Dragon's curse

chapter fifty

It hurts, why does everything hurt and I still can't seem to wake up. I am trying so hard to wake up but I just can't seem to open my eyes, it's like I am not in control any more.

Shain stood silently in fear of the wendigo and in anger that Ann ran over to Jaff even when he showed them that he wasn’t even human. Ann fidgeted with her fingers as she watched Shain stair out the window and watched as the fight continued. Fear slowly built up in Shain as he watched Jaff lay on the ground in pain while the wendigo stood only a few feet from him, for a moment, he felt pity for Jaff.

“Shit.” He said in frustration and anger.

Ann asked in concern, “Jaff isn’t going to make it is he?”

Shain replied while looking away from the window, “It doesn't seem like he is going to make it.” 

Ann instantly said through frustration and tears, “I can’t take this any more, we hide in our houses like scared little animals and scare other nice people that are monsters.”

“Ann, we do what needs to be done to survive.” Shain said blankly as he looked at Ann.

Ann stood in silence for a few minutes by the doorway, she then quickly said in anger, “I am not sacrificing Jaff so that we can live another day!”

With those words, she quickly walked out of the room and out the back door that sat in the back of the house. Shain sighed as he grabbed his shotgun as he started to walk out of the bedroom as he walked down the steps, Shain thought to himself, as much as I hate monsters, I know Ann is right though. He quickly went out the front door of the house while shutting the door behind him, Shain instantly ran over to Jaff and stood in between him and the wendigo with his shotgun aimed. 

The wendigo said, “Well, well, well. What do we have here? It looks like I will be able to have a dessert after all.”

Shain stared at the wendigo intently while shivering in fear of what might happen next. Suddenly, Jaff screamed in pain as his skin changed from jet black to a pale white color and instantly his two vampire-like teeth fell out of his mouth while being replaced with what looked to be human-like teeth. There was a loud popping sound like his bones were repasishening themselves back to the way they were before he transformed for a second time. Jaff clenched his fists into a fist tightly as his bones lowered back into place while his skin loosened back into a normal human skin and the pain was so intense as Jaff felt like he couldn’t move a muscle. Jaff breathed heavily as he noticed that his claws were slowly shrunk back into his original claws but his wolf-like ears and tail were not disappearing like they usually did. He instantly passed out from exhaustion and from the pain that filled him because of the transformation. Shain slowly looked around to see that every house was pitch back with no lights to be seen, there was a light breeze in the air as he waited for the wendigo to say something to him.

After a few more seconds of silence the wendigo said in annoyance, “That’s it, as much as I like standing here, I am growing bored of this little game, so I think I will take Jaff.”

Suddenly, it was as if time had slowed down as Shain watched helplessly as the wendigo grabbed Jaff by the head and lifted him into the air effortlessly. 

The wendigo said to Shain in a stern tone, “Don’t even bother moving, you are frozen for a little while.”

He quickly carried Jaff over to the street until he was only three feet from Shain and dangiled him in the air as if he was a doll in front of Shain to show him what he was doing.

“So, this is the creacher that you chose to protect? A cross breed between a werewolf and a vampire, but I have to admit, he is pretty strong for a half breed, why is that?” The wendigo asked with delight.
