Curse or Gift
Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLifting his fur-covered clawed hand into the air to see if he still was a nightwalker.
'Still a werewolf,'
Smiling as he brought his hand down onto his chest as he kept looking at the ceiling as his golden eyes stared up at it, the newly turned werewolf lifted himself up from the bed. It was day three of being like this and still, his body was still overwhelming, he couldn't help but think how a spartan II from halo after they underwent the transformation of becoming a spartan.
Just like them, he had to re-learn how to do basically everything from walking, eating, hell even talking was alien to him.
At least breathing didn't change.
Next to the fact, his senses have been dialed to 20 like him hearing the maids chatting and the guards shifting in place.
Stretching in bed he turned to the side of the bed and looked down at the floor.
Walking...
This wasn't a problem as one would think but his new legs were like that of a... well... a wolf but far more powerful and bigger to hold up his weight. Sure some furries back on earth had this kid of leg thing for some fursuits that they had bought or made but him?
He never had a fursuit and never had anything like this before.
Placing his paws onto the ground slowly the new werewolf got up grabbing the bed's front as he did to help with his balance. Shaking slightly he smiled then he let go and took another step forward before taking another and...
"OH SHIT!"
*Thud*
Fell down again...
'Fucking great,'
He laid there in thought as he tried to figure out what he was doing wrong but as he did his ears perked up upon hearing familiar voices.
"Remember girls he's the same human we knew he's just trying to adapt to his new form," He knew Celestia's voice all too well.
"I can't believe he was turned into a 'night-walker' in the daring doo's book the hand didn't do anything to that pony that was scratched why would it work now?"
'Huh never knew Rainbow Dash actually remember that'
Trying to get up he was still shaking but he needs to get up at least not to look that helpless.
*Knock knock*
Oh boy, another hard thing that was so simple a few days ago.
"C-c-come o-on in," His voice was different too like his new appearance of course.
"Now girls remember what I said,"
As the door opened the main six, spike, starlight, sunset, and the princesses were meet with the former human turned werewolf trying to stand on his own but still his legs were shaking like crazy. They (except the princesses) were in shock upon seeing their good friend as a night-walker along with the fact he was barely standing.
"You shouldn't be out of bed!" Luna rushed over to the werewolf who gave a dry laugh.
"L-L-L-Luna I-I-I'm f-f-f-fine," The Lycan said as he was helped to the bed.
The elements and the other three didn't know what to do as their friend for nearly three years was in such a changed state, still the former human even now barely able to walk and speak still he wore a smile on his face. Fluttershy was the first to move in on the Lycanthrope who looked at her as she held her hands to her chest before looking into his eye as the former blue eyes that the human once had were replaced with a golden fire color that all adult wolves have.
Fluttershy then hugged the Lycan who was slightly shocked before smiling and returning the hug back as the rest followed suit telling him he wasn't alone in this. As the group hug lasted a few minutes it was broke leaving the group to look at the werewolf who was wearing but a pair of trunks quickly made to cover his form not like how he was before, being a werewolf has a lot of useful perks even for the bedroom... though he hasn't really done anything yet even when he was a human.
That didn't matter right now though.
Rarity spoke.
"Darling I must say we must get you better clothes! Those trunks are so disgraceful! Let me get your measurements I did need to make you some new clothes anyway," Rarity said as the Lycan chuckled as she went over with her measuring tape as the others began to open up.
"Got to say partner from what the princesses told us it sounded like you been through hell when becoming a night-walker," Applejack said as he nodded.
"I-I-I-I-t hurt a-a-a-a b-b--bit t-t-t-though I m-m-m-m-might h-have b-b-been a little o-o-o-overdramatic,"
"What? Overdramatic? I'll tell you overdramatic! Overdramatic is Rarity pulling out one of those fancy chairs from her house to the middle of a field to 'faint'," Rainbow dash said.
Rarity puffed out slightly.
"No I wasn't and besides I was not going to lay down on the dirty grass,"
"Come on you went all the way from your house then dragged the chair to the field where we were at and 'fainted'. Sugar cube that is a bit overdramatic," Applejack supported Rainbow dash comment.
"Hmph,"
Spike then went over to the Lycan.
"I have to ask dude? How does it feel to have a tail now?" The young dragon asked as the werewolf looked to his back.
"I-I-I-It's... d-d-d-different t-t-t-t-t-than I w-w-w-would e-e-e-e-expect l-l-l-l-little b-b-b-b-bro," The werewolf told spike as his tail moved from side to side.
Twilight then took this time to pull out a clipboard, paper, and pen.
"Alright, then this could also be a blessing where we can learn of a human turning into a nightwalker! After all, there aren't many recordings of pony, griffin, or dragon nightwalkers left from when Grogar's was defeated and the great power struggle happened! Your experience of being a nightwalker could help us understand how the nightwalker curse could be cured!" Twilight said.
"Twilight is a curse, not a virus, and the changes are fixed there isn't any way you know this better than anypony," Starlight said as Twilight spoke.
"Curses can also be broken as well Starlight," Twilight spoke but the sun princess placed her hand on Twilight's shoulder.
"It could kill him young Twilight," Celestia said. "Besides he's already been through one extreme transformation and if it wasn't for the nightwalker's Immortality taking hold then he would have died from the process. Think about that but if the Immortality was lifted sure he would have returned to his original form but the pain, strain, and shock would kill him,"
This left the room dead quiet before the Lycan spoke up.
"T-t-t-twilight d-d-d-do y-y-you a-a-always have t-t-those o-o-o-on y-y-you a-a-a-all t-t-the t-t-time?" The former human asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Yes, I do what kinda silly question is that?" Twilight said with a light smile.
The werewolf could almost hear the Text-to-speech-device of the emperor and leman Russ shouting nerd at the same time.
"Egghead," Rainbow dash spoke up getting the Lycan's drift.
'Close enough,'
The werewolf then turned to sunset who was ruffling his fur.
"Whoa... so that is what werewolf fur feels like," Sunset said confusing those who haven't been to the human world by using the term 'werewolf'.
"I-I-I-its what w-w-we c-c-call a-a-an n-n-n-nightwalker b-b-back h-h-home," The wolf said as Starlight then spoke up.
"Isn't it weird how both our world and yours have different terms for basically the same curse?"
"G-g-guess y-y-you c-c-c-can g-g-g-go with t-the b-b-bow t-t-t-theory," He spoke as Starlight raised her brow before sunset spoke.
"It's the theory back on the human world where all cultures around the world used the bow even though they were on other sides of the world and from different cultures," Sunset said as the werewolf nodded.
"There we go... thank you darling I'll get to designing you some new clothes so you no longer have to wear those rags!" Rarity said as she walked over to a chair and placed her glasses on as she reached into her bag and pulled out a drawing notepad.
"Ohhhhhhh I should throw you a 'get well' party later!" Pinkie pie said being cheerful as ever.
"Yeah, I'll get spitfire and the others for it. They want to know that their friend who made their shows 20% cooler is doing well," Rainbow said lightly punching the Lycan's shoulder.
"Hell yeah, good idea Pinkie! I'll send a letter to the family back home and have them bring some fine cider and pies," Applejack threw out as mouths begin to water at the thought of the apple family products. "After all 'city boy' you still are from that Texas place you keep tell me about?"
The werewolf chuckled with a toothy grin his old yellowing teeth had been replaced with pearl white fang that could rip into the meat with ease.
"Oh! Is it alright if Discord comes? He's worried sick about you. After all, your his fellow 'crazy' whatever that means," Fluttershy spoke out.
"Don't worry I'll have a nice pair of clothes ready before the party!" Rarity said overhearing the party talk.
Twilight on the other hand was different about the party talk.
"Girls are you sure he's up for a party? He can barely walk," Twilight warned.
Sunset smiled.
"Yeah knowing him he's up for anything and besides there was a study back on earth that being with loved ones will increase the chances of recovery by 56%," The former rival of Twilight spoke.
"Sunset is right Twilight plus Shining and Cadance are worried and want to see him again," Starlight said as Twilight gave in through the sound logic of science and the family card.
"Don't forget the others," Spike threw out.
"O-o-others?"
Spike nodded.
"Yeah, dude a lot of people are worried about you! Vinyl, Octiva, Lyra, Tempest, heck even Ember is worried... in her own way," Spike told the Lycanthrope.
The werewolf smiled slightly upon hearing this...
Unlike back home, not many of his friends and family came to see him after his surgery.
Though then again this was different than having a few teeth removed, complete and total transformation from human to Lycan is bigger than that.
"Come on man do you really think they would all just forget about you?" Spike asked.
"K-k-k-kinda,"
This shocked everyone in the room slightly before they remember how it was like back on earth in his life.
"Come on man do you really think so little of us?" Spike asked to which the former human laughed slightly.
"N-n-n-no,"
"Alright then you get to recovering and we will be with you every step of the way alright?" Spike said as the werewolf smiled.
"Thanks, guys,"
"EHHHH Look! You didn't studder that time!" Rainbow dash pointed out as the werewolf rubbed his throat.
"That's one step closer to the finish line," Applejack joked.
"Now then how about we work on your walking?" Luna asked.
The werewolf nodded as he got up as Luna stood to his left and Applejack to his right just in case he fell down.
"Now let's see if you can make it to the door without our help sugar cube," AJ spoke as Twilight began to take notes as the group helped in their own way.
'Man Jack you got lucky as hell huh?' The werewolf then took a step forward.
Author's Note
Name revealed!
A call back to my old story 'Here's Jackie'! but that isn't the story that I have placed into this one, don't worry you'll find out.
But rikusorasephiroth gave me an idea for the last name, 'Wolfe' would be a nice touch...
The accountant is a good movie too and knowing how I love to throw in callbacks to movies, shows, and games I might just do that.
So yeah later on guys got to do some job hunting...

(fun but wacky movie)
