Night Howl Page #3

crept up behind her

and starting attacking

her and like mauling her.

It was horrible.

I can't get the

image out of my head.

And yeah, it just drug her off

and there was no body found,

no anything, and the whole

town just chalked it off

to being a bear attack and

everybody just moved on.

That's horrible.

Right?

I was just the boy

that cried wolf.

Well, I believe you.

- Really?

- Yeah, I mean, people are so

quick to judge kids

and call them liars.

I don't think a child could

make up a story like that.

Yeah, I wish

everybody felt that way.

I see people all the

time I knew as a kid,

and when they see me, I

immediately know what they're

thinking and I just wish

they could forget about it.

[Ema] Where have you been?

Oh I had to go take a call.

[Kaci] Oh, I see.

Sh*t you guys, it's

gettin' pretty late.

I better head to the house,

I have to get up early

for work tomorrow.

[Ema] Yeah, I should

probably get going, too.

All right, if you guys

are free this weekend

it'd be cool to like

hangout or something.

- Sounds good to me.

- Ditto.

- All right, bro.

- See ya.

Awesome.

Bye, Kaci.

See ya.

(car engine rumbling)

(crickets chirping)

(growling)

(light dramatic music)

(crashing)

(dog barking)

Oh, sh*t.

Bo, get your ass home.

Go on.

Scared the sh*t outta me.

Bad dog.

(crashing)

God damn it, Bo.

(growling)

(dramatic music)

(groaning)

Oh, sh*t.

(roaring)

(claws clanking)

(dog sniffing)

(dramatic music)

(gasps)

(coughing)

(gagging)

(groaning)

(growling)

(roaring)

(coughing)

(phone ringing)

Dr. Ezay's office, Dr. Ezay.

Yeah, is everything okay?

Well how soon can

you make it here?

Yeah, yeah okay, that's fine,

but I need you to hurry.

I have another appointment

in about an hour.

All right, see ya.

(dramatic music)

- Kaci.

- Jesus Christ.

You look like hell.

Yeah, I was up all

night last night vomiting.

Did you go get checked out?

No, I don't really feel sick.

I just feel really anxious

and kind of stressed.

Well, tell me about this

dream you had last night.

The more and

more I think of it,

I don't know if it was a dream

or if it was in real life.

So what happened?

All right, so I was looking

at myself in the mirror

and I seen this like crazy

distorted version of myself.

As crazy, as crazy as it

seems, I started to feel like

these sharp pains all

throughout my body

and I turned into the creature.

And then what happened?

And then I just

started vomiting blood.

Wait, were you vomiting

blood within your dream

or you were vomiting

blood in reality?

[Kaci] After I woke up.

Are you taking your meds?

Kaci?

I didn't take one yesterday.

Well, you really

need to take your meds,

and we're probably gonna

have to up your dosage.

I really don't think that

the medicine is the problem.

What if what I'm dreaming

about happens in real life?

Well, it can't and it won't.

What I suggest is you

go home, take your meds,

grab a big lunch, and just

relax for the rest of the day.

That's really what you

need to do right now.

Whatever.

Kaci.

What?

I don't need to

remind you what happens

if you go off your meds, right?

Kaci?

(sighs)

That little sh*t.

Um, he left in a hurry.

Is everything okay?

Great, everything's

great, just perfect.

Can you do me a favor?

Of course.

If Kaci Evans ever comes

here for another appointment

or calls here, you recommend

him to somebody else,

'cause I'm not workin'

with him anymore.

Seriously?

Yes, do it, now.

Okay.

Devin, can you

please answer, man?

Please, I need somebody right,

I need somebody right now.

(sniffling)

I went off on my therapist

man, I just, I f***in' snapped.

I threatened to blackmail him.

I just need you right now.

I need somebody, please.

I tried to call you

like three times, dude.

Call me back.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

[Ema On Phone] Where are you?

I'm at the river

front, what's up?

[Ema On Phone] Oh,

I just got off work.

Do you wanna hang out?

Yeah, I'll be there in a few.

[Ema On Phone]

Awesome, see you then.

(water splashing)

It was like I blacked out.

Like I remember

everything I said,

but I didn't know

how to control it,

if that makes any sense.

Yeah, I get it.

If you don't mind my asking,

what happens if you don't

take your medication?

Nothing too bad.

I mean, the nightmares get worse

but I feel like it's my

job to kinda control that.

Last time I stopped

taking my medicine

I kinda had this breakdown,

it was just a mess.

So, what happens now?

Well, I'm pretty

sure I'm not allowed

to see that doctor anymore.

Probably not and

it's for the best.

You know, if you ever

need to talk, I'm here

and I'll give you the best

advice I can for free.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Here, want some.

- Yeah, sure.

- Come on.

All right.

I bet I'm a better

thrower than you.

Ready, ready?

I am clearly a better

thrower than you.

- Right, that was horrible.

- Oh, come on.

I'm pretty sure

that's a dead fish.

Oh!

So it kinda gets to the

point where you're like

well who are we kidding, is

this even a friendship anymore?

Long story short, I just,

I wasn't good enough.

Right.

- Yeah.

- No, I understand.

Devin makes me feel

that way all the time.

Seriously?

He seemed pretty

cool last night.

I guess.

Actually, have you

heard from him today?

No, why?

I've just been trying

to get ahold of him

and he hasn't been

answering my phone calls.

Hm, well, you know

where he lives, right?

Yeah.

Well why don't we just

pop by for a little visit?

You driving?

Oh, clearly.

(laughing)

Come on, let's go.

Oh, must be nice to have a

place like this all to yourself.

Right?

His car's here so

he has to be home.

[Ema] Cool.

(knocking)

Devin, open up.

[Ema] Hm, let's try this.

[Kaci] You really

have a problem

with locked doors, don't you?

- Guilty.

- I can tell.

(phone ringing)

Sh*t.

Yeah?

You're joking.

No, no, I'll be there

in sec, partner.

All right.

- We gotta go.

- Kaci, Kaci, what's going on?

(dramatic music)

Yeah, that's, that's Devin.

Okay.

Sorry for your loss, bud.

I just need you to sign a few

things before you head out.

Are you a family member of his?

He doesn't have

any close relatives.

He always put me down

on emergency contacts,

that's why I'm here.

(dramatic music)

Hey, buddy.

Fancy seeing you here, huh?

Can you cover him up?

Sure, sorry about that.

Was it him?

Yeah.

What happened?

They said his neighbors

dog mauled and attacked him.

Jesus Christ.

You'd think that I'm crazy,

but I don't think

that dog did that.

I think it was

something big, I...

Like what?

What if the thing that

attacked my mom, attacked him?

Kaci, Kaci, that's

impossible you...

How?

That was a really long

time ago and the police said

that they found the

dog eating on him.

I just don't believe it.

Come on, we'll get you

home, we'll get you some rest.

I don't think I can.

Yes, you can.
