(Switches off TV)

LAYLA :Sigh! I really don’t see why they’re making a fuss about the killings and the disappearances, I mean I help the town get rid of the bad eggs and this is how they pay me back?

PABLO: Layla technically no one is actually paying.

LAYLA:*still gesticulating *I mean Mystery wild killer? Phantom? Well Phantom is quite catchy.

PABLO: hello!!! Earth to Layla, you really shouldn’t be killing people that attract the news.

LAYLA: what! Pablo dead people always attract the news, I mean they’re DEAD! Obviously its news worthy. They can’t blame me; a wolf’s gotta eat.

PABLO: As your very handsome, wise, smart….

LAYLA:*rolls eyes and sighs* ughh! Jeez Pablo get to the point.

PABLO: you should stop killing for the time being and let the news forget about the “wild killer dog Phantom mystery”

LAYLA: *glaring*okay Pablo, mystery dog? You just called me a dog, whose side are you on? Here’s an idea Pablo, during the next full moon how about I eat you?

PABLO:You’re always threatening me and you forget I’m the only family/friend/brother/sister that you have minus your rich billionaire dad who has forgotten he adopted you.

LAYLA: Pablo my dad didn’t forget me he’s just busy.

PABLO:*airquotes * “busy”, while we’re on this, does he know? Know what??? That you’re a freaking wolf you dummy.

LAYLA: He doesn’t know that part, and I’m not just a “freaking wolf”, I’m a FREAKING GAMMA WOLF! Get it right Pablo, can’t you feel my claws?

PABLO: NO Layla I’m not one of the people you’ve killed, so I’m not feeling it, have you tried eating normal food? Like bacon, toast, hamburger?

LAYLA:Pablo only blood can satisfy me said Layla, I need blood! Blood!! Blood!!!! Pablo, Blood.

PABLO: *draws closer to view her claws looking in curiousity* How did you become a werewolf? You’ve never actually told me the story.

LAYLA: What do you mean? I tell you the story every time; you’re the one that falls asleep before I get to the good stuff.

PABLO: Then skip the boring stuff and get to the good stuff Layla.

LAYLA: Okay here’s the story, I remember that day like it was yesterday, 14 years old me cried that beautiful Friday morning that I wanted to go camping and my parents that loved me so much promised that night we’ll go after work.

PABLO: See!!!! This is why I fall asleep… the good stuff *smirks* this isn’t it.

LAYLA: If you would hush up! I would get there, now back to my story; daddy came home early with camping gears and mom had packed her best dish blueberry pie and some marshmallows. We got to the camp site and something felt ominous about the place, mom and dad said it was fine, maybe because it was dark and airy that’s all mommy said, while my parents set the camp, I strolled down a path and wandered off into the forest, I wasn’t too far off when I heard screaming,terrified and shaking in my little boots, I ran towards the sound of the scream , it was the camp site, a wild beast or would I say a werewolf munching on my dad and my mom shouting Nora!!! RUN! And I stood there frozen with fear.

PABLO: Hold up, wait a sec Pablo interrupted; your real name is NORA?

LAYLA: Yeah, I’ve told you a bizilion times, where was I?

PABLO: Wolf munching on dad, mom yelling RUN! And you freezing like a scared moose.

LAYLA: Moose??? Really??As I ran I could feel the beast closing up on me, all hope gone, I sat in the middle of nowhere weeping, it drew closer with its teeth ready to dig into my flesh that’s when I yelled PLEASE STOP! That’s when I could tell it was human.

PABLO: *mockingly*you could tell it was human right away?

LAYLA: Do not mock me, I am being serious, it listened to me and looked me in the eyes and then bit my right leg and ran off, me in pain, crawling towards the road side was found by the rich billionaire I call dad now, he took me to a nearby hospital and renamed me Layla and blah blah blah wolf powers a few days later, I found that the wound was totally gone I was afraid and confused, I had increase in speed, sight, agility, strength, my sense of smell even improved and every full moon I turn into a werewolf and have hunger for human blood and that I the end.

PABLO: why didn’t I? I mean the wolf, why didn’t it kill you?

LAYLA: Maybe it felt alone, but I don’t care, if I get my hands on that wolf I am so ripping his werewolf jaws out, I don’t know whether it’s a she/he, but I am ripping out its JAWS!

Pablo laughs heartily (she wondered why Pablo laughed).

THAT NIGHT:

LAYLA:*DREAM* No no no. please, ahhhhhh why can’t I use my powers??? No stay back, why didn’t you kill me? Why come to my dreams and hunt me? Someone help me, anybody

WOLF: No one can hear you, no one will ever save you, and you’re mine.

LAYLA: Ohh you speak?

WOLF: it’s your dream dummy, anything is possible.

LAYLA: why do you keep doing this? Why are you here?

WOLF: Because you want me here Layla or should I say NORA!

LAYLA: What do you mean? You should have just… the wolf beat her leg again (Layla woke up screaming in pain)

WOLF: Only you can answer that, enjoy the pain.

LAYLA: Just a dream, just a dream… taking huge deep breathes

( waking up to the ringtone)

PABLO: Hey buddy, did you hear the news? Get ready this night will be a blue full moon.

LAYLA: What! A blue full moon? That’s unusual sigh!

PABLO: What’s the sigh for? Are you okay? Layla you know what we agreed on? No more killing for now, see you in school wolf , see you later, I’m hanging up.

LAYLA: Ugh! He makes it sound so easy not to kill* mimicking Pablo *“yen yen yen no more killing Layla”, I am not a child, but he sure makes me feel like I’m still a child, *in an optimistic tone* alright Layla!! You can have a nice brunch before school and not think or say the word blood, dang! I said it, bye empty house, wish someone would just come see me off or something, damn! Wolf you’re lonely, SIGH!!
