The bus came to a stop at the gates of the park. Natasha climbed out with her backpack and headed in, she made sure no one was watching her, then ran off into the bush. Around every brush and rock Natasha worried she might run into a lion and her heart pounded. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, fear gripped her in a primal way, not a supernatural one, this fear was different from that she felt when seeing a werewolf for the first time. It was real here, Natasha"s favourite type of horror film was one that had that element of reality "based on a true story" type of thing. Lions, crocs, sharks, it had her on the edge of her seat because those things existed. Now she ran deeper into the bush, wondering if she got attacked by lions, if a film would be made of her aswell.***
"Aletta make a scan of the Kruger and find a rocky area, we cant risk us digging ourselves out" Frits said as they came flying through a gate, those manning it only gave way screaming.
"Affirmative, scanning... Head south through the bush" The computer replied and Piet climbed off road. They headed on for a while then the bush opened up to a flat rock imbedded area.
"Here"s good" Frits said standing up, it was getting dark and the men rushed to get ready, the three laid down in front of a tire so it could just move forward on top of them.
"I know this is for the good of the people Captain. But the weight of the Ratel is great, it will crush you" Aletta said.
"Wait for us to shift first, then climb on"
"Are you sure sir?"
"Yes Aletta, then if we manage to escape..." Frits looked at Koos.
"I, well make sure we dont run off to kill people" He replied.
"Affirmative, i will keep you occupied by running you over" She said making them laugh.
As the moon rose, and the fever settled in, the Ratel climbed on them, it was furiously painfull, but they soon couldn"t feel it, as the mindlessness took over.
The next morning they woke up, human again, but the Ratel wasn"t on them, with severe headaches they stood up.
"It worked, it actually fokkin worked" Koos mumbled.
"Yoh, did we drink too much last night?" Piet asked holding his head.
"No Piet, we didn"t even touch the brandy"
"Morning DPK" Aletta said, they heard her voice was slightly less robot like, and it sounded more like a woman talking over a radio.
"You sound diffrent"
"As the night went by i have finetuned my voice output, and learned things i thought would be needed in the future"
Koos rubbed his face "Learned hey?"
"Yes sir, there"s brandy inside, and i suggest food otherwise the three of you will die, i detect severe malnutrition in your bodies, its like you havent eaten in six days thanks to the werewolf"
The men got back into the ratel, somehow their pants survived, but was torn alot.
"Food first" Koos said.
"Affirmative, Piet, head sout for five hundred meters, there you will find a freshly killed Buffalo"
Piet drove as she said, and there it laid, so fresh infact there wasn"t even alot of flies.
"What killed this? Lions?" Koos asked looking around from the top hatch.
"Negative sir, another werewolf, the closest lion pride is eight kilometers away, you can start eating, they wont bother you"
Frits got the barbeque grill out the back compartment and set it up, Piet got wood, and Koos started cutting meat from the dead buffalo.
"The werewolf that attacked this thing, where is it?" Frits asked as he got the fire started.
"About a hundread meters in front of you Captain, hiding in a bush"
The three men looked, they saw nothing.
"Important info like that should be given earlier Aletta" Koos said.
"Yes sir, but its a girl, and she"s naked, there was no threat"
"Ooh" Koos said smiling.
"Excuse my rudeness General, but shes only eighteen, and too young for you" Aletta said making Piet and Frits burst with laughter.
"Fokof man! Hey!" Koos called "you there!?"
He got no answer.
"Is she a real wolf? Or a cursed one like us?" Koos asked.
"A cursed one"
"Good, Aletta take aim"
"Yes sir!"
The turrets of the Ratel swung into position, aiming into the bush, then the two hands came up.
"Wait! Ok! I heard you!" Natasha yelled she only brought her face and shoulders out of the thick bush and Piet wistled.
"h.e.l.lo pretty"
"f.u.c.koff!" She yelled red of embarra.s.sment.
"You have clothes somewhere sweety?" Koos asked, she looked around but wasn"t sure where she was.
"I, i have a backpack full of clothes, but i dont know where it is"
"Frits, go get her one of my shirts" Koos said.
"Why yours? Youre the fokkin biggest?"
"She won"t fit in any of our pants, so i recon she can use my shirt as a dress"
"Ooh, makes sense" Frits hopped in and bought the shirt to her.
"Thats close enough! Throw it" she said.

Dragging the shirt into the bush Natasha got dressed and came out, the shirt was covering all the way to just above her knees, but she still held it down.
"Whats your name?" Koos asked as she approached.
"Natasha Webber"
"Im Koos, this is Frits, and thats Piet, what are you doing here?"
"I was told to come here and hide my werewolf form, he said i won"t hurt anyone here"
"Who said?"
"I don"t know, but he was this huge sabertooth cat"
"Quintin"
"You know him?" She looked at the meat Koos threw on the grill.
"Yes, he"s kind of a partner" Koos said seeing her basically eat the meat with her eyes "you can have some sussa, its your kill after all"
"My kill?"
"Yes, you killed this buffalo"
She shrilled "Im such a savage"
The men laughed "Well atleast we get to eat" Koos said. As the meat was ready he handed it out, then ate himself, Natasha looked at the Ratel, somewhere she remembered it, then her eyes widened.
"This tank! It attacked us that first night i became a werewolf!" She said and the men frowned.
"Its not a tank, its an infantry fighting vehicle called a Ratel" Piet said first.
"When did we attack you?" Koos asked.
"At that mansion" She said and the men drew handguns on her.
"Oh, you were one of Seth"s accomplices?" Koos aksed, she lifted her hands into the air.
"Please! I had no control over myself! I only vaguely remember!" She begged.
"How do we know you didn"t come after us to finish us off?"
"Please! I didn"t! I came here because i was told i won"t harm anyone"
The men holstered slowly "Ok, but try anything and its tickets for you" Koos said.
"I wont" she said lowering her hands "what are you three doing all the way here anyway?"
"Same as you, we came to keep ourselves out of harms way"
"So you"re bitten as well?"
"Yes, but trust me sussa, were going to find a cure for our little problem, then find Seth and blow him to pieces"
"There is no cure for a werewolf right?" She said, Quintin"s words didn"t give her much comfort that time.
"I have made multiple scans and found two possible ways to sort out the situation" Aletta said making Natasha look around.
"Who was that?"
"Its our Ratel" Frits said.
"The tank can speak?"
"Its not a fokkin tank!" Piet said.
"Sush Piet! Aletta, explain?" Koos said.
"The first method is Cleopatra, but since she"s the enemy its not really an option. The second more plausible option is the chip in the back of Guinevere"s head"
"Chip? What chip?" Frits asked
"It was designed by docktor Ezbar to hold back the cat side of Guinevere. Thanks to the chip she had more control over the cat, and, Ezbar and Quintin could call out the cat then command it like a weapon"
"And you say its implanted in her head?"
"Yes, although its broken now, it could be retrieved and copied to make three new ones"
"And it will work for us?"
"Yes, it is designed to focus on the alternative dna in one"s body, so it will hold the wolf back"
The three men cheered, Koos slapped Frits on his back "Fok Frits! Only a bliksem like you can design a computer smarter than yourself!"
"Im telling you! I didn"t even know she"d be this usefull"
"There"s only one problem" Aletta said stalling their celebration "Guinevere is off radar, i can"t find her"
"Fok! When was she last seen?" Koos asked.
"On the CCTV cameras of Maxwell"s mansion"
"The big cat said he"s going to take Guinevere, and attempt to change her ways" Natasha said.
"Ok, in that case we go to Ezbar first" Koos said pouring water on the fire. The three men quickly packed away the needed then jumped into the Ratel.
"What about me?" Natasha asked.
"Sorry sussa, youre going to have to stay here, we can"t have you with us" Koos said climbing into the top hatch.
"Please don"t leave me here! If you have a way of solving this wolf problem, i want in"
"Natasha, we are a marked unit, a bounty of a million a head on our backsides, you"ll be in more danger with us than here in the Kruger"
"I can"t do it! I cant be alone here! I"ll lose my mind! Please take me with you! Ill do any thing, even become a soldier if that is required of me!"
"Sussa! How many times must i say no!"
"I... I lost everything! Even if im cured of this my family is dead, i dont have a home to go to, please, donyt you abandon me aswell, youre my only hope at this point"
Koos rubbed his face.
"Fok im not your pa hey!"
"Lets take her with Koos, she reminds me of Quintin, poor fokker had no way out, atleast we can give her a new life" Frits said.
"What life Frits? A life of ricochets and smoking barrels?"
"Atleast she"s not alone, just like we have each other"
Koos grunted heavily.
"Fok! Fine! But then youre in charge of her Fritsie!"
"Me!? Youre the general!"
"You were also nicely begging me to reconsider, so she"s your responsibility now, you train her, you give her s.p.a.ce to sleep, you even fokkin bathe her if need be, but i don"t want her to become dead weight, got it!?"
Frits sighed "Fine! Fok!"
"Ok sussa, you heard our deal?" Koos said.
"Yes?" She replied.
"You agree?"
"Yes"
"Thats yes sir from now on roof!"
"Yes sir!"
"Get in!"
