By AL J Vermette
In the year 2041, the world learned that the mythological
creature known as the lycanthrope a.k.a werewolves were
indeed real, when they came out to the public after
centuries of hiding.
They would have stayed in mankind’s shadows forever
for not a strange sickness running throughout their race
wiping out 60 percent of the immortals. With nowhere to
turn, they made their existence known to the world in hopes
that we could help save their race from the brink of
extinction. Men of science soon found them a cure and
slowly their numbers grew again. Without fear of exposure or suppression, their kind
multiplied rapidly and soon within 20 years we the human race...the lords of the planet
became the minority.
The very notion that these subhuman creatures hid among us for so long and now
out numbered us 5to1 drew fear in the hearts among the human race. Some wanted
their kind to join us but others saw them and their way of life as a threat. We feared
that since they we no longer hidden that soon it was only a matter of time before we
would become prey. A ban on all Lycanthrope transformations was issued by law and
they saw this as a violation of their rights.
As protests on Washington raged on for years, street fights and riots waged in the
cities and a new emerging KKK began a nation wide witch hunt for anyone with the
power to become wolf. Marshall Law resulted and wide scale inner nation war
exploded first in the U.S. before moving outward upon the world. One man, the most
powerful of the Lycan, Klans, united his race and declared himself as their king.
Taking up refuge in an old English castle stronghold, he waged war on humanity. To
combat the enemy, a strike team was enforced to keep the creatures in check in the
year 2064
......And so W. O. L. F.: World Operation Lycan Force was formed.
“Team Two... Go.... Go” the voice called over the teams headsets as three heavily
armed men busted in the door to the old run down factory set on the out skirts of long
a dead town. “We’re in.....Team Two is a go!” called out Jacks, the leader of his
squad as his men moved in with fully automatic AK-47s unlocked and burning for
action. The teams moved into an open midway as they slowly moved apart from each
other as they felt eyes upon them with each step.
Jason sat motionless, his heart pounding as he watched his commander give the call.
“Team One Deploy”
As two warriors jumped from the open sliding door of the chopper sliding down the
zip lines to the roof below, Jason knew that now it was his turn. Although he had
performed this action many times to the point he could do it in his sleep, now was the
moment of truth as this was no longer a war game but a full out attack on the enemy,
his first as part of the assault team. His eyes met with that of his commander and he
knew that was to be said before the man could even speak and yet his fears held the
young man in place until the older more seasoned commando burst forth his orders.
“Now Bunny now go...go” he cried out as the young man moved for the open
chopper door. Careful not to catch his back mounted ninja sword on the opening and
with nothing more than his many hours of training, Jason made his drop from the
Wasp followed a moment later by his commanding officer.
As Jason hit the rooftop, T-Rex taped in right behind him and without delay called his
ground unit.
“Cyclops... what’s your twenty?” He called.
“Cyclops here...all clear, I’m on the stairwell working up to the 2nd floor.” called back
the voice of his best and most fearsome fighter. Jason unhooked himself from the zip
line and took his place beside his other two team members Reaper and Ghost as they
stood awaiting orders.
“Jacks....Carnage and you?” T-Rex questioned.
“Jacks here...Carnage and me are working our way to the lower levels of the plant.
Nothing yet...no sign of furries.” Jacks said as he and his team mate with drawn
weapons worked their way into the depths of the old decaying hulk of what was once
car building establishment long ago.
“Ok then lets go” T. Rex called. “Ghost, Reaper, you two head to the north side and
work your way down. Bunny you come with me and stay close, we will do the south
end.” He said as he made his way to the rooftop doorway.
“Yeah Bunny stay close.....we don’t want to loose you on your first deployment with
us.” Ghost said with a snicker as he raised his weapon and made his way into the
doorway followed by Reaper with a smile as he made the comment “Ah ...rookies you
gotta fucking love ‘um.”
“Hey Jacks.”
“Yeah man.”
“I don’t there are any furries in this place. I think we’ve on a wild goose chase.
Someone shaken our chains.”
“I don’t know but stay awake. I don’t want one of the bastard’s getting my ass. I got
a date with Carmen tonight.”
“Carmen isn’t she the one with the big.......”
“Oh yeah! She’s the one.”
“Oh shit Jacks how the hell did you score that one?”
“I do a little fast talk and a whole lot of bullshit, my man.”
Yeah, that must have been a lot of bullshit to nail down that chick.”
“Well you know my dear friend Carnage when you got it...you got it.”
“Yeah man you got.”
“Tonight when you assholes are wiping down your guns, Carmen will be shining my
rifle all night.”
“Hey a little less about you pecker and a little more looking for monsters, ok boys.”
Came T. Rex’s voice over the radio headset.
“Cyclops here, yo Commander are you sure we have furries in this place. I don’t see
shit yet. I want something to shoot.”
“Hang on Cyclops, our Intel spotted the den two days ago from a surveillance drone
flying over head.”
“Yeah well I still see nothing. Not even a rats in this hell hole.”
Jason did as he was told as he stuck close to his commander for not only safety but
also for guidance on this his very first assignment since coming up the ranks to join
W. O. L F., the darkest of black ops. Their sole mission was to seek and destroy any
and all up rising of Lycanthrope activity.
“Bunny, safety off?” T-Rex asked the young soldier.
“Yes sir its off, ready for action sir.” he spoke out.
“Good you better be, I smell werewolf here somewhere.”
The young man could feel his heart beating like mad and bit of a numb feeling in his
legs as he walked behind his commander, but he was well trained and knew his job
even better than he thought.
“Commander”
“Go ahead Reaper.”
“Ghost and I hear something from down the hall.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t know....it’s too faint to really hear but something is in a room about ten clicks
ahead of us.”
“Your Twenty?”
“Lower level, sub basement #1. I believe.”
“Check it out...keep me posted.”
“Reaper out.”
“Shit man, do you hear that.” Ghost said as the two men moved on an old rotted
door and the end of a long hallway.
“Teams One and Two head for the lower levels meet up with Ghost and Reaper. We
may have made contact with the enemy” T- Rex relayed over his radio as the other
complied. With fingers on triggers ready to pull, Ghost used the barrel of his weapon
to push open the door before him. Reaper behind him in the ready if something were
to rush them from out of the dark. “You hear that man..... you hear that.”
“Yeah....sounds like a kid’s cry.”
“Yeah, it does Reaper, don’t it.”
As the two slowly entered the room, something could be seen ducking in the far
corner of the empty room.
“Holy shit you see that?” Ghost asked as his team mate got on the mic.
“This is Reaper.” he called out.
“Go ahead report.” said T- Rex.
“Commander, we found a young child held up in one of the rooms. It looks like she
may have been intended to be food for the beasts.”
The child of about six lay balled up weeping as the men stood over her.
“Stay with the child I’m on my way.” T-Rex said as he looked Jason’s way and
nodded his head to follow. The man before him may have been a good twenty years
older than he but T-Rex made running with all their gear look easy. Under his black
molded body armor Jason was wet from both fear and the action of running with so
much protection covering his body. He knew that he should have strapped his back
sword belt better as the thing seemed to move about on her shoulder but with gun in
hand and at the pace they were moving he could not stop to play with his blade
sheath .
“Hey little girl are you ok? We are here to help you.” Reaper asked the child who laid
shaking, looked up at the two men over her. They could hear T-Rex call the others to
join them as they waited for back up. The child with soft eyes still looking up at them
spoke in a said little voice.
“You’re here to save me?” the child asked as Ghost reached out his hand to the girl.
“Yes dear you are safe now.” he said as a grin a sweet little smile graced her lips.
Ghost drew up his dry chapped lips to match hers as he reached for the child to help
her to her feet. Her smile so soft and inviting, that the child held a glow about her as
the young man than watched as her glowing smile changed into something fearsome.
His eyes grew wide as her smile bore the sharpened fangs of a beast and her once
soft eyes turned yellow and foul. Little dark hairs sprang from her face and upper
body and her little girl hands became curled sharp claws.
“Oh shit!” cried out Ghost as he tried to pull away but his still out reached arm was
quickly latched into by the creatures jaws. He could feel the powerful bite upon his
forearm with only his armored gauntlet glove to keep the creatures teeth from sinking
deep into his tender skin.
“Oh shit man, get this thing off me!” he cried as Reaper pointed his weapon at the
young female beast. “Kill this thing....... she’s starting to bite through my armor.”
“This is Reaper, we have made contact with the enemy. The girl.... is a furry, repeat
the girl is a furry!” The warrior called out over their inner network as he pointed the
end of his gun at the creatures head.
“Let him go bitch!” he screamed bu t the creature only smiled still holding his
companions arm within her jaws. She was now fully transformed into a Lycan beast
and although she was still very young, the creature was never the less any weaker
than any creatures that they have encountered in other missions. “Let him go or I will
blow your head off.” Reaper shouted as his friend begged him to fire.
“Kill this God damn thing will you, she’s going to tear off my fucking arm!”
“Oh screw it.” Reaper cried out as his fully automatic assault weapon unloaded into
the forehead of the creature spatting redness over anything within a ten foot circle.
The sound of the gunfire was deafening as it bounced off the walls of the small room
yet the beast would still not let go. Her grip was like a vice upon his arm as the metal
forearm protector was giving way crushing his bone.
“Let go you bitch!” the man called out again as another 20 rounds went into the skull
of the little beast but still it held him in her deadly grasp. The creature head was open
and brain matter poured from its wounds yet the thing held on.
“We need help...here!” Reaper cried out over his headset when something large
came in from his right side. Before he could turn and face it, he saw the shine of
something steel gleaming into view. With one power swing from Cyclops sword, the big
man took the creatures head off so clean that the beasts was still holding into Ghost’s
arm.
“Now that’s how you kill a fucking werewolf!” belted out the big man holding his blade
high as it dripped young lycan blood down its thin steel shaft. Moments later, Jacks
and Carnage showed up at the doorway.
“Somebody call for back up?” said Jacks standing there with his gun over his
shoulder beside his mate. “This beast almost took my God damn arm off.” said Ghost
who could place his finger tips into the bite holes as though they were punched in by
a nail gun.
“Well guess we have at least one furry in this shit house” Jacks said just as
something came up from behind ripping him from off his feet.
“Oh shit!’ cried Carnage as he turned to watch his buddy lifted into the air and the
sound of his back snapping in an instant as he vomits blood. The awful cry from the
man sent chills throughout the souls of the other men, who for an instant found
themselves within a trance as they stood helpless as their friend was murdered before
them. The creature, an eight foot monster unlike anything they have even seen
before stood there with claws and teeth bearing. It seemed to show no fear for them
or anything that they carried to hunt it as the beast stood there almost like it was
baiting them to attack it.
All at once the team opened fire upon the upright animal, who stood and took the
firepower like they were shooting pellets. The eruption of firepower banged off the
walls of the little room like little bombs going off hurting the men’s ears as the giant
wolf stood its ground like an unstoppable force.
“Holly shit!’ cried out Carnage who took hold of a full magazine and slapped it into
place. “That’s all you human’s got?” The beast said as its mouth of jagged teeth
coiled up into a sick little grin. Its large clawed foot took at step into the room as the
men were about to open fire once more upon the beast. Then they saw the point of a
bloody blade come out the throat of the wolf as it screamed and raised it head high.
Its bellow rocked the room as the silver plated blade brought the monster to its knees.
“Hurry, get the hell out of there!” shouted T-Rex who as soon as his team were out
of the room withdrew his sword from the hide of the lycanthrope as it twisted in pain
upon the floor. Then he took his katana and tried to behead the brute but its neck
was just to thick to cut through. So he back off to join his team.
Jason stood and watched the action from about ten feet away from where he saw his
commander save his men. His mouth was dry and his pulse pounded blood within his
veins. His fear over riding his emotions as he tried to hide it from his team mates and
most of all his leader. As the team back off from the room, they worked their way
down the thin hallway from the bloody room from where they just were and now with all
seven members of the strike force together, they were an unstoppable force. Before
long, other lycans showed themselves as the team opened fire with an onslaught of
silver bullets and sword swings. Still the monsters did not fall for long and only the
decapitated lay still.
“This is T-Rex...we need an E-Vac now!”
“I copy that Commander. The Wasp will be on roof ..... ETA two minutes.” radioed
the chopper pilot as he brought the black copter back over the warehouse as the
team made their way back to the roof. As the men came into view from the windshield
of the Wasp, only six were seen.
“Where the hell is Jacks?” called out the pilot as the team entered the helicopter.
“He’s gone...we lost him.” the leader said as he took his seat and the Wasp to flight.
*****
“What the hell happened out there?” T-Rex shouted as his men said in a small
briefing with only one window for light. “You all shot that fucker and it just stood there
mocking you all?” he added as his team sat still without a word. “I have one man dead
and another in the infirmary and we got our God damn ass kick by animals.” he added
as his face drew red.
“It...its was like they were superhuman or something, nothing we shot at it even
slowed it down. Hell even your sword only slowed it down a bit. The damn thing still
got up and came after our ass.” Reaper said as the others remained still. “It was like
we were shooting it with gum balls.” he added before lowering his head like the others.
“And the size of that beast...did you see the size of it. I say it was at least eight to
nine feet tall. We have never seen one like that, it was really a monster.” Cyclops
said as Reaper joined in. “Yeah even the little one took a full clip to the head...open
the bitches head and it was still fighting. Its like they are evolving.”
“Yeah but how and why now?” Jason spoke up as all heads turned his way.
“Hey Bunny, let the big boys talk ok.” said Carnage. “We don’t need your rookie
insights here.”
“Hey I’m just saying......It’s like they are evolving.” Jason added though his team mate
was rolling his eyes.
“Look Bunny I.......”
“Shut the hell up Carnage.....let the boy speak.” T-Rex said as he gave a nod to
Jason.
“Look I see it this way. For over 20 years we have known of their existence right.
2041 they came out to the world. Only a few years ago did this war between them
and us started.”
“Bunny, where are you going with this?” asked Cyclops who was picking his teeth
with his butterfly knife.
“Well, what if they are changing? We really know little about their kind. When the
war started they all went underground and even before that they really didn’t want to
tell us all that much about them. We don’t even know hell of a lot about the illness
that almost killed them all off. If they didn’t come out and tell us about their existence,
we would have never know and they would have vanished into time like any other
creature that went the way of the dinosaur or the tiger. They have the ability to
transform from human to a wolf like hybrid. What if this power to change was not just
in changing their form but also they can somehow change their DNA as well. Make
themselves bigger, stronger and better then before.
*****
“So you think that we are really in some deeper shit then we thought? Reaper asked
turning in the shower to look over at Jason.
“I don’t know but what we have seen today......” Jason started to say as Reaper cut
him off.
“Young man I have been out here fighting these things for two years, what do you
know about anything. This was your first field operation.” Reaper said as he turned off
his water and walked away.
“Yeah well maybe so but I know what I saw today. And after two years with W. O. L.
F., have you ever seen anything like what you saw today?” The young man asked.
“No.....never, something is happening and not for the better.”
*****
“My Lord, may I speak?” said a large man as he stepped into the chamber of the
War Lord of the Lycan race.
“Speak your mind.” Dante said as his warrior and most feared of their kind walked
forward to address his King. “Yes....tell me of the assault on our U.S. stronghold.” the
King asked as two young and lovely ladies took their place at either side of his self
appointed throne.
“We were attacked two days ago by the humans. We knew that they were coming
and set a trap...a decoy for them to take. They did but their firepower proved to much
for our people.” The large man said as the two woman lay themselves down at their
lords feet.
“The decoy.....the child you made was not useful?” Dante questioned as the two at
his feet began to show their true faces as their eyes turned yellow and teeth turned to
fangs and both slipped out of their black leather dresses. “Tell me Dargo, how many
of our kind did they take?” he demanded as his voice grew deeper and the two she
beasts at his feet now fully transformed lay at his curled toes like pet dogs for their
master.
“They took four from our side, the child as well. I child I turned myself they took.”
“And in this exchange of combat, were any of our troops able to get one of them....or
did only you and your hired help of sorry ass fur faces the only ones getting
dispatched?”
“No my Lord......we hurt one and killed another. His body still lay where it fell as I
took care of him myself.”
“And what of the juice, did they find it?”
“No my Lord, they did not. So far we made enough to make more like me. Stronger
than ever we will be. They tried to hurt me, shoot and impale me but I only smiled at
their silly attempts.”
“Yes Dargo yes, soon the magic juice will make our army stronger....more powerful to
rid the world of the humans forever. Soon our new world order will commence and a
rebirth of our kind will take this world from them and make it ours.”
“Yes my Lord...yes.”
“How soon until Red Riding Hood is deployed?” Dante questioned as his she beasts
licked his clawed feet lovingly.
“Soon my Lord, we are almost ready. Soon the human race will be no more and
Earth will belong to the lycanthropes.” As the large man turned to leave the chamber,
his master lost no time in changing into his true form and joining his young wolves
before his throne of gold.

“Sabrina, what are you doing?” asked Jason as his wife stepped behind him and
placed both hands upon his shoulders.
“Just thought that you need a little relaxing....that’s all, sit and enjoy.” the young
blonde said as she with both hands started to rub her lovers shoulders and neck.
“There, isn’t that much better?” she said as her soft hands tried to melt away the hell
of the past week for the young commando.
“We lost one of the team the other day.” he told her with sadness in his eyes.
“My, I’m sorry hun, was he one of your friends?” she asked in a tender voice.
“No, none of them are really my friends. They still give me the call name of Bunny.”
Jason told her lowing his head.
Trying to hide her smile from him she replied. “Oh hun...don’t they do that with all
new guys? It’s like a right of passage for commandos isn’t it.”
“Yeah but I’m sick of it. I want a real name...you know something cool like...something
really kinda bad ass you know.” he said with a grin and a chuckle.
“You a bad ass . . . you’re too boy scout like my love to be a bad ass.” she told him
as she brought her lips to his ear. “You’re really too sweat to even be in this war.....
you’re a lover not a fighter.” She said wrapping her arms around him and holding him
tenderly.
“Boy scout thanks, maybe I should have been a banker like my o ld man. Being in a
monkey suit all day is not my thing.” he said tilting his head back to look into his wife’s
eyes. “You know it’s funny, when I was a kid I loved them old werewolf movies and
books. You know before we knew that they were real.” he said still looking back.
“I know, my brother was the same way growing up.” Sabrina added.
“I loved the novel ‘Lycanthrope: Nature of The Beast’ by AL J. Vermette when I was
young. My mother hated me from reading those kind of books or watching werewolf
movies or anything of the kind. Then they became all too real and those old books
don’t seem much like fiction in 2064. It’s a new feeling altogether when you know the
monsters are really out there. Now I fight them, who would ever think Jason Kane
werewolf fighter.” he added as he laid his head back into his wife’s arms and closed
his eyes.
*****
Dante walked the long passageway to his control room. Though his castle fortress
was hundreds of years old, his control room was state of the art. With two viewing
screens before him, he could tap into almost any camera in the world with his
computers that ran day and night. Hitting a switch on the panel he opened a com link
with one of his covert spies.
“This is Dante, what’s your status?” he said as a voice on the other side make their
reply.
“Dutch here, I am outside the target now. Waiting for orders to deploy Red Riding
Hood.” said the voice.
With a wicked grin over his lips, the tall dark Dante spoke the words that he so
longed for. “Release red Riding Hood now.” he ordered as his agent obeyed.
“Yes my Lord.....Red Riding Hood is away.” he said as he clicked the open lock on
the limo back door and out stepped a lovely young lady as she stepped away from the
long car and made her way toward her intended target.
As she walked, she mixed in with others going in the same direction until she was in
the center of a mass crowd as they walked up to the doors of the White house. From
the car, Dutch watched as she mixed in with all other people joining on the daily
walking tour as she entered the big house as though she was any other human on a
day trip. “Dutch here, the wolf is among the sheep.”
*****
“What’s the matter?” Jason’s wife called out as he ran for his gear in the bedroom
before making his way to the front of the house.
“Something’s happened. Lock the doors and do nothing until you hear from me.” he
cried out as he ran out of the front door. A jeep was already waiting for him outside
and within a flash he was gone.
“What’s going on?” Jason asked the driver who looked even younger then he.
“I don’t know sir. I was only told to get you. Others are getting the rest of the W. O .
L. F. Team. The only thing I do know is that something happened at the White
House.” the young man told the commando as he could feel his heart pounding madly.
“Oh my God...what have these monsters done now.” the young warrior said to
himself as he tried to steady his nerves.
*****
Within the hour, all members of the World Operation Lycan Force stood before their
commanding officer awaiting orders. Even the hurt Ghost stood in line still in pain with
his painful arm but he would be no where other than with his team. All eyes were on T-
Rex as he took a deep breath before engaging his men.
“Our worst fears have now come true, the Lycanthropes have laid siege to the White
House.” His very words seemed unreal even though as he spoke each word they
knew they were needed now more then ever.
“Commander what’s the word, what are we going to do?” Reaper asked as he pulled
the straps on his sword sheath into place.
“We do what we do, but no matter what, President Jones must not be hurt.” T-Rex
said in a calm yet strong voice.
“Sir, where is The President now?” asked Jason.
“He’s in the bunker below the house. The one built in 2025 in case of a nuke
attack.” their commander said.
“Shit even the Prez has a panic room.” Cyclops chuckled as the other joined. T-Rex
let the issue go knowing full well that some of his men were not coming home tonight
and let them have a fleeting moment of relief.
*****
The streets were clear as the black Hummer made its way to the front of 1600
Pennsylvania Ave where it riders sprang out the doors guns in hand and ready for
battle. The street was lined with cops, news trucks and bystanders all taking in the
view of the most mighty of houses held hostage by the most apex hunter the world
has ever seen.
“What do we know?” T-Rex questioned the police captain who was in charge for the
moment.
“One....just one of them things walked into the White House about two hours ago
and morphed right there in the middle of the tour group that she went in with. No one
knew anything until the bitch changed and ripped apart anyone within her reach. All
CIA members were taken out by her alone before others of her kind entered freely.”
The man said with a quiver in his voice. “They have the whole place, Jones was
brought to his bunker but the rest of his staff and the Vice President all fell in the
blood bath.” he went on to add.
“One...just one werewolf did at that?” W. O. L. F.’s commander questioned shaking
his head.
“Yeah...just one. She was like super human, one man said who saw the slaying first
hand as his wife was gutted before him. The others that went in after her also had
unbelievable power unlike any lycan ever seen.” the cop said as T-Rex’s team stood
by.
“Oh hell...we’ve fighting super wolves now.” Ghost commented as Jason could feel
his legs growing weaker as he stood. Praying that it didn’t show on his face he like his
team waited for the go order before entering into no mans land.
“How many beasts are there?” asked the commando leader.
“The one female and about ten big males maybe. They came from that old black limo
over there we think.”
“Ok....we all know our job. Lets go in and take them out!” cried T-Rex as he charged
for the open gates with his team behind him. Like a force of nature, they burst forth
into the main doors guns ready as the sound of thunder rag out from their weapons.
Two lycans were cut down before they could even fully change but others rushed the
team head on. The hits of silver upon their harry bodies backed off the beasts but
none once fully transformed could be brought down.
“Shit nothing stops these things!” cried out Ghost as the men battled their way to the
lower level and toward where the most important man of the nation was hidden away.
Their orders are to bring Jones out at all cost.
“Aim for their God damn eyes!” Shouted the commander who lead the way as the
team as a whole moved together like a link in a chain.
Although bigger and fearsome than any werewolves ever seen before, even those
who were hit in the face were still blinded giving way to a commando to behead the
beast as they made for the lower safe zone.
“Ghost stand guard and make sure none of them damn fur coats make it down
here.” T-Rex ordered as he came to the steel door of the bunker.
“Oh shit Commander I don’t like this.” cried Carnage as they came upon the door
torn open and blood spattering its paint. With guns pointed forward, the team slowly
entered to find red bodies lining the floor.
“There in the back room, something is in there.” Reaper called out as the men
moved in on the sound.
To their horro,r standing there in the center of the room stood the same beast they
encountered the week before. The creature a good eight feet tall bigger then any
lycanthrope ever seen in full transformation. Its long shaggy matted hair dangled off
its body as it stood full upright with stained red teeth and long boney fingered claws.
From the team’s vantage point, they could see that the man they came for was hardy
alive as he hung in the claws of the creatures right hand.
“Come and get him if you can human.” the beast said baiting the team to attack it as
it held their nations leader. “Its time for us to rule now little people...your rein on this
planet is coming to an end and our new order will forever live on.” the creature said as
T-Rex held his trigger finger at the ready just dying to unleash his magazine into the
monsters torso.
As T-rex and the beast stood in a sort of bloody standoff, Jason heard something
come from behind him. He was the last member to enter the bunker and could hear
Ghost talking to someone outside the room where he stayed to stand watch.
Stepping away from the main action the young man moved to where he has saw his
team member.
“Ghost......Ghost are you there?” he called out just as he turned the corner to see
Ghost and a young pretty woman standing near him.
“Ghost who the hell is she?” Jason requested.
“She was hiding in the attack, I told her to wait here with me.” he said with a dumb
look on his face.
“No you fool, back away!” Jason called out just as the girl reached out and took the
man by the face with a long boney hand topped with long sharp curled claws.
“You human males...your so easy to prey upon.” she said just as she started to
change.
At first, Jason was stunned to see such a sight. He had never really seen one
transform before him. Her young pretty face with lips so red and eyes so green
turned to horror as her face bent out of shape forming a muzzle and teeth grew into
fangs. Her eyes once tender now a pale yellow as she spouts little white hairs from
her face on down her bust line. Without thought, the young man opened fire on the
she beast and watched as the silver cut into her skin like darts yet she remained on
her feet. The action though was more than enough to open her grip on Ghost and as
she did, he went for his sword and with one cut took her head clean off as it fell
beside her still half turned body.
“Thanks man....you saved my ass” Ghost said looking over to Jason who gave him a
nod. There bonding didn’t last as a blast of fire power came from the other room.
The great dark wolf had crushed his victims head within his claws forcing the team all
to open fire. The hits back the creature down and forced it to at last fall. Reaper
