Silver Bullet

Chapter 7

I wake up the next morning really early. I shower and put on my tracksuit to take my morning jog. I head off with my IPod in my pocket and start jogging slowly listening to my favorite band Green day. All across the lawns I could hear dogs howling getting closer to the curb I could here the howling getting louder much louder. I decided to take a closer look. We all know that in  movies, taking a closer look always gets you killed most of the time but this isn't the movies. I walk towards a clearing that leads to where the howling is coming from. Under my feet I could here twigs snapping and eaves crunching under my trainers. Nature just isn't on my side is it? Getting closer, I could here the howling beginning to quiet down a bit and I finally arrive at where it was that I wanted to be and hid behind a large oak wood tree. Using the back of my IPod I could see behind me and what I saw was horrendous...

      There were three guys and their were wolves which numbers were starting to grow bigger by the minute an so were the humans. This was more action packed than Battleship! Wolves of different colors and sizes were springing up at these humans. Why the hell are the trying to fight wolves? This isn't Samson and Delilah. Hang on a minute.. These aren't humans at all, they move way too quickly and their teeth are those of.... Vampires!! No no no, I thought to myself, this can't be happening. They are somehow managing to hold off these large creatures they were so strong and their teeth were really sharp. 

    No way, I recognize one of the humans. It was the driver of the Ferrari, the creepy,weird one who got owned by Casper in the hall. That was pretty funny. What's his name again? Think Val think. I've got it his name is Jace!! Yeah, yeah that's it. He's more gorgeous than I remember. The sheen of his chestnut hair was amazing and his warm brown eyes were so tender. But the look in his eyes now are the total opposite. I notice something, one of the larger wolves that had a coat that appeared to be dirty blond looked my way. I know those green eyes from somewhere but where? I shifted in order to get the fight into better focus when SNAP!!! Fuck! Everything around me froze, my blood began to race and everyone well.. everyone and everything looked my way. I felt something, oh yeah it was just my heart in my throat and I swear i didn't eat a heart today!

       Something bad was about to happen and I wasn't about to stick around to see what it was. Immediately, I began running, hard and fast back to the clearing where I'd enter the forest. While thinking that I've escaped, two of the humans or whatever they are were on me. I crashed down hitting my head on  small rock. I felt a warm liquid draining down my face and that dreadful, metallic scent came back again and I was still lying on the ground and I could see two, large figures hovering over me. They their bodies were  blocking the sun so I couldn't see them but when they bent down I saw every detail, their pale skin, their eyes though, the color. One of them had eyes which color reflected a deep red and the other had eyes the color of medium gold and both were so beautiful. They bared their teeth and started to growl. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes, they seem to be enjoying the pain I'm enduring by the sight of them . They seem to be growing more frantic by the each drop of blood. Their pale skin appear to be sparkling. They looked as if they were about to tear into my skin but three of the largest wolves, came out of nowhere and jumped on them. Haha, their bodies are thrashing beneath these massive creatures, the contrast was amazing.  The wolf with the dirty blond coat approached me as I backed away, frightened that I'd be turned into it's breakfast. 

"Please don't hurt me." I whisper to it. Of course it can't hear me. All it did was come between my legs and sat down looking as if it wanted me to pet it. "Dumb ass. You idiot!"  My subconscious scolds me. I did just that and I could feel it relaxing more and more with every stroke. It was so cute, it's green eyes looking so familiar. I took an instant like towards this adorable creature. Interestingly enough, I could feel some sort of connection between us, it was like we could communicate telepathically somehow, it was weird. It was saying something to me. 

                                                                       * What the wolf said to me*

              Please leave, you have to go or else they'll destroy you.

  Of course I responded to it with a simple 'Okay' . It wasn't as if I could say anything else.

It purred and rubbed it's head against my thigh. I got up and ran off, not looking back at this morning events of course, I did not wish to see the bloodied arms and the bloodstained coats of those huge wolves.

        I stumbled through the doorway out of breath and jumped up the stairs into the bathroom . I moved back my hair where I could feel the throbbing. "God damn it." I mutter highly annoyed at the wound. I quickly patch it up and shower again and try to wash away the events of this dreadful morning. I still had an hour left after fixing breakfast for the family and tidying up the house only to try and forget what I just saw, felt and experienced. I got dressed for school in a khaki skirt and my red  polo. I went downstairs, my black vans in hand and enter my dad's study. He has a P.A system in here so if there was any problems or something the person who knew about it could inform anyone who was in the house at that time. It was pretty neat but I just use it to wake everyone up. Everyone was up and getting ready before I grabbed my skateboard out of the garage. I told my mom that I'd walk to school today. I wanted to get there early for some reason.

                                                                                            Casper's POV

 I've never expected to have Valerie attacked by those dreaded vampires. I swear they have nothing better to do with their lives besides drink blood from animals and humans. Poor girl, if it weren't for Kyle and the twins she would have been gone. Besides, who goes jogging this early in the morning!? "Apparently her." My subconscious adds. True. I'm not sure but I felt that connection with her again from in Biology class. It's like we can hear and read each other's thoughts and communicate telepathically but this can't be because others like myself only possess these powers and they are used only in wolf form. Could it be? The  of the prophecy of the Scandinavian Lynx once foretold that a new generation of vampires and werewolves would rise up and begin a vast war and these wolves would have to protect mankind from falling into their traps. But, the only thing is that all of these wolves would need a mate. Specifically for the seem reason of how human males need human females. For guidance. Could we be the new generation of protectors? Whatever the case is I know I have to protect Valerie; the human who I love dearly... Or at least I think I do?
