It had been 2 months since Damon ended up trapped in the zoo. He was adjusting well now that he gave up on trying to escape. It was about 3 am when Damon was awaken by someone yelling in Werespeak (which just sounds like animal sounds to non-weres). He got up & saw a crow land near him. To Damon's surprise the crow grew, it's wings became arms & crude feathered hands as it took on a crude anthro shape. It became an anthro crow. No doubt in his mind she (he could tell by scent) was a werecrow. `Hello Blaze.` She said to Damon nicely in Werespeak. Blaze was what the zoo staff named Damon; he kinda likes the name. So he finally decided to start going by Blaze now.`You were spotted on security camera changing.` Blaze informed her (also in Werespeak). The werecrow informed him `Those cameras don't actually work. And their are no need for them with us in the zoo.` Blaze confused now asked `Us?` The crow answered `Wereanimals.` `There's more of us?`He asked surprised. The crow nodded with a `But none of the staff know some of us animals are wereanimals; or even the existence of what we are. Only the zoo owner knows because most of us made an agreement with him to live here as animals at this zoo.` Blaze looked back at the other kangaroos & before he could ask the crow told him `You're the only Werekangaroo here.` Somehow that made him glad. `So is all the other animals here are wereanimals like us?` He asked curious.`No. Only a few are Blaze. Most are normal animals.`the crow answered.`So why after all this time reveal this to me?` Blaze asked puzzled. `To give you a choice.` The crow answered. `What choice?` He asked wondering. `I could help you leave or you could stay here as one of the zoo's kangaroos forever.` She told him. `I already decided to stay here as a kangaroo sense I mated with one.` He informed her. The crow would of smiled pleased hearing that if her beak would of allowed smiling. `Well a few here wereanimals like to get together every 3rd Saturday of the month at 11:00 pm in the staff room to play cards & hang out. You're welcome to join them time if you wish. Just have someone let you out of your enclosure.` The crow offered. He thought about that & said `I might.` The crow shifted her arms & hands back into wings & shrunk back into a feral crow form. `The only rules for living here are:
Never ever amuse your human form ever. Anthro form is furthest you're ever allowed to go.
Never shift forms while the zoo is open or during daylight hours. Infact never be out of your feral form during daylight hours or while the zoo is open. Or before 11:00 pm.
Never reveal to any human what you really are. So never be in your anthro form in sight of humans ever.
Don't act smarter than the animal you are around any human.
Never wear anything ever. Expect for anything a zoo staff member may put on you; & in that case never ever remove it.
And lastly be back in your enclosure before opening of the zoo & in feral form before opening. `Blaze said `I'll follow all those rules. And by the way I don't got a anthro form; I won't ever be shifting forms. All I have is this feral kangaroo form & my human form.` `Great. See you around.` The crow said pleased. The crow went to flap her wings & Blaze finally asked `What's your name by the way? And why amuse your anthro form? You can Werespeak in your feral form, don't you know.` The crow answered `For starters I gave up my name years ago when I decided to live life as crow 24/7. And so you'd believe me when I told you that I am a wereanimal like you & about the others. Frankly this is the first time in years I've come out of my feral form; & likely the last time ever. I stay in my feral crow form all the time.` Blaze asked the crow curious `So when did you make the agreement with the zoo owner about living here as one of the animals?` The crow laughed `Never.' Now very confused he asked `What?` The crow answered`He doesn't know I'm a werecrow; no human does. Actually almost no wereanimal knows. Almost every wereanimal here thinks I'm just a normal crow. You're one of the few wereanimals that I ever spoke to & revealed my secret to. And I wish to keep it that way. Frankly I just showed up here one day as a crow & stayed.` Blaze believing she has her reasons for this told her `I won't tell anyone you're a wereanimal or even tell anyone we even spoke.` The crow pleased replied `Thank you.` and spread her wings. `And please don't tell anyone that I'm not a normal kangaroo. I want to be to the one to reveal I'm a wereanimal to others; if I so choose to.` The crow replied `As long as you keep my secret I won't reveal your secret to anyone.` And with that the crow took flight & flew off. [So some of animals here are wereanimals too. Should I reveal I am a wereanimal too to them? Do I even want anyone knows I'm not a normal kangaroo but a Werekangaroo?] Blaze thought. Blaze did remember he can't get out of the kangaroo enclosure. Someone would have to let him out if he ever wanted to leave it.
