Chapter 8 - It Is A Werewolf!
Here is what happened last time on The Werewolf's Superiority
I ask Dr. Cloe Addison to follow me into the cave, as long as she looks and does not touch. I show her the pile of human bones. She gets confused about why there is a pile and who piled it unto each other. I show her the drawings of the tomb below us, and she is stunned to see it. We have more questions than answers by looking at the paintings. So we have to wait for the team to go through the images to find out more. Dr. Cloe Addison and I discover three holes and that the three locking bars will fit in the holes. Those could open the tomb below us.
Dr. Cloe Addison walks back to the walls to look at the drawings. We need to find out what is going on in here. I look at Ethan while he is taking photos. I ask him;
"Ethan. If you see anything else that stands out to you, let me know, please."
While smiling at me, he quickly replies;
"I will do that, Dr. Andrews."
He nods and then continues to take photos. I hear the pitch in Dr. Cloe Addison voice increase as she says;
"Dr. Andrews. I think I have found something."
I quickly make my way to her to check what she has found. She points to a section on the wall and says;
"Look at this section. It is like this wolf or man thing eats and kills everything."
Narrow eyed I look closer and say;
"You are right. This part tells the story of a massacred village. It happened during the night. See, here is where the sun comes up, and then everyone is dead with a naked man in the field."
I see Dr. Cloe Addison's brows crease as she says;
"Here is where people came together to find and kill it. They had spears, bows, and clubs. But none of them returned home."
I think to myself, could this really be a werewolf? I murmur to myself and say;
"s**t. This must be what the Tribe Elder was warning me about."
Dr. Cloe Addison, asks concerned;
"Sorry. Did you say something?"
I hake my head and quickly respond;
"Oh no. I was talking to myself."
We continue to scan the walls for more clues. James, the videographer, walks over to us and tells me;
"I am done documenting all the walls, the floor, and the roof."
I cross my arms, smile, and ask him;
"The piles of bones?"
"Yes."
"And what about the corridor when you come into the cave?"
"Yes. I got both sides. Like I said, all done, boss man."
"Great. Now, hand the crew outside the memory card for documentation."
He nods and salutes me while saying;
"On my way, Dr. Andrews."
I shake my head and look at Dr. Cloe Addison while asking her;
"Are you ready to start working on the piles of bones?"
She jumps up straight with her eyes wide and says;
"YES!"
"Perfect. Follow me. We need to set up a table and a gazebo for you to do your work."
She grabs my arm while maintaining eye contact with me as she says;
"Thank you, Dr. Andrews."
As we are making our way outside, I ask Roman;
"Roman, can we please set up a gazebo and table for Dr. Cloe Addison, please?"
He nods and says;
"Sure thing."
We follow Roman outside. Dr. Cloe Addison tells me;
"I am so excited to start working."
Roman quickly sets up the gazebo and table. Dr. Cloe Addison gets her suitcase and quickly starts unpacking the tools that she will need. She presses her lips together, looks up at me, and says;
"I am going to need more tables."
"Okay. How many more?"
"Two or three atleast."
I nod at her and say;
"Okay. I will tell Roman to get more for you."
She gives me a shy smile and says;
"Thank you for the help."
"Sure. No problem."
I tilt my head backward and yell to Roman;
"Roman? We will need three more tables for her, please!"
"On it, boss!"
My cellphone rings. I look at who is calling and see that it is my girlfriend, Kimberly Tyler. I look at Dr. Cloe Addison and excuse myself and quickly answer as I walk away for some privacy;
"Hey, gorgeous. Nice talking to you!"
"Hello, my Dr. Do-good. I missed your call last night. How are things going over there?"
"Sorry, the signal here is bad as it gets. Let me walk a bit higher up the mountain to see if I can not get a better signal. But to get back to your question. Besides all the people dying on our way here, I am happy to be alive."
"What? Who died?"
"Steve, my personal security guard, and Dr. Smith."
"No way. You are joking with me, right?"
"Nope. No joking."
She gasps for a breath as she says;
"How did it happen?"
"We were in the storm of the century, and Dr. Smith fell to her death of a cliff, and a tiger killed Steve in a cave that we took shelter from the storm."
Kimberly gasps again for air as she says;
"That is awful. How are you doing?"
"Now that I get a chance to hear your voice, it is going much better."
"Ah, you love me, don't you?"
"Yes, I do! Kimy, and I haven't told you of what we have found."
"You have been there for less than a day, and you have already found something. That is craze. What is it? Tell me more positive stuff."
"It is a cave with a tomb of some sort."
"What? No way!"
"Yes, you heard me correctly. So, we found an ancient door that a native tribe sealed to hide the tomb."
"No freaken way!"
"Yes. So, there is art on the walls of the cave. And it depicts that there is a human or some wolf type thing buried in the tomb."
She asks, surprised;
"Really? Did you see it?"
"No, not yet. I am waiting for the photographer to finish documenting the cave first before we are going to try and open the tomb."
"s**t, Michael, that is insane."
"I know. It is a big find."
"You are just a stickler for formalities, aren't you? If it was me, that tomb would be open by now."
I start laughing at her and say;
"I know. That is why I am here, and you are over there. And that is one of the reasons why I love you!"
"Really? I thought that it is because you are such a hunk, you are good in bed with a huge-"
I quickly stop her before she goes on;
"Yes, thank you."
"I miss you, Michael. You need to call me more often, you hear?"
Someone in the background calls my name;
"Dr. Andrews. You need to come and see this."
I reply to them;
"Be there in a few."
"Do you have to go?"
Yes. Sorry, Kimy."
She sighs and says;
"I understand. I love you and take care of yourself. And send me a few photos of your find, you hear?"
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too. Bye."
I walk back to everyone and say;
"What is wrong?"
"Come and have a look at this, Dr. Andrews."
I put my glasses on to look closer. I ask them;
"Okay. We already know that have ever was in that tomb, killed a lot of people."
"Not that part, Dr. Andrews. This section over here."
I enlarge the image to look at it closely. My jaw drops as I see it. I ask the team;
"Is that a-"
"It is a werewolf! We have discovered the first actual evidence of the existence of a werewolf."
I step back and say;
"It is impossible. When I saw the first images on the wall, I thought it might be, but I wanted to confirm it first before saying anything."
I look at the image again. I say;
"I see what you mean. This creature doesn't stand on its two back legs as a bear does. It is the most superior of all the K9's that I have ever seen and much bigger."
Suddenly it hits me what the Tribe Elder has said. That we will awaken evil that this world does not know how to fight. But how can we not search and discover this ancient site? I tell them;
"We need to tread carefully with this. If we open Pandora's box, we can not put it back."
Everyone agrees with me. I walk back to Dr. Chloe Addison and see that she has already placed two full-body skeletons on the table. I tell her;
"Wow. You have made some progress in very little time."
"Thank you. Dr. Andrews. I have so much work to do. It is craze to think that these guys have just given up their lives."
"Why do you say that they gave up their lives?"
"They died of starvation. These people were enclosed in that tomb. They gave up their lives. It is unbelievable."
"Well, it is not different for people to serve in the marines. You give it gladly because it means that your death had some purpose to it. Maybe these guys did the same thing."
"Maybe. But I am going to find out."
I watch as she is working and ask her;
"Did you hear our discussion back there?"
"No, sorry. I was busy. What was it about?"
"We think that we have found the first remains of a werewolf."
She stops with what she is doing. She looks up at me with eyes wide and staring back at me and asks;
"Did you say a wolf?"
"No. I said a werewolf. The legend goes that there is a type of curse that happens to you. And that is when you change into a wolf on the full moon."
She shakes her head as she replies;
"That is not scientific at all. No one has ever found the existence of a werewolf."
"Well, you saw that was on those walls for yourself."
"I will have to see it with my own eyes to believe it."
"We will see once we have opened up the tomb what we are dealing with."
"Well, Dr. Andrews. You can do your work, and you can leave me to do mine."
"I just thought that you would be happy to be able to work on those bones as well. Anyway, let me know if you need any help."
She puts her hands on her hips as she asks;
"Please let me first get all the bones out of the cave before you try to open the tomb, please."
"No problem. I have to wait for Ethan to document all the walls first before I can attempt to open anything."
"Thank you. You will let me know before you will try to open it?"
I nod and answer her;
"Yes."
"Thank you."
I walk away from Dr. Chloe Addison and walk into the cave again.
