Thanks for the original story @Wolfeye125:
"My first Story from the Workshop of thoughts
A young Man named Lysander bragged in a Bar how much Money he had on him. On the Way back Home he was robbed and beaten unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself in a litte Hut in the Company of an old Woman, who claimed to be a Healer. He spend Days with her, she feed him and changed his bandages. But then he got a high Fever and spend one Week in a Coma-Like State. When he woke up, he noticed that his Wounds were healed completely. Since the Woman told him his Injuries were fatal he got suspicious. He tried to flee but his Body wouldn't listen to him and he collapsed to the Ground. And before his Eyes his Hands changed slowly into Claws. He looked into the Mirror and to his utter Horror his entire Body started to change; to morph. Then the Woman revealed the true to him; She was a Healer - in this Point she has been honest with Lysander - but she was also a Witch. And that what she intended to do to him - the process already in motion - she had done to hundreds; if not thousands. Those Men who had beaten him to an inch of his Life were her Minions. They then would bring the half dead People to her and she would work her Ritual on them; First she would nurse them back to health, lulls them into a false sense of safety. Then she would put her Blood into Bread she gave them and while they were out cold the would do the Final Ritual; More of her Blood, the tailfeather of an Raven, the Heard of a Goat. Then her Victims would wake up and she would send them after her Enemies and force them to do her dirty Work. While she explained all that to him Lysander completed the agonizing Transformation in a Werwolf. His Human mind stayed but the bloodthirsty Mind of the Beast that he was now overruled easily. He was like a Prisoner in his own Head, able to see anything but absolutely unable to do something."
