Damon paced around the cave. He could feel the time was near in every bone as he watched the sun begin to set. He began to strip off his clothes and folding them neatly and placing them on a rock at the back of the cave. He slipped off his sneakers and set them next to his clothes. No sooner did he do it then he felt the first changes start. He cried out, spinning around towards the opening of the cave and falling to his knees. No matter how many times this happened, and it had only been a few for the young man, it was still painful. His skin felt like it was on fire as coarse hairs started to grow all over into a dense fur as his body began reshaping itself. He felt his teeth grow out into fangs and watched as his thin fingernails split open as thick, sharp claws grew out. His feet grew and reformed into large, digitigrade paws. His transformation completed as his face slowly pushed out into a lupine snout as Damon's cries turned to snarls and boy transformed to beast.
The werewolf Damon rose to his feet and slowly walked out of the cave into the cool night air. He sniffed the air and slowly walked through the woods. The transformation had taken a lot out of him and he was hungry. He moved through the woods, trying to be as quiet as possible when he came across the sight of a young man, not much older than he was. The beast didn't recognize the young man, but Damon would have as a classmate of his, Nate. The young man had his arms full of recently acquired firewood and was making his way back to his campsite.
The werewolf quickly ran towards Nate and leapt on top of him before the young man had a chance to react. The werewolf Damon sank his large, sharp fangs in Nate's shoulder. Nate cried out in pain as he felt the teeth sink into his flesh. He reached out and grabbed one of the sticks of firewood that had scattered in front of him and started hitting the beast with it repeatedly. The werewolf quickly let go and Nate continued to beat it until the monster vanished back into the dark woods.
Nate ran back to the campsite as quickly as he could, bursting out of the woods and surprising his mother and father, who were both seated by the campfire. They took one look at their son and shot up in panic, rushing over to him.
"Oh my god, what happened to you!" asked his mother.
"Something bit me in those woods! Attacked me! Some animal. We need to leave now. It might have followed me." Nate's voice quivered a bit, showing the panic he was feeling.
"Yes, we need to get you to a hospital," replied Nate's Dad. "Everyone get in the car"
"What about our stuff?" asked Nate's Mom.
"It'll be fine. We need to get Nate to a Doctor now."
All three of them climbed into the family SUV, Nate wrapping a towel over the wound in an attempt to keep from bleeding all over everything. From the darkness, the werewolf watched as the SUV left the campsite before heading back into the woods in search of new prey.
