and
the Werewolf
„Oh my god, we’re all gonna die!”- shrieked an old lady standing in front of the gang.
„What’s going on here, Miss? Who could have done such a thing?”- Velma asked the old woman.
„Can’t you see? The werewolf is back! After a hundred years, the curse has striken again!”- an angry man interrupted. A third person hushed him:
„Cut it out, that’s bullshit! If the werewolf is a Hart, why would it attack its own property? Obviously one of the villagers freaked out after the slaughters of the livestock, and assaulted the Harts!”
„Guys, it seems this is the house of that Hart family from the legend! We’re facing another mystery here.”-Velma turned to the gang.
At this point, the police have arrived to the scene, and sheriff Gene Shaw stepped out of the car, along with his deputy, Matthew Mason. The sheriff was a rather chubby man, his hair being grey already, despite he was obviouly not older than 50. His vice, on the other hand was a handsome tall young man. They were wearing their uniforms, and according to the season and the weather- which means a cold late-November night-, a fur coat. At the arrival of the local police force, the mob fell into silence all of a sudden, and opened a way for the officers. The sheriff measured the seriousness of the case, and called to the people:
„Alright everyone, I enforce a curfew right away. Go home. I’m going to investigate this crime, find the culprits and punish them accordingly. Whoever stands in my way, I’ll take him or her into custody for obstructing the authorities.” –Matthew added:
„You’ve heard the sheriff, go home!”- And like an obedient flock, the villagers got dispersed. In a few minutes, the yard was empty, except for the police officers and the gang. Sheriff Shaw whispered something to Mason, and he himself moved to the door of the house and knocked on it, while shouting:
„Anne! Anne Hart! It’s me, the sheriff. You can come out now!” In the meantime Mason walked to the gang and with suspicion on his countenance, he said:
„So who are you guys? I’ve never seen you before.”
„Good evening, sir, my name is Fred Jones, and this is Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby Doo. Actually we have come to visit Shaggy’s uncle, Mr. Rogers. We’ve lost our way so we were about to ask for help when we bumped into this crowd.”
„Oh, Mr. Rogers. He is a fine man, he is doing a great job taking care of the city museum and library. Nice to meet you, alas, the time is not the best. As you can see, some serious shit is going on here.”
„Yes, on our way here we took rest in a tavern and heard about the legend of the werewolf and that animals are being killed.”
„By the way, Rogers has said something about that you solved a crime case not long ago. Maybe you could be of some help, if you don’t mind.”
„Not at all sir. We”d be glad to…”- said Fred but Shaggy interrupted him:
„Fred you can’t be serious! I’m not gonna get myself killed!”
„Oh, so you haven’t got the braveness of the Rogers family!”- wondered officer Mason. –„Your uncle is a very brave man. He is the leader of the civil patrol here, and a devoted hunter.”
„See, Shaggy, you don’t have to be afraid. You’ll be safe.”- said Fred.
„Sigh, you guys are hopeless.”- Shaggy shook his head, and so did Scooby.
„Let’s see what the sheriff has found out.”- suggested Matthew and they walked to Mr. Shaw, who was writing a report based on Anne Hart’s testimony. In the eyes of this gentle looking middle aged lady, tears were glistening. Behind her, a young girl in her late teens was standing, supporting her mother. She was Linda Hart.
„Mr. Shaw! I can’t take this anymore! My husband died years ago, I’m all alone with my daughter and noone can protect us from the anger and suspicion of the villagers. And our poor dog…oh my god…”- she burst out in tears.
„Calm down Mrs. Hart, I can assure you that I will do my best to end the calamities happening lately. Your house will be under surveillance all day and night, so noone can harm you. You can sleep in peace. Me and my collegaue will take shifts starting from tonight.”
„It must have been that obnoxious Bill Thomas! His chickens were slaughtered last time and he must have decided to take revenge!”- Linda raised her voice. As it is usual with youngsters around her age, she had the purity of innocence and had a strong sense of justice. She couldn’t stand seeing her mother in a state like this.
„Miss. Hart, there is no proof for that. We will investigate the case, that’s all I can promise. And now, I shall notify the undertaker to take away the corpse of your dog. My condolences. I’m sorry for all of this.”- said the sheriff in a soft way. He might not look it, but he had a big heart and a firm personality. That’s why he could keep the order in the city so far.- „Now please, go back inside the house and try not to worry, I’m in control of the situation. Good night!”- and so, the ill-fated ladies retired, and the sheriff turned to his deputy:
„Damn, I have no idea how to stop this frenzy. Who are these guys?”
„They are friends of John Rogers. You know, the ones he mentioned. They might be able to help us.”-answered Matthew.
„That’s a relief. I could definitely use some sharp minds and – at this point he looked at Scooby- a nose.”
„At your service, sir.”- saluted Freddy.
„As you’ve heard, we’ve got some business to do. I’ll get these bloody remnants taken away. Jeez, who could have done this. I know everyone in the town, and nothing like this has happened before.”-complained the sheriff.- „Matthew, you’ll be staying here for the night to secure the scene. I’ll take turn in the morning. As for you guys, I’ll show you the way to Rogers’ house. Then I’ll interrogate some people around the town. Let’s go.”-and then everything went as Shaw planned. The gang has successfully reached uncle Rogers’ house. They dropped out of the Mystery Machine, thanked the sheriff for the help and rang the bell. Mary Rogers opened the door. When she recognized the visitors, a huge smile appeared on her face.
„Oh my dears, finally you have arrived. Come in quickly, it’s not safe outside at night nowadays.”- and she shepherded them inside. Just when they entered the hall, Scooby jumped into Shaggy’s arms.
„Monsters!”-he cried, pointing towards the trophies on the wall. They were the heads of boars, deers and wolves.
„Come on Scoob, these are just hunted animals.”- explained Daphne.
„Hi-hi-hi”- snickered Scoob and returned onto the ground. John Rogers entered the room with his son, Peter.
„Shaggy my son, I haven’t seen you in ages! And Scooby! You’ve grown big!”- just as he finished his sentence, Scooby licked his face.
„Hey uncle John, hey Peter! Good to see you again! These are my friends: Fred, Daphne and Velma.”
„Nice to meet you!”- the folks echoed.
„I hope you are hungry, as I have prepared some dinner for you.”- said Mary.
„Of course we are! We had some sandwiches but I’m hungry again!”- replied Shaggy with joy.
„Haha dear, you haven’t changed a thing. I’ll warm the meal for you. We were expecting you to come earlier.”
„Yes madam but we took a wrong turn and we had to find our way back. Also, we ended up at a crime scene at the Hart house.”- answered Velma.
„Oh, so you have heard about what’s going on. Have you also found out about the rumors?”
„Regarding the werewolf? Yes. We were asked to help the police to solve this mystery.”
„You had better stay out of it. You might get in danger.”- uncle John noted.
„See, I told you we shouldn’t get involved into all this.”-Shaggy remarked.
"Sir, don’t worry, we can take care of ourselves.”- answered Fred.
„Speak for yourself.”- sulked Shaggy.
„Well you are at home here, so you can do as you wish, but we’ve made a promise to help so tomorrow we’ll go and investigate.”- said Fred firmly.
„Hey guys, don’t argue, let’s go eat, dinner is ready.”- Peter informed them. And so, they had their meals, after which the gang was shown to their bedrooms and they went to sleep. It was the night before full Moon.
