VI

Shaggy cowered in the back of the RV with his back resting against the back bed area wall trying to keep as far away from the windows as he could being curled up in the corner by the right side of the bed on the floor furthest away from the back window located above the middle of the back wall the head of the bed rested against.

Trying to get out of the greater Los Angeles area had been a nightmare with constant delays and traffic jams consuming most of the precious daytime he thought he would be out in a far enough remote area in Arizona where he could hide the RV in a canyon area somewhere to spend the night.

Instead, he found himself parking the red RV at the end of a remote mountain road in a looped cul-de-sac in the hills above Palm Springs where he was sure nobody would discover him parked there.

His ultimate hope was they would assume if they did see his blacked out RV that he was a camper who had gone ATV camping with his friends down one of the many trailheads he had passed on his way to the end of the mountain road cul-de-sac he had parked the RV at an angle where the nose of it faced the way he had driven in just in case he had to escape nosy hikers snooping around where he was parked.

He could hear his teeth chattering in the chilled stillness of the quietness of the RV he had shutoff a couple of hours ago as he had let the natural night lights seep through the windows as his only source of light.

The chill of the outside night coming inside made his bones shiver and his blood run cold as he fetched a thick blanket out of a side cabinet by where he lay in the right corner with his feet being covered by the bed skirt and his head resting on a couple of pillows he had taken off the bed.

He curled up into the fetal position with the blanket draped up to his chin ready to endure the first of many cold nights alone without the gang and without his prized Scooby as he stared at the box he and his canine companion had made famous before throwing it to the front of the RV so he wouldn't have to endure the pain associated with it as he looked at his bloodstained fingernails reminding him of why he found himself in this position to begin with.

Shaggy could feel his stomach churning in knots at the vivid image of him awaking from a blacked out state with torn clothes in the middle of the hallway near his apartment surrounded by the massacre only he in full werewolf form could have committed as he wondered whose blood might be mixed in with his own beneath each nail.

It sickened him even more to know he was carrying the blood stain of another human being beneath his nails as he felt his stomach knotting up to a point where he was forced into going to double clutch it to ride out the pain until alarm crossed his face when he saw his fingers starting to grow hair on them and his fingernails starting to yellow and become more sharp.

Something was wrong and Shaggy realized he could not control his transformation anymore meaning it was happening without the aide of the moonlight which meant whoever had cast the werewolf curse on him had made sure it was guaranteed to strike him each night regardless if the moon was present or not as he threw the blanket off and staggered to his feet to try to escape the confined space of the RV before it was too late.

The unbearable pain of his bones cracking and the blinding effects from the dizzying first stages of the transformation were too much for him to bare at standing position meaning escape out of the RV was impossible as he felt his balance give way after only a few steps as he saw the floor of the RV closing in a rapid pace connecting with his face as intense pain shot through his nose and jawbone stunning him briefly.

He felt the full effects of the transformation racking his body at a slow painful pace as he heard his jeans and red shirt tearing away from his body as they could not support his rapidly growing muscular canine skeletal structure which was contorting ninety degrees as bones painfully snapped and expanded throughout his entire body.

"OH FUCKRROWLL" Shaggy screamed out in pain as his human voice went from that of a man to the sound of an enraged wolf as his face contorted into wolf like features starting with his ears, nose, and jaws which were expanding out as his teeth turned to fangs and other canine sharp teeth while his nose and jaw cracked forward to assemble into a canine snout.

His legs, hips and private area were contorting and expanding to fit his growing height by turning more canine with his human genitals being turned into a big pinkish color shaft with his crotch furring out to more wolf like pubic hair while his hips widened and contorted ninety degrees to support a more anthromorphic bipedal stance as a bushy tail grew out of his tailbone.

His feet grew a set of claws as they expanded out to accommodate his transforming brown werewolf form as his eyes went from brown to glowing red and his brown hair blended into his werewolf scalp as the transformation was almost complete.

He rose to his feet tearing apart the inside of the RV as if he were trying to break out of a prison as his claws were slicing into the top of it like a giant can opener as the full glare of the moon showered his wolfen body as the top dome of the RV was thrown like a toy ending up crashing down on the dusty ground with the rest of the broken glass.

The fury of the werewolf was unleashed in the form of a spine chilling howl which shattered the stillness of the peaceful night as he was guided by the light of the moon which enthralled his need to hunt as he ran down one of the trails disappearing into the hills searching for his prey using his senses to guide him.
