RICHARD
Fifteen minutes had gone and still no movement from
her. I couldn’t tell if I was mad, nervous or sunken in
regret. She was getting more pale by the minute, suddenly
out of desperation I slammed her chest and screamed, ”
wake up Lucy, goddammit!!”.
She jerked and coughed her way came back to life. I
didn’t know who to thank this time, I just looked up into
the heavens and blessed whatever god was looking down
on us as I carried her and took her home.
*************************
She didn’t look fine and she was having some fever but
her heart was beating fine and her system was OK. She
also hadn’t spoken a word, all she did was look at me
and close her eyes thereafter. She would open them
again and look at me and smile, then close them again. I
had never seen such symptoms before and all I could do
was just hope she would be okay.
This went on till morning and I decided to call the school
and tell them both I and Lucy won’t be coming today
which the headmistress agreed on. She finally slept by
6am and all I could was watch her hoping for the best.

RICHARD
I became tired of looking at her sleep and decided to
cook something in case she wakes and demands for
food. I prepared apple pie because that was the recipe
only I knew how to cook. I cleaned up the house and
answered some calls from worried friends and
colleagues.
When it was 13:20,she woke up, she looked at me for
about 10 minutes before saying good afternoon after
looking away from me and look at the clock. I smiled and
asked about her health.
She said she couldn’t really get herself, it was like she
was here and here, she said she was actually lost and
wasn’t sure she was still in this world. I walked up to her
and told her I had never been this scared since my first
transformation when I saw her lifeless on the floor. I later
described what happened during the ritual and after I
Pierced her heart. With tears running down my cheeks, I
urged her never to put me in such a situation, where I
would have to do what I did. She nodded her agreement
while cleaning my tears.
“I feel human, Richard I can’t believe I am free, I am
human now!!!!!!” she screamed. She was so happy, I told
her to sit while I bring something for her to eat. She
looked surprised, and I gave a wink. While she ate, I told
her, her wolf would come out during the next fifteen days
so she should keep count. She said she was OK with that
and couldn’t wait for her first transformation. After eating,
I teased her till she slept again. I took my mind off her
while I counted the days to Jason’s first transformation.

JASON
Each day that passes, I discover new abilities that have
come with the bite of six nights ago. I can hear and smell
from almost a mile out. It was freaking cool. I can jump
more than 60feet without breaking anything in me. I could
break walls, Crack rocks and bend metal. The one which
freaks me out amidst all of these abilities was that the
fact that I heal almost immediately. I am practically
invisible and I couldn’t wait for our next game against
those mitches.
Days went by really fast, I was a star among the team
members now, did I say I am now twenty times faster
than I was before, only I and Coach knew what changed.
Chelsea kept disturbing me, always referring to our break-
up s*x. She wanted another chance but I wasn’t
interested, not now,not ever.
On the fifteenth day, I followed Mr Richard’s instructions,
he asked me to come to the woods when it was close to
midnight and make sure no one followed me and he
made mention of me coming with a set of clothes. I
arrived the woods at about 23:42 and waited for him. I
waited and when it was close to midnight and I didn’t
see him, I decided to leave when I suddenly heard
someone drop from a tree behind me. I turned around
and I saw him beckoning me to follow him. Gosh! This
man was so creepy, so he has been watching me all this
while. He lead me to an open ground that I didn’t know
existed in this thick woods. He looked at me and said
brace yourself for the pains. What does he mean by that?
“Jason, I Alpha and creator of your kind ask your wolf to
Come out and complete the MAN and WOLF synergy!” he
suddenly said. What does he mean by these poetic
gibberish. Before I could think it out, my body started
moving on its own, I couldn’t control it. Fur replaced my
white skin, fangs came out of my teeth, my legs twisted
and that’s when the pains started because my bones
were literally breaking. I was forced to bend down on all
fours as my spinal cord cracked and took a new shape. I
almost passed out from the pains , I screamed and
screamed till nothing came out of my mouth when I
screamed. All this while, Mr Richard was just looking at
me, what a wicked, vile man, look what he did to me.
After a while, the pain stopped and I was on all fours, a
real wolf.
My fur was brown with some blacks here and there. I was
huge, and I knew I wasn’t a normal wolf. I was tall too
and my head reached Mr Richard ‘s shoulders. I was
angry for him just looking at me, so I snapped at him, he
just chuckled, that just me madder, I snapped again and
he laughed this time. I decided to give some bite marks
that would teach a lesson. I ran to bite him, he ran away
from me. Jeez! He was fast. I picked up speed but the
closer I got to him, the farther he got from him. It
became clear he was teasing me and actually teaching
me to run and control my wolf. It was great, I ran and
jumped and howled to the beautiful dark skies. He finally
stopped and started taking off his clothes, um what was
he doing? After doing that, he twirled in the air and
landed a wolf. Waoh! That was fvcking fast. If I thought I
was big, then I was a child to this wolf in front of me,
literally. It was massive and it’s eyes were glowing red. It
was fvcking tall and when it howled, I was forced to bow
down because my knees seemed to give way out of fear.
It spoke in some creepy voice and told me not to be
afraid that he is the Alpha and my creator. He challenged
me to a race with it, I was ready I told myself and told
the Alpha by growling.
We took off! Despite its size, It was amazingly fast, too
fast this time. I couldn’t even see it sometimes and by
the time we ended the race, I had lost with a huge
margin. Well, this was my first time though and even
though I was angry earlier , I enjoyed every bit of it, being
a wolf was the coolest thing ever.
Mr Richard changed to human, I tried but I couldn’t. He
looked at me and noticed my displeasure and told me to
think of myself as human again. So I remembered my
funny face and immediately my body started changing
and yes, I screamed again while Mr Richard didn’t even
say anything when he changed. After countless
screaming, I managed to stand up and thanked Mr
Richard. He told me it was nothing but that I needed to
transform more often to reduce the screams and pains.
He told me, “As my second creation, You are my Beta.”
what does that mean again, he said I was his second,
who then was the first I pondered.
