Blood and Flowers

Chapter 3

The Memory that Haunted Nightmares

"Why are you here, Rob?" asked Crystal.

"I was just passing by and I saw you here," said Rob, grinning. "Also, for you the bear my children."

"No way," said Crystal. "I told you before. I don't want to marry you."

"You have no choice," said Rob. "Your parent's already had set a marriage between us before they died. So though luck for trying to get out of this one."

Rob leaned down and was about to kiss Crystal, when Crystal showed her sharp teeth and dug into the flesh of Rob's arm. Rob howled in pain and clitched his arm when Crystal let go. Crystal wiped the blood from her mouth and then ran. She ran and ran and ran.

Then she stopped at a building. It read on the neon sign: Sugar Club. She walked in. A lot of drunkies and couples were in there. Some of them were kind of weird looking. Others were just making out with their mate. There was a guy onstage that was singing.

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky.

The guy, Jake Smith, looked straight at Crystal as he said those words. Crystal just looked away. She wasn't interested in him at all. Crystal went behind the bar and started t take drunkies orders and other peoples orders. Then suddenly, the door got kicked open.

"Oh no. They are here again," muttered Crystal.

'Of all the nights they had to come, why did they come when I had to work the latest?' thought Crystal.

They were a bunch of bikers and most of them were drunk or were just too modest to be drunk. They all walked up to the bar.

"Hey there, baby," said one of the drunk bikers.

Crystal growled low.

"What do you want?" she said, the growl in her voice getting ruder.

"You have grown. More pyhiscally in the chest then your height," said the drunk biker.

Crystal just ignored that comment, but growled a little louder.

"I'll be right back," mumbled Crystal.

She walked out of the bar. She looked in the alleyway she walked into. She couldn't see anyone. Crystal grinned. Her teeth grew larger and her hair turned white. Her hands turned into white paws and her feet turned into white paws too. She grew a tail. She also grew wolf ears as her human ears vanished. Crystal went on her front paws as her whole body grew white fur. Her eyes stayed the same sky blue color, but it was a piercing color. Crystal growled. Blood was still on her teeth. Crystal ran to the front of the club and ran into the door. It was already knocked down.

Crystal howled when she went inside. Everyone stopped and looked at Crystal. Crystal howled again then bared her large sharp teeth. Blood stained them. Soon mostly everyone was screaming as Crystal ran around the club making sure the people get out. The drunken bikers were a bit afraid but held their ground.

Crystal growled at them. She drew closer as she bared her large teeth. The drunk bikers stepped back a bit. Then, a shot was heard. Crystal looked at the door. Her eyes showed fear and a bit of hurt in them.

Rei was there, holding a rifle in his hands. It was pointing straight at Crystal. The bikers ran out of the club. Crystal stepped back into the corner. She then ran out into the alleyway where her clothes were. Crystal started to change back. But somehow, she only could change halfway when a gunshot was heard. Crystal dodged it but got hit in the shoulder. She looked at the person who shot the bullet. She froze in place. Rei was standing there, his hands shaking as the gun fell from his hands. He looked really scared and afraid. He looked shocked too. He looked like he saw a ghost or something. Crystal was about to walk up to him when she howled in pain. Her shoulder hurt really badly.

"Y…You are a werewolf," stammered Rei, still looking frightened.
