Skulker watched the people calling everyone to assemble near Jan's house. He had previously picked up his old master's gun and silver ammunition. He looked at the sky for a few moments and thought: 'Why did you decided to team up with those man-eating beasts? Did you forget your own teachings? I can't believe you betrayed me. That ending suited you.'
After 20 minutes the whole villagers were assembled in front of Jan's house. They were talking a lot, mostly wondering who would be a werewolf. The situation started to get serious when some started to accuse each other for the stupidest reasons.
One woman then another: "It must be you! I've never seen you get sick before!"
Then a man accused another: " You're the one who never drink any alcohol! You're just waiting for us to get drunk so you can kill us easily!"
This situation continued for a few minutes, if Sulker hadn't yelled ordering them to shut up they could have started a major fight among themselves. 'It's sad how people act when they're scared. At least this will be a good opportunity for them to open their eyes a little bit.'
"Okay, let's end up with it. Form a line in front of me." ordered Skulker.
The villagers did what they were told. Skulker handed the bullet for one person to hold. He checked if the person wasn't burned by it and then picked the silver bullet back. He handed the bullet with his left hand while he hold Jan's gun with his right one. He had to be quickly to shoot if he discovers a werewolf among them.
In front of Nicolas there was his wife and kids. Both Karol and his father were frightened. The boy hoped that his father was going to think of something that would avoid their secret to be revealed.
Olga turned to her husband and said: "I hope none of these people here are one of those creatures. I don't even want to imagine what'll happen. I hoped we could all live in peace now that you came back, but I guess that's asking too much…"
Nicolas saw the sad face of his wife and smiled weakly and replied: "Don't worry, dear. Nothing bad will happen…". 'Because I won't allow it!' he continued in his thoughts.
The adult werewolf made a risky plan. He was going t change places with Karol pretending that he just want to be done with this test as fast as possible and when it turns out to be his turn, he would disarm the hunter and beat him up and flee with his family. That wasn't a flawless plan, but it was the best chance that they had.
Nicolas changed places with his son. That made Skulker look suspiciously at him, but he gave the excuse he had just planned and the hunter seemed to have fallen for it. Karol and Nicolas' anxiety raised at each time they got closer to Skulker.
When there was just two people in front of the adult werewolf, they heard someone scream: "THERE'S A WEREWOLF COMMING! EVERYONE RUN!" when they looked to the direction the man pointed they saw a certain silver lycanthrope came running toward them.
'I don't know if I thank him or kill him now…'
Skulker also saw Alphonse and got ready to shoot him, but the silver werewolf jumped high on his direction and because of that Skulker didn't shoot. Silver bullets were hard to make and he isn't stupid to simply waste ammunition on a target he knew he couldn't hit.
Most of people ran away from that place, however a few decided to go back home and get as much objects they could use as weapons to defend their village. Olga wanted to run with her family. Nicolas thought that was a much better idea than his and suggested that they should simply leave the village and start anew somewhere else away from all those creatures and, of course, his wife accepted. The man picked up Jadiwiga, who was really frightened, and ran with his family.
Alphonse landed next to Skulker ,who was about to shoot, when he punched the hunter's belly making him release both the bullet and the gun and Skulker flew a few meters. Unfortunately, the bullet also went flying. It landed on Karol's right arm leaving a big and bad burn mark which made the boy scream in pain. If they had fled sooner, that wouldn't have happened.
Skulker saw that and quickly got up and withdrew his gun and aimed at the boy. Nicolas got desperate. The secret was revealed and even his wife saw that. She was too confused to react. What snapped the man out was the warning from Alphonse: "NICOLAS, WATCH OUT!"
Then Nicolas saw Skulker about to shoot at his boy. He gave Jadiwiga to his wife to hold and put himself in front of his son and received 4 shot. 2 on his lungs, one on his right arm and the last one on his heart. The once known as the most powerful lycanthrope of Poland died trying to protect what he hold most dear to him: his family.
The bullet wounds left huge burn marks on his body which were visible before he fell on the ground. Olga and Jadiwiga screamed in horror. Olga kneeled down and cried desperately over her husband and tried to wake him up. She didn't even saw two men coming from behind her. One with brown hair yelled: "DIE, MONSTER LOVER!"
After that he stabbed her with a big fork which is used to hay haverst. She died over her husband and that made Jadiwiga scream once more, but she was silenced by other man who beat her up to with a piece of wood which he used as a bat to hit her.
Karol did nothing. For him the world was playing a sick joke. He just couldn't believe on his very own eyes. The three deaths took just a few minutes to happen, but for him, it seemed like hours of suffering. The boy felt something he had only felt once before when Fritz was around, but that time it was much stronger: a desire to kill.
The boy let out not a scream, but a really loud roar which made them man flinch
"Shit…" Then Alhonse noticed that Skulker was aiming at him once again and fired it. The silver lycanthrope was slightly injured in the left cheek. He got really close of dying there. Then he ran away into the woods. Skulker got up and left thefthat someone got near the Jan's gun and picked it up.
The hunter chased the silver werewolf into the woods. During the run, Skulker reloaded his gun. He got into the woods and each step he gave was given with extreme caution.
When the hunter realized, he was in the middle of the woods, but always read to shoot at any suspicious movement. He walked really carefully watching every tree and bush. His past experiences showed that lycanthropes usually like to hide and give a surprise attack.
"Hide as much as you want, beast. I'm the best hunter of all times. I'm even way better than my late teacher, Jan." Skulker said trying to intimidate Alphonse.
Alphonse was hiding among the leaves on the top of a next to Skulker. He was just waiting for the right moment to leap on the hunter while he boasted about his skills.
When the hunter showed his back to the tree Alphonse was hiding, the werewolf saw his chance and jumped, however heard the noise of Alphonse passing through the leaves and quickly turned and shot him three times. One bullet hit his chest, other on his right should and the last one on the abdomen. But they didn't hit any vital organ. The silver werewolf fell on the ground.
Alphonse felt a horrid pain, yet he couldn't afford to stop. Skulker smiled at his prey and approached. The hunter expected that the werewolf would beg for his life before he killed him.
Nevertheless, The silver lycanthrope swiftly used his left leg to trip Skulker up. Alphonse saw his last chance of survival. If the hunter could aim he would shot without any hesitation. He quickly got up and removed the gun out of Skulker's right hand and teared it apart.
Before coming to the village, the hunter made a special knife made of silver just in case he needed to have a close ranged combat. He quickly got up, withdrew it from a secret pocket on the leg of his trousers and tried to stab Alphonse's chest. But The lycanthrope managed to stop the knife by grabbing his left wrist then he twisted it making Skulker yell and drop the knife.
Alphonse was in agony. The silver inside him was just intensifying the pain. If he didn't removed it soon, it could be his end. So he decided to first make Skulker unable to fight back.
The hunter also didn't want to die there. He quickly tried to grab the knife on the snow with his right hand, but the werewolf kicked him on the stomach which made Skulker fly a few meters and gasp for air.
The lycanthrope approached and used some of the strength he had left to break Skulker's limbs. The screams echoed through the woods. Then he grabbed the man and lifted him so he could talk face-to face.
Alphonse then snarled at Skulker: "Do not worry. I'll not kill you. Quick death is just too good for you. I'll dump you into a hole and let you rot. I'll make you starve, so you'll become nothing but a puny and insignificant human. I'll show you what is despair."
Then the silver lycanthrope hit Skulker's head to knock him out.
Meanwhile:
Karol transformed into a werewolf and attacked the people who had just killed his family. He first assaulted the people who murdered his mother and sister.
They tried to use the torches and the forks to hurt Karol, but it was meaningless. The boy tore apart the weapons and attacked the people he once considered to be friendly.
His first victim was the man stabbed his mother. He gave him a punch so hard that it stabbed the man who had an instant death. The people tried to run away at the horrible sight. But the boy who couldn't control himself anymore threw the dead body against the man, who beat his little sister to death with a piece of wood. The man fell on the ground and groaned.
He jumped and landed on his head. His next target was going to be Skulker, but he was nowhere to be found. However he noticed a five men trying to attack him with more torches and forks.
The monster inside of him was finally free and it had a lust for revenge for all the people who betrayed his family. He easily crushed their weapons and started to counter attack.
The young lycanthrope impaled two men with his powerful hands. The remaining three men lost all the courage they had left. Because of their stupidity, they thought they could hurt him if they just attacked him hard enough. They thought Skulker was just trying to sound intelligent and wanted that the village paid him for all the silver he was going to use. That's why they attacked. That was their fatal mistake.
Karol removed his hands from the men he had stabbed and hold the heads of more two who were shaking a lot and screaming begging to their bodies to run from there. He used his strength to break their skulls also killing them immediately.
The last one managed to run away, but Karol, driven by rage wouldn't allow it. He picked up one fork on the ground and threw it against the man who got stabbed on the heart and died.
He looked at the corpses of his family. His father was shot, his mother stabbed and his little sister beaten to death. The horror was too much for him to handle. It happened all in front of him and he did nothing to help them. The pain, hatred and guilty were overwhelming. However, after several minutes he started to regain control of himself.
He looked at his hands and they were soaked with blood. He gave scream while he hold his head and closing his eyes tightly. Then he opened his eyes and approached a little more of his family and he stretch his arm, which was trembling, to touch his mother.
Suddenly, Karol was shot from behind on his right leg. The pain was enormous because it was a silver bullet, it was like his leg were stabbed by a really hot iron knife and it seemed to spread through his whole body. The young werewolf fell on the ground. He grabbed his leg and tried not to scream in pain.
"Zamenhof?" asked the boy confused and frightened at the sight of his best friend pointing a gun at him. The boy fled from his father and came back just to end any remaining monster by himself. He also saw Karol turning into a werewolf.
"SHUT UP, DEMON!" Screamed the boy angrily. "After all this time you were just a freaking monster who hurt my dad and friends!"
Karol then pleaded: "What? I would never do that! Why are you doing this? WE WERE FRIENDS DAMMIT!"
"I AM NO FRIEND OF ANY DEMON! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A MURDERER! AND YOU SAY YOU WOULDN'T HURT MY DAD? THAT'S BULLCRAP! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TRIED TO KILL HIM BY THROWING A PIG AT HIM! ARE YOU ALSO GOING SAY THAT IT WASN'T YOU WHO HAD JUST MURDERED ALL THESE PEOPLE?" Then the boy shot Karol one more time hitting his left shoulder. The boy howled in pain. Zamenhof didn't know it was Alphonse who did that, but even if Karol tried to tell him this, the boy wouldn't listen. For him, Karol was just a monster that needed to be killed. He didn't even cared about the reason why his former friend did all that. He only repeated countless times in his head: 'It's all Karol's fault!'
Karol couldn't take it anymore. The betrayal of his best friend and his family's death were too much for the werewolf to handle. The boy's mind lost to the hatred once again. He gathered the strength he had left, got up and stormed against Zamenhof with a murder instinct who got scared and shot the two remaining bullets on the gun. They hit Karol's head right before he could attack Zamenhof.
"I guess...This makes me a hero…" muttered Zamenhof panting and staring at the Lycanthrope corpse in front of him. He felt no sorry for what he had just done. But he didn't notice that someone was approaching from behind.
