Maplestory Werewolf 2 A Wolf's Travels

Chapter 13

Discovery

Caiden R. arrived to the forest to help us train as well, he tossed me a staff and told me to never take my eyes off my enemy.

"And even if your enemy blinds you, use your other senses to fight." Caiden said. "Try fighting me with your eyes closed."

I closed my eyes, and everyone had to stay out of the way so I didn't accidently hit anyone. But I didn't understand anything.

"You have to not only use your hearing but sense of smell to seperate Ally from Enemy." Caiden said. "Knowing the difference will be of great help when fighting blind."

I nodded concentrating and sniffed the air only to open my eyes.

"Jasmin go eat your tuna elsewhere." I said.

"Why should I?" she said.

"I'll knock you on your butt tuna breathe. Your Tuna's getting in the way of my training."

"I'd like to see you try and knock me on my butt. I'm a catm we always land on our feet." she said.

"Unless you fall from a high distance." I said mocking her.

She hissed at me and I purposely tripped her and she fell into the pond. I just smiled while Caiden laughed hard.

"Do you want me to claw you on the face?"

"Go ahead tuna breathe."

She hissed again and came at me but I tripped her again and again till she was back in the pond.

"Mutt." she said walking inside.

I hate being mean but I tried several times to be nice to her and only met with distrust, how the hell do Chuana and Jason get along with her? I'll have to ask them later, I have to continue my training.

"Ready to continue?" Caiden asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready." I said.

We trained for hours until I was exhausted, I went inside to get something to eat and smiled seeing Lisa sitting down making little rock candy butterflies. To my surprise, she could actually give life to them by lightly petting their wings.

"Whoa, that is so cool!" Jason said smiling. "What did Alex think?"

"I haven't shown him yet, I want it to be a surprise." she said.

I hid around the corner smiling and then walked to the kitchen and got something to eat.

"Alex, a word with you?"

I looked over to see Samuel.

"Sure, what is it Samuel?"

"Protect Lisa, someone is going to turn her over to the Masquarade."

I dropped the cup of water I had gotten.

"What?" I said suddenly growling. "Who? Who the hell would do that?"

"Someone desperate to protect their own rather than worry about many."

I growled punching the wall leaving a hole in it as Anako walked in.

"I heard, I will keep her safe here, only Caiden knows how to get to my house but this is disturbing. Who would want to harm that girl?" Anako asked.

"I bet its going to be Jasmine." I said.

"No, not Jasmine. You have noticed that she began to act strange after Alex mentioned a certain something." Samantha said. "She's being used, at least her body is, there's a soul inside her that doesn't belong."

"You don't mean..." Samuel said.

What are they talking about, and who are they talking about? Jasmine's not Jasmine? I'm not sure of what to think at all.

"Samantha are you reffering to the betrayer Rick knew?" Samuel asked.

"Her soul never rested, infact it has become a restless angry earthbound spirit angry that her life was stolen from her." Samantha said.

"What are you two talking about?" I asked.

"Your father knew a girl once but why she'd blame your father for her death, I have no idea." Samuel said.

"Sarah, she was one who'd easily betray anyone for someone who's handsome. I have a feeling she's been promised revival by Maximus if she turns over Chuana." Samantha said. "The real Jasmine is stuck in cat form, but where, is unclear."

This is my motivation, I decided there was only one thing to do. Kill the fake Jasmine, but if I do that, everyone would think I'm heartless. I must think strategically. I know, Jason knows her best, I have to ask him. I went outside seeing Jason and I walked over to him and asked him.

"Normally Jasmine adores being around werewolves, she's a bookworm and used to have straight hair. But...Come to think of it, she changed after The Masquarade caught us. Now she cares about Fashion, she was extremely protective of Chuana, wouldn't even let me near her." he explained.

"And I know why." I said. "Because that's not the real Jasmine. Jason, I think you knew the whole time but didn't want to believe it."

"...Yes, I didn't want to believe that it isn't Jasmine, I can see someone's aura. Demon ability of mine. Jasmine's aura was blue but that Jasmine's aura is black, the color of a soul departed too soon from life grown angry at life that spurned them."

"We can't let that fake know we're onto her." I said.

I was about to say something else when a spear came between us both. I looked up seeing General Blue and I growled. Jason became defensive as well.

"Well well, so you're the same kid who made my men look like fools at the docks. So I was correct after all. You are a monster, and so I must condem you to death." he said raising his spear.

Caiden rushed out blocking General Blue's spear.

"That's enough Isaac."

"General Red, what the hell do you think your doing?"

"What's right, I am so tired of killing the innocent. Maximus has no idea what life is really like. I won't allow you to kill the son of a werewolf who never tasted blood!"

"You have grown soft." General Blue said. "I pity you."

Caiden pulled out two pistals and would fire a shot or two at General Blue or Isaac as he called him. While every while dodging Isaac's spear stabs and slashes, he'd fire another shot from his guns.

"Shit, of all the fucking times to run out of bullets. Oh well."

He tossed both guns and pulled the sword out and attacked close range. He pinned Isaac to the tree and spoke.

"Isaac, you better fucking listen cause I'm not playing anymore. Alex is the son of the werewolf who stopped the spread of darkness when we were 16 and Lucina was 14, the son of a werewolf of the old legend. Don't you get it, we must be doing something bad spilling blood of innocent people. Like that dragon kin girl!"

"You are so fucking corrupted General Red! You've been helping our enemies!"

Caiden leaned back.

"Shut the Hell up!" Caiden said suddenly banging his head forward once.

The force from that head butt broke both their masks and Caiden pulled back. Isaac's maske broke and half of it fell off, and then the other half. Caiden removed his, both were bleeding, Samantha walked out with the others but the fake Jasmine was missing. Isaac was wide-eyed in shock from what had just happened and I walked over taking out a napkin covering his wound.

"What the hell are you doing? Trying to make me let my guard down so you can turn me?" he said.

"You know something, you are an idiot. You should open your eyes and see what our lives are like once in a while." I said.

Lisa walked over.

"Mr. Isaac, please, hold still." she said pulling out a butterfly that fly out of her hand and landed on his forehead healing him and then healed Caiden. "There, I hate seeing anyone hurt or killed."

He stared at her confused.

"Life is so precious, a gift so that we can bring joy to the lives of others." She said. "Why take away such a precious gift?"

Isaac was blown back by her words that he stumbled back.

"Isaac, don't you understand now, they all have feelings too." Caiden said.

"I'm not Isaac anymore, I surrendered my name to our master to show loyalty!" he yelled.

"Dude, that's foolish." Drake said.

"Your name is given to you to be the start to define who you are." Conway said.

"Shut up!" he yelled.

He shot up and went to run but Drake caught his shadow with his own.

"Sorry man, but I think you need to understand what we go through." Drake said.

I knew what he was going to do, this wasn't going to be pretty.
