Mark's Pov

After about twenty long minutes, my transformation was done. I shakily stood up on my paws and stretched out my sore body before sitting down to rest. I could hear my friends talking downstairs. Kathryn asked "Is Mark okay? He left a while ago but he said he'd be right back." Curious, I started to walk down the stairs as I heard Tyler answer "Don't worry Kathryn. I'm sure he'll be back any minute." As if on cue, I walked tiredly into the room. Ethan smiled warmly and said "See! There he is right now." Kathryn turned her head towards me and immediately jumped in her seat. "Wolf!", she screamed. I rolled my eyes and laid down on the floor. I somehow must've forgotten that she didn't know about this.

Kath relaxed a little bit as she processed Ethan's comment. She murmured "Wait, you said that the wolf is Mark?!" Ethan nodded his head with Tyler and Amy. Kathryn looked towards me and stuttered "B-but that's impossible!" I shrugged my shoulders to the best of my ability. Tyler added "We did too at first." She nervously smiled "That's actually...kinda cool Mark." Amy walked over and sat beside me, running her fingers through my fur slowly. My tail wagged behind me but I didn't mind. She giggled and continued to pet me. Ethan asked "So why did you stay in your wolf form this time Mark? I only meant it as a joke earlier." I shook my head. "Too lazy to change back?", Tyler questioned. I nodded my head. Kathryn looked confused. She asked me "You can change back if you wanted to right now?" Amy explained "Yeah. Real werewolves can change back after the nightly transformation unless it's the full moon. Mark usually chooses to change back right after. But not tonight I guess." "This happens the same time every night?", Kathryn continued.

I nodded and asked "Any more questions?", with a little bit of difficulty. Kathryn just stared at me in shock. Amy complemented "You're getting better with speaking in your wolf form. Maybe you'll be able to speak fluently if you keep going at it." My tail continued to wag at the praise. Sometimes having wolf-ish instincts can be embarrassing. Kathryn smiled "Well, I do have a couple questions." I nodded, giving a signal that said 'Fire away'. She asked "Do you have control all of the time?" I shook my head. Ethan interjected "Most of the time he does. It's only on certain days like a lunar eclipse or when there are two full moons in one month." "Who else knows about this?" "Just us here in the room, Bob, and Wade. We try to keep it a secret as best as we can so nothing bad happens to Mark.", Tyler said. Kathryn nodded.

"How exactly did Mark get...turned into a werewolf? I've never seen any scars from a bite." Amy answered "We believe Mark was cursed by a game. We haven't heard of the game affecting anyone else. We talked to the maker and they said that Mark's genes and heritage must've allowed to the curse to take affect. Until we know anything else, it's our best guess since he turned after playing it." I sighed, remembering how everything came to this.

I was sitting in my recording room, playing a game that a fan had sent to me when I suddenly got a headache. It was late and I was tired so I just pushed it aside and went to bed. Yet, it was only worse the next day. I groaned and got out of bed to make some coffee. Tyler and Amy greeted me in the kitchen. "Afternoon sleepyhead.", Tyler joked. My eyes widened. I asked "It's already afternoon? What time is it?" Amy replied "It's 3 o'clock Mark. You really slept in today." I laughed it off with the other two but I had an uneasy feeling.

Tyler put a hand on my shoulder. "You feeling ok, Mark? You look a bit pale." "I'm fine. I'm just not feeling the best today." Amy put the back of her hand to my forehead. She took it back and told me I was burning up and that I should go back to bed. Tyler agreed and eventually convinced me to go. Reluctantly of course. I went back upstairs to my bedroom with a bottle of water. Amy said she would come in later with a bowl of soup for me to eat. Truth be told I was starving considering I had slept through the whole day so I was glad she was going to.

After I did eat I fell back asleep since there wasn't much to do. I managed to sleep until it was somewhere around 9:30 at night. Amy had left a note on my bedside table. I looked over and read it. It said "Had to go to work, see you later tonight Mark! Hope you feel better soon. -Amy" I smiled and got out of my bed, stretching. That's when I remembered that I still hadn't uploaded a video that day. I shrugged and went to my recording room to upload one. Unfortunately I didn't have any videos prerecorded or edited. I sighed before I began to set up my recording equipment. Once it was all set up, I pulled up a game and pressed record.
