Chapter six.
The truth at last.

It was the night of the full moon the night when things change and the unexpected happens.

Henry was sitting with Catherine outside on the porch when the full moon came up he had brought her hear for this very reason he wanted to see if her love was real.

She looked at him the moon over his shoulders and suddenly said "why are you sweating on such a cold night"? "My God Henry what’s happening to you your swelling up"!She screamed and would have fallen of the porch but he caught her she screamed louder as his hands became claws his eyes started glowing yellow and his nose became a wolf noise! She tried pulling free but his grip was strong.

Suddenly something made him let her go and she ran and ran not heading the voices of the two sisters telling her not to leave the house and danger.

She ran out into the forest screaming all the way and collapsed by a small pond!
A rustled in the trees made her look up and she froze coming toward her on ether side were wolves sneering and growing she was frozen and trapped behind her a pound of water around her 12 or so wolves coming toward her . She shut her eyes sure that now she was gone and going to see her father. She braced herself ready for the first leap but it never came instead she heard a louder growl and whimpers like hurt Dogs she peaked one eye and saw a huge wolf ten times her size almost as large as a bear slashing about tossing the wolves aside as if they were nothing more then rocks. Soon all the wolves had ether run off or were dead! She then opened her eyes and saw the monster wolf he looked at her his eyes glowing yellow as the moonlight shone over him then he stood up and cautiously walked toward her she stepped back and fell into the pound. He stopped in his tracks and stood there watching her she didn’t move only stared at him swallowing sometimes and shutting her eyes but every time she opened her eyes he was still there looking at her then she noticed something there was a pool of blood by his leg. All fear disappeared from her and she stood up and walked toward him he went back a few inches limping as he did so.

It’s ok she said I want to help you he whimpered and walked back a few more inches what’s wrong she thought to herself if this is Henry and he is what I think he is then why this fear of me now that I want to help him .

Suddenly a light shone on the wolf and he shivered the moon was almost gone he howled so loud Catherine shut her eyes and covered her ears as the howl screeched through the forest when it was over and she looked to the place where the wolf was in his place was Henry! His cloths were torn with cuts and tears and on his leg was a gash indented with marks that looked like wolf teeth!

She slowly walked toward him his　silver medallion hug about his neck as he opened his eyes they had a faraway look in the eyes which still glowed he stared at her with scared eyes for some time with no recognisation in his eyes finally the medallion glowed so brightly she had to look away when she looked again his eye were back to there normal color and he was looking at her with a face that showed worry .

She smiled at him and looked at her with a surprised face as he choked out the words "you are not afraid"? "Oh I am afraid as well as puzzled and awed and everything else you can imagine but you are still Henry and I love you for your heart not your face or your shape although I must say you are very handsome as a man".

He smiled at her "you know you warmed up to me much faster then my sisters did I was expecting much more screaming and locking yourself up in your room for a week that is what they did"! Catherine smiled "well you see I am nothing like your sisters and I am sure they did not run out of the house or have you save t here lives from wolves". "No they did not those wolves are going to hold a grudge against me for some time now I usually am on friendly terms with them this was the first time I had to attack them I need to apologize to them next time I see them".
"I am sorry about that said　Catherine apologize to them from me to maybe we can all be friend".s Henry laughed then winced "oh"1 said Catherine with concern "dose this happen to you every time I mean look at your skin it is covered in scares."
"Yes every time war wolfs are known to attack themselves and it always hurts when I change it leaves a scare every time" ."The one on your shoulder the silver scare that was glowing and looks like fang marks"?"The mark of the war wolf the scare will never go away it was left there by the one who turned me into the monster I am". Catherine looked at him with sympathy and said "come lets get you home and clean up your leg I am glad they didn’t break any bones". "So am "I. Said Henry as she helped him to his feet. "While you recover you can　tell me the whole truth about yourself and I can spend much more time with you on the excuse that I am your nurse I am sure your sisters will not object"? He smiled "on the contrary they will be more then happy they had been waiting most impenitently for you to find out and they are going to be ecstatic when they find out that you took it so well" .
"I am glad of it". Said Catherine "come lets get you home before this gets infected"!

He nodded and stood up with her and they slowly made there way back toward home.
