Chapter 376 - Take the kids

Once Jack had rested up for a bit, the training continued between him and Steve. It still took a while for Jack to have a grasp at things, but for once, he managed to do something.

The kids, including Steve, had frozen in place for it was something they hadn't seen before.

"Well, that's new?' Steve said, looking at Jack.

Standing in front of him was Jack, his snout was out large and wide, his fur still covered his entire body. The wagging of his tail swinging side to side could be felt from behind. When looking at his hands, one was large and clawed while the other... well the other hand was completely human.

"This was not the result I was expecting," Steve said, slapping his hand against his forehead.

Jack was trying to only turn only his hand into werewolf form, instead though he had managed to achieve the opposite result. Turning his whole body apart from his right hand. It was impressive in a way, how little and at the same time how much control it seemed like he had.

Without realising it, they had spent more time training than they usually would have.

"Alright, everyone. We shall end the training there for today." Steve said.

The kids dropped thier weapons on the ground and quickly ran off to play with each other. While the two teens were left to clean up after them.

"I guess they're still kids after all," Jack said.

Carefully, Jack continued to watch the kids in the cave, they were currently playing a game of tag with each other. It wasn't your ordinary game of tag. At least not for people around the ages of six and seven.

While playing, the kids would often transform both thier legs and arms into part werewolf. It gave them more agility and the ability to move faster all over the place.

'They have so much control over thier transformation. Am I just slow or have these kids been practising for a long time, Jack thought.

Watching them play remind him of the training the black knights would often do back at Avrion academy. The speed and skill were nearly at the same level, only the knights were a lot older than the kids.

After playing widely for a while, the kids seemed to grow a little tired and also grew bored. The game of tag was the only thing they really could play in the cave day in and day out.

While in the cave, Jack went around, deciding if there was anything he could do to help. He asked the teenagers, the older women and even the kids. Soon though, he realised that the kids had a frown on thier face as they set on thier beds looking at the floor.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked.

"We're bored!" one of the boys with spikey hair shouted.

"Don't say that." Rachel said as she hit the boy on the back of the head. "You know what Steve went through to get us here."

That's when Jack started to think. He didn't know how long the kids had been in the cave, but they had nothing to do, and no one to interact with. No wonder they were happy to see him when he had come in.

From behind, footsteps could be heard, and when Jack turned, he was surprised to see his body.

"I tell you what. Today is a special day." Steve said. "Why don't you guys all go out together with Jack and buy something nice for yourselves."

"Yay!" the kids shouted as they jumped off thier beds and cheered.

"Is that really okay?" Jack asked.

"Of course it is, I usually take them out once a week. It would be bad for them to stay cramped up in this place. There's no problem moving the schedule ahead, especially with some extra hands around here." Steve then looked around the room and pointed at the two teenagers.

"Zinc, Claire, you two go with him. I'm sure Jack doesn't know his way around, no what might cause trouble while walking around these parts."

"What about you?" Jack asked. "Will you be coming as well?"

Steve shook his head.

"No, I have some things to do today, it seems like thier selling another lot of our kind at the auction house. Last time I arrived too late. I will need to gather more information before planning my attack this time."

"I can help.." Jack was about to say, but Steve just shook his head.

"Looking after the kids is just as important, if not more important."

Before heading off, Zinc and Claire grabbed thier weapons and armour. They swung them a few times before checking all was ready. They then went over to a strange chest in one of the corners of the cave and pulled a few items out.

After handing the items over to each of the kids, they immediately put it on thier faces, and Jack could see what they were. They were masks.

"Here take this." Zinc said as he handed a mask over. "Our faces aren't that popular. Still, it's best if we keep them hidden. Luckily for us, it's pretty normal for people to hide thier faces in these type of areas."

"Thank you. "Jack said, but Zinc had already walked off.

It seemed like the teenager had a bit of an attitude but also wasn't a bad kid. If it was at the academy, perhaps Jack would have done something to try fix his attitude. However, he could tell just from looking at them, that all of these people had been through a lot. More then they should have gone through at that age.

The group was waiting for Jack just at the entrance of the cave. All of them were wearing some type of gear or had a weapon with them. The only one that looked a little different though was Rachel.

For she was wearing a skirt and had a bag over her back that went just below her waist.

"Hey, the little girl shouldn't carry the stuff", Jack said.

"No, that's not it you numpty," Claire replied. "The bag is to cover her tail. We have made a whole on the other side. This way she can freely hide her tail in the bag."

"Can she not put it away?" Jack asked.

"Rachels control of her power is the best out of everyone, but for some reason, her tail has always shown and hse has never been able to be put away. So we just have to be a little extra careful with her."

After Claire had finished explaining, Jack tilted his head out of the cave from above and realised they were quite high up from the city.

"How are we going to get down?" Jack asked. At that moment, the three kids hoped on to Jack's neck shoulders and arms and grabbing onto him.

"Uncle Steve always took us down." A boy said.

"Really, well if he can do it, then I can do it too." Jack's competitive nature was ignited as he was compared with his brother.

While they were descending down the side of the cliff, and Jack was starting to get a sweet on, his brother shouted from the cave.

"If anything happens, come back immediately and inform me. Don't try to be a hero." Steve said.
