Duke and Speedy are friends for ages. On one evening, Duke get's invite at Speedies cabin.
Right on the photo, the real Speedy, on the left is his BF Wilfried. Two of my own plushes.
It was a cold, snowy day when Duke walks to one of his best friends. When show swirl arround his feets when he walk to the forrest. His friend Speedy lives there on his own for as long Duke can think of it. Even when they met as childeren, he told Duke about his secret cabin in the forrest, close to a river. They first met in the super market, Duke lost his mother while shopping in the market. First Duke was scared and fasinated from the man-liked boy. Speedy was big, muscled and super friendly. He pets the lill boy, put him on his shoulder and walk as long till they found his mother. She thanked his big. From that day, they where friends. It was like Speedy always knew where Duke was, or when he need a shoulder to cry on. He was there. When Duke turn 16, Speedy told him about his secret cabin. 'Your always welcome.': he say. Duke stopts in front of a tree. It seems old. Duke look around and walk around the tree. He walks for a couple of minutes when he see an old gate, complete covered with rust. He walk threw it and see the light sine from the cabin. He knock the knocker in the shape of a leopard head, Speddy's favorite aninal. Speedy emediatly opens the door.
'Hey Duke. Glad you could come. Come in.' The cabin of Speedy was lighted with lightbulbs. He get's power from a waterwheel nearby the waterfall. Speedy walk to a freezer and throw Duke a can of cola.
'Thanx for invite me. I needed it. It was a harsh week.'
'I know man.': Speedy whisper.
Duke rease with eyebrows 'What do you mean?'
'Oh, nothing. Euh... What you think of a walk in the forrest? The lake is beautiful now.'
'Yeah, sure.'
They walk outside and Speedy leads Duke to the lake. Thanks to the moon, Duke could see the white snow glittering on the trees and ground. Suddenly, he see something in the snow: paw prints. Duke kneel to see them better.
'Hey Speedy, do you know what these are?'
'Euh... I think they just from some sort of animal.'
'Hmm, pretty big animal. Nothing dangerous I hope.'
'I'm sure not. None of the animal are attack out of nothing.'
They walk to the lake. It was on an open spot in the middle of the forrest. Duke could see the full moon glittering in the water. He walks to it.
'This is beautiful. Thanks to let me see this spot Speedy... Euh.. Speedy?'
Duke turns, after he hear a strange sound. With scared eyes and sweat on his forhead, Speedy looks to the full moon. He rattled and sigh.
'Are you feel alright budd?'
Suddnly Speedy makes are hard sound, something like an animal roar. He feels on his knees and his body starts to change. His muscles blow up, his face shapeshift into a snout with big teeths and a big nose. His ears growth to point triangles. His hands and feets become dangerous claws. Then his skin start to change, it change from collor, to a nice yellow one, with black dots. Duke reallise it was fur when a long, soft tail sprout out of his friends butt. His clothes rip and show his furred body. The new transformed wereleopard roars to the moon. Then he looks to Duke, with his green glittering eyes. Suddenly Duke wakes up. He turn and starts to run, threw the forrest. He must escape from the beast, even he knew he has no change. He try not to look when he hear the four deadly paws on the ground. He runs, withthe devil on his heals.
