Chapter 4 -Next Morning

I awoke to the sound of two men arguing. I couldn't make what they were saying expect that it sounded very heated. I opened my eyes where it was blurry at first, but I could make out that I was in a room that I had never seen before and in bed I had never been in before. I looked out the door crack of the room to see the two man who were talking in the other room .One of the men had long black hair had been pulled back into a pony tail and had to be in his early twenties. The other man was taller than the other man by at lest a foot with short scruffy blonde hair and looked to be about the same age.

Have I been kidnapped? Are these guys my captors? I thought for a moment. I felt fear welling up inside of me at the many crazy ideas kept playing in my head. I calmed myself down and I started to listen what the two men were saying in the other room.

"Why did you have do something like that?' the blonde haired guy Asked the darker hair fellow. "Come running in there like crazy animal not thinking through the situation at hand."

"I was just following orders from your father," The black hair man responded.

"Did he say try to kill anyone that got in your way?"

"Well..."

"That's what I thought," The blonde said. He rubbed the skin between his eyes trying to figure out his next thought.

At this point I sat up in the bed and put my feet on the floor and both of the men then turned around and stared at me. How the hell did they hear me? I pushed down on right hand to stand feel nothing but pain shoot up my arm. I looked down at my right arm to see it was banged up from wrist to my shoulder. What happened to me?

"She's wake," The black haired guy said to the blond who only nodded as they walked towards the door.

"What the hell is going on here? What happened to me?" I asked quickly as the two men walked in the room. I could feel my body tense up with fear waiting for them to answer.

"Clare how about we start out slow, like us telling you our names. I am Ethan and this is Kagan," The Blonde man answered.

"Wait back up," I said putting my left hand up. "How do you know my name?"

"I um.......we have met before," Ethan stuttered

"We have? I sure as hell don't remember it," I said. Just then I turned my shoulder a bit to face the men and felt pain from my wounds on my arms.

"Clare you have to lay back or you will just cause your stitches to come out," Ethan told me. He helped ease me back down on to the bed.

"Why do I have stitches in the first place?" I asked.

"Clare what's your last memory?" Ethan asked.

"I remember packing my bag full of food to go see King, this dog I found the night before who was out on the hill just outside of my family's cabin when I was......." I stopped. I closed my eyes as images of that night flashed a crossed my eyelids grabbing head in pain.

"Clare? Are you alright?" Ethan asked.

"You!" I pointed to Ethan.

"Me..." Ethan asked.

"You stood over me after that dog stopped attacking me," I explained. "Why is that? Why were you there?"

"Clare this is going to be hard to believe...."

"Ethan I don't think you should," Kagan interrupted.

"I have to! She is one of us now because of you!" Ethan snapped. "You remember that dog you found?

"Yeah, but what does..." I started to say when he lifted his right wrist. It had a piece of blue cloth wrapped around it, and not just any type of cloth is was the same one I had tided on to Kings Leg.

"Clare I am that dog," Ethan said. "Not a dog as you thought I was. I am werewolf."

I wanted to laugh at what he just told me. I wanted to say anything at that moment, but instead found myself still wordless. "Clare what happen on that hill was an accident. Kagan thought you had kidnapped me and that you had been working for our enemy, so he attacked you," Ethan explained. "I am sorry to tell you this Clare after all you have done to help me that you're a werewolf too."

My head felt light and my body went cold. "No," I said.

"Darling I am afraid that you are," Kagan said with an angry smirk. "By the way I am sorry about that. Reth is going to ream me about his when we get home."

"No," I said again.

"You are," Ethan said getting on his knees at my bed sided taking my hands and looked into my eyes trying to comfort me. His big blue eyes just like I had seen several times before, but this time it was a human face attached to them. I felt my eyes burn hot as tears filled them. "Please don't cry."

But his words didn't help as I got over whelmed with shock and the tears rolled slowly down my face. "I want to go home," I said hoarsely. Ethan hung his head and I knew that it meant that I couldn't go home. I just cried harder and Ethan leaned my head into his chest trying his best to console me. I buried my face into his shoulder and cried like child. I closed my eyes so tight that it hurt. I cried my self asleep in Ethan's arms in hoped that when I opened my eyes again that the nightmare I had woken up to wasn't real anymore that I wake up my bed and everything would be the same as it always had, but I knew that wouldn't ever be the same ever again.

I awoke in a panic the next morning. My skin felt like it was on fire and itched uncontrollable. I scratched and groaned in pain as I did what ever I could to make it stop, but couldn't make it. I rolled and tossed in the bed until I fell out of the bed and on to the floor with a load thud. A scream erupted from my throat as shooting pain when up and down my spine as I got on to my hands and knees. I could hear the door of the room swing open with both Ethan and Kegan came rushing towards me.

"Ah, shit her body's turning I thought she had a few more days before she was going to do that," Kegan swore.

"I'll get the sedative hold her until I get back," Ethan told him as he ran out of the room.

I felt Kegan's hands grab my arms to restrain me from my scratching at my arms and legs. As soon as he did that I felt an uncontrollable rage fill me up and I didn't know why, but I want him off of me so I could scratch and to do as I pleased, so I struggled against him by kicking my legs up at him and throwing my arms about, but his grip was to strong to let me go. "Settle down now missy," I could feel the heat of his breath as he grumbled at me. I couldn't think strength anymore as the pain continued to spread further across my body. I lifted my head back cracking the back of my head into his noise. "You little bitch," He cursed letting go of my arms. I got to my feet and ran for the door pushing past Ethan and out the front door of the cabin. I could see the morning sun rising above the tree line as I ran out into the forest. I stopped and fell to ground ripping off my cloths to get at the skin better.

"Clare please don't move," Ethan's voice said from above me.

I looked up at him to see the image around him was flashing from color to black and white. "WWHAAT'SS HAPPENINGGG," I growled out as I closed my eyes as I felt my jaw pop and the teeth of my upper part begin to grow. I rolled on to my back as I felt my bones pop and I opened my eyes to see Ethan, coming towards me with a needle in his hand.

I closed my eyes as felt something inside me taking over me. Let the change come, a voice screamed inside my head. Felt him grab my arm and I opened my eyes to see him placed the needle against the skin of my upper part of my right arm. I reached over and scratched him a crossed the arm that had the needle and he fell backwards dropping the needle painful yelp.

I rolled over on to my back as the change continued. "Let me help you," He asked me getting back to his feet and grabbing the needle that he'd dropped. "I am your friend remember? I would never hurt you. Do you remember the first day we met? You helped me that day, so let me repay you by you letting me help you."

I knew what he was saying was right. I stuck my arm out for him to give me the injection. He grabbed my arm as the muscles switched and convulsed he stuck the needle in and held my body close as I felt my body go limp. "I got you, and I'll never hurt you," his voice whispered to me as I feel asleep in his arms.
