Desert Werewolf Ch.5 -Resub

Crimson skies lead into the dark night.
We run in hopes to survive
They pursue without rest until our destruction
Will are lives ever be the same?


     "… Oh… My… GOD!!!" Erie practically howled, as she saw her reflection in the mirror. She slowly lifted her hands rested them on top of her muzzle and never once taking her eyes of the mirror. She dragged her paws down her body, through her fur and just couldn't help but shiver at the new feelings running through her body and mind. She could tell her sense of smell was better cause should could identify both Tyler and her dad by just smell alone now.

     After awhile She finally broke her gaze and turned to look at Tyler. He met her stare with his own sad look, while their father just stood there in complete shock, not even speaking or making a sound.

     "…Erie… I… uh-UMPH" was the sound that escaped Tyler's mouth. In mid sentence Erie had tackled him to the ground and now was nose to nose with him staring right into his eyes with a unreadable expression on her face.

     "You… did this to me…" she whispered before she opened her muzzle, causing Tyler to instinctively flinch and close his eyes, thinking she was about to bite him. It surprised him though when instead of teeth ripping through his neck, he felt something wet run across his nose and up to his forehead.
He opened his eyes and was instantly rewarded the sight of Erie's tongue returning back into her maw, her rolling off him onto the floor, and laughing hysterically.

     "Ohhoho Tyler! You should have seen your face! Oh my god!" she said in-between laughs. It took Tyler almost an entire minute to understand what had just happened and soon became angry as he felt that she had gone to far. Out of no where, Tyler let out a large snarl that made Erie stop laughing all together and look at him fearfully, before starting to whimper softly which soon turned to tears as she laid down. Tyler quickly realized he was actually scaring Erie and gained control of his emotions, replacing his angry with gentleness before standing up and holding  his paw out to his sister.

     "Erie… don't do that again" he said softly while waiting to see what she would do. After awhile of crying Erie put herself together and looked at Tyler's paw before grabbing it and standing up off the floor. Tyler gave a small chuckle and smiled at her as he realized she wasn't having as much trouble with her transformation as he had.

     "Hehe you learned how to walk pretty quick." he said to her trying to stop thinking about what he had just did.

     "Yeah… I kinda have been… practicing walking digigrade when… nobodies around" she said with a blush that showed easily because of her pure white fur. She looked up at him and he looked at her. He saw that even though, like him, she had grown taller after the change, he was still taller than her like before.

     "Hehe… looks like you won't have to worry about not being able to pet something anymore" Tyler said jokingly towards her, taunting her love of almost all furry things. He ran his paw behind her ear and almost instantly, her tail started wagging before she backed up away from him while glaring.

     "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" she yelled trying to serious but soon smirked and started laughing too as she found the whole situation ironic. Soon she calmed back down and again looked down at her new body before looking at Tyler with confusion I her eyes. "Tyler… what now?" she said with a little fear in her voice. Tyler felt the mood dampen and slowly replied.

     " I… I don't know Eri-"

     "WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" someone shouted and Tyler and Erie immediately remembered that their dad was in the room. They both looked at each other and then him before giving him a slight shrug causing him to almost go ballistic with rage.

     "DON'T GIVE ME THAT! YOU'RE GETTIING BAD GRADES IN SCHOOL! YOU LOCKED YOURSELF IN YOUR ROOM FOR HOURS!  YOU DESTROYED THE DAMN KITCHEN! AND THEN I COME IN HERE AND FIND OUT THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS IS MY SON NOW SOME EFFIN WOLF?! AND HOW THE HELL IS ERIE ONE NOW?! WHAT THE HE-"

     Richard was cut off as he found himself being held by Tyler in an iron-like grip around his throat and was basically dragged as Tyler pulled him up towards his muzzle which was now curled up in a very scary snarl.

     "One… YOU, are in any position to yell DAD! TWO! ONE DAMN BAD GRADE ISN'T A PROBLEM TO BRING UP. THREE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW YOU WERE GONNA REACT WHICH NOW I CAN OBVIOUSLY SEE! I COULDN'T VERY WELL CLEAN THE FREAKING KITCHEN WITH YOU WALKING IN! WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE THOUGHT IF YOU SAW A GIANT WOLF WASHING THE DISHES!? FIVE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ASKED TO COME IN! AND ERIE IS ONE NOW CAUSE I BIT HER YOU IDIOT!!!" and with that Tyler let his father drop to the floor and he glared angrily down at him before he felt something wrap around his back in a tight embrace. He turned his head around and immediately regretted what he had done when he saw that it was his sister, tears dripping down her muzzle, holding on to him.

     "Tyler… enough…" she said while holding on to him tightly. He felt warmth spread through his body before he lost all anger and looked back at his father, seeing that his anger too, was all gone and was now replaced by sadness, confusion, and fear. Tyler soon began to feel tired and slowly sat down onto the floor. He didn't look at his dad knowing that he could very well lose control again to anger so he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Erie had let go when he had sat but she wasn't doing much but looking at Tyler and her dad. Soon she sat down next to Tyler  and closed her eyes. She leaned her head against Tyler's shoulder and kept her eyes closed as she slowly start to drift asleep again. She opened one eye slowly and look at Tyler before completely falling asleep and leaving just Tyler and her dad in the waking world.

     "All of this and she can still sleep soundly." Richard said as he quietly got up off the floor to look more closely at Erie's new form. "I'm not gonna ask what happened to cause you to bite her Tyler, nor why you didn't figure you could tell me, in fact, I'm pretty sure I should have expected like this to happen with all the stuff you've collected huh?" He said before giving a small chuckle.

     "Dad… you actually… don't care that me and Erie are werewolves now?" Tyler said while trying to hide the surprise he was feeling.

     "Well… it's not like I can do much about it. Plus now I don't have to worry about thieves now that I have a guard dog." Richard said with a goofy grin before laughing. "I'm kidding, kidding. But I just hope this is just for when the moon is full…

     "Dad… That's just it… I changed before it was even night… I think this is permanent…" Tyler said with slight dread and some happiness. If this were true he wouldn't be going back to his human life, which he knew meant he wouldn't be able to go on with his life normal anymore. But… this was something he had always dreamed. To be a wolf, to have the senses, the power, the feel of his own fur and tail. His path was split and he didn't know how he would have to live now. His dad stared at him with a blank look as Tyler pondered all of this in his head. Slowly, Tyler sat back up and lifted his sister off the floor, taking her to her bedroom and then laying her gently down in her bed. He walked back down the hall and back into his room and then sighed heavily before looking into his dad's unreadable eyes.

     "Dad… I'm going to bed… I guess we'll both get the answer to this in the morning…"

     Richard didn't reply, he slowly nodded and walked out of Tyler's room, wondering what else could happen before morning. He walked into his own bedroom and shut the door, which Tyler did as well and walked over to his computer desk. He opened the drawer one more and pulled out the tooth that started all of this chaos.

     "All from one prick… I hope you didn't destroy my life little guy…" He said to himself before putting it back, closing the drawer and walking to his bed. He pulled back the cover and jumped in quickly climbing under the covers and staring at the ceiling and then outside at the moon.

     "Once you go down… will I be back to normal? … and if not… how will we survive? … I only hope we find a way to get… through this…" Tyler spoke silently to himself before giving a wide yawn and closing his eyes.

     "Erie… I'm sorry for dragging you into this…" Tyler uttered before sleep claimed him, letting him rest peacefully ever since it all began.



     Richard slowly woke up as the first rays of the sun entered his bedroom window. He sat up, yawned widely and climbed out of his bed to open the blinds, letting more of the sun into the room as he tried to wake up.
That didn't take long before last nights events shot back into his mind and he turned, quickly dashing for the bedroom door. He threw it open and ran down the hall, quickly opened Tyler's door and looked inside. The blankets on the bed were completely covering Tyler and the shape was rising up and down slowly. The entire room smelled like wet dog, causing Richard to gag slightly as he walked over to the bed. Slowly with a shaking hand he grabbed at the cover and was about to pull it away he heard someone yawn behind him. He turned to look and dropped his head at what he feared Tyler was right abut was true.
     Erie was still a werewolf and before she could ask what he was doing, Richard pulled the cover off of the bed revealing that Tyler had not changed back either, as well as the source of the wet dog smell. Tyler had been sweating heavily underneath the covers he did not need since he and his sister now had a very good layer of fur keeping them warm. Tyler's ear twitched and then he slowly began waking up, yawning widely and sitting up in his bed before rubbing his eyes with his paws. Richard stared at his wolven son and then at his daughter, remaining silent as she looked at him as well, shaking slightly as she too knew this made things much worse. Tyler turned his head after opening his eyes and saw his father and then his still wolven sister which made him stop moving. Everyone just stared at each other, no one saying a word, or making any sounds, Tyler shifting his eyes one last time from his sister to his father before he finally broke the silence.

     Well… I'm starving… sooooo… when's breakfast?"
