Jack wakes up the next morning and feels a lot of different sensations, mostly pain.
Jack groans as he sits up, he looks around him and finds himself in his room.
"Shit I must have passed out," thinks Jack.
He quickly calls Bree's phone to see if she's okay, she didn't answer and neither does Elijah. Jack eventually reassured himself that he must have gotten blackout drunk. Then he decided to take a shower. After showering, he puts on some clean clothes and heads downstairs into the kitchen.
His mom begins to sing him happy birthday as he walked over to the kitchen, greeting him with a cake.
"thanks, ma," says Jack smiling at her.
He takes a seat next to her and watches as she slices the cake. As she cuts into the cake, she begins cutting pieces for Jack to eat, Jack begins to eat the piece of cake he had been given as his mom smiles.
"so I have a surprise for you," said Nola mysteriously.
"what sort of surprise?" asked Jack confused
Nola pulls a small box out of her purse, handing the box to Jack.
"What is it Ma?" questions Jack.
"open it up and find out" answers Nola
Jack hesitates for a second before opening the gift slowly. Inside the box, he finds a car key.
"Oh my god ma, no way!" exclaims Jack "this is really amazing thank you!"
Nola just giggles and replys,
"we'll go outside and have a spin!" said Nola.
"Okay ma, I'll be back later, love you," said Jack as he got his jacket and walked out the door to reveal his new car. His new car is a grey four-seater Jeep with black outlining.
"wow ma," said Jack as he admired the vehicle. Just as Jack was about to get in the car he was stopped by a guy in a leather jacket.
"uh hey, can I help you?" asked jack.
"yeah, your friends have been taken by the Divoc pack. cmon if we hury we can save them.." said the man.
"the what pack? listen mate I don't know what you're talking about.." replies Jack confused.
"you literally turned last night....must have been your first time.." explains the man. "which means you don't remember anything from last night, right?"
Jack started to get glimpses of what happened last night.
"turn? turn into what?" Jack asked suspecting the answer.
"A werewolf! okay we don't have time, I was the wolf that helped you last night! now let's go!" exclaimed the man.
Jack agrees and drives him
and the man back to the bonfire.
"so what's your name?" asked Jack as he drives.
"Ethan...I was at the bonfire.." replies Ethan.
"well I guess I owe ya one Ethan..so where are we heading?" asked Jack.
"they're holding your friends up at the docs, it should be close to the bonfire area." replied Ethan.
Jack nods and continues driving to the docs.
They arrived at the docs, and Jack gets out of the car and helps Ethan out.
"okay so what's the plan?" asked Jack.
Ethan gives Jack a look "just follow me" he then began walking into the warehouse at the docs.
Jack nods and followed Ethan inside the warehouse. Ethan leads Jack to the basement.
As Ethan leads him to the basement, Jack hears voices and a thumping sound coming from up ahead
Once Ethan opens the door to the basement, Jack saw his friends being tied up on chairs.
"Holy shit!" said Jack as he rushes to Elijah and hugs him tightly.
"what's going on? What happened to you guys?" asks Jack as he rushes to untie Bree
"it doesn't matter, we've been captured and we need you to free us," says Elijah looking down at the floor.
"no fucking way, you're a wolf? like them!" exclaimed Bree
"Bree you have to trust me when I say I'm as surprised as you are" explains Jack as he looks at her.
"okay enough chit-chat, we need to leave, now.." said Ethan impatiently.
All of a sudden the door to the basement bursts open and a group of soldiers march in with guns drawn.
"fuck!" said Bree running into Jack's back.
"when I drop them RUN to the car and get out of here," said Ethan. Ethan's eyes glowed bright orange as claws erupted from where his nails once were.
He pounces on the guards Ripping them to pieces and proceeds to fight all the other guards that came in with them.
"let's go," said Jack as he pulled Bree and Elijah outside of the basement.
Jack runs with Bree and Elijah toward the Jeep, as they get in Bree starts to freak out as everything is unfolding.
"go, go, go!!!" shouted Elijah.
Jack drives fast out of the docks.
It was very difficult for Jack to drive safely but after a few minutes, he managed to escape through the blockade of armed men and make it to the freeway. Once on the freeway, Jack finally slows down.
"I think we're safe now," said Jack, "but you two gotta promise me something" he added, looking back at Bree and Elijah. "promise me that you won't tell ANYONE what's happened today, it's between us..okay?"
"I promise," said Elijah immediately.
"me too" agreed Bree.
After saying that, Jack drove both Bree and Elijah home then finally allowed himself to relax and began driving home slowly. When he parked his car outside of his house, he quickly made his way upstairs.
When he entered his bedroom he found Ethan sitting on his bed.
"how did you get in my room?!" said Jack as he shut the door behind him.
"the window..I jumped in" said Ethan as he points to the window.
"you jumped two stories?" asked Jack
"yeah..anyway I'd like to ask you how it was last night..." he said trailing off.
"what do you mean by how it was?" asked Jack confused.
"last night you turned...right? it was your first time, how was it?" asked Ethan still curious.
"I can't remember.....it just kinda happened." said Jack disappointed.
"hm..okay sit," said Ethan as he patted a spot on the bed for him to sit on then adds " just imagine Your body shifting and changing, bones elongating, muscles stretching. Fur sprouts from your skin. Your teeth become fangs, your hands twist into cruel claws. You throw back your head, and howl."
Ethan pauses waiting for Jack to process what he was saying,
After a while, Jack asks
"so can I shift form when I want?"
Ethan thinks to himself for a moment before answering "yes..and no. you can get claws and the teeth and eyes, only on a full moon can you fully transform..unless you are a full-blood but they were whipped out a decade ago."
he continued. "but you don't need to worry Jack, I'll show you the ropes of being a werewolf, and living in secret. you're going to feel everything at its max. I'll show you how to control the urges." Ethan explains.
"okay thanks, but right now I'm tired..so give me your number and I'll call you or something," said Jack while handing Ethan his phone.
Ethan takes Jacks phone from him and starts typing in his info then handing Jack back his phone
"thanks again for helping me back there," stated Jack.
"sure, see ya, Jack," said Ethan he jumped out the window.
"goodbye, Ethan" answered Jack as he looked out his window as Ethan took off.
As soon as Ethan left Jack began researching about werewolves but he mostly found fiction, Jack didn't know what to believe.
As he sat on his bed he was staring at his cell phone which rang. He picks up
"hello," he answered.
"hey, it's Bree. Listen I need you to come over asap, please?" she said sounding panicked.
"okay, Is everything alright?" asked Jack.
"I can't explain on the phone, I'll send you my address." answered Bree nervously.
"okay don't worry, I'll be there soon," stated Jack
"see you soon, bye"
"bye"
Jack hung up and got out his keys to start heading out to meet Bree.
Jack pulls into Bree's driveway. as he knocks on the door he is greeted by Bree's parents.
"Hey! Come on in." they both greeted Jack as they opened the door wider. Bree's mom leads Jack to Bree's room.
"hey, Bree" greeted Jack.
"hi Jack, what took you so long?" asked Bree annoyed
"uh...sorry?" answered Jack.
"whatever, so you know the way you're a wolf now?"
"oh yeah, but why am I here?" asked Jack.
"So my grandmother left me some old books a while back, and seeing you turn reminded me of this part," said Bree as she opened the book and sped through the pages until she reached a particular page.
On the page, was an illustration of a wolf. The image showed the wolf was completely black except for its red glowing eye, and its teeth had sharpened claws.
"you called me all the way here to show me a drawing?" asked Jack trying not to laugh.
"No, idiot, look here at what it says," said Bree showing Jack the words
This words said the picture above is an accurate representation of a full blood werewolf then she adds,
"this is exactly what you looked like when you turned," said Bree as she looks up at Jack.
"well that's impossible, Ethan said the full-blood werewolves were wiped out a decade ago." said Jack.
"not according to this book, apparently there was a lost baby or something to continue the linage" she then adds
"plus if this is true you don't want to go around saying it, the full-blooded we're slaughtered during the blood moon. and they were never heard of, until now. Jack, you are the lost boy the prophecy talks about." she added excitedly.
"how do you know the book is real?" asked Jack curiously
.
"because grandma told me stories as I was growing up, I mean I thought she was crazy but then you turned into a werewolf so this must be real," said Bree
"so you really believe this nonsense about bloodlines?" Jack's heart begins racing thinking about how much danger they might have put themselves in.
"of course, I do...even if I didn't at least let's try to understand what's happening. we literally now have an idea of what's going on. there's a lot more to this one book. but I'll keep you posted Jack" said Bree as she packed up the books.
"thanks for letting me know, I better get going though before my mom gets home," said Jack
"sure, take care" replied Bree.
"see ya," Jack said smiling then walked out of Bree's room and closed her door behind him. Jack walks downstairs and leaves the house, then climbs into his car and drives away.
Jack spends most of his evening watching TV then falling asleep.
The next morning Jack wakes up feeling better than ever. He decides to make breakfast, after cooking eggs he grabs toast from the refrigerator and spreads it with butter then puts jam, strawberry, blueberry, and sliced banana on top. After setting the table he goes upstairs, strips out of his sweatpants and shirt, and changes into a new pair of clothes. He finds a pack of jeans and a plain white tshirt he chooses to wear. Then he heads back downstairs.
He grabs a bottle of orange juice and heads out to the backyard. He sits down on the ground and begins drinking his juice.
While he eats, suddenly Ethan pounces out of the bushes and lands in front of Jack making him jump and drop his cup of juice.
"Jesus Christ! What the hell are you doing?" yelled Jack as he tries to stand up.
"well I said I was going to show you the ropes didn't I? this is me starting the showing," said Ethan as he spread his arms out.
"Ethan just because you're a werewolf doesn't mean you can't use a front door, like seriously," said Jack.
"Enough winging Jack, c'mon get up," said Ethan as he pulled Jack up.
"what, why?" Jack asked confused
"time to train you Jack, that's why" said ethan as he pounced over the fence into the woods
"fucking hell," said Jack as he does the same.
