Book 2 (Pt. 9)

Sam: (Stressed) How’d she know I was a werewolf?! (Has his shirt off because of the heat)

Dadachi: (Laying down on his bed; they are back at the treehouse) Beats me. Maybe it’s like you said: “The ears gave it away”.

Sam: If she knows that much about my curse, she might be stronger than expected.

Dadachi: You couldn’t tell?

Sam: I didn’t feel anything. *sigh* Well at least we know she’s our girl. You said you found her hide-out?

Dadachi: Yeah. (Sits up) It’s this huge red mansion right in the middle of town. She has some kind of barrier spell placed around it.

Sam: That shouldn’t be too much of a problem. What about those guys?

Dadachi: I’m not sure. They seem to be protecting the place. When I tried to walk around the side of the house, they jumped out at me. That’s when you called.

Sam: Wow, you attract trouble, don’t you?

Dadachi: Can’t help it.

Sam: Please, just try not to get into any more fights. It really isn’t good for either of us.

Dadachi: It’s not my fault everyone wants to fight me. Women love me but men want me dead. (Grinning)

Sam: The women in this town do not ‘love’ you.

Dadachi: I saved a kitten from a tree earlier today.

Sam: Alright, now I KNOW you’re doing it on purpose. (Aside) He’s freaking skillful at it too…

Dadachi: They like us both. Now, those cat-ears really make you a chick-magnet. Girls absolutely adore you.

Sam: That’s why Cyan doesn’t like it when other women flirt with me. Women find me irresistible… (He rolls his eyes and plops down into a chair)

Dadachi: I’ve always wondered why you have cat ears and you’re a werewolf.

Sam: I guess cat and wolf ears look alike. Wait, didn’t you ask me this like last month?

Dadachi: Probably. I ask you a lot.

Sam: (Pause) Day.

Dadachi: Yup?

Sam: The full moon is in two days…

Dadachi: You’re having trouble holding back?

Sam: We have to solve this quickly so we can get back home. The last thing I want to do is turn while we’re still here.

Dadachi: Right. We can go find the girl tomorrow. Right now… (He stands) You have something you need to do. (Sam looks at him; tapping the side of his neck) I’m your comfort too unless you forgot.

Sam: (Quietly) No… I didn’t forget. (He stands then walks over to Dadachi) *sigh* I’m not going to like this.

Dadachi: Neither am I, but I can’t afford any more scars on my hand and I DAMN sure ain’t cutting my neck. (Sam rolls his eyes then puts his hands on Dadachi’s shoulders; he closes his eyes. Dadachi inhales as Sam leans in and to his right; Sam bites down, causing Dadachi to clench his fists) I almost forgot how much this hurts.

Sam: (Still on Dadachi’s neck) Sowwy… (He continues; Dadachi starts to go limp after a while)

Dadachi: I can’t stand up too much longer.

Sam: Jeez, I’m not done yet… (He steps back) Fine. Lie down… (Dadachi does just before he goes completely limp)

Dadachi: God, I really hate the side effects of this. Cyan must get a kick out of being completely helpless against you when you bite her.

Sam: (Moody) That’s not funny!... (He groans in disdain then climbs on top of Dadachi) PLEASE don’t mention this to anyone.

Dadachi: I won’t. I’m not liking this any more than you are. (Sam starts biting again) (After about a minute, they’re both blushing. Sam’s lying fully on Dadachi now; still drinking his blood) This is sooooo gay!

Sam: Don’t remind me… Are you feeling dizzy?

Dadachi: A little. (He looks away) Ugh… (Aside) Jeez! Why does a werewolf’s bite have to cause pleasure!? It’s so hard not to enjoy this but it’s so weird ‘cause it’s Sam and- UGH.

Sam: You look like you’re struggling. (Pulls his teeth out) You can relax you know… I know it must be worse with you being Bi and all.

Dadachi: (Offended) Why’d you have to say it like that like that’s really the issue here? (They exchange glances) Yeah, you’re right. If I was straight, we wouldn’t even be having this problem.

Sam: It’s not like I can really complain. (Goes back to biting; Dadachi reluctantly relaxes)

Dadachi: (In his head) Damn this feels good… (Starts sweating) (Long pause; Sam’s biting harder) Agh, what’s taking you so long?

Sam: I’m trying to make sure I don’t drink you senile! If I drink any faster, it’ll KILL YOU. Just be patient; I’m almost done. (Aside) Eww, he’s got a fever and he’s sweating… I should have put my shirt back on!

Dadachi: Ouch. Not too hard Sam.

Sam: Sorry. (At that moment, Jake opens the door and looks in)

Jake: Hey Sam, Dadachi, Carren wants to s-… (They’re all staring at each other)

Sam & Dadachi: Don’t mention a damn thing to anyone!

(At the Grand Hall; Carren is standing next to a woman. Sam and Dadachi walk into the large room; Jake comes in behind them)

Carren: (Shyly) H-hi guys. Um, this is my mother, Anyato.

Anyato: Hello. I’m glad to finally meet you. Carren speaks well of you two.

Dadachi: (Still a little weak) Nice to meet you too.

Sam: (Shakes her hand) We have tried our best to fit in around here. Carren’s a really good guide. (Carren blushes)

Anyato: I heard one of you helped Carren yesterday?

Dadachi: That would be me.

Anyato: I’m eternally grateful to you. As thanks for saving Carren, the elders have decided to give you this. (She holds a wrapped stick like thing out in front of Dadachi)

Dadachi: What is this?

Anyato: It’s a fighting staff.

Sam: (Excited) A staff?

Dadachi: It’s a little small. (It’s about a foot long)

Sam: I’ve heard about these. They’re magic staffs. (He takes it into his hands and squeezes it a little; suddenly the staff’s ends shoot out causing it to lengthen to almost seven feet. The staff is actually black)

Dadachi: Is it hollow?

Sam: Nope. It’s actually pretty heavy. (He gives Dadachi the staff; he almost drops it due to its weight)

Dadachi: (To Anyato) Um, thank you very much. (Struggling to hold it up) I think I’ll let Sam keep this though. He at least knows how to use it. (Aside) I’m really weak right now… Darn it blood loss!

Sam: (Takes the staff back) Thanks. I’ve always wanted to use one of these. (He squeezes the staff again; it shortens back to a foot)

Anyato: You two are very welcome. Oh! Did you find anything while in town?

Sam: (Slightly aggravated) Yes. We found the girl, but now she knows who we are.

Carren: Is that bad?

Dadachi: Very. Now she’s going to start avoiding us.

Anyato: That IS very bad. Should we send a few of our people to help you look for her?

Sam: No. That’s probably not the best idea. She could be dangerous.

Carren: But if we send people she doesn’t know, wouldn’t it help? She may get caught off guard long enough to allow you two to make your move.

Sam: (Pause) That’s actually not a bad idea. (He looks at Dadachi; Dadachi shrugs)

Carren: If it isn’t too much trouble, I would like to help too.

Dadachi & Anyato: What!? No! It’s too dangerous!

Carren: But I’m fully capable of finding her! I’m not a child anymore mother!

Anyato: (Surprised) Carren, we only want you to be safe.

Carren: I will be safe. Sam and Dadachi will be there.

Sam: She’s right. Trust me. We won’t let anything happen to her. Besides, we’ll go tomorrow at noon. We can plan until then.

Anyato: (Exhale) Okay Carren. But please don’t do anything that will get you injured.

Carren: (Happy) Yes mama. I promise to come back safely. (She hugs her mother then runs off)

Dadachi: (Swaying) We won’t let anything else happen to your daughter.

Sam: Day, do you want to sit down? You don’t look too good.

Dadachi: No, I-I’m fine. Hey, can I see that staff real quick? (Sam gives the staff to him; it opens to full length. Dadachi uses it to steady himself) That’s better.

Anyato: Are you sure you’re alright? Here, let me get you a chair. (She walks off)

Jake: And you said he wasn’t your mate. (Shakes his head)

Sam: I wasn’t lying! (Blushing)

Jake: So what I saw wasn’t going on? (Teasing)

Sam: No! You just walked in at a bad time.

Jake: So you weren’t kissing his neck?

Sam: No, I was biting it.

Jake: …

Sam: That came out wrong.

Dadachi: Okay, listen Jake. Sam’s not gay. He has to drink blood at least every full moon or he won’t survive. Since the person he usually drinks from isn’t here, he had to use me as a substitute. It just so happens that the way he feeds is kind of homosexual for two guys.

Jake: I understand now. (Pause) What I don’t get it why you were enjoying it so much.

Dadachi: Why is that any of your business?!

Jake: Don’t get offended. I was just asking.

Sam: Fine. Werewolf bites cause pleasure. Does that answer your question?

Jake: … Yup! I just thought I‘d clear that up before I tell you something important.

Dadachi: What is it?

Jake: I was roaming around the area when I found a small cave. When I approached it, a wolf jumped out at me. (Sam starts sweating)

Sam: Do you think it was the werewolf?

Jake: Probably. It didn’t try to hurt me but it seemed angry. Most wolves don’t have human looking eyes.

Sam: He’s probably having trouble controlling himself due to the full moon… I’m starting to have trouble myself.

Jake: Do all werewolves have to turn during the full moon?

Sam: (Seriously) No. But they do have massive issues when it comes to self-control.

Dadachi: Think a drunk person, but angrier AND highly aroused.

Jake: Oh my. (The pup walks in and nudges Sam) That’s the pup…

Sam: (Suddenly very aggressive) Where did you find the cave?

Jake: I can show you if you want. Come on. (Sam picks up the pup and both Dadachi and Sam follow Jake out)

Sam: We need to find this werewolf before the full moon. If not, he may come into the village looking for his child. I may have to fight him.

Dadachi: What if it comes to that? If so, how will we be able to calm him down?

Sam: I don’t know. Cyan’s the only one who’s been able to calm me down when I turn. Without her, we’re kinda screwed.

Dadachi: So why are we going to see this guy now?!

Sam: He’s probably looking for this little guy. (Dadachi looks at the pup) If we can return him to his father, then maybe it’ll keep him from turning.

Jake: Sam, go get your shirt and put it on. The girls are staring. (As they walk by, multiple heads turn)

Sam: Oh, sorry. I forgot to put it back on before we left… (He laughs nervously)
