Normally I would say something here but let's jump right into this.


"If I was you I would be begging for mercy for these arrows are silver headed arrow heads and as everybody knows silver is the werewolves greatest weakest."

"Look, I'm on your side, the thing that was attacking me that's the one you should kill."

"I'll get it in a minute, just hold still."

She released the arrow and sunk it into Bobby's chest just six inches away from his heart causing him great pain. When she went to reload her bow Bobby quickly yank the arrow out then shoved her down. Before he could run, she quickly got up and smacked his head with her bow.

"Come on, you think I was going down that easy?"

She swung the bow again but this time Bobby grabbed it with his jaw then pulled it from her hands and flung it down onto the street.

"In some ways I was hoping you wouldn't." Bobby growled

The crusader then began to fight him hand to hand; Bobby lacking the fighting skills was starting to his ass kicked when she delivered a powerful kick to his stomach forcing him on his knees with his left hand on his stomach. Then he heard the 9mm click, he looked up to see her pointing the gun at his head.

"You're pathetic for your kind," she said, "the last one I killed put up a much better fight."

"That's because he wasn't a class 4 like me." Bobby explained

The crusader chuckled.

"You think you being a class 4 makes you special, I beg to differ it just makes you more of a monster."

"I had about enough of you, now there's a real monster out there and the two of us are the only things that can stop it." Bobby informed

"It's like I said before, first you then your friend."

'That's it."

Bobby let out a huge growl before using his right hand to slash the upper part of her right arm.

"AAAAH!" she screamed as he dropped the gun that misfired and shot the ledge next to Bobby

With out a second thought he jumped off the roof and made a run back towards his house.

"I'll find you wolf, I swear my life on that." the crusader said

"SHE SHOT YOU WITH AN ARROW." Berry shouted the next day in Bobby's room

"Can you keep it down?" Bobby asked

Berry who was sitting at Bobby's desk got up.

"I mean not only were you getting your ass kicked by some monster but now there's this girl who is a like a "If Dean Winchester and Buffy Summers had a daughter and they sent her to be trained by Helen Magnus and Hawkeye." situation running around town."

"The bitch shot me with a silver headed arrow."

Bobby pulled down his shirt to reveal where he got shot.

"Dude there's nothing there."

Bobby looked down and indeed nothing there not even a scar.

"Wait a second," Bobby said as he went over and got his book then flipped to the bookmarked page, "says here that werewolves can super fast healing abilities."

"I knew that book would be useful," Berry joked "but what are we going to do."

"First I'm going to find that creature, rip its head off then I'm going to figure out who this girl is."

(Someone knocked at the door)

"Hey Bobby," they heard Hank's voice, "were having an emergency block meeting, please report to the living room."

"Can Berry come?" Bobby asked

"Sure."

The boys walked out of room and followed Hank out into the living room where they saw all there neighbors along with a couple of co-workers of Hank's from Strickland Propane.

"Bobby over here." a voice shouted

Bobby looked over to see Jade sitting on the floor next to her sisters.

"Do you have any idea what's this meeting is about?" Bobby asked as he and Berry sat down next to her

"No, I was hoping since you're the block captain's son you would know."

"I'm afraid I'm in the dark like you."

He then noticed Dale Gribble in the corner of the room lighting one of his cigarettes acting very spooked.

"I must have scared the hell out of him last night." Bobby thought in his head

Hank then walked up to in front of the room.

"Attention everyone and thank you for coming, now the reason I called you here was….."

"THERE'S A BLOOD THIRTSY WEREWOLF ON THE LOSE!" Dale screamed interrupting Hank

"Dale, shut up." Hank said

Dale ran up to the front of the room.

"Octavio and I saw it, it was 10 feet tall with pitch black fur, dark red eyes, blooding dripping from his mouth and from it's razor sharp claws." Dale began to describe the beast as he used his body to do so

Bobby and Berry almost laughed out loud to do Dale's bad description of Bobby.

"Then it let out a howl that could wake up Bill."

Bill shrieked at that part.

"You're crazy Hank's friend, "Hank's co-worker Enrique said as he walked to the front of the room, "the creature I believe you saw was the Chupacabra."

Bill shrieked again this time in a higher voice.

"Bill will you cut that out," Hank shouted, "sorry Enrique, please continue."

Enrique cleared his throat.

"The Chupacabra is a monster that kills livestock and drink their blood," Enrique told, "this monster has been a menace in Mexico for hundreds of years."

"Hold on Enrique, if that is your real name," Dale said, "reports of this "Chupacabra" doesn't go back pass 1995 in Puerto Rico though some say the first attack was in 1975 in a town called Moca, Puerto Rico, so there for your alleged Chupacabra is nothing but a modern cover up for government agencies to collect animal DNA in order to create a troop of superior animal soldiers for their invasion of Disneyland."

"Why attack Disneyland?" Bill asked

"If you knew its true purpose like me you would agree."

Hank hung his head in embarrassment from his friends.

"Can I please finish," Enrique asked, "thank you, now there have been many rumors about what this beast looks like, the most common description is a reptile like creature with scaly grayish green skin, razor sharp claws, little spines coming out of its back, huge fangs, and then there's the strength being able to knock over a full grown cow like it was a chair, not to mention its great agility."

Bobby's mind went to his encounter with a strange creature and from what he saw (plus the beating he received) figured it must've been the Chupacabra.

"Bobby, are you alright?" Jade asked nudging him with her elbow

"Yeah, I'm just pretty spooked." Bobby lied

"Well no worries I'm sure Berry will protect you."

Dale was back up front with a pull down map of Arlen.

"Ok, our only chance of survival is to hunt down this werewolf who is impersonating the actions of a Chupacabra or it's a really big squirrel either they it must be stopped," Dale began his plan, "well split up into teams each covering a part of Arlen."

The plan was made to kill the monster.

(7:45 p.m.)

Bobby was in his room under lockdown because Dale said that the children were their future "not as good as us" but their future. Bobby was looking through his book but there was nothing in it about the Chupacabra.

"I just can't sit here." Bobby said aloud

He grabbed his phone and called Berry.

"Hey Berry, (Berry talked) I know but I'm under lockdown like you so I can't get out."

They talked for a few more minutes before hanging up. Bobby walked around his room until he remembered something.

"The bathroom window, dad never locks that."

He quickly made his way to the bathroom and just like hoped it was unlocked. He opened it and made his way passed his dad's "privacy hedge" then ran out into the alley.

"Ok so I was killing and drinking the blood of livestock where would I be?"

He thought for a minute then he figured it out.

"The Larson's Pork Products slaughterhouse, they send in pigs to there deaths everyday, so he just grabs them before they get killed." he shouted before he began to run

For the first time he had noticed that his own speed had increased with that of a wolf's (although not reaching anywhere close to The Flash's speed). What could've been an hour run turned into a 40 minute one instead. He reached the slaughter house.

"Well this is it." Bobby said as he slowly entered the door (isn't lock to keep things simple ok)

The sounds of saws, grinders, and other machines filled the room as did the stench of dead pigs.

"Aw it smells in here."

Then a chuckle filled the air.

"The boy wolf." a voice said

Bobby turned to see a man he didn't recognize standing there with blood over his mouth.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Name is Howard Goat but you and I unofficially met last night." Howard greeted

"We did, wait you're the Chupacabra?" Bobby asked in disbelief

"I'm A Chupacabra, not The Chupacabra for unlike you my kind is new, there isn't that many of us I say are numbers were in the low 100's."

"You mean there's more of you guys running around?"

"You bet, the first Chupacabra that everybody thinks of when you say the name died a few years back but there are more of us out there, we just tend to stay in the shadows."

"Why come to Arlen?"

Howard began to walk towards Bobby.

"You see I'm on my own "American Culinary Journey" in away," Howard informed, "I'm traveling the country to the finest places that have livestock and sucking those critters dry, I was on my way to San Antonio when I read about this place all I have to say is "yummy."

"I don't know why you even bother with our town for, you could've have killed hundreds of pigs by now, so why stay?"

"It's like I told you last night, I'm going to kill me a werewolf," Howard shouted with his arms out, "just imagine the publicity my kind would get if I killed a werewolf one of the more well known monsters out there."

"I hate you tell you this but people are looking for one of my kind not yours." Bobby pointed out

"Oh I know that, so I took the liberty of leading false clues to lead them here where I'll slaughter all but one of them so that person can go tell that a Chupacabra is in fact real and dangerous."

Bobby stared in horror as he knew his mom and dad would probably come here to kill the werewolf but instead be like lambs (more like pigs) to a slaughter.

"I'm not going let you get away with this." Bobby screamed before he painfully transformed into the werewolf almost completely destroying his shirt in the process (that will happen every time from now on)

Howard whistled with amusement.

"Oh so scary," he said with sarcasm, "it would be even scarier if you could do this."

Without moving a muscle he began to transform. His skin became all grayish green and leathery, his fingers were turned into long skinny fingers with 8 inch claws, small spines came out of his shoulder and his trailed down to the middle of his back and his eyes became reptilian.

"Shall we get this little fiesta started?" he said with a hiss also showing his forked tongue

The two beasts jumped at each other.


Hate to leave you at a cliffhanger but it helps with suspense. Stay tuned to see what happens in the 4th part of The Crusader Rises.
