Chapter 2
I gulped, eyes widening. I looked at the sky, staring at the full, shiny moon. Finally, I looked back down at Amanda and the others, thinking if I was a werewolf myself.
" Well, to be honest, some of us are first turning so…...you might want to keep a distance." Amanda told me.
" But, what if I'm a werewolf?!" I asked, hyperventilating. Amanda laughed and patted my back, avoiding my question. It continued to swirl in my mind when it began. I heard someone groan. Then, I saw the scar man staring at me. His eyes glowing a yellow-orange color. He turned away, speaking to the person in front of him. I gulped, turning away as well.
" Well, it's time." said Amanda, eyes glowing a dark shade of yellow. I began to feel even more uneasy, until I heard a war cry. It came from the city close by. I spun toward it, seeing a shadow of 2 men attacking each other, shields lifted, swords swinging. I heard more groans behind me and bones cracking. I didn't feel anything actually. Am I supposed to cry in pain or groan like the movies? I thought. Then that's when I heard a scream, multiple screams. Startled, I jumped back, legs twitching, mind screaming RUN, IDIOT, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. RUN FASTER THAN SONIC COULD EVER RUN! Though, I didn't. My feet stayed planted in the ground, mind finally calming, but it was too soon to start relaxing. I heard more bones cracking, more groans and screams. Finally, my instincts kicked in. But, they weren't human instincts. More….odd. I seemed to have throws my arms out, hands starting to glow a green color. I heard growling as I lifted my hands above my head. I peaked up to see what happened, but then I came face to face with a growling, 6 foot, bristling with muscles, muzzle drooling wolf. There was a scar across it's left eye. Then, I smashed my hands into the ground, the werewolf flying back, crashing into another wolf, both wolves whimpering. I yanked my hands out of the ground and stumbled. My heart thundered against my chest, then my more human instincts kicked in. I spun around and ran, covering ground faster than even Usain Bolt. Then, I saw something ahead. A man walking slowly out of the building. But when he saw me and the wolves chasing me, he sprinted at my direction, but at the wolves.
" RAAAGH!" He yelled, unsheathing a sword. I spun around, trying to stop him, but he already reached them. The scarred wolf struck the man in his stomach and kicked him back. The scarred wolf tackled the man, and began biting at his throat.
" NO! STOP!" I yelled, running at the wolf, but the man's voice was already becoming gurgles. I grabbed the wolf, my hands glowing green, and yanked him back. Scarred wolf spun around, his muzzle dripping blood. It's furry hands flew up and wrapped around my neck, it's grip strong as iron. I coughed, feeling dizzy and woozy at the same time. I felt my windpipe literally breaking from the pressure. Scarred wolf laughed, his laugh sounding like drums being banged on by strong, hard hands. My vision blurred, going dark. The only thing functioning from my senses with only hearing. I…...can't…...die..this…..way… my mind raced. Spots littered my eyes, but I wasn't giving up. I lifted shaky hands clutched the wolf's throat. Then, I heard a whimper, and it's grip losing, failing on it. I felt my hands extremely warm as I landed on the ground, gasping for air. My vision came to, but it was blurry. I could see the wolf though. Burned right through it's fur, was charred skin with the shape on my hand. My throat burned, my nose was runny, my head swirled, but I was breathing, and that's what matters to me right now. Then, I noticed people running my direction, leaving the giant home. I blinked, still dizzy, but managed to stand. The Alex boy grabbed Scarred wolf and pulled him away, yelling something in another language. Scarred wolf growled in agitation, but obeyed Alex.
" You ok?" I heard a familiar voice say. I spun around, coming face-to-face with Faolon. His eyes were a golden yellow, his teeth sharp as canines ( or were canines ), and his hair a lot more shaggier that I remembered.
" Yeah, I'm fine…" I replied back, rubbing my throat.
" Ok, then follow me." he said, ducking behind some bushes. I followed smoothly, somehow knowing where rocks, twigs, and small fallen logs were. Finally, we came to a stop inside of a broken down building.
" So, why do you want to speak with me? Especially here, alone…" I muttered to Faolon.
" I wanted to speak to you about these powers you have." he replied back, pulling out a scroll ( odd ). He opened them, revealing painted pictures and words written in such amazing writing. My jaw dropped at the beauty. But toward the middle, the writing became more shaky, as if to generate fear or the person who was writing was becoming afraid.
" Read it. It'll explain all these powers you have. Then, we'll discuss about it." Faolon said, sitting down, pulling at a piece of jerky and eating it. I sat down on a random rock and began reading from the beginning of the scroll.
