Short Stories

The Werewolf of Chestnut High.

I pulled my jacket closer as the cold winds of October blew through the school grounds of Chestnut High.

"Hey, Jacky."

I turned to see my friend William running with a smile on his face.

I smiled as he caught up to me. " Hey, William, why are you in a hurry?"

He gave me a toothy grin. "You know we always wa-"

He was interrupted by the school bell ringing, we both looked at each other with horror. We took off running, trying not to be late for class. As we burst through the door to the classroom only to come to an inpatient Mr. Cain.

He glared down at both of us. "Miss Stone and Mr. Silver this is the third time you have been late for class."

I looked up at him taking deep breaths. " Sorry, Mr. Cain but we tried to get here on time."

He rolled his eyes. "The same excuse I see, well I hope you remember to not be late for detention tonight."

William looked up with horror. "No Mr. Cain you can't give us detention, I have things to do tonight!"

Mr. Cain went back to the board to start class but not before he gave us a sharp look. "Well, maybe you'll remember next time not to be late! Now take your seats!"

*****

After school I waited till 6 pm, I got ready and headed to the school. As I got there the wind started to blow more, blowing my hair into my face. When I got to the school doors I looked around to see William nowhere.

"That's weird, he normally waits for me..." I shrugged my shoulders and went to go inside only for my name to be called, I looked up to see William standing by the gates of the school's graveyard. "William what are you doing?!"

Without answering me he took off into the dark graveyard.

"Hey wait for me!" As I yelled that I ran after him into the graveyard, running in different directions until I lost him and lost myself.

As I looked around at my surroundings the wind started to blow harder the night sky was filled with a bone-chilling howl, terror started to set into my mind, without thinking I ran in blind terror.

As I ran I tripped on one of the headstones and came to a crashing stop on the ground.

"Ow...that's going to be a bruise in the morning." I slowly sat up only to come face to face with William but his eyes were filled with a cold emptiness.

I tried to get up only to slip in a liquid, I looked down to see my hand covered in blood. I looked back up at William with horror only to see the bloodstains all over him.

A small smirk found its way to his face, with a flash his skin began to break with black fur growing his bones began to deform until it wasn't William in front of me but a black wolf.

Snapped out my horror-filled gaze as he pounced. I jumped up and ran until I could see the school lights.

I ran into the school yelling for help until I got to Mr. Cain's room, I stopped my eyes widened with horror as I saw the ripped-up corps of Mr. Cain.

I backed up and turned to run only to run into William.

He smiled. "Nice seeing you Jacky."

My eyes filled with tears. "P-please leave me alone."

His eyes glowed. "And where's the fun in that?"

As he said that he slammed me to the ground in his wolf form. Before I could scream he bit down on my neck and everything went black.
