The Protector

Chapter Two: Surprise Party

And there he was. Standing, looking as though he was a broken animal, extending his hand out to her as though he was seeking her help yet knowing there was simply nothing she could do to save him. " Jack?" She gasped at the sheer sight of him. Why was he here? What was going on? Was he the one who was causing the loud noises? All of these questions are ones that Kara could never simply know, all she did know, was that she had to go to him. Kara began taking steps foward towards Jack. But after only a few steps, she heard what seemed like a loud growl of sorts. And without warning, the large dark animalistic figure with thick black fur jumped out from behind the hedges separated the yards and latches its oversized jaw and razor sharp pearl colored teeth deep into Jack's neck, throwing him to the ground with ease.
Kara, was shocked in the moment. She felt so helpless. What could she do? What was she even seeing? Could any of this be real? " No!" Kara screams. " This has to be a nightmare" Kara thinks to herself as she rushes to the aid of Jack after picking up a piece of asphalt from the crumbling street beside her. She wasn't sure what she could do but she knew she had to do something. And it was before she could even have a second thought when she crashed the piece of street into the large creatures back. The creature, without loosening its grip around Jack's throat, turns back to Kara and this is when Kara could finally decipher the creatures identity. It was a large Black Furred Wolf. With deep and bright Golden eyes that almost looked similar to a solar Eclipse with giant black circles embracing the golden rings surrounding it.
" Let...let him go you freaking mongral" Kara yelped as she stared into its eyes, trying her best to not show her fear though deep inside, Kara had never been more terrified of anything in her life than this creature. She stared into its eyes for what felt like hours, waiting for it to do something. Anything. But it refused to loosen its grip. Kara refused to look too far down though. She could not bare the sight of the carnage this monster had wreaked with its mouth. And whilst it seemed far too long had passed, the creature with the golden eyes dropped its prey and turned its attention to Kara who froze in place. So much so, she had not realized she dropped her weapon in fear of what it was planning to do with her now.

" You are the most frustrating girl on the planet, you know that?" The creature spoke. This left Kara speechless. This creature could talk? In perfect English? How could this be? Is this a Demon of some sort? What in the world is she even looking at? " Why..why would you do that..why would you do that to my friend..to..Jack.." Kara muttered out, this is all she could manage even though she felt hopeless in expecting any sort of logical reason coming from the creature.
" Because he was going to kill you if I had not intervened. And I would like to add, he was not your friend. You two never really spoke more than a couple of words to each other in passing" This snapped Kara back into reality at the sheer audacity of the creature. " What the hell do you know? How would you know? You don't know me. You don't know him. What the hell is wrong with you? Jack was not trying to hurt me. He was probably trying to save me From your crazy ass before you killed him " Her confidence was bursting out of her and she could not stop even though she knew speaking in this tone could very well cost her, her life.
" Sure. Okay. Do you even know who Jack really is? Because I would highly doubt that you do" The wolf looks down to Jack's face, his eyes still open and his neck looking rather broken. " If you don't want to believe me, then perhaps you should check his mouth. He isn't even human. He is a vampire" The creature snaps at Kara who refuses to look down at Jack's body. There is no way her body could stomach the sight of him.
" What the hell are you talking about? There are no such things as vampires except in movies. And even then, they are super cheesy " Kara responds to the Beast. " Look, I don't really have the time to explain all this to you. And you are not going to believe me either way. Why don't you just go Home and tell your mother that the time has come for you to come home" he snarls at her which makes Kara take a few steps back. " M..mom " Kara continues backing away. " How do you know my mother..what do you mean? " Kara is more confused than ever. How could this creature possibly know her mother? What did he mean by ' come home'. None of this made any sense but she knew she needed to get home. She couldn't stand here with this creature and maybe if she got back home she could call the police and report what happened to Jack. Kara begins running home as fast as she can and bursts through the door where she finds the house completely dark. As she makes her way through the house, she calls to her mother but there is no reply. That is until she reaches the Kitchen " Thud" the sound of a light switch flips on and Kara is blinding by the kitchen light " SURPRISE" a few dozen voices scream loudly.
