#1 of Blue Moon


Blue Moon

The clouds rolled over the calm skies, as the night wore on. The small town slept, awaiting the new day to rise before them. The full moon shone its light brightly this night, as a winged creature soared underneath the glorious satellite. The crisp night air was filled with many wavering scents and the uneasy feeling of misdeeds being done.

A lone figure leisurely strolled into a rather plain looking building with a flashing neon sign reading "Hank's Bar". Upon entering the establishment, he was immediately attacked by the stench of alcohol, tobacco, and sex. The figure was a young Wolf; he wore a long black trench coat that hung ever so lightly on his back.

His heavy black boots thudded against the hard wood floor of the bar. The loose fitting black jeans he wore jingled with the sound of his keys, and the tight indigo tee shirt hugged his torso revealing his muscular build. The one key feature of him being his blood red hair tousled on top of his gleaming, silky silver fur.

He sat at the far end of the bar and motioned for the bartender.

"Double Vodka on the rocks." The wolf said in a gruff tone.

In the corner of the bar were a few rough looking men playing pool, chugging beers, and swearing like sailors. The bartender brought him his drink and proceeded to bring another round over to the pool players. As he was about to walk away the tallest man pulled him aside and whispered something to him and the bartender disappeared upstairs.

The man was gone for quite sometime, before coming down the stairs dragging behind him a young fox. The fox had shackles around both his hands and feet, and was thrown at the feet of the three rather menacing looking men. The Delinquents and the bartender picked him from off the cold floor and stared at him with malice and ill intent in their inebriated eyes.

Soon it was apparent what was going to take place. From across the bar the lone wolf sat listening to the murmuring of these blatantly drunk humans as they began to humiliate and violate the defenseless fox. He then proceeded to set down his glass and removed from his coat pocket a solid gold amulet in the shape of a Celtic cross, and examined it carefully as the blood red quarter size ruby in the center of it began to glow brightly and pulsate in his claws.

He then placed the item back from where he removed it and proceeded to stand to his feet. Immediately the wolf made his way over to the abomination that was going on in the back of the establishment.

"Well boys looks like we got ourselves another taker." One of the drunkards slurred. They all muttered in agreement and made a move toward the wolf.

"For the deeds you have done here tonight may the Devil himself collect your souls," the gruff voice of the wolf growled.

They all leaped for him, one he dodged and was lain face first in the floor. Another drunkard slammed into a table, and the last he put on the ground as well. Then the wolf was face to face with the bartender whom was holding a knife to the now unconscious fox's throat.

"Take another step and I promise you I'll spill his blood." The bartender threatened.

"I don't have time to play games with you, my time is almost up, so let him go and I'll leave." The wolf growled.

"I'm not letting him go he's a potential gold mine for me, do you realize the money I made on him tonight alone." The man replied, "Now why don't you leave and his blood won't be on your hands."

As he finished his proposal, he looked into the wolf's emerald green eyes, and saw the eyes of a soulless monster.

All of a sudden the wolf howled in agony, grabbing his head, feeling as if his brain was about to burst from his skull, and collapsed to one knee. The Bartender stood up, walking over to his now vulnerable opponent and was immediately stopped cold as a silver clawed hand raised him up off the ground.

The wolf that was once dubbed over in pain had now lifted him into the air and was staring at him as if looking into his very soul. The wolf's once beautiful emerald eyes were now as red as blood. Horns had protruded from his head, and enormous bat-like wing had emerged from his back ripping his coat and shirt from his body.

The bartender, now kicking his legs to find ground stared into the vacant eyes of the wolf, for the first time in his life knew true fear, and was afraid the he would soon be dead. As he struggled to free himself from the grip of this now monstrosity, his vision started to blur and he blacked out.

The wolf then slammed his prey against the wall of the building, and plunged his other claw deep into the chest of the man. It then took in its claw his still beating heart, and slowly crushed it watching as the life ebbed from his once living victim.

He then turned his wrath upon the now stirring bodies of his other assailants. The first to catch his attention was the man who was face first in the floor. The wolf bounded over to him, with his claws grabbed his head, and removed it from his shoulders.

The next one was the one on the ground next to the now decapitated man. The wolf grabbed him by the throat and twisted his head until he could see behind himself. Lastly was the one whom was thrown onto the pool table. By now, he had regained consciousness and had grabbed a pool queue and proceeded to break it on the wolf's back.

The wolf then took up the broken stick and with great force impaled the man into the wall. The wolf, now covered in blood stumbled over to his torn coat. He grabbed the amulet from the pocket and placed it around his neck.

As he did so, the wings and the horns retreated into his fur and his eyes regained their natural color. He grabbed the key from the deceased bartender, and unlocked the shackles around the unconscious fox. The Wolf exited the bar from the back door carrying the fox.

After what seemed like hours of walking, they came to a lovely house resting by the ocean. The wolf reached into his jean pocket and extracted a ring of keys, and after flipping through them, he inserted one in the lock of the door and entered the exquisite villa.

After laying the young fox to rest in one of the bedrooms the wolf then sat upon the leather sofa. Looking at the blood, that now covered his fur; he placed his head in his hands and wept.

After awhile the wolf arose from the couch and headed down the dark hallway. He entered a room that looked ordinary, a bed against the far wall and a dresser on the opposite. He proceeded to grab some clothes from the dresser and stumbled through a doorway adjacent to the bed

. He entered the bathroom from the doorway, leaned into the shower,and turned the knobs to start the water. After cleaning the blood from his fur and finishing his shower, he shuffled to the fridge and grabbed a tall bottle of Vodka.

He walked back over to the sofa, grabbed the television remote from the coffee table in front of him, and he flipped on the TV. Bringing the alcohol to his muzzle, he turned the bottle up and chugged a good bit of the substance while surfing through the channels.

Hours seemed to pass like minutes and the booze had begun to give him a major buzz. He continued drinking until the bottle was completely empty; he put the bottle on the table in front of him. He lay back on the couch and drifted off to sleep. He arose awhile later and after checking on his sleeping guest decided to fix both of them some breakfast.

Grabbing a few items from the fridge and turning dials on the stove to heat the pans he started to fix some pancakes and eggs. The delicious aromas from the kitchen were soon wafting throughout the entirety of the house.

They soon reached the nose of the young fox, who upon smelling the enticing scent was slowly aroused from his slumber. Sleepily stumbling into the main area of the house, and inhaling the heavenly odors coming from where the wolf was standing.

The fox shuffled up to the island bar that was placed behind the stove in the kitchen. Pulling up one of the bar stools that were placed around the outside of the bar he took a seat as his host turned and faced the wolf.

"Well looks like your feeling better, you feel up to eating something," the wolf offered.

The fox nodded eagerly in agreement, "Good, but first you might want to shower and put some clothes on." The wolf stated.

The fox looked at him inquisitively, and had not even realized until that moment that he was completely naked. "You can find clothes in the dresser of the room you were in, and the shower is the third door on your right." The wolf pointed out.

The fox now completely embarrassed covered himself and blushing headed toward the opposite side of the house, and did as he was instructed.

After returning from the shower and now dressed, the fox again took a seat at the island bar. The wolf took a plate filled with food and placed it in front of the young fox, who without hesitation dug into the delicious food.

The wolf pulled up another stool, sat across from the kit, and started on his own plate of food. After they were finished, the wolf collected the plates, and placed them in the dishwasher. Reaching into his shorts pocket the wolf pulled out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one from the pack, and taking a lighter from his other pocket lit it.

"So you got a name?" the wolf asked.

"Yes sir it's Thor, Thor Fox sir." He politely answered.

"Thor huh, named after the Norse god of thunder, well Thor my name is Kresnik Wolf but most people call me Kelsey." Kresnik answered. "Well Thor do you remember how you got here last night?" Kelsey asked.

"No sir, I remember master Hank taking me down stairs and... and..." Thor began to tear up as he tried to force out the next words, "He and these men they...they..." he then broke down and sobbed. Kelsey walked over to him and hugged him to his chest; the fox buried his muzzle into Kelsey's chest fur "I don't remember anything beyond that it's just blank" he sobbed.

"Well you were passed out in the street and I brought you in and put you to bed." Kelsey lied. He then flipped on the TV and turned on the morning news which was covering what happened at the bar last night. A voluptuous female tiger was placed in front of yellow police tape, as paramedics were wheeling bodies out on stretchers.

"This is Gale Claws reporting live from the scene of an apparent bloodbath outside Hank's Bar. It was reported that someone had viciously murdered Hank and three unidentified males last night around 1:00. The police are baffled as to who could have created the gruesome scene that we see before us. There have no reported witnesses as of yet, but we will keep you updated as more information comes in. Back to you, John." The tiger informed.

"Oh God, Oh God I killed them, I must have killed them! I don't remember I blacked out; did I kill them while I was blacked out? Oh God" Thor began ranting and pacing the floor, his eyes filling with tears, he did not think he could have been capable of something of that caliber

. He was terrified about what might happen to him. All these things ran through his head all at once until he collapsed onto his knees with his head planted in his hands. Kelsey seeing the pain he was in knelt down, grasped Thor's head, and lifted it to meet his eyes.

"Listen to me you didn't kill those people" He assured him.

"But how do you know that, you weren't there" Thor sobbed

.

"No I wasn't" the wolf lied, " but I know that I found you passed out in my yard at 12 and they said those guys died at 1 so you couldn't have killed them, and besides justice was served to them if you ask me. They got what they deserved for what they did to you."

The words seemed to bring comfort to the fox as he had stopped crying and had taken a seat upon the sofa. After awhile the drama had subsided and found Thor carelessly flipping through the channels while Kelsey was sitting in a leather recliner smoking a cigarette and reading the days newspaper.

Finishing his paper, he then disappeared into the back rooms and reemerged. He was wearing a red loose fitting tee shirt and jeans. Turning his attention to the fox on the couch he announced, "Alright I'm going to the store to pick up a few items. I'll be back in a few minutes, if you need anything help yourself, and uh, like I said I'll be right back."

He glanced at the fox whose red fur was glistening in the afternoon sun. The fox ran his claws through his indigo hair, while his icy blue eyes were glued to the TV. The shirt and shorts he had gotten from the wolf were draped over his body, as they were much too big for him. The wolf made a mental note to pick up some more fitting clothes for him while he was out. Kelsey then exited the house and climbed into the driver's seat of his blue Shelby cobra, he then sped off to run his errands.

Exiting the store Kelsey spots a familiar furry figure leaning up against his Cobra. This visage was Heidi, a voluptuous, curvaceous female Skunk. Heidi was dressed in tight fitting leather top, which cut off underneath her bosom, and a short leather mini skirt.

She wore black knee high boots and strapped to each of her thighs were two solid gold .45 caliber pistols. Her Dark Red hair rested across her shoulders and down to the middle of her back. Her bright yellow eyes sparkled as she saw the wolf approaching, and a rather mischievous grin showed off her exquisite fangs.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the great Kelsey Wolf." Heidi exclaimed lackadaisically. "I haven't seen you around here lately, you been busy shooting a movie or something."

"No Heidi, you know I am taking a break from doing porn." Kelsey explained. Moving her aside, he began to load the trunk of his car. "Besides you know I have only been directing lately, I haven't participated in over a year." He finished loading his car and hopped into the driver's seat to try to avoid what he knew was coming next.

"Well hun, you always know that there is a position for you at my club, and you can even bring that cute little friend you got the clothes for." She chuckled. Kelsey turning away from her blushing wishing she had not noticed.

"Alright Heidi I'll think it over and come see you tomorrow ok." He replied.

"That's all I want hun." She answered. Heidi straddled her motorcycle, gave Kelsey a wink and sped off. Kelsey started his car and headed home. Upon arriving at his seaside home, he was eagerly greeted by Thor as he opened the door.

"You're home!" the fox exclaimed excitedly hugging up on Kelsey, making him blush. "Come look at this on the TV," he said as he drug Kelsey by the claw to the vast den of the villa. A jet-black wolf with piercing green eyes and long crimson hair was addressing the viewers. The wolf was wearing an indigo colored trench coat and fedora, over a purple and orange pinstripe suit.

"We are suspending any further investigation into the murders at Hank's bar due to serious lack of evidence and sudden disappearances of the bodies of the victims. We are focusing all our man power on finding the missing bodies." The wolf stated. As the program continued Kelsey found himself focused on the wolf, he gripped the amulet that hung around his neck.

"No! It can't be. He can't be here. If he's here then they must not be far behind." Kelsey mumbled.

"Is some thing wrong Kelsey. What's the matter?" Thor asked pleadingly.

"Nothing Thor, it's nothing." Kelsey answered.

Shaking himself from his transfixion, he proceeded to put the store items away. The fox settled himself on the couch to finish watching the program wondering what Kelsey had said. The wolf began to arrange the various items in their proper place when he found the sack containing the garments he had purchased for Thor.

"Hey Thor catch." Kelsey exclaimed as he tossed the bag to the fox.

The Fox caught the bag and rustled through the contents of it. He then proceeded to remove the clothes he was wearing and to try on his new ones. As Thor was trying them on, Kelsey looked up from his task and for a moment turned his attention to the fox.

He noticed the fox's sleek build, and the slight forming of the muscles under his fur. The reddish orange fur of the fox glistened in the now setting sun that shone through the sliding glass doors of the living room.

Kelsey was now mesmerized by the fox and felt that he was blushing underneath his silver fur. Thor had noticed the enamored wolf, and began to put a little dance to his step. Kelsey shook himself out of his hypnosis and tried to finish what he was doing.

After finishing, Kelsey joined Thor, who was now sitting on the couch flipping through the channel on the TV. Kelsey sat down on the sectional sofa and put his hands behind his head trying to relax and muddle through the thoughts that now raced through his mind.

Thor, finding a program he decided was interesting, leaned back and glanced over to his wolf host. Thor's eyes scanned the sleek yet muscular build of Kelsey; he could clearly see the toned muscles through the shimmering silver fur.

It was apparent Kelsey had a slightly more tone look to him than Thor did. They sat there in silence for nearly an hour, Kelsey staring off into space while Thor grew bored of his program and began once again channel surfing.

"Hey Thor," Kelsey spoke up, "What say you and I go and see an acquaintance of mine."

"Sure Kelsey, whatever you want." Thor answered in excitement. They both made their way to the car to go and visit Heidi at her club.

They pulled in to the parking lot of the establishment. The bright neon sign above the club read 'The Lecherous Fur'. As they entered, they saw an arrangement of tables in front of a vast stage with poles precariously lining it.

Both Humans and Furs were watching as both male and female dancers entertained them. The bartender was busy filling drink orders and trying to keep the customers from groping the staff. Kelsey and Thor walked further in and from across the room they saw Heidi who was waving to them and beckoning them to come to her.

"Hey Hun, I was hoping to see you soon," Heidi answered "and this must be the little friend you bought the clothes for." Heidi now dressed in a tight fitting leather dress that cut off at the knee, lead them over to a table where they sat down.

"Kelsey, dear, how do you like my little place," she asked, "I built this place so both humans and furs could co-mingle and anyone with any sexual preference can enjoy some entertainment." She stated.

From across the room a blue haired human inside a booth behind a turntable beckoned for Heidi. "Sorry guys duty calls." Heidi said as she made her way to the center of the stage.

"Greetings y'all, and welcome to the finest adult establishment on the coast," she began, "Tonight we have a special treat for y'all. We are going around the world with a little thing I like to call ‘Flavors of the World'," she continued, " Each of our entertainers are going to take you to different countries from around the globe, all music will be brought to you courtesy of or personal DJ. Let's get this party started!" She shouted as she motioned to the man in the booth who started the music.

Heidi made her way back to the table where Kelsey and Thor were sitting. "Anyway as I was saying, this place was built so anyone could come and not be judged by who or what they are. Kinda like your films Kelsey." Heidi stated as she took her seat at the table. Heidi glanced around and took notice of the inquisitive look on the fox's face.

"I don't see how my films are anything like this, I did those movies solely for the money and that's it." Kelsey answered.

"Really that's not what I got from them, you may have acted for the money, but when you directed those last few you had gripping stories with heavy emotions to be simple pornos, Hun." Heidi reiterated. Thor now completely confused at this point spoke up.

"Umm what movies are we talking about?" Thor asked.

"So I see you haven't told him yet." Heidi said.

"No I hadn't, but I guess now is a good a time as any." Kelsey started turning his attention to Thor, "Well Thor, back several years ago I was approached by someone from a studio who wanted me to star in a movie, but he neglected to mention that it was an adult film. I reluctantly did the movie because I needed the money, and I was later contracted by the director to star in a few more. Then after it was over I took to directing my own to try and redeem some of my pride." Kelsey answered placing his head in his hands.

"Hun, don't be that way about it. You captivated an audience and me with your work. If it wasn't for your films I would have never built this place." Heidi exclaimed as she lifted Kelsey's head with her hand. "Also half of these dancers here would probably be dead or still workin' on the streets, if not for your movies inspiring me to build this place." Heidi stated.

"Thanks Heidi, I have always regretted the choices I made back then, but it seems that I have made the impact I sought for." Kelsey answered.

After some time of sharing stories and some laughs, the club employees began to close the business for the night. They said goodbye to each other and headed to their homes. Kelsey and Thor arrived at the beachside villa around 1:00 and crashed on the sofa, neither one ready for sleep, they walked out on the balcony that over looked the beach.

They both sat down looking at the almost full moon that illuminated the night sky. As they both stared out at the waves as they washed to the shore, the feelings they felt for each other began to rise to the surface. Thor sat up from the lounge chair he has in and turned to Kelsey.

"Kelsey," he stuttered, "I need to tell you something." Thor continued. Kelsey turned his head to look at the nervous fox. "I can't thank you enough for taking me in, and in the few days I've been here I can't help but have feelings for you." Thor confessed. Kelsey stood to his feet.

"Well Thor, I..." Kelsey began before the fox all of a sudden embraced him. He looked at Thor whose muzzle was buried in his chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around the fox and kissed him.

They stood there for what seemed like hours. The two felt closer to the other and did not want to let go. They passionately kissed one another. The wolf slowly ran his hand under the fox's shirt, but was abruptly stopped as Thor pulled away from him.

"I'm sorry Kelsey; I'm just not ready to go that far yet. What Hank and the others did to me I'm just not ready for that part yet." Thor stuttered.

The fox then told the wolf that the man used him as a sex slave for his patrons. He continued to tell him of how he was molested by a friend when he was a child and then abandoned by his parents. The fox then fell to his knees sobbing. Kelsey knelt down, and embraced him.

"Don't worry Thor as long as you're here I'll protect you." The wolf proclaimed. Kelsey picked Thor up and took him to the fox's bedroom. He laid him on the bed and kissed him on the brow.

"Now, get some sleep, you'll feel better in the morning." Kelsey said in a soft caring tone.

"Thanks for understanding Kel." Thor sniffled.

"I understand Thor; you've been through a lot in your life." The wolf answered.

Kelsey left and shut the door behind him. Kelsey lay in his own bed staring at the ceiling, in his claw was the amulet that he wore around his neck. The jewel in the center now had begun to flash. "Damn I don't have much time left." He said as he placed the amulet back around his neck and went to sleep.

The next day went by like any normal day. Kelsey and Thor had now begun to feel more comfortable with each other. As night began to fall, the two sat on the beach and watched the full moon slowly rise over the calm ocean.

They watched as the clouds rolled across the full moon. The amulet around Kelsey's neck began to flash slowly dimming slightly with every flash. Then the flashes stopped causing Kelsey to feel a pain shooting through his head.

Kelsey gripped his head in his claws and howled in excruciating pain. As he howled, huge bat-like wings ripped their way out of his back. Sharp horns pierced their way out of the top of his head. The muscles underneath his fur bulged and grew. His emerald green eyes became blood red. Kelsey the lifted his head and howled, his transformation now complete.

Thor stood in awe at the monstrous visage that stood in the place of his companion. "Kelsey?" The fox asked shaking. The creature made it's was toward the trembling fox. Thor was lifted off his feet in the claws of this monster.

The creature's face showed nothing but pure malice, as the creature stared at the shaking fur in his claws. Thor looked into the eyes of the huge behemoth, and saw the bloodlust that was there. The creature raised a claw to strike the prey he held in his other claw.

As its claw came down to surely kill the fox it was stopped as if by some unseen force. Thor looked up at the creature and for an instant saw, the emerald eyes of Kelsey as the creature set Thor down and suddenly flew off into the dark sky.

Thor stood there in a daze as her saw the creature almost fly out of sight. Without hesitation, Thor ran inside the house, grabbing the car keys and his cell phone, started the car and followed the creature. Quickly dialing on the phone he waited in anticipation as a voice answered on the other end.

"Hello" the voiced answered.

"Ms.Heidi its Thor, listen something has happened to Kelsey and I need your help." Thor rushed.

"Hold on Hun, slow down you're talking too fast." Heidi said sleepily.

Thor caught his breath and told her all that transpired. About the time he finished he noticed that the creature had landed. Pulling up to where the creature landed, Thor parked the car and stood outside the gates of an old cemetery.

"Ok Hun, you're gonna have to tell me where your at." Heidi stated.

"It's ‘Goddess Acres' the old cemetery." Thor relayed to her.

"Ok Hun, I'm on my way." Heidi said as she slipped on some clothes.

Thor eased the gates of the cemetery open and ventured in carefully. Across the way, he spotted the creature. Thor crept closer and saw as the creature placed the amulet on what seemed like an altar of some sort.

As the amulet was placed, a single beam of light shot from the moon and struck both the amulet and the creature, causing the creature to fall to its knees. As the light struck the creature, the wings receded into its back and the horns in its head.

Where the creature was, Kelsey now knelt. As the light receded, Kelsey reached up weakly, grabbed the amulet and placed it around his neck before passing out. Thor raced over to the collapsed wolf and lifted him up, straining the fox tried to take his companion back to the car.

Heidi entered the cemetery, and upon seeing Thor rushed over to help the struggling fox. The both of the placed Kelsey into the car and headed to the villa. They got into the house, laid him down on the couch, and covered him up.

"Thanks Heidi, I couldn't have done it without you." Thor commented.

"You're welcome Hun, by the way what happened back there." She asked.

Thor told her what happened as she made each of them a cup of coffee. Upon hearing the entire story, Heidi was almost sure what was going on. The two talked for a while until a very tired Kelsey joined them at the table.

"I guess I need to explain a few things." He said as he poured himself some coffee and pulled up a chair.

"Well let me say, I'm not what you think I am," he began, "I am what is called a ‘High Demon', meaning that I am one of the offspring of the Devil and a celestial being of some sort. In me and my siblings case the Goddess of Dark Chaos, Helba." He continued, "I am not the only one, I have two younger brothers and a sister. We were charged with bringing chaos and darkness to this world by our father." He explained. Both Heidi and Thor looked on with intrigue.

"So what about your mother and what's the deal with that amulet?" Heidi asked.

"My mother was imprisoned by my father shortly after we were born and sealed her deep within an alternate dimension. As far as the amulets go, they were a gift from our mother to help keep our demonic power under control, but they must be recharged at every full moon and if we over use our power we revert back and are overtaken by our primal instincts." Kelsey answered.

"I was able to regain control thanks to you Thor. I have lived thousands of years and seen many things, like the fall of the Roman Empire. I have deviated from the task given to me, and in the last months I have noticed that My siblings have located me and will no doubt relay my location to Father and I will be taken back." He exclaimed.

He stood up from the table and gripping the amulet in his claw, "Heidi, can I ask a favor of you?" He asked.

"Sure Hun, What is it?" she offered.

"Can you take Thor with you and watch over him until I am sure that I'm no longer being pursued?" He asked. As he turned to her, she could clearly see the tears starting to form in his eyes.

"Sure Hun, He can stay with me for as long as you need." She replied. Kelsey made his way over to the couch and sat down as Heidi grabbed Thor by the claw and started to leave. The fox struggling against her with every step, fighting to stay with the one he cared for.

"Kelsey please, I can help you, I want to stay here with you." Thor pleaded with him as tears started steaming down the fox's face. Kelsey turned away as the fox was drug out and taken away. Tears now streamed down the wolf's muzzle as he placed his head in his claws.

"I'm sorry Thor, but this is bigger than you or me." He whispered.
