When Gary and Blake had reached the Orphanage, the two of them were debating about what to do. Whether they should head inside the place and try to find Billy. Although Gary felt might cause an awkward situation if Innu was inside, there was also the chance that them coming to the scene would scare Billy away.
However, they thought it was unlikely that he would be inside anyway. The place looked quite large, and he was sure there would be multiple people, especially at an orphanage.
‘I wonder, does Innu visit this place often? Maybe Billy just has never had the chance to attack Innu. Lately, he’s always been around us, and if he visits this place a lot.’
With this thought, Gary was thinking about what he would do. What would he have done if he was the one hunting Innu? There were a few things Billy needed to do. To make sure he wasn’t seen by others, and it looked like Billy was straying from killing others during his task.
At the same time, so far, Billy had been doing well not to be caught with his other killings. Perhaps he needed to follow Innu’s route a few times before he came up with the perfect plan.
In the end, Gary felt like if they followed Innu every day after school, perhaps they would get their answer if he was there or not. Because of this, Blake looked for a good spot where they could see the Orphanage well.
On the street just outside of it, there was a three-story apartment block, on the side a ladder that would be used as a fire exit. Using this, the two of them climbed up it and continued to watch from afar.
‘I wonder why Innu is visiting an Orphanage. Is he an orphan?’ Wondering about the other’s situation, it was then that Gary realised he didn’t really know much about Innu.
Honestly, he thought his relationship with many of those around him would be temporary. As time went on, he realised that perhaps that wouldn’t be the case at all. All of these people were now members of his gang, and they had all risked their lives to save Marie. There was a strong bond between them all.
Something similar to friendship, but it wasn’t quite the same. Eventually, the two of them could see Innu leaving the place.
‘Maybe I should also create bond markings with Innu?’ Gary thought.
Not long after, they could see a large figure walk up to the gate and was staring inside. The figure had stayed just outside for a while, not moving in but just staring.
“His temperature is high, and he’s wearing a hoodie,” Blake said. “I think we might have found our guy!”
Knowing this, Gary didn’t take long to get into action. He practically ran from the roof they were on, and before landing, he transformed his legs slightly, allowing him to take the blow his legs would have done.
This was something that Blake didn’t want to risk, so he climbed back down the ladder chasing after Gary, not too far behind him.
When running through the street, Gary could see the hooded figure not even staring away from the inside of the Orphanage. It was almost like they were obsessed with what they were looking at. At the same time, a scent had entered Gary’s nose.
It was a smell he had smelled before. When it hit his nose, memories started to flood his head.
‘It’s Billy!’ Gary thought.
Straight away, using the partial transformation, the muscles in his thigh started to bulge, ripping his trousers slightly. He started to transform his arms as well, breaking through his shirt, and his speed drastically increased in seconds. He shot from his position and even leapt in the air, his arms aiming around the figure’s waist.
‘Transforming here, Gary! What if someone sees you? We need to get to another area!’ Balke thought but would continue to follow and support his ally.
After tackling what Gary thought was Billy to the ground, he was now on top of him, and the person he had been looking for all along was there.
“Hahaha, have you been tracking me down?!” Billy couldn’t help but laugh. “I never thought you would actually be looking for me. You really are brave.”
Looking at his face, Gary was hesitant with his two hands.
‘Why can’t I strike him? I struck the twins…is it because he looks human?’
Trying to forget about this, Gary shook his head and readied his claws, swinging them both towards Billy’s head at the same time, but just before they reached, Billy grabbed them both by the wrist.
There seemed to be some type of power struggle between the two.
‘He’s holding my hands…he has gotten stronger, or maybe he was already this strong, to begin with!’
It looked like Gary was eventually winning out as he continued to push forward, and his long fingernails were inching closer to Billy’s head.
“Why can I hear footsteps?” Billy struggled to say and looked down, seeing another coming towards him. “It looks like you got help.”
It was then that Billy’s eyes started to change, and his forearms started to get larger. His whole body was changing on the spot. Before Gary could do anything, He lifted up his legs and kicked him in the stomach, causing Gary to fall back and crash into Blake.
“Sorry,” Gary said, getting up.
When the two got up, they could see a large black-furred wolf staring at them. The claws the large snout and worst of all the sharp eyes. It was the first time that Gary had seen something similar to what himself would look like. the sight of it was truly frightening. It was bigger than what Gary remembered seeing in the video of himself, and it was clear now that Billy knew how to transform, even though it wasn’t a full moon.
However, Billy suddenly turned away in his werewolf form and took a run for it.
“We have to get him!” Gary shouted. “We can’t let him get away.”
“I agree,” Blake said as the two began the chase.
