The skies held moisture in it and there was signs of a heavy rain pouring . The streets of Cannid town was expecting the first rainfall. The summer was really taking everyone nuts and the sun kept on showing it's unwanted face and even the night felt it's weight .
Terry Hodsman a young student in the science department was on his way to school . He was seriously preparing for his final exams. Today he was to meet Mr. Wesdon, a man of science who seemed to know so much about animals and evolution .
Terry wishes to be as intelligent as Mr. Wesdon. Everyone in the school loved him and he was the most loved teacher in the school .
Terry was to meet with Mr. Wesdon for a brief lecture on evolution of dog to wolves. It was an incredible topic debated recently amongst the men of science. He was to present what he thought about this as one of the final projects he had to summit.
He cornered into a narrow street as drizzles of the light rain began to drop like tender matter on his body. He walked on until he got to a large building .
It was a three storey building and one would wonder what a man who was obviously a bachelor was doung with a three storey building. Probably, he bought to impress a lady or something . Terry didn't care , all he cared of was passing his final exams .
He knocked lightly in the cedar wooden door. For some reason, the house didn't have a door bell. There was no response from inside and he was forced to knock again and this time he heard a rush from inside.
Terry arranged his clothes , he did not want to look stupid before Mr. Wesdon. He waited for Mr. Wesdon to open the door.
"Good day, Terry Hodsman." a muscular looking man said as the door opened lightly. He was a man of about thirty years and even with his features he wasn't yet married or at least had a girlfriend.
"Good day sir." Terry responded quickly. Mr. Wesdon ushered him into the his abode .
It was a splendid sight to behold. The furnishing was pretty good and interior designs were magnificent. Terry recorded this at the back of his mind.
"I did not expect you this early." Mr. Wesdon said offering Terry a seat . Terry sat and smiled.
"What do you expect of a young man who wants to pass his exams and leaving the issue of education for good." Terry said with a sort of pride .
Mr. Wesdon smiled at him. He went inside and brought out two cups of coffee and a note. He gave a cup of coffee to Terry who accepted it.
"Sir, the project is about the evolution of dogs to wolves." Terry stated . Mr. Wesdon nodded approvingly.
"You know I have conducted so many researches of my own and I have come to conclude that dogs evolved from wolves and not wolves from dogs." he said to Terry as Terry's eyes flashed with inquisivity .
Mr. Wesdon smiled at him . "Let show you something." he said as he stood up from his seat .
He walked out of the parlour and went somewhere inside the house . Terry shot glances at every side of the house . He could see clothes that weren't obviously Mr. Wesdon 's.
He saw a school uniform hanging roughly ln one part of the wall . It was just exactly the size of a high school student. Was this a kind of memory reminder for Mr. Wesdon of his high school days ?
Something pushed Terry , something that he learnt to regret .
He walked to wall where it hung. He looked at it closely while examining it. He knew the school . He saw the badge and he remembered the school. It was just a stroll away from Mr. Wesdon's house.
He heard Mr. Wesdon's voice drawing close and he turned sharply to notice Mr. Wesdon behind him . He shivered in fear , hitting the cloth down to the floor . Mr. Wesdon's eyes widened as he saw the cloth on the floor.
"Sorry sir , I will drop it back ." Terry said having an obnoxious feeling about Mr. Wesdon's stare .
He bent down and picked up the cloth. Retuning back to his stance , he turned to look at the wall and gasped in horror at whar he saw.
On the wall was a hole and a skull lay in there . Terry's heart began to beat fast , his adrenaline doing it's job perfectly well.
He turned sharply to look at Mr. Wesdon whose expression scared him the more. He didn't even feel remorseful about what Terry had just seen . He smiled at him and walked back to his seat undisturbed.
"I'm leaving ." Terry announced but Mr. Wesdon didn't respond.
Terry went for his bag but Mr. Wesdon casted him an obnoxious glare and suddenly he could see Mr. Wesdon reveal an impressively sharp set of teeth.
Terry leaped backwards in fear and horror . Mr. Wesdon stood up slowly , rising up with dominion of the moment . Terry gulped hard and began to move backwards towards the door. He knew that Mr. Wesdon wanted to kill him but he was determined to leave here alive.
" Do you know why I am sk enlightened about evolution ? "
Terry gulped harder as he moved backwards . He did not want to hear or know anything Mr. Wesdon wanted to say . He just wanted to get out of here.
"Yeah. You know alot, Mr. Wesdon. You must have attended the best school to be that enlightened." Terry said wearily.
" No. I am a product of one . I am a werewolf." Mr. Wesdon revealed and that sent more quivers to the spine of Terry.
"Sorry sir, but I want to leave." Terry cried out but his pleas fell on deaf ears. Mr. Wesdon made his first movement towards Terry who shrugged in fear .
"I haven't even given you my notes . Don't be in such a hurry . You have to just spend sometime with me." Mr. Wesdon said , incurring fear into Terry.
"No, I have to leave." Terry said and summoned every courage he had to run towards the door .
Like a swift wind , Terry felt a shadow pass by hus side and he froze to the spot. He was helpless and was totally vulnerable to Mr. Wesdon's attacks .
Mr. Wesdon emerged from the shadows and held Terrry on the shoulder. Terry could feel his hot palm on his shoulder. It was too hot to be normal but he couldn't blurt out a cry. Fear had certified that .
"You can not leave." Mr.Wesdon said.
Terry made a move to free himself off his grip but Mr. Wesdon made a violent move and Terry was down in seconds .
Terry lay on the floor helpless but Mr. Wesdon was not done . He walked over him and used his violently sharp fingernails to scratch him on the neck forcing blood to flow .
Then suddenly everything went pitch black for Terry he could not longer see anything but he was conscious of his environment. He tried to say something but his weaknesss had extended to his mouth . He lay helpless .
