“Help me! Please help me!” were the last words we heard before the gnashing, clawing and fighting began.

“Hold on Way2!” cried Twyla as she, Leilana and Queen Thorazine began rummaging through the medical bag looking for something, anything, to help Way2 win the battle now threatening to take over her, again.

The “MB Forces” were going to defcon 27 and now mobilizing for all out support.

“Where’s Myad?” inquired 2ofakind “We’ve got to keep him out of the way. Who can keep him occupied? This could get messy, again.”

“You can fight this!” called Stillwed as she and Kat72 thumbed through their books on constructive living. “Find anything on daemon possession?” inquired Still_his_only_love

The snarling increased.

The MB Muslim women were the first to try and hold her down. JustLearning, Forevehers, sufdb, Chris -CA123, seeing the chance came forward to try to lay hands. Foreverhers began the prayer but stopped all of a sudden when a loud cry of pain rang out.

He looked up to see sufdb clasping his hand over a large, bleeding bite mark. “She bit me the b….”

“Sufdb!” cried JL in a shocked warning

“No, look she’s turning into a dog!” sufdb pointed to the fluffy husky like tail way2 now had.

An MB crowd began to gather.

Finding nothing Tylwa and QT sent Leilana off for some industrial, make an elephant stop and go to sleep while still charging, tranquilizers. They now ministered to sufdb’s wound and began to set up a triage unit.

Way2 took the pause as an opportunity to escape her captors as she rent holes in all the robes, jilbabs, and thobes those holding her down were wearing. This sent off them screaming and way2 had her objective, she was free!

The snarling, continued, she began baying at the moon, a large PB began to appear on her chest.

Riff shuddered “I’ve seen this before and it won’t be pretty”

Chorus had been out in the side lines with his trusty reporters notebook writing down all the happenings and what the MB faithful thought of the scene they were witnessing, but he couldn’t take it any longer “Come on 2oaks” he cried as if picking up the fallen standard and advancing up the battlefield toward the enemy.

“Agrace, Calypso, and the MB choir, I have an idea. You know how they say music hath charms? Well 2oaks and I will hold her down and you all sing something.”

“What?” inquired Agrace

“Anything!” replied chorus

He turned around ready to grab Way2 but out of the corner of his eye caught the MB Pagans making a circle of salt around way2.

“Hey look!” Nick123 called to the group and he pointed to way2 “she’s using it as a salt lick.”

“To bad we don’t have any margaritas mixed” said OtG

“Drat another idea blown” Riff said in despair as an MB Pagan handed him a necklace of blue beads.

“What are these for?” Riff asked the pagan.

“Blue, for protection”

“I don’t need them, I have . . . “

“They aren’t for you. They are for Myad, he’s going to need all the help he can get.” Offered the pagan… “Please see that he get’s them.”

“I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROOOOAAARRR!” came an unholy sound from way2’s throat.

Oz gulped “Okay, but if her head does a 360 I’m out of here!”

Way2 began to cackle wildly.

“The transformation is almost complete!” AMMartin stood in disbelief

“Weigee do something! Don’t you folks make chicken soup or something?” came another unindentified voice. Weigee glared off in the general direction of the comment… “No wait!” Twyla said

“It might work! Chicken and turkey have Tryptophan! And dogs, I mean, way2, loves turkey, we could put her to sleep!”

Off Weigee, MissLilly, Drucilla, KaylaAndy, nursebetty and AlostSoul went to cook 10 or so turkeys. “Oh I hope that will be enough” said dru.

The choir’s song rose and fell and sweet sounds laid pleasantly in the air, punctuated by growling, snarling, plaintive pleas to be let go, and threats of annihilation if one did not let go. DrCu knelt in and began to talk to way2 with affirmations, hoping beyond hope that if he just raised her self esteem enough all this would end.

Myad arrived on the scene.

“Keep him away, he shouldn’t see this!” Nikko warned

It was true. Way2’s beauty had disappeared, she now had canines and a muzzle, and big brown eyes, pointed ears and a fluffy tail

Myad thanked her for her concern “I’ve been married to her for 15 years, I’ve seen this before.”

“How long before psycho b#tch takes over her completely?” togetheralone inquired

Myad looked at his watch and the moon. Give it another ½ hour and the 28 days cycle will be complete. Don’t fret her transformation shouldn’t last for more than 3 days.”

Just then way2 broke free from 2oaks and chorus. Her apparent calmness had been a feint.

“Way2, Way2! Over Here!” called Stunned_Dad, trying to distract her from her oblivious prey, Myad. “Look what I have!” and he held up a wooden cross.

“Wrong creature!” way2 snarled

Stunned looked stunned and then realizing his was standing out in the open with no means of protection came upon a bright idea. “Way2” he whistled and tossed the wooden cross “Go get it girl, go get it!”

Way2 wagged her tail. The only human features still left to her were that she could talk and stand upright. Obediently she ran out to retrieve the cross.

“Wheww saved again!” Stunned wiped the sweat from his brow.

While way2 was retrieving the cross, silverthorn handed Myad a squeaky toy. “I thought it might help!”

Little did anyone know that all the time they were actively engaging way2 others were using the time to create back up plans. As she came bounding in the MB atheists, humanist, and agnostics put their plans into effect and threw a net over way2. Way2 screamed in frustration … “This won’t hold me!” she vowed her razor sharp claws working on the rope.

Myad walked toward the scene as if participating in a duel at high noon. He stood tall with the squeaky toy hand held at his side, as if he were covering a gun in the holster.

Ever helpful, TMCM began to whistle the theme from “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly” and this was about as ugly as they come. Soon lor, suz(et), adrift, topie, jso, brighterdays, cali, chickadee and others joined in.

Way2 caught sight of Myad “You remember how you spilled grape juice on my nice white pants back in the summer of 1994 .. you’ve NEVER replaced them! And then when we tried to go to New York City and I told you the car wouldn’t make it that far without the alternator being fixed, did you listen to me .. Noooooooo….”

Myad’s hand twitched, and the squeaky toy .. well, it squeaked

Way2 stopped in mid rant and cocked her head, trying to determine what Myad held in his hand.

Shrewd as ever, he squeaked it again. And continued walking toward her.

Archuletan and Justus who had been brought in for crowd control now stood with mouths agape. Not moving and almost not breathing, waiting, along with the rest of the crowd, to see what would happen next.

The MB crowd grew quiet, even Pyscho Bee (aka way2) stopped snarling and looked dead eyed at Myad. “What was he planning” she thought to herself?

Quick as a flash Myad reached the net in which is wife was entangled and gave her the squeaky toy with one had , and drawing out a collar and muzzle with the other.

MTD, Pepperband, New Jersey, DG and others rushed in to put them on the werewolf.

“I found it!” cried Twyla as she rushed over with a syringe and tranquilized way2. And she was finally under control

Chorus rushed to Myad, pen and reporters notebook in hand “So how often does she get this way?

“Every 28 days.”

“How long does it last?”

“Three days, those turkeys will help once she comes around. The secret is to keep her heavily tranqed during this time! She’ll return to normal in a few days”

And then Myad pumped chorus’ hand as he shook it “Thank you I couldn’t have done it without your help” and after a parade of “thanks yous” and well wishers, his hand was swollen and sore. But he was grateful.

Watching this whole episode made Iceprincess dedicate herself to finding a cure for werewolfism.

Way2 slept quietly for the next few days.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
ROFLOL!!!!!

Way2, you are WAY WAY WAY 2 MUCH!!!!

MTD

Ha!!! Way2, I'll howl at the moon with you any day. What a beyooootiful rendition of the 28-day insanity cycle!

Thanks, I needed that laugh!

A friend once told me that humor is the secular form of grace.

Funny, but WAH complained a few times that I'd lost mine and now that he's left, he's the one with the sour face all the time. So here's to being able to smile again - even amidst our tears!

lol!

I'm glas you all like it ... and I would like to hear more comments from those in the story and those who maybe in the next installments

What???

People in Recovery have asked if this will be a feature every 28 days (I posted this here, in Recovery, MB Ladies board .. and of course the MB writers board -- figured that a lot of people needed a good laugh).

so what do you think ... should I try and make this a every 28 day serial?

Very funny, thanks I needed a laugh. Was feeling a "little" blue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> LOL


Yes I enjoyed my part. I always knew a squeaky toy would come in handy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Of course with Poe it would have been something flashy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />


Poe and I found fuzzy pairs of squeaky socks at JCPenny's.

Yes make it a regular. Looking forward to the next installment.

It has come to my attention that some people don't know that b#tch is not always a profane word <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Here is the definition from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Main Entry: 1b#tch
Pronunciation: 'bich
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English bicche, from Old English bicce
Date: before 12th century
1 : the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals
2 a : a lewd or immoral woman b : a malicious, spiteful, or domineering woman -- sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse
3 : something that is highly objectionable or unpleasant
4 : COMPLAINT </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The term is used quite frequently by the American Kennel Club. Here is an article on their site about Leasing a B#tch

Now in my story way2 turns into a female dog .. hence Sufdb's comment.

LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Happy Halloween everyone!

way2

I can see where it fits in this context. I have a problem with the word in my own home. Over years of doing pet rescue and belonging to a breed club, I got too comfortable using the word. I have a terrible time remembering to censor myself around my DS. Because even if he uses it in context, people will be shocked.

Dobie --

True .. but along with being a writer/author I am also an educator, and it saddens me greatly to see our language narrowed so.

Granted we don't have 28 different words for love (the types) .. but our American English does have a richness all it's own that IMHO we are slowly loosing.

way2

Bravo!! You get a standing ovation. Fabulously done!!

I too take umbrage with the narrowing of the language thanks for taking a stand. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

And of course, as one of the MB Pagans I have to make my standard request to please use the term B*tch when meaning 2 a : a lewd or immoral woman b : a malicious, spiteful, or domineering woman -- sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse as opposed to Witch which is a practioner of peace loving religion. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Happy Hallowe'en!!

Not only was that a GREAT story...it was so ironic because I just got done telling someone about how I'm all about peace, love and harmony...except for 3 days out of the month. Glad to know I'm not the only hound!!! HOOOOOWWWWLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
