"Focus. You have to learn to control your inner primal instincts if you want to go to that school." I said sternly.
"I can't it's too hard to stop the change with that thing around!" growled my younger brother
"Kenzi, seriously it's getting hard for me to control myself with that damn fairy here. They are nearly as rare banshee's anymore he won't encounter any at the school. We need to get it out of here before we all do something we regret." My twin brother growled beside me.
"Look, if Corey wants to prove he can control the change on full moon's he needs to control his instincts when our favorite food source is near. From the looks of it you need a refresher on control too, look at me I'm perfectly fine with the fairy in front of me." I replied.
"Your glowing red eyes beg to differ." My twin said starkly.
"Shut it Caleb, at least I'm not practically full wolf unlike you." I snapped back. "Any ways Corey's doing well just give him a few more minutes and he'll be completely in control. Listen to his heart, it's becoming steadier."
The room got quiet except for the struggling moans and grunts from the tied up fairy in the chair in front of Corey. The fairy looked like a middle aged woman who has been working out and eating right her whole life, but in reality she is almost 500 years old and very powerful. It took a lot to get her to agree to this, but when you're approached by 2 werewolves who say they'll pay a million for your fairy magic you start negotiating. Granted I left out the fact that she would be face to face with a young wolf that is barely coming to grips with his ever growing abilities that might kill her, so we ended up using force.
My name is Kenzi Argent; I have a twin brother named Caleb, and a younger brother named Corey. We come from a long ancestral line of werewolves, and an equally long line of successful businessmen and women. Most of the world isn't aware of the world of supernatural creatures, and no one is aware that the current owners and CEO's of the world's largest mining conglomerate are full blooded and blue blooded werewolves. Every child with the Argent bloodline has become werewolves, and we stick together, or we used to until some hunter kill many of our cousins and even our parents. Somehow they figured out that our father was an alpha werewolf and hunted us down. Our family has always vowed to live in harmony with humans, we don't have a taste for human meat anyways, but there are some packs that think humans should be controlled or eliminated because we are the evolved species. We have never hurt a human in centuries until that hunter killed our parents. Our father was the alpha of the Argent pack and when he died the alpha status went to me, the eldest only by 5 minutes but hey, I don't make the supernatural rules. When the alpha power began surging through my blood I made a vow to find that hunter and get revenge for my family. I was only 14 at the time, I was barely learning how to control everything that was happening to my body, even pre-werewolf, but when someone threatens your family you embrace the power or you get killed. 4 days after my parent's death I found the hunter and I settled my vengeance. The man said his daughter was bit by a werewolf and ended up killing her mother on her first full moon; the man ended up kill his daughter and vowed to kill all the wolves in the area to seek out the alpha that bit his daughter. I don't know who that werewolf is, but neither will that hunter because he started with the wrong family. Most alpha's meet on the nights before full moons to assure that no one does anything stupid like biting teenage girls and turning them into murders, but a few slip through the cracks. Most of the families that we know that are wolves too choose not to procreate by bites, but instead keep a bloodline and breed, some rouge packs want to cause chaos and destruction and bite anyone they can lure into their dens. Being a born wolf is easier, or so I've heard, we slowly grow into the abilities, increased sense of smell, great vision, and we can hear 50 times better than a human. Eventually we start getting stronger and faster, we learn to control our strength and when to use it. Soon after comes the change in eye color and the growth of claws and fangs, bright yellow is most common it the color of a beta, red is the color of an alpha- the color of my wolf eyes, and your beta eye color changes if you kill someone. They say the color changes because it's the most painful thing a soul can endure and it leaves a mark. If am to ever lose my alpha status my eyes will turn to blue. The final phase is to actually phase, changing into a full wolf. As sad as it is to admit it Twilight isn't completely off on what werewolves really look like. Essentially we are extremely large wolves, standing a little over 6 feet tall from ears to paws, and almost equally as long from tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. We run faster than the average car and the strength equal to Superman in full wolf form. Killing us is no easy task; the hunter did some deep research before coming after us. We can only be killed by a bullet or weapon soaked in the blood of a virgin (born again is acceptable) on the night of a full moon under a mountain ash tree. Good like finding a virgin this day and age! The hunter said that it took him a month to hunt down his daughter so he could end her of the "curse" and then he came after us. Shooting at us with normal bullets will wound us but not for long, we have rapid healing abilities a bullet wound my take 10 minutes to heal and you better be long gone by then or you have a pissed of werewolf to fight off. Cuts heal in a matter of seconds, and burns are a little worse a few hours or days depending of the severity, but no one uses burning sticks anymore. Now where you're injured by another wolf that a different story, I once got in a turf war with another alpha and it took me a week to heal a bite to the side. I don't want to brag but I broke a few of his ribs and heard he was out for a month but cause the bone wasn't healing straight, plus I won the turf war anyways. Now bitten wolves suddenly have everything happen to them within days, take everything you've done all year and force into a 2 day time frame, it would painful and exhausting.
"Look its working, the claws has retracted and the teeth are put away, just the glowing yellow eyes. Good, let's stop, we have a big day anyways." Caleb said visibly relaxing.
Caleb was right we did have a lot planned today, Corey was going to be attending the Duelist Academy for his freshman year and we are dropping him off tomorrow.
"I'll pay the poor fairy and we'll get started with our plans." I said and walked to the woman. My brothers headed up the stairs back to the main house.
She tried to move away from me but it didn't work being tied up an all. I place a hand gently on her arm and used my canine ability to take pain and anxiety away. The veins in my arms turn black as I took the pain she was feeling away to help her relax. When she stopped stirring I spoke.
"I told you we weren't going to hurt you and I held up my end, now you must hold your end and not tell what happened here today. I'll double the money if you don't panic when I take off your restraints. I will know if you tell, and I will come find you." I said with ice in my voice and knelt down to undo the ropes, and removed the duct tape from her lips. She held her promise and stayed calm and undid the vines that bound her hands and kept her from using any of her fairy magic. "Thank you, you are free to go, the money is in that bag, cash as promised and the door is up the stairs and to the left. There is a car waiting for you to take you were ever you need." I said and stepped away to let her stand.
She stood and began rubbing her wrists where the vines had been, "I've dealt with a lot of werewolves in my many years on this earth, many of your ancestors even, but none have been as scary and kind as you and your siblings. I don't get surprised by people anymore, but you my young wolf have surprised me. I was fully expecting to die today, and you are letting me walk away and trust me not to tell of what has happened. I will remember this kindness Argent."
"I was raised not to harm those who have done no harm to me. Our family has been around for as long as the humans and we have raised our young not to kill unnecessarily and keep our promises." I replied.
The fairy woman nodded and walked past me to grab her bags and the money she was promised. Before walking up the stairs she turned back to look at me more time before a bright aura surrounded her and the room filled with light and she was gone. I stood for a moment to let my eyes focus to the darkness I was in and went to back upstairs to meet with my siblings.
"She must be gone, I can't smell her anymore." Corey said with a sigh of relief.
"She's gone and she has her money, hopefully we won't see her again. You did good today kid, you'll be fine at school, I have faith in you." I said to Corey and smiled warmly.
"Yeah bro, I think we've taught you everything we can to control your inner wolf, it's time for you to go off on your own for a while." Caleb exclaimed and put an around Corey.
We all laughed together and enjoyed the family moment we were having. Corey was 5 when our parents died and he doesn't have too many memories of them, we were left to raise him and teach him how to be a proper werewolf and how to control everything. Now his 14 and me and Caleb are 23, we try to be siblings before parents, but sometimes it doesn't work that way, so we enjoy what sibling moments we get.
"Come let's go get an early lunch and we can head to Kaiba Land after, I have an arena reserved at 1:30PM, I got to make sure this kid is ready to be the next king of games." Caleb exclaimed while elbowing Corey.
"I had a car pulled around and waiting, but I swear if I find a crumb on my floor you two are buying me a new Cadillac Escalade!" I threatened.
"Seriously I can't control crumbs! How many cars do you own anyways why are you so anal about the condition of every single one!" Corey whined and we walked to the door.
"Because those are my babies and I love my entire car collection, all 300 plus of them. Thank you very much." I said smugly.
Corey and Caleb both rolled their eyes and walked outside to get in the car. Caleb climbed in the back and Corey sat shotgun while I hopped up in the driver's seat, my rightful seat because I drive everywhere and all the time. We started down the long and beautifully landscaped scape drive away and our house getting smaller in the rearview mirror. Even though me and Caleb are old enough to live alone we thought it would be best to all live together while Corey finishes school. It just keeps the family feel in our lives and none of us are away for that to go away. Our house isn't definitely not a house, it's like 3 mansion put together. We have way too much space for 3 people, but we buy the best of the best because we have the money to do so. We live out in the country so we have privacy and no one can get past the gates.
"Well Core, what's for lunch? It's our last day with you so it's whatever you want." I asked
"Hmm, well, I guess I could go for some good sushi."
I smiled, sushi is my favorite, and Caleb however let out a moan of displeasure.
"Sushi it is. Nobu?" I asked with a laugh at Caleb's reaction.
"Definitely Nobu. I'll call and let them know we want our usual table." Corey said pulling out his iPhone.
"I honestly don't see how we are all related; we have completely different tastes in food." Caleb complained from the back seat.
"No Caleb, you have a different taste in food. I and Corey have the same taste in food. You're just sad that the fairy is long gone." I said glaring at him through the rear view mirror.
"I can't help it if our primal source of food was fairy, but no I don't want to eat her, why can't we eat normal food like cheeseburgers or pizza?" complained Caleb.
"Can you two keep the supernatural talk to a minimum? I'm on the phone!" Corey hissed
I just laughed and turned on to the main highway heading downtown. The rest of the ride was filled with talk about duel monsters and strategies; I just let the boys talk and focused on the road. We pulled into the Nobu parking lot and were met by the flashes of cameras by the paparazzi. Domino doesn't have movie stars or singers, but we do have some of the most powerful businesses in the world located here so we get our pictures put in business tabloids. Being a family who grew up with no parents and we are just as successful we don't get to live very private lives outside of our estate. We're like the Kardashian's but a million times better, and more interesting. We climbed out of the car and ignored all the comments, questions, and flashes and walked inside. We were met by a familiar face, the owner of the restaurant, and he escorted us to our usual table. He likes us because we come here and order a few grand worth of sushi; we like him because he is always nice to us and treats us good. We sat down and began our order, it's not hard, we pretty much try everything on the menu that is fresh, or what the chef declares best. Everything comes in two's, two pieces of uni, two pieces of toro, etc. We pay good money for the best fish we can get. We didn't wait long for our first round of fish to come, and Caleb's plate and dug in. An hour later we practically waddled out the door and back in the car.
"I hope they have great food like this at the Academy, I'm going to miss Nobu while I'm gone." Corey said while rubbing his stomach.
"It's not like you don't have a sister who will be visiting who can bring you some." I laughed and started to drive away.
"I knew you loved me." Corey smiled
"I hate both of you." Caleb groaned and sprawled out on the backseat.
"Shut up, you like their food even if you refuse to try the sushi." I retorted. "Alright our reservation for the arena at Kaiba Land will be good in an hour and a half. Do you want to go early and walk off all that food we just ate? Or does anyone have any idea on what to do instead?"
"No let's go early; we haven't walked around the park in a while. Maybe we can catch a few duels or ride some rides?" Corey answered. "I'd like to check out the card shop too, see if Mr. Moto has got anything new."
"Sounds good to me, stop by the game shop first then its closer. Remember that time we went on the Blue Eye's Roller Coaster and Caleb threw up the corn dog all over that chick he was flirting with in line?" I laughed.
"I was not flirting with her! And it wasn't a corn dog, it was a chili dog, and it was super embarrassing." Caleb yelled. We just laughed and talked about the fun times we had at the amusement park.
