CHAPTER 13

Kevin ran off leaving Rex on the ground whimpering. I started to panic and then I remembered the housewarming. I called his brother.

"It's Justin. I'm at the park by my flat. You must get here as quickly as possibly. Someone has hurt Rex. I need you to take care of him" I said

"We'll be there as quick as we can. How bad is it?"

"He's been kicked two or three times, hard. There might be broken bones, possibly internal bleeding. He's still turned"

"We'll be there soon. Wait for us"

"No. I know who did this. I'm gonna get my revenge" I said and rang off.

I started running after Kevin. I ran as fast as I could, the wind whipping my hair. I started to panic again. I needed to catch up run faster

"I can smell him. I am on the right trail. My prey is not far away. I will call the pack"

An eerie cry split the silence of the dawn, and in the distance an answering call

"I am close. I can here him running. He attacked my mate. I will have my revenge"

Again, the eerie cry sounded and two replies, much closer this time.

"I can see him. He has turned at bay. It makes no difference. I will attack on the left. The pack is closing from the right he has no escape"

"GOT HIM, now hang on till the pack arrive just a few seconds more"

"They are here. I am hurt but it does not matter. Together we will take him down"

"The fight is exciting. I need to bite and worry the prey, but the other two members of the pack are too big. I cannot get close enough"

"They brought him down. YES. Now go for the kill"

"Noooooo. They are leaving. The humans are coming with sticks. I must go back to my mate"

I awoke by my clothes. I was covered in mud. I wiped my face on my arm and found blood.

"I must have turned. I'm a werewolf too now. I must get back to Rex" I thought

I could here the sound of people shouting and they were getting closer. I put on my running shorts and grabbed my t-shirt and trainers and ran back to where I had left Rex. His two brothers were helping a naked Rex along the path. I helped too and we quickly arrived at the car park. A car was waiting doors wide open engine running. We all piled in and sped off.

"That was close" Said George "Are you OK Rex"

"No I hurt all over, we need to get to a Doctor" He said

"We'll be there soon, hold on" Said George

"Rex. I got him for you. I turned" I said

"You can't have turned. You're not a werewolf" He said

"I did. You must have turned me" I said

"I can't. You have to be born, or hurt during the full moon" Said Rex

"I did" I said

"We'll talk about this later. You look bruised. Are you hurt" He said

"A bit I think I was kicked too" I said

"Then you had better stay with me and we'll both see the Doctor" He said

The car sped down the road and left town. After a few minutes we arrived at an open metal gate. There were two substantial houses inside. The car crunched to a halt in front of the smaller building.

We got out and helped Rex over to the door. George rang the bell. We waited, looking at each other. A light came on and eventually the door opened.

"My god what happened to you" Said the man. He was slightly stooped, with white hair and a straggly beard

"He's been kicked in the chest" I said

"...while he was turned" added George "And his mate may be hurt too. Can you help us?"

I looked at George and almost cried. I hugged him.

"Of course. Follow me"

We helped Rex down a corridor until we got to the last door. George helped Rex in, but his brother barred the way to me.

"Please leave them to it. George and Doctor Thornton can work better alone. You need to rest. Once Rex is safe, the Doctor will see you too. Come on and I'll sort out a coffee for you"

"I want to see Rex"

"No please. They can work better alone. I promise they will do their very best. As soon as he's stable you can see Rex"

"OK" I said reluctantly and we went back the way we came looking for the kitchen.

Philip handed me a cup of coffee. It was hot and black, but I drank some and burned my lip.

"Could I have turned" I asked

"I don't think so" He said "werewolves are born or they are made during the full moon"

"I'm convinced I did, I needed to reach Kevin before he got out of the park. I sacrificed my humanity to get revenge for Rex" I said

"We'll see" Said Philip "You have a wonderful bruise there. You will definitely have to see Doctor Thornton"

He touched my side

"Ow" I said "Yes, but Rex first. He's far worse then me"

"Let's go back up and see what they are doing" I said "Who is Doctor Thornton"

"He's a werewolf too, but trained as a Doctor with some veterinary experience. If anyone is hurt, we come to him. He's very good"

As we approached, George came out.

"He's gonna be OK, but he won't be running around any time soon" He has two broken ribs, and a dislocated hip. There was a little bleeding too, but he's stable now. The Doctor has given him a sedative"

We entered and Rex was laid on a trolley. His chest wrapped in bandaged like a mummy. He was covered in bruises and naked.

"Better cover him up or he'll get his death of cold" Said the Doctor "Now what do we have here. You must be Justin"

"Yes. I am Rex's mate" I said

"I see. It looks like you have a similar injury. I take it you were turned at the time?"

"Yes" I said

"No" said the brothers at the same time

The Doctor inspected me closely. He looked at my chest and then at my eyes and ears.

"You'll live" He said. I think you are badly bruised but nothing broken. "Have you decided whether you were turned or not"

I explained what had happened and the Doctor looked perplexed.

"It's possible" He said "You needed to find Kevin. The only way to do that was be become a werewolf. You already identify yourself as Rex's mate. I believe you did turn. You'll find out at the next moon. You must prepare yourself, and Rex. The next moon will be hard for both of you"

#

The night of the full moon came sooner than I had hoped. Rex and I went to the walled estate with the owner's permission. Peter was going to come as well in case I did not turn and had to get away fast. Of course he could not come until the nightfall and I would be at risk as soon as the sun went down. I sat in a summerhouse at one side of the estate and kissed Rex. He was well bandaged, but we knew they would fall off when he turned.

"See you tomorrow" He said, kissed me and ran off into the woods.

I waited as the evening approached. Finally, night came, and the full moon appeared. Peter was there and he watched while I turned.

Peter came round the next night.

"Hello boys" He said "I just want to congratulate you, and I hope you had fun last night"

"Yes" I said "I'm still sore" I looked at Rex

"Well I slept nearby and I arrived just in time to see you turn" He said to me "You were an adorable little spaniel with a really bad attitude. I tried to pet you and you tried to bite me" He laughed

"Then you ran off" He said "I followed for a while as you ran to Rex. I've no idea how you knew where he was and there were other dogs around, but you two ran straight to each other"

"Then it got embarrassing" He said "You fucked all night. What's that about? You are supposed to be werewolves, tear humans apart and eat deer raw. You two played like puppies and fucked like rabbits"

"It's his fault" I said "I haven't been able to make love 'cos it hurts too much, so he fucks me into next week when we turn and now I have the sorest bottom ever"

We all laughed.

"Well at least we now know that you did turn that night" said Peter "How is Kevin"

"He'll live, but he'll always walk with a limp. Those men came too soon or I would have ripped his throat out and be done with it. He tried to kill Rex"

"He has lost everything though" Said Rex "Christine left him and won't tell him where she's gone. His parents have disowned him. He was in the papers and they made it clear that he was cruising with out actually saying it"

"He deserves everything he gets" I said

"Maybe" said Peter "You realise that you and Christine are the only ones left from your group. You must find her and help if you can. She has a baby now and life will be difficult".

"I will talk with Jim and Stella. I'm sure they will know where she is" I said

"If not get back to me and I'll find out" said Peter, enigmatic as always

"Anyhow, it's been lovely seeing you two again" He said "Have a really good rest of your lives and remember me if you ever need anything"

"Bye" We said as he left

#

A few days later, I was laying in bed thinking about things.

"Rex, I'm gonna ring Jim and Stella to find out where Christine is. As peter said, we have to make sure she's OK. I know this isn't all my fault but I'm at least partly responsible."

"OK" Said Rex "But your not responsible. Kevin didn't have to act the way he did. He's then one that caused all this you had nothing to do with it".

The next day I called Kevin mum and dad and invited them round for a meal. We cooked a chicken pie, which smelt gorgeous. Jim and Stella arrived and we made small talk. Rex served dinner and I open a bottle of wine. After dinner, Jim and Stella settled on the sofa with a glass of wine each.

"Rex, that was lovely" Said Stella "But you two have been avoiding saying something all night"

"Yes" Said Jim "We haven't seen you much since the housewarming, what is tonight really about".

"I'm sorry we haven't seen much of you recently" Rex said "We have had a lot on our plates recently. But that's over now. We'll see more of you I promise".

"What we really want to know is how Christine is and the baby and where is she" I said

"We don't know" said Stella, looking at the ground.

"We do know" said Jim, looking at Stella and putting a hand on Stella's knee "But we have been sworn to secrecy. We won't tell you unless she says we can"

"Will you ask her to contact us" I said "I am partly responsible for all this and I want to help if I can"

"Yes" Said Stella "But don't be upset if she says no. The last thing she wants is for Kevin to find her, and everyone who knows makes that more possible".

"Thank you" I said "We can't ask more than that. I am so sorry for my part in all that happened. I want to make amends if I can"

The rest of the evening was subdued, and Jim and Stella left before midnight.

"Well that went well enough" Said Rex "I hope you don't get too upset if she doesn't agree to contact us"

"We'll see" I said "We just have to wait now"

Several days passed before Jim rang.

"I'm not sure how to tell you this, but Christine has told us not to tell you where she is" He said "She won't contact you and has forbidden us to tell you anything"

I was devastated. I handed the phone the Rex and went into the bedroom to cry. Five minutes later he joined me.

"Justin" Said Rex "Look at me"

I turned over and looked at him

"You are being a baby" He said "Christine has every right to do this. She has her own life to lead and wants to make a new start. With or without you, that is her choice"

"I suppose so" I said "It's just that I still feel responsible. I love Christine and I want to help"

"Maybe she doesn't need help. Maybe she is doing OK" Rex said

"I suppose. Let's wait and while and see what happens" I said

"Don't do anything rash" Said Rex "Leave it"

So, we waited. Actually, Rex waited. I found Arthur's number on the kitchen worktop and rang him

"Arthur?" I said

"Yes, who is this" He said

"It's Justin here" I said

"Woohoo" He said "You want a massage? I'll come right over"

"No" I said "I want a favour. Can you contact Peter for me? I need to find Christine and no one will tell me where she is. Peter said he'd find out"

"Are you sure you are doing the right thing" Said Arthur

"I have to find her" I said

"OK" Said Arthur "I'll tell Peter. I also know a computer geek, Jason. If neither of them can find her, no one can. I'll phone back in a day or two".

The next evening the phone rang

"Justin" I said

"Justin you were right to worry" Said Arthur "I spoke to Peter and Jason and they have found her. Peter told Jason who to look for and Jason went on the net and found a few possibilities. It took them twenty minutes to narrow it down to two. Peter went out to the addresses they had and he knows where she is.

"How is she? I asked

"She's not doing well" Said Arthur "You should see her this weekend if you can"

Arthur gave me an address

"One final thing" said Arthur "If this isn't worth a massage I don't know what is" He giggled, and carried on "Call me when Rex isn't around, or even better when he is. Bye"

I told Rex about the call, including Arthurs outrageous flirting at the end.

"He'll get himself into trouble one of these days" said Rex, but we'll go see Christine on Saturday, early".

This is a fantasy, entirely fictional. No animals or other entities living, dead or undead were harmed in its making. The only things that suffered are good taste and the English language.
