The Cursed Mutt (Bitten fanfiction)

Chapter 66: The Others

Jeremy returns to the treehouse with his clothes in his mouth. He changes back into his human form and takes a shower to clean the blood off. Once he was done and dried off, he realizes his clothes were full of dirt and slobber

Jeremy: Great

He goes over to his bag and opens it, letting out a sigh since he didn't pack enough clothes to last him for the next three days. He had one set of clothes, his hoodie, and his dirty ones

Jeremy: Well that's just fucking awesome

He takes the set of clothes from his bag and gets dressed. He looks at his shades

Jeremy: Well at least the sun doesn't blind me here so I won't have to worry about putting those on... for now

Jeremy's wolf: So...

Jeremy: Yes?

Jeremy's wolf: Those kids are just going to help us?

Jeremy: I guess. They seem to be good if they're willing to. If you had killed them, then we'd be in a lot of trouble with the leaders from the other areas

Jeremy's wolf: Yeah, you're right about that. I bet they taste delicious though

Jeremy: Knock it off. Play nice for once

His wolf let's out a growl. Jeremy rolls his eyes. He walks over to the door where he suddenly sees the two teens standing and staring at him, making him jump

Jeremy: Oh shit! You scared the hell out of me. How is it that I can't sense or smell you?

Onyx: Masking. Master Xata made our kind as Hunter Birds. We can share this with others to keep them safe. When my kind was born, we gave out a scent that made wild life hunt us like chickens

Jeremy's wolf: Mmmm chicken

Jeremy mumbles "quiet"

Onyx: However, mama bird masked is to keep our scent safe

Jeremy's wolf: That's really stu...

Jeremy: That's really interesting. So what area are we going to?

Jasper held out her hand to sign. Onyx looks at her to interpret

Onyx: I can take you to Mr. Skins in Bird Village. He's a taxidermist. Creepy name, I know but he has hell of a lot of stories to tell you if you're ever interested. His assistant Quiver can translate for you

Jeremy: Mr Skins huh? Thank you for telling me about him and his assistant. Let's head over there then

Jasper and Onyx nod then jump off the treehouse and onto the ground as Jeremy follows them into the woods. They start to lead him to the city, their home. As they're walking, Jeremy sees a large fallen tree. It had been carved in the inside to look like a bridge

Jeremy: Was this always here?

Onyx: Yes. This used to be the old garden tree. It fell a long time ago. The roots from the tree grew old and died so we made a bridge. Now, we have a reason to use it. This place used to be a tall mountain with sharp rocks and heavy storms. It was a ruin landscape for Master Xata to be the mighty Cthulhu. It would bring us here to hear her loud roars to calm us all

Jeremy: Her roars calm the village?

Onyx: Yes. It makes our wind chimes move with her roar that calls us to the peace. Anyways back to the beginning of our conversation when we first met

Jeremy gets a confused look on his face

Jeremy: Huh?

Onyx: What are you doing here? How were you made? May we ask your name sir?
