~~1 week since the grocery incident~~
"I SCREAM, YE SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR IIICECREEEAAAAAMM!" Felix shrank away as Jack shouted aloud.
"Fuck, you're as loud as shit," Felix rubbed the side of his head with his index and middle finger.
"Come on, shit ain't as loud AS MEEEEE!" Jack waved his hand. He gasped in horror as the chocolate icecrem slipped off the cone and onto the warm concrete. He stayed silent for a few moments, locked into position.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screeched in a high pitched tone. Mark coughed a bit and nudged his shoulder, nodding to the many faces of a bewildered clump of teens. Jack smiled sheepishly and hurried on.
"Rest In Piece Jack's icecream, from 5:22pm to 5:26pm," Felix joked as he walked up beside his green haired friend.
The all giggled loudly as they remembered his horrified scream and the confused pedestrians. "Wait, did you say 5:26pm?"
"Yep. Why you asking, Jackaboy?" Felix turned his head to look at him.
"Uhh, just," Jack suddenly gave a fake-yawn. "Wow, its just later than I thought."
"No one gets tired at 5," Felix narrowed his eyes.
"Jack, just tell him, its alright," Mark murmured.
"What- -!? But y- -"
"He's afraid of the dark," Mark said abruptly. Jack elbowed his side with a loud cough.
"And Mark is scared of the moon." He added dryly.
"Oh really?" Felix raised an eyebrow with a skeptical expression.
"Yes," Jack nodded.
"And Jack is also scared of cats,"
"I'm allergic to them. Which is convenient since ye are the one scared of animals."
"Should I mention your wide fear of stuffed ani- -"
"Is it impossible for you two to say the truth?" Felix snapped, stepping in front of them with his arms folded. They waited in awkward silence for a minute, Felix studying them as their gazes were downcast.
Mark finally caved in. He lifted his gaze with Felix's with a solemn expression. "If we tell you, then... 'People' out there will want to hurt you."
At first, Felix wasn't buying it. But when Mark didn't break gaze, he realized he was serious on it. Jack shuffled awkwardly, giving Mark a sideways glance.
"What big of a secret could you possibly have?" Felix was more concerned than agitated. How could they know something so important that just be hinting it Felix would be hurt- -or, more likely in the sense of him knowing,- -killed?
Mark simply shook his head a bit, refusing to answer. Felix brushed it off and decided to let the subject drop. He supposed he shouldn't look into it if it got him killed, even though be wanted to know SO BADLY.
They all took a shortcut through a park which had densely packed trees. As the sun sank lower, Felix noticed Jack and Mark seemed pretty tense.
"You to okay?" He asked as he ate the small chunk that was left of his icecream cone.
"Hmm?" Mark looked over. "Oh, yep. Totally."
"You two seem a little on edge," Felix commented as he walked on. Jack was dead silent, scanning the treetops with quick blue eyes.
"DUCK!" Mark suddenly lunged forward and landed on Felix, making him yelp.
"What- -!?" Mark abruptly stood and grabbed his wrist, practically flying off as he dragged Felix behind him.
"Mark, what the shit!?" Felix stumbled as he tried to keep himself from tripping. Mark took no notice but instead kept sprinting.
"Mark!" Jack suddenly ran up beside him. "I couldn't shake them!"
"Should we switch?"
"Sure," Jack agreed. Jack grabbed onto Felix's forearm as Mark let go and suddenly dashed the opposite direction.
"Did you two seriously just pass me off like I was a box of chocolates or something?" Felix asked in a tone of disbelief.
"Yes. Now keep running," Jack replied briskly.
"Why? What are we running from?" Felix asked as he tried to glance over his shoulder
"Just keep moving," The green haired man replied. Felix blinked, yet he didn't object. About a minute later, they both skidded to a halt as a large figure landed from above. It had ragged, torn clothing over it and stood at about 6 and a half fee tall. It had pale blue skin and two sickly yellow eyes with no hair and had a well muscular build to it. But what Felix noticed immediately was its four arms.
"Shit," Jack growled. 'Shit? SHIT? A HUGE MONSTER COMES OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE AND HE JUST SAYS SHIT!?' Felix thought as his breathing quickened. This had to be a dream, but it was all to real. Especially when the monster raised two arms on its left side and swatted him into a tree. That pain was definitely real.
His breathing quickened as the... 'Thing'... Loomed over him. He managed a little squeak, though it was nothing helpful. The monster raised a silver ring and brought it to his left eye. He closed his other one and examined Felix through the ring. Felix was curious, confused, and scared as Shit all at the sam time.
"The Blue Wolf has been found!" He roared loudly.
"W-What!?" Felix shrank back, his blue eyes flashing in confusion and terror as it unsheathed a curved scimitar from its belt. The monster eyed the sword before lifting it above its head. It yelled as a flash of green pinned it down. A large, green colored wild cat pinned the monster down and roared out deafeningly in its right ear.
The blue bipedal growled and grabbed his sword once more. The feline swiftly least off to avoid it as it swung to hit him. The creature bit down on a forearm and clawed the monster's side. The green cat continued to do so, biting and clawing at it and jumping back to avoid an attack. The scimitar's blade hit nothing but thin air.
Finally, with an angered snarl, it turned and fled. The green cat roared after the retreating monster. It breathed heavily from its fast moving tactic, its piercing gaze staring off where his opponent went. It turned to look straight over at Felix. In the same instant, Mark stumbled in the clearing, gasping.
"GOD MARK!" Felix stared dumbfounded as a flash occurred and the green cat was gone, replaced by Jack. Jack raced over to his brother and looked in dismay at the assortment of wounds.
"Its fine," Mark shrugged it off. "Nothing I can't handle."
"This," They turned as Felix announced matter-of-factly, "is the craziest dream I've ever had. EVER."
"Err, afraid its not a dream, Blue Wolf," Jack replied.
"Wait- -Blue Wolf?" Mark looked at Jack in bewilderment. "How?"
"A monster we ran into used the Ring of Truth. It looked at Felix and announced he was Blue Wolf," Jack explained. Though it didn't help Felix in the least.
"Blue wolves? Shape-shifting? Monsters? Rings?" Felix blinked and rubbed the back of his neck. "You've got some explaining to do."
