Tie In "The Jewels Shall Light My Way Home"

RJ turned over one of his dresser. Where was it? In his hazy thoughts, he couldn't remember where he put it. Did he put it under the bed? He approached his bed…No…no…that isn't it. He ran his hand through his hair. He started to pace. His skin felt like it was crawling, itching, and burning. He wanted to rip the skin off his body. He started to pace along the room. His thoughts became disjointed.

What was he searching for again? He couldn't remember. His stomach rumbled. He could really use another sandwich or something more…fresher. No…no…these aren't his thoughts. He heard the wolf's groan in his head. He drew in a ragged breath. He needed to be calm and center. He won't let the wolf get control of him again.

He needed to find that number. He lifted under his bed to see nothing. He groaned as he looked under his potted bamboo plant.

Why would he put a phone number under a plant? He brought the plant up to his nose. It smelled so nice. It remembered him of the forest. He would love to go run through the woods without any resist. He could just imagine the breeze, the smells…the freedom.

NO! No!

He shook his head. Think of other things like…like…bills. Yes…water bill is due. Urgh…That is a negative thought he didn't want to think about. It helped calm down him slightly. He scratched his head as he started to pace. Where did he put it again?

His stomach let out loud growl.

Urgh…what he would do for a pizza right now?

His eyes light up. That was it! He raced over to his fallen dresser and opened the drawer. He pulled out one of his favorite books, 101 Ways to make An Excellent Pizza. He turned the book and shook it. A small piece of paper fell to the ground.

Yes!

Bingo! Quickly, he raced over to his phone. He started to dial the number. His heart was pounding in his chest.

Ring…

Hey…

"Hey, it's me!" He said.

"I'm not home right now. Urgh…I maybe home right now but I could be playing a videogame or…

Great…just great. He isn't home. Positive karma hasn't been in his favor today. His skin started to crawl again. No…he got to hold. Just a little while longer.

Or on the computer. Then I'm really really sorry for not paying attention. I get back to once I realize the light is blinking….

He watched as his hair started to grow. No…no…Focus, RJ….Focus…remember your training. His breathing speeded up as his vision became sharper. His hand tighten around the phone.

Of course, I could be out with my friends. Then I probably can't back to you until tomorrow for various reasons. Oh, of course, there is school. I could be at school. Then after that is work…really not work. It's fun work because I'm a knight.

Note to self….tell him to shorten his message. He grasped as sudden pain hit him. He dropped to his knee. He felt his body changing again. His hands changed into claws. He felt his face starting to change. The words on the answer machine became nothing but nonsense.

It's because I get to teach others how to be a knight. Isn't that the coolest? Uhhh…Oh, right! Leave your message after you know…the beep.

He heard the beep.

"Help…me…"

He dropped the phone and let out a howl.

Chip opened the door to his apartment and sighed happily once he stepped inside. It has been a long day. A test and a quiz at school then work at Rock Poruim because Xander was short a person. He was just happy to be home. He dropped his keys on the table before he headed toward the kitchen. He noticed the light was blinking on his answering machine. He pressed the button before heading to make a sandwich. He really didn't know why he had an answering machine. He saw his friends every day. But V pointed that they may needed to contract him. He said that when any of his friends needed something…they go and find him.

At that point, V dragged him to Target and got him an answering machine.

Then his friends started complain about his message. He just can't win sometimes.

Hey, Chip. This is V. Jeep broke down again. I need a ride to my gig at Red Lion's Club. If you aren't too busy, can you take me? Thanks.

He smiled slightly. As much as V complained about her jeep, she hasn't tried to get rid of it.

Help…me.

He twisted his head around as he heard the howling noise.

What in the world….RJ?

He blinked in confusion as he wandered over to the answering machine again. He hit the play back button.

Help…me.

Chills ran down his spine as he heard the howl. This didn't feel right. He picked up the phone and dialed RJ's number.

Ring…

Hello, this is RJ. I am currently in my happy place right now. I will get back to you as soon as it's time for me to descent back to this reality. So leave your message at the beep.

He paused for moment before he heard the beep noise.

"RJ…this is Chip. Uhh…I just…are you okay? I got your message and…you didn't sound right. Uhh….I will be over there soon." He said as he slammed the phone down.

What should he do? RJ had plenty of people looking out for him. He should be fine.

His gut was telling him otherwise.

He could just teleport by tree…just to check up on him.

Yes…everything will be fine…and stuff.

Maybe, RJ has some pizza left over.

Hmmm…Yummy.

He rushed over and grabbed his keys. He patted his pocket down to make sure his wand was there.

He bolted for the door.

As he locked up his apartment, one thought ran through his head.

He hoped that RJ was alright.
