My Name?

I had heard the news of the murder while walking past a pawn shop window. Jerry the owner had called me in to help organize the storage area in the back. He didn't really need me to help but Jerry seemed to have a soft spot for guys like me and tried to help when ever he could. I had just gotten the five dollars he owed me and was about to walk out of the shop when a new headline streamed across the TV "A woman was found hanging from the Down Town connector bridge by her leg. Her body was cut open and her organs were missing." I couldn't help the chill that came over me. I was sure that is was girl that i had found in the park the night before. She was the first female of my kind that I had ever found, and instead of listening to my instincts that told me to make her stay I had let her go. I waved to goodbye to Jerry and walked through the door.

I was lost in thought as I made my way back to my alley. It was time to pack things up I had heard about an abandoned building on 23rd. This move would help me keep warm in the upcoming winter months and knowing this city this building would remain vacant for years. I gathered my pack that I had hidden behind the dumpster and made my way to 23rd.

I hoped the fence that was around the back of the building and found a broken window where I could get inside. I made my way up to the top floor and set up camp. Laying out the only blanket that I had and the meager amount of food in my possession. I didn't really smell any rodents but that didn't really matter they would be scared away by my predatory scent.

Murder

A murder has been comited in Lower Eastside if your kids are under the age of twelve we adivise you to change the program becuase this is a little graphic
Last night at around eleven thirty a women was found dangling by her leg from a wire attached to the Downtown connector bridge it was called in by some kids who were fooling around when they all of a sudden started to feel something dripping onto there heads when one looked up he saw a bloody body that had been cut open from chest to pelvis.

Unknown

I let the warm water drag down my body taking away with it the stinch of the impure.

i grabbed the slippery soap in afirm grip lathering it on my hands as i remeber my little game of hide and seek.

I followed the girl as she stepped out of the diner looking both ways before crossing the street headed twoards the parking lot.

I lwt her hear my steps as i made them so that she would be prepared to give up a fight, it's always better when they fight back always more fun.

As she tensly reached for the door handle iI struck silently taking her down.

i flashed back to the shower confused but then i finish bathing and step out of the shower drapping a towel around me.


Oh memories

book 1

I woke up before the she wolf arose i put some clothes on and then picked out a clean shirt and some jogging pants and laid them next to her

I left her a note on a napkin telling her to stay here but that if she left i would not track her down and she would be left on her own.
I made a quick run by the salvation army where they loaded me up with enough food for two for about a week the only bad thing is that i couldn't come back for another two weeks so that they could do the same for others.

I took the food back which consisted of dry cereals, crackers, tuna, one loaf of bread, Vienna sausages, and some spam. it would have to be enough i struggled eating this little with my werewolf metabolism i can only hope that she will be satisfied with as much it takes a while to get used to.

When this ran out we'd have to get up early to make it to the mission in time to get food before they reached capacity.

If she's still there that is.

when i approached the alley her scent hit me but i was still unsure whether she was still there. I walked to the opening and continued to walk down the alley past the dumpsters and garbage bags.
She sat there in the clothes that i had laid out for her covered in the blanket that we had slept on last night.

She looked up at me as i approached. i didn't know that she was speaking at first because her voice was so light.
I knelt down placing the bags of food in front of me. " I'm sorry can you repeat that" I said with a smile that she did not return. she coughed before she spoke this time "i said why are you helping me?".

" Because i want to" she glared at me. "don't give me that bull I've heard it before but i know all that you men want is one thing" she said as she got up dusting herself off "and I'm sorry Mr. but that just something that I'm not willing to do." she started to walk to the mouth of the alley but she paused and said "but thanks for the clothes" before she could walk away i gabbed her arm causing her to flinch and i admit i was angry and it satisfied some monstrous part deep down inside of me to see her do so.

" do you really want to know why i helped you , i helped you because you looked like you needed it and i am the only person who gives a crap about you enough to want to protect you from the steets before you get in any deeper and must drug yourself enough to forget what evr memories that are hounding you to get out and that's only through death." I pushed her away angry at he and myself for letting it go that far and because the hurt that had flashed in her eyes when i said thoose things but if she hadn't have heard them from me she wouldn't have heard them at all.

"sorry to say it but on the streets you don't get to much kindness so i suggest you take it before it's lifted out of your grasp"
i said in a softer tone of voice so not to scare her more than i already did. she turned around silent tears leaking from her midnight blue eyes funny that i could notice them at a time like this.

"I'm sorry if i offend you but in my experience guys like you don't come around to often and it's kind of hard to recognize them with every bad guy dressed like one, but it still doesn't change my mind i can't stay here i will only bring you trouble like you said you don't find to much kindness on the streets and i don't want my drama to keep you from helping someone who deserves it." with that she walked away without a word.

book 1 pt one

As the dark descends over my head finally allowing the moon to peak through i feel the change take over me dragging me down so deep into myself that i must claw my way back to the surface of my conscious

I do not worry though because i have had years of practice batteling with the demon that lays in side of me

As the change comes to an end a foreign scent reaches my nose causing my fur to stand on end

another of my kind has approached my territory and from the smell not to long ago.

I take a pause letting the wind blow the scent deeper into my brain engraving it to it's memory

I follow the scent from the edge of my alleyway it heads west going down near the river it leads to the park

i follow the scent to a bench which sits just on the edge of the park allowing anyone who sits there to see it from every angle.

but here is where the human scent ends and the wild begins to surface

I follow it to the underbrush nearby this is where the change had started

Crap since the wolf had already changed it would be harder to track

I breath deeply and note that the smell has gone deeper into the woods of the park i continue to follow it

i find behind some dense bushes a wolf crouched down eating something that used to be an animal as i come closer her hackles rise she has scented me and now is up for the attack

She growls deep in her throat warning me that if i come any closer she will be forced to attack

I bow my head trying to say to her what i couldn't say in words that i meant her no harm but i kept my body raised proclaiming that i was the more dominant in the equation and that she best remember it

Her growls lowered into a hum saying that she was hesitant to believe this stranger but showing an understanding that she had no choice

At this point i approached her careful not to make any sudden movements as to not scare her off

I came up against her side scenting her as i came up behind her she sat down and preceded to growl a warning

i gestured with my head for her to follow me she agreed with a shake of her head and we were off
i took her back to my alley and gestured for her to lay down she did and i laid next to her sharing my warmth i didn't go to sleep until i was sure that her breath had evened out at that point i let the darkness of promised dreams take me

secrets better left untold

I am living in an ally
I get my food from the trash of a neighboring Chinese restaurant
I've been told that my life is difficult
But i think that my life posses a certain freedom
I can leave when i want no bills to pay and i can run to my hearts content
A few years a go when i had just relocated to the city i was bitten
I woke up in a pile of trash next to a rundown apartment building
At first nothing happened i went to the river cleaned my wound and bandaged it with a piece of my t shirt
It stayed that way for about four more weeks when suddenly i changed
It was a full moon i started to grow claws and fur sprouted out from all over my body
I was a beast but a beast that could now fend for it's self


I later woke up naked and shivering in a forest covered in blood
This is the time i'd rather not think about
As the years woe on i learned to be consious when i changed and even to change when
the moon wasn't full in the sky

As i said before i could fend for myself and feed myself
I mostly stay in human form because it doesn't take away as much energy
I am a loner among my kind i have met many but there ways are to hostile or they are unable to take care of themselves
something that i am not willing to take responsibility for but i will make sure
that they are safe as long as they are in my territory

I get clothes for doing odd jobs mostly clothes that have a few holes in them and from the salvation army

lets hope that no one dares to harm the ones that i have vowed to protect for the time being because i would kill them with no hesitation
