Chapter 11
Bloodless fight
This was it I could finally talk to him, comfort him, help him.
I shut my eyes and for the first time I took up my human form.
I open my eyes and looked down at my self. I had black combats on which were torn and worn. The grey t-shirt I had on was also torn to shreds it had no sleeves at all. I looked back up at Max the tears still falling down his face.
All my life I had dreamed of this moment. I had spent many a night thinking of what I would say to him first, and now I could not think of anything.
I opened my mouth, and was just about to speak my first words to my brother, when a wistle filled the air. Its hollow tune making the fur on the back of my neck stand on end.
We all turn to see a man dressed in black and with a huge cross on his back. The cross was covered in a large sheet and there were many black straps holding the sheet in place.
My dream.
The man stopped and looked at us all. I dropped my human illusion.
"Hello my good wolves, my name is Nicholas D. Wolfwood, and I'm here for your lives."
Max eyes went wide and he took a two steps back quivering slightly.
"You, you touch them and I'll take you down.." max voice shock when he spoke.
Wolfwood smiled warmly at him.
"I mean you no harm kid. I'm going to take you away and give you a better life."
Max's stance strengthened, he took a step foward, fist clenched.
"I'm not going anywhere. My place is by my brothers side." he placed his hand on my side as he spoke.
I glared at this slime that was threatening to take away my brother and kill me.
"Get out of here Wood." I said icily not giving away my true anger.
I head Max gasp. Great my first words that Max heard were a threat, my blood boiled just thinking about it.
"I'm not going anywhere till you are all laying at dead and skinned at my feet," he said his voice staying cool. His smile had changed from a warm and friendly one to a cold and sinister one, and it did not suit him.
"How many wolves have you skinned Wolfwood, who I know what its like." I closed my eyes.
My memories came back to me, but the memories had no picture; just sounds and sensations.
I could hear many wolves yelping and howling in pain, and the sound of humans laughing. Then a sound that sounded like coath being torn in half. Then a loud bang, and a rattle of something heavy landing on top of a cage. Then the sensation I'll never forget. It was warm drips, then the drips became like a shower. Then that all too familiar taste of bittersweet.
I opened my eyes glaring at him.
"You demons have plagued this world for long enough." he flicked a buckle open.
There were a series of clicks. He quickly swung the cross around so the long end was pointing at us. The wind took the sheet away, to reveal a steel cross. The end opened up to show a visors looking gun barrel.
All our eyes went wide, and he smiled that evil sneer.
His smile twitched, he opened fire and we all split up heading off in different directions, but all with the same place in site.
The town.
Hige POV
Great why am I always by myself. I was running throw the alleyways of the town.
"This damn town stinks." I said sprinting down another alleyway.
The windows were all dark and empty.
Suddenly two men stood out from the shadows, guns ready.
"Shit!"
They opened fire. I jumped just in time down another alleyway.
"I hope everyone else isn't having this much trouble."
BOOM!
"I'll take that as a yes? Gun fire had opened up all around the town.
Damn it, why did we have to hang around for those two.
I ran out in to a street three humans were standing waiting.
"There's one." one man said, bringing up his rifle.
I changed into my true form and jumped at him. I dug my fangs deep into his flesh.
I'll show the others that this body ain't made up of just fat.
His neck broke, and without wasting any time I jumped at the second human. He panicked and fired, missing completely. I changed back into human form and clawed him, then knocked him to the floor.
I turn quickly, not giving the other human a chance to react. I jumped down another alleyway.
A pain was growing on my shoulder.
"Damn deer." It had stab me with its antler.
I could see the end of this alleyway. It opened out on to a street, but on the other side was another alleyway.
I can make it no problem.
As I ran across the open street a horrible burning pain shot through my back leg. Yelping, I rolled to a stop.
Aahh damn it!
I looked up to see two humans walking up to me. One had his gun pointed at me, the barrel smoking.
"Haha, you're not getting away wolf. You're mine." the man rested his gun on his shoulder. He kicked my back leg.
I yelped in pain.
Damnit this is bad.
I snarled at him, bearing my fangs. He laughed, "You're nothing dog."
Suddenly Max and Triple eight came out of no were.
Max slashed the human's throat with his knife, then spun around and dug the blade into the back of the human's skull.
Triple eight tackled the other human to the floor, and tread open the humans chest.
"You ok Hige?" Max said bending down.
Triple eight was looking around face still blank.
"Yeah it's only my back leg." I said trying hard to look like it was nothing but a scratch.
"Can you run?" Triple eight said gruffly.
I tried to get up and fell to the floor with a yelp.
"No it doesn't look like it."
"I'll carry him." Max said bending down, lifting me over his shoulder.
"It's better if you stay in wolf form, umm better not add to the weight." he added.
"Let's move!" triple eight shouted.
We started sprinting through the town, dodging humans with guns. Max was stronger then he looked. He kept up with Triple eight ok.
We ran out into a large street.
"There you are." came a voice.
BANG! "AHH!"
Max hit the floor hard, throwing me into the opposite alleyway. He stumbled in after me, and fell to the floor clutching his leg.
Max POV
Ah my leg.
"Max!" Eight ran up to me.
"You ok max? Damn it." he said, a look of horror on his face.
"It's ok it's only my leg." I said smiling weakly.
"Come out Triple eight, I'll make it quick if you come out peacefully." It was Wolfwood.
I sat against the wall next to Hige who was sitting the same way in human form, but leaning against the opposite wall.
I looked back up at Eight. He was looking out of the alley, his face stared again. Something in him had changed, his eyes were lighter. He looked down at me frowning.
"Max stay here I'm going to finish this. Wait here, don't move for nothing, ok?"
He turned and walked out into the street.
Triple eight POV
This is it no one shots my brother and gets away with it. The street was wide and deserted except for Wolfwood, who was standing at the far end his cross pointed at me ready.
I stopped, in the middle of the street looking my enemy down.
We glared at each other.
"So Triple eight, the champion dog fighter, you ready to die?" he spoke cool and icy.
"I've been ready all my life slime." I spoke the same way cool and calm.
The wind blow through the town, it kicked up dust and litter that was lying on the street. This was going to be hard, this human was fast and strong. He had been shooting at us the hole time.
He moved like that weapon of his did, not way a thing. The cross never seemed to run out of bullets, and to boot in the other end it had some sort of explosive bullet in it.
I ran at him jumping form left to right, not trying to trick him just giving him a moving target.
He anticipated my move and cut me off, Spraying bullets at me.
I saw it just in time. Digging my claws into the ground, I turned and jumped left. The bullets ripped through the building, the noise was unbelievable.
In impossible speed he turned the barrel of his gun at me again.
Bullets were flying everywhere just missing me, they were destroying everything they hit, sending debris every were.
Shit he's not letting me get close to him, damn it. I can't keep this up.
I hate fighting without my bloodlust it just doesn't feel right. I think to much and worry what might happen if it goes wrong.
There! I ran to the side of a building, I jumped onto the windowsill, then to a balcony, then at wolfwood.
I landed right at his feet, and lunged for his throat. Again with lighting speed he spun his cross in the way. It hit me hard, sending me flying.
Moon that thing weighs a ton, how does he swing that thing like that?
I righted my self in the air and landed skidding to a hault. Not giving him a moment to rest I jumped back into him. I didn't know it was possible, but I went into the fighters dance with him.
He swung his weapon, and I ducked and dodged each swing. I snapped and bit but he danced out of the way each time.
Ha! There! I bit into his lower leg, not going for a bone barker but just to get him down. I pulled his legs from under him, making him fall back. I lunged for his throat, but with his free hand he stabbed a dagger into my side.
I jumped off, and took a quick glans at my wound. There was a small knife in the shape of a cross, I bit around and pulled it out. The long end of it was wide like an arrow head.
He chuckled evilly.
"I hope that hurt demon."
"Ha, that's nothing." I said. It was a lie. The wound was deep and wide.
He jumped up and raised his cross high above his head. He brought it down like a sledgehammer, and I dodged it just in time.
Before I could get an attack of my own ready, he had come at me again. He swung his cross around, and it hit me hard across the face. He hit me with such force, I spun around and fell to the floor.
I shook my head looking up, my sight came back into focus. He was standing over me. The barrel of his cross pointed at my face. He was smiling that evil sneer.
"The end for you demon."
In slow-motion, I saw his hand tighten on the trigger. I changed into human form, and kick the front of the cross, causing him to lose balance. He fired, bullets spraying up the street.
I got to my feet in a flash, and jumped at him. I landed on his chest digging my claws in deep, tearing his suit. He got his foot under me and kicked me off. I rolled back onto my feet and skidded to a stop.
He got up. We were both bleeding badly.
"You're good demon, but not good enough. Why don't you fall? Then I can take your so called brother away and give him a better life." he was panting in-between words.
"Looking for an easy kill are you? And no. He will not go with you. His life is with me, as my life is with him." I said icily.
I sprinted at him, and jumped high into the air. He raised his cross up to meet me.
Shit.
I landed on the end of his cross. He passed supporting me in the air on the end of his weapon, like a fish on the end of a spear.
We locked eyes. A smile spread across his face.
Damnit.
Again, like in slow-motion, I saw his hand tighten on the trigger. I quickly turned back into human form, and pushed off the cross, kneeing it as I did. The cross went high, he fired. The bullet went through my human shoulder. I flipped back and landed on one knee.
Before I had a moment to gain my balance, he had swung around and hit me with his cross.
CRACK!
I flew down the street, rolling on the dirt. I rolled onto one knee and skidded to a stop. I grabbed my shoulder, the pain was immense.
Damn, I had dislocated it.
"This is the end of the line for you demon, and I mean it this time." Wolfwood said that horrbal smile spreading across his lips.
I'm sorry Max, I've let you down. I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears. I blinked them away angrily. Looks like I wont be able to see the world with you. This is what I get for not fighting with the bloodlust.
Wolfwood pressed something on his cross. A tiny red laser appeared on his weapon next to the barrel.
I looked down and sore a red dot on my heart.
Hm... this is it. Death has finally caught up with me.
"Game over wolf."
"AAHHH!!"
BAM BAM BAM BAM.
