Phil quickly led Dan into the Shamans home and laid him on the couch

"So what happened to him?" She asked

Dan groaned in pain as he swiveled his head back and fourth

"This might sound crazy... But he was cut by a silver plant" Phil said

The lady walked over to Dan and examined his cut and sure enough there was still a thorn inside

"But the silver plant only causes werewolves this must pain" the lady said she got wide eyed and looked up at Phil

"Your buddy here's a werewolf?" She asked

He nodded

"Yanma helped me when I was sick I thought maybe one of her descendants could do the same for my friend" Phil looked at the lady

"Yanma was my grandma she lived back in the 1800's, how did she help you, you only look to be 29" she said

"Looks can be deceiving, my name is Phil and I am the prince of Transylvania, nice to meet you"

The lady got wide eyed

"That must make you the vampire I've read in books, Prince Philip born to the ruthless Vlad Dracul bloodline"

Phil chuckled

As Phil and the woman talked Dan groaned in pain, he gripped the seat
as sweat started to drip down his temple, his finger nails began to bleed as they started to grow into claws

"Phil!" Dan yelled as his ears began to elongate

Phil and the lady looked back at Dan, freaking out.

"Yep, he's a werewolf alright" she said looking at Phil

She then turned to her medicine cabinet, she took out a needle, ran over to the transforming boy and injected it into his vein, he finally closed his eyes and took a sigh of relief

"What did that do?" Phil asked

"It stopped his transformation long enough for me to take the thorn out of his skin"

She took Dan's hands and slowly dug them out of the couch, she examined his hands and claws, there was still blood underneath his nails.

"Wow he truly is a werewolf, what's his name?" She asked looking at Phil

"Dan, Dan Howell" Phil said

The lady looked at Dan's wolf like ears and started to massage them, Dan smiled in his sleep

I'm Lyra by the way" she said to Phil as she went over to her cabinet and pulled out tweezers, cotton and this jar of liquid called moon juice.

Lyra walked over to Dan and pulled a stool up so she could sit on it and work

"So how long as Dan been a werewolf?" Lyra asked

"All his life, but he didn't find out until his 21st bday, which was this month"

"So he's basically been a werewolf for a couple of weeks" Lyra said

Phil nodded as Lyra pulled the thorn from Dan's exposing flesh

"His first transformation was on his birthday, he's been transforming a lot lately even when it's not a full moon" Phil said

"That typical of a werewolf his age, they'll transform at different times even when there's no moon like when they get nervous or angry, there too young to deal with all this at particular times, we may seem him as a grown man, but to the werewolf community since his first transformation was a couple of weeks ago he's still considered a puppy"

Phil looked at Dan sleeping soundly on the couch, he could see Dan's chest go up and down with each breath he took

Lyra put some moon juice on the cut and watched it close up, Dan's nails and ears started to go back to normal, also Dan was moving his jaw a lot, his fangs were probably growing back into his gums.

"Poor guy, having to deal with all the pain, it must be horrible" she looked back at Phil" Dan's a weird case I guess you could say, when a born werewolf turns 13 that's when he/she have their first transformation, Dan didn't have his until he was 21, I guess his parents kept this a secret from him"

Phil nodded

"His dad is a werewolf, I guess he didn't want Dan to go through what he has to go through"

Lyra stood up and put up her equipment

"That's understandable no father wants to see his child go through all that pain at such a young age, but Dan's father has just made everything worse for his son"

Phil sat down

"That's the reason Dan's been having these random transformations, whether it be from anger, nerves or the moon, Dan's got 8 years of build up that's trying to get out of his system, and that my friend is a lot of build up"

Phil sighed and scratched his head

"Being a werewolf must be so hard, I bet he hasn't had a decent night sleep in a long time, those nightmares must be brutal" Lyra said

Phil looked at her in confusion

"Nightmares?" Phil asked

"Yeah, werewolves sometimes have nightmares which causes major insomnia" Lyra said looking at Dan smiling in his sleep

Lyra smiled back

"Wow I never realized Dan had it so hard, my problems are nothing compared to his" Phil said

"I understand how you feel, but being a Vampire isn't a walk in the sunshine either, you have some things that could put you in the position Dan is in right now" Lyra said

"Yeah, but I'm over 200 years old, I know what to keep away from" Phil said fiddling with his fingers.

"Come on leave Dan to rest, this might be one the only deep sleep he has in a while"

Phil got up and followed Lyra out of there

"I wish I could take the pain away Dan, I wish I could be the werewolf"

Phil got wide eyed as a smile creeped across his face
