Thank you so much for all the reviews, favorites and alerts! ^_^ I can't believe how many I've gotten!
Disclaimer: The Secret Saturdays does not belong to me.
Please note that this story is Major AU.
Summary: The Saturdays are sent to a town to investigate some black wolf sightings. They meet Zak, a kid who roams the forest next to the town. But Zak is the black wolf and also has Cryptid powers; can the young hybrid keep his secrets safe? Especially after Argost seems to know that he's hiding something. And on top of all that the Saturdays and the Secret Scientists are starting to get a little suspicious.
IMPORTANT: I rewrote Chapter 5 to be Part 1, so make sure you read Part 1 and not the original Chapter 5 before reading this chapter!
Howl Of The Wolf
Chapter 6: Of Powers And Cryptids: Part 2
Zak highly disliked this feeling of unknown and his instincts warned him of impending danger.
The death trap thorn bush long forgotten, Zak realized the Saturdays were blissfully unaware of the looming disaster, unaware of the three Tapire-Iauaras and the two foul scents approaching.
He knew he had to warn them.
"Guys! Watch out!" Zak shouted.
They looked up at him in confusion.
"Why? There's nothing here except for us." Doyle asked.
As if they were answering his question, the Tapire-Iauaras jumped into the clearing, roaring angrily as they landed on the green grass.
'Uh oh. Not good.' Zak thought, catching sight of a gleam from one of angry Cryptid's sharp deadly claws.
"Greetings and bienvenue." A cold menacing voice cut like a knife through the clearing. Two figures appeared in the clearing, they were the other scents.
Zak recognized them as V. V. Argost and Munya from Weird World. He had seen the show a couple times, and had learned that they were evil and cruel from hearing stories of what they had done from some Cryptids and watching Weird World, but he did not yet know just how evil and cruel they actually were.
The Saturdays immediately got into fighting stances, and it was obvious to Zak that they had meet before and were enemies.
"I see you have recruited some help looking for that mysterious wolf." Argost said when he saw Zak.
"Leave him alone Argost." Drew threatened. She and the rest of the family moved in front of Zak as to protect him.
Zak felt undignified. He did not need them to protect him.
'Hey! I can protect myself!' He thought, obviously annoyed. His pride was now hurt.
"Do not fear. The child is not my target… but unfortunately for him, he happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time." Argost said, cackling evilly.
The Tapire-Iauaras crept closer; stalking the family's every move with their eyes.
"Anyone got any bright ideas?" Doyle asked, grabbing a couple concussion grenades.
Fiskerton shook his head.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the Tapire-Iauaras attacked. They shoved the Saturdays away and left Fiskerton. The predators started to circle the frightened gorilla cat and to Zak's horror he realized they were going in for the kill.
"Fiskerton!" Zak shouted, he knew that he had to use his Cryptid powers to save Fiskerton. No matter who would see it.
But he could never have guessed how much saving the gorilla cat would change his life forever.
Zak ran in front of the Cryptids, activating his Cryptid powers as he ran.
"Get away from him!" Zak shouted, raising the Claw, which was glowing orange like his eyes.
The Tapire-Iauaras snarled as they fought Zak's powers. But Zak would not give up so easily and concentrated harder.
Finally, the angry Cryptids settled down and stopped snarling.
'Ok, time to go home now.' The Tapire-Iauaras backed away and ran back to their own territory.
'Good kitties.' Zak thought, deactivated his powers.
He looked behind him to see if Fiskerton was alright.
The gorilla cat was unscathed, but, like the rest of his family, he was very surprised by Zak's powers.
Argost and Munya's faces remained emotionless, as usual.
"This is an interesting development. Come Munya." With that, Argost and Munya were gone.
"That was close." Zak sighed, relaxing now that the danger had passed.
He looked at the Saturdays, who were all still gaping at him.
"What?" He asked, confused as to why they were acting so strange because he had used his powers. He knew it wasn't something many people could do, but he didn't see the big deal.
Drew finally spoke up.
"Do you know what you just did?"
"What kinda question is that? I just used my Cryptid powers to save Fisk from being eaten."
"Zak, I think you should come with us." They started to usher him in the direction of their airship.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Zak dug his heels into the ground. "I am not going anywhere with some random strangers that I don't even know!"
"Alright look. Your powers are the only thing that can stop the ancient Cryptid Kur if it was to be released. Argost is trying to release Kur, and since you're the only one who could stop it, that makes you a threat, which means you're a target for Argost." Drew quickly explained.
Zak wasn't sure what to make of this news. He cocked his head to the side and stammered. "Wh-What?"
Drew sighed. "Never mind. We need to talk to your parents because you're in serious danger."
Zak snapped back to reality. "My parents? Uh…. my parents are… my parents are… on vacation! Yeah, on vacation."
"And they left you here all alone?" Doc raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! I mean no! Uhg." Zak was tired of answering these people and he didn't like making his parents sound like they just packed up and left him to fend for himself.
'They would've never done that. Never.' He thought sadly. 'I really miss them.'
He felt sad thinking about his lost parents. They had loved him and would never have left him all alone.
Zak pushed his feelings of sadness and loneliness away. This wasn't the time to feel sad.
"I don't have to tell you anything! And I won't! And I'm not going with you no matter what either!" Zak shouted angrily. He turned and ran away, he wasn't going to stick around with these strangers anymore.
Zak: Man, I miss my parents… *Sniff* *Sniff*
White Wolf: Oh no, Zak! Please don't cry! You know I can't take it when you cry!
Zak: *Sob*
White Wolf: *Sob* Now *Sob* You've got me *Sob* Crying! *Sob*
*Zak and White Wolf cry*
By the way, I don't know if you noticed but I am now calling myself White Wolf. ^_^
Also, you'll find out some more about Zak's parents later.
Man, I am SO slow at updating….. I'm really mad at myself. '-_-
But I do think that I can update faster now, 'cause I've got a lot already planned out! ^_^ And I know I say that every time…. '-_-
Please review! ^_^
