Thorn

Chapter 4

As I run down the streets everyone runs into the building to see where the gunshots came from. I turn into a McDonalds to catch my breathe and see three cops standing to see what's wrong. I turn my head to disguise myself.

I order a sweet tea and leave the store, but I have the feeling I'm being followed. I turn down an alleyway and so does a woman. I turn and see that she is shapeshifting into an ugly creature.

Her mouth has tentacles coming out, her tongue turns into a long spike. She hops from the ground and climbs the brick wall, I run up after her.

She stands looking at me, her monstrous face send shivers through my body. As she runs at high speed towards me I move out of the way and she falls off, slamming hard onto the cement ground below. I drop my staff and it pierces her back.

As I land beside her she jumps up with the staff still in her back, she turns and tackles me against the alley wall. I kick her chest and she slams against the wall and the staff comes out the front.

I pick up the staff and twist, her head falls to the ground. I look at her head and see her mouth still moving, the blade jabs into the side of her head and she goes still as I place the staff back in the bag.

I walk down the street with my hood on my head and the backpack on. I walk into a large hotel building and as i walk up to the counter I see a tall man walk past me with three guards and I know who he is, Malachi.

I follow behind him and load into the elevator, he looks at me with excitment and I shiver at the thought of what he might be thinking. We reach the top floor and I walk out with them but turn the other way, but I can't. His guards have a hold of my arms and they take me to his room.

Malachi takes me into his bathroom and takes off his shirt, I take off my hood so he can see who i am. his face has shock as I kick him through the door. His guards run at me but in one slash there necks are slit. I slam the staff down at Malachi and it stabs into the floor, he kicks me backwards and grabs my throat. It doesn't take me long to knock him off, his head smashing into a mirror.

I pick him up and throw him into a wall, the dagger shakes in my hand before I draw back. BAM! The dagger falls to the ground and Malachi runs out onto the balcony and jumps. I run and see that he grabbed onto a helicopter that was signaled to rescue him.

I look at the man who shot my arm and I gasp. Its the man from the roof tops, I fly at him with my dagger and he grabs me. His brown hair, his red eyes, and his muscular build ditracts me for a moment before I head butt him in the face.

"Who the fuck are you?" I ask.

"Theo......Waterson." He says holding his nose. My body goes cold.
