Chapter #1
The clock reads 1:45am and the barkeep hollers "last call on all drinks". A young man orders his normal beer while listening to the band finish. When the last song is finished it is nearly 2 in the morning and the barkeep pushes everyone out so he can close shop. The young man knows he is not too intoxicated however, he decides to walk home anyway. He makes his way down his street he pauses his door is open and it looks like someone has broken in. He enters his house being as cautious as possible for the intruder may still be there. The lights are out and it is dead quite inside with the exception of the distant sound of keystrokes coming from the backroom. He slowly makes his way through the dark highway towards the noise. Trying to not making a sound he arrives at the door to the back room and slowly peers through. Scared out of his mind of what he might encounter, he gets his phone ready to call the police. What he sees when he looks is a strange wolf like creature.
The creature's ears twitch toward the doorway and he shrinks back quietly out of sight of the creature. The creature grins mischievously knowing not only that the man was there but, who he was from the moment he entered the door. The young man goes to the hallway to regroup his thoughts and fears under control. He spots his shotgun in the open closet door. He checks it and its loaded. He makes his way back to the doorway. His heart is beating rapidly he fully steps into the room cocks the shotgun and yells at the creature, Stop what you're doing and back away from the computers." The creature laughs, "You think you can kill me with that? HA! Go ahead and try. You'll be long dead before you can reload." The young man frozen in shock not because the creature could talk but because it's fur had turned from medium light grey fur with a dark medium blue markings and deep brown eyes to deep blue fur with blood red markings and pitch black eyes . His body changed from a wolf like creature to a more lycanlike creature. "I swear by all that is holy in this world I WILL SHOOT YOU!!" the young man yelled. The young man reached back and switched on the main light in the room and saw blood all over the creature's chest.
Suddenly a shock of adrenaline already coursing through his veins heightened even more. "What did you do with my friend? Tell me NOW!!" the young man continued to yell with panic in the voice. The creature broke into a deep grin, and then he broke out into uncontrollable laughter doubling over onto the floor. The young man is utterly confused asking "What the hell. What is going on? Where is my friend?" The creature asked a question the young man didn't expect. "So you're telling me that you in no way shape or form recognize me?" The young man dropped the gun, "What in the HELL were you thinking man!! Scaring the shit out of me like that? I could have shot you!" The creature then replied, "Not with that thing you wouldn't. I replaced the loads with blanks."
The young man said, "Well I am going to turn the lights on, shut the door, and watch some TV." The creature replied," Whatever you say Justin. I will be online for awhile longer." Justin started to walk to the main room paused and turned around, "By the way...you didn't kill anyone did you?because there is a lot of blood on you." The creature looked down realizing he hadn't cleaned up after his last meal, "Oh crap, sorry I completely forgot to clean up." "Not in the shower Yautja you'll clog it up...again!" Yautja runs outside to the outdoor shower grabbing towels on the way.
About a half hour later Yautja enters the main room and sits down next to Justin. "So what's on the news this early in the morning?" Justin replied "not really same shit different day... you know. With one exception, it's about a local farmer outside town. He claims that a beast killed almost a dozen of his prized chickens. Do you know anything about that?" Yautja smiles and said in an extremely satisfied way, "Guilty as charged. Although I know he didn't see me. He just doesn't want to admit he was busy with a young piece. His wife would not be happy."
About 5 minutes later Justin asked, "Where did you run off to? You've been gone for nearly 2 months?" Yautja sighs, "Do you remember the night I left? We were at the bar and those guys picked a fight with us?" Justin replies, "Yeah, I thought you were going to be back a little later that night?" Yautja pauses, "I stayed after you left for one last drink and unfortunately did as well. When I left they followed me out and tried again. For awhile I let them win. When they started to rip into my family and threatening them I nearly lost all control of my BloodRage. They probably ended up in the hospital. I don't know because I ran, I should have never transformed in the first place. I needed to get away from everything to try to be able to control my dark side better. You know how I feel about showing this side of me and even more about the worst side of me in the public eye."
Yautja slowly transforms back to his "normal" human form. Justin says, "Well, it's good to have you back. I know you hate it when I say this but, it still needs to be said." Yautja sighs waiting for the inevitable. "You know you will never truly be free until you feel comfortable out in public in your true form." Justin sincerely finished. Yautja's eyes turned black, his hands turned to claws, and in deep voice growls, "You know how people treat us! They fear that which they do not understand. They see us and either run in fear no matter what our form or try to beat us to death!" Yautja sighs and retracts his claws. "But, your right and that is something I know." Yautja's claws turn back to hands and his eyes return to normal as he stands up and turns to head to the back room. "I need to finish a few things online... sorry I blew up at you like that. I guess I should have stayed out a bit longer."
