Werewolf #1 ended with a lot of crazy spirit shit happening to us in Mulholland. Which I have, in fact, skipped entirely over, because I don't feel like detailing it all.
Todd killed his father during his First Change, which was instigated by his father's revenge for the Bat Tactic. (The revenge: slamming a bag of pennies into his son's crotch while asleep, hard enough to roll it over into lethal damage.)
Jude, who woke up one night with a knife in his hand in his parents' bedroom, finally admitted that he'd been having insane dreams about killing his father. They checked him in to the local psych ward, where he was put on muscle relaxants. Apparently muscle relaxants also dope you the shit up, because he didn't initially remember his Change - just waking up in a completely trashed psych ward room.
Dexter had been seeing a crazy old man around the school late at night. One night, he decides to follow him. When the man got where he was going, space seemed to shift - and the old man was joined by a younger man... who introduced himself as Stan Durnham, and another werewolf. After the 'space shift', Dexter was ordered to go home. En route, he was attacked by a wolf. After the hospital, he encountered the wolf again, this time in his backyard. He decides to follow it into the forest where it attacks him again. He lost it and tore the forest a new asshole (read: clearing). (Thank you Jason!)
Mackenzie had the calmest of the changes: while wandering around in suburban Mulholland, she slowly began to change and shift. She explored the area, basking in the coolness of her new self, and then returned home, clothes in tatters.
Fast forward to the first day of school...
