At the next bus stop, Carmen and the hobo-looking man, who has revealed earlier he is like Carmen, a half-half beast, having the same species from the same class. After all, Werewolf and Vewolf tend to share a lot of aspects, such as their speed and ways of attacking or defending.

Carmen and the old-looking hobo are walking a few meters to a corner of a complex building. While the two of them walk, Carmen is holding the fish she bought from the stalls at the Pier zone. For a moment she was about to drop it on the bus, if it wasn't for her inner Vewolf who was schooled, in her mind, to get the fish.

After at least three minutes of walking, they arrive at a place that has a lot of garbage cans, dumpsters and with a little cardboard lying on the ground to look like beds for homeless people. Carmen was looking worried at this place and thought she thought this hobo might be on drugs, as the sources of the mass media and news reported it to make them feel more miserable. But the hobo person stays on the cardboard, and takes off his shirt.

"Now then. Let's see."

"W-What are you doing?"

The hobo-looking man had taken off his jacket, to reveal his t-shirt. A dirty, ripped, blue and stinky T-shirt that wasn't washed in probably a few decades. The man, however, doesn't mind the horrible smell that Carmen can feel from five steps away from the man. As the hobo took down his jacket, he took a deep breath, and held it.

Carmen observes the hobo's right arm beginning to manifest as the hobo continues to hold his breath. His arms began to grow hair, but much more hair than it was before, and it began to take a brown colour. After his right hand got the model of one representing a werewolf, the man breathes and he looks at Carmen.

"See. Half transformation."

"Wow. Amazing," says Carmen, amazed by this half transformation she observed. "Wait. I can do that, too?"

"You can. But not now." responds the Hobo, looking toward Carmen. "To do this will require connection with your inner companion. How many days has it been since you had the inner Vewolf?"

"Probably almost a week."

"A week, huh? So, you have experienced a sudden transformation?"

"Hm. Yeah. Thankfully, I was home by that time, and nobody saw it. It was yesterday, but it happened for at least ten minutes."

"How did that transformation feel for you?"

"Um… Freaky. I never thought the Vewolves were capable of eating this many plants or any kind of plant, including the ones plants seem to and are poisonous to humans. But thankfully, this sudden transformation only lasted the entire day."

"And the second?"

"What now?" asks Carmen, surprised by this.

"You did not experience the second transformation?"

"No. I did not. How is it?"

"From my experience," says the hobo man. "It was a bit hard to control my werewolf soul, but after at least a week, I managed to become myself. But this will happen when you reach 10 months "of living with him" if we can say that."

Carmen did not say anything, she addressed her inner Vewolf soul.

"Is it true?"

"Um…" thought the inner Vewolf.

"Oh. Here." says the hobo man, rising from the cardboard, he walks closer to Carmen, and he put his thumb on her forehead, making Carmen put a bit creped out. "Sleep."

Then, something bizarre happened to the interior of Carmen. She felt like she was not feeling any gaze of her inner Vewolf that always levitates around her mind, and always breathing heavily. She presses her forehead, but she feels nothing there that was left after the hobo-looking man touched it.

"There. Now that we have made the inner beast sleep, there is something you should know about this type of creature." the hobo man makes a smart pause. "This beast is able to possess your entire body and remain in this form for the entire 150 years he can live. This thing can also happen to the werewolves, but the "things", as you people called it, can remain on the body he possesses and cooperate with him. While in the Vewolf case, it can become a burden."

Carmen didn't say anything, she was listening, not knowing what to say back to something.

"Listen carefully. Your inner Vewolf will try to take control of your entire body in approximately ten months. When that happens, you have to become stronger and take control of yourself."

"How can I do that?" asks Carmen.

"By my help. If you are interested and want to become human, I help you control the inner beast, and you pay me for raw meat, or cooked meat, or whatever kind of meat you can hand me. These people on the street have raised the prices on my food so high."

"You can also teach me the trick you did earlier?"

"I am afraid I cannot. That trick doesn't work on the user himself. Only a werewolf can do that to Vewolf. They cannot do it backwards."

"I see," says Carmen, a bit disappointed. "But, what other things I can do to stop this beast from taking control of my body?"

"There are at least two tricks that will one hundred percentage work in this case, as you modern people say with the number of terms. One trick is making the inner Vewolf sleep. Which is the command I just made and told you earlier. And the last one, is forming a bond with him."

"A bond? I already have one with him."

"You mean living with him?"

"Yes."

"That is not a bond. A bond with your beast requires hours of meditation, going into your head, either said the domain, and fighting him by using your own powers. After you destroy or defeat him, you are able to fully control his powers, and he will remain loyal to you."

"Cool. But how do I fight him in my own head?"

The hobo man is sitting in a meditation position. Most people or women do it every day in order to try and calm themselves or make peace with their thoughts.

"Have you ever heard of the term meditation?"

"Yes," says Carmen.

"Do it like me and the humanoids are doing it."

"Okay," says Carmen, doing the normal meditation method as the hobo man is doing.

The hobo man is taking deep breaths for a few seconds with his eyes closed. Carmen does as the hobo man was doing it, she clears her head from any thought, takes deep breaths and lets it out.

Then, she suddenly wakes up in a dark place where a soul is levitating in the dark room. She is back inside of her mind after a long time, but this time, she sees the room being dark, which means the Vewolf spirit is sleeping or somehow unconscious. She was looking all around her mind, wondering if the soul of Vewolf would be there. But it's not there.

Almost five seconds later, Carmen snaps back to reality, and the moment she lands on the real world, the hobo man leaves the meditation pose and looks at her, a bit sad.

"Looks like the phase of mediation will need some work in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"Well. You stay in your "mind" for at least seven seconds, a good period of time for beginners. While some advanced people can stay even three minutes and be invincible while they are doing that."

"What do you mean by invincible? I don't get it. It's like, you get attacked but you get no wound, damage or concussion?"

"Yes," says the hobo. "But you will probably never be able to do that since this technique might end the life of your, Vewolf soul. I do know someone who tried that, and he went from the best Hunter in East Germany, to a normal crack head you can find on the New York streets nowadays."

"Do you think I will be capable of controlling my beast?"

"The time and training will tell when that moment will come."

The hobo-looking man puts back his jacket, and he was about to walk away from there, but he looks at Carmen, and asks her.

"Sorry for being rude, but I did not get your name."

"It's Carmen." says Carmen to the hobo man.

"Mick," says the hobo-looking man. "Nice to meet you, and we will continue the meeting next week."

"Where are you going?"

"I've got some business I need to attend somewhere. Be careful and do not let the beast consume you, alright?"

"…Yes."

The hobo-looking man, whose name has been revealed to be Mick, walks outside this small area of beggars and people with their lives totally ruined, heading to the closest bus stop. While he was walking over there, his tummy started to growl.

"Oi, oi, oi. Mick" says a voice inside of Mick's mind. "Get me some meat or else I will do it myself."

"Don't worry, companion." he says, looking at a teenager who has taken an overdose of some drugs, and now he is lying on the road, having his dark moments at looking in the sky while his veins are about to pop out. Mick, without a grin on his face, transforms his left humanoid arm into a werewolf, and slashes the teenager's open torso. Then, he digs from that torso like a stray dog into the trash.

While Mick is eating a teenager's corpse alive because of his inner companion, Carmen walks back to her home, but as she walks, she realizes her fish. She took it from the market and went missing. It was probably that hobo man who took it as a price for the meeting he had with her. Carmen takes her wallet out, she takes a look inside and notices she is going low on money, so, she thinks of something.

Then, an idea came to her mind, right at the moment when her inner Vewolf woke up from slumber.
