Seeing that the threat was over, Brandon walked up to Rick and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, trying to comfort the confused Rick.
"Are you alright Rick?"
"Um... I am not sure Brandon... what happened, why am I in tattered clothes and why can't I remember what I was even doing in the yard?"
"Well... if I told you what happened, I don't think you would even believe me."
"It would be better to hear whatever you think I wont believe, than simply not knowing at all... even if it might be crazy."
"Alright, well... you turned into a werewolf and you tried your best to attack me."
"You know, you were right not to want to tell me, that sounds very hard to believe. However, I will trust you because I know that you wouldn't mess with me on that level. Do you know what I was doing before I turned into a werewolf?"
"Yeah, you were downstairs in the basement working on something. Then you came up to see me and started yelling at me because of my loud and distracting music. Then you changed into a werewolf right before my eyes! To be honest, I think it was pretty cool, even though I ended up having to run for my life."
As they crossed the threshold of the house, Rick closed and locked the door behind them, placing the chain on the door as well as ensuring that the deadbolt was also fastened.
"I think you should help me back down to the basement so I can really see what happened."
"Do you really think that is wise? I mean, you could turn into a werewolf again!"
"I need to know what happened Brandon and so what if I turn into a werewolf again? You said it was cool and besides, if whatever down there that turned me into a werewolf, wouldn't you think it would be safe to assume that it would have the same affect on you?"
"Yeah, I guess you are right Rick. Besides, I think it would be awesome if we both became a werewolf!"
As Brandon helped Rick down into the basement, he could smell something in the air. The further they went into the basement, the stronger the smell became. Now down at the floor of the basement, Brandon walked further into the room, without noticing Rick hanging out at the foot of the staircase. Brandon continued into the room, walking over to the table, not even noticing slight changes to his physical self. Brandon looked around and saw that Rick was no where near him, but he was at the stairs. Before he could say anything, he watched Rick walk toward him, changed completely into the werewolf again. As Brandon stood there, waiting for Rick, he realized something was different about Rick. He was no longer scared of the werewolf, in fact he was slightly turned on by it.
In a deeper voice, Rick spoke which shocked Brandon slightly. "Brandon, I knew you would like it if you just gave it a chance! I am sorry that I had to trick you into coming down here, but you should be glad that you did! I can see that you are already changing, becoming something bigger and better than your old self. Tell me... do you like how you feel?"
