Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the plot and my OCs.
Author's Note: Well, here's the new and improved remake. This first chapter is the same BUT it's improved and has different characteristics. This one has better planning I think. If you remember a lot from my old story, most of them changed from what you remember, you'll see.
Updated: Changed the italics to normal format and the chapter title.
Chapter One: The Savior
March 20, 1991, night
Closing the cupboard door, a teenager quickly steadied his breath and backed against the wall. He peered through the slits of the door at the traumatizing massacre before him. His father was seen shooting at the fuming vampire that was approaching him and his mother stood at the corner shaking with fear. The man continued blasting the creature as his hands were trembling at the thought of a vampire invading their home. The creature felt a bullet graze its upper shoulder and looked down at the wound but he didn't look like he was affected by it. The vampire hissed at the man and smacked the pistol out of his hand. He looked down at the gun alarmed by the creature's action and felt a clawed hand encircling his neck; he heard a nasty laugh from the vampire.
The teenager hiding inside the cupboard went a gap as he witnessed the vampire slashing his father's face. He felt blood spray through the slit of the door and closed his eyes in disgust knowing his face had splatters from them, he heard his mother's deafening scream. The teen opened his brown eyes in time seeing his father's lifeless body fall out of the monster's grip and felt his breath hitch in his throat.
The monster looked down at his pale, bloody hand and lifted it slowly towards his lips. He licked his fingers and eyed the trembling woman with the darkest sneer.
She huddled the corner while the man walked towards her; she gripped the wall. "No, please," She whimpered on the verge of crying and shivered as he stood before her. He smiled wickedly at her and raised a hand to caress her face. He lowered his hand to her neck and pricked it with a claw; small blood trickled out. She stood captivated by the man and he lowered his head towards her neck to suck in the blood. The teen glared as he watched the vampire.
The boy glanced over towards his father's lifeless body seeing the floor under him had puddles of blood and hugged his knees closer to his chest. Tears welled up in the teen's brown eyes and looked back over towards his pinned mother. The creature pulled away from the woman and let out a charming smile towards her. She did nothing but gave him a shaky smirk.
His hand encircled her throat.
Knowing his sobs were going to break out, the teenager covered his mouth to silent his cries. The vampire stopped as he heard the smallest whimper and glared in the teen's direction. "No... NO!" His mother begged and the monster slit her neck with his claws. The teenager tried to stifle more of his sobs and closed his eyes tightly when the beast walked towards the cupboard. The kid hugged his knees even tighter and felt a tear slither as he listened to see if the monster was either leaving or approaching him.
Shrinking back in the small space, the boy heard footsteps approaching the cupboard and jumped slightly when the creature ripped the doors off their hinges. The man yanked the teenager out of the cupboard roughly and lifted him before pinning the boy against the wall; he left specks of blood from the bloodshed. The creature glared darkly at him and the kid saw thirst within those dark eyes.
The teen turned his head away from the vampire's face and closed his eyes waiting for his demise.
The teenager suddenly got dropped to the ground. He winced when the wind was knocked out of him and opened his mouth to gasp for air. He lied there shuddering violently from his near death experience. The teen heard inhuman struggling and strangled growling near him. He sat up slowly to stare up at the vampire to see why it didn't kill him. He sat in shock as he saw a light brown werewolf on its back attacking the wailing vampire. The man was trying to shake the wolf off his back, making the strangled noise from the werewolf.
The boy crawled away cautiously and watched as the creatures battled each other. The vampire grabbed the wolf's shoulders and threw him out the window into the darkness. The walls and windows cracked by the collision. The vampire hissed and turned slowly towards the boy. The teenager gasped and covered his mouth seeing not a man but his true vampire form; the form that will forever haunt him. "Peter…" He called darkly and smirked as he stalked towards the boy. Peter crawled backwards while staring up at the menacing fiend. "I warned you to get your nose out from where it doesn't belong."
He quivered and shook his head in horror. The man unexpectedly screamed and hunched over making Peter see the wolf on his back once again. The vampire wailed out loudly and tackled the beast towards the wall. The werewolf used his might to turn the vampire around and roared dangerously at him. The beast's claws pinned the vampire's arms against the wall and snarled at the man. From their angle, the sixteen year old could see the wolf's back; it had parallel lines of silver fur trailing down its backside, the tail was long and bushy. The wolf was a tad bit smaller than the vampire; either for age or kind of species, none would know.
The creature hissed warningly and struggled to fight off the beast's strong grip.
The teenager finally contained himself to take the time to carefully stand up and shakily make his way towards the door. He heard the brown wolf's pained howl and then looked back seeing it getting slashed at its ribs, since that's the only thing the angered monster can reach. The werewolf glanced down at the wound and knew that would leave an ugly scar. He growled up at the vampire and scowled in hate.
Peter backed towards the door silently and stopped after stepping on a loud floorboard. The werewolf snapped its head towards the traumatized teenager and snarled as its eyes met his brown ones. The boy stared in awe at the werewolf's beautiful eyes; they were silver. He also like how there was a gray patch around its eyes.
The creature followed its gaze and glared at the boy seeing he was retreating. He wasn't going to let the teen off so easily. The monster let out an inhuman roar and used all his strength to fight from the wolf's grip. The teen shuddered seeing the werewolf's glare deepening and he growled as he bit down onto the vampire shoulder, injuring him.
Peter ran towards the door as he heard their cries echoing behind him. He made it out the front door safely and turned around to see his wrecked house. He slumped down in the dark street and kept his tearful eyes on the house. The teen cringed as he heard a distressed howl and saw the wolf tumbling out from the top window onto the hard ground.
He observed how the wounded wolf struggled to stand.
The werewolf put his hand on the wall and began to weakly clamber towards the broken window. The wolf let out a weak moan as he felt his claws giving out and weakly placed his left hand against the wood but winced as his muscles were starting to ache. Peter saw him fall towards the ground again and heard his frail groan when his back met the floor. The werewolf whimpered and rolled over on his stomach to hoist himself up. He limped out of the bushes and plunged towards the dirt once more. The wolf whimpered as he held himself up with an arm and grasped his bleeding side. The teen glanced up towards the window and saw the vampire glaring down at him as the man's shoulder was fixing itself. Peter looked over towards the werewolf and watched as he stared down at his hand seeing blood from his ribs.
The wolf's nose started twitching as he scented human flesh. He lifted his long snout and sniffed the air hungrily. His head followed the scent towards Peter and noticed the boy had been watching the whole time. He shivered seeing the werewolf limping towards him and then crawled away from the beast.
Freezing in horror, the boy closed his eyes as he felt the wolf hovering over him and it growled quietly at the teen. The werewolf's hand was perched beside his arm and its head leaned closer towards Peter's face. He sniffed the kid and let out an eager growl as he revealed his sharp teeth.
Peter opened his eyes and stared up at the beast.
After a few seconds, the werewolf stopped growling and tilted his head in curiosity. He saw the recognizable terror hidden inside the teen's eyes. The beast turned his head towards the house and groaned silently. The teen followed his gaze and practically faltered seeing his shattered house, lost in his horrible memory again. The kid and the brown werewolf looked away in unison.
Meeting each other's gaze.
Peter sworn he saw a tiny hint of grief within his gorgeous silver eyes. He even concluded that the werewolf looked a bit feminine, but he could be wrong.
The wolf leaned away from the teen and stared down at him. She scratched the back of her pointy ear and whined sadly looking towards the teen's house once again. The whine resembled a scolded dog. The werewolf grasped her side as she fully stood on her hind legs and growled as she weakly limped away to vanish in the shadows. The teenager sat almost hyperventilating and thought if that werewolf wasn't there, he would've been dead. He glanced towards the broken window to see the vampire was gone.
Feeling tears finally flooding out, he lied back and covered his face right before he wept piercingly. He doesn't care if anyone could hear him; he just wanted to let it all out. The werewolf turned from the streets and faced the weeping boy. She whimpered and tilted her head before walking away.
However, another figure watched him grieve.
A/N: Yeah most of it's similar but some stuff has been changed around as you could tell. Better ending for the first chapter, right? A little bit more ambiguous I think.
