Changes

Chapter Three: We've Been Missing Long Before

Olive green eyes slowly opened and the sound of water dripping and running echoed through small, circular walls. A damp, sour smell filled the air and Tristan groaned and tried to breathe through his mouth. He tasted blood in his mouth; had he passed out and fallen down into that ditch and bitten his tongue? He slowly sat up and looked around. No, he wasn't in the ditch anymore; he was in the pipes leading to the ditch. He had his partially torn clothes next to him, and he was covered with dirt and almost dried blood. His stomach felt strangely full. What had happened to him? The last he remembered was standing next to that ditch....

Slowly he remembered the dog. It hadn't had a tail, that was strange...and it had screamed. And then he remembered a movie he had seen once about werewolves, where the werewolf didn't remember doing what he had done when morning came. And they were always covered in blood and dirt and...oh, shit.

"I'm a werewolf...I can't believe it...this can't be happening, this can't be happening!" the brunette gasped, his voice raspy and his throat sore. He shivered; it was cold without his clothes on. He looked through the pile of cloth and found the only wearable clothing to be his jeans. He quickly pulled them on and curled up into a tight ball. This could not be happening...he repeated those words over and over to himself. This just had to be a bad dream...but it was real.

'I can't go home now...' he thought. 'I'd hurt everyone...' The boy whimpered and began to cry.

"For our top story, the full moon murders have begun again, this time the victims seem to be half eaten. Police are beginning to think a wild animal is loose in the city, so if at all possible, stay indoors at night and don't walk home alone. In other news, a local high school boy has turned up missing. Tristan Taylor vanished last night--"

"Tristan?!" Yugi yelped, and Joey nearly spat out his orange juice. Joey had showed up that morning for breakfast since the stove at their house was broken and his father was too drunk to call a repairman. They watched and listened closely.

"If anyone has any information on where he might be, contact this number on the screen." The number with a picture of Tristan above it appeared and Yugi slowly turned to Joey.

"Tristan's gone?"

"D'ya think that thing...got 'im?"

"I hope not!" Yugi shuddered at the thought of one of his best friends killed and....half eaten by some wild creature. It was too disturbing to think of... "Let's go find Téa and Bakura and see if they've heard anything..."

"Yeah..." the blonde replied, and they both slowly stood up and walked out the door, quickly saying goodbye to Yugi's grandfather.

"We haven't seen him, either. Where could he have gone?" Téa sighed, looking very worried. Bakura looked frightened and stayed silent. How could this have happened? And he'd thought it was such a peaceful town, too...

"Well, he's got no family problems or anythin', and he just got back from the hospital, so you'd think he'd stick close ta home..." Joey stated softly.

"That might be it! They said he went out for a walk in the park, and maybe he had a relapse and passed out somewhere! We need to find him now!" Yugi exclaimed, and the agreement was unanimous.
