Clash of the Nycthemeron Creatures
Alarm rings…
''Alan! Alan, honey it's time for school. Get up!''
''Ugh mom just a few more minutes please.''
Alan hides himself in the bed sheets thinking he won't be found
''Oh God what am I doing…''
He gets out of his bed and grabs his clothes as quickly as possible so he has some time left to lay on his bed before leaving.
''Freaking school… at least I'll get to hang out with Josh and Alex… even though I do that after school as well.'' he mumbles to himself
Alan goes straight to the bathroom (nature calls) to brush his teeth
When he gets in he turns around to close the door. As he turns around, he hits something with his elbow and doesn't see it. He randomly stretches hid hand on his left, and feels something heavy dropping on his hand. Then he quickly folds it, and unaware of what happened he lifts his hand and looks at what he caught. It's his precious cologne, he'd go mad if that actually broke.
''Phew, this was sorta weird but I saved it.'' he thinks to himself
Alan thinks that he is wasting time so he quickly grabs his toothbrush and looks in the mirror. But what he notices stops him. His eyes are bright yellow. Alan quickly rubs his eyes out of fear and looks again. The yellow eyes are gone and all he sees is his dark brown eyes.
Relieved that there was nothing wrong with him, he puts his clothes on and exits his room, going to the balcony to find his shoes but instead he freezes, looking at something. It's Ashley, the beautiful brown haired and blue eyed girl he has had a crush on since 4th grade and it's been 6 years since he has been hiding from her.
Now it's time for him to start talking to her and take it slowly, then ask her out. Alan waited for 6 year so a little more patience wont kill him, unless it doesn't work.
Alan shakes his head and puts his shoes on.
After breakfast and after saying goodbye to his parents, he goes to school.
He's outside, surprised that the bus hasn't arrived yet. He gets his phone out of his pocket and looks at the time. Alan realizes it's quite early, so he goes back inside and lays on his bed for a while.
Alan's home is quite far away from his school, which is good that he can take the bus every time he goes there.
As Alan is laying down on his bed, he hears his ringtone
'
''Josh is calling…
slide to answer''
Alan, picks his phone up slightly surprised. Josh is much of a sleeping guy, would he really wake up this quickly?
''Hello? Josh?'' he says
''What the heck, Alan? Why aren't you at school? Mr. Coleman says that if you won't be at school in five minutes you will get lower grades, possibly enough for you to drop class. Sorry, he won't let me talk to you more, getting my phone in class and calling you is already enough, so be here in 5 minutes, bye and good luck bro.'' Josh hangs up
Alan confused and freaked out leaves his phone on his bed and starts running. Surprisingly, he got out of his house in possibly less than a second.
Then he went out on the road, thankfully there was no traffic so he could run freely for as long as he wanted, well, almost.
''How the hell am I supposed to go to school in 5 minutes without a bus? My house is almost 8 KM away from my house!'' he thinks to himself as he is running
Surprisingly, he actually reached his school in LESS than 5 minutes. The time Mr. Coleman should've given him is a few seconds less than two minutes. That's basically almost 4 kilometers per minute. And he was RUNNING.
Alan runs into his class, thinking that probably an hour has passed and was hopeless, but when he walks in the whole class looks at him in shock, including the teacher.
''I'm sorry Mr. Coleman, I know it has been definitely more than 5 minutes but there was no bus and I had to run all the way here! You do know my house is almost 8 kilometers away from this school right?! Please let me in!''
Mr. Coleman, the strict teacher, while still looking at him in shock, he responds
''Take a seat… Alan… I don't know if you have forgotten how to count… but. This is absolutely crazy. How? It's only been two minutes since your friend called!'' he says in a low tone, except his last sentence
''What? What are you talking about I feel like it's been more than an hour!'' Alan asks in shock as well
''Well, you miscounted? I guess…? Now, Alan. Take a seat, because those 5 minutes will run out soon.''
His classmates still looking at him in shock as he is walking towards his seat, even his best friend Alex.
''Okay, now that Alan finally took a seat, let's continue our English lesson.'' says Mr. Coleman and continues his lesson right after, hoping that there wont be any more surprising interruptions
''Dude what the hell was that? Two minutes? Did you become freakin' sonic while you were on your way here?'' says Alex confused looking at Alan, with his bright emerald green eyes
''I honestly do not know, this day has been very weird since I woke up. I cannot explain anything.''
''Okay, hear me out though! Ashley is gonna be on our Science class. By the way did you think of talking to her? I believe you should, you might have a chance with her.'' says Alex
''Honestly, I am going to talk to her, but I've literally got no absolute idea of what to tell her, I mean people usually start with introducing themselves but this isn't just any usual person I am going to be talking to. This is ASHLEY, the girl I've been crushing on for so many years, it's not gonna be that easy.''
''Well, act like she is someone else, maybe someone new in class that you want to be friends with, just imagine it. says Alex
''Alan, Alex, maybe you want to take your conversation out of the school, with a little something called suspension?''
''No… no sir'' says Alan
''Very well, let's continue''
Alan sighs and finally starts paying attention to Mr. Coleman.
A few boring hours later…
''Ah, finally this day is also done, a few more months and we're outta here!'' says Josh with excitement
''Yeah but, what about the exams, aren't you going to study?'' says Alex
''No, idiot, I've got a better way, something that will definitely work out for both of us. I'll shove the books up your-'' answers Josh sarcastically but gets interrupted by Alan before he said a little bit too much
''That's enough guys.''
''Yeah, we will all study together if you want to'' says Alex
''Yeah Alex, three friends that have similar interests, which aren't books or anything about reading or studying could actually manage to study for exams AND PASS. What else can we do, get an Oscar?'' says Josh with a little bit of anger behind his usual sarcasm''
''You know, I'm sick and tired of your aggression towards me, what's your problem?'' says Alex angrily as he stops walking
''You are my problem, you know you are always…'' Alex and Josh started arguing until…
''Hi there, nerds''
Oh no, it's the bully of the school, Eddie. He's a chubby one, but a very strong one as well, probably because of his weight, but instead of using it for good, he does the exact opposite.
''Give me your wallets, I'm hungry and I haven't got any money.'' he says, after stretching his hand, very sure that they will actually do it
''Hm… how about… no?'' says Josh
Eddie, surprised, reacts angrily by pushing Josh, causing him to fall
''Okay, now give me your wallets, nerds. You have no power against me.''
Alan helps Josh up
''We don't want any trouble with anyone, now please, back off, and go make yourself some money or ask your parents to give you some.'' says Alan calmly
Eddie laughs at that, and punches Alan. Alex backs off a little bit.
Alan gets up angrily and punches him back so powerfully that Eddie actually falls and faints.
Now Eddie is unconscious but Alan wont leave him alone. He is still punching him, while on the ground. Eddie is bleeding, cannot feel anything because hasn't woken up yet, but Alan cannot control himself.
Josh runs towards Alan trying to stop him but Alan pushes him back. Josh saw something that freaked him out. Bright yellow eyes and fangs, hair growing on random parts of Alan's face and his ears becoming sharper than any human ear. His face is very different now, and Josh is hearing some sort of animal growing, possibly a dog's or a wolf's.
''Dude, you gotta leave now. You don't want to see this. I'm going to help him, just go! NOW!'' he yells at Alex, and he listens.
Alex starts running outside of the school, probably to his home.
''Alan! You gotta snap out of this dude! COME ON! It's over! We're okay, and he won't do anything, he's unconscious! ALAN! STOP!''
Alan just ignores him and keeps punching Eddie with no hesitation, his face still the same.
Josh instantly comes up with an idea.
There's a puddle of water right next to Alan and Eddie, if Alan looked at his reflection, maybe something would change.
''Okay… how do I do this'' Josh thinks to himself
He could've done better with the thinking but I guess this might work too.
Josh runs towards Alan from a long distance and tries to turn his head towards the puddle, but…
''Oh… sh-'' Alan punches Josh in the face, and then turns back to Eddie
''Well, that didn't work'' he whispers
Now he has another idea… probably better than the previous one… or not
Josh goes right next to the puddle and punches Alan in the face, which kinda hurt his hand but… it worked
Alan turns to Josh's way and before doing anything about the punch, he notices his reflection in the puddle and freezes with his fist clenched in the air, ready to punch Eddie again
His face starts turning to the face he had the first time. Josh, relieved gets closer to Alan
''You okay buddy?''
After a moment of silence, Alan answers
''I don't think I should be the one to be asked if I'm okay...''
Josh looks at Eddie, and notices his face is full of blood. Several teeth taken out of his mouth and his nose is broken. Both his eyes are black, still unconscious. Josh quickly checks Eddie's pulse… which is getting slower every second.
''ALAN! HE'S DYING! YOU NEED TO HELP ME OUT! WE GOTTA DO THE CPR, LIFT HIS LEGS UP!''
''Josh, I don't think that's how it works...'' says Alan
''JUST DO IT DAMMIT!'' he answers quickly
Alan quickly lifts Eddie's legs up and Josh pushes him on his chest with both of his hands
''Come on… You can take this much''
''I can't believe I have actually done this'' says Alan, with tears crawling down his cheeks while holding Eddie's legs
After a few tries, the pushing became stronger, and the pulse started rising to its normal speed
Eddie opened his eyes
''I am sorry dude, I know it's not enough, but here's the money you wanted. Take care buddy'' says Josh as he lifts him up with Alan's help and gives him some money
''Go to the nurse inside, she's still here''
Alan and Josh started running, leaving the school's ground
''I have to tell my parents about this. I have to. Where did Alex go?''
''I told him to run, I knew it wasn't going to be safe''
''Thanks for everything Josh, I owe you, big time.''
''No problem… just try not to kill anyone again… OH and, don't punch me ever again, it hurt a lot.''
''I'll sort this out and I promise you nothing similar to that will happen''
Alan started walking towards his house, but he stopped when he hard Josh calling his name
''What is it, Josh?''
''I have to tell you something. I saw you when you were punching Eddie… Your face was full of hair, and you had FANGS, yes you heard me well, FANGS. Your eyes were yellow, your nose was wider and you're ears were sharper than a knife. Oh and you also had CLAWS, yeah, I'm not joking. You've surely got a lot to sort out.''
''I had yellow eyes this morning… this is terrible, my parents are going to think I'm crazy.''
''Well, I mean if you want help… ''
''What are you trying to say…?''
''I mean, I can help''
''Really? That would be great, Josh! I really need help''
''Well then, let's go home''
Alan and Josh take the street bus to Alan's house. They arrive in about 30 minutes, it is much slower than the school bus though.
''Okay. Let's do this'' says Alan
They walk in the house to find Alan's parents laughing while watching a movie. They quickly turn around and notice both of them
''Alan! How was school honey? Oh hello Josh!'' says Alan's mother
''Is that blood on your arms?!'' asks Alan's dad shocked
''Yeah… we've got a lot to explain… and we're not crazy.'' says Josh
After an hour of explaining, they're finally done
''… So that's all that happened. Please don't say I'm crazy, there is surely an explanation for this!'' says Alan
''You're not going to tell anyone about this, Alan. Neither will you, Josh. Both of you promise, now.'' says Alan's father
They both promise
''This runs in the family. Son, you're a werewolf. I know how it sounds but it doesn't matter, Josh saw you. And we're very sorry for not warning you, it starts from the age of 16… and you are 16.''
''Wait… so I am a werewolf… and you're both werewolves too?'' says Alan shocked
''Yes honey...''
''Wait now I am surrounded by three werewolves?'' says Josh
''You've got a lot to learn, Alan'' says Alan's mother
''Okay, thank you, for the explanation, but I want to take a walk to clear my mind, after I'm back, PLEASE, teach me how to manage this.'' says Alan
''Okay, son, of course.''
Alan goes out and Josh follows him so he doesn't do anything stupid.
After an hour, Josh went home and Alan is right next to it…
Alan's got the keys for the house so he doesn't need to ring the bell.
As soon as he opens the door, there are blood stains, on the walls, and the second thing that catches his sight is a piece of paper, glued on the fridge. Alan calls out for his parents but no one answers. He gets closer to the note and takes a look at it.
''Better choose a side, or death is awaiting you and your parents.''
