Chapter 2: Transformed by moonlight

10 years ago in west Kinia

Two kids were playing in a huge creek.

One of the kids, a girl with red hair almost trips and falls into a ditch however.

"I've got you!" The boy with blonde hair held her hand and pull her up.

"Thanks" the red haired girl said smiling.

"Don't mention it, that's what friends are for" the blonde boy smiled and replied.

"Nu uh, not just friends! Best friends!" The red haired girl countered pouting.

"Yeah best friend forever" the Blonde boy accepts and the two hugged... everything turns white all of a sudden.

--------------------*----*-----

"Haaaaaah!" Jason wakes up covered in sweat "I'm In my room?" The boy wondered how he had gotten here, since his last memories were of something horrific.

At that moment the door opens up and Beth enters

"Had quite an adventure yesterday didn't you?" his mother said to him in a worried tone.

"What... Happened to me?" Jason asked touching his shoulder that had a bandage on it.

"You had a fall in the woods, but lucky enough, an old face came and save you" she moved aside as a girl with red hair walked into his room.

"Clara?! In my room?!" Jason's face turned red.

".... I'll just leave the two of you alone for now" Beth sensing the tension decided it best to leave the room for two maturing kids... Weird.

As soon as beth was out of listening distance Clara spoke out "What were you doing there?! Do you know how much danger you put yourself in?!".

"Says the one fighting monsters! Why were you fighting a talking dog!" Jason said remembering immediately what had transpired.

"That's none of your business... Well it wasn't your business until you put yourself into it!" Clara yelled again.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Jason said confused.

"I'm a werewolf hunter AKA a Shepherd, and you just got bit by an Alpha werewolf, I believe you can put the rest together" Clara explained her expression of annoyance not leaving her face.

"A werewolf... That's what bit me?... No way... No way!" Jason was freaking out.

"Seriously, I wish you never came to this town, first day and you've been cursed! You haven't changed a bit since we were kids" Clara said in a sad tone.

"Clara... I know I messed up, but you've gotta help me, I don't want to turn into that!" Jason was still panicking.

"Just stay out of the moonlight, I'll come over in evening and take you somewhere else,.... however if you turn.... Into a monster.... I'll have no choice" Clara specified what would happen if Jason transformed.

'gulp' (would she really kill me?) Jason was shivering at this point.

"Get some rest, it's almost morning, we've got school tomorrow, don't talk to me, and don't stay out at night" Clara gave orders to the shivering boy.

"You used to be cooler" Jason muttered under his breath.

Clara then said goodbye to Beth and went home.

MORNING

After apologizing to Beth for entering the woods Jason went to school as usual however his mind was in complete dismay

(Werewolves exists, I got bit by one... So I'm a werewolf too... What other magical creatures exist in this messed up world?) Jason thought to himself.

"Mr Snow! Can you or can't you solve this equation?" The Math teacher Mr Henson asked the distracted boy.

"Oh... Yeah sorry" the boy wakes up from his daze and went straight to the board to solve the math problem while his classmates laughed.

After math class a male student approached his desk

"Glad to see another guy that can't stay awake through Henson's lesson" the boy said, he had black hair and freckles, he wore a green t shirt saying Ligma, and brown jeans.

"Yeah..." Jason replied, even though it wasn't the lesson making him drowsy.

The boy extended his right hand "Name's Charles, grew up in Wales, so excuse my welsh accent from time to time" he joked.

"Jason, nice to meet you Charles" the ash blonde boy forced a smile.

"Hope you don't suck at sports... Next period's P.E, and we're up against Class 9-A" Charles said warning thee new kid.

"What game are we playing?" Jason asked...

"Dodgeball!" 'woosh!' "ouuuuuhh!" A redball hits the face of a student in the school's gymnasium.

Coach Steven was hosting a dodgeball game against the boys from Class 9-A and 9-B however...

All the boys from 9-B except Jason were already out, leaving the 6 boys from 9-A standing.

"Looky here, if it ain't the new kid following Clara around" the blonde guy that jacked him yesterday stood smiling.

"Oh no" Jason said knowing he was doomed.

"He's a goner", "Chris is gonna kill him", "I give him 5 seconds" "hah ahah ha"the girls from 9-A laughed at the lone boy.

"I bet he knocks out Chris and his lackeys, wanna put your money where your mouths are ladies?" May came from the bleachers holding a $100 note.

"Your on glasses" the girls then bet on the match.

"Get bent loser!" Chris threw a ball at Jason's face however.

'swoosh!' the new kid dodges the ball with ease much to surprise of everyone there.

"What the....?! Get him!" Chris ordered and the remaining five guys threw their own balls at Jason.

"The balls..." Jason said quietly (are slow). He could see the balls coming at him as if they were in slowmo.

(Is this part of the werewolf stuff?) He wondered as this had never happened to him before.

"Is he a ninja how'd he dodge all that?!", "Get it together already!", "He's just one guy" the girls yelled at the guys who had failed.

'grab', "My turn" Jason smiled as he picked up a red ball "Hyah!" 'Bamm!' one shot one hit, the ball immediately fell one of the 9-A boys in a split second.

"You'll pay for that!" The rest retaliated and grabbed more balls to shoot at Jason however.

"Hah!" Jason dodge them and even grabbed two balls aimed at him, eliminating those who threw them.

"Here you can have these back!" He flings the balls hitting two other boys leaving just Chris remaining.

"You think you're hot stuff huh? Well you aren't!" Chris tosses a ball with his full power but.

'grab' Jason grabs the ball with ease in his right hand "hehe weak" the ash blonde boy smiled as he eliminated Chris and won the game.

"Wooooooooooow!" His classmates immediately cheer for him and carry him on their shoulders.

"Pay up girls!" May yelled like a boss lady as she collected money from the 9-A girls.

As Jason and the others left the gymnasium Chris hissed "I'll make you pay for this newbie.

After school

Clara was watching from afar as Jason was talking to a bunch of his classmates in the school compound.

A dark skinned girl with a small afro asked Jason "A bunch of us are going to have a pizza party by 6 at the Pizza Pit, want to come with?" she smiled.

"Aisha's brother owns the shop so they bring extra pizza with extra cheese" May added.

"Hmmm, 6... That's kinda late" Jason rubbed the back of his head.

"Come on bro, let's celebrate this victory, we never beat 9-A" Charles insisted.

"Hmmm... Okay pizza it is" Jason replied after being won over.

(That idiot) Clara sighed in her mind as she walked away, getting ready for the worst.

Later that day

Pizza pit

By 6pm the kids were in the Pizza pit a huge building which sold you guessed it Pizza, they sat at a window seat laughing.

Aisha, May, Jason, Charles and 3 others were having the time of their lives.

"But seriously where'd you learn those mad skills from?" Charles questioned his friend.

"Yeah those were some sweet ninja moves" a dark skinned boy with a low cut added.

"Well I used to take karate classes by in West Kinia" Jason mentioned.

"Nobody's gonna mess with our class anymore!" Aisha yelled and the so did the others.

After 2 hours the gang went their separate ways home except Jason and May who was escorting the latter.

"Thanks for walking me home, my mom gets really upset if I comeback alone at these hours" May stated.

"Wow, strict moms are everywhere it seems" Jason joked.

"You're really something, second day and you're already part of the gang" May smiled "Keep it up wiseguy" the Chinese girl nudged his shoulder.

"Hehe, thanks" Jason blushed a little bit.

The two stopped at a traditional looking house at the left side of the street.

"Well this is my stop, you better go before my mom gets a better look at you, see yah" May waved goodbye as she entered her house.

"Yeah, bye" Jason smiled and walked away.

Today was great, he made more friends and was getting a little popular, what more could he ask for, he was only a mile away from his house as he felt a burning sensation in his chest.

"Ekk, what's going on" he unbuttoned his shirt to see a load of chest hair growing.

"Wait.... Oh damn..." Jason knew he messed up as he looked at the sky to gauge the time, only to have a full moon gazing back at him.

"Ahhh!" He ran into the forest immediately in hopes of not letting the moonlight touch him but it was too late.

"Grrrraaaaaaaaahhh!" The boy screamed as it felt like his bones were breaking "somebody! Help!" He cried but he could only hear footsteps.

"I warned you, there's no going back now" Clara's voice echoed but Jason was in too much pain to care.

Gray fur covered his entire body and his clothes began to rip "Ehhhhhhaaa!" He screamed some more as he fell on all fours.

His limbs began to take the shape of a dogs and his skull began to stretch.

"Aahhhhhhhh wwwoooooooh!" His voice completely changed as the transformation was completed.

Jason almost fainted from the pain but his resolved held him back, it was strange, his whole body was different, he couldn't stand or speak English, he was a wolf now.

He turned to his Clara in her huntress uniform looking at him pitifully with her katana... "I'll give you a headstart" she said.

(Wait... Is she really going to kill me?!) Jason yelled in his mind as his whole body was taken over by fear.
