Wolf gift

Blair brought her head forward, aiming for his neck, she slammed her jaws shut as fast and hard as she could, hoping to kill him instantly, the snap cracked like a gunshot through the woods and echoed once.
She lifted her head, but felt nothing in her front teeth, did she miss? She opened her eyes and saw a shadow in her fangs, purple the shape of a wolf, or no! A werewolf shape!
Jeremy grunted and went to his knees, he's still alive!? Then!? What is this she has in her fangs!?
'You discovered something I haven't taught you yet...' Maikah said and giggled.
"What!?"
'If it is regarding a wolf, and the same as you, the wolf being part of the human, you have the ability to rip the wolf gift from the human'
"Wolf gift?"
'Yes, you gave the gift to Wolfe, you can give the gift to more humans if you want, then you alone can rip it from them through this bite'
Blair looked at the shadow in her mouth, it was a werewolf, roaring and snarling, but it has no physical feel, and though it's thrashing, it's not making any noise.
"What do I do with it!?"
"Swallow it, this will make the shadow go back to the astral plains, and lock it there"
Blair threw it into her mouth and swallowed, it felt like swallowing air making her bring up a pocket and give a quick belch which sounded odd considering her size.
"Oh! That was a surprise!" She said and looked down at Jeremy, he sat there dumfounded.
"Did? Did you just belch?"
Her ears sagged "Excuse me"
He gave a quick chuckle but still sat on his knees, he wasn't sure himself... "Did? Did you just? What just happened!?"
"I removed the wolf from you" She said and shifted back into her human form, somehow that entity she consumed made her feel stronger, she felt new strength and power in her.
"You removed the wolf?" He asked standing up.
"Yes, I didn't know I could do it until now, I'm sorry if I made it seem like a sick joke, but I'm still learning things about what I can do on a daily bases" She said shrugging.
Jeremy looked at his hands, then felt his chest, then his neck "I, I feel normal, I don't crave raw meat anymore! I'm still alive!" He looked at Blair, then his face tensed up "f**k me did you hear how loud your jaws snapped shut! f**k it sounded like a gunshot!"
Her head sagged "I'm sorry, if it needed to be a killing blow I wanted to make it painless so I bit down as hard as I could"
Jeremy suddenly embraced her and picked her up swinging her around "You cured me! I never thought this day would come! I'm free of my nightmare!"
Blair giggled as he swung her and placed her down "Thank you" He said "Thank you little Cherokee girl! I will keep you a secret until the day I die! I swear!"
She smiled warmly "I am not of the Cherokee, The Aniwaya clan also is no more, I'm going to start my own clan"
He smiled back "Ok? So I'm witnessing history in the making? What will your clan name be?"
"Blackmoon, because I do not need the moon to become a wolf, as you did"
He chuckled "Then I will carry your clan name, and let my stories have it in"
They heard a rustle of leaves behind the hill and saw Wolfe come over.
"Wolfy! Come here you little runt!"
Wolfe came up to them dumbfound "The whole town is in uproar, they found the cage broken, and presumes the wolf escaped"
Jeremy chuckled "Well no s**t hey? If the cage is broken, then the wolf obviously f*****g escaped!"
"You seem rather happy!? Considering the final decision you made?"
"Well! Young man! Your girlfriend just cured me!"
"She's not! Wait!? Cured you?" He asked and looked at Blair.
She smiled shyly "I didn't know I could"
Wolfe looked at Jeremy, then his eyes teared up "Dang gully I thought I was going to lose you man!"
"Oh for Pete's sake Wolfy don't ball like that man! Not in front of the girl!"
"I don't give a damn man you're my best friend!"
Jeremy grabbed his head and drew him into his chest "And you're mine buddy"
Blair blushed seeing how deep their friendship goes.
"You ok?" Jeremy asked seeing her flushed face.
"I am, one day, I would like to have that kind of friendship" She said smiling at them.
"You never had a friend?" Wolfe asked.
"No"
"But? You're fifteen!? You should have at least had one by now!?"
She slowly shook her head.
"Well then, you have two friends now Blair" Jeremy said bringing her smile back.
"Thank you"
The larger boy puffed his chest up "Ok you two, the sun is gone but the moon isn't here yet, I suggest the two of you high tail it out of here, before that Boone bastard comes lookin for ye"
Blair made an obvious tilt with her head "This ye ye ye stuff you say!? What does it mean? And what does bastards mean?"
The two boys broke out with laughter "Ye is short for you, and bastards... Well..." Wolfe looked at Jeremy, who shrugged.
"Scallywag, asshole, geez it's kind of an insult you can use on your friends as well, like Wolfe for instance, I'll call him a little bastard but he won't take it seriously because he knows I don't really mean it"
Blair touched her lips with a finger "An insult that can be freely used?"
"Sort of, now go you two, I'll head back to town to check what's going on, and make sure no one catches your trail"
The two nodded "Sure you don't want to see my werewolf form up close Jerry?"
"Hell no! Even if you say you have control, go Wolfy, and be careful" Jeremy shoved him a little.
"Ok then, see ya around Jerry"
The two parted with him, he stood watching them until they disappeared in the woods, then he happily turned back to the town, Jeremy felt a deep relief in him, he could finally go on with his life, normally.
He was just out of the holler when he heard a whispering voice which made him stop and listen.
'You...'
"Hello?" He asked turning back, Jeremy saw no one, Blair and Wolfe long gone.
'Take... Your... Knife...'
"What the!?" He flung to the whisper now clear behind him, but all he was met with are two glowing red eyes, they had him frozen, he couldn't even make out to what a creature they belonged to.
'Kill... Her...'
"Wh... No!" He shook and looked again, the figure was gone, he scanned vigorously.
'Kill... The... Apache... Girl...'
"No...!" He felt himself get lifted, he saw his own body, as if being in a dream seeing himself, but he turned and drew the knife.
"No!"
It was no use... He screamed and ran, holding the knife high, heading in the direction Wolfe went with Blair.
