Crimson and Furs

Chapter Thirty Eight: Terrifying Discovery

After waiting for an hour Smith finally stood upright and dusted his shirt. He stared down at his pants and saw that some parts had been stained with blood. He couldn't help but smile a little after seeing this. If he got to the headquarters with his current appearance everyone would be believe he actually cleared out a big threat.

Well it's true I cleared out a big threat, Smith thought within himself. That monster was up to no good and was conducting a blood ritual to kill Daniel and transform him into another monster.

"The enchantment has been broke?" Daniel asked. He didn't even cover his genital region as he stared at Smith in the eyes. It wasn't as if he was naked.

Werewolves and their boldness! Smith shrugged. He was the one feeling embarrassed right now. He opened his mouth and replied to Daniel's question, "The enchantment has been broken. So let's leave here as quick as possible before another monster turns up."

I thought you destroyed everything with magic, Daniel lampooned. He nodded at Smith and said, "Okay."

Smith turned around and began walking back where he had come from, Daniel tagging behind. Except for the slushing sounds when they walked through the stream of blood, everywhere was silent.

After five minutes they finally saw a blinding light several meters away from them. They had to close their eyes for some time to shut out the light. Finally they had seen the exit out of the sewer. They were now safe in the real sense.

Smith walked out of the sewer along with Daniel who suddenly crouched and whispered, "I'm naked."

"I thought you weren't ashamed?" Smith asked as he narrowed his blue eyes.

"It's a different thing being naked in front of a Special Cop, it's another thing being naked in front of the public," Daniel blushed. "I don't wanna appear on the headlines like last time."

"I saw that news," Smith said as he sized up Daniel. "Headlines said kid was playing about in the woods."

That's not what the headlines really said, Daniel lampooned. You're twisting everything, Mister.

"XXX!" Smith suddenly chanted a spell in a strange language which Daniel didn't understand again.

I don't know why but I develope a splitting headache tryna understand this language, Daniel thought. It's so esoteric and strange.

"Your clothes being fixed," Smith said as he pointed at Daniel. He had used magic to create the same clothes Daniel had been wearing before.

Daniel looked down at his body and when he saw that he was wearing the same clothes he had worn earlier, he was greatly surprised. Stage Magicians were so powerful!

"It's part of my magic spells," Smith said with a smile as he began walking. "I can transform an illusion into reality. Well it's only temporary so you'll have to walk fast. You'd need to get home before thirty minutes elapses or you'd be riding..."

Daniel didn't listen to what he was saying as his eyes had already spotted his red sports bike. He had sprayed it earlier that day and it was glistening under the sunlight. He immediately rushed towards it and grabbed the hand bars, kissing the bicycle affectionately.

"I almost died, I almost died," he said as he hugged the bicycle.

"..."

Smith didn't know what to say. Witnessing this scene he couldn't help but feel that Daniel was a little bit delusional. Just a little bit.

"Smith!" a familiar voice yelled from their front, the owner appearing from a bend and running towards them. It was none other than Pan.

How did this guy find me? Smith's lips quivered uncontrollably as he resisted the urge to do a facepalm.
