Rise of Sean the Multihunter

Chapter 2 The Strange Occurrence

(Flashback Start)
Uhg more dead corpses for dinner  I thought to myself as I picked the corpse of a dead deer clean of its flesh. I then hear a twig snap from behind me and someone mutter the word ‘cac’. I decide to ignore it and go back to biting on some bones as I feel someone grab me by the scruff of my neck and pick me up. I start growling slightly only to stare into the face of a warlock……with horns? “Oi, Cyrus! Whatcha doing over there? We’re all over here man” I heard another male voice yell to the one holding me. “Ok ok. I’m on my way but I found something that might interest you guys, especially you Aria!” The one holding me yelled back, walking back to his friends still holding me. Right as we arrived with his friends, I shifted back to my human form and pouted, blood still covering my mouth. “You found a werewolf!?” A female voice screamed out of happiness and cuteness. “Yes, Aria, I did. I was looking for you three and found this little guy” the guy said, putting me down. “Big meany, you interrupted my dinner on that deer” I say while pouting. “Oh chill out. That deer was rotten anyway. We’ve got better food at our place anyways” the guy said, ignoring the fact I was starving. As I look at them, I see something I've never seen before: happiness. “We should probably introduce ourselves. My name is Alexander Blackthorn and I'm a vampire.” A guy with black hair said. “I’m Eleanor and I'm a seele,” A girl with redish orange hair said cheerfully. “I’m Aria and I’m a werewolf, like you little pup” A girl with brown hair said. “The names Cyrus and I’m a warlock” The one that was holding me said, pulling a bone out of his bag. “Why do you have a bone?” I ask the one named Cyrus. “Uh…did you not hear me when I said I was a warlock?” Cyrus said to me, setting the bone down. “That didn’t answer my question of why?” I reply back with a hint of annoyance in my voice. “I hunt my creatures for my spells and potions. I caught the creature that had this bone and I kept it. That a problem?” Cyrus asked, his voice laced with a bit of venom. “Cyrus, calm down bud” the girl named Aria said, a bit worried of what would happen. Cyrus takes a few deep breaths, pulls a book from his bag, and sits against a tree and starts reading. “Hey, little pup, what’s your name?” Aria asked me, kneeling in front of me. “Uh….I think it’s Sean” I replied, biting on the bone that Cyrus set down. “Well, if you need anything, you can come to me or Eleanor since you will be living with us after all at the Institute.” Aria said, messing with my hair after smiling. “Let's get going before it gets too dark everyone.” Alexander said, looking into the distance, seeing something the others weren't. “Ok…what do you see Alex?” Eleanor asked, going up beside him. “Idk….all I saw was something moving between the trees.” Alexander said, walking up to Cyrus and taking his book and putting it back into Cyrus’s bag. Cyrus then got up and grabbed his sheathed sword. He then looks at me and smirks “What? Scared of a blade?” Cyrus teased me, laughing a bit as he walked. I then looked up at Aria and started walking next to her, holding her hand. “Mom-.....I-I mean Aria!” I stuttered, shocked at what I just called her. “Yes young pup?” Aria replied, looking down at me, not phased at what I called her. “How long is the walk and how long have you known these three?” I asked, concerned I might fall asleep on the way. “It’s not that far and with these three, i’ve known them since I was a young pup like yourself Sean” She replied, smiling a bit.

(Flashback End)

As I got thrown into a wall, a girl with brown hair was coming back from a mission. As she looks over, she sees Cyrus dash towards me, placing a hand on my neck and choking me. She yells Cyrus’s name and Cyrus’s eyes turn back to their normal hazel color. He let go of me and backed away. The girl runs up to them and inspects me, making sure I'm not hurt too badly. “Cyrus! What were you thinking!? You could’ve killed him!” The girl screamed in Cyrus’s face, almost pushing him back. “Aria…I’m….I’m sorry…..but, he has a bounty on his head and I'm a bounty hunter” Cyrus said to Aria, looking down at the ground. Aria just shook her head and went inside. I followed in my torn clothing. Cyrus follows closely behind and says Aria’s name. “What?” She replies, annoyed. “Do you know where Eleanor i-” Cyrus says right as he gets interrupted by Eleanor tackling him, laughing. “I know it’s none of my business but….”Izzy begins to say before I interrupted her. “You're right it’s not, so leave me alone” I say as I go to a spare room to get a pair of new clothes.
As I get to the spare room I find a pair of black jeans, a gray shirt, a leather vest, a pair of black boots, and fingerless gloves. Along with the clothes I found a note from an old friend saying ‘Enjoy the clothes my friend and good job holding your own against Cyrus’ from Nyx. I smile at the note from my old packmate.
