I'm back everyone! Here is the final book!
Warning: I will have VERY VERY late updates for this, since school is at its peak of being busy!
Please enjoy!
P.S: I have done the first three chapters in advance to this, so they will be updated probably hours apart.
…
Chapter 1
People rushed out of Coney Island, each wanting to get home and out of the harsh winter breeze. No one noticed the gigantic dog-like creature that seemed to stay behind. It watched from the shadows as the humans left, before moving into the eerie light that the moon provided.
The moonlight reflected off the Death-Wolf's red fur, as she emerged carefully under the cover of darkness. She looked around, waiting to see if any humans remained, before darting out into the open.
All of a sudden, her ears pricked, picking up human voices and footsteps. Leaping into a darkened space, she concealed herself from the two Coney Island employees that passed. As soon as they were out of the sight, the half-breed looked to see exactly what her hiding location was.
The dolphin exhibit.
Smiling, she ducked inside the exhibit entrance. This turned out okay. I can see the dolphins. Walking inside, she ran directly towards the tank, before warily looking around to see if anyone was watching. Sighting no one, the hybrid quickly phased into her human form.
Faith brushed a strand of hair from her eyes, and fell against the dolphin tank with a sigh. It had been six months since she had run away from her friends. Six months that had felt like six years. With nowhere to go, the hybrid had travelled to different places, settling nowhere in particular.
The tranquilness of her location allowed her to think, and simply listen to the soft slapping of the small waves in the open dolphin tank. I still can't believe Mina did that. She killed my Mum. Worst of all, she got mad at me for killing her Mum and not telling her, when she did exactly the same thing! But I did it for her own protection, and she did it for…for bloodlust!
All of a sudden, a smooth, sly male voice asked, "Contemplating life, hybrid?"
Whirling behind her, she demanded with a snarl, "Who said that? How do you know about me?"
A dolphin swam towards her from the tank, lifting its head from the water. Faith gasped, taken aback by the sight of the metal contraption around its eye. She whispered, "Oh my God, who did that to you?"
"The humans" he answered, bitterness coating every syllable.
The half-breed stepped backwards. He…he just talked. Running a hand through her hair, she sighed once more, "Well, it's not the weirdest thing I've seen" she muttered. Cautiously, the girl approached the tank once again, "O-Okay. How do you know about me? How much do you know?" she questioned.
The dolphin chuckled, "More then I can tell you at the moment. I'm afraid I'm going to have to get you somewhere more…private" he answered, a menacing grin spreading across his face.
Faith growled, tensing instinctively, "Where?"
He answered in a low, dark tone, "My lair."
Before the hybrid could make a reply, she was surrounded by lobsters, each snapping their claws to appear more intimidating. The girl scoffed, "Suckers" she said. Swiftly, she phased into her Death-Wolf form, causing the lobsters to attack. She quickly closed her jaw around one of them, feeling it crush between her teeth.
Tossing the dead lobster away, she turned to the others. Faith swiped at them with her claws and bit down as hard as possible on a few that she caught. Each of them was killed in seconds.
Turning, exhausted, to the malevolent dolphin in the tank, Faith smirked. The dolphin, however, did not look afraid. Instead, he smiled wickedly, "Don't look so smug yet, hybrid" he warned.
Before she could ask, Faith was shot with something in the back of her neck. Suddenly feeling very lightheaded, the girl quickly felt as though the ground was shaking beneath her, before she collapsed.
She had no idea how much time had passed when she awoke. Faith's first conscious feeling was that of cold metal underneath her body. Her…human body. Momentarily confused, she sat up. However, her bafflement only lasted a short time. Oh, I forgot. I always automatically go into my human form when I pass out.
But, her confusion was quickly replaced by fear. Before her, Faith saw a large, clearly underground lair, with large, terrifying looking lobsters guarding every exit, and she could sense some of them around her, although they were out of sight. Guards. To make sure I don't try to do anything.
All of a sudden, a familiar voice came from in front of her, "Comfortable?" he asked mockingly.
Recognising the voice, she snarled, glowering, "Hardly. Why am I here?" she snapped.
The dolphin who had captured her, entered the room on a scooter. If the circumstances would have been different, Faith would have burst out laughing at the sight.
The strange dolphin smiled as he approached her, stopping his scooter before her. Leaning down to meet the girl's eyes, he said, suddenly being kind, "We have a lot in common, you and I. We're both considered freaks by the humans." Sensing her hostility, he rode away from her, and continued, glancing her way, "We've also both been betrayed by people we thought we knew. Your little vampire friend, for example."
Faith stiffened, "How do you know about that?" she hissed.
The dolphin laughed, "Like I said, I know more then I can reveal…yet" he answered.
The half-breed sneered, "Who are you? Why in hell am I here?"
He replied with a sigh, "First of all, you really much watch your language. Secondly," he paused, "My name is Dr. Blowhole."
