[Reference: siblings 1]

 

A group of five high school friends –age 16 to 17— have been preparing for prom for the last three weeks. They all have their dates, suits, cars and very exciting and romantic plans. This is the night. They have been together since elementary school. The bond is long and strong. They’re like brothers.

Everything is set for this big evening, and apparently their respective dates are totally willing also, or close to be. One of them is half-sister to one of the five friends. They don’t live together, they live with their respective moms and their stepfathers, but they have a healthy relationship and the group actually gets along well having half-siblings among them.

They all drive amazing vehicles this night; some rented, some borrowed. They pick their girls up; one dressed lovelier than the other. The sky is beautiful. The event at the school hall had the most amazing music and atmosphere. The usual bullies and pranksters seemed to have taken the night off. There was some fooling around and show-offs but completely controllable. The liquor in the drinks was moderate. The selection of the prom king and queen was fair. The dancing was awesome with some good highlights, surprises and hidden moves on the dance floor.

Now the crowd was starting to mumble some chatter about where to go next. Two parties have been organized in opposite sides of town. The group of friends decide on one and arrive to this great house with a big backyard and pool, lots of lights and a terrace. The place is full, the music is nice and there’s a lot of booze, dancing, games, making out a sex going around.

The 5 friends have another toast to eternal friendship while the girls go to the bathroom to fix their makeup and chat. They meet at the huge living room and the couples each go their separate ways in the property: a free bedroom, a tent near the woods, and the back of the limo… any place deemed lovely and exciting enough.

Two hooded figures approach the house from the front and proceed menacingly into the front yard. Some of the drunk kids take notice, try to confront them and gang together. A thud, then a scream and a couple of kids are sent flying through the front wide windows of the house. Panic. More kids intend to face off the guys but they are also sent soaring and against walls, columns, expensive adornments and furniture. One of the five friends gets injured here.

Kids start to flee the house in packs. The strongest and toughest guys and girls of the school make a stand at the pool and pin down one of the guys, immobilizing him. Two of the five friends are here. They are about to hit him in the head with a marble figure of an elephant, when suddenly the arms and legs of the guy get thicker with bone protrusions, the hands grow claws and the mouth turns into a snout with sharp teeth. He looks like a wolf, but bigger and scarier. He’s now stronger than before. More panic, they cannot overpower him. Kids get scratched and bitten seriously. There is blood, everywhere. The other guy –that was actually a girl under the hood—, also shapeshifts and tears apart the upper floor, sending kids out the windows. This one looks like a brown bear, but stronger and uglier.

The bear-woman gets to the room where another of the five friends was with his girl. The door –and wall— gets totally destroyed. The kid (half naked) has a bat in his hand and swings at it, successfully hitting the bear-woman in the arm. Then again swings in reverse and hits the snout but to no avail. He is sent back to a closet with tremendous force by the enormous paw.

He’s has some broken ribs and he’s spitting blood. “Don’t come out,” he cries in agony to his girl. The bear-woman growls, and the wolf-man comes in almost immediately through one of the walls. Both beasts face the bleeding kid. “I love you” he says, totally unable to move.

The bear-woman prepares to pounce forward but the bed soars through the room and knocks her away, out of the room and down to the bottom floor of the house. The wolf-man turns his body to where the bed came from. He roars to the girl (half naked) who is standing sober and fearless, fists clenching. “You just ruined my first time, asshole.” She hurls herself towards the wolf-man and takes him through the only intact wall. They end up landing in the backyard, beside the pool. Everything is debris and electric sparkles around.

They both stand and the wolf-man is the first to attack, but she leaps up and kicks him in the head sending him backward and to the pool. The bear-woman tries to sneak behind the girl, but she dodges and counters with a strong combination, sending her to some nearby bushes. The girl gives a victory cry “Common!”

Her friends see her and can’t believe their eyes. She notices them and gives an apologetic glance. The bear-woman surprises her. She has to hold her from the snout to avoid being bitten. She barely manages to resist and being pushed back, but she’s finally knocked down by the bear-woman and her powerful paws. The wolf-man emerges from the pool and gets ready to attack also. He fiercely sprints forward.

Suddenly the wolf-man stops and his front legs drop making his head hit the floor. He tries to stand but again falls. He is dragged back and thrown flying to the pool by the tail… again. It was the half-brother (half naked) of the girl. “What took you so long, idiot?”

“This was supposed to be my first time, creeps!”

“Let’s finish this.”

“For once, we agree on something, sister.”

Both of them start shapeshifting. Their hands and feet grow thicker, their mouths shine with sharp long fangs, their backs get wider and stripes start to appear on their skin. They look like tigers, only fiercer and more imposing. The wolf-man climbs out of the pool, shakes the water off and fixes on to fight the tiger brother, while the tiger sister and the bear-woman prepare for one last round.

“Let’s roar, brother”.
