Chapter 15:
-Bloody Situation-
Michael sat at the shore of the wild river on a smaller comfortable rock and threw stones aimlessly into the water. He thought again and again of Alex and how he is going. He thought to often about to call his sister and wanted to ask after the circumstances going around, however, he it didn't dare. Of what because he was afraid of, he didn't know. They had spoken no more to each other for years and there would be no apologies for it. Michael didn't have any real reason for his lasting for years silence anyway. One could hardly call self-pity as reason and he was over Selene's death. Ah my God no, if he really thought this, he lied to himself then. He could never forgive himself her death. This was his single weakness, because if he loved somebody, no matter whether vampire or human being, then, he will give everything to protect them. It simply lay in his nature. He was once a doctor and will remain one. long, he stared into the wild water without to have the sense of time how long he actually had sat in the wilderness, but as began getting dark, he knew that he was been too long out here. An easy breeze refreshed the splendid evening and whirled up the leaves of the trees easily. Without looking up a single time, Michael walked lost in thoughts back to the village. Normally, one could hear the birds chirping and singing, however, it was quiet you could only hear the rustles of the leaves and the howl of the wind. Maybe a herd of wolves or a grizzly were hunting, it was nothing to worry about, but Michael suddenly stood still as he saw shades scurry through the hedges. He couldn't see how many it were but it seemed that he was surrounded. Something told him, that it was no robbers or people. As if it didn't matter to him or he didn't see them, he continued. Then, he became by an invisible mighty beat from the back hurled against a tree, however he couldn't see, who the attacker was however, but he had to admit that this one was strong. Still it didn't impress him and he got up, hardly he was on his feet, he was catapulted already in the air and was hurled against a sharp rock. One moan slipped him as he hit it and fell to the ground. The sharp teeth of the rock had slashed his back and a pointed rock part drilled even through his chest. It took a while, until he could recover himself from this attempt and could get up again on his feet. The next planned attack on him, was a failure.
„Not like this." he snarled. He blocked the hit with his left hand and with the right one he hurled this thing through the half forest. He ran totally pissed off after him. A powerful grasp of his hand at the throat of his aggressor let this yell out. Michael didn't know whether he should be surprised or not, then the aggressors were werewolves. Rather advanced. He had never met such opponents, also their outer appearance was different, and a more wolf similar shape but they had an enormous power, which Michael had a little bit underestimated. His blood was racing, his muscles twitched, the lust, after blood rose. It was long ago, that Michael had tasted immortal blood and this here filled his nose with biggest pleasure. Wild snarling and baring teeth surrounded Michael in the dark. He threw a wild gaze around himself and then, drilled his fangs into the throat of his victim. Like a vampire, he sucked him empty, no single drop of blood was wasted, and then, he discarded the deserted body disrespectfully from himself. The fresh blood rushed through him like adrenaline and he lusted after more and pushed a threatening snarl from itself and got ready for battle. A single one dared to face the foreign one to get in his way... however vainly. Even if he raised so much power and speed, this poor werewolf didn't have the lowest chance to inflict Michael only one scratch. Michael was only a human being in their eyes, so they thought at least first that however there they were mightily mistaken and that cost two of their companions. Michael shattered the second the neck like a match. Also like the first, he withdrew the elixir of life in seconds. For a long time, he hadn't felt this satisfaction no more but he had to stop before he got out of control.
"Leave me alone!" he screamed sharp and erupted full of fury. This warning reverberated through the whole forest and the werewolves dared no further to attack the stranger once more and vanished in the hedges in the dark.
