Derek was five years old and was in his room that he shared with two other boys, Micheal and Jack, they were both sleeping soundlessly in their beds. He on the other hand, had to go pee he had been dreaming about water and that did not help he was to caught up in the math problem that he was having problems with to listen to the nurse when she said to go to the bathroom and brush his teeth. Now he wished that he had listened they did not like the boys out wondering at night.
He stuck his head out the door and looked back and forth down the hall a few times, the walls were all white and there was no pictures. Seeing as no one was in the hall he ran down the hall to the bathroom. When he was done he headed back out. There was a voice of one of the really mean nurse.
"Derek, what do you think you are doing up?" The nurse yelled. He was kind of a short man going bald on the top of his head, and had tiny blue eyes with horn rimmed glasses on. Today he had on a pair of blue shrubs.
"I had to go pee, Nurse." Derek said, telling the truth and hoping that the nurse would let him go back to bed. He was looking down at the ground and trying not to show the point that he was afraid of this nurse.
"uh-huh, right. Come on you are going to the office.'' By the office that was kind of a class room/teacher room that had the three boys in to for at least four hours a day, but Derek was the only who did any of the work and was in a fourth grade work already and he was only in the beginning of first grade. The nurse clamped a hurting hand on his upper arm.
"I only had to go to the bathroom. Please let me go back to the room, Nurse."Derek said, he knew that crying with this nurse would only make him mad.
"Well, you know the rules and getting out of the room after nine is not a good idea around here.'' The nurse said, and kept walking.
"I know I was going back to bed, I promise." Derek said, in a whisper the nurse pretended not to hear him as they turned in to the "office".
"You sit right here."The nurse said, He sat Derek in a wooden chair, and pulled out a set of keys to unlocked the door and left the room. Derek sat there and waited he thought about just getting up and going back to the bedroom, and staying there then thought that the nurses would take him out of class tomorrow because he liked class and they knew it too. So he just sat there and made shaped out of the tiles on the floor and counting the tiles. He was on the fourth count when he started to hear the sound of footsteps coming up to the door he heard the key jingle in the lock and the door creak open,
A tall man with black hair and dark brown eyes almost black with a black tux on. walked in and the nurse came in to the room and locked the door behind them. The tall man looked at Derek and said to him looking grim.''Now, Son, what happened?"
"I had to go to the bathroom.''Derek said, looking Innocent and putting on a sleepy face that always got him out of trouble.
"That is all you dragged me down here for, Nick, the boy had to go to the bathroom." The man said, looking very angry.
"Yes, and he was supposed to be in bed."The nurse returned.
"Son, you may go back to bed now.''The tall man said, smiling kindly. Derek got up out or the chair that he had been seated in and left the room. As he was walking down the hall he stopped by the snack room and got an apple and went back to the room. After he ate the apple he went to sleep.

In the morning he could hear the other boys getting up there was yelling down the hall it sounded like two men. Derek sat up and looked at the other Micheal and Jake were starting to fight over a Tonka truck. The nurses would break them up when they herd them fighting or walked in. Derek got up and walked out of the room to go to the kitchen and eat. There was a new man in there he had light blond hair and slanted blue eyes. The man got down on one knee so they were eye level and said."Derek, right?
Derek nodded his head dark hair going in his face and eyes.
"Okay, Derek, do you want to get out of here?''The man said
"what do you mean?''Derek asked, scared of what would be the answer.
"I mean out of this place and to my home. Oh, yeah, and everyone calls me Kit." The man---Kit said, in a calm quite voice.
Derek nodded.
"Okay, can you tell time.''Kit asked.
Derek rolled his eyes, but nodded.
"Okay I need you to meet me in here at 10 O'clock sharp, Okay?''Kit said.
Derek nodded again.
"And don't tell anyone that I talked to you."Kit said, in a stern voice and smiled."I'll see you later today, Derek."
After that Derek went to the bedroom again and Micheal and Jake had been split up and were looking at each other angrily from their beds in timeout. Derek went over to the desk and sat down and started to work on some science. Then, One of the the boys, Jake, comes over and snatches the book away from him and all the papers go flying. Derek said,"Give that back, Jake, I am trying something that you could not do you're homework."
"No, Teacher's pet," and he started to rip out the pages.
Derek got up and pushed the Jake back and grabbed his book as Jake fell on his butt. Jake started to cry and that was something that he never did when Micheal punched him or bit him. A nurse came in and looked at the scene and ran out and came back with a syringe with out asking anything she walked over to Derek. Derek started to back away and fell over the Tonka truck that was left on the ground. The nurse said," You can make this easy or hard, Derek."
Derek looked at her and, said,"He took my book." Then the nurse came at him with the needle and plunged it in to his arm the last thought that went through his head was, What will happed? Kit is going to leave me here. I pushed a "peer".

The first time he was able to wake up the clock on the bedside table said one P.M. there was a pinching in his arm and everything went black again.

Kit used a silencing spell so his footsteps would not be heard he had slipped through the window like he had earlier in the day to talk to Derek. Derek had not met him in the snack room so Kit went to see what was wrong. He oped the door to the room he thought was the boys bedroom and was right, Derek looked drugged he was luckily the only one in the room at the time. Kit had no idea that that they had anything that could knock out a werewolf like this even a five year old werewolf in Derek's situation.
Kit walked over to the bed and shook the sleeping boy, he only mumbled something that was to grumbled to understand. There was nothing else out of the boy at all but the soft breathing. Kit picked the boy up with Derek's head on his shoulder and the boy still snoring, and he quickly walked out of the building and to the car.
He was sure that the sound of the car starting would wake the boy up but he slept all the way home. When they pulled up in the driveway the porch light came on and Simon Kit's son walked out. Simon looked tired and ready for bed in a white T-shirt and bed blue pants he stood there and looked at his father pull out the other boy from the front seat and took him to the front door. Simon looked at him and said,"Dad, who is that?"
"Simon, I'll tell you when we are in the house. Could you go and get some bedding for him first?" Kit said as he walked through the door and then locked it as soon as he was in. Simon returned a minute later with blankets and a pillow. "Okay, go put those on the couch you know how to make a bed on the couch."
Simon nodded, and walked in to the living room with the stuff and put the pillow at kind or the head of the couch and the blankets lied out on the couch. Kit walked in to the room and pulled back the blankets and put Derek in them. then he started to walk to Simon's room and sat in the desk chair and motioned Simon to close the door and sit on his bed. Simon's bedroom had no wall space there was drawn pictures all over the walls.
"Dad, who is that boy?" Simon asked, hardly able to sit still.
"Simon, you need to listen to me, Okay? And be understanding."Kit said, to Simon who nodded. Kit went on,"His name is Derek and he was in a hospital type place."
"Is he sick, Dad?"Simon asked.
"No,"Kit said, then."Come on bedtime"
"Okay."Simon said"Night, Dad."
