ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 13: Emasculated by a Former Crush

Chapter 13

Emasculated by a Former Crush

Like an angel of vengeance she appeared, right when Johnny least expected her to. This was not the resolution he had been hoping for when he first awoke to find that he had suddenly become the center of Central’s dating scene.

It started with a great review, then a message that he thought was a hoax, but now wondered otherwise. Especially after the confrontation, then the way Alexa Thyme, the Alexa Thyme, snapped her mechanical pencil in half and sent the top end flying to the front of the room.

Still, he had managed to recover. He was lured out here to these woods to a spot Veronica Stone swore no one could see. Of course, from the center Johnny could see everything, which logically meant that everyone else could also see everything. But that didn’t matter because as soon as he and Veronica both sat down, it was extra-inning rules, meaning he was already on second base.

The reason I went with Veronica was for one simple reason, we were both 18 and thus considered consenting adults. Just because a class hadn’t appeared for either of us, didn’t mean much. Sometimes people waited as long as 21 to get their classes unlocked. There was a junior college program that I had been looking into, but that was before this perfect Monday started. Well mostly perfect, he began at second base, and there seemed to be at least a partial attraction.

Then things went sideways. First Veronica started acting all weird.

“Hey, did you hear that?” She asked, looking around the clearing. Where, if we sat up, we could clearly see everyone practicing their different sports. The baseball team was out doing fielding practice, while the football team was, well they were over on the practice field, but the football could clearly be seen getting tossed about.

Still, she managed to calm down long enough so that he could get back to second base. Then finally, it was go time. She pushed him down, then straddled him.

It was amazing.

He was so excited that it didn’t even matter that he had one obstacle in his way.

That’s when things went sideways. He was leaning back and closed his eyes. He was more than happy with letting Veronica set the pace.

“AHH! Oh my god, what is that!” Veronica screamed.

“Oh, come on, it doesn’t look that bad, does it?” Johnny said, sitting up and getting second base pressing into his face, for his troubles.

Veronica for her part didn’t seem to notice, as she screamed. “No, not that you moron, look behind you…”

Yeah, because that is what all guys do, look behind them, when second base is right there, bouncing in their face. Johnny thought to himself.

“Wha,” Was all he managed, before he heard the low blood curdling chitter of a creature.

He of course had seen the documentaries, hell they had just had the briefing on being safe, not two hours ago. Still, here he was, staring at a werewolf with a gorgeous woman on his boxers, while his pants were down around his ankles.

Veronica was not as clothingly challenged as he now found himself. She still had on her skirt, lace bra, and stockings. Johnny did note that she began quickly pulling her garments, one of which was apparently underneath Johnny. A fact he found out, when she pushed him over to grab her now grass stained blouse off the ground.

She was out of the clearing faster than you can say, “I think your dad just got home.”

That of course left Johnny, with his pants around my ankles. His Garfield boxers being the only think keeping my modesty, for the moment. Johnny honestly thought he was going to die. Another school yard horror story of why you don’t make out on the back fields behind school.

Then, she appeared. The goddess.

She already had a thin layer of sweat built up, giving her toned muscles a gleam to them that was hard to ignore.

“Ahh!” Alexa screamed, then sent the werewolf that had been inches away from Johnny.

Well okay, it was likely feet, but easily within werewolf jumping distance, which must be over a hundred feet right? Johnny’s mind raced as he tried to keep up with what was happening.

Anyways, she was there, then she was a blur.

Fists flew, striking the werewolf so hard he almost thought PETA would have a grievance case, if they caught wind of this fight.

Then to his horror he saw that very thought, coming to life. Veronica was now filming and likely live streaming the whole event. At least that is what the light on the back of her phone seemed to signify. Then the narration, seemed to also add to the fact that she chose now of all times to live stream.

“Oh, my gods, so like that is Johnny Mitchel. He was in the woods and about to get eaten by this werewolf, when out of nowhere his crazy girlfriend comes and starts beating the crap out of the werewolf.” Veronica states, as she whips the phone around, constantly trying to get images of Alexa punching the werewolf so hard that it goes rolling back. Then kneeing it in the face, gouging the eyes.

Even with weights holding her down, she was faster and stronger than the werewolf. She was faster and stronger than anyone had the right to be.

Then she began to glow.

“Hey Romeo, why don’t you put your pussy away.” Veronica said, teasingly.

At that, Johnny looked down and had a flashback to every kid’s worst nightmare. The one where they are at school with their boxers showing. Shaken he quickly pulled up his pants and began scrambling out of the area.

Then feeling the cold wind on his back, he looked forward to see that the two were still fighting. But now the fight was even more one sided. While their motions were too fast to follow, he could see that it was the werewolf that constantly got knocked to the ground, while Alexa was there stalking her.

Then Johnny saw an image that sent a chill down his back.

She was smiling.

Worse, it wasn’t that practiced fake smile all sociopaths do to try to fit in on yearbook photos. Instead, this was the smile a sociopath would give a cornered victim.

“Give me.” Alexa said.

Then Johnny didn’t know what happened. She just held out her hand like she was Lord Vader instilling accountability throughout the universe. Then the werewolf collapsed and began to convulse as if they were choking.

But not force choking, but actually choking.

The werewolf began to revert back, somehow the wolf that had been beaten to within an inch of its life, began to change.

Grotesque arms, slimy skin, and cracking bones could all be heard popping, flexing, and tearing. Then slowly the snout caved in, the muscles were less muscular.

Then, finally there was just a girl. A hot naked girl, that had blood stains on their mouth.

Johnny, of course turned away to give the girl some modesty.

As he turned around, he saw that Veronica was still recording.

“What the frick. I just got censored for streaming porn. That is B.S.! Wait, and my account is now banned?” Veronica swore into her phone. She was still recording, but now rather than being live streamed, it apparently only went to her phone.

While Veronica was having an existential crisis from having her account banned, apparently for the first time.

Johnny wondered what was happening.

BLEH!

There was the sound of someone vomiting.

On reflex Johnny turned towards the sound, only to wish he hadn’t. The girl was still naked, but her back was now turned away from them. In front of her was a pile of chewed and bloody meat scraps. Apparently, werewolves do not chew their food thirty-two times before swallowing.

Johnny then watched as Alexa looked around, then saw Johnny’s long sleeve shirt on the ground. She went over to get it, at which point Johnny thinking the coast was clear, went over to grab it from her. Only he was surprised to see her turnabout abruptly and take the shirt over to the new girl. The girl that had just been a fully changed werewolf, something there was allegedly no coming back from. Still here was the girl, who had just been a werewolf one minute. Now wearing his Monday shirt and letting blood stains seep through the cottony material.

“That will wash out, right?” Johnny muttered to himself, as he looked at his favorite shirt getting ruined. He wasn’t much for superstition, but he was one for habits, and he did believe that starting the week off right, with the correct shirt was always important. Now he would not have that option.

By this point quite a few voices could be heard coming.

Before they could get anywhere nearby, Alexa held out a hand.

“Stop! Get an ambulance and a blanket.” Alexa said.

Everyone stopped to see Alexa still wearing her weighted vestments for cross country standing over a woman who was clearly only wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt for a boy.

“Alexa?” The voice of Luke, Alexa’s brother called out from the masses.

“I think you will need that card.” Alexa said.

Luke looked confused for a moment, then looked around, then to the girl. “Julie? Julie Swinton?” Luke asked, clearly recognizing the girl from somewhere.

“Luke.” The girl first said, before turning “Luke, never calls you back for a second date, Thyme?” She seethed. She was about to stand up, that was when Alexa pushed her down.

Squish.

Right back into her pile of vomited meat parts.

The girl looked outraged for a moment.

“Wait until you get a blanket first, then beat up my brother.” Alexa said, in as cold of a voice as possible.

There was no sign of the smiling sociopath that Johnny was certain he saw just moments ago. Instead, all he saw was the calm, cold, collected woman he had built up an unhealthy infatuation with.

Sirens carried on the crisp fall air.

Sniff. Sniff.

The girl, Alexa Thyme, just sniffed the air. “Too late brother. Looks like we just need the blanket, as Mr. Bullford is already here.”

Everyone turned to see the werewolf Progenitor from their afternoon safety briefing show up. Apparently, he had been hanging around the school, that was the only reason he could have arrived on the scene so quickly.

“Just what is going on here?” Bullford asked.

“Werewolf attack.” Alexa said, then putting herself between the Tri-State Investigation unit lead, the girl who was clearly now under her protection, and every other student who dared get too close.

“Give me your jacket.” Alexa said, holding out her hand as if it was the most natural thing to order. For a dollar more she could make it a value meal. That sort of thing. But that was Alexa Thyme for you.

The officer was confused for a second, but then did what she said. With a quick motion he took off his nice black jacket top and handed it over to Alexa. Alexa nodded, then turned around to the female.

“Was she a victim?” The now jacketless Bullford asked.

“No, she was the friggin werewolf.” Veronica chimed in, still filming everything.

“You filmed it all?” Bullford asked.

“Yeah, then they kicked me off live streaming, said I was airing porn.” Veronica said, keeping her priorities straight, the loss of access to her social media account.

Watching her, Johnny couldn’t even think of why he liked her. At least that was his first thought, until he saw the way that she hadn’t quite put on her shirt correctly, showing double-d reasons for him to have chosen poorly.

Rustle.

Johnny heard the rustling of leaves, before he even realized that Bullford was there. “Good, I will need this as evidence.”

“What? That’s like my phone. You can’t just take it.” Veronica said, as she tried to claw at the werewolf’s hand, trying to get him to let go of her phone.

During this time, everyone was so distracted on the scene caused by Veronica and the agent, that Johnny completely missed the moment when Alexa got Julie up and covered by the large chested officer’s jacket.

“We are ready to go in.” Alexa said.

At that, Bullford nodded. Then the next second he was over next to the girl.

“Do you go to school here?” Bullford asked.

“Where are we exactly?” The former werewolf, Julie asked.

“We are at Central.”

“What, no? I go to North? How did I get here?”

“Don’t worry, we will work it all out. For the moment just rest.” Bullford said, as he picked up the girl like she weighed nothing. Then looked like he was about to leave before he turned back to Alexa.

“You, come with me.” Then he turned to face Veronica and Johnny. “You two, don’t go anywhere.”

Then he began running away, Alexa surprisingly was easily able to stay with the progenitor.

Finally, with everyone gone. All eyes turned to Johnny and Veronica.

There was a moment of silence, before everyone started asking questions.
