Youtuber By Day-Chapter 9

Badbadbadbadbad! Very bad! They couldn't be stuck in traffic when he was on the verge of transforming.

Neither of them had the chance to react or say anything before Mark grimaced & hunched over in his seat. He wrapped an arm around his middle feeling his insides shift. He was already starting to sweat.

There was no way Mark could even pretend to drive right now, so Wade unbuckled his seat belt & touched Mark's arm. "Switch seats with me."

Mark looked up & nodded pressing his lips together. He moved himself out of the driver's seat while Wade maneuvered himself there. He slumped into the passenger's seat & tried to focus on his breathing.

"Can you...hold it back?" Bob leaned forward from the back seat with deep concern on his face.

Mark cringed wrapping his arms around himself, "I can try..." By the way he said those three words both Bob & Wade knew he was already having a hard time with it.

"I'm taking the back roads." Wade turned the steering wheel & drove the car off the main road as soon as he got the chance. It would normally take longer than using the main road but with the traffic it'd definitely be quicker.

"Don't go too fast, we don't need to get pulled over." Bob added.

Mark gritted his teeth feeling the aching in his body intensify. He looked into the side mirror & saw his teeth were starting to form into fangs. He leaned his head back against the seat.

Wade glanced over at Mark seeing just how tight his grip on himself was by his white knuckles. "Hang in there, Mark."

Mark took a deep breath hearing the encouragement & furrowed his eyebrows in concentration.

By the time they reached the apartment building the sky was darker & Mark had grown fangs, claws & pointed ears & his eyes shown amber despite his efforts.

Wade parked the car & looked from Mark to Bob, "He can't go in like this."

Bob creased his eyebrows & glanced around the car. He grabbed a pair of sunglasses & took his own hoodie off. "Put these on."

Mark didn't hesitate & slipped the hoodie & glasses on.

Bob pulled the hood up for Mark so hopefully no one would see anything.

Mark stuffed his hands in his pockets & the three of them made their way into the lobby.

The were almost to the elevator when-

"Mr. Fischbach!"

They all froze & Mark stiffly turned to see the landlord walking towards them.

"Excuse me, I wanted to talk to you about some complaints I've been receiving lately." the stout man didn't pay much attention to Wade or Bob. "Some of the residents in the apartment next to & below yours have been complaining about noise coming from your apartment. A couple of them even mentioned some of the noises sounded like a large dog."

Mark froze & side glanced at Bob. There was no way he could attempt to say a thing & risk flashing his fangs.

Bob & Wade both stood there with their minds spinning to come up with some kind of believable excuse.
