My phone buzzed in my pocket and it took me quite a while before I realised it was not my vibrator that was buzzing in my back pocket of my jeans. It was a nice sensation of something vibrating near your butt hole when I realised it was my phone.
I quickly answered it without checking the number and found that it was Mulder who was on the other line. He said he had just touched down with Scully and now getting their baggage checked out and waiting for the Feds to send them an unmarked car.
"Do you know how to get here? By the way, it doesn't matter if you're in Knoxville or in Atlanta, the journey there would take 2 and a half hours to ride to Oak Grove Cabin. You'd see a black Rebel motorbike park at the front porch overlooking the lake."
"I'm the only person living around here and so keep your eyes peeled. And yeah, I got a whole load of laundry on the clothesline too. You can't miss it."
"Alright, see you before or by 6 in the morning. Do you have coffee in your place? Our coffee sucks and you know, it's decaf and I can't take decaf unlike Scully here. She gulps down anything as a goldfish would. Hahahaha."
The phone went silent again and I thought it was part of my dream. I looked at the time and it showed 0345 am. Unless Mulder drives like a madman or he puts on his Feds lights on and he would beat every traffic light on the street. Otherwise, he would get stuck in the early morning traffic.
"Beast, would you like to go for a short romp in the forest or Spotty goes first? It's going to be daylight soon." as soon as Beast and Spotty heard, they 'Lon-cham-pass" or in other words, 'Paper, Rock, Scissors' of who would shapeshift first. In the end, Beast had the go first...
I stripped and kept the door slightly open at the back and I was soon covered with tawny fur, my neck became elongated and my face too grew whiskers and changed with a longer protruding jaw.
My arms and legs twisted and cracked and both became elongated as it turned my fingers into claws and paws. I had turned into Beast and I was now in the back of my own mind and was hugging Spotty who was a bit sore for not being able to shapeshift beforehand.
"Spotty... Do you like fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, cod, sardines, tuna and shark maybe... You're a big cat you know... You don't seem to like fish as much as Beast. I would like to change my diet one day. How about it?"
I tickled Spotty as I lay my head in her haunches and let her tail swished over my face, as I took it and place it under my nose like a moustache... Hahahahaha.
"Discuss with Beast okay? Sometimes I just need to balance my diet and both of yours too. It won't kill you by eating vegetables or greens. Don't listen to Beast much because she would like to poke fun at you as much as I like to fun at you too because of your 1999 spots. Hahahaha."
Spotty rose up upon hearing that she has 1 missing spot again and I suddenly shrieked out loud, "2000...!! It is in your nose, Spotty...Hihihihihi..." I giggled as I poked at its wet snout and was pawed gently by her.
Meanwhile, Beast had crossed the road safely and entered the woods, snuffing around and saw some very tiny game of squirrels and brown hares and some gophers too. It felt good romping in the forest just behind the house. The ground was wet with dew and it licked at the leaves to let some dew inside her mouth.
Beast then jumped up on a tree branch and watched the ripple of water on the surface of the lake and soon dozed off. Haiyoo... This girl can even take the time to doze off since it knew there wasn't any human around a 2-3 km radius. Haisshh...I called out to Beast and managed to knock on her before she awoke and gave a big yawn.
Beast was about to cross the road when she spotted a game warden carrying a big sign. The warden stood in the middle of the road and blew a whistle and stopped imaginary traffic and motioned for Beast to cross the road safely. Beast looked at the woman curiously and walked over the back door of the cottage and soon shapeshifted into a cheetah soon afterwards.
Now it was Spotty turn to cross the road and the game warden waked again to the centre of the road and blew her whistle and stopped imaginary traffic as she let Spotty cross over to the forest. Weird, that's what Beast had said earlier and there the game warden was around to let these big cats cross the road.
Hahahahaha...!!!
I talked to Beast as what I had discussed about eating fish for a change and she said she preferred meat over fish. Haisshh... I told her meat would be scarce as it would be tainted with Weres blood and she shrunk back at the thought of her favourite food that would be soon gone from the face of the earth.
"Kill Weres. Stop them from harming meat." I laughed inwardly and said I would take fish alternately with meat and vegetables in the middle.
"Beast will die if eat vegetables. Beast is not a Billy goat." I laughed at her for being silly because cats won't die after eating vegetables.
"How about I eat mock meat instead? It's more nutritious you know. Makes you full."
I said, knowing that both Beast and Spotty doesn't know what mock meat is. I wonder if they made it look like steak because I only knew mock duck, chicken and pork.
"Alright, alright... No more joking around." I said as I lay my head near Beast head and poked my hand at its snout. "Ponyok... Ponyok... Ponyok..." I made these nonsensical words as I poked at her snout and she swished her tail and tried to bite my hand every time I reached for its snout.
About 30 mins later I could sense Spotty inside the living room and it was time for me to shift back to human form.
Soon it was close to 630 am when my phone buzzed again and Mulder was on the other line and telling me that they would be reaching soon. I changed and waited for them at the roadside in case they missed the cottage. I saw a black unmarked sedan and flagged my hand as if it was a Lincoln cab.
A man and a woman exited wearing black suits and I was wondering if they ever changed from being a suit and tie fellows into a tee-shirt and shorts with tennis shoes or something. They formally introduced themselves and took out their name cards and I take a look at them before putting in my rear jeans pocket.
"Come inside while I put the kettle in a boil. Some toasts for you with spreads of your choice? Come in, make yourself comfortable."
I invited them in and they sat in the dining area as I served them an assortment of coffee, a few packets of creamer and some lumps of sugar. I let them choose between Maxwell, Nescafe and Douwe. Between breakfast of toast and again, choices of the spread... I let them have a look at HaiLoong, a high profile DEASTF staff and also sort of involvement with an unknown long blind tanned woman.
"I knew her, her name was... I can't remember but it rhymes with Kenya and her husband too. She appeared on the telly and is here in Atlanta, making huge publicity of opening an open wildlife safari."
"Enya... Her name is Enya and husband is Mbuntu or something. Yeah, they both are here to open such open-air wildlife safari. But won't it be like Predators freely catching their Prey or something? It won't be in an enclosure like a zoo, right?" Scully corrected Mulder for being muddle head some times. Maybe that's why his name is Mulder the Muddle Head.
"At least you knew where this guy disappeared to. Up till now, I don't even have a clue of where my sister went to. Abducted by aliens or ran off with her boyfriend."
"Oh yeah... Reports came in saying that a woman wearing full leather and brandishing at least 2 weapons went on a rampage in Red Doors. But weird, they found two dead bodies with one jugular torn open with wild animal bites around it while the other had its heart torn off his body."
"These bodies had been dead for more than 5 hours based on their liver temperature. I don't think it's the lady in leather." Scully was contemplating and placed her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands.
"FYI, this is a Weres and Vamp county. There are no good Weres one thing for sure but there's good camps, neural ones and those up to no good ones."
"Tell me about it..." said Mulder with an interesting look as he inched forward and reached for Maxwell House granular coffee and made himself a cup.
