CHAPTER 1
"Damnit." I watched as Jacob swiftly walked through the crowd. "He's getting away!" I shouted as he disappeared from view. "Find him and shoot him down! Make sure the humans don't see ANYTHING!" They dispersed as I went to look. I turned down an alley, nothing. Another alley. Nothing. Then I turned a corner and there was a sewer gate open. "There you are."
The sewer was dark and cold and smelled like regular sewers. Shit. Despite the smell and even though I knew what I was walking through I continued down the tunnel. Why would he go down here and what was he up to? Further down the tunnel there was a light coming from the ceiling. I moved toward it and then noticed it was another open sewer gate. I was climbing the ladder when I heard gunshots, they found him. I jumped through the hole as bullets flew past my head. I ran for cover and ducked behind a news stand. We were in a subway. There was people all around some dead some fleeing for their lives. There a man bent over in a corner helping a shot women. Then one of Nathan's followers bent over and bit him. The man screamed as blood rolled down his neck. Then grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away. He looked familiar. He was the man that was in front of Nathan in the crowd! He wasn't looking for someone he was following someone!
He dragged him away. I had to stop him. I ran out in the middle of the crossfire and chased them. They boarded the stopped subway train. I stepped in and as they were about to jump out the back he turned and shot a single shot at me. I dodged it and ran toward him. He fired several shots but I dodged them all. I ran and tackled them through the window. We hit the ground hard. He kicked me off. I got up and noticed that he had dropped his gun and ripped off his coat. His jaw stretched out, he grew fur, his nails turned to sharp claws, and his canines grew out over his lips. He lunged at me teeth bared and knocked me to the ground. He was trying to bite me. I grabbed his neck and twisted it until it snapped. The body fell limp over me. I pulled it off and looked over at where the man had fallen. He was gone. "Shit." I mumbled. I heard footsteps coming from the subway. I ran down the tracks to try and find this man. I heard him running but it was too dark to see. I heard running, I ran even faster until I could just see him. I pulled out my gun and aim toward his leg. I shot and got him right below the knee. He fell to the ground with a thud. I walked over him, and grabbed him by his hair; "What did they want with you!" He said nothing and spit in my face. I kicked him in his stomach; "What the hell do they want with you! Tell me!" "I don't know! The dude just grabbed me and bit me!" The man yelled. "what's your name." I asked. "why should I tell you!" "if you value your life you will!" "Zach, ,my name is Zach."
The Ferrari was still parked by the church. "Get in." we got in and took off. "So you have no idea what they want with you." "No. But I would like to know what the hell is going on!" he shouted. "There is no need to shout. If you would like to shout I could drop you off here and you shout all you want and attract the Lykens. Which would you prefer?" He sat back and sighed. "Now that you are in this you deserve to kn…" "What is a Lyken?" he asked. "a Lyken as you would call is a werewolf." The expression on his face changed dramatically. "Now then you are stuck in war, a blood feud, between Vampires and Lykens. It has been raging for centuries. And for some reason they want you." I explained the whole history to him.
