Chapter 9

Eddie's P.O.V
I walked with the young ones, well Lucas, Mike, Will and Dustin, on our way to the hellfire club meeting. We walked down the halls, and to the meeting spot.  I sat down on my Dungeon Masters throne, setting up the blinders so no one could see the plans, everyone else taking their seats at the table. They grabbed out their character sheets and pencils. "Ok. Is everyone prepared to head into battle?" I said, starting up my dramatic flare, everyone cheered. I laughed and continued on with the campaign. As we continued I got thirsty, thirsty for blood. I coughed a few times to cover up the growling, I grabbed my flask and downed the animal blood inside, quickly licking my teeth and fangs to avoid suspicion, unfortunately that didn't go unnoticed. "You alright over there Eddie? Are you getting sick?" Gareth asked. I quickly hid my fangs, licking my teeth from the remaining blood. "O-oh yeah, sorry I had a little tickle in my throat, all good now." I said lying, forcing a smile. Gareth smiled back. "Now where were we? Ah yes." I continued.

As the game reached its climax I heard a soft growling, I looked over to Dustin, he was breathing heavily. I saw his fangs exposed and he looked up to me desperately. I softly nodded and handed him my flask, he nodded in appreciation, mike was about to speak up but I saw Dustin whisper to him. Mike immediately shut up and allowed me to continue. "Eddie why did you let Dustin drink from your prized flask? You never let anyone drink from it!" Jeff pointed out. I panicked, I didn't know what to say, luckily for me Dustin spoke up. Thank god his fangs were gone and the blood was cleaned off, otherwise that would've been way harder to explain. "I-it's a special tea! And I started to have a small cough so Eddie let me have some! No biggie!" He quickly winked at me and I smiled in appreciation. "Alright no more distractions! This ends tonight." I started up the dramatic flare again.

The campaign ended and everyone triumphantly cheered. We all exited the building, my friends went to their cars and were able to go home, but not us, of fucking course we couldn't get off scott free, the basketball team approached us. I told Dustin and the others to get behind me. "Oh lookie here boys, it's Eddie the freak Munson. He's been found." Andy taunted. "Yeah yeah, I've been back for a month so what was the hold up, didn't wanna see me?" I taunted back. "Sinclair, I can't believe your actually with these satanic worshipers, Jason wouldn't appreciate being lied to." Chance said, taking a stab at Lucas. "Well I don't care, he's the entire reason that Eddie was targeted and for Max's coma. You guys do more harm than good." Lucas countered. Andy was about to punch the poor kid so I stepped in. I grabbed his hand midair and twisted his arm, he let out a cry of pain, I laughed coldly. "Don't you ever try to hurt one of my members, you have no idea who your messing with." I said darkly. Dustin put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down, I relaxed a little so I wouldn't go nuts. "Your a psychopath. You know why Jason isn't here?! He said he didn't know who we were and what he was doing here, so his family moved away. We don't even know why, but I do know that your behind it somehow Munson." Andy jabbed his finger at me, I repressed the anger as much as possible, I let out a dark growl. "You have no idea what Jason has done.  You have no idea how much of a monster he has been." I said, saying his name as if it was poison. I fell to the ground, someone punched me, and I wasn't going to take it.

I stood up, wiping the blood from my nose, I looked to the younger boys. I told them to follow my lead, Dustin especially, then I looked to the basketball team. "You wanna get me? Fine, then COME AND GET ME!" I screamed as I ran into the woods behind the school, I didn't want anyone else to see what I was about to do, the younger boys keeping up with me. The basketball team telling me to stop as I ran. I abruptly stopped as I reached the old picnic table, the boys stood beside me and the basketball team close approaching. "Ok when they come, I want you boys to go hide, wait until I give the signal to come out. Dustin if I need backup I want you to become a wolf and howl to Steve, hell if they find you just attack. Got it?" I said sternly. They all nodded and hid behind a large enough tree. I stood my ground as the basketball team approached me. "Where are your little sheep? We'd like to play with them too! So where are they Munson?" Chance scowled. "Why should I tell you? I'm the one you want, so come and get me!" I challenged them. They looked at me evilly. "Fine then, we can settle for just you." Andy said. They charged at me, I smirked and willed my wings out, I flapped them so hard they soared over the picnic table and tumbled to the ground again. They looked at me with utter horror. "What the fuck are you?" Andy spoke up, his voice laced with terror. I laughed evilly. "I'm your worst..." I started, I unsheathed my claws and my long tail emerged, snaking around my ankles, my fangs grew in and my ears pointed. The very familiar red lens covered my eyes, my vampire eyes. I looked up to the team with utter hatred. "Fucking nightmare." I finished.

They started to grab their weapons hidden on their uniforms. "You...you DEMON SPAWN! YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR CRIMES!" Chance screamed. "Ha! I will not be dying again! Try it! Try to kill me!" I challenged again. They ran up to me, I easily dodged their attacks, using my wings to soar above their heads and using my tail to trip them. I commanded all the local animals to come to my aid, and a swarm of animals soon came running, I watched as they mangled the basketball team douchebags. I flew down to the ground, one of them came at me again, so I became a small bat and flew around them, taunting them. "He's too powerful! Andy we need to go!" Chance pleaded Andy. I became myself again and perched on the picnic table. "I agree, leave now and I won't take away your memories, like I did with Jason." I taunted. Andy looked up to me, a determined look on his face. "Oh we aren't giving up, not until your dead!" He shouted. He grabbed out a wooden stake and a jar of garlic. He dipped the stake in it and charged for me, I almost laughed at how stupid he was being, but I gasped in shock. The stake stabbed my shoulder, missing my heart but just above it. Shit, no no no! I can't die again! I growled in pain, I fell off the table and saw Dustin and the others as I lied there. Dustin screamed out my name, only then was replaced by his wolf form, the last thing I heard was a sharp cry, a howl filled with emotions piercing the sky. Then my world faded to black.
