Monday December 20th 2034. We were all walking back from a fun day at the mall when all the sudden out of nowhere we heard this high pitch scream protruding from an alleyway ahead of us.
"Should we go check it out?" Vanessa whispered. I glanced at her and looked at the boys.
"I don't know.....that scream sounded pretty bad maybe we should ignore it and walk back to our houses." Brandon replied. Huh. Normally Brandon is all tuff and outgoing and yeah I'll admit it a bad boy. i glanced over sat Brandon and could almost see protectiveness radiating off of him.
"Okay then, let's hurry." I said my voice shaking alittle. Brandon started to walk away holding Vanessa. We all stopped in our tracks as another blood curdling scream filled our senses. Jason growled deeply which was surprising. Why is he growling? He isn't a dog... I stared at Jason my confusion clearly showing on my face.
"Uh....Jason...you ok?" I managed to stammer as Jason began to shake violently. I looked at the others frightened.
"JACE SNAP OUT OF IT." Brandon snapped angrily at Jason. Jason stared at Brandon growling deeper his eyes practically filled with rage.
"Why don't you. A v is feasting in our territory." Jason snarled back. I glanced at the alley my insides feeling like they set fire and ran into lava. My head moved rapidly when I heard an ear splitting howl and instead of Jason there was a big black wolf standing right in front of me.
"W...Where did j...Jason go?" I stammered, fear slowly clawing its way up forcing itself to be recognized. The wolf stared at me and slowly walked toward me, I think I screamed.
BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thrown backwards, the breath I had managed to take in escaping my lungs, my head banging hard against a solid surface. My vision began to blur my surroundings grew hazy.
"CASSY" a deep voice boomed, I couldn't answer or identify who called my name something warm and wet trickled down my face. I struggled to sit up and peer past my hazy vision. Noise was everywhere. So many screams of pain and big bangs filled the air. I also heard growls and laughs maybe even hisses. Hisses? What hisses? I felt something cold and solid grab me and lift me into the air.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Someone tackled the person that was holding me and I fell with a loud THUD!!! Pain exploded everywhere, there wasn't a place in my body that offered relief. Everywhere was a white hot pain. I felt a tug. It seemed to promise an end to the pain but it also seemed to have a greater consequence, one that I may regret, I decided to fight the tug. Darkness had just started to win the eternal struggle, when I was lifted up roughly and torn from the semi-conscious state I was in into a world of pain.
"W....What is go-..." I managed through gasps of pain and I was interrupted by a new painful sensation in my neck. To imagine how this felt imagine standing in a furnace that is a thousand degrees just in one small area of your neck. I wanted to sink into freezing water just so that the burning would end I believe that I gasped or made some noise because I was harshly dropped. I was vaguely aware of someone talking to me.
"Hang in there Cass" I struggled against the feeling of blacking out, this was not without a consequence. The burning is relentless burning me from inside out I would snap at any moment. Please I thought please just let me escape the burning relief however did not come.
"Come on..." a deep growl filled the area and I was picked up yet again this time the person who had me took off running, and at a pretty fast speed. The pain started to go away but the burning only seemed to grow hotter and spread. It was unbearable, at this point I wouldn't mind death, it would be so easy to just give in to the darkness to just let myself float and be in no pain. The speed increased and I was almost thrown from my captors grip. I heard a deep male voice mutter a few curses.
"CASSIDY DUCK YOUR HEAD!!!" I quickly lowered my head to the ground feeling utterly defeated and I was in so much pain. Wouldn't it just be easier if you gave in to the darkness? I pondered on that thought.
"Please Cass please be ok please" a familiar male voice said and I was lifted up once again.
"Oww please be careful" I muttered, my voice sounded so far away and so hoarse that I could not believe that it was my voice.
"What do you mean Cass... you're in the bed room.." the bedroom? How did I get in there? I thought vaguely and I opened my eyes again the pain starting to vanish but in its place was an exhausted feeling almost like the way I felt when the blackness was fighting for my attention.
" o...oh" I said quietly feeling utterly tired and dead. He gave me a cold glance as he was letting me know, that if I even close my eyes for a second he would slap me awake. I ignored his glare and closed my eyes. This is so much more painless. I was jerked up roughly and I heard someone say something.
"Cass?!?!?" Jason nearly screamed my head off. "DO NOT die on me" his voice was filled with despair. I couldn't answer of even look at him the pain was paralyzing all I could do was listen.
"Cass please no please." Vanessa said crying.
"Ok guys Cass is no longer a regular she has seen too much and been through too much she is changing, we must help her survive in her new form. Cass if you can hear this I'm sorry we couldn't save you." Brandon said voice sounding like he was close to tears. Brandon never cried. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs or ask why they were all crying. I wasn't going to die I was too stubborn to. A tremendous pain shot through me and the last thing I heard was "no her heart..."
