The Wolf in Me

Chapter 13: Breaking News

1 day later.

Ethan's POV

"Hey Daron!" I shouted at him in the school during lunch. I took some food and then went sat beside him. George was with me all this time and I had to show him how saved my ass the last time he abandoned me.

"Hey, Ethan." He said. "Long time no see?"

"Ya, I was a bit busy with my training.... by the way, have you met my best human friend here? This George. He too like you loves his sister." I said.

"Yes, I've met you before, haven't I? You must be George LeClerc." I saw Daron shake hands with him. They smiled. I guess they knew each other already.

"So I take it you two have met already?" I asked.

"Oh, Ethan." George said "everyone in the school knows Daron, he's the richest kid in the school."

"Not to mention most handsome." Will said who came and sat beside the three of us, "man, if you can't see that, they your blind. All girls like him."

"Don't blame me for my genetics." Daron said blushing.

"So sad there's only one girl to who you are attracted, and that is your sister." Will said putting his hand on Daron's shoulder.

"It's a tradition," Jeor came by and said, "going back thousands of years."

"Sure," George said, "keeping your genes pure through incestuous marriages. All your genes of natural platinum blond hair and purple eyes and... wait a minute, how long do you guys live?"

"Our natural lifespan is of 400 years." Daron said "but I can live longer, after all, my great grandmother is an elf. Technically Cairdaer is my great-great-great grandfather."

"He is?" Will asked with his mouth wide open, "Well...... it's not easy to say, after all they're immortal."

"True." Daron said.

We talked a bit more, by now Daron had become my favorite person all along. Because he was wise, like an elf. He was also rich and strong, and for some reason I liked the way he looked. I'm not gay really but I liked that fact that he had no hair on his body, it reminded me... of..... myself. Just that he was WAY taller than me and had little muscles.

"Hey Ethan!" I heard a girl call out as I was looking around, it was Alice again. "Did you know that James DIED last night?"

"WHAT" All of us asked together. "How could it be?" I asked.

"James had some unknown illness and he died in a hospital." She said. I was sad on one hand and happy on the other. I mean yes he was a bully, but being a bully doesnt mean you have to die or something. And also to say, the other bully Tim died a week ago in a car crash. So now there was no one who would bully me. Hurray! I was safe.

Later at the funeral, 1 day later.

Daron, Jeor and some of the school students and teachers were the only people invited to the funeral, because he had no friends manly and had no family. So sad. I saw his father crying for the death of his only son, even I was sad. Yes he was a bully, but he didn't need to die for that.

I was sad and so were my werewolf friends, but Daron's eyes were open with some strange spark. I saw that he had no tears and instead he was looking with anger at him.

"Umm... Daron, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I feel like he's still alive, for some reason." He said.

"That's because his soul is still here. You can feel it directly with your senses, I can feel it too." I said.

"No, not that." He said, "it's like his soul has left but he has not. There's some strange magic going on about here."

"Stop joking, how can a person live without his soul?" I asked him.

"There are such people, we call them the avranamar." Daron said.

"Avrana-what?" I asked.

"I'm speaking high-draconian. Anyways, avranamar would translate to english as 'the undead'." Daron said. I got goosebumps as I heard it, if werewolves are real then so are vampires, and zombies and dragons, etc etc etc.

Hey guys, It's Jon here. I hope you like this chapter, and also.... thanks a lot lot lot @Ariador for all those fancy high draconian words that you gave. I hope I can learn to speak it.

Umm,,, yes if you were imagining James is a real person in my school (bully for sure) and no he's not dead in this world (but I wish he would be) and so well... all this story is true and Ethan is me.
