I think we all have to fight the werewolf within us somehow. - William Kempe
Buck sighed what felt like the millionth sigh in the past week and a half. Letting his eyes wander over to the figure lying in the hospital bed, it was easy to see why the moustached man was troubled.
JD Dunne and Casey Wells had been discovered by a police cruiser at Centennial Park. The police had been patrolling nearby investigating rumours of unruly teenagers upsetting the atmosphere late at night when they had stumbled upon the scene.
Casey dead and ravaged by what looked like some huge creature, the police officers only saw some sort of shape bound off into the trees.
JD’s shoulder ended up as a chew toy and had sprained his ankle and other arm, which Buck figured had healed up by now.
But his teammate, his friend - no his brother, still hadn’t woken up.
The doctors were spouting some sort of bullshit about trauma and what he saw might’ve sent him fleeing into his own head to heal or hide, but Buck knew JD wasn’t a quitter and could only hope the kid woke up soon and explain what happened.
~~~
It was dark and the full moon hung ominously in the night sky.
The smell of pine and fresh air tickled JD’s nose as he raced through the woods. Feet pounding on the dirt ground, air being sucked in greedily through his nose and exhaled through his mouth as he tried to escape what was chasing him.
He risked a glance back and then cried out as he hit the ground hard.
An exposed tree root had ended up tripping him when he glanced to the side.
Heavy breathing along his left ear alerted JD to the fact that what was chasing him had now caught up.
“You need to get up, JD.”
Casey?
“You need to escape, don’t let it take you over!”
JD tried to move, to see where Casey’s voice was coming from, anything. But the creature had him pinned, belly down in the dirt. But a spark of hope ignited in his chest. Casey wasn’t dead! She was still alive somehow.
“Oh, JD, you couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Whatever JD might’ve thought or said was lost as the thing bit savagely into JD’s shoulder, which caused JD to bring his head up and then scream in horror and in pain.
Casey was a few feet away from him, but she was heavily mutilated. Long, deep gouges across her cheek and upper torso had JD seeing bone and partial organs.
“Cas...ey...” JD choked out.
“I told you to escape,” Casey brokenly whispered.
Whatever else she might’ve said to JD was lost on deaf ears as the beast tore savagely into his back with its claws and howled out its triumph.
A mock cry of the creature’s howl escaped JD’s lips as he felt the pain being inflicted upon his body and his eyes flashed amber.
~~~
Buck sighed as he watched the coffee pour from the vending machines’ small tube into a Styrofoam cup. Rubbing a hand over his face, he winced as he realized his moustache was growing into a beard.
He needed to shave at some point.
It also hit close to home how long he’d been staying in the hospital watching over JD. Only barely pausing to eat and sleep. He could only imagine what Chris was saying to Director Travis about him missing so much work.
The boys would appear at random times, but they would visit at least once a day.
Grabbing the coffee cup, Buck took a long sip and then started the walk back to JD’s room.
A few nurses rushed past him, nearly making him lose his grip on the cup, when a sinking feeling entered his stomach. It looked like they were heading towards JD’s room.
But there was nothing announced on the PA system. Buck thought worriedly and quickened his stride.
That’s when he heard the screaming.
The coffee cup slipped from his hand and hit the floor, liquid splattering everywhere as Buck broke out in a dead run towards JD’s room.
Buck hit the frame of the doorway as he skidded to a stop and watched the chaos unfold before him.
“CASEY!!!”
JD was awake, but he was panicking.
Orderlies were holding down a screaming JD as he tried to escape their grip. A doctor was ordering some kind of sedative, Buck wasn’t sure what kind, just knew that it would knock the kid out.
“CASEY!!! WHERE’S CASEY?” JD screamed as he tried to escape.
That’s when the restraints came out.
“HEY!” Buck yelled and strode forward, intent on stopping the nurses and orderlies from strapping his friend down.
“Mr. Wilmington!” one of the nurses snapped at the older man. “It’s necessary; we don’t want him to hurt himself.”
“Let me talk to him, try and calm him down,” Buck pleaded as he tried to get around the nurse.
The nurse pursed her lips and eyed Buck, then nodded her consent.
Slipping around the older woman, Buck calmly approached the bed and managed to snag an arm and then cupped his hand around JD’s neck.
“JD,” Buck ordered. “Look at me.”
Wild, confused hazel eyes snapped towards the voice and JD’s body sagged back down into the bed, no longer fighting the orderlies that held him in place, but still tense in case he needed to escape.
“Buck?”
“Yeah, it’s me pard,” Buck soothed. “Need to calm down there before you hurt yourself there.”
“Casey? Where’s Casey?” JD asked as he looked around the room frantically. “There was something and then she was in front of me and then she wasn’t and WHERE IS SHE BUCK?” came the last part screamed out.
“Shh, shhhh,” Buck whispered as he massaged the tense muscles in JD’s neck. “Calm down first and then I’ll tell ya.”
JD tried to listen to the voice that hadn’t let him down before, but everything felt too bright and too loud and the smells, it made him want to gag.
“Nonononono,” JD moaned, tossing his head from side to side and began fighting the hands holding him once again.
“JD!” Buck barked out, trying to get JD to listen to him. But he didn’t and continued thrashing against the orderlies and Buck, calling out desperately for Casey.
The fight suddenly left JD as he sagged and his eyes fluttered close. The doctor pulled the needle from the IV line and sighed in relief.
Buck was a jumble of emotions as he watched the orderlies rearrange JD’s body and then placed the restraints on the wrists and ankles.
“Are those really necessary, doc?”
“I’m afraid so, Mr. Wilmington,” the doctor replied. “We want to make sure when he wakes up again, he doesn’t try to hurt himself or anyone else. When it looks like he’s fully here with us, we’ll remove them.” He gently patted Buck on the shoulder. “But he’s woken up, this is a good thing.”
“But he was hollering and screaming his lungs out,” Buck protested.
“It looks like it was just a case of confusion, when he wakes up from the sedative we’ll do more thorough tests. But please remember Mr. Wilmington, he did just survive a very traumatic event. JD is very lucky he’s alive.”
“I know,” Came the mumbled reply.
“The sedative was light, he should wake up again in a couple of hours,” was the reassurance the doctor tried to offer.
Nodding that he understood, he watched as the nurses, orderlies and doctor leave the room and Buck took up his customary seat by JD’s bed.
“Oh kiddo,” Buck sighed as he ran a hand down his face. “You’re going to make me go prematurely grey here.”
Pulling out his cell phone, Buck began to make the phone call to the boys to let them know that JD had woken up.
