My claws ripped through the chest, as I tore the heart of the beast out, still beating once more before it stuttered to a stop. And I was me again. Daxter came running out of a crevice, by my side. The alarms stopped, and my arm wound had reopened. Damas was down in a flash to check the damage. Sienna was now awake, still fangs and claws out, eyes completely black. She sniffed the air and looked at my blood and launched herself at me, snarling as she did. She was on top of me, trying to chomp at my face. Damas knocked her off of me and contained her. I stood up, as soon as I did, I was out cold.
I woke up in my bed; my head throbbing worse than a hangover. Sienna and Damas were standing over me. When I looked over to my arm, there was no traceable wound.
"We sealed your wound with our venom," Sienna answered the question inside my head.
"Venom..?" I replied stupidly.
"Our saliva has venom with a healing agent. It will seal your lacerations like glue on paper." Damas explained.
"Oh buddy, thank God you are alive!" Daxter shouted as he hugged me. "I don't know what I would do without you."
"I feel so bad Jak, really I do. I didn't mean to attack you," She said remorsefully.
"It's ok, really. I'm alive aren't I?" I tried to make her feel better, and she heard some of the nice thoughts in my head and smiled.
"Jak, I commend you for killing that bothersome werewolf, but what the hell were you thinking?" He rebuked.
"I had to protect Daxter. I can't expect for a three foot tall Ottsel you fend for him," I explained.
"Very noble; I think so," Andrea glided into the room, her scent so sweet. Sienna rolled her eyes and locked onto Andrea.
"Of course it was. That is why Jak will make an excellent king someday," Damas said with pride and definitely caught my attention.
"What?! Me a…a king…? Yeah I don't think so. It's really not my department. I wanna fight not lead," I explained.
"We'll talk about it later; it's not important right now," He said, nipping the conversation in the bud.
"What's with the werewolves? Werewolves, vampires; what's next, fucking unicorns?" I inquired irritatingly.
"They are viscous beasts who think only about killing and devouring," Sienna clarified. "Strong and twice our size and three times our mass."
"Yes; they have been attacking our family for sometime. My father tried to infiltrate their proximity and kill them off, but they were too strong. These scientists captured a werewolf and heavily sedated it and experimented upon it. They tried to inject them with dark and red eco to reverse the undomesticated and beastly ways, but it only made them stronger. Eventually all the werewolves were contaminated with it, unleashing hell on us all."
"Of course they used to be human. One day these humans were infected by a wolf bite. First they would get really sick; puking all the time, sweating, fevers. Then they would have a taste for flesh or raw meat. Eventually they would transform into a monster, becoming savages and uncultivated; living like a wild animal. It was actually kind of sad," Andrea elucidated.
"It's not sad anymore when they are killing innocent beings," I said in disbelief.
"They need to be eliminated," Damas piped up.
"Yeah! They! Tried! To! Eat! Me!" Daxter shouted. They all looked at me inquisitively.
"What…? You want me to do it?" I asked breathless.
"More like want your help," Sienna looked me over. "But, you might want to be able to fight."
"I can fight!" I defended myself.
"I didn't mean it like that. No, I mean, we can teach you how to fight a lot better. Make every punch count, and deliver kicks harder than the next. How to be stealthy; trust me, I know what I am doing," Sienna said.
"Very true Sienna, but you might want to leave that up to me," Andrea challenged.
"Excuse me?" Sienna asked in shock.
"Oh I'm sure you're very…eh…you know," She replied mildly. "But when it comes to brute force…It's more my field." Andrea bragged making Sienna snarl.
"Ladies, ladies," Damas scolded. "I think we can have Jak decide."
"Umm…." I said dumbfounded. You can't choose one woman over the other; one of them will end up killing you anyways. Sienna glared at me for that thought. "Both." Stupid answer. I received death glares from both of them, and even Daxter; which I don't know why.
"Good choice," Damas said, but his eyes screamed DUMBASS! To my discontent, Sienna stifled a laugh.
"I mean Sienna can teach me stealth moves, and Andrea can teach me force. I can't lose. I got the best of both worlds." My stomach then growled on account of I hadn't eaten since yesterday.
"Might want to make him something to eat then," Damas said pointedly.
"Yeah," I muttered under my breath.
