Stupid worms, why won't they leave me alone? "Stop beast or we will kill you!" I stopped, the came closer approaching slowly. I turned around and glared my fangs. There were five of them, standing in a half circle around me. "Some quietly and we won't hurt you." My hulking body towered over them, my massive muscles rippled underneath my fur. I was about six seven standing on my rear legs. "You're all lucky it's not a full moon or you'd already be dead." Truth be if it was I'd be. "Take one step closer and not only will I eat your hearts, but every heart in that village over there will be in my stomach too. The one in front of me made his move. He moved forward chanting his spell. I leapt for the smallest one. My open claw tore through his flesh, moved his ribs aside, making them crack and break. My claw found his heart, I could feel it beating. It was racing, at least two hundred beats a minute. I Pulled it lose from the sanctity of his body. I swallowed quickly, I still had four more hearts to consume. Humans are so slow, by the time I had my second heart in hand, the first one realized his heart was missing. He fell dead, the other three retaliated with a barrage of magic spells. The earth moved like a snake under the influence of the young magicians. One of their columns came strait for my chest. I sidestepped letting it graze my fur. The breeze that followed cooled me on this hot night. I leaped into the air, landing on the female member of the group. Her chest collapsed from the immense pressure. A column blind sighted me, slamming me in the back of my neck. I landed on my back, massive columns pinned me to the ground. "Bastards! I'll kill all of you!" He walked over to me, looked down at me. "You'll never kill anyone ever again." He pulled a silver dagger from his belt. "Now demon from hell, die!" The knife flashed in the moons beautiful light. The cold steel burrowed into my heart. "We did it! We killed him." "We better leave him here." "I guess after they die they go back to their human form." "Wow, he looks like he's only sixteen." "Let go, I want to tell everyone about how we killed him." "I'm just glad that we were able to save the village." "Aww so sweet, too bad you failed!" I grabbed a heart in each claw. They gurgled with their blood. I ate the last two hearts into my mouth, savoring the sweet blood washing against my tongue.
"Those poor freshmen, they were so naïve." I spun around to face the voice. "Who the hell are you?" "I was their instructor, they were a good group of kids. But these pour students, they couldn't even capture you. You're not even old enough to suck power from a person soul yet. Pitiful bunch of students, making their teacher clean up after them." Before I could even react, I was pinned down. He approached me with another silver dragger. "Just to let you know, this is no ordinary dagger. This dagger with pull out that wrenched heart of yours." The cold soothing feel of metal reached down to my heart. His thumb moved to a small button on the hilt. There was searing pain as I pelt two small points extend from within the blade. He pulled, the excruciating pain rippled through my body. I felt like every ounce of strength was ripped out along with my heart. He brought back his fist, everything went black.
