Half an hour had passed before Ben encountered the werewolf; it stared at him, its yellow eyes searching the deepest part of Ben for fear. It sniffed the air cautiously, Ben stood tall frozen with fear, his hand trembling so much that if the lycanthrope charged at him, he would not be able to get a clear shot. As the werewolf approached Ben it sniffed again, turning slowly it saw Kristina's and Kelly's bows aimed at its head, kicking a cow's head at them it sped off deep into the woods. Ben still stood there frozen, a line of damp showing in his trousers. Kristina rounded up the hunters and took them back home, Ben changed and scoured the libraries to look for ways to kill the werewolf's, he had heard of silver bullets. And had tried to melt down silver, but was unsuccessful. Kelly and Kristina asked around the villagers to ask for any silver they had and asked the service of a local steel monger, he melted down the silver and made bullets for Kelly's Kristina's and Ben's guns.
Ben swotted up on werewolves for days and shared the information with the other hunters, they agreed a plan to round the werewolf into a corner paddock where either Kelly or Kristina could despatch the beast. They planned to set off at the next full moon and went into training, to run faster and to duck and cover in a matter of seconds. Ben was terrified that he would be on his own with the werewolf again and begged to be put with Kristina and Kelly. As they showed true fearlessness and courage.
The next full moon the party set out to capture the beast, again they split up and Ben found himself with the werewolf again, he hid behind a rock and prayed for it to go away. Unfortunately for him the werewolf picked up the rock and threw it. Then he picked Ben up and punched him hard, they started fighting and Ben threw some good punches, he took some blows too. Ben finally found a knife and began stabbing the werewolf wherever he could. The werewolf deflected most of the blows and kept coming at Ben, He bit and clawed at Ben's perfect skin and stained it red with blood, Tired and both knocked about the battling two fought on. Ben managed to kick the werewolf in the nose and it stood there stunned for a while, giving Ben enough time to run away. Ben ran as fast as he could and cleared bushes and uprooted trees. The werewolf howled in pain and anger. Ben turned quickly but kept on running. He ran into Kelly who was collecting firewood for the family home, he leapt into her arms and pleaded with her to keep him safe, she took him home and Kristina tended to his wounds, he told the story of the fight and was trembling fiercely. They allowed him to stay at their home for the night; he seemed very humble that night and unknowingly showed a side to himself that he had never shown anyone.
The family retired to bed and waited for a howl or the sound of an animal in pain, which did not come. The night was still and quiet.
Morning came swiftly and the villagers crowded around Ben to hear about his encounter with the deadly thing now roaming their forest, Kristina and Kelly sharpened their knives, they felt something in their bones, they knew something bad was going to happen that night, something bad and they planned to stop it. They told no one and spent the day in complete silence to everyone else but each other, they devised a plan so that they would be able to trap the beast and stun it. The night seemed long and drawn out. The sisters kept watch out of their window and clocked everyone's movements and knew instinctively who was missing, it was a young man called Matthew Willis, he kept himself to himself and had a v small clique of friends, they were James bourne and Charlie Simpson. The girls knew of them and thought they were pretty cute but never really spoke to them. As the girls conversed about Matthew, they saw him and his friends sneak out of the pub and stagger home, they also saw the werewolf creeping up on them ready to pounce, Kelly and Kristina grabbed their rifles and fired them at the werewolf, It missed.
They flew downstairs and shoulder barged the boys into an alley, Kristina fired again, a direct hit. Kelly was not far behind, she flung her knives at the werewolf and everyone pierced the skin. The werewolf slashed them both across the face and ran off. Kelly and Kristina lay on the ground, too shocked to move, Matt, James and Charlie sobered up at once when they saw what had happened, they picked the sisters up and carried them back to their home where they tended to the facial injuries.
