Ep.191 – Wolf Rage - Hair Raising Terror is Loose!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:07.360
When you grow up and move away
from your childhood home. Many of us

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.519
find that we go through changes,
very personal changes. But what if your

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:26.640
change was of the deadly, hairy, and scary variety. What's that you

4
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:39.719
want to be scared? Come with
me. You will experience tales over opera,

5
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:46.200
ghosts and death. It is not
recommended and for the weak at heart

6
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:56.240
listeners in the dark, it's more
fun that way way. This is weakly

7
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:08.680
speaking. Hello, my spookies.
It's Wednesday, and you know what that

8
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:15.040
means. It's time for a little
spooky in your weekly I'm your host and

9
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.400
narrator, Enrique Kuto, and we
have quite the fun story for you tonight.

10
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.879
And tonight's episode is dedicated to one
of our listeners, my good buddy

11
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:33.120
Dan, also known as Dan the
Wolfman. He's recovering from a minor surgery,

12
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.359
which hopefully is going very well,
and I wanted to give him a

13
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.959
little something extra to help with his
recovery. So, Dan, I hope

14
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:47.280
you're resting well and listening. I
know how much you love werewolf stories.

15
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.200
But before we get to that,
I want to say thank you so much

28
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.800
think there's a full moon arising,
and I think I hear and I think

29
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.680
I hear a howling off in the
distance, and for once, it's not

30
00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.000
my two dogs. It sounds like
it might be something a little bit more

31
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:07.080
sinister, a little bit more dangerous. So get comfortable and we'll head to

32
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:23.280
the story after these quick words from
our sponsors. Wolf Rage by Rob Fields

33
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.800
It's Friday night, and I'm out
here on the football field at Strickfield High

34
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.120
School. It wasn't too long ago. I was entertaining people in Malibu,

35
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.319
California as they watched me strut my
shit on the runway while posing in the

36
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.400
latest fashions. Now I'm strutting my
ship to the local crowds in Strickfield,

37
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.039
Ohio in a cheerleading uniform. Yeah, I was on top of the world.

38
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.680
I'd made it. I had everything, and I lost it all just

39
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:01.520
like that. My name's Danielle Boyd, which my friends usually shortened to Danny

40
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.479
boy. I left Strickfield after Junior
High was over, taking what little money

41
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.400
I had and wearing only the clothes
on my back. I was determined to

42
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.480
get away from my parents and get
to California anyway I could. I got

43
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.480
there by riding my thumb and believe
me when I say I had no problem

44
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.879
getting rides. I didn't even have
to show any of my goodies or perform

45
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.439
sexual favors. Anyway. I made
it to Malibu. Like I said,

46
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:38.639
I had very little money. I
was homeless. Here's some irony. When

47
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.040
mom and I had our last fight, she told me I'd never be able

48
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.680
to get by on my looks alone, but that's exactly what I ended up

49
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.439
doing. I wasn't homeless long before
someone from the Englewood Talent agency approached me.

50
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.199
No, I wasn't being tapped to
star in movies and damn sure not

51
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.439
porn. No I had a look
the agent was looking for. So after

52
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.279
going through all the formalities, they
didn't care. I was under age at

53
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.680
the time. I ended up posing
for magazine ads and appearing in commercials.

54
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.040
It wasn't long before I became a
runway model, posing in some really extravagant

55
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.680
fashions. I didn't become rich,
but I was making more than enough money

56
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.879
to be able to eat, have
fun, and come up with my share

57
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.079
of rent. Once I started living
with a few girls from the agency,

58
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.360
we were living in a house at
the Ocean. I had it made.

59
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.399
I really felt like I was going
to be carefree in living the good life

60
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.959
for as long as I wanted to. I always played by the rules when

61
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.399
it came to the agency. I
didn't drink or do drugs. I did

62
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.959
what was asked of me and got
paid great money. But she just knew

63
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:54.720
something was going to go horribly wrong
just looking around this football field. Now

64
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.720
I'm half naked and feeling my tits
bounce as I'm doing the routines. I'm

65
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.519
sure plenty of the male population are
checking out my ass when I bend over.

66
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:09.800
God, I fucking hate cheerleading.
Hate it. I'm only doing it

67
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:15.279
as a kind of meditation, you
see. I have some serious anger issues.

68
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.160
When the game's over, I'm in
the shower and cleaning up. Then

69
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.879
I get dressed and start walking back
to the apartment that Darla Cantrell, my

70
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.639
best friend, is sharing with me. Oh, my parents definitely know I'm

71
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.879
back. They let me know on
no uncertain terms, I'm not welcome back

72
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:42.560
home. Yeah, fuck my parents. My anger issues definitely started with them.

73
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.439
My parents are constant Bible thumpers for
the First Church of the Divine Power,

74
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.079
and just kept shoving their religion down
my throat. They'd even yell at

75
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.560
me for the stupidest shit. They'd
make me dress up in the shittiest clothes,

76
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.079
and they drag me to church as
much as possible. My parents hated

77
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.920
all the looks people gave me.
I guess I made any clothes look good,

78
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.040
and my parents accused me of being
a flirt, a slut, or

79
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.959
a harlot because of it. The
day came when they told me I was

80
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.800
going to marry the evangelist's son and
be his loyal wife. Oh that was

81
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:27.560
the last fucking straw. My anger
built up so much over the years that

82
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.439
I finally couldn't take my parents anymore
and totally lost my shit. That was

83
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.240
when I grabbed the handyman's hammer and
started smashing anything in that church I could.

84
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:44.000
I never knew I could get that
angry, but God damn did releasing

85
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.519
it just feel exhilarating. When I
finished, I walked right out of that

86
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:54.399
church and left for Malibu that very
night. When Mom told me before that

87
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.360
I'd never make it on my looks, I told her to just watch me.

88
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.480
In fact, was quick to tell
me that again when she saw I

89
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.319
was back in Strickfield. So here
I am living the poor life again.

90
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.040
But I'd rather be living the poor
life than living with my parents. I'd

91
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.079
rather live my life for me.
Do I sound selfish and conceited? Well,

92
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.839
you try living with my parents then, Speaking of whom, their van

93
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.800
just pulled up beside me. I
keep walking, but they're driving to a

94
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.560
crawl. I tell them to leave
me alone, but they keep telling me

95
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.679
I'm a Jezebel who turned her back
on God when I walked out on them.

96
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.960
Now I know they were at the
game and saw me cheerleading. I

97
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.320
keep telling them to leave me the
fuck alone, that I'm never coming back

98
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.720
home or back to their church.
Finally, Dad gets out of the van

99
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.480
and comes at me. He grabs
me and tells me they're bringing me back

100
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.720
to God if it's the last thing
they do. As I'm struggling against Dad,

101
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.159
I gasp. When I feel the
sudden surge throughout my body. I

102
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.919
scream and pull, free falling on
my ass. I quickly get up and

103
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.120
I run. I'm really hating my
parents for lighting my fuse right now.

104
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.960
I make it into an alley.
When I feel my clothes starting to get

105
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.919
tight and rip, my spine crackles
and gets long. My muscles hurt and

106
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.759
get bigger and thicker. I feel
pricklys as the first starts growing out my

107
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.600
mouth, my hands, my ears, and my feet start to elongate.

108
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:39.279
My body's even growing. When I
finish changing, I'm a big silver werewolf.

109
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.879
When Dad finally comes at me,
I glare right at him and roar.

110
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.679
I chase my dad back to his
van. Mom screams when she sees

111
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.679
me. I give her a roar. She won't soon forget. When Dad

112
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.840
gets the van going, I grab
the driver's side door and rip it off.

113
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.399
I roar at them before I throw
the door away and run after them

114
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.759
on all fours. When they make
a turn, they feel me slam against

115
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.320
the side of the van and make
it stop. I pull Dad out and

116
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.000
slam him up against the side of
the van. I roar again. Then

117
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.759
Mom comes around with a gun.
I'm so pissed at them right now.

118
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.840
We parted ways a long time ago. Just leave me the fuck alone.

119
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.639
Mom shoots me with a few silver
bullets. Oh yeah, that'll work.

120
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.320
I slap the gun out of her
hand and watch them run away. I

121
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.279
really want to tear them apart.
The more I think about it, the

122
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.240
more I decide they're not worth it. I turn and run before other people

123
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.480
can see me. Anyway. Now
you know why I had to leave Malibu

124
00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:01.000
behind. In fact, it was
there where I was cursed. Now I

125
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.840
know what you're going to ask.
Wait a minute, Danny boy, don't

126
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.759
you change only when it's a full
moon? You'd figure, I suppose I

127
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:18.879
better explain that I just finished to
follow a pictorial in Vanity Fair, followed

128
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.600
by a Runway show two months ago. I posed nude for Vanity Fair.

129
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.799
It was quite the artistic pictorial,
if I do say so myself. Today,

130
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.080
like most days, was a long
one. I was very tired and

131
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.879
wanted to go home. I was
going to get naked and go swimming in

132
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.519
the ocean out back, like I
did most every night. That or some

133
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.919
night surfing for the record. There
was a solar eclipse going on. I

134
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.320
knew my roommates would be on the
upper patio watching it. I just wanted

135
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.679
to go swimming. I took a
short cut through Malibu Bluff's Park to save

136
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.679
me ten minutes getting home. Any
other night there was no problem, but

137
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.919
not on that eclipse night. No. Something was going to happen that would

138
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.000
change my life forever. As I
walked through the park, I had that

139
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.399
strange feeling I was being watched.
I walked faster, but still had a

140
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:22.080
little ways to walk before reaching Malibu
Road. Suddenly I heard a loud growl

141
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.639
and was attacked by something big.
It crashed into me and knocked me on

142
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.639
my ass Then the thing grabbed me, and I screamed as it bit into

143
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.879
my naked shoulder and clamped down hard. The pain was unbearable and I couldn't

144
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:43.200
stop screaming. I felt blood slowly
running down my skin. I stopped screaming

145
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.679
and cried. The more I struggled, the worse the pain got. When

146
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.720
I screamed again, the monster finally
moved away from me. I think we

147
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.919
both heard voices. Something deep down
told me I didn't want those people finding

148
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.600
me. I forced myself to move
and hide in some bushes. A bunch

149
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.080
of people hurried past me, probably
looking for the thing that bit me.

150
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.039
I took my top off to push
it against my bites until I could get

151
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:18.000
home. Funny thing, I wasn't
hurting anymore. Also, my injuries healed

152
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:24.200
up fast. Deep down, I
knew shit was going to get real,

153
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.000
just a question of when, not
if. When I got home, my

154
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.320
roommates saw me and asked what happened. I lied and told them I was

155
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:39.279
daydreaming and tripped on my own feet. Yeah, they didn't believe me.

156
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.919
When I assured them I wasn't raped, they left me alone. I got

157
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.919
naked and headed out back to do
some night swimming. A few weeks later,

158
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.519
La Donna, one of my roommates, asked if i'd pick up her

159
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.519
car at the garage since I was
off. She gave me her plastic and

160
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.440
I went and got her car.
I was driving it back to the house.

161
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.320
Of course, some drunken fucktard had
run a red light and slammed into

162
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.159
me. At the same time I
heard a tire blow. I had to

163
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.519
fight to control the car, but
I still slammed into a tree. I

164
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.720
was fine thanks to the seatbelt.
However, I was trapped inside the car,

165
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.039
pinned by the steering wheel, and
worse, I couldn't open my door.

166
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.600
I got scared fast when I saw
smoke coming out from under the hood

167
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.480
and knew the engine was on fire. This car was going to explode.

168
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.559
First, I was bitten by whatever
that thing was. Now I was trapped

169
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.200
in Ladonna's car. That's two nights
in two weeks. I was in situations

170
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.279
where I felt like I was going
to die, but now I knew I

171
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.919
was completely fucked. The more I
struggled, the more I got pissed.

172
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.039
I'm not dying, not like this, I yelled. Suddenly, a powerful

173
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.799
surge seemingly shot through my body.
Screamed when I saw the whole front of

174
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.600
the car was on fire. Now
that sudden surge made me feel so weird.

175
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.080
What was happening to me? I
felt myself aching all over. I

176
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.159
heard my clothes ripping and saw my
top and booty shorts were coming apart.

177
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:24.440
And I started to feel amazingly strong. Hair was growing all over my body.

178
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.360
I felt my mouth stretching out.
My teeth were getting really sharp.

179
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.320
I could see my fingers turning into
claws. I kept changing, changing,

180
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.919
changing, I put my clawed hand
on the side of the door and pushed

181
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.759
it away. I grabbed the steering
wheel and easily broke it off. I

182
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.360
got out of the car and leaped
away from it just as it exploded.

183
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.440
I landed on my hind legs.
I looked myself over and saw I was

184
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:06.799
covered with silver fur. I looked
and felt incredibly strong. I was much

185
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.679
taller, I had claws for hands, wolf like feet, and even a

186
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:18.159
long tail. I wanted to ask
what the actual fucking fuck, but all

187
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.879
that came out was a bunch of
growls. I was attacked by a werewolf

188
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.559
and survived. So now the curse
finally caught up to me. Only there

189
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:36.360
were a few things wrong with my
particular story. One there was no full

190
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:41.240
moon. Two, I could think
for myself, not like a beast.

191
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.600
I knew my name was Danielle Boyd
and lived in Malibu, California. I

192
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.960
knew I was a fucking werewolf.
I couldn't speak as a human, but

193
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.919
I could think in English. Just
fine. I was a werewolf for the

194
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.320
rest of that night. When daylight
came, I was still aware wolf.

195
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.240
Would I be what was supposed to
be a creature of the night forever?

196
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.319
Fortunately, now, as I hid
and sat down to think, I started

197
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:22.319
to change, change, change.
I was Danielle Boyd again, and completely

198
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.880
naked. A few cops saw me
and chased me down. I lost them

199
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.440
fast. I made it home and
got inside through an open window. After

200
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:37.319
I took a shower, I got
dressed and took an uber to the agency.

201
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:45.160
And that's where things got messy.
Don't go away weekly, Spooky will

202
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:56.240
be right back. I was modeling
some new designer swimwear. The photographer,

203
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:02.279
Kendall Boswell was a real asshole who
liked biting and snapping at everyone. Kendall's

204
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.799
pissed me off many times. I'm
in this choote with Paris, my other

205
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.240
roommate, who's a very sensitive girl. Almost midway through the chute, Kendall

206
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:17.240
pushed Paris to the point where she
started to cry. I comforted Paris and

207
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.880
told Kendall to go get fucked.
He never liked when I stood up to

208
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.240
him. He quickly put the camera
down. Then he lashed out, slapped

209
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:32.559
me and told me to start knowing
my place. Oh did I ever see

210
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.920
red? And that sudden surge hit
me like lightning. Kendall got scared quick

211
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.440
and pissed his pants when he saw
me changing. I felt the pain when

212
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:47.960
I changed. Soon I was a
werewolf again, just like before. I

213
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.880
was fully aware of everything, including
the fact that I was still seeing red.

214
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:59.119
I grabbed Kendall and lifted him off
the floor. He screamed and shrieked

215
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.920
like a little girl. I wanted
to yell fuck you, but all that

216
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:08.000
came out was a loud roar.
I heard Paris scream and looked to see

217
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.759
her hands were covering her mouth and
her eyes were wide open. I dropped

218
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.440
Kendall, who got up and ran
away like his ass depended on it.

219
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.839
I turned to tell Paris not to
be scared. I just couldn't speak English,

220
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.039
only growl and snap. I held
up my clawed hands to tell Paris

221
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.400
to calm down, but she screamed
again. Then the security guards were coming.

222
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.519
I turned and escaped, running on
all fours. I crashed through a

223
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.039
window and dropped to the alley below. It was still daytime. More people

224
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.119
saw me and screamed. I turned
and ran. I kept running until I

225
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.960
got back to the house. I
crawled in through a window and sat in

226
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.640
a corner. I needed to think. As time passed, I was calming

227
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.279
down and relaxing to where I could
change back to my human form again.

228
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.759
Like before, I was completely naked, being honest, I love my body.

229
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:12.359
Before this shit happened, I'd catch
hell from Paris and LaDonna for walking

230
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.519
around the house naked. They'd really
give me hell. When I answered the

231
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.240
door naked to the pizza guys.
I didn't care. I feel free when

232
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.079
I'm naked. Besides, pizza delivery
boys know what naked females look like,

233
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:33.759
right, But seeing my nudity now
reminded me I was cursed, and I

234
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.960
cried that werewolf attacked me and passed
his shit to me. Somehow, I

235
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.960
knew deep down the were wolf that
attacked me was a normal one, not

236
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.119
capable of thinking the way I could. Also, it was during a solar

237
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.400
eclipse, which probably counted as a
full moon. The the more I thought

238
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.160
about it, the more I felt
it had to be the eclipse. How

239
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.160
else could I explain my unique perences
from regular werewolves, at least as I

240
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.440
understand them from books and movies.
I decided to find the werewolf who turned

241
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:14.359
me and tear that fucker apart.
I waited until the next full moon and

242
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.359
went back to Malibu Bluff's Park.
I hung around there and waited. Then

243
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.559
I saw I was still human,
which meant I did not change during a

244
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.400
full moon. Was being cursed under
a lunar eclipse. Really that big of

245
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:33.839
a deal shows how much I know
about things like werewolves, and I fucking

246
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.640
hate horror movies. Suddenly the monster
shot out of the bushes and attacked me.

247
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.960
After we rolled around, I got
up and faced the fucker. Oh

248
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.039
I was pissed. I mean I
was fighting mad. I gasped when the

249
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.920
powerful surge hit me, and the
other wolf watched as I changed. When

250
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.880
I was finished, I roared,
and attacked. At first, I was

251
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.000
fighting like an animal. Then I
remembered I could actually think, so I

252
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.599
used my skills that I learned on
the streets and started kicking the other werewolves

253
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.039
ass I relished every bit of this. I was going to rip that other

254
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:17.000
wolf into as many pieces as I
could. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

255
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.480
Those people showed up again, and
they had shotguns. I easily saw the

256
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.160
one leading them. He was a
big, fat hillbilly bob with a camouflage

257
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.720
vest, a hunting cap, and
a shotgun of his own. Those people

258
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.960
wasted no time, shooting first and
asking questions later. We both got shot

259
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:42.039
up with silver bullets. I didn't
even fight back. The truth was I

260
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:49.119
really didn't want this curse and no
such luck. The fucker who turned me

261
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.799
was definitely killed. In fact,
that werewolf turned back into some fuck quad

262
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:00.519
i'd never even seen before me.
I suddenly sat right up. I was

263
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.839
still a werewolf, and all the
silver bullets were popping right out of me.

264
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.519
Seriously. When I stood up,
the hunters and I had a brief

265
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:14.039
stare down before I surprised them.
I moved my hand to my shoulder and

266
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.359
acted like I was brushing dirt off
it. Then I raised both my middle

267
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.839
fingers to them and ran off to
quickly leave them behind. That was it.

268
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.200
That was the end of Malibu for
me. I couldn't stay there any

269
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.480
more, especially with those hillbilly bobs
and bessies who hunted my kind being around

270
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.400
like that. O K silver bullets
couldn't kill me, and I wasn't waiting

271
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:44.119
around for those trigger happy fuckers to
find something that would. But what hurt

272
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.519
more was that Paris was scared of
me, so I couldn't live at the

273
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.240
house with her in LaDonna any more. Plus other people had seen me change.

274
00:23:52.920 --> 00:24:00.920
My dream life in Malibu was fucked. I was fucked. After I

275
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.359
got dressed, I left my final
share of the rent on the kitchen table

276
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.119
with a note saying good bye,
and walked out for the last time.

277
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.359
All I had was the money I
had on me and the clothes on my

278
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:19.359
back. The only place I could
go was back to Strickfield. As before,

279
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:23.400
I walked and rode my thumb along
the way. I worked a few

280
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.920
odd jobs for room and board when
offered, which was how I learned about

281
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.640
working on a farm. I finally
made it back to Strickfield. There was

282
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.680
no way I was going back home, though it wouldn't matter. Some one

283
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.920
would eventually tell my parents I was
back, Like when I first got to

284
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.200
Malibu, I was all set to
live on the streets. Then my childhood

285
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.279
friend, Darla Cantrell saw me.
I kept in touch with her since leaving

286
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.240
Strickfield. She was my best friend, and I couldn't just shit on her.

287
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.960
I didn't want to tell her I
was homeless. I could never get

288
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279
at anything past Darla, though she
quickly invited me to come live with her

289
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.480
at her apartment at Strickfield Cove.
Darla was a senior at Strickfield High School.

290
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:14.039
However, she worked as a stripper
at Sexpectations, a gentleman's club just

291
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.359
a couple miles outside the village.
She really didn't care if the principle of

292
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.119
the high school found out or not. She started working as a stripper just

293
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.680
after she turned eighteen. Darla told
me she could get me a job at

294
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.720
Sexpectations. I would have liked to
have taken it, but I knew I

295
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.920
had to stay out of the limelight. Darla told me about the kinds of

296
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.000
assholes that frequent there. I didn't
need to lose my shit because of them.

297
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.440
Darla talked me into coming to school
with her. Strickfield High always has

298
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.519
open enrollment. When I was modeling
the agency I worked for, got teachers

299
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.119
for me. Since I couldn't go
to public school on account of the job,

300
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.440
I just had to get through senior
year and would do it at Strickfield

301
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.720
High. When I was enrolling,
Principal Matthew Van Deist couldn't keep his eyes

302
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.440
off of my bust line. He's
a man, so I couldn't really blame

303
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.480
him anyway. I love the attention. I quickly noticed he had his eyes

304
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:18.160
on some skinny chick named Bella Tabon, who would soon become one of my

305
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:23.279
fellow cheerleaders. So there I was
in an actual high school. It really

306
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:29.599
hurt deep inside. I missed Malibu
so much. I knew I could never

307
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:34.279
go back thanks to my curse I
had fallen from grace. I didn't know

308
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.680
how smart those hill billy bob werewolf
hunters were, but I couldn't take the

309
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.440
chance of tapping any of the money
I put in my bank account back in

310
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:48.880
California. I didn't need to bring
those fucks to Strickfield. I filled out

311
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.759
some job applications and got a night
management position at Roth's Rings, a twenty

312
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.640
four hour donut shop near the university. The pay wasn't bad and the hours

313
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:03.079
were great. Least, it was
something until I could find something better.

314
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.200
Darla talked me into going out for
the cheerleading squad. At first I didn't

315
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.960
want to. Finally I gave in
and tried out. I made the cut.

316
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.640
Darla still wasn't giving up on trying
to get me to come to work

317
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:21.799
with her at sexpectations. Come on, Danny boy, you know you wanna,

318
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.920
she says at lunchbreak. You're just
dying to show off that sizzling body

319
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.359
of yours. You always walk around
our apartment naked, So do it for

320
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.400
an appreciative audience and get paid good
for it. I shake my head.

321
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:41.559
I'll keep making donuts and shaking my
TNA on Friday nights. Thanks anyway,

322
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:47.000
Darla flashes her sexy smile. Stephen
Chase is looking at you right now.

323
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:52.440
I can tell he's carrying a torch
for you. Stephen Chase is in most

324
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.680
of my classes, including the one
I'm in now. He seems like a

325
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.480
good guy. I can tell he
wants to ask me out, but he's

326
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.640
having a hard time approaching me.
I definitely can't hide my feelings from Darla.

327
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:10.359
She knows I'm considering giving him a
chance if he asks me. But

328
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.519
dare I take that leap? How
do I explain it to him? When

329
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.720
I get pissed off and change?
And could he deal with a girl with

330
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:25.279
serious anger issues? And again I
relegate myself to playing the shy girl.

331
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.480
I just can't get romantic with anybody. There can never be a normal me

332
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.680
again. I put my hands on
my forehead and groan. Suddenly, mister

333
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.920
Scott Sanborn is on me and points
right at me. Since you seem to

334
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.079
think my lecture's boring, you can
take over and explain the problem on the

335
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.720
board. I try to protest,
at least to get my shoes. He

336
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.559
won't even let me do that.
Now I'm standing in front of the class.

337
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.359
Every guy's checking out my bare legs
and feet. As I'm explaining how

338
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:02.440
to do the problem, Darla gives
me that smirk that tells me I'm out

339
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:07.279
there now and guys are going to
be asking me out. Then she blows

340
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:12.440
me a kiss. After I finished
drawing off from taking a shower, I

341
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:17.680
walked to my room to get dressed
for work. Darla sees me in the

342
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:22.720
hallway and gives me that look again. Really, Danny boy, you can't

343
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:27.240
wear a towel to your room,
She gives me a sexy smile. Seriously,

344
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.839
you want to be naked all the
time, come to work. It's

345
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:36.279
expectations with me. I smirk.
What's the matter? Does me being naked

346
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.960
make you nervous? I point at
her. Ain't no different than you walking

347
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.880
around in your underwear. Darla groans
again when she knows she won't win with

348
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.720
me. Suddenly the door bursts open. My parents are there, along with

349
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:53.960
some of their church people, and
they've got guns. Get the fuck out

350
00:29:53.960 --> 00:30:00.519
of here, Darla demands. One
of the fuckers raises his gun and shoots

351
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.960
Darla in the shoulder, making her
drop fast. I scream in terror,

352
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:10.799
and then Dad shoots me, but
it's a dart. I'm falling to the

353
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:18.400
floor. In just seconds, I
wake up to some familiar surroundings. I'm

354
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.319
in the basement of the First Church
of the Divine Power, a church my

355
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:27.480
parents have been devout followers of.
I'm in an office. I feel the

356
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:33.000
gag and the handcuffs behind my back. Your father told you we were bringing

357
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.480
you back to God. Danielle.
Mom says, then I see the fucker

358
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.240
who shot Darla, and I scream
and rage through my gag. I'll fucking

359
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:48.920
kill you. And then I hear
Darla moan and see her tied and gagged

360
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:55.480
across the room. She looks pretty
bad, probably from blood loss. Then

361
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.400
Mom says to me, your friend
there lived in sin and wanted to take

362
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.319
my baby girl with her. She
deserves to die. She points at me.

363
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.079
You owe God. He gave you
your great beauty, and all you

364
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.400
did was squander it. You even
went against God's plan for you to marry

365
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:18.319
the evangelist son. Fuck you.
I growl through the gag. Mom tightens

366
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:23.480
her jaw and slaps me hard across
the face. Don't you ever use vulgarity

367
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:29.720
in God's house? She holds up
a copy of Vanity Fair from two months

368
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:34.440
ago. She slaps me harder,
confirming she's seen my nude pictorial. I

369
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:40.960
close my eyes in pain. Then
Mom says, in disgust, how dare

370
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.960
you? Then she says, to
the coltist who shot Darla, give Danielle's

371
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:52.440
friend her final judgment. She turns
to Darla, you tainted my baby girl,

372
00:31:52.839 --> 00:32:00.640
and now you're going straight to hell. When Darla screams through her gag,

373
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:06.319
I shake with anger and open my
eyes. Mom, the coltists,

374
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:10.960
and Darla gasp with surprise. Turns
out, when my fire gets burning,

375
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:16.599
my eyes turn blood red. I
feel that incredible surge throughout my body again.

376
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.680
I have an oversized T shirt on
me, but it becomes too tight

377
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:27.680
and rips apart as I change.
The handcuffs break on both shackles. When

378
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.400
I stand up, the coltist who
shot Darla shoots me in the face.

379
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.400
I want to scream at him,
but all that comes out are angry roars.

380
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:42.000
The bullet pops out of my face
and I heal up fast. I

381
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.480
grab the bastard's gun and break it. Then I hit him hard enough to

382
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:52.119
send him through the wall. Now
I turn to Mom to see her shaking

383
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.839
all over. She makes the sign
of the Cross as she utters, Oh

384
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:00.279
God in Heaven, Dan yelled,
oh my baby, My fire is a

385
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:07.920
raging inferno. All I see is
pure red. To think these fuckers were

386
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.920
spying on me the whole time.
Mom and Dad knew everything I was doing

387
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:17.559
in Malibu with the exception of getting
cursed in my piste off state. I

388
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:23.079
remember that I call the shots when
it comes to my werewolf body. Then

389
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.880
I get shot again. I look
and see Dad emptying his pistol into me,

390
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:34.720
silver bullets like in Malibu. They
just pop right out of my body.

391
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:39.039
I roar in utter rage and knock
Dad aside. I even shove Mom

392
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.440
on her ass. The other coltists
try and attack me, but I easily

393
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:49.720
throw them off. Darla looks at
me with wide eyes as I untie her

394
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.039
and lift her into my arms and
get her out of that church. I

395
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:59.279
run as fast as my hind legs
can move me and quickly get Darla to

396
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:07.079
the hospital. Three days later,
I'm leaving Strickfield. I'm still reading yesterday's

397
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.719
paper. It says everybody at the
first Church of the Divine Power was slaughtered.

398
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.440
In fact, the event is being
called the Strickfield Church massacre. But

399
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:25.559
I know I didn't kill anybody.
The police talk to me but couldn't connect

400
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.920
me with the event. They even
questioned Darla, and she didn't say one

401
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.840
word to them about me. I
could see she was afraid of me.

402
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:39.840
Though I had no choice, I
had to leave Strickfield and keep moving from

403
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.480
town to town. I have to
stay away from people, period. My

404
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:52.599
life is totally fucked now. Suddenly
a car pulls up beside me. Stop

405
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.360
right there, Danny boy. Darla. She's out of the hospital with a

406
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.480
sling on her arm. I can
tell she's still hurting, but here she

407
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:07.000
is with her car. I'm not
coming back, Darla, I reply,

408
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.960
you saw what I am. Darla
gets out of her car and comes to

409
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:16.000
me. You didn't kill those people. I was there with you. I

410
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:22.159
shake my head, but I can't
prove it wasn't me. So you're gonna

411
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:28.400
run. Darla snaps, You're gonna
take the blame bullshit. She shoves me.

412
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.119
You're coming home with me and we
are going to figure out the truth

413
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:38.320
together. But I'm a monster,
Darla, I remind her. Darla growls

414
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:44.559
and shoves me again. So fucking
use it. Find the fuckers who did

415
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:49.159
the massacre, clear your name.
Stop fucking running away, Danny boy.

416
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:54.880
You're stronger than this. When Darla
hugs me, I know I can't run

417
00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:02.239
from her. Darla truly is my
dearest friend. I agree to return to

418
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:08.559
Strickfield with her. We have to
solve the Strickfield Church massacre, which means

419
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:15.599
I'll be back to share more of
my exploits with you fine people. But

420
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:25.639
until then, tata an oddly touching
yet hair raising tail, to say the

421
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:30.880
least, and I certainly enjoyed that
one. Anytime we get to go back

422
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:37.000
to Strickfield and have a little hairy, scary good time, I'm okay with

423
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.199
and I hope you enjoyed that.
My good buddy Wolfman Dan, keep on

424
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.639
