Chapter One- Bloodlust

Even with all the pain he's been through in his life time, it was nothing compared to agony he was in now. All he could do was stare up at the night sky and gasp for air as blood continually made its way up out of his mouth. He couldn't even hear him sobbing next to him, with the ringing in his ears. The man pulled Alex closer to him, he could now hear that he's been mumbling the whole time.

"I'm so sorry, Thomas whispered into his ear.

Alex took a deep sigh as he wiped the blood from his knife. "well that one less creature roaming this world." He paused, turned giving the beast a hard kick, he always did have a bad habit of getting cocky about killing a creature, just to realize that it was still alive. It remained still, reassuring Alex. He scrunched his face hoping to block the stench of the werewolf's corpse. "These mutts never smell any better, even when dead they're disgusting."

"Has it ever occurred to you that the wolves are getting so aggressive because of you and your people?" a soft voice questioned.

Alex tucked his knife away as he looked up to see a pale, thin, black haired girl sitting up in a tree. "Hello Elizabeth," he greeted.

Eliza sighed, she swung her body off the tree. Landing and walked over fixing up Alexander's outfit. "At the rate, you little hunters are working, you are going to wipe out the werewolves."

"We had an agreement," Alex said coldly

Eliza glared as she pulled at the strings on his poncho causing Alex to give out a small gasp. "My sisters and I agreed to let you hunters control the werewolves, not kill them into extinction."

Eliza stepped back allowing Alex to fix his poncho. "You girls agreed because the werewolves were causing multiple species of animals to go extinct. And now they've grown a taste for humans." Alex replied.

Eliza shrugged "Hunters, wolves, you both have a disgusting taste for the other creatures' blood." Alex's responds were silence. "Alright Alexander, I'm just going to leave you with this warning, if all you taste is the blood of the creatures you hate, you may become the same if not worse than them."

"What?" Alex questioned. Eliza chuckled walking up to Alex, she pulled his hood up, she smiled then quickly kissed Alex on the cheek, then turned and walked away.

"Damn forest nymphs," Alex mumbled, his began to fix his hood stopping when the stench of the corpse reached his nose again. "Uck, damn stinky mutt. I'm leaving you here!" He spat, "leave it as a warning for your friends, or a feast for the other animals and creature." Alex chuckled to himself unaware of the creature watching him from afar.

"You're back!" a young boy shouted as he ran up to Alex as he entered the village.

"Hello Phillip," Alex greeted as he rubbed curly brown hair his hair.

"How did it go; did you get that dirty mutt?" Phillip questioned.

"Of course!" Alex exclaimed, "did you forget who you were talking to!"

Philip laughed, "man I can't wait until I can out and show those creatures what I can do!"

Alex couldn't help but smile, "eventually but, now you're too young to even leave the village."

Philip sigh, "yeah I know."

Alex gave a soft smile as he pat Philip on the back, "you should go back, you can't become a hunter if you don't train." Philip looked up at Alex giving him a wide smile before running off. Alex smiled until Philip was out of sight letting him drop the smile, sighing before continued walking through out the village.

Alex remember stories he heard as a child about how human use to rule the land, but steadily and over time different creatures that were once to have thought to had been just legends started to emerge. The humans feared them and began to try to kill them. However, it was made clear that the creatures were much stronger and killed off hundreds of humans until the remaining fled off. All the remaining humans now live in a hidden remote village with the nearest forest miles away. It wasn't until decades later that the hunters were finally formed. An army of elite hunters to take down the bastards that nearly wiped out humans.

However, the agreement with the forest nymphs happens not that long ago. The three sisters, Angelica, Elizabeth, and Peggy began to worry as some of the more savage creature began to hunt some species of animal into extinction. They agreed to that if the hunters help regulate the population of the animals, they will supply the humans with food from the forest.

Alex ran his fingers through his hair as he sat down on his bed. He paused as he heard a low rustle outside his tent. Alex slowly stood up from his bed. He twitched as he noticed a shadow creeping around his tent. Why would somebody be sneaking around his tent. Alex slowly walked out of his tent, gradually looking around. "Philip?" Alex called, the boy always tended to sneak to his tent. Alex held his breath as the wind was his only response. He gradually walked backwards into his tent, he paused before turning back around to be greeted by a dark brown wolf inside of his tent.

Alex gasped, he quickly turned around heading for the exit. He hit the ground as the wolf grabbed his leg by it's mouth, dragging him back into the tent. "Fuck," Alex sneered as he began to repeatedly kick the wolf in the chest. The thick furred wolf growled as it quickly flipped its body making Alex's leg twist until he heard a snap. Alex screamed to only chock as the wolf jumped onto his chest. Alex quickly grabbed the creatures head slamming it against his, causing the wolf to whine allowing Alex to push it off him. He quickly flipped over grabbing a small knife from under his bed. He turned back over just in time to see the wolf lunge at him. Alex quickly shoved the blade into the belly of the creature then pushing it away from him once again. The wolf lied stiff on the ground. Alex didn't hesitate as he attempted to stand up to only collapse back down. Alex grunt as he clawed his way out of the tent. He barely made it out of the tent before his body gave out. He couldn't even attempt to gather more strength before he was dragged back. He was flipped onto his back to see a tall dark man kneeling over him. The creature had large yellow eyes with thin black pilpuls. His large curly hair held a pair of matching wolf ears that twitched with his heavy breathing. It stood up tall, arching it's back. Alex gaged as he watched the knife shift within the creature's chest as it moved. The werewolf took a deep breath then pulled the knife out their chest. It grunted and gasped kneeling over. It took a deep breath as it sat back up lifting the knife over its head. In a last burst of energy Alex screamed as loud as he could attempt to punch and claw at the werewolf.

The wolf screamed baring it's fanged teeth, "you will pay for you sins!" The creature quickly shoved the blood-soaked knife into Alex's chest. Alex gasped his fingers twitch as he struggled to grab the knife the wolf held in his chest. His whole body began to shake as his vision began to blur. All he saw was the wolf grin before he choked up blood blinding him then he finally pasted out.
