Quinn
The doctor shone a small flashlight in my eye as janet and her brother sat in the available chairs in the room. "It seems perfectly fine and scratchless." He examined my body. "But I will need to run a blood test." Just then I heard someone screaming my name. Janet sighed. "Drama queen is here." I laugh a bit waiting for the person to burst open the door. "Ha ah, I told you!!" My mother yelled at her as she entered the room. Multiple people followed behind including Kayla, Justin, my dad, and Janet's parents.
Kayla fainted as we made eye contact Justin stared like he had seen a ghost as my mother hesitantly touched my face. Janet wouldn't dare to look at me for some reason. "Quinn you made head news." Aiden showed me an article from Google.
Breaking news: an American citizen has miraculously returned from the dead after being viciously mauled by a pack of dogs in Romania. Quinn Turner, a 25-year-old from Nashville Tennessee, was visiting the Eastern European country when he was brutally attacked by the wild animals. Turner endured hours of fight for survival as doctors worked tirelessly to save his life, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away. His body was then flown back to the United States, and he was buried in his hometown of Nashville Tennessee, surrounded by family and friends.
However, three days later, to the shock and amazement of his loved ones, Turner's body began to display signs of life, and he was miraculously resurrected from the dead. Upon his return to life, Turner claimed that he had experienced an out-of-body experience, where he was able to see his own body being lowered into his grave. He said that he was able to communicate with divine spirits who told him that he had unfinished business left on Earth, and he was given a second chance at life.
Turner's incredible story has left many around the world scratching their heads and wondering how such a thing could be possible. While some have accused him of being a fraud, many others have come to his defense, praising him as a miracle worker and a symbol of hope.
In the aftermath of this miraculous event, Turner has been overwhelmed by media attention and has been called upon to speak at numerous events and conferences, speaking about his remarkable experience. He has become a symbol of hope and inspiration for many, and many have praised his bravery and tenacity in the face of adversity.
"You resurrected like Jesus dude." He snickered as another doctor came in with a black puppy. "Little buddy's doing well just needs food and rest." Janet stood up still not looking at me as she retrieved this puppy. The doctor smiles and exits. "You got a dog?" I ask and she nods finally looking at me. "I ran over one of his legs earlier." She said giving him to me but he started growling.
"he's a bit feral." She informed me and held him to her chest. "Mr Turner you will have to stay at the hospital until your blood test comes back. Family, can all of you leave the room for a minute?" He asked and everyone left. Kayla who I just noticed was now better rushed up to hug me. "You son of a bitch." She said into my ear.
I watched her leave as the doctor made a call. I didn't hear much because he couldn't stop whispering the entire time. "Okay let's go."
Gabriel
I fell asleep and tried to sleep after tossing and turning. Simon asked me if I was alright and I lied to him. He knew I was too because he stood there at my door watching me trying to get comfortable. The truth is I'm scared to sleep and have those nightmares. The recent seems like a vision of my past. I had that specific one while on the jet to America. Finally after 1 hour of staring at the ceiling.
~~
I woke up handcuffed to a huge tree in the woods butt naked. I looked up at the sky seeing that the moon was revealing from the clouds. I felt a sharp pain that I hadn't felt in a while. My skin melted off like a candle revealing black wolf-like fur. The handcuffs were now broken off and I got to walk around. My vision was not as normal as it was before.
All I see is red. Suddenly I heard a branch break behind me and adrenaline fired me up making me grab the attacker without trying to identify them I didn't care who it was. All i knew is that they needed to be put down. I realized who I attacked seeing that it was janet. Her faintly green eyes were wide open but her body was motionless. I looked down at my stomach and saw that she found the cure to save me but I didn't save her. I started to calm down as someone else approached us. Instead of attacking, I turned around and saw carl. He had a look of anger before shooting me. "This is for my great great great granddaughter you murderer!!!"
Those words will forever haunt me. That's all I'll ever be known for. Killing people. I opened my eyes and was not even fazed by the nightmare. I sigh heavily and go downstairs for a glass of water. Simon called saying he got the werewolf right where we needed him.
Janet
They said I could just go home but I can't leave Quinn at least not again. God has given me a second chance to be with him and I'm using it to my best advantage. Kayla and Justin stayed with me as well. Aiden brought the puppy home and Justin told me that Kayla is expecting. She wasn't all that happy. "I'm going to be fat soon and all this working out will go down the drain." She mumbled as I laughed.
"you'll live." The entrance of the hospital door swung open before a tall brown-haired man dressed in all black strides in. "Good night I'm Quinn Turner's cousin."
"that's not his cousin," Justin said because we met all of them at the funeral. The guy was already off. I got up following behind him for a couple of seconds when he stopped and turned around with a look of panic. "Who are you?" I asked and he stepped back a little. "I'm Gabriel from the holy order in Vatican City. I've traveled far to figure out why he came back."
"so you're a liar you're not related to Quinn Turner?" I arch my brow at him. "Gabriel get your old ass in here!!" The doctor yelled and my friends got up. "What are you two going to do with my boyfriend?" Justin held him by the collar like he was tiny even though they were the same height.
Kayla stared at him as I examined him waiting for an answer. "He might be dangerous, I don't think it was a miracle that brought him back." Justin let him go and I look at Gabriel. "Then what did?" He sighs adjusting his collar and hand gestures for us to follow as he entered the room. "You three cannot go in there." The receptionist said but quickly shut up when Gabriel glared at her. The doctor was startled by us because we weren't supposed to be in here.
"hey guys."
"They want to know what's happening to their friend." My eyes were full of eagerness to know what's really going on. "When your friend was attacked by that thing it did something to him,"
"it was a werewolf." Gabriel butts in and the doctor shot him a look. "What, either we tell them or innocent people will die."
"anyways by the looks of it your boyfriend has inhuman DNA running in his veins from the werewolf vemon." I swallow a lump in my throat as I glance at Quinn's sleeping body. "So my guess is that on the full moon he'll grow claws, hairs and fangs then slaughter?" Justin asked as calm as ever.
"Correcto and please when you three get out of here don't go about telling anyone about this." Gabriel said slightly pleading. "Why not what if there's someone who can help us?" Kayla argued. "no one can cure a werewolf curse." Gabriel was irritated as I watch them go back and forth about who knows about this best.
"but silver is their weakness." the doctor announced making all of us look at him. He ran passed us towards this huge briefcase. "Simon what are you implying?" Gabriel went over to him as the doctor who I just discovered name is simon.
"With this silver we can make a neck band that can prevent him from changing. If it doesn't..." Simon trails off. "They'll have to kill him" Justin finished his sentence and I yelped.
"no there has to be a cure." with the look on Gabriel's face I knew there really wasn't another way. "We'll test the silver necklace." Simon lightened up the mood a bit so I took a seat next to Quinn.
"You guys go I'll stay here with Quinn." Surprisingly no one disagreed and understood where I was coming from. "We'll stop by tomorrow." Kayla hugged me and Justin fizzled my hair causing me to let out a belly laugh as I watch them leave.
"if we're gonna keep this man alive we have to find out how much he owed the insurance company because they're going to need their money back." Oh shit I never thought of that. "Oh baby what are you going to do?" I pecked his lips and caressed his face. He's so beautiful sleeping.
"We'll cover that." My head did a 360 so fast when I heard that. That is so generous of them. "But only after the full moon because you know." Gabriel avoided making eye contact with me like this whole situation was familiar to him. "You seem like you know what you're doing and I want to thank you for helping us."
His lips twitch into a smile. "haven't heard those two words in a while." I wanted to use the restroom but felt a squeeze on my wrist. "Where you going?" Quinn asked with his eyes closed. I playfully roll my eyes and kiss him. "To do a number 1." He laughed between our kiss making me forget I even wanted to pee in the first place.
"Without me?" He playfully smirked and I feigned a gasp. "You're so disgusting but seriously I have to go." I let go and head to the bathroom. What has my life become who would've known that night in the Eastern part of Europe would've changed my life.
When I was done I got back to the room Gabriel and Simon started packing. "You know a place we could stay?" Simon asked and my house was the only thing cheap at the moment. "My house but there's still one problem. I am late on my electricity bill and-
"it'll be paid." Gabriel interrupted and again I was dumbfounded. "Oh um, thanks." He was about to walk out when he suddenly turned on his heel and pushed me onto the ground. Shots ran through the hospital as patients, nurses, and doctor's horrifying screams were heard from a distance. I began sobbing as I saw Quinn on the floor.
I thought he was hit until he swiftly crawled towards me pulling me into his arms. Gabriel stood on his knees and began firing. The shoot-out lasted for 10 minutes straight until a bullet hit Gabriel in the stomach but he didn't have an expected reaction like I thought.
"Fuck." He grunts and stands to his feet. "We can't stay in here," Simon said wiping the sweat off of his forehead. I nod and help Quinn up to his feet. When I enter the hallway I see several dead bodies on the floor along with others crying over them.
I look away as we sprint out of the horrible scene and enter a black van. "Gabriel you're hurt." I reminded him since he hasn't winced once. Simon drove off. Gabriel started attending to his wound in front of me. I watch in disgust as he uses a tweezer to forcefully pull it out.
"I've been through much worse than a... silver bullet!?" He exclaimed, holding the piece of the bullet. "Someone is after Quinn and I think it's the same person that killed the previous werewolf," Gabriel said cleaning the wound. "Wait he died?" Quinn asked.
"yeah and now the killer is after you." He gulped and pulled me closer to him. I sigh and grab his hand squeezing it. "God help us," I say to myself as a tear falls from one of my eyes.
