The Power of the Heart
The origin of Jon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The lab of a mad person lies outside of a large city. A strange glow emitting out over the land from this place seeping out the windows and snaking between the crack in the walls. Deep inside this place a scientist is doing things he should not with the life that is a human.

On the table lies his creation a form about the size of a six-year-old with obvious differences from a normal human. The creature was what almost all would call a freak with the head of a wolf and the fur to match.

The fur was black with white on the chest and stomach. The form wore nothing but a pair of baggy shorts the creator had given him. The creature was an unconscious and the scientist was doing random tests that would appear to be painful.

As the Scientist worked on, the hate built up in his eyes his creation was not to his liking it had missed allot of qualities he had wanted in it. The small male form twitched in its sleep as the drugs started to where off and it sat up looking itself over.

Tears stung his eyes as the sorrow welled up inside himself at the mere sight of himself he hadn\'t been this way when he had fallen asleep with his father. \"Papa...\" he called out his small wolf like face very different from what he\'d expected \"papa where are you?\" he called out again.

The scientist moved out of the shadows \"right here little one\" the scientist said his voice dripping with loathe for what had been his son. \"Papa what happened to me it’s scary...\" he started to cry again this time allot more tears fell.

\"You outlived your use as a son so I used you as an experiment.\" the scientist said like it didn\'t seem that out of place and wasn\'t odd. \"Papa... you ... did... this... to me\" he said in-between sobs his small little tail curled up against his leg as his tears fell more rapidly.

The father moved up slowly and hit the child hard sending him back a few feet and landing on the ground with a loud thud \"stop crying freak your usefulness as an experiment is over and I need to dispose of you\". The father pulled out a needle with tranquilizer in it too big of a dose that would easily send the small ones form into a coma and kill him.

\"Papa... why... why did you do this to me I thought I was a good son\". The father chuckled \"I never wanted a son I couldn\'t help it if your slut of a mother got pregnant and made me keep you as well as her\". The son\'s tears fell again \"where’s mommy I want my mommy\".

The father laughed again \"don’t you remember son\" he made a cruel way of saying son like he didn\'t actually care or anything \"your mother left long ago because you made her work too hard.... Well I shouldn\'t say that she left more like she got sick and I was forced to kill her so that she wouldn\'t cost anything for me. All because you made her sick you made me kill her\"

He shouted at the small one \"and she hated you to the very essence so first I alleviated her of being human I mad her into something far worse than what I’ve done to you\" the father enjoyed toying with life and people\'s emotions the truth was that his mother had discovered what the father had been doing and he made a show of changing her slowly and most painfully before he finally killed her.

His mother had never hated the boy he was all she had that would love her in the end. The boy was crying very heavily, he had loved his mother too much not to cry. \"Now its time for you to join your mother. Hold still while I give you this medicine it will...\" he was cut off by a loud crash of his door shattering.

A group of police officers rushed in they pulled the mad man away from the small boy and cuffed him taking the needle from him. They took him out of the room. The small boy was crying all curled up in the corner.

The other officers moved out of the room noticing how he looked and not caring thinking him to be anything but one of the madman’s experiments that was too dangerous. A single female agent moved forward actually caring about him she picked up his small crying form and tried to hush him she made no bad presumptions about how he looked not caring all she knew is that he was sad.

She was about 5\'7\" with long red hair held up in a ponytail. Her body was fit and looked good in her blue police outfit. She cradled him softly holding him to her chest \"hush little one I’m not going to hurt you\" she said softly trying to calm him. He slowly stopped crying and looked up to her. His face may have looked like a wolf\'s but his eyes were still human she could see the pain in his eyes.

She got a blanket and wrapped it around him slowly never putting him down. He was quite small for his age only standing about 2\'3\" only weighing 40 to 50 pounds with a mane of black hair stretching down his back. She held him softly and smiled down to him. He felt himself growing tired and his body began to fall asleep.

She held him inside the blanket still cradling him as he fell asleep. A male agent moved in about 5\'10\"with black hair and deep brown eyes. \"You going to keep that freak Ellena\" he said coldly. \"Ed! He’s not a freak he\'s just been used against his will. And yes I will be keeping him he needs a family right now and if I didn\'t take him he\'d probably end up being disposed of\" she replied cradling him still rocking him a bit.

Ed looked on his expression cold as ice \"you can keep the little... thing but don’t come crying to us when its true nature shows and it tries to kill you\" Ed scoffed and left Ellena glared at his back and then moved out behind him she moved to a Police car and got in the passenger side another female agent looked to her as she got in \"what you got there Ellena\" she asked.

She opened the protective cover of the blankets showing the other \"He was the madman’s son but look what he did to him Mary he\'s changed him into something else\" Ellena spoke softly feeling Very sorry for the little one.

Mary was about the same height as Ellena with short blonde hair falling just to her chin level. \"What could posses a man to do that to his son... wait isn\'t this the place where the woman went missing a year ago do you think that Guy could have done the same thing to his wife as well\".

Ellen looked to Mary \"that’s best left for others to discover\" she held the little one safe against her chest. Mary smiled a bit \"you love the little one already don’t you Ellena give him a good home okay and shield him from those who will call him a freak... besides I don’t know about you but honestly I think he\'s kinda cute\" she reached over and ran a hand over the little ones chest softly and his leg twitched in his sleep \"I take it back he is cute no doubt you just got to look past how he actually looks\" Mary spoke softly and Ellena smiled.

\"Mary you and I may be the only ones to ever notice that but lets hope that he\'s not emotionally scarred by this\" she gave the little one a soft squeeze hugging him a bit tighter \"you don’t mind if I bring him into the office since we share the cubical it will probably be okay since were only out here cause some people are sick\" Mary nodded with a small smile \"besides I doubt people will accept him anywhere and I cant leave him at home he\'s not old enough\" they both nodded and smiled.

Mary drove them back to the office where they ended shift and went home. Ellena was careful not to wake him as she set him down she changed into her sleeping clothes a white T-shirt and pair of sweat pants. She moved to her bed and pushed the covers up. She untangled him from the blanket laying his small form down and lying down next to him and pulling the covers up. He moved closer to her instinctively and just moved up against her his fur was soft and silky.

She put an arm over him her mid back length red hair falling around her face gently as she fell asleep with him. The night passed and the little one had slept well. His eyes opened slowly and he looked around then to himself the memory of last night flashing back for him. He started crying again his heart filled with self-hate.

His crying woke Ellena up she moved quickly and pulled him back into her soft comfortable embrace cradling him again \"Calm down little one he is gone and you need not worry anymore he cant hurt you anymore \"she kissed his forehead gently and held him gently.

He stopped crying again and just nuzzled into her gently not knowing what to say but this reminded him of what he had felt when his mother had held him. Ellena hugged him gently \"Okay little one... my names Ellena but you can call me Elle. What’s your name?\" she asked softly.

He looked up to her \"my name is Jon,” he said softly. Ellena smiled and hugged him again \"Okay, Jon you want something to eat I don’t have to work today since its Saturday and it’s my day off\" she said with a smile.

He smiled well it wasn\'t really a smile but it was what she perceived as a smile \"yeah I’m kinda hungry...\"he looked down his eyes grew cold again \"Why are you being so nice? No ones ever been nice to me since my mother left and now my Papa made me into this and said I was a freak and hit me. Why...\" he asked again falling back in to his self hate that had grown so strong in just a few minutes of last night he felt his eyes stinging again and he started to cry again his small arms wrapped around her.

She held him holding him gently his face buried into her chest softly as he cried out his sorrow. She held him as he did this knowing sometimes it was best to let these things out instead of bottling them up. A few minutes passed and he settled down again his eyes red from crying he hugged her still as he felt a bit better.

Ellena gave him another good hug \"feeling better Jon?\" she asked softly. He nodded and moved away once again his smile like thing present. \"Alright then lets get some breakfast\" she said with a gentle smile. The got up and moved out into the living room when a knock was heard at the door \"Ellena you up yet I’ve got some things for the little one\" Ellena moved to the door letting Mary in.

Mary smiled as she entered. Jon ran and hid under Ellena\'s bed afraid of what others might think of him. Mary moved after him and looked under the bed \"Its okay little one I’m not going to bite\" she said softly with a smile looking at him under her Ellena\'s bed.

Jon moved out from under the bed and looked to her feeling a bit uneasy. Mary scooped him up into a hug and Ellena smiled as Jon didn\'t freeze up instead he hugged back. Mary set him down \"So what’s your name little one\" he smiled again \"I’m Jon\" he said looking up to her. Mary looked down to him getting on one knee and held out her hand for a quick shake. He shook her hand. And she stood back up she wore a Black pair of Baggy Cargo pants And a tight pink tank top accenting her fit form. She moved to the couch dropping her bag onto it \"C\'mere Jon I\'ve got some stuff for you that you might like\" Jon moved foreword looking up into her eyes His calm Blue Meeting the soft green of hers.

Ellena moved and sat down next to Mary. Mary pulled a bunch of things from the bag a few sets of clothing for him. She made him try on most of them to make sure they fit they consisted of a few pairs of black cargo pants found just in his size that she made a note to get holes put in the back for his tail. Some simple white t-shirts and a Set of something Mary had really wanted to see him in it was a mock police outfit in the same color of theirs with a hat and every thing.

\"You’re so cute in that Jon I think you should ware that to the office on Monday\" Ellena Said softly. \"I agree Jon you are really cute in that and I think that maybe some others may think so too \"Mary added in her normal happy fashion.

\"Thank you\" Jon said with a blush that they couldn\'t see well for the most part. Jon pulled off the outfit much preferring the baggy cargo pants and the white shirt he pulled a seam in the back and his tail snuck out and moved back and forth happily. Mary then pulled some more things from the bag.

\"Jon do you know how to write?\" Mary asked and Jon nodded \"good I want you to keep a diary so that you can at least get it out of your mind and write it down so that you don’t feel as bad plus you never know what good can come from a diary \"She tossed him the book with a pen slot in its spine for safe keeping.

\"Okay I’ll write it down and keep this diary\" he said with a smile he was quite smart for his age and had loved his school studies even if his peers hadn\'t liked him. Ellena looked to Mary with a smile \"You didn\'t have to do this Mary\". \"I know I didn\'t but I wanted to\" she reached into the bag again this time it was something for his own entertainment it was a Gameboy Advanced SP and a few games

\"Now Jon this is for you and think of it as a birthday present...By the way when is your birthday\" He was all wide eyed he had really wanted one of those. \"My birthday was yesterday that’s why I was home all day or at least that’s what I had thought\" he showed a very good mastery of the English language using words that most didn\'t use properly for another few years.

Ellena and Mary felt a new wave of hatred for the \'Doctor Gyrd\' they exchanged looks that said the same thing \'he did that and even on his sons birthday non the less he\'s a monster\'. They looked back to Jon now smiling knowing how truly fragile he would probably be after that.

Jon snuck up and sat between them smiling to them \"can you be my new family since I don’t have one anymore \"he asked with that similar smile. They looked to each other and smiled before hugging him \"yes\" they said at the same time.

Jon hugged each of them in turn seeing that his arms weren’t big enough to hug them at the same time. Ellena smile and sat back comfy on the couch with Jon next to her and Mary on the other end. Jon snuggled up against them and he reached out letting Mary deposit the GBA SP into his lap. He set it down on the coffee table and stood up \"I’m hungry... is anyone else hungry because Elle said something about breakfast\".

They all got up and moved to the kitchen and cooked up a storm not knowing what Jon liked or how much he\'d eat. He surprised both of them by showing that he liked every thing and had quite the appetite. They all ate to there fill Mary and Ellena sat back down on the couch and Jon curled up between them and dozed off into a small nap cause well he would need such things after big meals.

Time passed and the next morning came and Jon went to the office with them in his little outfit he did turn a few heads and got one other person to look past his being different A 5\'10\" Male officer had seen him in his little outfit and smiled he saw right past his wolf like traits looking at the boy that he truly would have been.

\"Who does the little one belong to\" He questioned Ellena and Mary Ellena turned around and looked to him \"Oh hi Joseph. I’ve taken him in as my own he was the son of that madman Gyrd\" Joseph laughed his hair was longer than Ellena\'s and a messy brown color. His eyes were a deep indigo blue and he wore the same police outfit.

Jon moved up standing in front of Joe. Joe knelt down next to him getting closer to his height level \"Hi my names Joe what’s yours\" Joe asked with his smile. Jon resisted running and hiding behind the wastebasket \"Jon\" he replied slowly.

\"You don’t need to be afraid of me I want to be your friend\" Joe said with a smile Joe enjoyed how Jon looked finding him cute and he loved dogs and most other animals. \"Really?\" Jon questioned for safety. Joe just ruffled the hair on Jon\'s head \"really really\" Joe said still smiling.

Jon jumped for joy and held out his hand to shake Joe\'s. Joe shook his smaller hand with a smile. Jon used this time to sneak his fake cuffs around Joe’s hand unnoticed and managed to get is other hand in too. Joe stood up without noticing and went to wave good bye \"when did you get these on me \"Joe looked down to Jon and Jon tossed him the little keys \"when I shook your hand\".

Joe undid them and handed them back \"Wow Jon I cant even get them on people without them noticing your pretty good at that\" Jon returned the cuffs to his back pocket and the keys to his key-ring \"maybe I can be an officer when I grow up\".

Ellena smiled seeing Jon being happy \"Maybe people will look past it at that point plus you could smell the offender from a ways away\" she said softly as she typed away at her station. Jon nodded with another smile and went off to play with Joe. Joe let him play on his computer Jon showed great tactical skill on his battle game surprising Joe even further.

The times passed on as they always do after about a year of this life the normal day passed over again and Jon now stood about 4\' tall now wearing a set of white T-shirt and black cargo pants he sat in his favorite place in Ellena\'s office he played with his SP with a smile he loved that gift he had beaten most of the games Mary had given him and he was halfway through another one.

Joe showed up as he always did bringing with him a doughnut for Jon simple glazed \"Jon you should try something else every once in a while you might find something you like\" Joe said as Jon Ate his doughnut \"yeah maybe but I like the glazed one not too sweet but not bland either\" Jon finished his doughnut and Joe smiled and pulled something from his pocket it was a nice watch that told time and gave a simple weather forecast along with multiple other functions.

Joe had learned of what had happened to Jon and Knew when his birthday was and Joe had missed it by a day but a gift was a gift right. He tossed the small packed to Jon who was occupied with his Gameboy.

Jon quickly caught it before it collided with his head holding the package as he paused the game \"Nice Try Joe but I heard it leave your hand.\" He listened to it before opening it \"Wow Joe This must have been expensive\" Jon said his eyes wide \"I can\'t accept this from you it had to have been really expensive\".

Joe smiled \"go ahead Jon take it I got a deal my family runs the jewelry store and they got it cheap\" Jon put the watch on and clicked a few buttons. \"Wow its really good Thanks\" Jon moved up and hugged Joe.

Joe hugged back \"your welcome\" Jon returned to his seat and smiled he saved and turned off the Gameboy. He moved to get up and stretch but stopped mid stretch \"we\'ve got trouble\" he sad in a low voice his sensitive ears heard something he didn’t like and being around the police office he knew what it was \"There’s someone in the lobby who just cocked a shotgun\".

Joe pulled out his pistol \"you sure Jon that sound could be other things\". Jon looked to Joe \"I’m positive\" Ellena and Mary looked to both of them and moved under the desk Jon\'s ears had never deceived him. Joe left and moved out into the lobby Jon got low to the ground. A few seconds passed and a gunshot was heard followed by another.

\"Joe’s been hit\" Jon said suddenly and got up and moved away quickly Ellena and Mary flicked up the security views for the lobby watching knowing they couldn\'t stop Jon if they wanted to.

Jon moved into the lobby quickly getting behind the guy unnoticed except by Joe who kept quiet he had been nicked in the shoulder pretty badly but was lucky for the most part he\'d be okay. Jon tapped on the guys shoulder \"Hey you want to give me that or do I have to take it by force\" Jon said with a low growl.

The guy spun around and Jon jumped back about 5 feet \"Force it is\". The guy just stared at Jon ready to fire \"what the hell are you\" the guy said \"some kind of freak\" he said cruelly and fired at Jon who just stepped to the side. He fired again Jon dodged again he was sure to only stand where no one was behind him. Jon rushed foreword and the guy shot a him.

Jon got his this time in his right arm he jumped back his blood dripping on the ground and he howled as he felt bestial instincts take over. His eyes went wide and the turned red as blood. The fur on his body changed to a silvery white and on his chest was deep red. \"You shouldn\'t have done that,” Jon said still growling.

Jon dashed forword again the guy fired again but Jon jumped up and he missed he came back down still running he made contact grabbing the guns barrel and ripping it from his hands he moved quickly and jumped over him again and hit him with the butt of the gun straight to the back of the neck.

The guy fell to the ground and so did Jon his fur returned to normal and his wound healed allot faster than it should have it only took about 20 minuets. Ellena and Mary had seen the whole thing.

Jon was back in the Medical area with Joe as he woke up Joe smiled to him \"Nice job Jon you just saved a lot of lives\" Jon hung his head and started crying again \"yeah but I lost control and could have killed him if I hadn\'t held back.\"

Joe moved over sitting down next to him with a smile\" yeah but you didn\'t and that’s what matters isn\'t it\" Jon cried harder \"I’ve become what he wanted me to a Fighting machine I cant stay here anymore I have to get away so I don’t hurt anyone like I did my mother I ended up killing her\" Jon stood up\" tell them I’m sorry tell them that I wish I could stay... tell them I think of them as my mothers just please don’t tell them that I was crying I don’t want to seem weak\" he smiled a meaningless smile\" and Joe I thought of you as a father more than I every did my real father\" he turned and ran away crying and howling in sorrow.

Joe stood up to follow him but had to sit back down. Not long afterward Ellena and Mary came down looking for Jon and Joe told them all that had happened he even told them that he had been crying despite what Jon had told him.

They Cried for him and went looking for him. Jon made sure they didn\'t find him. A week later he returned to Ellena\'s house she was asleep on the bed and Mary was on the couch. He hated seeing them so weak from searching for him.

He grabbed the bag that he kept his stuff in he left the GBA and its games on the coffee table and only took his clothing and his diary. He paused for a moment leaving a note for them and kissed each of them on the cheek before he jumped out the window again.

They awoke the next morning and found the note. Ellena opened it and read it out loud \"I’m sorry for leaving like this but a freak like me doesn’t deserve your kindness. I’m leaving the Game boy but I’m taking my cloths and my diary like Mary had asked me to keep one through life. I love you both as my mothers and I really wish I could stay but I’m far too dangerous for you to be near me. Please don’t forget me I don’t know if ill ever see you again but please hold me close in your hearts and in your memories... please remember me... I love you please don’t cry for me I’m not worth it. With Love Jon \"the page was stained in places with his own tears.

\"P.S. I got the picture of me you two And Joe Developed and made copies so we could all remember each other\" Ellena finished in tears and she collapsed to her knees crying and Mary moved over in much the same condition.

Joe was heard at their door and entered signs that he had been doing just the same on the drive here he held another note from Jon. He got down right there next to them. They all hugged each other as they cried joe was more of someone to suport the other two but he shed tears aswell.

Just outside their window they saw his form silhouetted against the rising sun. He let out a long sorrow filled howl holding it for as long as his lungs could stand before dashing off again keeping the ones he loved out of his life yet still in it locking up his love and other emotions.

Time passed and they held his memory close they all moved into another house so that they could live together. They kept a room for Jon just in case he ever returned. They would buy clothes in his favorite fashion and Jon would return every now and then in the dead of night and take them leaving nothing behind but another note and a few gifts for each of them that he had made money enough for.

He worked as whatever he could get jobs as from sympathetic people. Every once and a while a small report on him would be heard stuff about a wandering Wolf man and some out of focus pictures of him jumping from building to building as he traveled.
