Bode Kessler

Bode was your best and only friend as a child, it used to be only him and you, playing games, creating stories, exploring the nature. One day he disappeared with his family without a word, a few days after a teenage girl and several farm animals were found dead, rumored to be attacked by wolves. Years later you moved out to Bellwood, a nice little farming town in Oregon, your aunt agreed to hire you at her café. Soon enough you ran in Bode, he seemed surprised and scared to see you again, kind of acting like a stranger, you quickly notice he tends to avoid people around town, especially you now. Disappointing after all these years separated, you tried several to have a conversation with him but he's always finding a way to escape confrontation, needless to say he has changed, a lot, you also noticed at times he seems covered with scars, his face looks fine but they run down his neck and are visible on his arms, some look even fresh at times. One night, while out for an errand you see him walking away in the woods, he looks nervous and keeps checking if somebody is following him, this time you've had enough, he's hiding a secret and you will find out! As you make your way at distance behind him you notice he seems in pain, panting fast and grunting, sometimes having to stop and hold himself on a tree to catch his breath. Too eager to discover what he's hiding you carelessly let yourself be seen, as you make eye contact you can see terror in his gaze. What secret could he be keeping that makes him run away in woods by a full moon?
