A Hybrid's Purpose (A Dave x John Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

I finished walking the perimeter of the forest roughly an hour after starting. The sun was almost unbearably hot, and I got to the point that I had to remove my sweatshirt and even my t shirt, only wearing my undershirt and pants now. I kept the clothes with me however, as the temperature of the night was unknown. Though the clothing wouldn't provide much insulation due to the rips and holes in them now, it would be better than nothing. My next call of action would be food. I was practically starving, only eating the non-nutritional slop they managed to pass off as food. I let out a soft sigh. I didnt know what they were up to, the people behind this sick testing.

"Better get moving..." I muttered to myself, going into the thick forest infringement of me. It would be inevitable that I wouldn't be able to find where I entered from again and I would soon be at the mercy of whatever they had instore for me inside the green. I began taking iin my surroundings imediantly, eyes scanning over ever plant, tree, and moss. I began to think on what I knew could be safely eaten and what couldn't. Meat was an obvious, and in a forest I was bound to find some sort of game animal. But being as there were game animals, there had to be predatorial animals to hunt them- at least if they were sensable there would be. Which at this point I believed them to be. I paused upon seeing my first proof, a timberwolf standing ptotectively over a carcus of a deer. I heard a soft growl and watched its ears lower in a defensive stance, to which I lowered my head. To demons, lowering of the head meant a peaceful gesture; a message to say they were passing through. Perhaps this meant the same to the four legged animal aswel. Perhaps it did. Perhaps it didn't. I would never know the answer, for I kept my head down as I passed the creature by.

Maybe it didn't see me as a threat. I took in account my appearance; it seemed logical. I was scrawny and pale, and my claws were cut to a dull round shape. My eyes had dark bags under them that made me almost seem dead. My hair was a matted mess that stuck together with a glue made from sweat and blood. I smelled rancid of an odor that resembled body odor and rust. Perhaps the wolf saw me as prey for a later date, and once again that reality wouldn't surprise me. If I knew anything from my time on earth, it was that the world was every living thing was on a dog-eat-dog diet. It was eat or be eaten; kill or be killed. And it was an unavoidable reality.

I came to yet another stop, my eyes trailing over a small fearing with small animals such as rabbits and squirrels. Towards the left was a small stream with a deer drinking from it, to the left was deep dark thicket where the glowing predatorial eyes of a fox could be seen, along with it's alert swishing red bushel of a tail poking out enough to barely see. How was I to hunt on such an empty stomach? I could hardly stumble about. I moved out into the clearing, eyes trailing around once more before closing. I was exhausted. I needed to gather my wits. The area seemed safe enough, at least to rest for a bit. I laid back, a hand covering my closed eyes.

"4ND, H0W 3X4CTLY 4M 1 T0 H3LP, SCR4TCH?" I asked, humming a little as I leaned back in my seat.
"That would be simple, you and the highblood would-" he began, but I raised a hand to interior him.
"Y0U M12T4K3 M3 F0R 20M30N3 WH0 W0RK2 W1TH TH3 L1K32 0F H1M." I jeered, standing and moving to the window I looked out of. I took a deep inhale to gain a sense of my surroundings, but my nostrils were invaded by an odor much more foul- grapes and bleach. What a hideous combination...
"I aInT To pArTiCuLaR AbOuT WoRkIn wItH YoU EiThEr, sIsTeR." I listened to the gravely, flunctioning voice, my nose stinging from the foe grape smell.
"HMM TH3N L3T2 23TTL3 TH12 BY S4Y1NG W3, HM, D0NT W0RK T0G3TH3R?" I cocked my head to the side with a bow.
"ENOUGH! I will NOT play these childish games Pyrope. You and Makara WILL work together, and you will find Lalonde AND Crocker! DO I make myself CLEAR?!" The omnipotent one snapped furiously, gaining a mid from myself.
"YoU GoT It bOsS MaN." The makara replied, shrugging his shoulders. I let out a soft sigh, rubbing my temples.
"Y0U D0 42 1 24Y, G0T 1T?" I said sternly.
"SuRe tHiNg lIl mOmMa. hOnK." I could hear his smirk, more importantly I could feel his disgusting tongue along the shell of my ear before he sauntered out.
"TCH... H1GHBL00D2..." I shuttered before following him out of the starch males office.
