&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it?”  Johnny asked impatiently as he drove to his office. “what is so important that you made me come in to work an hour before I was even supposed to leave?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we found him.”  Andy’s voice came through the cell phone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“who?” Johnny asked “this had better be good Andy, I was in the middle of something at home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“James Midnight.” Andy said slowly. Johnny’s whole body tensed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny nearly yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Andy said “ the one and only,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“where is he?, how did you find him? Has he infected anyone else?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we found him when a rural Mexican farmer sent us a message complaining about a ‘dragon man’ that has been stealing his live stalk and killing his villagers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“he made it all the way to Mexico? How?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we don’t know. But the farmer seemed to have caught and killed another dragon person who used to travel with him. We think it may be Helen Lutz.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how did he kill her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the only known way, point-blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so I guess I will be going to Mexico then.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes,  so when you get here we will get you all that you need so that you can leave as soon as possible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If I am going to be leaving for Mexico, I should tell Stephanie, So I guess that means I will be a there a bit later.”  Johnny told  Andy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, but be quick, time is a factor on this one.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem” Johnny said and hung up”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving at home to explain what was going on, Stephanie asked a question that took Johnny by surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can I come along?”  she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked in her eyes and saw she was completely serious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know it’s not a vacation, right?” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes, I was listing to you when said what you are going to do, and I think I could help.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know of the dangers, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes” she said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you ever shoot a gun before?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Once, my father bought a shotgun and let me shoot it at some cans.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“um… ok, you can come,” Johnny said “but we have to be quick”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, thank you” she said and hugged Johnny (and purring very loudly), then ran away to go get her stuff. Johnny stood up and looked in the mirror and saw that he blushing deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the way to the office Johnny called Andy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Andy, we will be there in about ten minutes.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we?!”  Andy said. “who the hell… oh, it that cat-girl who you let live with you because she was too much a wimp to live by herself, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie sank down in her seat. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, Andy?” Johnny said. “I have my cell set to loud speaker, and Stephanie is in the car.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a awkward silence  and then  Andy said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“sorry,” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“it’s okay” Stephanie said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“see you soon” Johnny said and hung up and looked over at Stephanie, “I am so sorry about that”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they arrived, Johnny led Stephanie up to the room were they kept all there weapons and equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, what we are going to be facing  is very aggressive and very powerful.” Johnny explained. “small calibre weapons will not effect him, the only way I’ve  been able to injure him is to shoot him with a sniper rifle,  or a point blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And how do you know this?” Stephanie asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed. “remember how I told  you that I was once a werewolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well as it seems, the dragon man we are going after is James Midnight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh,” Stephanie said. “will you be ok with this one?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep.”  Johnny said and picked up very large pistol. “this is a 50 calibre Desert Eagle. It is the most powerful pistol out there. When shooting, you  must always hold it with both hands or it will fly out of  your hands.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny proceeded to explain the fundamentals of all the weapons they were using. Among them they had two shotguns, a long range hunting rifle, two desert eagles and two hunting knifes.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, you ready?” Johnny asked &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“as ready as I’ll ever be.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny led Stephanie down to the Offices garage and begun to load the equipment in to the back of a Land Rover Discovery. When Stephanie saw this she said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, we aren’t taking the Mustang?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no,” Johnny said “ we will working in a rural aria and we may need to go off road, the Mustang just couldn’t handle that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just then Andy walked in to the garage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so how are we getting there,” Stephanie said “border patrol will never let us in with all these guns.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andy stepped forward. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that is were I come in.” he said. “ready to go?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“completely” Johnny said and looked over at Stephanie “get in”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After they were both in the car Andy opened up a portal to Mexico. The wall of the garage begun to get wavy and distorted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“wow.” Stephanie said “that is amazing”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yeah, it is pretty useful having a magician as your partner.” Johnny said and started the engine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“if he is your partner, shouldn’t he be coming with us?” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“he’s useless in the field,” Johnny said as he drove through the  portal. “that guy is such a whimp he is scaird to even pick up agun, so he stays here to do the things that cant be done out here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“things like, sending over ammo, doing research, things like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While they  were talking,  the scenery outside the car went from  the inside of the garage to the middle of a disserted, sun parched dirt road surrounded by Mexican cilantro fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He followed the car&#039;s G.P.S.  to the farmers  house. When they arrived Johnny stepped out of the car and put on his fedora.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“nice hat.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thanks. I’ve had it for a long time.” Johnny responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately when they got to the doorway, it was obvious there had been a struggle in the recent past. Johnny rushed in only to see what he feared the most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Written all over the wall in what appeared to be blood was &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“STAY AWAY OR ELSE”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie steeped in and screamed. When she calmed down, she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“was that him?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think so, look at that.” Johnny pointed to the floor where there large muddy foot prints with three toes on each foot and a elongated heal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we should follow those” Johnny said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uh… if it is ok with you, I think I would like to wait in the car.” Stephanie said.	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Stephanie walked to the car  Johnny followed the foot steps up the stairs. There were scratch marks on the wall along the hall atop the stairs. When he got to the end of the hall he herd a scream coming from out side.  Johnny rushed down the stairs and in to the doorway only to find that the door was looked from the outside. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“FUCK!!” Johnny yelled and ran to the living room and smashed through the window. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out side Johnny ran to the car and saw James Midnight reaching in to the car. Johnny froze, James had never looked worse.  His once shiny black scales were a dull grey and, in some places were pealing, most of the white spikes  running down his back were  broken or missing and there were scars all over his body. But her was still very fierce. Johnny snapped out of it and pulled out his desert eagle and shot at him, but as he shot James moved and the bullet missed. James looked over and said,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, well  if it isn’t my old friend Johnny Dean. I see you still have my hat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Get away from her!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James broke out in a fit of laughter. “you were always the joker in the group,” James said in his deep voice. “but all the same, if you do not interfere with me I spare your life.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pulled the trigger of his gun, but only produced a small click. The damn thing jammed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“NO! NOT AGIN!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James threw back his head and laughed again. “Deja-vu, Eh Johnny? You really should get better guns.”  James then reached in the car and grabbed Stephanie who continued screaming. Johnny threw down his gun and ran up to James. But by the time Johnny got to the car, James was all ready running down the road. Johnny go tin the car and started the engine and was soon in hot pursuit.  When Johnny caught up with him, James slashed Johnny’s  front left tier with his claws. Johnny lost control of  the SUV  and hit a tree. James stopped and turned to the crushed car. Dazed but all right, Johnny  grabbed the shotgun and got out of the car. Johnny pumped the gun and pointed it at James. When James saw this he pulled Stephanie in front of  him and held on of his claws to her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Put the gun down Johnny,” he said, “I am serious, don come any closer.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pointed the gun to the ground and stopped, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!” he exclaimed. “don’t spread the cruse to her!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Spared the curse!?”  James said. “ I can&#039;t spread the curse!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny said “what are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? Didn’t you hear. The magical implications of the curse wear off  after you leave the Amazon. No, I can&#039;t turn her in to one of me, but I can still kill her!” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, ok,” Just stay clam…”  Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“just stay there” James said. “now, I want you to…Gahhh!” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While they were talking, Stephanie had extended her own claws, and while they were smaller, they were still sharp. She reached up and jammed her claws in to her captors eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He immediately let  go of her and put both hands on his eye. As Stephanie ran away,  Johnny ran up to him and smashed him across the face  with the butt of the shotgun. James fell to the ground. Johnny put the gun to his head and said,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well James Midnight, any last words?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, I never shed a tear for you in the Amazon.”  James said and then spit on Johnny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“big mistake.” Johnny said and then pulled the trigger, putting a end to James Midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny walked over to Stephanie and hugged her. She was still shaking with fear. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t worry,” He said. “It’s over now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie looked up, the fur around her face matted by her tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time,” Johnny said. “lets go home.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was so tired that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;ah damn it&#039;&#039; Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was so tired that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;ah damn it&#039;&#039; Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;

Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;br /&gt;

Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip.

&lt;br /&gt;
As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.

&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was so tired that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;ah damn it&#039;&#039; Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;br /&gt;

“What is it?”  Johnny asked impatiently as he drove to his office. “what is so important that you made me come in to work an hour before I was even supposed to leave?”&lt;br /&gt;
“we found him.”  Andy’s voice came through the cell phone. &lt;br /&gt;
“who?” Johnny asked “this had better be good Andy, I was in the middle of something at home.”&lt;br /&gt;
“James Midnight.” Andy said slowly. Johnny’s whole body tensed.&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny nearly yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Andy said “ the one and only,”&lt;br /&gt;
“where is he?, how did you find him? Has he infected anyone else?”&lt;br /&gt;
 “we found him when a rural Mexican farmer sent us a message complaining about a ‘dragon man’ that has been stealing his live stalk and killing his villagers.”&lt;br /&gt;
“he made it all the way to Mexico? How” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“we don’t know. But the farmer seemed to have caught and killed another dragon person who used to travel with him. We think it may be Helen Lutz.”&lt;br /&gt;
“how did he kill her?”&lt;br /&gt;
“the only known way, point-blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
   “so I guess I will be going to Mexico then.”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes,  so when you get here we will get you all that you need so that you can leave as soon as possible.”&lt;br /&gt;
“If I am going to be leaving for Mexico, I should tell Stephanie, So I guess that means I will be a there a bit later.”  Johnny told  Andy.&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, but be quick, time is a factor on this one.”&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem” Johnny said and hung up”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	After arriving at home to explain what was going on, Stephanie asked a question that took Johnny by surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
“Can I come along?”  she said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked in her eyes and saw she was completely serious.&lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know it’s not a vacation, right?” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
“yes, I was listing to you when said what you are going to do, and I think I could help.” &lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know of the dangers, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes” she said&lt;br /&gt;
“you ever shoot a gun before?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Once, my father bought a shotgun and let me shoot it at some cans.”&lt;br /&gt;
“um… ok, you can come,” Johnny said “but we have to be quick”&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, thank you” she said and hugged Johnny (and purring very loudly), then ran away to go get her stuff. Johnny stood up and looked in the mirror and saw that he blushing deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  On the way to the office Johnny called Andy. &lt;br /&gt;
“Andy, we will be there in about ten minutes.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“we?!”  Andy said. “who the hell… oh, it that cat-girl who you let live with you because she was too much a wimp to live by herself, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie sank down in her seat. &lt;br /&gt;
“uh, Andy?” Johnny said. “I have my cell set to loud speaker, and Stephanie is in the car.”&lt;br /&gt;
There was a awkward silence  and then  Andy said &lt;br /&gt;
“sorry,” &lt;br /&gt;
“it’s okay” Stephanie said&lt;br /&gt;
“ see you soon” Johnny said and hung up and looked over at Stephanie, “I am so sorry about that”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  When they arrived, Johnny led Stephanie up to the room were they kept all there weapons and equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, what we are going to be facing  is very aggressive and very powerful.” Johnny explained. “small calibre weapons will not effect him, the only way I’ve  been able to injure him is to shoot him with a sniper rifle,  or a point blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
“And how do you know this?” Stephanie asked.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed. “remember how I told  you that I was once a werewolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes.” &lt;br /&gt;
“well as it seams, the dragon man we are going after is James Midnight.”&lt;br /&gt;
“oh,” Stephanie said. “will you be ok with this one?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yep.”  Johnny said and picked up very large pistol. “this is a 50 calibre Desert Eagle. It is the most powerful pistol out there. When shooting, you  must always hold it with both hands or it will fly out of  your hands.”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny proceeded to explain the fundamentals of all the weapons they were using. Among them they had two shotguns, a long range hunting rifle, two desert eagles and two hunting knifes.   &lt;br /&gt;
“ok, you ready?” Johnny asked &lt;br /&gt;
“as ready as I’ll ever be.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny led Stephanie down to the Offices garage and begun to load the equipment in to the back of a Land Rover Discovery. When Stephanie saw this she said&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, we aren’t taking the Mustang?  &lt;br /&gt;
“no,” Johnny said “ we will working in a rural aria and we may need to go off road, the Mustang just couldn’t handle that.”&lt;br /&gt;
Just then Andy walked in to the garage.&lt;br /&gt;
“so how are we getting there,” Stephanie said “border patrol will never let us in with all these guns.”&lt;br /&gt;
Andy stepped forward. &lt;br /&gt;
“that is were I come in.” he said. “ready to go?”&lt;br /&gt;
“completely” Johnny said and looked over at Stephanie “get in”&lt;br /&gt;
After they were both in the car Andy opened up a portal to Mexico. The wall of the garage begun to get wavy and distorted. &lt;br /&gt;
“wow.” Stephanie said “that is amazing”&lt;br /&gt;
“yeah, it is pretty useful having a magician as your partner.” Johnny said and started the engine.&lt;br /&gt;
“if he is your partner, shouldn’t he be coming with us?” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
“he’s useless in the field,” Johnny said as he drove through the  portal. “so he stays here to do the things that cant be done out here.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” &lt;br /&gt;
“things like, sending over ammo, doing research, you things like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
While they  were talking,  the scenery outside the car went from  the inside of the garage to the middle of a disserted, sun parched dirt road surrounded by Mexican cilantro fields.&lt;br /&gt;
He followed the G.P.S.  to the farmers  house. When they arrived Johnny stepped out of the car and put on his fedora.&lt;br /&gt;
“nice hat.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
“thanks. I’ve had it for a long time.” Johnny responded.&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately when they got to the doorway, it was obvious there had been a struggle in the recent past. Johnny rushed in only to see what he feared the most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Written all over the wall in what appeared to be blood was &lt;br /&gt;
“STAY AWAY OR ELSE”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie steeped in and screamed. When she calmed down, she said &lt;br /&gt;
“was that him?”&lt;br /&gt;
“I think so, look at that.” Johnny pointed to the floor where there large muddy foot prints with three toes on each foot and a elongated heal.&lt;br /&gt;
“we should follow those” Johnny said. &lt;br /&gt;
“Uh… if it is ok with you, I think I would like to wait in the car.” Stephanie said.	&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
As Stephanie walked to the car  Johnny followed the foot steps up the stairs. There were scratch marks on the wall along the hall atop the stairs. When he got to the end of the hall he herd a scream coming from out side.  Johnny rushed down the stairs and in to the doorway only to find that the door was looked from the outside. &lt;br /&gt;
“FUCK!!” Johnny yelled and ran to the living room and smashed through the window. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Out side Johnny ran to the car and saw James Midnight reaching in to the car. Johnny froze, James had never looked worse.  His once shiny scales were dull and, in some places were pealing, most of the white spikes  running down his back were  broken or missing and there were scars all over his body. But her was still very fierce. Johnny snapped out of it and pulled out his desert eagle and shot at him, but as he shot James moved and the bullet missed. James looked over and said,&lt;br /&gt;
“well, well  if it isn’t my old friend Johnny Dean.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Get away from her!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
James broke out in a fit of laughter. “you were always the joker in the group,” James said in his deep voice. “but all the same, if you do not interfere with me I spar your life.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pulled the trigger of his gun, but only produced a small click. The damn thing jammed. &lt;br /&gt;
“NO! NOT AGIN!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
James threw back and laughed again. “Deja-vu, Eh Johnny? You really should get better guns.”  James then reached in the car and grabbed Stephanie who continued screaming. Johnny threw down his gun and ran up to James. But by the time Johnny got to the car, James was all ready running down the road. Johnny go tin the car and started the engine and was soon in hot pursuit.  When Johnny caught up with him, James slashed Johnny’s tiers with his claws. Johnny lost control of  the SUV  and hit a tree. James stopped and turned to the crushed car. Dazed but all right, Johnny  grabbed the shotgun and got out of the car. Johnny pumped the gun and pointed it at James. When James saw this he pulled Stephanie in front of  him and held on of his claws to her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
“Put the gun down Johnny,” he said, “I am serious, don come any closer.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pointed the gun to the ground and stopped, &lt;br /&gt;
“No!” he exclaimed. “don’t spread the cruse to her!”&lt;br /&gt;
“Spared the curse!?”  James said. “ I cant spread the curse!”&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny said “what are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? Didn’t you hear. The magical implications of the curse wear off  after you leave the Amazon. No, I cant turn her in to one of me, but I can still kill her!” &lt;br /&gt;
“ok, ok,” Just stay clam…”  Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“just stay there” James said. “now, I want you to…Gahhh!” &lt;br /&gt;
While they were talking, Stephanie had extended her own claws, and while they were smaller, they were still sharp. She reached up and jammed her claws in to her captors eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He immediately let  go of her and put both hands on his eye. As Stephanie ran away,  Johnny ran up to him and smashed him across the face  with the butt of the shotgun. James fell to the ground. Johnny put the gun to his head and said,&lt;br /&gt;
“Well James Midnight, any last words?” &lt;br /&gt;
“yah, I never shed a tear for you in the Amazon.”  James said and then spit on Johnny.&lt;br /&gt;
“big mistake.” Johnny said and then pulled the trigger, putting a end to James Midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny walked over to Stephanie and hugged her. She was still shaking with fear. &lt;br /&gt;
“don’t worry,” He said. “It’s over now.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie looked up, the fur around her face matted by her tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time,” Johnny said. “lets go home.”&lt;br /&gt;

“yeah, it is pretty useful having a magician as your partner.” Johnny said and started the engine.&lt;br /&gt;
“if he is your partner, shouldn’t he be coming with us?” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
“he’s useless in the field,” Johnny said as he drove through the  portal. “so he stays here to do the things that cant be done out here.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” &lt;br /&gt;
“things like, sending over ammo, doing research, you things like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
While they  were talking,  the scenery outside the car went from  the inside of the garage to the middle of a disserted, sun parched dirt road surrounded by Mexican cilantro fields.&lt;br /&gt;
He followed the G.P.S.  to the farmers  house. When they arrived Johnny stepped out of the car and put on his fedora.&lt;br /&gt;
“nice hat.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
“thanks. I’ve had it for a long time.” Johnny responded.&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately when they got to the doorway, it was obvious there had been a struggle in the recent past. Johnny rushed in only to see what he feared the most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Written all over the wall in what appeared to be blood was &lt;br /&gt;
“STAY AWAY OR ELSE”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie steeped in and screamed. When she calmed down, she said &lt;br /&gt;
“was that him?”&lt;br /&gt;
“I think so, look at that.” Johnny pointed to the floor where there large muddy foot prints with three toes on each foot and a elongated heal.&lt;br /&gt;
“we should follow those” Johnny said. &lt;br /&gt;
“Uh… if it is ok with you, I think I would like to wait in the car.” Stephanie said.	&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
As Stephanie walked to the car  Johnny followed the foot steps up the stairs. There were scratch marks on the wall along the hall atop the stairs. When he got to the end of the hall he herd a scream coming from out side.  Johnny rushed down the stairs and in to the doorway only to find that the door was looked from the outside. &lt;br /&gt;
“FUCK!!” Johnny yelled and ran to the living room and smashed through the window. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Out side Johnny ran to the car and saw James Midnight reaching in to the car. Johnny froze, James had never looked worse.  His once shiny scales were dull and, in some places were pealing, most of the white spikes  running down his back were  broken or missing and there were scars all over his body. But her was still very fierce. Johnny snapped out of it and pulled out his desert eagle and shot at him, but as he shot James moved and the bullet missed. James looked over and said,&lt;br /&gt;
“well, well  if it isn’t my old friend Johnny Dean.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Get away from her!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
James broke out in a fit of laughter. “you were always the joker in the group,” James said in his deep voice. “but all the same, if you do not interfere with me I spar your life.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pulled the trigger of his gun, but only produced a small click. The damn thing jammed. &lt;br /&gt;
“NO! NOT AGIN!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
James threw back and laughed again. “Deja-vu, Eh Johnny? You really should get better guns.”  James then reached in the car and grabbed Stephanie who continued screaming. Johnny threw down his gun and ran up to James. But by the time Johnny got to the car, James was all ready running down the road. Johnny go tin the car and started the engine and was soon in hot pursuit.  When Johnny caught up with him, James slashed Johnny’s tiers with his claws. Johnny lost control of  the SUV  and hit a tree. James stopped and turned to the crushed car. Dazed but all right, Johnny  grabbed the shotgun and got out of the car. Johnny pumped the gun and pointed it at James. When James saw this he pulled Stephanie in front of  him and held on of his claws to her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
“Put the gun down Johnny,” he said, “I am serious, don come any closer.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pointed the gun to the ground and stopped, &lt;br /&gt;
“No!” he exclaimed. “don’t spread the cruse to her!”&lt;br /&gt;
“Spared the curse!?”  James said. “ I cant spread the curse!”&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny said “what are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? Didn’t you hear. The magical implications of the curse wear off  after you leave the Amazon. No, I cant turn her in to one of me, but I can still kill her!” &lt;br /&gt;
“ok, ok,” Just stay clam…”  Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“just stay there” James said. “now, I want you to…Gahhh!” &lt;br /&gt;
While they were talking, Stephanie had extended her own claws, and while they were smaller, they were still sharp. She reached up and jammed her claws in to her captors eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He immediately let  go of her and put both hands on his eye. As Stephanie ran away,  Johnny ran up to him and smashed him across the face  with the butt of the shotgun. James fell to the ground. Johnny put the gun to his head and said,&lt;br /&gt;
“Well James Midnight, any last words?” &lt;br /&gt;
“yah, I never shed a tear for you in the Amazon.”  James said and then spit on Johnny.&lt;br /&gt;
“big mistake.” Johnny said and then pulled the trigger, putting a end to James Midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny walked over to Stephanie and hugged her. She was still shaking with fear. &lt;br /&gt;
“don’t worry,” He said. “It’s over now.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie looked up, the fur around her face matted by her tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time,” Johnny said. “lets go home.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{series box|previous=[[User:Johnny Boy/The Transformation Consultant (part 1)]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it?”  Johnny asked impatiently as he drove to his office. “what is so important that you made me come in to work an hour before I was even supposed to leave?”&lt;br /&gt;
“we found him.”  Andy’s voice came through the cell phone. &lt;br /&gt;
“who?” Johnny asked “this had better be good Andy, I was in the middle of something at home.”&lt;br /&gt;
“James Midnight.” Andy said slowly. Johnny’s whole body tensed.&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny nearly yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Andy said “ the one and only,”&lt;br /&gt;
“where is he?, how did you find him? Has he infected anyone else?”&lt;br /&gt;
 “we found him when a rural Mexican farmer sent us a message complaining about a ‘dragon man’ that has been stealing his live stalk and killing his villagers.”&lt;br /&gt;
“he made it all the way to Mexico? How” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“we don’t know. But the farmer seemed to have caught and killed another dragon person who used to travel with him. We think it may be Helen Lutz.”&lt;br /&gt;
“how did he kill her?”&lt;br /&gt;
“the only known way, point-blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
   “so I guess I will be going to Mexico then.”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes,  so when you get here we will get you all that you need so that you can leave as soon as possible.”&lt;br /&gt;
“If I am going to be leaving for Mexico, I should tell Stephanie, So I guess that means I will be a there a bit later.”  Johnny told  Andy.&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, but be quick, time is a factor on this one.”&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem” Johnny said and hung up”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	After arriving at home to explain what was going on, Stephanie asked a question that took Johnny by surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
“Can I come along?”  she said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked in her eyes and saw she was completely serious.&lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know it’s not a vacation, right?” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
“yes, I was listing to you when said what you are going to do, and I think I could help.” &lt;br /&gt;
“um.. you know of the dangers, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes” she said&lt;br /&gt;
“you ever shoot a gun before?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Once, my father bought a shotgun and let me shoot it at some cans.”&lt;br /&gt;
“um… ok, you can come,” Johnny said “but we have to be quick”&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, thank you” she said and hugged Johnny (and purring very loudly), then ran away to go get her stuff. Johnny stood up and looked in the mirror and saw that he blushing deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  On the way to the office Johnny called Andy. &lt;br /&gt;
“Andy, we will be there in about ten minutes.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“we?!”  Andy said. “who the hell… oh, it that cat-girl who you let live with you because she was too much a wimp to live by herself, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie sank down in her seat. &lt;br /&gt;
“uh, Andy?” Johnny said. “I have my cell set to loud speaker, and Stephanie is in the car.”&lt;br /&gt;
There was a awkward silence  and then  Andy said &lt;br /&gt;
“sorry,” &lt;br /&gt;
“it’s okay” Stephanie said&lt;br /&gt;
“ see you soon” Johnny said and hung up and looked over at Stephanie, “I am so sorry about that”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  When they arrived, Johnny led Stephanie up to the room were they kept all there weapons and equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, what we are going to be facing  is very aggressive and very powerful.” Johnny explained. “small calibre weapons will not effect him, the only way I’ve  been able to injure him is to shoot him with a sniper rifle,  or a point blank shot with a shotgun.”&lt;br /&gt;
“And how do you know this?” Stephanie asked.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed. “remember how I told  you that I was once a werewolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes.” &lt;br /&gt;
“well as it seams, the dragon man we are going after is James Midnight.”&lt;br /&gt;
“oh,” Stephanie said. “will you be ok with this one?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yep.”  Johnny said and picked up very large pistol. “this is a 50 calibre Desert Eagle. It is the most powerful pistol out there. When shooting, you  must always hold it with both hands or it will fly out of  your hands.”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny proceeded to explain the fundamentals of all the weapons they were using. Among them they had two shotguns, a long range hunting rifle, two desert eagles and two hunting knifes.   &lt;br /&gt;
“ok, you ready?” Johnny asked &lt;br /&gt;
“as ready as I’ll ever be.” Stephanie said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny led Stephanie down to the Offices garage and begun to load the equipment in to the back of a Land Rover Discovery. When Stephanie saw this she said&lt;br /&gt;
“oh, we aren’t taking the Mustang?  &lt;br /&gt;
“no,” Johnny said “ we will working in a rural aria and we may need to go off road, the Mustang just couldn’t handle that.”&lt;br /&gt;
Just then Andy walked in to the garage.&lt;br /&gt;
“so how are we getting there,” Stephanie said “border patrol will never let us in with all these guns.”&lt;br /&gt;
Andy stepped forward. &lt;br /&gt;
“that is were I come in.” he said. “ready to go?”&lt;br /&gt;
“completely” Johnny said and looked over at Stephanie “get in”&lt;br /&gt;
After they were both in the car Andy opened up a portal to Mexico. The wall of the garage begun to get wavy and distorted. &lt;br /&gt;
“wow.” Stephanie said “that is amazing”&lt;br /&gt;

James broke out in a fit of laughter. “you were always the joker in the group,” James said in his deep voice. “but all the same, if you do not interfere with me I spar your life.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pulled the trigger of his gun, but only produced a small click. The damn thing jammed. &lt;br /&gt;
“NO! NOT AGIN!” Johnny yelled.&lt;br /&gt;
James threw back and laughed again. “Deja-vu, Eh Johnny? You really should get better guns.”  James then reached in the car and grabbed Stephanie who continued screaming. Johnny threw down his gun and ran up to James. But by the time Johnny got to the car, James was all ready running down the road. Johnny go tin the car and started the engine and was soon in hot pursuit.  When Johnny caught up with him, James slashed Johnny’s tiers with his claws. Johnny lost control of  the SUV  and hit a tree. James stopped and turned to the crushed car. Dazed but all right, Johnny  grabbed the shotgun and got out of the car. Johnny pumped the gun and pointed it at James. When James saw this he pulled Stephanie in front of  him and held on of his claws to her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
“Put the gun down Johnny,” he said, “I am serious, don come any closer.” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny pointed the gun to the ground and stopped, &lt;br /&gt;
“No!” he exclaimed. “don’t spread the cruse to her!”&lt;br /&gt;
“Spared the curse!?”  James said. “ I cant spread the curse!”&lt;br /&gt;
“What!?” Johnny said “what are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? Didn’t you hear. The magical implications of the curse wear off  after you leave the Amazon. No, I cant turn her in to one of me, but I can still kill her!” &lt;br /&gt;
“ok, ok,” Just stay clam…”  Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“just stay there” James said. “now, I want you to…Gahhh!” &lt;br /&gt;
While they were talking, Stephanie had extended her own claws, and while they were smaller, they were still sharp. She reached up and jammed her claws in to her captors eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He immediately let  go of her and put both hands on his eye. As Stephanie ran away,  Johnny ran up to him and smashed him across the face  with the butt of the shotgun. James fell to the ground. Johnny put the gun to his head and said,&lt;br /&gt;
“Well James Midnight, any last words?” &lt;br /&gt;
“yah, I never shed a tear for you in the Amazon.”  James said and then spit on Johnny.&lt;br /&gt;
“big mistake.” Johnny said and then pulled the trigger, putting a end to James Midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny walked over to Stephanie and hugged her. She was still shaking with fear. &lt;br /&gt;
“don’t worry,” He said. “It’s over now.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie looked up, the fur around her face matted by her tears. &lt;br /&gt;
“thank you,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;
“any time,” Johnny said. “lets go home.”&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;WHAT HAPPENED ON FLIGHT 750&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by Johnny Boy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The National Transportation Safety Board will now begun its inquiry On the events that took pace on Air Canada flight 750.” Says Tom Hays, chairman for the N.T.S.B.&lt;br /&gt;
“now, from what we could gather from the evidence from the desert, we have come to the conclusion that the plain went down because the  1st engine on the left wing exploded due to a fuel leak  in side the engine itself. Upon further examination of the flight records we discovered that the DC-10’s  engine’s had been serviced earlier that day by a Enrique Salvador, who says that he lost a pen in the engine yet did not report it for fear he my lose his job. For this Mr. Salvador will be held on trial  for 72 counts of criminal negligence resulting in  lose of human life.”&lt;br /&gt;
	 Then are plenty of reporters snapping photos  and asking questions. The man sitting next to Mr. Hays stands up, &lt;br /&gt;
“I am the head investigator in this accident, Jeff Masterson, and after reviewing the  flight deck recorder , or black box,  I can assure all of you that other than the exploding engine there was nothing out of the ordinary on this flight.”&lt;br /&gt;
A man in the audience stands up,&lt;br /&gt;
“BULLSHIT!” The man yells “I have with me something I wish for you all to see”&lt;br /&gt;
the man picks up a laptop and walks to projector and plugs in his pc&lt;br /&gt;
“Sir,” Mr. Hays says, “pleas sit down, you do not have permission to be doing this…”&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah, go to hell Hays, everyone has a right to see this,” The man the turns to the audience,&lt;br /&gt;
“now, I received a E-mail from my cousin’s lap top from that flight, and attached was this video taken using his web-cam.” Everyone looks at the projector screen which shows the ciaos in side the  cabin . people were running around screaming, and then everyone inside the cabin doubles over as if in pain and then begins to change. People begun to  scratch at there foreheads as long white horns start to grow out of them. The there bodies start to turn in to those of a horse. Others  start reaching for there  backs as insect wings pop out  and two mandibles grow out of there heads, then there bodies grow smaller and they begin  to emit a warm glow. Other changes start to happen but the camera goes out of focus and falls to the ground. Shortly after the video stops. &lt;br /&gt;
The room has gone silent.&lt;br /&gt;
“What the hell was THAT, Mr. Hays?!?” The man asks. Everyone turns to Mr. Hays who sighs and says, “very well if you must know, Canadian Air flight 750 did not go down due to a fuel leak, it was shot down. What you jus saw was a test gone wrong performed  by the Canadian and U.S. government. They were testing a new drug that can change the D.N.A. of any solder to help them perform better  in war. I  wont go in to details but the plane’s air supply was spiked with this drug to be tested on all the passengers on board. The pilots, who were breathing  from a separate air  source, were instructed to land the plane on a landing strip in area 51  for further testing,  but the test went wrong and the plane had to be shot down.” He paused and took a drink the stood back up and said “and since you all know of this you7 have all volunteered for these experiments.”&lt;br /&gt;
He then, along with Mr. Masterson, puts on air masks and pushes a button and within minutes everyone in the room is passed out.   &lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t know about you, Mr. Hays,” Mr. Masterson said through his air mask, “But next time I travel, I am taking the train.”&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.&lt;br /&gt;
BY Johnny boy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elvis aint dead. The man they found on August 16, 1977 was just a look a like  hired by some crazed fan to cover up what she had done. To this day Elvis is still alive and kicking. Just a bit….different. Let me explain…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year was 1976, Elvis was liven the high life. Women wanted him, men wanted to be like him,  he had everything. But every great performer has that one crazy fan.  The one who do any thing to get at the star. In Elvis’s case it was Sherry Arlington. She was a complete die hard fan, any show that Elvis did she was there front row and center. She had every bit of Elvis merchandise, and a little bit more unnerving, she knew all the access codes to his house and even had a key. Spooky.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Elvis had just finished his New Year’s Eve show in Pittsburgh, PA. at the  Civic Center Arena. And was back home in Graceland. Unknown to him, Sherry was sitting in her ford station wagon just across the street watching his bed room window and waiting for the light to go out. She had gone over her plan many times before:&lt;br /&gt;
“1. wait until the lights go out: Check.&lt;br /&gt;
2. sneak in Elvis’s house,&lt;br /&gt;
3. knock him out with either&lt;br /&gt;
4. take him to my house &lt;br /&gt;
5.use magic to make him mine.”&lt;br /&gt;
The moment that his lights went out she put her plan in to action. Using her key she walked right  thorough the   front door and right up to his bed room. She walked in with out a sound and walked right up to him.&lt;br /&gt;
“hello my darling,”  she said “Happy new year.”&lt;br /&gt;
“hu, whu?” Elvis said as he woke up. The moment he saw Sherry he jumped up an said &lt;br /&gt;
“hey babe, what the hell you doing in ma house?”&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve come to bring you home, darling.” &lt;br /&gt;
“come’ on lady, get out of  ma house.”&lt;br /&gt;
“no” Sherry said as she crossed her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t make me use ma kung-fu, now. Heya!” Elvis said and dropped in to a karate pose.&lt;br /&gt;
“oh come on now, don’t be like that.” Sherry said and threw her Either soaked rag in his face.&lt;br /&gt;
“whu…..?” Elvis said and passed out as the rag hit his face . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	when Elvis woke up he was tied to a  bed frame that was put on its end. There were candles in a semicircle.  &lt;br /&gt;
 “Finally, I thought you would never wake up”  Elvis  looked up and sherry wearing a tight red cocktail dress. &lt;br /&gt;
“hey lady,” Elvis said. “you got stop this.”&lt;br /&gt;
“aww.. but if I did that,” she said. “we wouldn’t be able to spend all our lives together.”&lt;br /&gt;
“what the hell are you planning to do?”&lt;br /&gt;
“I am going to change you, my sweet.”&lt;br /&gt;
“what do ya mean?” Elvis asked “hypnotise me?” &lt;br /&gt;
“these changes are not mantel, but physical.” She  said&lt;br /&gt;
“what are you goanna do?”&lt;br /&gt;
Sherry walked over to her record player and  put on ‘hound dog’&lt;br /&gt;
“use your imagination, sugar.” &lt;br /&gt;
“your goanna turn me in to a  hound dog!? Your crazy bitch” &lt;br /&gt;
“I think you’ll be singing a different tune in a few moments.” She then cut him down and started to chant and almost immediately Elvis felt fur growing up his whole body. His hand and feet  grew in to paws, his ears grew long and got floppy and his teeth grew longer and sharper. When his muzzle began to grow he (with difficulty ) stood up and bit her in the throat. She screamed in pain  and fell to the floor, the moment she stopped chanting, Elvis felt the changes stop and he ran out the front door. What happened for the next few years are still unclear but ever since he came to me to tell his story, we have been searching in vain to try to find a way to change him back. &lt;br /&gt;
	 All though the transformation has changed him greatly, his voice remains untouched. He dose private shows for us all the time, but still refuses to sing hound dog… Oh well. So now I leave you with these words, they say the king is dead, but I say long live the king.[[Category:Modern magic]]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was so tired that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;ah damn it&#039;&#039; Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{title|name=James Midnight in the curse of the were-people|author=Johnny Boy|user=Johnny Boy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
We crouched behind a large rock just long enough for me to re-load my gun. We were running from the two thing I never thought could even exist, the first one was a were-wolf , and the second one was some sort of were-dragon . I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I am getting ahead of myself, I should start from the beginning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is James Midnight, and when we started this journey, we had five members in our expedition , Steven Sharp, Helen Lutz , Johnny Dean, Rickey Clark, and of course, my-self. Our adventures took us to South America, in search of fortune and glory.  It was all Steven’s idea. At first I wanted no part of it, but when he came knocking at my door he was able convince me that the pay off would be worth the effort. He pulled out a map that he had gone to great expense to get. It showed a part of the Amazon that I had never seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This part of the jungle is said to be inhabited by a tribe of crazed natives that worshiped gods who took form of were-animals” he said. “ Only one man ever made it out of there, but when he was found  spouting out that  things about  being attacked by wolves and dragons,” he paused, “ he died soon after he was found due a stress related heart attack , but the strange thing is that there  were three long slashes across his chest which could be identified by….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, yah , enough with the hoc-us poke-us” I interrupted “ what is the pay off?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well there are supposed to be large stores of gold and diamonds here” Steve said pointing to a place on the map. “Unfortunately get to it we would have to sneak past their village and that wont be easy”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it were easy, you probably  wouldn’t be asking me to come,  but I’ve been felling bored lately so what the heck, I’ll do it.”  I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great, I’ll tell the others” Steve said happily &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wont be paying for their plane tickets this time, Right ?” I said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trip over was rather uneventful. After the flight, we meet up with the group at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, well if it isn’t Indiana  Jones.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I told you to stop calling me that.” I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“not until you lose the out fit” he was of course referring to my beige fedora and my weather beaten leather jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, lighten  up James, he’s only having a bit of fun.”  Helen said.  Helen and me go way back,  we first  met when she saved me from drowning in the  Nile  and we have been traveling together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine,” I said “were is Rick?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Over here guys “ came a voice from behind us. I turned and saw Rick hurrying towards us pulling two large suite cases  behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how’s it going Rick,” Johnny asked “that our arsenal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you know it”  and with that we all piled in to  a van hired to take us to a small town on the edge  of the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short van ride later, we got to the inn and we were standing around a gun covered bed going over  how many weapons and deciding who got  what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“did you remember my six-guns?” Johnny asked. Every time weapons were  involved with this kid it was either  six-guns or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I?” Rick said with a pleased look as he pulled out a leather cloth wrapped around  something. Inside were  two colt .45 Peace Maker revolvers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow”  Johnny said “the gun that ruled the west”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The one and only” Rick said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were five 9mm pistols, one for each of us and since Johnny didn’t use  one I got two. There were also two high powered guns, a standard pump action  shotgun and  a long rifle.  Helen took the rifle and Steve took the shotgun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We split two rooms between the five of us  and with only two beds per room, one of us had to sleep on the floor . Helen and Johnny shared one room, so Steve, Rick and I drew straws to decide who got the floor, and of course I picked the shortest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning  we started our trek into the forest. For the first few days nothing was out of the ordinary, other the  feeling that someone was watching us.  On the fourth night I woke up to the sound of something going through the camp. I sat up, instinctively putting my hand on the butt of my gun , my eyes adjusting to the dim fire light just in time to see a wolf run away from the camp. It was only as I lay back down and begun to drift to sleep that I realized that there are no wolves in the Amazon. I  begun to worry , but before I  could think about it too much, I fell fast asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within  three more days we were in view of the small village, which meant that we were very close to our goal.  We got around the village without trouble, and  got to the temple without confrontation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem that we don’t need all these guns after all.” Steve said, standing a the mouth of the temple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temple  had the look of a decorated  mine entrance. The opening was surrounded by a golden colored rock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pyrite,” Rick said, examining it more closely “fools gold.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those tricky bastards” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We each put on  LED head lamps and started in to the temple. The walls were perfectly smooth and curved up in to the roof. The floor tilted  downwards slightly into the darkness. We started walking down and about half an hour later we reached  a left turn in the path. About five minutes after we  reached  two large doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I have no idea what is in there, so be ready.”  I said and quickly pushed the doors open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every one gasped at what they saw Inside, the room was well illuminated and full of diamonds and gold coins. We all rushed in and started greedily stuffing our bags. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You humans are all the same,…” we all froze, I looked around and was terrified to see a large creature in the shadows. Everyone turned around and  watched as the thing stepped in the light to revel a large Were-dragon with jet black scales all over his body. He had large white spikes growing from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He spoke with perfect English, “…greedy, arrogant and stupid.” At this he began to charge at  Helen. Johnny was the first one to react, pulling out both revolvers at lightning speed and pumping the were-dragon with twelve lead shots. The bullets seemed to do nothing more than piss him off because he turned and  ran towards Johnny. Once the dragon got to him,  Johnny  smashed it across the face with one of his guns. This caught  the dragon off guard and sent him stumbling backwards next to Helen. He turned and slashed her on the arm.  At this point  Steve had pulled out his  shot-gun and blasted him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“RUNNNNNNN!!!!” Steve yelled &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While getting out I yelled  “ there’s no time to go around , cut through the village”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one objected. Going through the village, I noticed that it was completely deserted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stopped a little bit after the village when we noticed that the dragon wasn’t  after us, at least not at the moment.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh.. guys?” Helen said  “shouldn’t a cut like this be bleeding?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that I actually  saw the wound. It was very deep and it was not bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should probably cover that so it doesn’t get infected” I said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I fill very woozy…” Helen said as she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Damn it!” Steve  yelled “ I forgot my bag  in the temple”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so?” said Johnny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that bag had our tent in it!” Steve yelled trying to keep his temper &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny started to say something, but was cut off  by a loud growl  coming  from Helen.  We were horrified to see several dark  purple  scales spreading away from her wound.  They covered her entire body within minuets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh god,” Steve said quietly, “gather your things, hurry before she wakes up.”   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her nose and upper mouth fused and pushed away from her face, and her breasts started to become smaller until they were gone. A thick long tail ripped out the back of her jeans and spikes started to grow from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. All her muscles began to bulge  and  in side her mouth her tongue became  long and forked at the tip.  Her feet  elongated her toes fused until there  were only three left on each foot. Long claws  appeared on each toe  and one on each heel, the same pattern appeared on her  hands as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok,” I  whispered  “ lets get the hell out of here.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After twenty minutes of walking I pulled  out a  cigarette and lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought that you quit.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I did” I said  “I only do this when I am stressed”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ wow if I were you, I would  have been puffing away a long time ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never had chance to” I said, blowing smoke in Johnny’s face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve stopped and dropped his bags &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think this is a good place to stop.” Steve said “she obviously isn’t following us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all agreed. We tried to set up camp with what little we had among us; one can of beans, three blankets and one flint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We built a small camp fire and began to eat our beans. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Its growing dark,” Steve said “one of us should keep watch”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“but who?” Rick asked &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well,” I said, looking at my watch, it was 8:15, “if we leave at eight-thirty tomorrow, that gives us twelve hours of sleep, so we can each keep watch for three hours.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We drew straws to choose the order,  I  chose the shortest so I was first to watch, Rick was second Johnny was third and Steve was fourth .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After doing my shift, I was awakened from a dreamless sleep by a terrified scream. I jumped up as I saw Johnny being dragged off in to the woods by a  large were-wolf. I wasn’t  able to get to him before  he was dragged in to the darkness. None of us were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We herd some brief struggling, a yell of pain from Johnny, eleven shots erupted from his revolvers, a howl of agony from the were-wolf and then the sound of something running away fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny, you all right?” I yelled out in to the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, it bit me.” Johnny’s voice responded,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hang on buddy were coming for you” I yelled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t even think about it Midnight, I don’t want you to see what I am about to do...  Good-bye.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click, a short pause, then, Click, Clik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh god” Johnny said, voice trembling “it’s jammed,  no, noo, nooooooooooooooawoooooo” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing his turn scream in to a howl was probably the hardest thing for me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we have to get out of here,”  Rick said “before they get us all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily for us Johnny did not seem to be able to follow our trail. If he were, we would most certainly all be dead.  Walking through the wood at night with just our head lamps was absolutely treacherous, (running was out of the question, due to the fact that we were  traveling through the forest at the dead of night.)  We were making pretty good time, and trying to figure were to go next.  We decided to keep going north with the hope of reaching the small town from which we started this damn journey, then  Rick fell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was dark so no one  was really sure what happened.  All we knew was that his leg was broken. He shined his lamp down and revelled that the bone was protruding right through the skin.  He seemed to be handling the whole thing very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well… I think it’s obvious what happens.” Rick said calmly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ yah, we pick you up and we carry you” Steve said quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, you go, I stay.” Rick paused “get out with your lives”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No,”  I said “were not losing another person”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ that dragon was right” Rick said chuckling “you are stupid.” We all herd something approaching.  “do you  really believe that I am going to get out of here alive?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“are you sure?” Steve said  “ you don’t have to do this Ricky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am positive… now get out of here,  before they catch you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you, Rick.” I said tears slipping down my face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they changed or killed him, they did it silently, for we herd no noise what so ever.  Walking as fast as we could through the heavy brush. After walking fro a few hours we  stumbled upon  a cave deep enough  for us to sleep in for  a little while with out being noticed by someone or something  walking by.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We flipped a coin  to deicide who would keep watch first, I won so I got to sleep first.  Steve woke me three hours later and said that it was his turn to sleep. Grumbling, I got up made my self a cold cup of coffee (we weren’t lighting fires in the cave for safety reasons) picked up the shotgun, sat with ma back against a rock and watched over the mouth of the cave. About two hours later  I was felling pretty confident that  at least Steve and I  would get out when I herd Steven groan in his sleep. I turned to check on him and immediately jumped up. The were-dragon had given  Steven  a kick in the  stomach resulting in a large  hole in his stomach. The wound was not bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How the hell did you get in here?!”  I yelled , cocking the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin spread across the dragon’s face. “ I snuck in whale your friend dozed  off,  and now, James Midnight  you and Steve here will become one of us .”  he said, his grin spreading in to a smile. “ but don’t worry,  its not so bad, just ask your friends over there” &lt;br /&gt;
I turned and saw Helen and Johnny step in front of the cave, Johnny still had one of his gun belts slung over his waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned back and the were-dragon started to laugh which turned my fear in to rage. I jumped over the rock and shoved the barrel of the shotgun in to his long  mouth and pulled the trigger. The were-dragon’s eyes  widened with surprise and he fell to the ground. Dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned around to shoot at the others but as I did I fell and the shotgun flew out of my hands. Getting to my feet,  I noticed that Helen and Johnny had already started advancing on us. I begun to shoot at them but on the third shot my one of my pistols jammed. I threw it to the side and shot of the other one. I crouched down behind the rock to reload.                              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and  ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn’t have time to respond, because when I  Looked down he had already closed his eyes and was unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had the gun under my chine and was ready to end it all right there, when Johnny came up knocked the gun out of my hand and tried to cut me with his claws. I grabbed his wrists and tried to wrestle him to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Johnny,” I said trying to maintain the stalemate which we held “this isn’t who you are, you can fight this.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“shut it.” Johnny growled at  me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“have it your way” I said and kneed him in the solar plexus. He immediately  doubled over and I punched him in the head. Wahl I was taking care of that, Helen had come up behind me and ran her claws down my back leaving three long gashes. I stopped and yelled out in pain as I felt the claws cutting through my flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned and looked right in to her eyes. They were large reptilian eyes and saw no remorse in the deep red glare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had no time to react when she picked me up by the collar of my jacket and threw me against the caves wall. I hit my head on a rock and as I slumped down to the floor the last thing I remember seeing is my hat falling over  my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I woke up a few hours later feeling no pain whatsoever. I opened my eyes and was  confused to see  a long snout splitting my vision. I looked down at my self and realized what had happened. My entire body was  covered with dark blue scales, I felt around and found that I had a thick, long tail. On each hand I had thee fingers on the front and one on the back , each “finger” had one long claw protruding from it. I looked down and saw that the same pattern had formed on my feet.  My neck had lengthened and all my senses were sharper. I stood up and felt that all my muscles had grown and gotten stronger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ how do you feel James ?” asked a beautiful feminine voice  form behind me. I turned and saw Helen staring me in the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” I said, the word flowing easily from my mouth &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good” said Johnny “once Steve wakes up we can begin repopulating the world”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?” I said not really under standing the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“our new race was trapped in that temple, not protecting it,” Helen explained “And when we took that gold, we freed the were-wolf and the were-dragon from there prison.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh” I said still a little confused. Johnny put his hand on my shoulder and said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well James midnight, are you ready for your next adventure?”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{title|name=James Midnight in the curse of the were-people|author=Johnny Boy|user=Johnny Boy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
We crouched behind a large rock just long enough for me to re-load my gun. We were running from the two thing I never thought could even exist, the first one was a were-wolf , and the second one was some sort of were-dragon . I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I am getting ahead of myself, I should start from the beginning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is James Midnight, and when we started this journey, we had five members in our expedition , Steven Sharp, Helen Lutz , Johnny Dean, Rickey Clark, and of course, my-self. Our adventures took us to South America, in search of fortune and glory.  It was all Steven’s idea. At first I wanted no part of it, but when he came knocking at my door he was able convince me that the pay off would be worth the effort. He pulled out a map that he had gone to great expense to get. It showed a part of the Amazon that I had never seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This part of the jungle is said to be inhabited by a tribe of crazed natives that worshiped gods who took form of were-animals” he said. “ Only one man ever made it out of there, but when he was found  spouting out that  things about  being attacked by wolves and dragons,” he paused, “ he died soon after he was found due a stress related heart attack , but the strange thing is that there  were three long slashes across his chest which could be identified by….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, yah , enough with the hoc-us poke-us” I interrupted “ what is the pay off?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well there are supposed to be large stores of gold and diamonds here” Steve said pointing to a place on the map. “Unfortunately get to it we would have to sneak past their village and that wont be easy”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it were easy, you probably  wouldn’t be asking me to come,  but I’ve been felling bored lately so what the heck, I’ll do it.”  I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great, I’ll tell the others” Steve said happily &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wont be paying for their plane tickets this time, Right ?” I said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trip over was rather uneventful. After the flight, we meet up with the group at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, well if it isn’t Indiana  Jones.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I told you to stop calling me that.” I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“not until you lose the out fit” he was of course referring to my beige fedora and my weather beaten leather jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, lighten  up James, he’s only having a bit of fun.”  Helen said.  Helen and me go way back,  we first  met when she saved me from drowning in the  Nile  and we have been traveling together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine,” I said “were is Rick?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Over here guys “ came a voice from behind us. I turned and saw Rick hurrying towards us pulling two large suite cases  behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how’s it going Rick,” Johnny asked “that our arsenal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you know it”  and with that we all piled in to  a van hired to take us to a small town on the edge  of the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short van ride later, we got to the inn and we were standing around a gun covered bed going over  how many weapons and deciding who got  what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“did you remember my six-guns?” Johnny asked. Every time weapons were  involved with this kid it was either  six-guns or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I?” Rick said with a pleased look as he pulled out a leather cloth wrapped around  something. Inside were  two colt .45 Peace Maker revolvers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow”  Johnny said “the gun that ruled the west”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The one and only” Rick said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were five 9mm pistols, one for each of us and since Johnny didn’t use  one I got two. There were also two high powered guns, a standard pump action  shotgun and  a long rifle.  Helen took the rifle and Steve took the shotgun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We split two rooms between the five of us  and with only two beds per room, one of us had to sleep on the floor . Helen and Johnny shared one room, so Steve, Rick and I drew straws to decide who got the floor, and of course I picked the shortest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning  we started our trek into the forest. For the first few days nothing was out of the ordinary, other the  feeling that someone was watching us.  On the fourth night I woke up to the sound of something going through the camp. I sat up, instinctively putting my hand on the butt of my gun , my eyes adjusting to the dim fire light just in time to see a wolf run away from the camp. It was only as I lay back down and begun to drift to sleep that I realized that there are no wolves in the Amazon. I  begun to worry , but before I  could think about it too much, I fell fast asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within  three more days we were in view of the small village, which meant that we were very close to our goal.  We got around the village without trouble, and  got to the temple without confrontation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem that we don’t need all these guns after all.” Steve said, standing a the mouth of the temple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temple  had the look of a decorated  mine entrance. The opening was surrounded by a golden colored rock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pyrite,” Rick said, examining it more closely “fools gold.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those tricky bastards” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We each put on  LED head lamps and started in to the temple. The walls were perfectly smooth and curved up in to the roof. The floor tilted  downwards slightly into the darkness. We started walking down and about half an hour later we reached  a left turn in the path. About five minutes after we  reached  two large doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I have no idea what is in there, so be ready.”  I said and quickly pushed the doors open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every one gasped at what they saw Inside, the room was well illuminated and full of diamonds and gold coins. We all rushed in and started greedily stuffing our bags. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You humans are all the same,…” we all froze, I looked around and was terrified to see a large creature in the shadows. Everyone turned around and  watched as the thing stepped in the light to revel a large Were-dragon with jet black scales all over his body. He had large white spikes growing from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He spoke with perfect English, “…greedy, arrogant and stupid.” At this he began to charge at  Helen. Johnny was the first one to react, pulling out both revolvers at lightning speed and pumping the were-dragon with twelve lead shots. The bullets seemed to do nothing more than piss him off because he turned and  ran towards Johnny. Once the dragon got to him,  Johnny  smashed it across the face with one of his guns. This caught  the dragon off guard and sent him stumbling backwards next to Helen. He turned and slashed her on the arm.  At this point  Steve had pulled out his  shot-gun and blasted him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“RUNNNNNNN!!!!” Steve yelled &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While getting out I yelled  “ there’s no time to go around , cut through the village”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one objected. Going through the village, I noticed that it was completely deserted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stopped a little bit after the village when we noticed that the dragon wasn’t  after us, at least not at the moment.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh.. guys?” Helen said  “shouldn’t a cut like this be bleeding?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that I actually  saw the wound. It was very deep and it was not bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should probably cover that so it doesn’t get infected” I said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I fill very woozy…” Helen said as she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Damn it!” Steve  yelled “ I forgot my bag  in the temple”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so?” said Johnny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that bag had our tent in it!” Steve yelled trying to keep his temper &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny started to say something, but was cut off  by a loud growl  coming  from Helen.  We were horrified to see several dark  purple  scales spreading away from her wound.  They covered her entire body within minuets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh god,” Steve said quietly, “gather your things, hurry before she wakes up.”   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her nose and upper mouth fused and pushed away from her face, and her breasts started to become smaller until they were gone. A thick long tail ripped out the back of her jeans and spikes started to grow from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. All her muscles began to bulge  and  in side her mouth her tongue became  long and forked at the tip.  Her feet  elongated her toes fused until there  were only three left on each foot. Long claws  appeared on each toe  and one on each heel, the same pattern appeared on her  hands as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok,” I  whispered  “ lets get the hell out of here.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After twenty minutes of walking I pulled  out a  cigarette and lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought that you quit.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I did” I said  “I only do this when I am stressed”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ wow if I were you, I would  have been puffing away a long time ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never had chance to” I said, blowing smoke in Johnny’s face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve stopped and dropped his bags &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think this is a good place to stop.” Steve said “she obviously isn’t following us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all agreed. We tried to set up camp with what little we had among us; one can of beans, three blankets and one flint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We built a small camp fire and began to eat our beans. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Its growing dark,” Steve said “one of us should keep watch”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“but who?” Rick asked &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well,” I said, looking at my watch, it was 8:15, “if we leave at eight-thirty tomorrow, that gives us twelve hours of sleep, so we can each keep watch for three hours.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We drew straws to choose the order,  I  chose the shortest so I was first to watch, Rick was second Johnny was third and Steve was fourth .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After doing my shift, I was awakened from a dreamless sleep by a terrified scream. I jumped up as I saw Johnny being dragged off in to the woods by a  large were-wolf. I wasn’t  able to get to him before  he was dragged in to the darkness. None of us were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We herd some brief struggling, a yell of pain from Johnny, eleven shots erupted from his revolvers, a howl of agony from the were-wolf and then the sound of something running away fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny, you all right?” I yelled out in to the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, it bit me.” Johnny’s voice responded,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hang on buddy were coming for you” I yelled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t even think about it Midnight, I don’t want you to see what I am about to do...  Good-bye.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click, a short pause, then, Click, Clik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh god” Johnny said, voice trembling “it’s jammed,  no, noo, nooooooooooooooawoooooo” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing his turn scream in to a howl was probably the hardest thing for me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we have to get out of here,”  Rick said “before they get us all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily for us Johnny did not seem to be able to follow our trail. If he were, we would most certainly all be dead.  Walking through the wood at night with just our head lamps was absolutely treacherous, (running was out of the question, due to the fact that we were  traveling through the forest at the dead of night.)  We were making pretty good time, and trying to figure were to go next.  We decided to keep going north with the hope of reaching the small town from which we started this damn journey, then  Rick fell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was dark so no one  was really sure what happened.  All we knew was that his leg was broken. He shined his lamp down and revelled that the bone was protruding right through the skin.  He seemed to be handling the whole thing very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well… I think it’s obvious what happens.” Rick said calmly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ yah, we pick you up and we carry you” Steve said quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, you go, I stay.” Rick paused “get out with your lives”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No,”  I said “were not losing another person”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ that dragon was right” Rick said chuckling “you are stupid.” We all herd something approaching.  “do you  really believe that I am going to get out of here alive?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“are you sure?” Steve said  “ you don’t have to do this Ricky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am positive… now get out of here,  before they catch you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you, Rick.” I said tears slipping down my face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they changed or killed him, they did it silently, for we herd no noise what so ever.  Walking as fast as we could through the heavy brush. After walking fro a few hours we  stumbled upon  a cave deep enough  for us to sleep in for  a little while with out being noticed by someone or something  walking by.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We flipped a coin  to deicide who would keep watch first, I won so I got to sleep first.  Steve woke me three hours later and said that it was his turn to sleep. Grumbling, I got up made my self a cold cup of coffee (we weren’t lighting fires in the cave for safety reasons) picked up the shotgun, sat with ma back against a rock and watched over the mouth of the cave. About two hours later  I was felling pretty confident that  at least Steve and I  would get out when I herd Steven groan in his sleep. I turned to check on him and immediately jumped up. The were-dragon had given  Steven  a kick in the  stomach resulting in a large  hole in his stomach. The wound was not bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How the hell did you get in here?!”  I yelled , cocking the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin spread across the dragon’s face. “ I snuck in whale your friend dozed  off,  and now, James Midnight  you and Steve here will become one of us .”  he said, his grin spreading in to a smile. “ but don’t worry,  its not so bad, just ask your friends over there” &lt;br /&gt;
I turned and saw Helen and Johnny step in front of the cave, Johnny still had one of his gun belts slung over his waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned back and the were-dragon started to laugh which turned my fear in to rage. I jumped over the rock and shoved the barrel of the shotgun in to his long  mouth and pulled the trigger. The were-dragon’s eyes  widened with surprise and he fell to the ground. Dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned around to shoot at the others but as I did I fell and the shotgun flew out of my hands. Getting to my feet,  I noticed that Helen and Johnny had already started advancing on us. I begun to shoot at them but on the third shot my one of my pistols jammed. I threw it to the side and shot of the other one. I crouched down behind the rock to reload.                              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and  ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn’t have time to respond, because when I  Looked down he had already closed his eyes and was unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had the gun under my chine and was ready to end it all right there, when Johnny came up knocked the gun out of my hand and tried to cut me with his claws. I grabbed his wrists and tried to wrestle him to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Johnny,” I said trying to maintain the stalemate which we held “this isn’t who you are, you can fight this.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“shut it.” Johnny growled at  me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“have it your way” I said and kneed him in the solar plexus. He immediately  doubled over and I punched him in the head. Wahl I was taking care of that, Helen had come up behind me and ran her claws down my back leaving three long gashes. I stopped and yelled out in pain as I felt the claws cutting through my flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned and looked right in to her eyes. They were large reptilian eyes and saw no remorse in the deep red glare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had no time to react when she picked me up by the collar of my jacket and threw me against the caves wall. I hit my head on a rock and as I slumped down to the floor the last thing I remember seeing is my hat falling over  my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I woke up a few hours later feeling no pain whatsoever. I opened my eyes and was  confused to see  a long snout splitting my vision. I looked down at my self and realized what had happened. My entire body was  covered with dark blue scales, I felt around and found that I had a thick, long tail. On each hand I had thee fingers on the front and one on the back , each “finger” had one long claw protruding from it. I looked down and saw that the same pattern had formed on my feet.  My neck had lengthened and all my senses were sharper. I stood up and felt that all my muscles had grown and gotten stronger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ how do you feel James ?” asked a beautiful feminine voice  form behind me. I turned and saw Helen staring me in the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” I said, the word flowing easily from my mouth &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good” said Johnny “once Steve wakes up we can begin repopulating the world”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?” I said not really under standing the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“our new race was trapped in that temple, not protecting it,” Helen explained “And when we took that gold, we freed the were-wolf and the were-dragon from there prison.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh” I said still a little confused. Johnny put his hand on my shoulder and said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well James midnight, are you ready for your next adventure?”&lt;br /&gt;

==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was so tired that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;ah damn it&#039;&#039; Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;br /&gt;

Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
* &lt;br /&gt;
She was so tiered that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
*&lt;br /&gt;
	The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
_ah damn it _ Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

THE TRANSFORMATION CONSULTANT:&lt;br /&gt;
Part 1&lt;br /&gt;
By Johnny Boy&lt;br /&gt;
      Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	 A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	 A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.

“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Johnny Boy: New page: THE TRANSFORMATION CONSULTANT: Part 1 By Johnny Boy       Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;THE TRANSFORMATION CONSULTANT:&lt;br /&gt;
Part 1&lt;br /&gt;
By Johnny Boy&lt;br /&gt;
      Johnny was sitting in his cluttered office  talking to a client (a young woman named Stephanie)  about how to get her self back in to society  when Andy opened to the door.&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny,” he said “we have a problem, can I talk to you?” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny sighed “sorry, you will have to excuse me for a moment,” &lt;br /&gt;
The girl nodded and Johnny stepped out in to the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
“what is it,”  he said and pointed  to the door “I am with a client”&lt;br /&gt;
“ the police called,” Andy said  “there is a situation they are not sure how to handle it. They said they need you now”&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, crap”  Johnny said and went back in to the office. “ I am sorry, but I have to go. Is there another time we can do this?”&lt;br /&gt;
“any time is ok with me, but I would rather  not go out in the day like this…” she gestured  to her body which was covered in short orange fur. Her face  has a short muzzle with a small pink nose on the tip. Her ears are triangular and have moved close to the top of her head (which, still has it’ original medium length hair.  “ can I just stay here until you come back?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“uh, I might be awhile,”&lt;br /&gt;
“that’s all right.” She said  quickly&lt;br /&gt;
“ok, uh, I’ll send someone to come and check on you every now and then.”  Johnny said as he gather his things. He grabbed his beige fedora as he headed out the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    As he walked to the buildings garage, Andy explained that there was a raging dispute between to female employees and to day one of them finely snapped,  she had taken the other, Sarah  Stevenson, who was a previous client of  there’s,   and tied her to a chair in a conference and locked the both of them in. As they entered the garage,  Andy said, “oh yah,  she has a knife with her.”&lt;br /&gt;
“WHAT!?” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“the police have authorized you to use  your emergency lights on your way there.”&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good.” Johnny said as he got in to a red ford Mustang.&lt;br /&gt;
He started the engine and leaned out the window, “by the way, go an check on the girl in my office every now and then”&lt;br /&gt;
He revved the engine and pulled out, as he did he flipped a small switch on the  dash board and blue and red lights under the grill and on the tail of the car begun to flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	 A few minutes later he got to the office building. And ran to the elevator. When he got to the top he rushed to the room where these events were taking place.  There  were plenty of police men standing at the door trying to talk the woman  in to putting down the knife. But they were having no luck.  &lt;br /&gt;
“ah, Mr. Dean. Thank god!”  said one man and held out his hand to Johnny, who took it and shook. “Chet Wilson, head hostage negotiator for this case”&lt;br /&gt;
“has anything worked so far?” Johnny asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“well” sighed Chet, “we got her to take the knife away from Miss. Stevenson ‘s  throat, but aside from that, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
“THIS DOG BITCH PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME!!” came a yell from inside the room.&lt;br /&gt;
Chet sighed again “that’s the first thing she said in a hour.”  &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went to the door, “Miss? Will you come here and talk to me pleas?” Johnny  asked. &lt;br /&gt;
“I’M NOT TALKING WITH NO POLICE!” The woman said.&lt;br /&gt;
“I am not a cop” Johnny said “Pleas miss, I know that you are angry…”&lt;br /&gt;
“I AINT TALKING TO NOBODY, UNDERSTAND?”&lt;br /&gt;
“damn” Johnny said softly. He turned to the police behind him. “Ok, I am going in, stand back.”&lt;br /&gt;
“how?” Chet said the “door’s locked” &lt;br /&gt;
“magic” Johnny said and pulled out his folding knife.&lt;br /&gt;
“your crazy,” said one of the  cops “magic doesn’t exist”&lt;br /&gt;
“ you’ll be saying something different in a moment” Johnny said and drew a X in the air over the lock with his knife and commanded it to open mentally. Johnny winced as a small but sharp pain shot through his back. The lock glowed momentarily and then opined with a small click. &lt;br /&gt;
“holy  carp!” said the cop.&lt;br /&gt;
“told you so” Johnny said as he pulled out his gun. “wish me luck.” &lt;br /&gt;
He burst through the door while shouting “DROP THE KNIFE!” he immediately amid the gun at the  woman. She dropped the knife and ran away yelling at him “DON’T SHOOT” &lt;br /&gt;
She was promptly arrested in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny holstered his gun and went to untie Sarah. After he was done she stood up and begun to claw at her wolfish face. When he looked closer He noticed that the was duct tape raped around it.&lt;br /&gt;
“oh my,” Johnny said “ let me get that for you,”  he reached up and pulled  the tape off.&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you so much” she said and then passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	 A short time later paramedics arrived and took her to the nearest hospital,  Johnny headed back to the back to the office. Stephanie was slumped in her char and was purring softly, although he was only gone for a hour an a half,  she had fallen asleep.  Johnny sighed.  He felt sorry for her,  once the magic came back to the world, people started to transform, and not know what to do. This poor girls family had thrown her out the moment it happened. She had been wandering the streets at night for two weeks before coming to seek help.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey,” Johnny said softly “wake up.”&lt;br /&gt;
“whu….huh?” she looked up with tired eyes, “oh…Johnny. Your back.”&lt;br /&gt;
“yep,” Johnny said as he sat down behind his desk. Stephanie looked at the clock and her face fell.&lt;br /&gt;
“I guess you will be closing soon” she said &lt;br /&gt;
“yah….do you have somewhere to stay?” he asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“no” she said “I haven’t had anywhere stay for two weeks.”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked at the girl across from him and sighed &lt;br /&gt;
“you can stay with me for awhile.”&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up. “Really?” &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded. A smile spread over here face. “oh thank you. THANK YOU.” 	&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped up and hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;
“no problem.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
* &lt;br /&gt;
She was so tiered that  the moment she got in to bed she was fast asleep. Johnny walked over to the fridge and chugged a Pepsi. At the sound of the fridge closing, Johnny’s dog, Fergus, came running in to the kitchen looking for food.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey boy.” Johnny said as he walked over and petted him. “good day?” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just stared at him.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny went upstairs, showered and climbed in to bed. Fergus ran in and jumped up on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
“hey, you know your not supposed to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus stepped forward and licked his face.&lt;br /&gt;
“fine, but just this once.” Johnny said and Fergus laid down next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t believe I said  she could stay here.” He said to the dog. “I don’t even know her. She could be a murder for all I know.  But she’s so young, she can’t be older than 20 for god’s sake.” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus just yawned.&lt;br /&gt;
“and she has  nothing,  I cant just tell to stay with me and then kick her out. What should I do?” &lt;br /&gt;
Fergus had  fallen asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
“good Idea.” Johnny said as he turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
*&lt;br /&gt;
	The next morning Johnny was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Stephanie walked in.&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning.” She said.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny looked up over the paper. “good morning.” He said, “sleep ok?”&lt;br /&gt;
“fine thanks.”  She said “you?”&lt;br /&gt;
“ok. You want something to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;
“no thanks,”&lt;br /&gt;
“Coffee?”&lt;br /&gt;
“yes pleas.” &lt;br /&gt;
She took a seat as Johnny got the coffee.  When he sat back down, she thanked him for the coffee and was silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Ten minutes later, she put down the coffee and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
“how is it that  you are able to help all these people?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
“what?”&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you help these people, you don’t seem lick someone who has been transformed before. “&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put down the paper and sighed. “kid, I was once a were-wolf.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “really?”&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny nodded “yep, I got hit with a curse in the Amazon  while on a adventure. I was the only one who got out of there.” &lt;br /&gt;
“so, um.. are you still a were-wolf?”&lt;br /&gt;
“no, When I got back, Andy was able to reverse the curse.”&lt;br /&gt;
Stephanie’s eyes seemed to brighten “so is there any chance I could  be changed back?”&lt;br /&gt;
_ah damn it _ Johnny thought. “um…no, I was cursed. What happened to you was natural, sorry.” &lt;br /&gt;
Her face fell. She put her head on the table and begun to sob.&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t cry, it’s not so bad….”&lt;br /&gt;
She pushed his hand off and run up stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
“ah, damn it.” Johnny said and looked down at Fergus who was sitting  under the table waiting for some food  to fall down. “why don’t you go try to comfort her?” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
Fergus barked once and ran upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
“ good boy” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
The phone rang. &lt;br /&gt;
“hello?” Johnny said in to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny” Andy said “we have a problem at work. You have to come in now…”&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;[James Midnight in the curse of the were-people]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
We crouched behind a large rock just long enough for me to re-load my gun. We were running from the two thing I never thought could even exist, the first one was a were-wolf , and the second one was some sort of were-dragon . I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I am getting ahead of myself, I should start from the beginning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is James Midnight, and when we started this journey, we had five members in our expedition , Steven Sharp, Helen Lutz , Johnny Dean, Rickey Clark, and of course, my-self. Our adventures took us to South America, in search of fortune and glory.  It was all Steven’s idea. At first I wanted no part of it, but when he came knocking at my door he was able convince me that the pay off would be worth the effort. He pulled out a map that he had gone to great expense to get. It showed a part of the Amazon that I had never seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This part of the jungle is said to be inhabited by a tribe of crazed natives that worshiped gods who took form of were-animals” he said. “ Only one man ever made it out of there, but when he was found  spouting out that  things about  being attacked by wolves and dragons,” he paused, “ he died soon after he was found due a stress related heart attack , but the strange thing is that there  were three long slashes across his chest which could be identified by….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, yah , enough with the hoc-us poke-us” I interrupted “ what is the pay off?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well there are supposed to be large stores of gold and diamonds here” Steve said pointing to a place on the map. “Unfortunately get to it we would have to sneak past their village and that wont be easy”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it were easy, you probably  wouldn’t be asking me to come,  but I’ve been felling bored lately so what the heck, I’ll do it.”  I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great, I’ll tell the others” Steve said happily &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wont be paying for their plane tickets this time, Right ?” I said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trip over was rather uneventful. After the flight, we meet up with the group at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, well if it isn’t Indiana  Jones.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I told you to stop calling me that.” I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“not until you lose the out fit” he was of course referring to my beige fedora and my weather beaten leather jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, lighten  up James, he’s only having a bit of fun.”  Helen said.  Helen and me go way back,  we first  met when she saved me from drowning in the  Nile  and we have been traveling together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine,” I said “were is Rick?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Over here guys “ came a voice from behind us. I turned and saw Rick hurrying towards us pulling two large suite cases  behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how’s it going Rick,” Johnny asked “that our arsenal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you know it”  and with that we all piled in to  a van hired to take us to a small town on the edge  of the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short van ride later, we got to the inn and we were standing around a gun covered bed going over  how many weapons and deciding who got  what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“did you remember my six-guns?” Johnny asked. Every time weapons were  involved with this kid it was either  six-guns or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I?” Rick said with a pleased look as he pulled out a leather cloth wrapped around  something. Inside were  two colt .45 Peace Maker revolvers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow”  Johnny said “the gun that ruled the west”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The one and only” Rick said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were five 9mm pistols, one for each of us and since Johnny didn’t use  one I got two. There were also two high powered guns, a standard pump action  shotgun and  a long rifle.  Helen took the rifle and Steve took the shotgun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We split two rooms between the five of us  and with only two beds per room, one of us had to sleep on the floor . Helen and Johnny shared one room, so Steve, Rick and I drew straws to decide who got the floor, and of course I picked the shortest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning  we started our trek into the forest. For the first few days nothing was out of the ordinary, other the  feeling that someone was watching us.  On the fourth night I woke up to the sound of something going through the camp. I sat up, instinctively putting my hand on the butt of my gun , my eyes adjusting to the dim fire light just in time to see a wolf run away from the camp. It was only as I lay back down and begun to drift to sleep that I realized that there are no wolves in the Amazon. I  begun to worry , but before I  could think about it too much, I fell fast asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within  three more days we were in view of the small village, which meant that we were very close to our goal.  We got around the village without trouble, and  got to the temple without confrontation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem that we don’t need all these guns after all.” Steve said, standing a the mouth of the temple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temple  had the look of a decorated  mine entrance. The opening was surrounded by a golden colored rock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pyrite,” Rick said, examining it more closely “fools gold.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those tricky bastards” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We each put on  LED head lamps and started in to the temple. The walls were perfectly smooth and curved up in to the roof. The floor tilted  downwards slightly into the darkness. We started walking down and about half an hour later we reached  a left turn in the path. About five minutes after we  reached  two large doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I have no idea what is in there, so be ready.”  I said and quickly pushed the doors open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every one gasped at what they saw Inside, the room was well illuminated and full of diamonds and gold coins. We all rushed in and started greedily stuffing our bags. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You humans are all the same,…” we all froze, I looked around and was terrified to see a large creature in the shadows. Everyone turned around and  watched as the thing stepped in the light to revel a large Were-dragon with jet black scales all over his body. He had large white spikes growing from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He spoke with perfect English, “…greedy, arrogant and stupid.” At this he began to charge at  Helen. Johnny was the first one to react, pulling out both revolvers at lightning speed and pumping the were-dragon with twelve lead shots. The bullets seemed to do nothing more than piss him off because he turned and  ran towards Johnny. Once the dragon got to him,  Johnny  smashed it across the face with one of his guns. This caught  the dragon off guard and sent him stumbling backwards next to Helen. He turned and slashed her on the arm.  At this point  Steve had pulled out his  shot-gun and blasted him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“RUNNNNNNN!!!!” Steve yelled &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While getting out I yelled  “ there’s no time to go around , cut through the village”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one objected. Going through the village, I noticed that it was completely deserted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stopped a little bit after the village when we noticed that the dragon wasn’t  after us, at least not at the moment.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh.. guys?” Helen said  “shouldn’t a cut like this be bleeding?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that I actually  saw the wound. It was very deep and it was not bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should probably cover that so it doesn’t get infected” I said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I fill very woozy…” Helen said as she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Damn it!” Steve  yelled “ I forgot my bag  in the temple”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so?” said Johnny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that bag had our tent in it!” Steve yelled trying to keep his temper &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny started to say something, but was cut off  by a loud growl  coming  from Helen.  We were horrified to see several dark  purple  scales spreading away from her wound.  They covered her entire body within minuets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh god,” Steve said quietly, “gather your things, hurry before she wakes up.”   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her nose and upper mouth fused and pushed away from her face, and her breasts started to become smaller until they were gone. A thick long tail ripped out the back of her jeans and spikes started to grow from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. All her muscles began to bulge  and  in side her mouth her tongue became  long and forked at the tip.  Her feet  elongated her toes fused until there  were only three left on each foot. Long claws  appeared on each toe  and one on each heel, the same pattern appeared on her  hands as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok,” I  whispered  “ lets get the hell out of here.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After twenty minutes of walking I pulled  out a  cigarette and lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought that you quit.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I did” I said  “I only do this when I am stressed”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ wow if I were you, I would  have been puffing away a long time ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never had chance to” I said, blowing smoke in Johnny’s face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve stopped and dropped his bags &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think this is a good place to stop.” Steve said “she obviously isn’t following us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all agreed. We tried to set up camp with what little we had among us; one can of beans, three blankets and one flint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We built a small camp fire and began to eat our beans. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Its growing dark,” Steve said “one of us should keep watch”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“but who?” Rick asked &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well,” I said, looking at my watch, it was 8:15, “if we leave at eight-thirty tomorrow, that gives us twelve hours of sleep, so we can each keep watch for three hours.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We drew straws to choose the order,  I  chose the shortest so I was first to watch, Rick was second Johnny was third and Steve was fourth .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After doing my shift, I was awakened from a dreamless sleep by a terrified scream. I jumped up as I saw Johnny being dragged off in to the woods by a  large were-wolf. I wasn’t  able to get to him before  he was dragged in to the darkness. None of us were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We herd some brief struggling, a yell of pain from Johnny, eleven shots erupted from his revolvers, a howl of agony from the were-wolf and then the sound of something running away fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny, you all right?” I yelled out in to the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, it bit me.” Johnny’s voice responded,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hang on buddy were coming for you” I yelled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t even think about it Midnight, I don’t want you to see what I am about to do...  Good-bye.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click, a short pause, then, Click, Clik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh god” Johnny said, voice trembling “it’s jammed,  no, noo, nooooooooooooooawoooooo” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing his turn scream in to a howl was probably the hardest thing for me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we have to get out of here,”  Rick said “before they get us all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily for us Johnny did not seem to be able to follow our trail. If he were, we would most certainly all be dead.  Walking through the wood at night with just our head lamps was absolutely treacherous, (running was out of the question, due to the fact that we were  traveling through the forest at the dead of night.)  We were making pretty good time, and trying to figure were to go next.  We decided to keep going north with the hope of reaching the small town from which we started this damn journey, then  Rick fell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was dark so no one  was really sure what happened.  All we knew was that his leg was broken. He shined his lamp down and revelled that the bone was protruding right through the skin.  He seemed to be handling the whole thing very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well… I think it’s obvious what happens.” Rick said calmly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ yah, we pick you up and we carry you” Steve said quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, you go, I stay.” Rick paused “get out with your lives”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No,”  I said “were not losing another person”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ that dragon was right” Rick said chuckling “you are stupid.” We all herd something approaching.  “do you  really believe that I am going to get out of here alive?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“are you sure?” Steve said  “ you don’t have to do this Ricky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am positive… now get out of here,  before they catch you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you, Rick.” I said tears slipping down my face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they changed or killed him, they did it silently, for we herd no noise what so ever.  Walking as fast as we could through the heavy brush. After walking fro a few hours we  stumbled upon  a cave deep enough  for us to sleep in for  a little while with out being noticed by someone or something  walking by.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We flipped a coin  to deicide who would keep watch first, I won so I got to sleep first.  Steve woke me three hours later and said that it was his turn to sleep. Grumbling, I got up made my self a cold cup of coffee (we weren’t lighting fires in the cave for safety reasons) picked up the shotgun, sat with ma back against a rock and watched over the mouth of the cave. About two hours later  I was felling pretty confident that  at least Steve and I  would get out when I herd Steven groan in his sleep. I turned to check on him and immediately jumped up. The were-dragon had given  Steven  a kick in the  stomach resulting in a large  hole in his stomach. The wound was not bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How the hell did you get in here?!”  I yelled , cocking the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin spread across the dragon’s face. “ I snuck in whale your friend dozed  off,  and now, James Midnight  you and Steve here will become one of us .”  he said, his grin spreading in to a smile. “ but don’t worry,  its not so bad, just ask your friends over there” &lt;br /&gt;
I turned and saw Helen and Johnny step in front of the cave, Johnny still had one of his gun belts slung over his waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned back and the were-dragon started to laugh which turned my fear in to rage. I jumped over the rock and shoved the barrel of the shotgun in to his long  mouth and pulled the trigger. The were-dragon’s eyes  widened with surprise and he fell to the ground. Dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned around to shoot at the others but as I did I fell and the shotgun flew out of my hands. Getting to my feet,  I noticed that Helen and Johnny had already started advancing on us. I begun to shoot at them but on the third shot my one of my pistols jammed. I threw it to the side and shot of the other one. I crouched down behind the rock to reload.                              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and  ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn’t have time to respond, because when I  Looked down he hade already closed his eyes and was unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had the gun under my chine and was ready to end it all right there, when Johnny came up knocked the gun out of my hand and tried to cut me with his claws. I grabbed his wrists and tried to wrestle him to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Johnny,” I said trying to maintain the stalemate which we held “this isn’t who you are, you can fight this.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“shut it.” Johnny growled at  me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“have it your way” I said and kneed him in the solar plexus. He immediately  doubled over and I punched him in the head. Wahl I was taking care of that, Helen had come up behind me and ran her claws down my back leaving three long gashes. I stopped and yelled out in pain as I felt the claws cutting through my flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned and looked right in to her eyes. They were large reptilian eyes and saw no remorse in the deep red glare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had no time to react when she picked me up by the collar of my jacket and threw me against the caves wall. I hit my head on a rock and as I slumped down to the floor the last thing I remember seeing is my hat falling over  my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I woke up a few hours later feeling no pain whatsoever. I opened my eyes and was  confused to see  a long snout splitting my vision. I looked down at my self and realized what had happened. My entire body was  covered with dark blue scales, I felt around and found that I had a thick, long tail. On each hand I had thee fingers on the front and one on the back , each “finger” had one long claw protruding from it. I looked down and saw that the same pattern had formed on my feet.  My neck had lengthened and all my senses were sharper. I stood up and felt that all my muscles had grown and gotten stronger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ how do you feel James ?” asked a beautiful feminine voice  form behind me. I turned and saw Helen staring me in the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” I said, the word flowing easily from my mouth &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good” said Johnny “once Steve wakes up we can begin repopulating the world”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?” I said not really under standing the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“our new race was trapped in that temple, not protecting it,” Helen explained “And when we took that gold, we freed the were-wolf and the were-dragon from there prison.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh” I said still a little confused. Johnny put his hand on my shoulder and said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well James midnight, are you ready for your next adventure?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[James Midnight in the curse of the were-people]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
We crouched behind a large rock just long enough for me to re-load my gun. We were running from the two thing I never thought could even exist, the first one was a were-wolf , and the second one was some sort of were-dragon . I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I am getting ahead of myself, I should start from the beginning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is James Midnight, and when we started this journey, we had five members in our expedition , Steven Sharp, Helen Lutz , Johnny Dean, Rickey Clark, and of course, my-self. Our adventures took us to South America, in search of fortune and glory.  It was all Steven’s idea. At first I wanted no part of it, but when he came knocking at my door he was able convince me that the pay off would be worth the effort. He pulled out a map that he had gone to great expense to get. It showed a part of the Amazon that I had never seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This part of the jungle is said to be inhabited by a tribe of crazed natives that worshiped gods who took form of were-animals” he said. “ Only one man ever made it out of there, but when he was found  spouting out that  things about  being attacked by wolves and dragons,” he paused, “ he died soon after he was found due a stress related heart attack , but the strange thing is that there  were three long slashes across his chest which could be identified by….”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, yah , enough with the hoc-us poke-us” I interrupted “ what is the pay off?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well there are supposed to be large stores of gold and diamonds here” Steve said pointing to a place on the map. “Unfortunately get to it we would have to sneak past their village and that wont be easy”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it were easy, you probably  wouldn’t be asking me to come,  but I’ve been felling bored lately so what the heck, I’ll do it.”  I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great, I’ll tell the others” Steve said happily &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wont be paying for their plane tickets this time, Right ?” I said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trip over was rather uneventful. After the flight, we meet up with the group at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, well if it isn’t Indiana  Jones.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I told you to stop calling me that.” I said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“not until you lose the out fit” he was of course referring to my beige fedora and my weather beaten leather jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, lighten  up James, he’s only having a bit of fun.”  Helen said.  Helen and me go way back,  we first  met when she saved me from drowning in the  Nile  and we have been traveling together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine,” I said “were is Rick?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Over here guys “ came a voice from behind us. I turned and saw Rick hurrying towards us pulling two large suite cases  behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“how’s it going Rick,” Johnny asked “that our arsenal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“you know it”  and with that we all piled in to  a van hired to take us to a small town on the edge  of the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short van ride later, we got to the inn and we were standing around a gun covered bed going over  how many weapons and deciding who got  what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“did you remember my six-guns?” Johnny asked. Every time weapons were  involved with this kid it was either  six-guns or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I?” Rick said with a pleased look as he pulled out a leather cloth wrapped around  something. Inside were  two colt .45 Peace Maker revolvers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow”  Johnny said “the gun that ruled the west”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The one and only” Rick said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were five 9mm pistols, one for each of us and since Johnny didn’t use  one I got two. There were also two high powered guns, a standard pump action  shotgun and  a long rifle.  Helen took the rifle and Steve took the shotgun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We split two rooms between the five of us  and with only two beds per room, one of us had to sleep on the floor . Helen and Johnny shared one room, so Steve, Rick and I drew straws to decide who got the floor, and of course I picked the shortest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning  we started our trek into the forest. For the first few days nothing was out of the ordinary, other the  feeling that someone was watching us.  On the fourth night I woke up to the sound of something going through the camp. I sat up, instinctively putting my hand on the butt of my gun , my eyes adjusting to the dim fire light just in time to see a wolf run away from the camp. It was only as I lay back down and begun to drift to sleep that I realized that there are no wolves in the Amazon. I  begun to worry , but before I  could think about it too much, I fell fast asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within  three more days we were in view of the small village, which meant that we were very close to our goal.  We got around the village without trouble, and  got to the temple without confrontation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem that we don’t need all these guns after all.” Steve said, standing a the mouth of the temple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temple  had the look of a decorated  mine entrance. The opening was surrounded by a golden coloured rock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pyrite,” Rick said, examining it more closely “fools gold.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those tricky bastards” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We each put on  LED head lamps and started in to the temple. The walls were perfectly smooth and curved up in to the roof. The floor tilted  downwards slightly into the darkness. We started walking down and about half an hour later we reached  a left turn in the path. About five minutes after we  reached  two large doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I have no idea what is in there, so be ready.”  I said and quickly pushed the doors open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every one gasped at what they saw Inside, the room was well illuminated and full of diamonds and gold coins. We all rushed in and started greedily stuffing our bags. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You humans are all the same,…” we all froze, I looked around and was terrified to see a large creature in the shadows. Everyone turned around and  watched as the thing stepped in the light to revel a large Were-dragon with jet black scales all over his body. He had large white spikes growing from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He spoke with perfect English, “…greedy, arrogant and stupid.” At this he began to charge at  Helen. Johnny was the first one to react, pulling out both revolvers at lightning speed and pumping the were-dragon with twelve lead shots. The bullets seemed to do nothing more than piss him off because he turned and  ran towards Johnny. Once the dragon got to him,  Johnny  smashed it across the face with one of his guns. This caught  the dragon off guard and sent him stumbling backwards next to Helen. He turned and slashed her on the arm.  At this point  Steve had pulled out his  shot-gun and blasted him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“RUNNNNNNN!!!!” Steve yelled &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While getting out I yelled  “ there’s no time to go around , cut through the village”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one objected. Going through the village, I noticed that it was completely deserted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stopped a little bit after the village when we noticed that the dragon wasn’t  after us, at least not at the moment.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“uh.. guys?” Helen said  “shouldn’t a cut like this be bleeding?”  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that I actually  saw the wound. It was very deep and it was not bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should probably cover that so it doesn’t get infected” I said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I fill very woozy…” Helen said as she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Damn it!” Steve  yelled “ I forgot my bag  in the temple”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“so?” said Johnny&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“that bag had our tent in it!” Steve yelled trying to keep his temper &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johnny started to say something, but was cut off  by a loud growl  coming  from Helen.  We were horrified to see several dark  purple  scales spreading away from her wound.  They covered her entire body within minuets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh god,” Steve said quietly, “gather your things, hurry before she wakes up.”   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her nose and upper mouth fused and pushed away from her face, and her breasts started to become smaller until they were gone. A thick long tail ripped out the back of her jeans and spikes started to grow from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. All her muscles began to bulge  and  in side her mouth her tongue became  long and forked at the tip.  Her feet  elongated her toes fused until there  were only three left on each foot. Long claws  appeared on each toe  and one on each heel, the same pattern appeared on her  hands as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ok,” I  whispered  “ lets get the hell out of here.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After twenty minutes of walking I pulled  out a  cigarette and lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought that you quit.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I did” I said  “I only do this when I am stressed”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ wow if I were you, I would  have been puffing away a long time ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never had chance to” I said, blowing smoke in Johnny’s face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve stopped and dropped his bags &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think this is a good place to stop.” Steve said “she obviously isn’t following us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all agreed. We tried to set up camp with what little we had among us; one can of beans, three blankets and one flint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We built a small camp fire and began to eat our beans. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Its growing dark,” Steve said “one of us should keep watch”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“but who?” Rick asked &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well,” I said, looking at my watch, it was 8:15, “if we leave at eight-thirty tomorrow, that gives us twelve hours of sleep, so we can each keep watch for three hours.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We drew straws to choose the order,  I  chose the shortest so I was first to watch, Rick was second Johnny was third and Steve was fourth .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After doing my shift, I was awakened from a dreamless sleep by a terrified scream. I jumped up as I saw Johnny being dragged off in to the woods by a  large were-wolf. I wasn’t  able to get to him before  he was dragged in to the darkness. None of us were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We herd some brief struggling, a yell of pain from Johnny, eleven shots erupted from his revolvers, a howl of agony from the were-wolf and then the sound of something running away fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny, you all right?” I yelled out in to the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, it bit me.” Johnny’s voice responded,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“hang on buddy were coming for you” I yelled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t even think about it Midnight, I don’t want you to see what I am about to do...  Good-bye.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click, a short pause, then, Click, Clik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh god” Johnny said, voice trembling “it’s jammed,  no, noo, nooooooooooooooawoooooo” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing his turn scream in to a howl was probably the hardest thing for me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“we have to get out of here,”  Rick said “before they get us all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily for us Johnny did not seem to be able to follow our trail. If he were, we would most certainly all be dead.  Walking through the wood at night with just our head lamps was absolutely treacherous, (running was out of the question, due to the fact that we were  traveling through the forest at the dead of night.)  We were making pretty good time, and trying to figure were to go next.  We decided to keep going north with the hope of reaching the small town from which we started this damn journey, then  Rick fell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was dark so no one  was really sure what happened.  All we knew was that his leg was broken. He shined his lamp down and revelled that the bone was protruding right through the skin.  He seemed to be handling the whole thing very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well… I think it’s obvious what happens.” Rick said calmly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ yah, we pick you up and we carry you” Steve said quickly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“no, you go, I stay.” Rick paused “get out with your lives”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No,”  I said “were not losing another person”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ that dragon was right” Rick said chuckling “you are stupid.” We all herd something approaching.  “do you  really believe that I am going to get out of here alive?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“are you sure?” Steve said  “ you don’t have to do this Ricky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am positive… now get out of here,  before they catch you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you, Rick.” I said tears slipping down my face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they changed or killed him, they did it silently, for we herd no noise what so ever.  Walking as fast as we could through the heavy brush. After walking fro a few hours we  stumbled upon  a cave deep enough  for us to sleep in for  a little while with out being noticed by someone or something  walking by.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We flipped a coin  to deicide who would keep watch first, I won so I got to sleep first.  Steve woke me three hours later and said that it was his turn to sleep. Grumbling, I got up made my self a cold cup of coffee (we weren’t lighting fires in the cave for safety reasons) picked up the shotgun, sat with ma back against a rock and watched over the mouth of the cave. About two hours later  I was felling pretty confident that  at least Steve and I  would get out when I herd Steven groan in his sleep. I turned to check on him and immediately jumped up. The were-dragon had given  Steven  a kick in the  stomach resulting in a large  hole in his stomach. The wound was not bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How the hell did you get in here?!”  I yelled , cocking the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin spread across the dragon’s face. “ I snuck in whale your friend dozed  off,  and now, James Midnight  you and Steve here will become one of us .”  he said, his grin spreading in to a smile. “ but don’t worry,  its not so bad, just ask your friends over there” &lt;br /&gt;
I turned and saw Helen and Johnny step in front of the cave, Johnny still had one of his gun belts slung over his waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned back and the were-dragon started to laugh which turned my fear in to rage. I jumped over the rock and shoved the barrel of the shotgun in to his long  mouth and pulled the trigger. The were-dragon’s eyes  widened with surprise and he fell to the ground. Dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned around to shoot at the others but as I did I fell and the shotgun flew out of my hands. Getting to my feet,  I noticed that Helen and Johnny had already started advancing on us. I begun to shoot at them but on the third shot my one of my pistols jammed. I threw it to the side and shot of the other one. I crouched down behind the rock to reload.                              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and  ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn’t have time to respond, because when I  Looked down he hade already closed his eyes and was unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had the gun under my chine and was ready to end it all right there, when Johnny came up knocked the gun out of my hand and tried to cut me with his claws. I grabbed his wrists and tried to wrestle him to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ Johnny,” I said trying to maintain the stalemate which we held “this isn’t who you are, you can fight this.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“shut it.” Johnny growled at  me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“have it your way” I said and kneed him in the solar plexus. He immediately  doubled over and I punched him in the head. Wahl I was taking care of that, Helen had come up behind me and ran her claws down my back leaving three long gashes. I stopped and yelled out in pain as I felt the claws cutting through my flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I turned and looked right in to her eyes. They were large reptilian eyes and saw no remorse in the deep red glare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had no time to react when she picked me up by the collar of my jacket and threw me against the caves wall. I hit my head on a rock and as I slumped down to the floor the last thing I remember seeing is my hat falling over  my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I woke up a few hours later feeling no pain whatsoever. I opened my eyes and was  confused to see  a long snout splitting my vision. I looked down at my self and realized what had happened. My entire body was  covered with dark blue scales, I felt around and found that I had a thick, long tail. On each hand I had thee fingers on the front and one on the back , each “finger” had one long claw protruding from it. I looked down and saw that the same pattern had formed on my feet.  My neck had lengthened and all my senses were sharper. I stood up and felt that all my muscles had grown and gotten stronger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ how do you feel James ?” asked a beautiful feminine voice  form behind me. I turned and saw Helen staring me in the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“fine.” I said, the word flowing easily from my mouth &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well, good” said Johnny “once Steve wakes up we can begin repopulating the world”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“what?” I said not really under standing the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“our new race was trapped in that temple, not protecting it,” Helen explained “And when we took that gold, we freed the were-wolf and the were-dragon from there prison.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“oh” I said still a little confused. Johnny put his hand on my shoulder and said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“well James midnight, are you ready for your next adventure?”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[James Midnight&lt;br /&gt;
    in &lt;br /&gt;
the curse of the were-people]&lt;br /&gt;
 “ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
We crouched behind a large rock just long enough for me to re-load my gun. We were running from the two thing I never thought could even exist, the first one was a were-wolf , and the second one was some sort of were-dragon . I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 But I am getting ahead of myself, I should start from the beginning…&lt;br /&gt;
      My name is James Midnight, and when we started this journey, we had five members in our expedition , Steven Sharp, Helen Lutz , Johnny Dean, Rickey Clark, and of course, my-self. Our adventures took us to South America, in search of fortune and glory.  It was all Steven’s idea. At first I wanted no part of it, but when he came knocking at my door he was able convince me that the pay off would be worth the effort. He pulled out a map that he had gone to great expense to get. It showed a part of the Amazon that I had never seen.&lt;br /&gt;
“This part of the jungle is said to be inhabited by a tribe of crazed natives that worshiped gods who took form of were-animals” he said. “ Only one man ever made it out of there, but when he was found  spouting out that  things about  being attacked by wolves and dragons,” he paused, “ he died soon after he was found due a stress related heart attack , but the strange thing is that there  were three long slashes across his chest which could be identified by….”&lt;br /&gt;
“yah, yah , enough with the hoc-us poke-us” I interrupted “ what is the pay off?”&lt;br /&gt;
“well there are supposed to be large stores of gold and diamonds here” Steve said pointing to a place on the map. “Unfortunately get to it we would have to sneak past their village and that wont be easy”&lt;br /&gt;
“If it were easy, you probably  wouldn’t be asking me to come,  but I’ve been felling bored lately so what the heck, I’ll do it.”  I said&lt;br /&gt;
 “Great, I’ll tell the others” Steve said happily &lt;br /&gt;
 “I wont be paying for their plane tickets this time, Right ?” I said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trip over was rather uneventful. After the flight, we meet up with the group at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, well if it isn’t Indiana  Jones.” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
“I told you to stop calling me that.” I said&lt;br /&gt;
“not until you lose the out fit” he was of course referring to my beige fedora and my weather beaten leather jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, lighten  up James, he’s only having a bit of fun.”  Helen said.  Helen and me go way back,  we first  met when she saved me from drowning in the  Nile  and we have been traveling together ever since .&lt;br /&gt;
“fine,” I said “were is Rick?”  &lt;br /&gt;
“Over here guys “ came a voice from behind us. I turned and saw Rick hurrying towards us pulling two large suite cases  behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
“how’s it going Rick,” Johnny asked “that our arsenal?”&lt;br /&gt;
 “ you know it”  and with that we all piled in to  a van hired to take us to a small town on the edge  of the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short van ride later, we got to the inn and we were standing around a gun covered bed going over  how many weapons and deciding who got  what.&lt;br /&gt;
“did you remember my six-guns?” Johnny asked. Every time weapons were  involved with this kid it was either  six-guns or nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I?” Rick said with a pleased look as he pulled out a leather cloth wrapped around  something. Inside were  two colt .45 Peace Maker revolvers.&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow”  Johnny said “the gun that ruled the west”&lt;br /&gt;
“The one and only” Rick said. &lt;br /&gt;
There were five 9mm pistols, one for each of us and since Johnny didn’t use  one I got two. There were also two high powered guns, a standard pump action  shotgun and  a long rifle.  Helen took the rifle and Steve took the shotgun.&lt;br /&gt;
 We split two rooms between the five of us  and with only two beds per room, one of us had to sleep on the floor . Helen and Johnny shared one room, so Steve, Rick and I drew straws to decide who got the floor, and of course I picked the shortest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	 The next morning  we started our trek into the forest. For the first few days nothing was out of the ordinary, other the  feeling that someone was watching us.  On the fourth night I woke up to the sound of something going through the camp. I sat up, instinctively putting my hand on the butt of my gun , my eyes adjusting to the dim fire light just in time to see a wolf run away from the camp. It was only as I lay back down and begun to drift to sleep that I realized that there are no wolves in the Amazon. I  begun to worry , but before I  could think about it too much, I fell fast asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within  three more days we were in view of the small village, which meant that we were very close to our goal.  We got around the village without trouble, and  got to the temple without confrontation. &lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem that we don’t need all these guns after all.” Steve said, standing a the mouth of the temple. &lt;br /&gt;
The temple  had the look of a decorated  mine entrance. The opening was surrounded by a golden coloured rock.&lt;br /&gt;
“Pyrite,” Rick said, examining it more closely “fools gold.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Those tricky bastards” Johnny said.&lt;br /&gt;
We each put on  LED head lamps and started in to the temple. The walls were perfectly smooth and curved up in to the roof. The floor tilted  downwards slightly into the darkness. We started walking down and about half an hour later we reached  a left turn in the path. About five minutes after we  reached  two large doors.&lt;br /&gt;
“ I have no idea what is in there, so be ready.”  I said and quickly pushed the doors open.&lt;br /&gt;
Every one gasped at what they saw Inside, the room was well illuminated and full of diamonds and gold coins. We all rushed in and started greedily stuffing our bags. &lt;br /&gt;
“You humans are all the same,…” we all froze, I looked around and was terrified to see a large creature in the shadows. Everyone turned around and  watched as the thing stepped      &lt;br /&gt;
in the light to revel a large Were-dragon with jet black scales all over his body. He had large white spikes growing from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. He spoke with perfect English, “…greedy, arrogant and stupid.” At this he began to charge at  Helen. Johnny was the first one to react, pulling out both revolvers at lightning speed and pumping the were-dragon with twelve lead shots. The bullets seemed to do nothing more than piss him off because he turned and  ran towards Johnny. Once the dragon got to him,  Johnny  smashed it across the face with one of his guns. This caught  the dragon off guard and sent him stumbling backwards next to Helen. He turned and slashed her on the arm.  At this point  Steve had pulled out his  shot-gun and blasted him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
“RUNNNNNNN!!!!” Steve yelled &lt;br /&gt;
While getting out I yelled  “ there’s no time to go around , cut through the village”&lt;br /&gt;
No one objected. Going through the village, I noticed that it was completely deserted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stopped a little bit after the village when we noticed that the dragon wasn’t  after us, at least not at the moment.  &lt;br /&gt;
“uh.. guys?” Helen said  “shouldn’t a cut like this be bleeding?”  &lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that I actually  saw the wound. It was very deep and it was not bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;
 “We should probably cover that so it doesn’t get infected” I said &lt;br /&gt;
“I fill very woozy…” Helen said as she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
“ Damn it!” Steve  yelled “ I forgot my bag  in the temple”&lt;br /&gt;
“so?” said Johnny&lt;br /&gt;
“that bag had our tent in it!” Steve yelled trying to keep his temper &lt;br /&gt;
Johnny started to say something, but was cut off  by a loud growl  coming  from Helen.  We were horrified to see several dark  purple  scales spreading away from her wound.  They covered her entire body within minuets.&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh god,” Steve said quietly, “gather your things, hurry before she wakes up.”   &lt;br /&gt;
 Her nose and upper mouth fused and pushed away from her face, and her breasts started to become smaller until they were gone. A thick long tail ripped out the back of her jeans and spikes started to grow from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. All her muscles began to bulge  and  in side her mouth her tongue became  long and forked at the tip.  Her feet  elongated her toes fused until there  were only three left on each foot. Long claws  appeared on each toe  and one on each heel, the same pattern appeared on her  hands as well.&lt;br /&gt;
“ok,” I  whispered  “ lets get the hell out of here.” &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  After twenty minutes of walking I pulled  out a  cigarette and lit up.&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought that you quit.” Johnny said &lt;br /&gt;
“I did” I said  “I only do this when I am stressed”&lt;br /&gt;
“ wow if I were you, I would  have been puffing away a long time ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
“I never had chance to” I said, blowing smoke in Johnny’s face&lt;br /&gt;
Steve stopped and dropped his bags &lt;br /&gt;
“I think this is a good place to stop.” Steve said “she obviously isn’t following us.”&lt;br /&gt;
We all agreed. We tried to set up camp with what little we had among us; one can of        beans, three blankets and one flint.&lt;br /&gt;
	We built a small camp fire and begun to eat our beans. &lt;br /&gt;
“Its growing dark,” Steve said “one of us should keep watch”&lt;br /&gt;
“but who?” Rick asked &lt;br /&gt;
“well,” I said, looking at my watch, it was 8:15, “if we leave at eight-thirty tomorrow, that gives us twelve hours of sleep, so we can each keep watch for three hours.”&lt;br /&gt;
We drew straws to choose the order,  I  chose the shortest so I was first to watch, Rick was second Johnny was third and Steve was fourth .&lt;br /&gt;
 After doing my shift, I was awakened from a dreamless sleep by a terrified scream. I jumped up as I saw Johnny being dragged off in to the woods by a  large were-wolf. I wasn’t  able to get to him before  he was dragged in to the darkness. None of us were.&lt;br /&gt;
We herd some brief struggling, a yell of pain from Johnny, eleven shots erupted from his revolvers, a howl of agony from the were-wolf and then the sound of something running away fast.&lt;br /&gt;
“Johnny, you all right?” I yelled out in to the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
“no, it bit me.” Johnny’s voice responded,   &lt;br /&gt;
“hang on buddy were coming for you” I yelled&lt;br /&gt;
“don’t even think about it Midnight, I don’t want you to see what I am about to do...  Good-bye.” &lt;br /&gt;
Click, a short pause, then, Click, Clik.&lt;br /&gt;
“oh god” Johnny said, voice trembling “it’s jammed,  no, noo, nooooooooooooooawoooooo” &lt;br /&gt;
Hearing his turn scream in to a howl was probably the hardest thing for me. &lt;br /&gt;
“we have to get out of here,”  Rick said “before they get us all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Luckily for us Johnny did not seem to be able to follow our trail. If he were, we would most certainly all be dead.  Walking through the wood at night with just our head lamps was absolutely treacherous, (running was out of the question, due to the fact that we were  traveling through the forest at the dead of night.)  We were making pretty good time, and trying to figure were to go next.  We decided to keep going north with the hope of reaching the small town from which we started this damn journey, then  Rick fell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	It was dark so no one  was really sure what happened.  All we knew was that his leg was broken. He shined his lamp down and revelled that the bone was protruding right through the skin.  He seemed to be handling the whole thing very well.&lt;br /&gt;
“well… I think it’s obvious what happens.” Rick said calmly&lt;br /&gt;
“ yah, we pick you up and we carry you” Steve said quickly&lt;br /&gt;
“no, you go, I stay.” Rick paused “get out with your lives”&lt;br /&gt;
“No,”  I said “were not losing another person”&lt;br /&gt;
“ that dragon was right” Rick said chuckling “you are stupid.” We all herd something approaching.  “do you  really believe that I am going to get out of here alive?”&lt;br /&gt;
“are you sure?” Steve said  “ you don’t have to do this Ricky.”&lt;br /&gt;
“I am positive… now get out of here,  before they catch you.”&lt;br /&gt;
“thank you, Rick.” I said tears slipping down my face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they changed or killed him, they did it silently, for we herd no noise what so ever.  Walking as fast as we could through the heavy brush. After walking fro a few hours we  stumbled upon  a cave deep enough  for us to sleep in for  a little while with out being noticed by someone or something  walking by.    &lt;br /&gt;
     We flipped a coin  to deicide who would keep watch first, I won so I got to sleep first.  Steve woke me three hours later and said that it was his turn to sleep. Grumbling, I got up made my self a cold cup of coffee (we weren’t lighting fires in the cave for safety reasons) picked up the shotgun, sat with ma back against a rock and watched over the mouth of the cave. About two hours later  I was felling pretty confident that  at least Steve and I  would get out when I herd Steven groan in his sleep. I turned to check on him and immediately jumped up. The were-dragon had given  Steven  a kick in the  stomach resulting in a large  hole in his stomach. The wound was not bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
“How the hell did you get in here?!”  I yelled , cocking the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
A grin spread across the dragon’s face. “ I snuck in whale your friend dozed  off,  and now, James Midnight  you and Steve here will become one of us .”  he said, his grin spreading in to a smile. “ but don’t worry,  its not so bad, just ask your friends over there” &lt;br /&gt;
I turned and saw Helen and Johnny step in front of the cave, Johnny still had one of his gun belts slung over his waste.&lt;br /&gt;
I turned back and the were-dragon started to laugh which turned my fear in to rage. I jumped over the rock and shoved the barrel of the shotgun in to his long  mouth and pulled the trigger. The were-dragon’s eyes  widened with surprise and he fell to the ground. Dead.&lt;br /&gt;
I turned around to shoot at the others but as I did I fell and the shotgun flew out of my hands. Getting to my feet,  I noticed that Helen and Johnny had already started advancing on us. I begun to shoot at them but on the third shot my one of my pistols jammed. I threw it to the side and shot of the other one. I crouched down behind the rock to reload.                              &lt;br /&gt;
“ I knew right from the beginning that this was a bad idea,” I muttered to Steven   “ right from the moment  we started.”&lt;br /&gt;
 I spun up and shot my pistol over the rock at our two predators, but in the poor light , I was not able to hit either targets and  ended up wasting 5 shots .&lt;br /&gt;
“James, I….I am sorry” Steve sputtered clutching the wound in his stomach, caused by  the were-dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
I didn’t have time to respond, because when I  Looked down he hade already closed his eyes and was unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;
I had the gun under my chine and was ready to end it all right there, when Johnny came up knocked the gun out of my hand and tried to cut me with his claws. I grabbed his wrists and tried to wrestle him to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
“ Johnny,” I said trying to maintain the stalemate which we held “this isn’t who you are, you can fight this.” &lt;br /&gt;
“shut it.” Johnny growled at  me .&lt;br /&gt;

“well, good” said Johnny “once Steve wakes up we can begin repopulating the world”&lt;br /&gt;
“what?” I said not really under standing the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
