After James Romulus left, the day
seemed to fly by for everyone but Nate.
Nate began to worry about what would
happen if he transformed in front of all
the other team members.
No, he thought, I'll just go to my room,
lock the door, and hopefully no one will
notice.
The rest of the day was a blur. Nate ate
barely anything for lunch, even though
he was hungry. Aaron had asked Nate
several times throughout the afternoon
to play a game of cards. Nate didn't reply
back.
Dinner went by as slow as lunch. As Nate
headed up to his room to prepare for the
transformation, Jamie asked "Hey, what
are you doing? Going to bed early?"
Nate replied saying "Yeah."
As Nate entered his room, he locked the
door behind him. Eager, Nate looked out
of the window at the setting sun.
Here we go, Nate thought.
As soon as the sun set below the
horizon, Nate began to feel the effects of
the transformation starting.
At first, Nate couldn't see it, but his eyes
were starting to blaze a luminous yellow
Then he felt his canines quickly sharpen
into fangs. The next few minutes were
very fuzzy to him. But if anyone was
watching, they would have seen him tear
off his shirt, revealing bulging muscle
and dark brown fur growing all over his
body. He tried to take off the rest of his
clothes but was too late. His pants tore
revealing more muscle and fur. His nails
transformed into long, sharp claws. His
hands and feet acquired black, leathery
pads, forming his paws. Then, his face
shifted forward into a muzzle and his
ears migrated to the top of his head. His
transformation from ordinary Nate to
wolfman Nate was complete. Happier
than ever, he gave off a loud howl and
ran off to the forest.
Meanwhile, all the team members
downstairs heard the howl and ran up to
Nate's room.
"Nate, you in there?" asked Aaron.
No answer.
Silence consumed the hallway until Jamie
broke the silence.
"Where did he go?"
