Compatible Monsters - 7

"Of course, my darling. I apologize.
I won't use you like that anymore,
But I'd point out some things, if you don't mind.
For one, I asked you not to take his life;
A hostage would have come in handy, no?
Yet this one thing, you flatly disobeyed.
Not as though I cared about his life -- 
Most certainly, the man deserved to die --
But he's no longer useful to us now,
In fact, you've put a wrinkle in the plan.
They'll wonder where he is and come looking,  
And when they find him, all hell will break loose. 

Don't misunderstand me, little one:
I expected quite the massacre,
But you exceeded my expectations;
It seems the changes come on rapidly.
You feel it coming, don't you -- the fury?
The overwhelming need to hunt, and kill. 
Your senses sharpening, much like your teeth,
Transformed by forces ancient and primal,
A cocktail of instinct and pure fury,
Reborn, howling under the Blood Moon;
Ravenous for meat -- the flesh of men --
A rather horrid mess, the whole affair. 

Some call your kind 'werewolves', but that's not true.
The creature you become can be varied, 
Though only carnivores -- that much is known,
And only women suffer from the curse. 
The details of it aren't relevant, 
And something I don't care to talk about. 
All that matters now is our escape;
We need to get ourselves out of here,
Unless you'd rather be strapped to the bunk,
And drugged into a chemical coma?
I didn't think so. There's no time to waste.

Close and lock the door, with him inside;
Now follow me -- I know a place to hide."
