask.
"I can take any physical form I want, but it is tiring. Speaking of which, I'm going to pass out, now." She falls to the floor, disappearing into a puff of smoke which goes back to me. I decide to focus on the main problem and ask Prim what she did later. Lawrence wakes up and tries to escape. Luckily for me, he is trapped there.
Okami runs into the room asking, "What was all that commotion?" She looks at Lawrence before sighing. "I knew this would have happened."
"What is it?"
"Lawrence is now a channel in which he can get possessed. His will is too weak to stop it. What was the trigger?"
"It was the green apple he ate." With that information, Okami takes a green apple and forces him to eat it. Nothing happens, though. "The yellow ones change him from human to part wolf and back," I tell her. She is more confident when she feeds him the yellow one. Nothing happens, he doesn't even change to full human. Finally, she gives him the red one. Lawrence passes out.
"He will be better when he wakes up. You should get some rest, too. I will tell you what happened, tommorrow."
~S&W~
I open my eyes to see that it is a new day. I look over to Lawrence. He is not in his bed.I walk out of my room, towards the dining room. I see my sister and Lawrence eating breakfast. Walk over to my lover to kiss him good morning.
"Now that you are here, Holo, I can start explaining what happened yesterday," she says, "Lawrence wasn't born a wolf and cannot fully control his powers. He is weak to the powers of the spirit that controls him. However, the spirit needs the help of a trigger to posses him. That is the green apple. Other apples do other effects to him, because of the original one. If there is one created, there must also be the opposite, the red apple. The yellow apple changes his form due to the fact that I couldn't just give him powers without a way of taking them away."
"What will we do about this spirit?" Lawrence asks.
"You just have to prevent it from happening. Don't eat green apples. If he does get possessed, bring some red apples with you. Bring some yellow ones, too. They may be useful to you." Okami takes out a few of the apples she mentioned. "I charmed these apples for you. They will never go bad." We take the apples and thank my sister.
"I guess we will be going then." We all say our goodbyes. We get into our cart and go of to the next town.
~S&W~
We arrive at the wooded town of Emazu. The houses here are constructed within the trunks of the trees. There are bridges that connect between the trees as well as a land path. It must have took years building this town. I assume they built into the trees, because they are too thick or heavy to cut down. They have a diameter of a couple hundred feet. They are perfect to live in. The only problem I see is the lack of area for farmland. As we make our walk towards the center of town, I see how they grow food. There are fruit trees surrounding us. Pears, oranges, bananas, and best of all, apples! I look inside one of the tree-houses to see little greenhouses growing starchy foods like potatoes. An exceptionally large one houses different kinds of livestock. They had living in trees down to a science. In the center of town, there is a small clearing. It was most likely made by the large tree in the center blocking out the light for any trees that try to take root here. There is a sign next to the large tree. It says "Residence of Village Chief: Patel" His name is not familiar to me, but he still might have some information on who else might be up in the north.
Inside the tree, we see a wolf sitting behind his desk. He looks up to us, and his eyes light up. "Hello, my name is Patel, you two must be Lawrence and Holo," he welcomes.
I question, "How do you know our names?"
He pauses for a second before responding, "Your sister, Okami told me you were coming this way. I guess you want something from me?"
"We just wanted to ask you if you knew the places of other wolves in the north. However, I would also like to know a little bit about your town over here."
"Sure, sure. Would you like to come inside my home for some rest, you must have come a long way," he surmises. Patel stands up to open a door to his house. It is very roomy inside here. There is much more room than it looks from the outside. I see many wood carvings inside his abode. They seem to be a wolf. The same one, too. I look at one up close. I see "Snow" carved on it. "I see that you are liking my pieces of artwork," Patel observes.
I ask, "Who is 'Snow'?"
"He is a friend of mine," he responds. We walk towards the fireplace. Lawrence and I sit on the couch. Patel remains standing. "Would you like some tea or cakes?" he asks.
"That would sound good," Lawrence says. Patel comes back with a teapot and a platter of desserts. He pours us some tea.
"So, what would you like to know?"
"Do you know about anybody up in the north?"
"Ah, yes. I know a few people and towns close to here. I don't know many, though. I'm sorry I can't be very helpful." His ears droop down, he looks sad.
"Is there anybody that does know the villages?" Lawrence asks.
Patel's eyes light up. "Yes, there is. I know a man. He keeps a record of many things. He will likely know places you can go. I believe I've seen a map in his library, too."
"We should be going, then," I say.
Patel frowns. He looks out the window. "It's late, he will be asleep. You are welcome to stay here for the night." I think I hear a bit of relief in his voice. I think he is up to something. His demeanor is like Okami's when she was planning something. This time, though, I feel as if something bad is going to happen.
"We should be careful," Prim cautions, "I feel something bad is going to happen, too."
I hear a time go off. "I will be back in a few minutes," Patel says. I hear him take something out of an oven. I smell a delicious scent in the air.
After the while, Patel come back. He brings a cake with him. I am suspicious. "What should I do, Prim?"
"Eat teh cake!" she squeals. I guess that nothing bad could happen. He does look like a nice person. Lawrence and I take a slice. He takes a bite, followed by me. It tastes really good. I taste something sour in it. It is crunchy, like an apple. Wait! Sour apple!
I am too late, Lawrence is already possessed.
