"Children...I'm home."
"Oh no."
"Children? Where are you? Why do you not call out to me?"
"Fred, what do we do?"
"If you're asleep then it is fine. I won't wake you. Just need to turn these living room lights on and then….."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
*Click*
"Uh….what….uh…what are you all doing standing in front of Abby's door? Is she having trouble falling asleep? If so, then let me in there too….talk to her?"
"Laura, you may go in, but I advise against it. The girl you once knew is not in there."
"Then who is? Did she leave?"
"I don't know."
*BAM*
"SHE'S BROKEN A HOLE."
"Okay!! Everybody, stand behind me. When she comes out, I'll shoot."
"Fred, what are you doing? She means us no harm."
"Yea? Say that to the dogs!!!!"
"Just let me talk to her."
"Mom, you have no idea what it was like when you were gone.
She turned the dead…..to life!!!"
"Oh, is that so? Wondered where all the mountings my husband had hanging in the living room went to."
"Did you not see them out front?"
"It was dark, so how could I? Might've tripped over them but thought they were just the dogs. Now let me in."
"Not by the hair of my chiny-chin-chin."
"Then I'll pull your hair until you do."
"Grandma, here. Take this."
"That's my herbal tea I use on patients. Why do you have this?"
"It….calms her down."
"How do you know?"
"She was nervous before she drank, but then afterwards...we had a teaparty!!!!"
"Okay, stand back.
You all should feel ashamed for yourselves. All she did was love us, but the moment she turned protective, you have done nothing but help fuel the fire. Did you all not think that she would have something to protect herself with? Why did you not believe Violet when she told you?"
*Eaaaaaarrrkkkkkkkkk*
"Laura
Be careful."
"Errrrrrrrrr!!! Errr!! Errrrrr!!!!!"
"Abby, it's me, Laura, the woman you helped heal. Remember? You opened my eyes so that I may see, but now I see that you may need to open my family's eyes as well. They have grown blind and afraid. Although they have spent the most time with you, that just means the more they can say you have been disguising, but I don't believe you're disguising."
"Laura, she won't listen to you. All she sees is meat. See her saliva that is dripping from her mouth? That is all she craves."
"Oh, you're hungry, aren't you? Shame on the family that didn't feed you. They can feed their dogs, but not their neighbors? Do not worry, I have brought some meat for you. One of my patient's sisters came in and gave me a trinket of goodies as a thank you for all I have done for her son. Now let me share that blessing off with you. For after all, you gave me the endless cookies, with which me and her first bonded over. Here, try a slice.
Now, I personally prefer my meat cooked, but there are some meats that can be consumed raw, and they won't….."
"Grrrr...wolf!!! Wolf!!! Grrrrr.....wolf!! Wolf!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!
"Okay!! You're not in a touching mood. I should've known better not to come within the privacy of an animal while they are eating."
"Pst!!! Grandma."
"What?"
"Sprinkle some of the tea on one of the meats and then hand it to her."
"Not yet, She can calm others down. She should be able to calm herself down. Just let me walk closer.
Here, girl. Here, girl. That's it. Look at this meat and nothing else. That's it. Now, can you take it out of my….."
"Roafffff!!!!!!"
"Ooo…Ouch!! You almost bit my hand off. That is unqueen-like. Shame on you."
"Awooo!! Awooo!! Awoooo!!!"
"That's it. I'm shooting. She got way too close."
"Fred, wait….nooooooo!!!!!!"
*BANG*
"Abby!!
Abby!!
Wake up. Please.
Abby!!!"
"Hauurrr!! Hauur!!! Haurrrrrrrr...hauuuuur!!!!"
"Fred, she was just hungry, that's all. There was no need to shoot her."
"Laura, she would've killed us.'
"BUT SHE DIDN'T!!!!!"
"You already told me that while you all slept, to satisfy her hunger, she went around and ate the dogs. Who was there to stop her from eating any of you? Why did she spare your life? Why?"
"I did what I had to do? Look, it's done now, so we can go back to bed."
"Her body is cold. Here, prop your head on my legs, Abby."
"Laura, she's...."
"Wait…wait!! Her body…the blood. It's drying up. Her body is heating back up!!!!
Abby!!!!
Abby!!!!
Can you hear me?
Abby?"
"She's transforming back into a girl!!!!! Look."
"Ach, ach!!!
Laura?"
"Abby. Oh, how I am glad to see you. I thought you were dead?"
"My wolf was, but then…..what the? Get that tea bottle away from me."
"What...oh…this?"
"Yes, get that away from me."
"Okay.
Serenity!! Here, take this bottle and hide it. It must be weakening her."
"No. It's not weakening me, but the wolf. That tea is helping my powers grow and not making me sick from it, but in return…it is taking the life of the wolf.
Yes, my wolf was hungry, but it was more scared than anything. It wanted to run as far away from you guys as possible."
"How? Why? This tea cures the sick from evil and leaves the body stronger than before."
"Exactly. I am not evil, nor is my magic evil. My magic…no…all our magic is from the Lord. It's the wolf that is evil. Nightmaster was already dark when he first stumbled upon the wolf. To protect all his offspring and beyond, he transformed them into wolves. That is what the tea is trying to do. It is curing evil and strengthening my magic, but as long as the wolf remains…I will keep getting sick."
"Then why not just drink the tea? You are already strong but will now have the strength to stand up to anything. Do not be afraid, my child."
"Laura, I am afraid. You have seen my innocent and pure heart. Why do you think my brother told you to protect me from others abusing me? Without evil, I cannot defend myself. I may be your savior, but who will save me?"
"Waaaaaaaaooooooo!!!! Waaaaiiiiiii….oooooooooooo!!!!"
"Oh no."
"Abby, what is it? What can you hear?"
"I have to go."
"Wait!! Will we see you again?"
"That is if my brother doesn't see you first."
"Huh?"
"See you."
"Go, go, go."
"Sir, here is the layout of the house. The witch has to be somewhere in…..umm, sir."
"Yes?"
"Are you certain this is the house the reporters saw yesterday?"
"You are questioning my foresight?"
"No sir. It's just that there is no way a witch could live in such a beautiful house as this. The photo you showed me was a beat down wreck. Not this."
"Do not be fooled, Rookie. Looks can be deceiving. What can be pretty and beautiful on the outside can hold a venomous and dark secret inside.
IS EVERYONE IN POSITION?"
"Locked and loaded sir."
Good. Now….we just...wait?
The front door is opening. Maybe instead of following the witch, she might be walking to us!!!!!
Be on the ready? We don't know what kind of heat this healer can punch so let's prepare for everything."
"Abby, wait. Before you open the door, I want you to know something.
We are sorry for assuming you were…..a..."
"Beast?"
"Yes. We didn't know that you were just hungry. It was us that poisoned you, and although we cannot change the past, we can influence the future. I just want you to know that while you have our back….we will have yours."
".....It's ok.
Thanks anyways. I'll see you in due....."
HANDS UP!!!!!!!!
CLOSE THE DOOR AND STEP AWAY FROM THE WITCH."
"She's not a witch. SHE'S MY FRIEND."
"I SAID….STEP AWAY. LOCK THE DOOR AND STAY INSIDE."
"It's okay girls. I can protect myself."
"We know you can but that tea has not worn off. It stays in the system for a good few hours until it breaks down every trace of bad left. My take. You have one hour left before it wears off."
"Then it is good that you lock the door. I can smell the tea faramones on all your clothes already."
*Eaaaaarrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk.*
*Click.*
"OKAY.
THEY'RE SAFE.
YOU WANT ME. YOU GOT ME!!!!!!"
"FIRE!!!!!!!!!!"
*Pewwww….Ba…ba…pewwww*
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!"
"Sir, we got her. The witch…is down."
"Good job men. Bag the girl and take her to base."
"Wait….what the? She's not dead, but rising."
"What? Let me see."
"COME ON MEN. YOU SHOULDA LEFT YOUR TOYS AT HOME.
ALTHOUGH MEN ARE KNOWN AS DOMINNATE AT NIGHT...…SO ARE WOMAN.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Boom. Raaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!!!!"
"Where are those noises coming from? Where are they?"
"GNOMES OF THE GARDEN…..PROTECT YOUR HOME."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!! It's on me. It's on me."
"They're alive. They're all alive!!!"
"No…No….noooooooo!!!!!"
"Roaaaaarrrrrrrrr. *slash*
"Even the animals are at her control."
"Teddy, look out. He's behind you. He's behind…."
*BANG*
"Aroooooooooo…..*boom*
"Got ya.
SIRE, THESE ANIMALS WHILE ALIVE…ARE JUST ANIMALS. THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS POWERFUL AS SHE."
"Rooo…rooo….RAARRRRRRRRR"
"SHE'S A WOLF."
"Oh no. The poison must be taking effect and the wolf is trying to run from it.
Serenity, go get me the bottle that's beside the one I had you place."
"Yes, Grandma."
"I hope it's not too late."
"Roaaarrrrrrr!!!!! Arckhhhh!!!!!
Raaaawlllll!!!!!!
"Fire!!!! Fire at will!!!"
"Bewp….bew….poooo!!!!"
"Raaawllll!! Raaaw.. Raaaghhh!!!"
"We got her. GET THE NET!! TIE HER FEET TOGETHER."
"Eeeeeeeerrrrr!!!!
We're here. Wait….what the? What's happening?
Avella, wake up. Wake up!!"
"Huu? Just let me sleep."
"Avella, wake up. Abby is in trouble and needs our help. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone. My gut told me, but I didn't listen. I thought they had changed."
"What? I'm awake. Where?"
"Shh. We can't wake Violet. Come on."
"Look!! You were right. They did find her."
"Well now, let's make sure that they….un….find her."
"Get her in the keep and seal her tight. She must not see the light of the moon or else her strength will come back. Go…go...."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Aaaaaaghhhhh!!!!!!"
"What was that? Who's there? Stay on the guard men."
"I don't see anyone. They are too fast for….aaaghhhhh!!!!"
"Jarod!!!!"
"Where are these beasts? They cannot be the speed of light. They are just animals."
"I don't think these are animals. They leave no tracks when they…..aaaaaaghhhh!!!!"
"Come out. I'm not scared of you. Show your face."
*SWOOOOSH*
*BA-PEW!!!!*
"Stay still."
*SWOOSH*
*BA-PEW*
"Stand...stilll!!!!!"
"Roaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
"Aaaaaghhhhhhh!!!!!"
*Ba-Pew!!!"
"Arooo…aruu….aruu…"
"That's one wolf down. Come on. I know the next one is out there. Show your teeth. Let me see them purrlies."
*SWOOSH*
*Ba-Pew*
"Piss, I have to reload."
"ROARRRRRRRRR!!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh...."
"ARRRCKHHHH"
"Kids, stay back."
"What was that? That wolf looks like none of the others. He looks...full!!!"
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"Wait, look. He's grabbing the other wolf by the neck and dragging her back to the woods with him. What are they doing?"
"Max…stay in here. It's not safe out here. Who knows what else is hiding."
"Serenity, that goes for you. Where are you going?"
"Abby is still trapped in there. I have to free her."
"Serene, get back here this instance. Don't make me go out there and bring you in by your pigtails.
Max, where are you going? Not you too."
"I have to help them. Serenity can't do it all on her own."
"Hauur…hauur….hauuuur"
"We're coming, Abby. We're here. We're here."
"Ugggh. This lock is too tight. I can't get it open. It's just soo…Max?"
"And here I thought girls were smarter than boys. Guess boys are the smartest. Here's the keys,"
"You got the tea ready?"
"Ready?"
"Pour it on her once I get these doors open. Three...two....one. POUR, POUR, POUR!!!!"
