Chapter 5

Fen

Fen watched as Oden tried to console his friend. As they walked passed him Connor looked back saw him and walked over. Oden followed with a strange expression on his face. Fen eyed them warily before looking at the ground. Connor stopped few paces from him. Fen could feel his eyes boring into his skull. Oden stood beside him. Then without warning Connor shoved him onto the wall. Oden looked horrified but did nothing to stop him. After four of five minutes of being slammed into the wall Connor stopped. Fen slid to the concrete gasping for air while Connor looked at him. After a few seconds Fen pulled himself into a sitting position and looked at connor warily. Connor sighed and sat next to him pulling his knees to his chest. Oden did the same. Several minutes passed before fen finally spoke.

“Why did you call me out here?” Oden looked scared. Connor didn't say anything for a few moments. Then out of the blue Connor hugged him.

“You want to know Hmmm? Well i'll tell you. The answer is simple Because you are special.” Then Connor gently Kissed him on the neck. Fen blushed and buried his face into Connors Jacket. Oden turned but as he did Fen saw a tear fall and land in the pavement making it darker. He held onto Connor and cried for the first time in many years. Connor held him. After a while Connor let go and fen went back to his original position. After a few moments Oden spoke.

“Well aren't you going to show him?” Connor nodded and stood up offering Fen his hand which he gladly accepted.

“Well let me get to the point you are the Wendigo.” Fen’s mouth dropped. Oden’s mouth dropped and he slowly backed away. Connor watched him leave. Fen looked at the ground trying not to meet Connors gase. Connor gently took Fens hand and said.

“You expected this didn't you. Now can you try to turn into it just try. Fen looked at Connor and said

“I’ve done this before. I've turned into it and...” his voice broke. Connor looked at him spectaly. And sighed. Two hours later Fen agreed to turn in to the dreaded Wendigo that he was destined to become. Fen thought of the deer with the skull head. He thought about the things it caused all the pain and suffering and the more he thought about it the more appealing it became. When he opened his eyes again he was towering over Connor. He looked down at his feet. Well you wouldn't really call them feet they were hooved skeleton hooves with chunks of flesh on them. Connor carefully approached him and patted his flank. Fen watched warily. As Connor approached his face Fen reared and his front hoof caught Connor on the side of the head. Connor crumpled to the ground clutching the side of his head. That brought a flashback:

Fen was standing in a Circus people were watching blurr a kid came up to him Blurr a scream as the kid fell to the floor blurr the kid screaming as blood poured on his face blur the mom coming over blurr getting locked up by police.

Fen opened his eyes. Connor wasn't moving.
