Chapter Ten is up. Did you see this coming? chooseyourowngeekery “Chance Wilcox, your team has given you the right of first choice. Where will you stand for the hunt?” “Right in the thick of it, sir,” you respond to Counselor Yu. “I want to be one of the runners.” The oldest living Yeti nods solemnly, but you can see the smile in his eyes. Is he remembering his own time in your cabin? He turns to your companions, and one by one, they make their choices. Momo will join you as a runner. JD is happy to be the spotter, and his wings will give you a serious advantage on that point. Gragg and Shagg take places as bait makers and trappers respectively, and Bonnie is happy to work the silver shucker. Frankly, she’s the only one you’d trust not to use up all the silver in the first two minutes anyway. An hour later, while Gragg is off wrangling up something to use for bait, you and Momo sit in the trees off to the side of the hunting field watching Shagg’s progress. You only have about five minutes until the moon rises. After that, the counselors will begin the howling which will attract the werewolves. “He’s doing a lot of trip lines. Better watch that.” Momo nods distractedly. “You okay?” “Yeah. I’m just really hungry.” “I think there are some candy bars in my backpack.” “Nah. I want some burgers,” You blink in surprise. Momo is a vegetarian. Before you can ask about that, though, he draws in a sharp intake of air and winces. “What’s wrong?” “A stupid dog bit me on the way to camp. I didn’t think it even broke the skin, but it just started itching!” Gragg appears off to your left at the edge of the clearing. Even from thirty yards away, you can smell the awful stench rising from his bait. And considering you hang out with Sasquatch’s and smell like pixie repellent, it takes a lot to offend your nose today. “Oh, man, that smells really good!” You look at Momo like he’s grown an extra head. His head is back and his nostrils are flared, greedily breathing in the air. As you look at his silhouette against the rising moon, you think to yourself that you never noticed how large Momo’s nose was. Then it gets bigger. And bigger. Now it’s more like a snout. In a flash, you remember the totem pole’s words. “The bite will be worse than you think.” Too late you understand what it meant. Somehow, against all odds, your best friend is turning into a werewolf. What do you choose? + I need to get to Bonnie and the silver. Shes across the field. I just hope it doesnt hurt Momo too much. + No way I can outrun him, but if I dash out into the field, I can let Shaggs trip lines do their work + If I shove him to the ground now, I could hop on his back where he cant reach me. Then I can get Gragg and Shagg to come help me hold him down.
