Chapter 2 - Trapped

After the incident with the werewolf outside the gate, the men of the town placed me in my own house. Murphy argued with the Pastor quietly. "YOU Cannot make her stay here! I DO not care if she is the answer to our problem. She needs to be free. She is still one of them. Why do--." He says but was interrupted. "Yes yes Murphy , I know what she is. That is precisely why I want to keep her here. You saw that beast as well as I did obey her and walk away. She can free all of us so until further notice, she is confined here in the fort. She isn't allowed to leave. Ever." He chuckles and says. What an ungodful man. I growl and punch my door. I sigh and slide down it and tear up. "Why me? Why not Ginger. " I whimper and wipe my tears as my Friend knocked on my door. "I am guessing you heard that huh dearie?" "Yes I did. He cannot keep me here forever. I will find a way out of this shit." I say and growl softly. I continue. "Murphy, in 3 days time, one of the werewolves will get in . I will take my revenge, I want you out of here. Please. Do not warn anyone, just get some clothes, your belongings and a carriage and go. There is another town North of here that the wolves will not touch. This village is done for." I look at him , serious as the plague. He nods and hugs me. I hug back and kiss his cheek. "You are like a grandfather to me. Be careful. That werewolf I spoke to saw you, he won't hurt you. In fact, I will escort you there. We leave when everyone is asleep. I will travel back on my own. Deal?" I say as I extend my hand. He shook it. Perfect.

That night, as I Gazed out the window, all the lanterns slowly went out. When the final one went out, I snuck to Murphy's. I knocked on his door and whisper "Murphy, it's me. You ready?" He opens the door and lets me in. "Help me load these on the carriage will you?" I nod and help him. When we finish and get to the gate, I hide and the guard lets us out. When we get a fair distance away, I sit up front with him and drive us to Fort Aquina. He will be safe here, I hope. When we approach the gates, they open them. I hide once more and smile softly. I had a few...friends of mine living here. I saw the red hair and smile. I tell Murphy to go to the last house on the side. The girls ran there, happy. They knew if Murphy was here, so was I. When we park the carriage, I hop out and hug them. "Hello sisters. " I say and cry softly. They cry as well. I tell them of my plan as we help him unload. They nod and agree about the village. They asked to come with, and I said Ginger could, I wanted Brigitte to stay with Murph. She agreed. a few days passed, the day of the full moon was next and I told Murphy I would come back with Ginger after everything was done. That night she and I left and made it fast. All around us we heard growls, snarls and howls. They weren't threatening us, more like guiding us. We follow them and sneak inside the fort with ease. Little did we know, one followed us in. As we reached my house and snuck in, we were greeted with a knock. I hide Ginger and make my hair look messy and unkempt. I had my night gown on and I walked to my door and opened it. it was the Pastor. "Good morning Pastor . What do I owe the pleasure?' I ask and yawn. He smirks and replies"It's a full moon tonight young lady. The beasts will be at the gate and we will ki--" He is interrupted by screams. I gasp and step outside. I saw the monster drag a council man out and kill him. It leapt onto another and I smirk "No sir, you are mistaken. I am taking my revenge. Starting with you!' I say and knock him out, dragging him inside and tying him up. The day went by fast and they captured the beat. Held the damn thing in a horse stall. I sneak out and awaken it. "Wake up sleepy head, it's time." The wolf-like beast gets up and growls. I let him out, people were in the middle of town. I chuckle and he kills two. As I make my way to my house, I see Ginger with Fangs and killing one of the guards. Perfect. As the moon reached its high peak, I enter my house, eyes gold. I wake the pastor and smile. "Ready?"All amongst the house his screams echoed as I tore at his flesh, blood spilling everywhere. As I poured gasoline on him and around my house, I grab a box of matches and light one, setting my house ablaze.
