Chapter 6: Beastial instincts, human intentions.

Jon's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock screaming in my ear. I slammed my fist down on it and it fell silent. I got up and stretched and ruffled my hair.

"That was a close call last night." I said to myself as I put on a shirt and my shoes.

I exited my room and saw that Kal's room door was open and saw that he was gone.

"Strange, he usually sleeps till nine. I wonder where he is? " I thought.

I walked down stairs and saw that Felicia was in the living room reading the morning paper.

" Looks like it's just you, me, and Kal that are staying here Jon." Felicia said not looking up.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well Victor and Rikou went back to their places and Harry is heading back to New York. Oh and by the way Kal went to go get Amy so they can go to the library about an hour ago. He said he won't be back until late tonight." she said flipping the page.

"He's going to be at the library all day?" I asked.

She then looked up and said "Jon, you and Kal slept in today. It's already 12:30. You two probably worked yourselves hard yesterday."

"Now that you mentioned it we did train for almost three hours straight." I said.

" I just hope he and Amy get to the library okay. The news said that we're suppose to be getting some bad weather later on today." she said looking at the window.

Kal's POV

I ran down through the streets of Silverstone and I kept running for a mile till I reached Amy's house. But house was an understatement. The place was an estate! For all I knew her parents had at least 300 acres of land and I saw that it was filled with oak trees. As I walked up to the estate I zipped up my sleeveless jacket and put on my black knuckle gloves . They were gifts from my mom though they were a size too big but she said I would grow into them. I knock on the door and waited for a few minutes and then a woman opened the door who looked in her early thirties who I instantly knew was Amy's mom.

"Hello, may I help you?" she said.

"Um I'm Amy's friend Kal Wilson? She and I were going to go to the library for a few hours." I said.

"Oh, you're Pam's son! Please come on in." she said opening the door all the way.

I walked in and saw that she looked like an older version of Amy. She had long blonde tied up in a ponytail, soft brown eyes and was wearing a police uniform. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise. She must of sensed my tension and gave me a warm smile.

"Don't worry you're not in trouble. I was just about to head into work. I'm not going to arrest you or anything. Why don't you come and sit down till Amy gets done getting ready?" she said.

I nodded and followed her into the living room and saw that the walls were lined with old relics and old newspaper articles. I then sat down on one of the leather couches that filled the room and while Mrs. Bradford sat across from me and I noticed a medallion hanging around her neck. It looked like a ring with three swords forming a triangle.

"That's a nice necklace. Mrs. Bradford." I said.

"Oh, thank you. It's an old family heirloom. Also did you mother ever tell you me and her were best friends back in high school?" she said crossing her legs.

"No, she didn't, but now that you mentioned it she never said where she or my dad went to school at." I said scratching my head.

She just raised an eyebrow and said " Who's you're dad then?"

" Step dad actually I never met my birth father. But my current dad is Justin Wilson." I said.

That took her by surprise and just shook it off.

"So where are you staying at ? I know that you're not with your parents." she said.

"Well my family is currently in Montana and I'm currently staying with Jon and Felicia." I said.

That one took her by surprise as well but she just smiled and said to herself out loud. "Oh she always did have him around her finger."

"Excuse me?" I said.

She looked at me and said "Back in high school she and Jon were a couple that couldn't be broken. They would always be together no matter what. In fact he would even sneak over to her house when her parents were asleep and she would do the same!"

"So what happened? If they loved each other so much why did she leave?" I asked.

"Oh you know she went to a different college and never came back." she said looking away.

"Somethings not right. Either she doesn't know which I doubt or she is hiding something. " I thought.

Before I could ask I heard Amy come down the stairs.

"Mom are you bothering Kal?" she said walking into the living room wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt.

"Oh come on Samantha, I was just explaining how his mom and I were good friends back in high school." her mom said standing up.

I tilted my head and smiled then said "Samantha?"

Amy gave a look that just said Don't you dare.

"So do you guys need a ride to the library?" her mom said.

"If it's not too much trouble. Though I can run the distant. I'm not to sure about Samantha though." I said snickering at the last part.

Her mom did the same and said "Well let me go get my keys and we'll be on our way."

When she walked out I looked at Amy who looked like she was about to take one of the old relic swords and stab me with it. Lucky for me her mom walked back in and was heading to the front door and I quickly followed behind her. We then got in the police car and she started driving to town.

Half way there Amy finally said "So what are we going to library for anyway?"

"Mrs. Bradford, does Silverstone have a history of strange creatures roaming here?" I asked.

Suddenly we felt the car swerve a little.

"Uh... Yeah but that was a long time ago. Just some myths and legends why do you ask?" she said.

I just shrugged my shoulders and said " I'd just like to know the history around here. It's one of my favorite subjects."

"Now that you mention it dad use to tell me and Jason a few of those myths. My favorite was The Wolf and the Human." Amy said.

"That always was your favorite." her mom said.

"What's it about?" I asked.

"Well it happened a long time ago back when the town was a small village. There was this woman named Sarah who hated her life cause she couldn't find anyone that loved her. Well one day she went to the river and accidentally fell in. As she was heading down the river she couldn't swim and just when she about to fall unconscious she saw what looked like a man jump into the river and pulled her out. And before she fell unconscious she heard him say "Don't worry you're safe now." Later she awoke to find herself next to a warm fire in a small cave. She looked at the mouth of the cave and saw the shape of a man walking towards her. But when the figure got closer she saw that he had the features of a wolf, a werewolf! But for some reason she wasn't scared because she somehow knew that he was the one that saved her. When he got closer she saw that he had pure white fur and one eye was a solid gold and the other a crystal blue. The first thing he said was "Are you alright?" and she just nodded her head. "Who are you?" she said. And the white werewolf just smiled and said "My name is Kalestin Calerist." And many weeks after that they fell in love and would always meet each other in the woods. But the villagers found out about this and when Sarah went to see Kalestin the villagers followed. When she meet Kalestin a villager shot an arrow at Kalestin but hit Sarah instead. Kalestin was shocked at this but before he could do anything a second arrow was shot and it hit him this time. And before the both died he smiled at Sarah and said while holding her hand "I promise, we'll be together forever in the next life." And before they died he vowed he would punish the villages for their deaths and then they died happily." Amy said.

"That's kind of sad and scary." I said.

"Yeah but it's a good story and legend has it that Kalestin's wolf soul still roams the forests waiting for his reincarnation as well as Sarah's so they can be together again. But he also plans on getting revenge. Though the legend never did say how." Amy said.

Before I could say anything the car stopped and I saw that we were at the library.

"Well here we are. Try to finish up around four. Reports are coming in saying we're suppose to be getting a terrible story later on today. If you finish early just come meet me down at the police station." Mrs. Bradford said unlocking the doors.

Me and Amy both got out and watched as her mom drove off around the corner. We then headed inside he library and as we approached the front desk I saw that the floor was white marble and the walls and doors were a dark oak or pine. I also saw that there were rows of bookshelves everywhere and in the center of the library there was a big skylight.

I then saw a man who had jet black hair and tan skin sitting at the front desk looked up from a book he was reading and said " Hello Amy, who's your friend?"

"Kal Wilson, we're here to do a little research on the history of the town." Amy said.

He smiled and said "Well the town history is down at the northwest wing you know the way. There are also computers there in case you can't find anything on the shelves."

"Thanks Mr. Martinez. Tell Markus I said hi." Amy said walking towards the wing.

I was about to follow her when Mr. Martinez said "It's nice to met you Kal. You mother is an amazing woman. Also I hope you get to stick around to met my son."

I then saw that he also had the exact same medallion around his neck that Amy's mom had. I then followed Amy down the hall to the northwest wing and we ended up at a set of wooden double doors.

"Well here we are." Amy said.

She then pushed the doors open and I saw that there was a long table in the center of the room and had in bookshelves lining the walls.

I then looked at Amy with a smile and said "Let's get started."

A few hours later...

Kal's POV

Well me and Amy search through almost an entire bookshelf and didn't find very much. I was on the computer searching while Amy was sitting at the table looking through some old yearbooks.

"Hey Kal, look I found a picture of your mom with Jon." Amy said.

I walked over and looked at the photo and sure enough it was her and Jon. Though they looked a lot younger it was still them.

"Yeah that's them alright." I said walking back to the computer.

I then decided to type in my mom's name and instantly it showed that my mom also had an estate here!

"Is this your mom?" she asked walking over with a yearbook.

"Yeah that's her." I said.

I looked closer and saw that she was wearing the same medallion that Amy's mom was wearing.

"Hey Amy why don't you go tell Mr. Martinez that we're about to leave. I'll log out off the computers and meet you out front." I said.

"Okay see you in a few minutes." Amy said walking out closing the doors behind her.

When I was sure she was gone I quickly typed in the name Kalestin Calerist and found nothing.

" Sigh, why did I think that would pull something up." I said to myself.

I then walked out and towards the front desk. I saw that Mr. Martinez was still reading that same book.

"Hey, Mr. Martinez thanks for everything." I said.

"I hope you found everything you where looking for." he said.

"Well, I didn't find much. But you get what you can I guess." I answered.

"Well there are more books to the town history that are in storage. We had a tree fall in and had to put most of them in storage. Some of them are still there, if you want I can take you back there the next time you're here." He answered back.

"Thanks, that would be great! Well good night Mr. Martinez." I said and headed for the door and as I exited I saw that it was raining, hard.

"Kal! What took you so long?" Amy said as she was standing under an umbrella.

"Sorry." I said scratching my head.

She just smiled and said "Let's head to the station and meet up with my mom."

I then grabbed the umbrella from her and held it over and said "Let's go."

And after a few minutes we were about one block away from the police station we saw three cloaked figures walking towards us. I noticed that they were Jason and his friends.

"Well hello Amy so nice to see you again." Jason said walking towards us.

I noticed that we were being led down in a dead end alley.

"Amy if it comes to it I want you to run as fast as you can to the police station and get help. Trust me this isn't going to turn out well." I whispered to her.

She just nodded her head. I then saw Jason pull out a knife and that's when I reacted. I quickly kicked Josh in the stomach and I dodged Jason as he swung the knife at me. Dal the came at me with another knife. I grabbed his arm and with a swift twist I was able to flip him on to his back.

"Now Amy run!" I shouted.

She the took off and disappeared around the corner .

"That training with Jon is really paying off. " I thought.

Then the next thing I knew I felt a sharp pain to my shoulder. I swung around knocking Jason away from me and before I could react I felt two arms grab mine and held them tight.

"You have overstayed your welcome here." Jason said getting up and wiping the blood from his mouth.

He then came towards me and plunged the knife into my stomach. I gritted my teeth as blood started dripping on to the ground.

"What the hell man? You said we were just going to scare him?" Josh said letting go of me.

"I'm out of here." Dal said about to walk away.

"No! You're staying!" Jason yelled pointing the blood soaked knife at him.

I got up and it surprised them.

"What the hell are you?" Jason said holding the knife close.

A red haze fell over my eyes and then I ran up to the first person close to me which was Josh. He pulled out his own knife and tried to stab me but missed. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it with enough force that it broke his wrist. He screams out in pain as he dropped the knife. I then punched him in the face till he fell unconscious. Dal was about to run when I jumped on him and he fell to the ground. I grabbed his a and pulled his arm back till I heard a pop indicating that I had popped it out of joint. He screamed as well and fell unconscious as well after I delivered a couple of kicks to the chest. I then turned my attention to Jason.

"What the hell are you?" he said backing up to the wall.

I walked up to him and when I was about to a foot away from him. He thrusted the knife a second time in my chest. I didn't flinch nor did I show I was in pain. But the look on his face told me that scared out of his mind. I then grabbed him by his shirt and something in me told me to tear him to pieces but I stopped I finally regained my senses. I looked down at Jason and let him go and saw that his nose was bleeding, his lip was busted, and had a black eye. I looked down at my hands and saw that they were covered in blood.

"What am I doing?" I said to myself.

Jason must have saw this cause the he then grabbed his knife and plunged it into my chest for third time and this time I felt it lodge itself in to one of my ribs. I fell to my knees and more of my blood mixed in with the rain water at my knees. He looked like he was about to finish me off when he drew out another knife but stopped when we heard police sirens.

He looked back at me and said "This isn't over."

He then helped Dal and Josh to their feet and they ran off. I slowly got to my feet and with what strength I had I removed the knife from my chest. I then started limping towards the street. My vision started to get blurry from blood lose. I then fell to my knees and saw red and blue lights flashing in front of me and before I blacked out I saw a figure running towards me and wrapped his arms around me and pick me up and that's when I heard his voice.

" Don't you dare die on me Kal!" Jon said in a strong, demanding voice.

"Jon. " was my last thought before I completely blacked out.
