It was finally summer break. School was officially over! Even though I hadn't been within a mile of my school building for a month or more. I rather didn't enjoy being hunted on a daily biases. Here let's start from the beginning.
~ 1 month ago
"Ugg, Chelsa I'm so tired of Derrick! He was"
"Oh my god the new guy is so sexy." My friend Chelsa Rondue said. When I turned around from what I was getting out of my locker, I saw who she was staring at. I had to admit, he had the right look. With honey hazle eyes and shoulder length brown hair. But something about him was off, he seemed different. And not in a good way; a shiver went down my spine as he turned toward me and our eyes met.
"Oh my god! He is totally checking you out!" She squealed as the guy looked me up and down. The way his eyes seemed to look more through me then at me gave me the creeps. Soon enough he was walking over, and something inside of me was screaming at my legs to run for their lives.
"Hey" He said flipping his brunet hair across his forehead and out of his eyes. "I'm Chase. I couldn't help but notice you looking my way." He said, adding a smile that seemed all too bright. When I looked up at his eyes, I could tell he was wearing a contact but only one in his left eye to cover up what looked like blue.
"Umm yeah you're new, welcome to school. I'm Keirin Larson." I said stretching out my hand to shake. When I said my name he got a weird look on his face.
"Hey can we talk somewhere more quite? Let's go to the library." Chase said, taking my hand and pulling me after him. When we reached the library the lights were dimmed and it made the place look more like a murder scene then a library.
"I've been watching you Keirin." He said stepping into the darkness of the library, leaving me just inside of the door way. "You don't know why, do you?" As he said this, the door behind me slammed close and I could hear the lock click. He let out a cold laugh, his voice changing becoming lower, and seemingly older. When he stepped closer I could see that something had changed. He was no longer Chase; he had the body of a lion and the head of a man with teeth like a shark. And he was moving closer his hot breath searing my legs now. "Mmmmmm… I can taste it now. Demi-god, underworld flavor." He hissed at me, licking his lips.
As I backed up I ran into something hard and lost my balance. Before I could hit the ground and become demon-cat chow an arm reached out and caught me, pulling me up against his chest. "You lost the last ones you tried to catch. Remember me?" The unknown voice shouted at the thing Chase had turned into. It was low and smooth with confidence but I didn't find it attractive. It was shockingly familiar.
"What you? Oh I wasn't hungry then; it was just a job. Now it's a meal!" He said leaping towards us. He had a light in his eyes that told me he wasn't lying about wanting to eat us. "Now you don't have that pesky little goddess to save you tails!" He said as arrows flashed past my head and into the wall behind me. If we hadn't been in a life or death situation I probably would have found what he'd said odd, but right then I just wanted to live.
"Okay I'm gonna get you out of here but you gotta trust me okay?" He whispered in my ear while at the same time trying to duck from the arrows whizzing toward us from nowhere. They kept coming always missing us by just an inch or less. I was wondering when he was going to end the game and just get to killing us.
"Just get me away from that thing!" I yelled. And then I heard wind and saw only darkness surround me.
