Day Three: Sunday

Kyle wakes up Jake to let him know that there’s pancakes being made.

The topic of the murders is discussed and results in Markus pulling Kyle to the police station to try and get him to give the correct information so he isn’t suspected.

Jake prepares for his date with Hanna. The topics are their fellow schoolmates and where they’ve ended up followed by why Jake wanted to be a vet and where he is planning on going in the future.

Hanna suggests that their date be recontinued later at a party in the Dynamo.

Jake goes to check in at the clinic to kill some time and finds that Mr Thomas hasn’t come in to care for the animals.

Jake does the necessary duties at the clinic and a final sweep before splitting the fur sample into two and heading off to the Dynamo.

He arrives at the Dynamo and goes to Pastor Williams for advice on how to cope with seeing two mangled corpses.

Next, Jake links up with Kenny and his group and they ask for details about her and he complies, with Hanna standing right behind him, chiming in good-humouredly, and accompanied two of her friends, Mila and Dakota.

Cue introductions and Jake and Hanna splitting off for drinks and to dance.

It goes… acceptably.

They go outside, eat some sandwiches and chat until they are interrupted by a drunk Kenny stumbling into trash cans and then recontinue talking, at one point Jake asks if she has any pets and proceeds to state that he *thinks Hanna is a dog person, to which she responds with a noncommittal affirmation*.

An hour before midnight, the party ends and Hanna sets up another meet up in two days before kissing Jake and leaving.

As Jake prepares to leave, he finds Kenny by his jeep and offers him a ride back to his house. On the way back, they chat, primarily about cryptids and other supernatural things.

*First engagement:*

Due to the darkness, Jake crashes into a black and gray werewolf, named the Feral by the chat, and attempts to outpace it in the jeep, however it keeps pace.

In an attempt to stun it, Jake slams on the brakes with the hope of having it run into the jeep.

It does not go as planned and the jeep slides out of control, totaling it and knocking Kenny out.

Jake bandages Kenny’s wounds and both of them get out of the wreck to climb a tree in an attempt to evade the Feral. In the tree, Jake called 911 and got a police squad sent to his and Kenny’s position. The Feral soon gets near the tree, fails to locate them, and begins howling and shredding itself with its claws, spilling a lot of its blood.

Three additional werewolves respond to the Feral’s howls and soon after the Feral suffers a seizure and runs off in confusion.

Kenny believes that the Feral left and proceeds to talk loudly about the discovery, promptly shutting up once another werewolf shows up, appearing to be significantly more intelligent than the Feral, having a brown fur coat and blue eyes, and being easily *identifiable as male*.

It leaves once more howls are made and both Jake and Kenny stay in the tree silent until police officers show up, then they climb down.

*End of engagement:*

Jake gives a report and warning to Markus before collecting samples of the Feral’s blood.

Markus drives Jake to the clinic to check the samples and Jake gives a more true report before the conversation falls into insults.

Jake enters the clinic and checks up on each of the animals before going to the lab machine, finding that it suffered an error, and double checking all of the equipment and running the machine again.

They return home and Jake prepares to go to bed, texting Hanna about his car troubles and cuddling an unloaded AR-15.

In a dream, Jake was being chased through the woods by a silver-white werewolf and was knocked prone by it pouncing. It proceeded to pin him down and ‘kissed’ the back of his neck while attempting to protect him from other creatures in the woods.
