Chapter 7: Peter's Secret Pt 2

The day came when Peter was ready to show his friends who he really was. He was nervous as hell. He texted Roman to come over to his place with Catalina and that it was important. Roman was a little bit worried about his friend.

"We gotta go to Peter's house, it's important."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know." She got up from her bed, put on a sweater, and left with her brother. They arrived worried about Peter wondering if he was ok. Roman knocked on the door. They were greeted by a nervous Peter.

"You ok?" Catalina asked.

"We need to talk. Come in." The siblings enter his trailer. "I think you guys should sit."

"What's wrong Peter", asked Catalina.

" we've been friends for a short.time.but I feel like I can trust you both with this secret..."

"What is it", asked Roman.

"How about I show you but promise me you won't tell a soul. Only my cousin Destiny and my mom know this about me."

"Promise," Roman said. Peter looked at Catalina.

"Promise", she said as well. They followed him outside along with Lynda. It was a full moon out tonight but the moon glowed around the area making it easy to see. Peter took all of his clothes making him nude.

"What the..." Roman looked confused.

"Just watch, " whispered Lynda. Peter spat on his hands and sleeked back his hair with it. Then the most disturbing thing happened. His bones cracked most abnormally. The bones moved inside of but it didn't tear off his flash. Roman was stunned. Catalina gasped. Lynda was used to this. Peter was in massive pain, he yelled and groaned. He fell to the ground while bones kept snapping and cracking. His eyes fell right out of his sockets blood dripping everywhere. Roman was now intrigued while Catalina was in disgust. He showed his face revealing blood-stained cheeks and two golden animal eyes starring back at the siblings. Peter's skin peeled off and claws were coming out of his knuckles. An animalistic growl came out from him. His teeth fell out then grew out of his canines. His fleshed completely torn off revealing a wolf. Peter completed his transformation and was now eating his old human flesh.

"That's fucking amazing." A smile spread across Roman's face. Catalina didn't say a word she was still in shock. He ran off to the woods. From a distance, they heard a howl.

"He'll be back by morning." Lynda told the duo. "Would you like to stay overnight and wait for him?"

"Sure", Catalina replied. Roman and Catalina sat on the couch while Lynda was in the kitchen.

"He is definitely a suspect." Roman muttered.

"I hate to admit this but you're right."

"Who's a suspect?", Lynda heard them. They were silent but Catalina came clean.

"We saw paw prints at the stripper's murder scene and we assumed..."

"Peter might've killed the girl." Roman finished.

"My son doesn't hunt people only animals. That night when the girl was killed it wasn't a full moon. Those paw prints you saw were a vicious werewolf that is sick. You know what we call those diseased werewolves. Vargulf. They turn whenever they want and kill whoever they want. They are usually white with very bright colored eyes." This new information helped them a lot.

"We're sorry that we assumed Peter was the killer", Catalina said sincerely.

"It's ok", she had a smile. It was a long night and Catalina was ready to go to sleep.

"You can sleep in Peter's room if you like", Lynda offered.

"Thank you", replied Catalina. "Good night everyone."

"Good night", Roman and Lynda said at the same time. Roman was tired as well so he too went to sleep on the couch. Early morning came and Peter was back to being human. Lynda heard the door opened and she was prepared to cover her son with a blanket. She gave him a glass of water and was making breakfast. The smell of bacon woke up both Roman and Catalina. She came out of the bedroom while her brother opened his eyes.

"Would you like some breakfast," Lynda asked the siblings.

"We have to go home and get ready for school but thank you for the offer."

"I'll take two bacon, please, " said Roman. Lynda handed him two bacon and he replied with a thank you. They left Peter's trailer like none of the event happened last night.

"Here", Roman gave his sister a bacon.

"Thanks." When they arrived home. Olivia was at the front door furious. Roman opened the door receiving a slap on his face. She didn't need to be physical with Catalina because she knew her daughter feared her and that was enough for Olivia.

"Where have you been!?" She looked at Catalina and Roman. They were both silent. She waited for them to answer but none of them said anything. "If you're not going to answer then get ready for school!" They both headed to their rooms. Roman was angry that his mother had the nerves to do that to him. He got ready and left the room with anger on his face. Catalina got out of her room the same time Roman did. She gently caressed the cheek that their mother slapped. His face softened therefore made him calm down.

"Thank you", he gave her a warm smile. Catalina smiled back.
