My Werewolf System

“Iʼm sure you saw it, when you were running through those crowds of people. Their reaction wasn’t what you were expecting because that type of thing happens there frequently.” Kai explained. “Like you said, when people are doing things against their will, these types of things are bound to occur. It was unfortunate, but you have done your best by bringing her here.”

“I…I know her.” Gary finally revealed, which made all the Howlers react. “She’s a friend of my sisterʼs… well, former friend… not that it matters anyway. You know, for a long time I thought this underworld stuff was only surrounding me, because I was the one who decided to get involved in it.

“But when I see a regular person that hardly knows me, get involved like that. I realise the truth is quite different. Someone who just goes to school every day, could suddenly get wrapped up in all of this crap.

“Guys, I want to tell you all something.” Gary said, looking at them all. He waited, and the others soon gathered around him. Some were nervous, Marie and Austin, for one, believed that he was going to come clean about his secret.

“I think if we are going to be serious about this gang stuff, then you guys should know the truth about me. If you donʼt want to get involved further, I guess this is your chance to leave.” The others said nothing, waiting for Gary to explain.

“I used to be a Transporter for the Underdogs, but Iʼm no longer part of them. Because I failed to deliver a very important package, they’re still looking for me. Since Iʼm the leader of this gang it will get you guys involved, but I promise I don’t plan to just sit back and let things happen. I’ll fight them back.”

Before the others could give Gary an answer they were interrupted.

“Excuse me!” A woman in a white lab coat said as she came over.

“You are the boy that came in, correct? Do you know her, or do you have her emergency contact information?”

“How is she?” Gary replied, ignoring the doctorʼs question. There was a strange look on her face, when he asked her that.

“How is she?” The high schooler asked again, and since there was no answer, he decided to push past the doctor. They tried to stop him, but Gary was already running ahead and following the scent of blood that was on his clothes.

Eventually he was led to an emergency room, pushing the door open…he could see Stacy. The heartbeat monitoring equipment was flat, and Gary himself could hear no heartbeat.
