Meet Me At Full Moon

CHAPTER FIVE

For the first time after shifting,I didn't black out.But I was hell tired.I felt hot like am about to have fever but all my life,I never fell sick.Maybe due to stress.I lay sprawled on the floor next to the dead guy.Next to the dead wolf guy rather.He was still in his wolf form.Also for the first time,I didn't loose my mind after shifting.I knew everything that happened when I was in my wolf form.Infact I was communicating with my wolf.He had fun.Alot of fun.For the first time too,I enjoyed killing them.I allowed him to take control.To handle the situation.To deal with the bad guys.I actually didn't do anything wrong It was all self defense after all.They wanted me dead and I saved myself by not kicking their ass only but also kicking their souls to hell where they will burn forever.I saw that after I shifted back from my wolf form,I was just a little naked boy.Maybe not a very little boy.No little boy can put up such or defense.I don't want to feel like I committed an atrocity of any sort.Everyday,people die for the atrocities they commit.They pay for the sins they commit.That was what the priest taught me.I paid them back with their own coin so is not much of a big deal.Every town and city has it's fair share of people who are corrupt,break the laws often,have dishonest politicians, dishonest police and people with strong point of view that can at times create riots, looting and all but this men,are not from this town.The priest already told me that my types are not in this town.That my types are not accepted in this town.I have only one question in mind which is "what do they want from me?" and that's what am about to find out with the help of my wolf.I was brought back when I heard the crunching of tires on the tiny sharp stones outside.Sand was all over me as I was sweating but thanks to the cold breeze hitting my cold naked body.It made me feel better.A truck was parked infront with the head lamp on.Also a car was coming with the headlight on, totally blinding me.I held up my arm to cover my face from the blinding light.I was peering from under my arm to see if that's another set of bad guys.The car pulled up right next to the dead guard and a woman came out.I know her. She's the Regent.I have once seen her talking with the priest inside the church both sitting in the front pew.It seemed she didn't see me but was focused on the defunct guard.She went back to the car and came back with a torchlight.She looked too afriad and scared like something was going to come out of the building and swallow her.I outstretched my hand and pulled her jean pants.

The Regent

Fear got hold of me.Feae of the unknown.I was afraid of the too quiet environment I found myself in.I started getting that tingling, hair standing at attention, on the back of my neck that would come and go whenever I got scared.That sort of prickly sensation when the air seems to be energized.I clutched the torchlight hard.It had not been a great day for me today.It started right from the crime scene and the bullet proof chest guy and now this.Something pulled at my pants.It felt as if my soul left my body from my mouth.I felt like crying and screaming at the same time.Now,it looked as if a little pressure was applied to the pulling pants things.I started making up all sorts of weird things in my mind. A recollection of all the horror movies that I have seen.A recalled one where a boy was digging with his dog by his side in their garden at night and a hand came up from under the earth.Some sort of underworld thing.I spun around wobbling uncontrollably.It is a boy.It is him.The hybrid.He lay naked sprawled on the sandy dusty earth sweating.He looked alot pale breathing heavily.He was a nice and timid looking boy, a little too big for his age due to his well developed muscles and pale with freckles and watery anxious looking yellow eyes.His eyes were bright yellow. Relfecting back to my light.I allowed my fear to escape me.Not like I really feel secure around this boy but he looked helpless.Looked like he couldn't even lift a finger.First,I went back to my car and pulled out the blazer I hung on the coat hook.I wrapped it around the hybrid boy and pulled him up.

"What is your name?"I asked.It looked like he didn't need help.He was standing fine.Walking fine.

"Karl."The boy said in almost a whisper.

"We have alot to talk about my little Karl boy."She said holding his hand.There was this tenderness about him that she felt.

"Hungry."He said looking upto her.Once again,his eyes was gleaming from the moon shining above us He looked lovely. I walked him to the car and had him lie down on the backseat.

"I will be right back with you."I assured him.But he looked too scared.He looked like a Ferial cat that was thrown into a car.

"I assure you Nothing will happen to you.I will be back."The Regent said trying to convince herself that she is saying the truth.She needs to contact the priest. And the police They need to come here and make some investigations.

I was seated at the back of an ambulance being cleaned up by a lady nurse.Father Francis was sitting right next to me saying his rosary.The Regent was outside speaking to a man putting on his lab coat.He had his glasses on and he was looking at me keenly.

"Who is he?"I asked the cleric.His eyes were closed so he opened and scanned the outside.

"Who?"He queried back.

"The doctor.I have never seen him before."I said again.The man still looking at me.

"He is the doctor that works for our Regent only on special cases like this one."The priest said.

"Don't you think he is looking too much?"I asked again.The priest looked at him and he withdrew his gaze immediately.The cleric opened his mouth to say something but am not done yet.

"Do you think they are talking about me?Do you think am save here?"I asked.

"No I don't think so and that's why we are about to do what we are about to do now."The nurse who was in the ambulance had already left.It was just me and the priest in the ambulance.A blanket was wrapped around me and it felt really comfy.Father Francis came with pizza.Maybe she asked him to come with food or maybe,he knew his little wolf boy will be really hungry after everything that he passed through today.The Regent had headed inside the cell with the doctor and a group of forensic analysts.Maybe three or four.

"I am taking you out of this town now!"The priest said and jumped out of the ambulance.He helped me down but he left his car.

"We are not taking your car?"I asked as he hurried past his car.I was walking barefooted with the blanket trailing behind me.Still naked though.

"We are taking this."He said and slid into Chervy Camaro.

"What about the door?"I yelled from the other end.

"Just get in! Jesus."The priest said.There was no key in the car.He pulled down a series of wires and after some touching and untouching,the car came to life.Just as he tried to reverse the car,the Regent came out through the door post leading inside the cell.

"What the hell are you doing priest?!She yelled.

"Is gonna be a long long chase."Father Francis said to me and we sped off.
