The forest. The nice, green, earthy forest. As I ran past the tress and the bushes, I felt the wind blowing on my face as I smelled the leafy aroma of the sweet wild. Who am I you may ask? I'm Jake Winston. Where was I going? You are about to find out. After running past hills and swinging through trees, I found it. The worlds most legendary temple in the history of archaeology, the temple of werewolves. Legend has it, a pack of real life werewolves from the 14th century built it as a safe haven for all other werewolves from around the world so they could hide away from the humans and pretend that they were just a myth to stay safe. But however, one day, the rumor of the temple was spread everywhere and warriors and soldiers were sent there to investigate. After entering, they found out that the werewolves were real and we're all destroyed. My friends from my high school told me they heard a rumor a golden statue randomly appeared there mysteriously so I went there to check it out. Strangely enough, no archeologist has ever explored this place. Which would make me the first ever. I took a deep breath as I had my backpack strapped on well as started walking to it. The temple was massive as I looked at the entrance as I saw a wolf muzzle on the top with a giant wolf face on the wall with the maw on the bottom to make it look like a wolf had its mouth open revealing the enterence inside. As I looked into the entrance to the inside of the temple, I shouted inside.

ECHO!! I shouted as I heard a loud echo enter the room.

The inside of the temple looked a little bit pitch black. But luckily, I packed a torch in my backpack as I reached in to get it. After pulling it out, I take a march from my pocket and lit it up and put it up to the torch to light it up. After lighting up the torch, I took another deep breath as I started walking in. As I kept on walking, there was less light and more darkness. But luckily, I had my torch that was still burning. As I looked around, I saw carvings on the wall that had werewolves and full moons on it. I was stunned at the carvings because they were well carved. I actually wonder if they used their claws to carve it. But I ignored it as I saw something. I saw light coming from a room up ahead. That must mean I was getting close to the end of the tunnel. After exiting the tunnel, I entered a large, dome-like room. The floor was stone tile, while in the center of the room, was a strange muscular werewolf statue in a howling position as I saw 2 red gems that seemed to be eyes. And in front of it, was the same statue. But however, it was the size of a Barbie doll, and instead of being made of stone, it was gold and had the same red gem eyes. The gold statue was also on some kind of pedestal. I was shocked to see it, the statue was actually real. My friends were right about it all along. And now, I'm going collect it. Yes, collect it and sell it to the museum for Millions of dollars. I planned on doing it from when I heard about this statue. I was going to be rich. I prepared myself as I grabbed a bag of sand from my backpack. As I held the bag in my hand, I opened it and examined the weight of the Statue. I then took 2 handfuls of the sand and sprinkled it on floor. I then took 1 final breath as I sealed the bag back up. I then face the statue while holding the bag of sand in my hand. I then put my hand next to the statue as I finally snatched it off the pedestal and quickly placed the bag on it. I was shocked now after getting the statue. The real life statue of the temple of werewolves.

I'm going to be RICH!!!! I shouted with joy and happiness as tears rolled down my eyes.

But then suddenly, something happened. The bag still had a lot of sand, and it was enough to match the weight of the statue, but however, some of the sand was sitting on the left side of the bag and caused it to fall off the pedestal and on to the floor and I turned around and noticed and went into a horrified shock.

OH NO!!!! I shouted with fear as I got so scared and let go of the statue. NO NO NO!!!! I shouted as I tried to catch it. But it was too late, the statue shattered as soon as it hit the floor. OH NO!! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! I shouted with horror.

Then suddenly, The floor began to shake, as if an earthquake was occurring. Then after that, the eyes the the giant werewolf statue began to glow as I went into total shock.

THEIF!! YOU HAVE STOLEN AND DESTROYED THE WEREWOLF PACKS PRECIOUS TREASURE!! Shouted a voice that I heard coming from the room. What the!? WAIT A MINUTE!! WHO IS THAT VOICE!! I shouted with horror as I felt the floor shake even more. ME!! YOU PUNY HUMAN!! Shouted the voice as I heard it coming from the statue. I turned around in shock to see that it was the statue. Y-YOU CAN TALK?! I shouted in horror. YES!! I AM BLOOD FANG!! THE 1ST ALPHA OF THIS TEMPLE!! AMD YOU HAVE DESTROYED OUR PRIZED POSSESION!! Shouted the Statue.

I looked down at the pieces of the golden statue in horror. Then I looked back up at him as I gasped in horror as I realized of what I've done. I then fell to my knees.

I-IM SO SORRY!! I DID NOT MEAN TO..I shouted as I tried to apologize to him. But I was then interrupted by him. SILENCE!! YOUR APOLOGIES WILL NOT WORK ON ME!! FOR IT IS TOO LATE NOW!! Shouted Blood Fang as he roared like a vicious beast. WAIT!! PLEASE!! NO!! ILL FIND A WAY TO REPAY YOU ALMIGHTY WEREWOLF ALPHA!! I shouted as I had my hands crossed while crying. I SAID SILENCE!! AND LIKE I HAVE SAID AGAIN!! IT IS TOO LATE!! Shouted Blood Fang!! W-What are you going to do to me, I said while crying. THE STATUE YOU HAVE DESTROYED WAS MADE UP OF SPIRITS OF EVERY WEREWOLF THAT WAS KILLED BY YOUR RACE!! IT WAS THE SYMBOL OF OUR PACKS TEMPLE, AS PUNISHMENT FOR DESTROYING IT, YOU WILL BE CURSED TO BECOME THE NEW WEREWOLF ALPHA!! BODY AND MIND FOREVER!!!! Shouted Blood Fang as I stood there in shock. WHAT?! But....I don't want to be a werewolf. I Said crying even more. SILENCE!! YOU SHALL BE CURSED NOW!!!! Shouted blood fang as the statues eyes blasted a strange laser beam at my eyes and then stopped.

Then suddenly, the statue began to glow a bright blue and white light. My body also started doing the same. Suddenly, I felt something painful inside as I started screaming in pain as I clutched my chest. Then suddenly, I felt something in my hands. I look at them as I went into complete shock. My palms and finger pads started swelling up as they became hard and black. I screamed in horror as I saw the changes progress in my hands. I then saw my finger nails become longer as they sharpened to a point to look like the razor sharp claws of a ferocious beast. Next, I felt my eyes burn as they went from human eyes, to full yellow as my pupils became slit and cat-like. Next I felt a tingling sensation as the pain in now both hands and arms occurred. My arms began to stretch and become longer as I also saw soft, brown hairs grow on my hands and arms. It grew more until it became a thick layer of fur. I stood there in horror as I now felt the fur progress to my torso and legs. After that, I felt a painful sensation in my teeth as I felt them grow and sharpen. Turning them into vicious fangs of a werewolf. I then started to feel my ears stretch out as my hearing improved while my ears crept up to the top of my head as they became more sensitive. Then I felt the fur spread to my neck as my hair started to fall out as the fur spread to the rest of my head. Except my face. I then felt something next as I fell to my knees as I hugged myself while I felt more pain. I started to feel my feet hurt in horrible pain as I felt my toes merge from 5, to 3 as the grew bigger as my feet and toes swelled as as I felt them harden. After that, I felt my feet stretch out and grow bigger as my shoes got tighter until, BOOM!!!! They burst into shreds as my heels started reforming so I could stand on digitigrade legs like all werewolves do. After that, I fell on my back crying in horrible pain as I rolled over. I then started to feel my spine push out as something bursted through my pants. I turn my head as I watched in awe and horror. I was growing a tail. A wolfs tail to be specific. I was crying in horror and pain as the transformation progressed. I then felt my legs grow bigger as I felt the muscles in my legs burn as I felt my legs bulge with muscle. Causing me to lose balance. My arms then started doing the same as my arms grew muscular as my arms began to grow. My pants and shirt sleeves could not hold my now growing arms and legs and exploded as I was now left with nothing but my fur covered legs, and my kinda now sleeveless shirt. Next, I felt a horrible pain in my torso. As I felt the rest of my muscles burn. And with horrible pain, my torso started growing as growing muscles swelled my body up as I started growing bigger as my shirt exploded to shreds as I was now left with nothing but a furry werewolf body. I continued crying as I felt my organs grow to fit this massive, ferocious, vicious beast coming out of me. I then tried to stand up as I was now the same size as the stone werewolf statue. Then last but not least, I felt my face push out as the rest of the fur covered my face as my nose became black and wet as it reshaped itself to become a lupin nose. As this was happening, my mind clouded as it got more harder to think. All my memories were forgotten as they were replaced with werewolf memories and alpha werewolf memories. I then started growling as my eyes began turning angry as I roared like a ferocious werewolf as my face finally became a werewolf so muzzle. I then made a loud howl as the room started to echo with wolf howls. My transformation was complete. Then I started to hear the voice of Blood Fang.

Your name is Lupin Howl. You are the new Werewolf Alpha of the werewolves and the protector of this temple. Welcome Home. Said Blood Fang.

I then made a vicious roar as I saw flames come from the statue and they made lines around my body. After that, they disappeared as I now saw golden arm guards on my arms with iron strap armor on my chest and iron armor pieces on my legs. I then saw a door open that revealed a forest covered in the night sky with a full moon shining over it.

NOW GO!! YOUR PACK IS WAITING FOR YOU!! Shouted Blood Fang as he pointed to the forest.

I then made another loud howl as I got down on all fours and ran to the forest as happy as I could be as I went to find my new pack. I now realized who I was. I was the alpha and protector of the temple. And this temple is under my protection. I then howled at the full moon with happiness. As the alpha of the packs here in this temple, and the guardian of the temple.
