Work of a monster (complete)

Chapter 28

That night as I was laying in my bed thinking I heard a cry from outside. My heart made a small jump before I climbed out of bed and Walked over to my window. As I looked out of it a hippogriff was standing there holding something in it's mouth. Out of curiousity I climbed out and Walked over to the animal giving in a pet over the head before taking the piece of paper. "What are you doing here?" I asked it knowing that these type of supernaturals don't live here. It obviously didn't answer me, it just stood there waiting for me to go away. And so I did that, I climbed back on my roof and into my room before turning back around to see the animal take a run and start flying away. "You could of have just send and owl or a bird or something." I mumbled to no one. As I opened the piece of paper I sat down sighing.

Around, all around, the dark shadows gather.
My dread grows as the stroke of death falls against my naked soul.
It mutilates me, and Darkly my blood drips to the thirsty earth.
In agony i beg forgiveness while the end of life laughs cruelly.
Now my alone my cry of mercy falls upon uncarring eyes.
This is because of you!

"Great!" I sighed. "I know I said I didn't know how to be a normal and how I was going to weirdly miss this chapter of my life but are you seriously throwing a new bomb in my face 3 months later!" I said to, again, no one.

"So you are not telling Ben or Devan anything about this?" Tyler asked as we Walked towards Darius's home. "Not untill I know what this is or what it means." "You do know this won't stop, do you?" "What?" "Everything, the mysteries, the problems! You solve one and another will come." "I know, I really do but the last one's just still so fresh it's hard to transition this fast." "Then don't transition, just forget!" "Do you think that will work?" "It always does for me." He said right before we reached Darius's house.

"Come in." He said as he opened the door. "Are you busy?" I asked as I stepped in. "Not really, is there anything I can help you guys with?" "We kinda have pretty important question." "Ask away i'd say." "I got this tonight." I said handing him the piece of paper. He read it carefully before turning around and walking into a room. We Walked after him finding ourselfs in a big study with a lot of books. "Sit!" He said as he pointed to the chairs. We did as he said and sat down. "Do you know what it means?" Tyler asked. "Well it's obviously a poem about death, and the dark words make a seperate sentence." "Dark blood drips of you." I said knowing what he meant. "Exactly." "But what does it mean?" "I am actually not eniterly sure, who gave it to you?" "A hippogriff." "A HIPPOGRIFF?" Darius spat out of suprise. "Yea, I though it was weird to, they don't live here, do they?" "No, I'm sorry Alex but this is even for me a little strange, I need to get Back-up from an expierenced warlock." "As long as someone can give me answers i'm fine!" "I wouldn't say that." Darius said looking at me with a serious expression. "If there's one thing I do know Alex, it is that death poems aren't exactly something you put on your christmas wish list."

"Okay hold up! What is a hippogriff?" Ben asked confused. "It's a horse at the back and a bird at the front, it has four legs and two wings!" "Sounds like a dragon to me." Devan said casually. "It's not, trust me." Tyler said taking another look at the piece of paper. "So this bassicly means someone wants you dead?" "Kinda, I think, maybe, I don't know." "And Darius is calling someone who does know?" "Jep!" "Good, because if there's one thing I know it is that everything you are involved in we somehow are too and i'm not exactly waiting for having a second chance at death." Ben said waving his hands around like crazy. I chuckled at his face before looking over at Tyler who too chuckled. "You guys are seriously laughing!" Devan stated also laughing. "Why not?" "Yea Devan why not?!" Ben agreed. "Maybe because we might all die again." "I said it once and i'm saying it again, I won't let you guysdie!" I said.

We all shot up when Darius Walked in. "This guys, is Raven." Darius said pointing at the old man who had long grey hair but suprisingly enough no beard or mustache. "That's a really cool name!" Ben said smiling. The Raven guy gave him a weird look before scanning all of us. "He's a warlock that should be able to help you." Darius said whilst he was doing that. "You were right Darius, this is a weird group." Raven said turning his head back to Darius. "I gave him a questioning look as he raised his shoulders. "What do you mean?" Devan asked not understanding. Raven snapped his head back not Changing his serious expression. "Mundane, bitten werewolf, two werewolfs but no alpha!" He said pointing at each one of us." Ben started slow clapping as he nodded his head. "Good job." He said but Raven just ignored him. "Alex?" He asked turning to me. "Yes?" "I respect you but I want you to promise me something before I will help you." "Anything." I answered. "We aren't dealing with child play here, so you either start now or don't start at all because there's no going back." "Starting now!" I said determined.
