Chad you need to get up! If you jump on his back and pull his head back then I can attack him from the front and rip out his throat. We can defeat him Chad please get up.
“We could be together you know, we can get rid of this poor thing. You and I all alone with only the moon to rule us.” He uttered in his raspy low voice.
Lucy keep him occupied, I can get up quietly and hopefully have enough strength to hold him back while you attack. I don’t have much left in me. Are you ready?
Yes I’m ready.
“Where would we go? We would have to find a new town where no one knows us. We are going to be hunted down like…wolves.” I said convincingly. I walked a little closer to him, trying to lure him in. Just as I got close enough to smell his blood soaked mouth, Chad jumped on his back. As he tried desperately to reach Chad’s torn body to throw him off, I lunged toward him. My rage and anger and lust for blood controlled me. I attached my sharp fangs to his warm throbbing throat and pulled out a chunk to expose the flesh underneath. I became an uncontrollable monster, a fiend for the rich blood that ran through his veins. It was like drinking a cold glass of water on a hot humid day. It quenched my yearning for sustenance. He was still fighting, clawing and kicking, struggling with any ounce of energy he could muster. Chad let go and fell to the ground, completely exhausted and injured from their earlier fight. Just like I promised, I ripped him apart. Only when I was done he was Talon again, a lonely human boy strung out amongst the shrubs. Confusion ran through me as I try to make sense of that happened. I was sure what I had done was protect everyone- I killed a monster that wanted to feed on everyone I loved, including Chad. I knew we had to clean up this mess, before we could leave this place and find somewhere to start over.
Chad are you okay? What can I do to help you?
I am fine. I just need time to heal. You need to get rid of his body-let the werewolf take over. You have to eat him Lucy. If others in his pack find him like this, they will never stop seeking revenge. We will never be able to rest.
I shook my head in disbelief. As if it wasn’t enough that I had actually become this beast, I was forced to realize it in the most gruesome way. I had to. Like Chad said, we would never be able to rest. Piece by piece I consumed him until all that was left was a few drops of his blood.
We need to get out of here. We are already lucky enough that no one has found us. I’m sure they are all completely shocked that Blake was returned safe. Let’s hope they keep their focus on her.
Lucy I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I didn’t want any of this for you.
I know. It’s all behind us now. We can live together, forever. Just you and I like it has always been.
I picked up and he flung his arm around my still hairy blood soaked neck. We walked away into the woods. We had to begin our new journey together. We both looked up at this bright, round, powerful thing hung in the sky and howled a lonely, lamented song. As soon as the moon was gone we would be Chad and Lucy again-soul mates changed by one fateful night.
