Chapter 3 - full moon frights

Atem and Tea found a village, but there was only one person there . . . There was a hut, like a bungalow . . .
CRASH!
Atem! Yemi yelped. Youre alive!
Oh, no, Atem groaned.
Yemi grabbed him and ruffled his hair madly.
Please! Youre . . . choking me! he said stiffly.
1pm
Atem! You had better not be eating everything! Yemi called.
Im not! he lied, shoveling food into his mouth.
Pharaoh, if youre eating- Tea cut off.
Atem smiled innocently.
YEMI!!! Tea exclaimed.
ATEM! DROP IT!
Atem squeaked and scrambled into one of the bedrooms.
Wow, you werent kidding when you said if he goes a few days without much food, he eats everything, Tea muttered, watching her boyfriend shove food into his mouth.
How does he stay so thin?
Well, he doesnt normally make like Joey, thats for sure, Yemi smiled.
11pm
Pharaoh! Tea exclaimed. YEEK! ITS COMING CLOSER!!
What is it? Atem groaned, wandering into the room.
SPIDER!!! Tea boomed, BIG ONE! HUGE! YEEE! ITS LOOKING AT ME!!!!
Where is it? Atem muttered.
BY YOUR FOOT!
He looked down and raised an eyebrow. There was a bug by his foot. Is that it? he said blankly.
KILL IT!!!
He rolled his eyes and picked it up. Its not even a spider, its a crane fly . . . he mumbled.
I DONT CARE WHAT IT IS! KILL IT!!!
I had bigger things than this crawling about in my tomb, Atem sat down on Teas bed.
What are you doing? Tea asked. She looked over his shoulder.
He was playing with the insect, letting it crawl over his fingers.
Get rid of it! Tea ordered.
Atem sighed and walked out of the shelter. He let the crane fly go and went back inside. He paused and span round. His jaw dropped.

Full moon.

He gaped; his entire body shook and trembled. He choked and stumbled backwards.
Atem! No! Yemi cried, leaping to her feet.
She hurried over and restrained him. She grasped him tightly.
He threw her off and fell to his knees. Pain surged down his spine. He fell onto his hands and knees. He choked again and thick saliva drizzled from his lips.
Atem screamed with pain as his frame changed shape. Claws and paw-like hands and feet formed, wiry fur spread all over his body, his face and teeth lengthened and his eyes turned into a red glare.
His clothes tore off and the werewolf rose to his feet.
The beast growled at the two women.
Yemi yelled some Ancient Egyptian spells and he leapt outside.
He howled then ran away.
10am
Tea, he needs to rest, Yemi advised.
Aw, come on! This whistle doesnt even make a sound! Tea smiled.
She blew the whistle.
Zen yowled madly.
Argh! Atem clamped his hands over his ears and screwed his face up.
Tea stopped blowing and they relaxed. Wow . . .
I told you! Yemi growled, That whistle is for calling wolves and dogs. Its so high pitched that humans cant hear it. Werewolves are especially sensitive to it because they have very sensitive hearing,
Oh, Tea nodded. Sorry,
The Pharaoh was lying in bed with sheets over him. His hands were still clamped over his ears.
Sorry Pharaoh! Tea called as she headed back to the main room.
