Chapter 3: Attacked Under A Full Moon

Butch's POV (11:00am; Sat)

--

"...You really need to get a life you know that."

I tell the new presence that just entered the room I am currently occupying, "You're one to talk Butch... you never get out and do anything either, so unless you plan on doing as you say I should do stop trying to lecture me." Sighing I turn to face my new friend or that's what he likes to he call himself, I don't really like werewolves though... they're messy, smelly, and way too moody for my taste.

"Whatever... waste your life how you see fit it won't bother me... unless you plan to keep wasting it around here, then we might have a problem." Glancing over I see that he's occupied the old, dusty, and just slightly torn couch.

"When was.. the last time you dusted... this place.. anyways man?" He says while trying to keep his coughing in, I shrug and mutter a reply of 'Maybe about fifty years ago.'

"That long... you really need to go out and get a girlfriend dude. Or at least hire a maid..."

I just decide to ignore him and lean backwards against the stone wall, to try and relax if that's even possible with him around. He flips on the tv and I sigh... why can't I just kill this kid? Oh well... he'll die eventually they all do... hmm, might even die tonight... but no I'm not that lucky.

"Butch... you really need to get more channels, or maybe just buy some dvds... wait no then you'd need a dvd player. Well I could always let you borrow mine-" He talks to much, and it's annoying the hell out of me...

"Boomer shut up!"

"So then I guess you're not in the mood to hear me talk today... okay then you talk and I'll listen." Annoying little...

"Why don't I just kill you, I would be a hell of a lot happier with you gone." He just shrugs and acts like it's no big deal... he's the only person that's not afraid of us it's strange maybe it's the werewolf inside of him, I don't know since he's the only werewolf that I've ever let stay around... they're all so noisy, cocky, and moody and he's exactly the same so why is it he's still alive?

"Maybe you're just to soft... ever thought of that Butch..."

Great, he's awake... surprisingly I didn't hear the back door open. "Brick... you're here!" I just lean back and close my eyes before saying, "That's not it... I'm more than capable of killing anybody... I just don't feel like it. That's all..."

Hmfp if anyone besides Brick even jokes around about me being soft I'd rip their lungs out and feed it back to them... but it's not like Brick needs his lungs anyways so why bother ripping them out.

I glance over at Boomer, I really should just kill the little fucker he really is a pain and he always brings trouble when he's around and I'm just not in the mood for any more trouble, not right now anyways...

Boomer's POV (11:45am; Sat)

"Brick... you're here!" I nearly shout not being able to hide my surprise... Brick hardly ever stays with Butch, something about them not being able to stand each other for very long anymore. Though... the both manage to stand being around me, still I'm not to very fond of Brick... he's a bit brutal if you ask me, I'd never go out of my way just to kill someone as slowly and painfully as like he does.

But that doesn't mean I'm not just as guilty as he is, even if I was never myself when I did it... it doesn't really matter, all that matters is that I did do it and on some twisted sick level I liked it. Killing can bring me both immense pain and pleasure, but I don't want to feel either of them... the olny way to avoid that is to avoid killing, and I can't do that, I'm just not capable of that kind of restraint.

"That's not it... I'm more than capable of killing anybody... I just don't feel like it. That's all..." I hear Butch reply to Brick's earlier comment, even I can't say anything to Butch about him being a softy... not that he is. I have no doubts that he'd kill me if I did, I know my limits... I might push them a bit but never too much I do after all have a strong sense of preservation.

Besides he doesn't have to put up with me but he does... he could probably care less if I die tonight by another werewolf or a hunter, but then again these are the type of friends I have and I don't mind a bit. Besides who wants someone to care if they live, die, or even kill... I don't.

"Well... you had a fun night, huh Brick."

It's more of a statement than question, though I am curious as to what he's planning I mean why is he only killing around that one area he's up to something I know it... and it's not good.

"Not really... she was rather plain and boring."

I can't help but stare at this... I mean the way he says it you'd think he was talking about a girl he hooked up with and that she wasn't a good fuck. Not a girl who's blood he drank before he mangled and tore her apart... "I see... so is there any reason why you're sticking to that particular area?" He just smirks before replying, "Hmm, no not really..."

I don't believe him for a second but I decided it would probably be best to drop it... he's got a plan even if he's not saying anything about it and since he's not it's probably pretty horrific... turning back around to face the tv, I think that maybe I should've gone to get some something to eat instead...

Buttercup's POV (1:30pm; Sat)

"Man I can't believe that they called me into work today..." I mutter as I quickly change from my pjs into a black tank and a pair of dark green sweatpants, I also run a brush through my hair really fast... this really sucks I was planning on sleeping in today.

Besides I never go to work on the day of the night of a full moon, I make sure to have that day off so I can do my best when I do my real job. "Well... it can't be helped." I can't get fired or I'd probably lose my apartment. I sigh to myself before walking over to my pet turtle and feeding him. Then I throw a piece of minty fresh gum into my mouth... I don't have time to brush my teeth so gum will have to work for now.

"I'll be back late tonight, so watch the place while I'm gone, okay Mr. Snappers." I tell my turtke before leaving, I've had him since I was five so that's why he has such a stupid name... though I still like it to a point.

He like me survived when the werewolves attacked my family... guess they don't like turtle meat or maybe they just over looked him like they did me. Anyways, I can't stand dogs for obvious reasons they are to much like wolves... loyal companion, man's best friend my ass. Then there's cats, one of my foster parents had a cat... that's an experience I don't want to relive. And besides the apartment owner doesn't like any pets that doesn't live in a cage.

I quickly get to the bus stop and look down at my watch... okay so I've got about ten minutes until the next one comes guess I would've had time to brush my teeth after all oh well, I might as well sit down.

Blossom's POV (5:37pm; Sat)

"This stinks!"

I toss the remote, I can't stand watching the news anymore... I hate that undead mother fucking monster. I hate this... that thing is still out there and apparently it's going to keep killing like this every night until I find it and destroy it, and that needs to be tonight... I refuse to watch something like that again on the five o' clock news.

"Don't worry sweetie... I'm sure you'll get a hundred percent on your next test."

I just look up from my position on the floor to see my dad smiling at me I give a slight smile back. I really wish that I could debug my house but those damn people from the SOV would notice right away, and as much as I hate working with them... my dad feels that it'll be safer this way.

I pulled a really childish stunt, which was the only way I could get the Professor to agree to use a code at home, at least it keeps them from following every night... they mostly tag along on weekends and that's very annoying especially when I'm not hunting and they follow me anyways.

Personally I would rather go back to working solo... seriously all they do is get in my way when the tag along with me, and my father knows it so why does he still say that they're helpful. Sadly I think their goning to catch on to our code soon though because I haven't talked about hunted vampires in over a month. I guess I'll need to think up another code... though I doubt I'll get the Professor to go along with it so easy this time, I can tell that this vampire's killing spree is really getting to him.

I can also tell that it won't be very long before he wants me to tell them that it's a vampire that's been doing all those killings, not a wild animal and that I've been hunting it or trying too... hopefully I'll get to it before that happens. I shouldn't even have to mention by now that I don't trust them... I mean they are called The Study Of Vampires, meaning they study them not slay them. I really think I know all I need to know about the subject anyways... I've been doing this for like forever so I should.

Still they insist on learning more than I know, what are they going to do with all that knowledge anyways? I have told them some things since they are new to this... but they aren't gonna be happy until they know everything and even then they still might not be satisfied. All the more reason to get rid of this one as soon as possible... if they followed me and I ran into something like the one I'm hunting now I might actually be in trouble, I could end up pushing up daisies this time around if that were to happen.

"I'm going for a walk..." Standing up from the floor I walk over to the door, where I grab my backpack then I walk out of the house, before it gets dark I'll use a public restroom to change and get ready. I do this because I know that they record our conversations but they might also have video cameras too... and there's no way to know because if I looked for them then they'd notice that I was doing so if they did have them.

So I guess it's safe to say that they don't trust us either... or maybe they think we are withholding valuable information from them... well dad didn't but I might have had something slip away from my mind once or twice and maybe it does so ever time that they ask. I walk around the park for awhile making sure I'm not being followed which I'm not so that's good...

I guess it wouldn't hurt to find a restroom to change in, after all I need to be dressed in something better suited for fighting. I walk to the other side of the park where I know that the restrooms are located I have been changing here for a while now. Getting to the restrooms I decide to change without going into the stalls, besides it's the lady's room so if anybody walks in it'll be a girl... plus there's more room to get dressed this way and it's less dirty too.

I set down my backpack taking out my dark red sports bra and some matching underwear, why? Because I can't wear this wire bra if I'm going to fight to the best of my abilities and the underwear because I like to match, besides dark clothes are always better when dealing with something that will most likely end up bloodly and that goes for all clothes, underwear included... blood usually seeps through... and I don't like to throw out my clothes unless it's way too much to wash out.

Then I take out a black turtleneck shirt and a pair of black gym pants with two red stripes going down them... these are the type of pants I usually exercise in and well ever since I got bitten by a vampire I wear things that cover my neck when I fight with them... I don't want to have that happen again. I mean really... it even left a scar there, and so my skin isn't as flawless as it once was.

Though when I go out places like to school or on a date even I normally just put some skin tone make up over it and it covers it fine. Still I can't forget the fact that it's there... because it's a reminder of a certain vampire who I had a crush on... leave it to me to almost fall for a vampire. Though sadly I can't forget about him because of this little reminder... I'm sure if it wasn't there I'd have no problem forgetting but it is so I can forget about forgetting him anytime soon. It's been almost a year since then... last Halloween it was...

After I change I look down at the shoes I'm wearing and I realize I didn't bring another pair, great now I have to fight in my boots... at least these ones don't have to much of a heel, still I always seem to remember everything else for fighting except my shoes. Okay... I still have some time I guess I can get my equipment together before night fall.

Hopefully tonight's the last night that this thing will have the pleasure of existing through.

Bubbles' POV (6:30pm; Sat)

"So aunt Mary how do I look?" I twirl a little bit in front of my auntie, who is about in her mid forties she's the older sister out of my mother and herself and also has blonde hair like I do. She smiles and nods her head in approval.

"It looks nice dear... but you should spin another time just to be sure."

I giggle as I spin around again, I'm really happy tonight because I'm going to go on a date with Matt who I haven't seen to much of recently, plus now I get to wear my new dress that my auntie has handmade just for me. It's a knee length yellow dress that has a light blue cloth sown around the middle of my waist and the dress itself is made out of soft material that twirls easily.

I look at my reflection in the mirror and smile at it, my aunt even made my pigtails a little curly and help me put on a small bit of make up. I hear the door bell ring and I shout 'I'll get it.' even though my aunt was right beside me. I turn around once more and this time I thank my aunt before opening the door and greet my boyfriend. "Matt, hi!" Smiling I invite him inside, "Hey Bubbles, hi Ms. Bailey!" My aunt starts to walk up while holding a book in her hand.

I recognize it as my rule book... which has my do's and don'ts of dating which she probably wants him to read bfore we leave. "Uhh, sorry aunt Mary we gotta go he'll read it next time!" I hurrily push him out the door and go out after him, hurrying him to his car while my aunt protests, "Umm, is it okay to just leave?" I laugh a little and nod, "Ya don't worry about it... it would've taken a few hours to read all of that anyways. Besides she made sure to drill those rules into my brain I'm sure I can tell you anything you need to know."

He just laughs, I think he still finds it funny that my aunt made a rule book for me. I had told him about it earlier this week, "So where are we going?" He smiles and says it's a surprise, "Cool, I love surprises!" I say but I can't help think that I'm forgetting something.

Oh, well can't be to important.

Buttercup's POV (8:00pm; Sat)

"Alright... I think I worked enough tonight can I go now?" I say in a 'I'm in very big hurry' tone but my boss just shakes his head. "Sorry, but I need you to stay until closing time... I'm sorry if that's a problem for you." I glare at him, of course it's problem there's a full moon tonight and I need to be out there hunting for werewolves don't you understand!

"No... no problem, so closing time is nine right?" and once again he shakes his head, "No it's at ten."

I feel like hitting something, mostly my boss... how can I stay in here until ten when I'm needed out there! I'm so tempted just to quit... but then I wouldn't have an income, damn... well they had better watch out tonight because I am so in the mood to hurt something and tonight I'm gonna go all out on those mongrels.

I sigh, but first... I need to go price some things...

Bubbles' POV (9:30pm; Sat)

"N-nice doggie... g-good doggie, believe m-me I don't t-taste good... stay."

I can't believe this! First I'm with my boyfriend Matt lost in the woods then Matt starts talking about how much he likes me and how much he wants us to be together forever, creepy much? I mean I'm lost in the woods with someone I've known all of three months and he's talking like that and then to top it all off he changes into a dog a very very big dog.

A type of wolf like dog wait... don't tell me he's a werewolf!

This is my first time ever seeing one... I mean I've just found out about this stuff being real and I was still a bit iffy on the whole werewolf and vampire thing. Is anything just a fairytale? Is all of it real?

At least he's just been circling for the past half hour or better, I wanna run but then I know he'll attack if I do. I know I said that I like surprises but I can certainly say that I don't like this surprise, not at all!

Still something about this doesn't make scenes if he's a werewolf then wouldn't he date me on other nights when the moon is'nt full... unless he doesn't know, or unless he wants to eat me, wait... eailer he said that he 'liked me' 'wanted to be with me... forever' does that mean what I think it does? I hope I'm wrong about this... please tell me he doesn't want to turn me into a... a werewolf! I... I'm-

"I'm totally not okay with that and besides I'm a cat person!" I say before I even realise that I voiced my thoughts, okay so not helping he's stop his circling and now he's headed for me.

What do I do? Wait, my gun... I could aim for his leg of something, that way I'll be sure that he's not dead and I can get away. I slowly move my hand to my leg and I freeze... it's not there! Why is it not there? Oh no... no no No! How could I have rushed out without my gun? I need to stall him or something...

"Stay away... I don't want to be a werewolf!" He doesn't seem to be listening, okay how about this, "I don't think this is working out, maybe we should just be friends..." Okay maybe he can't understand me, I'll give it one last try. "I don't want to be with you!"

He lets out an earth shaking growl and picks up speed, I think I just made him mad... that can't be good... what now?

I only have my backpack purse with me... but what does that possibly have... a comb... some extra bullets... a can of pepper spray. Pepper spray... I can spray his face and he won't be able to see or smell, but how do I get it out of my backpack while he's coming at me like that? He's stopped and is glaring at me it's like he's planning on attacking me the next time I decide to move... what do I do?

If I'm bitten I'll become a werewolf... if I piss him off anymore he's liable to just kill me, I don't like either of those options. Why did I only glance at the section on werewolves, why didn't I think it was more important? Oh maybe because I was a sceptic, damn... from now on I believe in everything unless it's otherwise proven to be false.

I've got to run and try to get the backpack off of my back at the same time while getting the pepper spray. But I can't out run a werewolf, this could be suicide... but I have to try. Alright here goes nothing! I turn and run as fast as my legs can go and suddenly I don't like this dress so much anymore, it's snagging on the branches and this is a lot harder than I originally thought it would be.

As I run I can hear him behind me but I can't slow down and I hope I don't trip, and all the while running I'm trying to get my backpack off my back and in front of me. I'm already breathing hard from running, I know now that I should have been more active. But I've never had to out run anything before now...

"..G-got it..." I breath out as I pull it in front of me to unzip it which isn't easy to do while running, "C-come on... come on!" I finally get it open but now I have to reach in and find it and in the dark.

But before I can even lift a hand to look in it I trip on a above the ground tree root and fall down scraping both my hands and knees a little bit, "Oww..." I'm probably bleeding now... oh no, that's not good! Werewolves and fresh blood do not mix, even I know that.

The next few seconds flew by so fast but at the same time it felt like years had gone by, I quickly turned to see the werewolf jump at me and for once I'm too scared to even close my eyes... they just widden and then I fall to the ground with this thing on top of me. I can't help but let a few tears fall from my eyes, am I going to die by being eaten alive? Or will he just bite me? I feel a sharp pain and close my eyes letting a few more tears out and then all of a sudden the weight that was on me was lifted off and I could hear something awful.

I open my eyes and turn my head to see not one werewolf but two of them... now I'm even more afraid, though they are currently fighting each other... I don't think I can move I'm too afraid to... and something hurts badly, it's my shoulder I think. I was never really afraid before but now I'm so scared of them that I can't even move... or maybe it isn't fear that's holding me down maybe it's because I'm hurt... yes I do hurt but I can barely feel it now, it's more numb and wet than anything. That can't be too good...

I just continue to lay there while my eyes get heavy and as everything begins to fade out I smell blood it's so strong, there's probably lots of it... I don't think it's all mine either, I think it's Matts' too... because from what I see that other werewolf is beating him and he's bleeding a lot... but the moonlight isn't enough light to see how bad it really is.

I really don't want to be wolf food... but maybe it's better if I am, I don't want to become one of them...

Blossom's POV (3:45am; Sun)

It doesn't look like I'm going to find it and it's nearly four in the morning already... I sigh well I took down two other vamps tonight but they went down to easy so I know it wasn't them. Man... I should have had dinner before coming out, I'm really hungry. I guess I should head back home and grab a bite- "Ahhh!"

That's a great place to stop my train of thought, running over to where I heard the scream come from... it was a female's voice probably late teens. Right as I was about to turn the corner I stop short and look down to see if I just step in what I think I did... blood, why can't I ever step in things that normal people do like dog crap or something. It always has to be blood with me doesn't it? I slowly come around the corner and I'm horrified by what I see... a teenage girl or at least she used to be, I walk closer to get a better look and see that her left arm looks like it was twisted right off.

Her back looks odd aslo... it has probably been broken.

Bending down to the body and notice some of the bones sticking out of her back... oh my... I really hate this part of my job I feel like vomiting right now just from the sight and the smell is not that pleasant either. I reach over to turn her head and it's just like I thought, "...A bite mark.." This is disgusting... and to think I just missed this monster by a few seconds too, "..I have to find this thing before this happens again..."

"So I'm a thing, am I?"

My head jerks up as I look back behind me, to see the monster that did this... I can't see him very well becasue he's in the shadows... I know now it's a he, but to me the sex of a vampire doesn't matter their not really people, at least not anymore. Standing up I turn to face him, I can't believe that he snuck up on me like this... I didn't sense him or hear him at all. I have to be extra careful with this one, I can't afford any mistakes.

"...Yes, you are."

"...What's your name?"

I'm more than a little surprised by the question... after all vampires that do this to their victims don't seem like the type to make idle conversation. "That doesn't matter.. I came here to destroy you not exchange pleasantries!" I have learned from previous experience not to give any information to a vampire it can backfire badly.

"My name's Brick."

Did he not heard me? Or is he deliberately ignoring me?

"Your name won't matter much once I've destroyed you." I take out a stake and run at him I usually wait for them to make the first move, but I hate mind games and he just might being trying to play one with me. He disappears when I just as I get right in front of him. "Wha-" He's fast, I turn around and he's behind me... he's very fast!

"How about we play a little game..."

"I'm not in the mood for ga-"

What... how did he do that... I look down at my hand to see my stake is no longer there... I look back at him and it's in his hand but how... there's no way, he can't be that fast it's impossible... it must be some type of trick, it has to be.

"Are you in the mood yet?"

I frown... I'm not so sure I can beat this one... but there's no way I'm playing his game, that's for sure!

--

So did you enjoy the chapter, do you like the changes? Okay first off I'd like to say that while Buttercup isn't a dog or cat person I love animals and I am in no way insulting them through her, I do have three dogs after all.

Okay so I know Blossom and Brick and Bubbles and Boomer met the same way but things will be very different from the way it was before for these two couples in the next chapter.

Please review and tell me what you think, or you can just review and tell me to update... I love long reviews but any size is good, one word is good. So a quick 'Update soon' or something like that won't take to much of your time so please leave a review I would really appreciate it.

Oh and if the person who left the review of the one word 'creepy' if you are reading this then is that a good kinda creepy or a bad one?

I have a Halloween Special Chapter planned only I'm going to be at a convention on Halloween so would you like the Halloween Special Chapter before or after Halloween?
