>What a stupid idea this whole thing was

>Hiking into the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, trying to sneak into an abandoned mental asylum to get some nice urbex photos and brag to all your friends, maybe bring back a souvenir or two

>But then you made it all the way there only to find several security guards patrolling the perimeter!

>No doubt someone else was caught trying to explore the place and they upped their security

>Sure, you could have tried to figure out their patrol pattern and sneaked in anyway but you're no daredevil

>You continue to trudge forward through the forest on the way to your car, head full of disappointment and backpack sadly devoid of loot

>Whatever, maybe you'll come back later when whatever property owners that own the place get tired of paying a few rent a cops to do nothing but walk around and scare off dumb teenagers

>Or better yet, why not just explore some place else next time?

>Ya, like that old mine out in the mountains, or maybe the school way downtown, or maybe-

>*CRACK*

>Spooked by the sudden noise you bring your flashlight downward

>Multiple yellowed bones lay by your feet, scattered as if disturbed by a wild animal

>Could they be human?

>The presence of a deer skull with a set of antlers disproves that theory

>You pick up one of the larger bones and give it a lookover

>It's pretty long and solid, probably from one of it's legs

>You decide to take it home with you, maybe you can convince your friends you did in fact make into the asylum and found it laying in the morgue or something cool like that

>Bone in hand you begin trudging through the forest once again

>Owls hoot, branches crack, the full moon shines through the trees

>It's equal parts creepy and pretty outside, not that you minded the creepy parts

>It just made the journey to your car feel more titillating

>Unfortunately you wouldn't get to enjoy it for much longer though, you ought to be nearing where you car is parked

>You push through a couple of bushes and-

>Two bright yellow dots stare at you from afar

>You shine your flashlight at them but it proves too dim to let you see who owned those intimidating pair of eyes

>A wolf? Bear? Or just a deer?

>Whatever the case they seemed to be getting closer

>The closest thing you have to a weapon is the bone so you bring it up for a swing and-

>Jesus fucking christ Anon!

>It just slipped through your fingers and landed somewhere behind you

>You do a double take and yep, butterfingers at the worst possible moment

>Typical

>Now weaponless you see the yellow eyes grow larger and larger, the sound of heavy paws slamming against the ground growing closer

>Scared shitless you try with the one tactic you have left, harsh language

>"Stay back! Don't get any closer! I don't even taste good! Fuck off!"

>Yet the eyes get closer still

>Soon your flashlight manages to pick up the strange animal and it's a-it's a-it's a FUCKING WEREWOLF!

>You girlishly scream and throw yourself to the side as the beast pounces towards you

>It lands somewhere behind your position and you cower in fear on the damp ground

>You hear it rummage around for a bit and you slowly roll over onto your back

>The thought of running away while it's distracted briefly enters your mind but it's quickly squashed as the beast jumps on top of you, pinning your shoulders to the ground with two large paws

>The werewolf stares at you with the bone you found earlier in between it's jaws, sharp white teeth glistening in the moonlight

>It growls, then drops the bone onto your chest

>It leans in and points a single clawed finger at you

>"Racist." She accuses

>"…what?"

>"You're a racist. Thinking that just because I look like a dog that you can distract me with a bone. If I were in my human form you wouldn't have done that."

>You stay silent for a few seconds in shock before responding

>"I am not! I have plenty of werewolf friends. In fact my girlfriend is a werewolf!"

>"For some reason I doubt that." She says with a chuckle. “If that were true then you would know better than to explore strange forests in the middle of the night while carrying bones full of juicy marrow."

>She picks up the bone with her jaws and snaps it in two with little effort, fragments falling onto your chest

>"Listen lady, you just broke the only good thing I found in this godforsaken forest so could you please get the hell off of me?"

>"No. You should be punished for entering my domain unannounced and daring to steal a bone like that from me. If it's in my forest then it's my property, understood?"

>"Your forest? This land belongs to the government. Stop it with this whole 'your domain' crap."

>Her head recoils back at your response

>"S-shut up. It's my domain and that's that! Now how should I punish you?" She puts a paw up to her chin and thinks for a bit before lowering it. “Maybe I'll bite you and turn you into a Lycan, like me. The bite is pretty painful, and you'll be cursed to transform into a canine beast every full moon, but there are certain…benefits."

>You cross your arms with a huff

>"Absolutely not."

>"…why not?"

>You think up a quick lie

>"I'm allergic to dog hair. If you did that then all I would turn into is a sniffling pathetic excuse for a werewolf every full moon. I'm okay with weretiger, werebear, or weredragon though."

>"I…I can't…it doesn't work that way you idiot. You're becoming a werewolf. It's decided."

>Her jaws move towards your shoulder and you grab them with both hands

>"No…I…have…allergies!" You manage to say between labored groans

>With her jaws slowly approaching your shoulder you quickly reach over and grab one half of the bone she bit in two

>You then forcefully bop her on the head with it

>She rolls over and grabs her forehead, groaning in pain

>"Ow! You dick! I was just having some fun."

>You stand up and point a stern finger at her

>"You have any idea how expensive those allergy pills are these days? You are not turning me into a dog every month! I'll be poor and destitute in less than a year!"

>The beast stands up still holding her forehead, a defeated tone in her voice

>"Oh screw you." She says with a wave of her paw. “You're too much trouble. Being a werewolf is pretty cool you know. But now I guess you'll never get to find out!"

>She begins walking away

>"Ya? Well good! I didn't want to be one anyway! Bone breath!"

>"Racist!" She shouts over her shoulder

>You throw the half bone towards her and she begins running after it, some primal instinct still making her want to catch things

>Fearing her reprisal you begin sprinting towards your car, thankfully finding it just a few minutes later

>You throw open the door and sling your backpack into the back before climbing into the drivers seat

>"You're finally back, find anything cool?"

>You look to the passenger seat to find another wolfy beast staring right at you, she rubs the sleep from her eyes and yawns

>Your girlfriend is always so cute when she's in Lycan form

>"No, they upped their security."

>She leans towards you and sniffs your shoulder

>"I smell another werewolf on you. What happened?"

>"Uhg, some total bitch tried to turn me into a Lycan out there. Said that part of the forest was her domain or some crap."

>"Heh, the wilder ones always try to pull stuff like that."

>"I know right? I told her I have werewolf friends and I knew I didn't want to be one but she didn't even believe me. I had to fight her off."

>"Unbelievable. The absolute nerve of some people."

>"Right, so you want to get some breakfast after the sun comes up?"

>"Absolutely."
