科齋第A017回:狼襲漁村 (Fishing Village)
在太平洋沿岸的某個地方,有一個村莊,那裡的海岸線經常會漂來一具奇怪的屍體。坊間傳聞,這具屍體會復活,長成狼人小孩。
村裡有個名叫賈娜的女人,她喜歡管閒事。她會帶著女兒伊芙來到海灘,撿拾那些漂來的屍體,然後和村民們爭吵,試圖回到山上的安全住所。有一年,她們把喬恩從海灘救了出來,兩人一起生活。
村民們憎恨她們,因為她們的住所對村子來說太過危險。多年過去了,再也沒有屍體漂到岸邊。喬恩和伊芙在賈娜的陪伴下長大,希望不久的將來能結婚。賈娜從未告訴他們,她身患絕症,已是晚期。
當喬恩和伊芙決定告訴賈娜他們的婚事時,賈娜欣慰地離世,向他們表示祝賀。之後,他們滿懷期待地盼望著賈娜的葬禮。他們承諾會繼承她的事業。然而,接下來發生的事情卻比他們預想的要奇怪得多。一個胖男人漂到了岸邊。
他名叫馬克,和喬恩擱淺時的樣子截然不同。他迅速變身成狼,嚇壞了村民。他奮力爬上山坡,這時一位女子前來幫助他。馬克已筋疲力盡。瓊恩和伊芙對此很感興趣。
於是,他們跟著那位女子,看著她帶著狼跑向山裡的某個地方。過了一會兒,狼休息了一會兒,變回了人形。喬恩和伊芙與他交談,他告訴他們,有一個組織致力於拯救狼群,使其免受村民的傷害。他們都是之前被賈娜救下的受害者。
他們來自海對岸的一個島嶼,綽號狼人島。島上的狼曾被釘在十字架上,直到被瘋狂長老丟進大海。
There is a village somewhere facing Pacific Ocean where the coastal area often has an odd body floating up the shore. There is a rumour that the body would come alive to grow into werewolf children.
And there was a meddling woman named Jana who could come to the beach, picked uo stray bodies with her daughter Eve and fought the villagers to go back to the safe home in the hill. One year they towed Jon from the beach and lived together.
The villagers hated them ax their home is too dangerous for the community. Many years passed and no more bodies floated up the shore. Jon and Eve grew up with Jana hoping they would end up married in near future. Jana never told them that she had a terminal illness in a final stage.
When Jon and Eve decided to tell Jana of a wedding plan, Jana thankfully breathed her last to congraulate them. Then a happy day looks forward to Jana funeral later on. They promised to carry on her work. Next occurrence is a lot stranger than they had expected. A fat man drifted to shore.
His name was Mark, and he wasn't like Jon when he beached the shore. And his swift transformation to a wolf scared the villager a lot more. He fought his way up the hill as a woman came to his help. Mark was near exhaustion. Jon and Eve was intrigued.
So they followed the woman as she ran to somewhere in the mountain with the wolf. The wolf rested after a while and turned to human shape. Jon and Eve spoke to him as he told them there is a society to save the wolves from the villagers. They are all the victim previously saved by Jana.
They came from an island across the sea nicknamed Werewolf Island. Their wolves were hung on crucifixes until they were thrown into sea by Mad Elders teams.
