Ten Years Later
“Are we going to take our pills today Caine?”
Caine stared balefully at the orderlie grinning at him from between the bars. His eyes flicked briefly to the girl making faces behind her before he turned his attention back to the ceiling.
“Are we going to fuck off today?” he asked her in the same cheery voice she had spoken to him.
“Well, I’ll take that as a no. You should come out today Caine and socialize.” She waited to see if he would say something but when he didn’t she sighed and went to go make more rounds.
Caine looked away from the ceiling once she walked away. He hated this place but at the same time this was his home. He had been here ever since the old man had dropped him off that morning with nothing more than the clothes on his back. His file said that the old man had come out of his room to see him standing in a pool of blood and the battered body of a large dog was at his feet. He had been mumbling something about murder, alphas and werewolves and then he had curled into a ball and started to sob uncontrollable and then…nothing. He had just been a blank slate. His file said that that there had apparently been some tramua that he wanted to forget about. He remembered it now. Caine just didn’t want to talk about it.
“Caine, Caine, Caine.”
Heaving a sigh he got off the bed and walked toward the door were Crayola stood making faces at him. Crayola wasn’t her real name of course but that’s what she remind him of with her mismatch of make-up.
“What?” he growled.
“Come out!”
“Go bother someone else,” he snapped. She shrugged and raced off.
Shaking his head Caine headed out of his room and walked downstairs. The room fell quiet when he entered as everyone turned to stare at him before they hastily looked away. He saw that Crayola had went to mess with some other people and they didn’t look very pleased to have their game interrupted. Smiling he walked over to the window and stared out. He could feel the new orderlie looking at him.
“Don’t even think about it,” he said calmly. “You might intimidate all the others here but I don’t give a shit that you used to work at a maximum security prison. You ain’t there now so fuck off.” The orderlie looked away without a word and Caine headed toward a card table.
“Hey Flameboy, wanna play some cards?” His low rumble cut through the chatter and reached the person he was talking to.
“Why do you call me that?”
Dealing out the cards Caine shrugged. “Your entire family died in a fire and all you do is sit around staring into the fake fireplace. I have nicknames for everyone here.”
He nodded toward the other table. “You see Curly over there? Has some kind of hair phobia. He can’t stand hair on his body so he spends hours checking himself for body hair. Crayola there wears a ton of make-up to hide the sins. Apparently she did something , no one knows what, but when she starts feeling guilty she’ll pile on the make-up. I haven’ figured out the new chick yet. Give me time.”
They played a few hands before Flameboy cleared his throat. “What about you? What are you-”
“Wrong question. Game over.”
He walked out of the room only to hear Flameboy yelling at Curly ‘to get off the fucking table!’ Grinning he headed toward the kitchen but stopped when he heard low whispering. Looking he realized it was the new orderlie. There was something about her that made him uneasy. At odd times he would find her staring at him. Crouching down he listened to her conversation.
“I think I’ve found him alpha. Yes, he does look sickly. No, it won’t be a problem to slip him the same drug that you gave his father. I have it on me. Yes sir, I can do it tonight.”
Shit! This place was no longer safe. It was time for him to go. He knew it was only a matter of time before Ethan found him. He had thought it would be sooner than this but…he shrugged and then backtracking came out of the room whistling. The orderlie smiled at him.
“Hello Caine.”
“Hello.” Bitch. Literally.
Caine had never anyone guide him through the process of changing. Luckily his first change had occurred late at night when everyone was asleep. The first change was the hardest and was the only one that was uncontrollable. His dad had always wanted to share that experience with him. Shaking his head he got up from the bed. There was a flash of light, like a light bulb popping and then a large wolf slipped out from the room.
He could have left at any time but now he HAD to leave. And he was going to the emergency place he and his dad had always talked about.
Hopefully it was still there.

Oh good, he got away
Wow, his family (minus Ethan and co) must really miss him after ten years. They probably think he’s dead, I’m guessing?
[Reply]
I’m signed onto my other account but anyways…
They would never admit it aloud if they did since Ethan is now alpha. However, it was really just Caine and his dad. Of course the pack but…they have the pack mentality. I’ll get into his past one of these days!
BTW…I’m half way through with your story! I’m really enjoying it!
[Reply]
OMG, Crayola! LOL! I died.
This is really great so far.
And that nuthouse really needs some work. That can’t be healthy for the inmates.
Ok, so if you’re alpha, then you lead the pack. But what are your rights, privileges and benefits? Or am I totally getting ahead of the story?
[Reply]
Marshal seems so…uncaring. Screw you and your mercedes!
A bunch of crazies, yay! I love crazies. But evil orderlies, I do not love.
Poor Caine…will he ever find a safe place?
[Reply]
I am so rooting for Caine,
once again stunning writing and descriptions actually I think he and Jay should pair up, they would make a perfect team. LOL! Love his quick wit and sharp tongue!!!
I loved that shot of the patient dancing around on the table, literally cracked up. You have such a talent with writing and screens!!!
BRAVO!!!
[Reply]
Haha! Man, I’ll have to do some outtakes! I caked on her make-up! And she LOVED it!
Pen, you are SOOO getting ahead of the story! LOL!! I’ll be getting into that…somewhere done the road!
LOL @ the nuthouse! Caine picked that room! All the others were nicely done!
[Reply]
Elecy, Marshal is the type of character who really doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Thankfully he was only in this chapter…I think!
[Reply]
I am too Cherie! I am too! I just zoned out at work because I started thinking about this! haha! I love when I get ideas but it’s bad when they take over my thoughts!
Haha!! Oh that would be awesome! Him and Jay strolling down the street!
Thanks so much Cherie!
[Reply]
Fascinating tale! You always come up with the most unusual combinations — I sure wouldn’t have suspected Crayola! And wasn’t sure where you were going at first, so this was a wonderful surprise!
[Reply]
Thanks Beth! Most of the time I don’t know where I’m going! Just the general direction! LOL!
[Reply]
Very interesting take on werewolf mythology, making it hereditary, and inheriting the right to be leader of the pack.
Wow, I think anyone who uses pets in their stories are great. I one time only used one dog that had to lay on a pillow, just about drove me crazy even using cheats. And you’ve done a wonderful job with them.
I really like the guy on the table. Great inmates.
Looking forward to see where this goes. Oh, btw, Caine sure grew up nice.
[Reply]
YAY he got away!!!
It was so sad that they put him in that mental hospital… but oh well at least it kept him safe…
if he was able to kill a beta when he was only 10, imagine what he would be able to do now!!! I’m sure he will eventually kill Ethan!!!
Wonderful update!!!
[Reply]
LOL! I couldn’t kill off Caine so early!
I think he ENJOYED being in the hospital! He has a sick kind of humor!
Oh yes! I have plans for Caine and Ethan!
[Reply]
Ooo digg’n the new banner. That font is wicked.
[Reply]
First of all, I love what you did with the blog. It looks fantastic and the banner is great!
Now to the tale. I am very intrigued by what happened in the 10 years since Caine killed the wolf. He sure seems quite hardened but then he would have to be. And very twisted I think.
I love these glimpses! Great work!
[Reply]
LOL Pen! I’ve changed it like three times! I think this is the one I’m going to stick with it! It’s called*goes take a quick peek* Inked God! I think I got it from da font or something like that!
And thanks!
[Reply]
Thanks Gayl!
Oh yeah…he’d have to be hardened. Knowing he’s not crazy but still being in the ward? That would be enough to DRIVE you crazy! And yeah…he is twisted…not in a bad way just..twisted!
It’ll come out more!
[Reply]
LOL, LOVE the crazy house! Everything was so spot on and very unique characters you made there!
I really loved the darkened shots with the wolf, just enough light to see what was happening. Made it that much more intense!
I am so loving this story, I hope you keep going with it-so far it is just great!
[Reply]
LOL Emily! I had fun doing this prompt! I don’t know where I came up with the idea for those characters but they had me cracking up!
Thanks!I was viewing them on the computer at work and they were so much darker than on my computer at home…I was worried that people wouldn’t be able to see them! :S
I intended to keep this story going! Look at how many prompts I still have to do!
I’m glad you like it!
[Reply]
I was sure I had managed to comment, but lets just leave it as me being such a blonde at the moment.
Caine is very lucky that even being isolated his instincts are strong enough to have kicked in. He has quite a good sense of people as well that should hold him in good stead. It should be interesting to see what happened in the last 10 years and what impact its going to have on him now. Quite a survivor that boy.
[Reply]
Read both chapters, nicely done, and your shots were very well done, an intriguing beginning, you have pulled me in.
[Reply]
Goodbye_sun, sometimes blogger eats posts! LOL!Yes, he is! I will be showing pertinent information of what went down with Caine and also what went on with the pack during the last ten years!
[Reply]
Okay I am loving this story too!
[Reply]
Haha! Thanks FRH! Appreciate you dropping by and taking a peek at this one as well!
[Reply]
Poor Cain! My goodness, what a past to have. And OMG!! When I read “They were barking and howling and there was this tearing sound.” I VISIBLY CRINGED. Like, it just sort of hit me WHO was the tearing sound and… oh boy. Poor, poor Cain.
I had to hold back a “HELL YES!” + fist pump at him killing that bothersome wanna-be alpha.
And now he’s in the nutty ward. Poor Cain!

*hides head* Gah! I hate looking at these earlier pics! There’s so much I want to change but I won’t! Yeah…that’s not something that I’d want to go through at my current age. Let alone so young.
You and me both! WOOT!!
[Reply]
Oh wow! Why has no one ever showed this to me before – it’s enthralling! I’ve only read the first two entries and I feel so attached to Caine and that second to last picture of Caine transforming is lovely!
Sorry about tagging on a bit late in the game. Hope you don’t mind; I always was a slow starter

Haha! I don’t advertise much! Just at Simfic so that may be why!
And thank you!
I appreciate that! That’s how I feel about Caine as well! Even if he can be a idiot sometimes!
No worries!
The more the merrier! And I know EXACTLY what you mean! I am too!
