Carlos wandered through the forest. He knew he’d seen a cave somewhere – it looked like an old bear cave, though he hadn’t gone in it before. He wanted to be as far away from his camp and the summer camps, in case the children had an idea to wander around at night to hunt for snipes. The full moon would make visibility perfect for it, so it was a reasonable concern in Carlos’ mind.
He finally came across the cave he was looking for. And not too soon either – the moon would rise probably within the next ten minutes. Carlos ventured forth, holding his flashlight up to search the inside of the cave. Hopefully it was empty. Could a werewolf beat a bear? Maybe?
he looked down at and shifted his paws, unsure how to feel about this
Carlos’ tail stopped moving. Right…
I’m… not going to be like this in the morning, Carlos said. A wolf, I mean. I know you probably don’t like human adults so… I wanted to get out of your fur before then.
And risk being discovered by the children or the counselors, if any of them decided to go for a midnight walk.
‘You.. You Still Don’t Have To Go, Things Are Just.. Different Now’ he looked up at the other, hoping he would somehow get what he was trying to say
Carlos looked at him. I don’t exactly see how… I’m a human. I have been the entire time. I just… have a condition, that makes me look not that way.
‘Well.. You’ll Just Have To Not Kill Me In My Sleep’ he tiredly layed his head down
You’re worried about me killing you?? Carlos asked incredulously.
‘I’m Worried Anyone Trying To Kill Me, It’s Nothing Personal’
Carlos was quiet for a second. I guess I could say the same. I thought you would’ve gone after me. Nothing personal, though… it was just a worry I had as well.
‘I Think People Think I’m Mean Cause I’m So Big..’ he yawned ‘But I’m Only Mean When I Have To Be’
Carlos nodded. Yeah… it’s why I worried when you were getting close to the camp. My kid’s there, so… you know.
‘Yeah I Know..’ he glanced out of the cave, the world seemed so quiet
Carlos was silent for a moment.
So, um… yeah, he said finally. Then Carlos lay down with his head sitting on top of his pants. So… if you see a human here in the morning, then it’s probably me. But then Carlos looked over at the other creature. I mean… if you want me to stay. If not, then let me know and I’ll…
‘It’s Too Late To Think About Going Somewhere Else, It’s Best To Rest Now While We Still Have The Night, Right?’ he lifted his head to look at the other, wings twitching slightly
Carlos’ ears perked. He would have smiled if he could. That sounds great. I, uh… appreciate this. I just didn’t want to scare the children, you know? They haven’t seen me like this before, so…
‘I Wouldn’t Worry To Much, The Kids Here Are Stronger Then They Seem’ he yawned and stretched out
Carlos just hummed and shut his eyes. He curled up against his clothes and let out a long sigh. He was pretty tired.
