Noir Verta | Dan and Phil fanfic

Chapter 26: Once a dream- Always a nightmare

Dan walked down the sidewalk, pacing himself as his thoughts lingered of how hot it was and the fact that Phil shooting him was only a dream, actually more like a nightmare. He decided to wear his usual black attire even though it was hot as hell outside. Dan didn't want any of his skin exposed, he even contemplated wearing his hoodie or not.

He felt safer covering everything up from head to toe while he was surrounded by people, humans, not of his kind. Dan felt as if he was going to suffocate as he opened the door of the diner Jack had asked to meet him at the night before.

"Order up! Denise get me those flapjacks!"

Dan watched the hustle and bustle of the waiter and waitress' trying to get each plate to their appropriate owners. He gulped slightly as he walked up to the counter and tapped on his jeans.

"Excuse me, have you seen an Irishman come in here, maybe he's sitting alone?" Dan asked kinda shy.

He was actually feeling horrible that day, he was nauseous, tired and his body ached from the heat and all Dan wanted to do was escape the world he was forced into and find happiness. The wolf wanted out, it wanted to be free. Dan knew he wasn't the wolf and that he'd never be. He may be a werewolf but he didn't care what Jack or any other Lycan's said, he was more human or at least that's what he wanted to be.

"He's over there SweetCakes!" She said in a New York accent.

Dan nodded and walked past her until he found Jack sitting by the window, his hand placed gently on his face as he looked outside. His other hand held his coffee cup as Jack took a couple of sips when he spotted Dan walking up to him, which made him turn his head as he watched Dan sit across from him.

"So, how are you doing, feeling any better?" Jack asked.

Dan shook his head, "No, not really, I feel tired, sick and I had this horrible nightmare."

Jack intertwined his fingers and coked his head to the side wanting Dan to continue. Dan scratched the back of his neck and sighed deeply. His body ached and pained but he couldn't let Jack see the torment in his eyes, the bleakness in his soul and the black circles under his eyes.

"Phil.....shot me."

This made Jack cough in his hand, he understood, but didn't want to say anything.

"Can we talk about something else like how Mr.Redwood was your beta?" Dan asked as he decided to take off his jacket and put it on his chair.

Jack sighed, " It's a long story but I think we have time; a couple years ago I became an alpha and there are only 2 ways to become one, you either kill the one who turned you or picked by the high society like I did. Anyway, I was looking for my first beta and I had taken a morning stroll through the woods, that's when I spotted him, a young man about 17 years old with dark hair and small physique, I knew that he'd be the perfect, so I turned into a wolf that very night and bite him, but what I hadn't realized is that him and his family were only vacationing here and were living in London, so he couldn't be in my pack."

"How did he turn into an alpha, he didn't kill you?" Dan asked as a lady came over and handed Dan a menu which he took graciously and began to look at.

"Obviously, I'm not sure, he could have been picked by the high society.....or."

Dan shook his head, "Or?"

Jack bit his lip, "He could have stolen it."

Dan bit into his burger and chewed it slowly, the wolf hated the taste of the gristle and cooked meat but he didn't care, he was hungry.

"If a beta is stupid enough he or she can steal the alpha power without having to kill or be chosen, it's rare and always backfires, I saw James while I was in London, kept an eye on him, saw what he had done but I couldn't do anything to stop him."

Dan shook his head, "How did he do it?"

Jack looked down at his cup, "He..... used a malicious spell on this great and powerful alpha, she was excellent, born a wolf not made. If you two head to Boston you can always go talk to her, she has a best friend who is psychic maybe you can get a reading as well."

Dan nodded, "Sure, me and Phil would love to go talk to her, at least I do. I want to learn more about my alpha, ask her why I was brought into all this."

Jack nodded and stood up, he paid for his and Dan's meals and left without saying a word, leaving Dan sat there until he got up and left as well.

In the dark hall where the Youtuber party was held, Mark paced back and forth in frantic anguish while Dan and Phil performed that stage show a couple blocks away.

"That stupid, idiotic, pointless Lycan, I just want to end his stupid wolfie life once and for all. Why are we just asking him where James is? He doesn't know so let's just kill him before he becomes like his alpha!" Mark yelled in annoyance.

"Patience! we'll kill him eventually, we just have to keep asking Dan until he leads us to his alpha then we can get rid of James and his pathetic beta's once and for all." said a dark figure.

"I love how you kill the guy's sister then you want to end him and his beta's, what is with you vampires."

Mark turned around and spotted Harry walking up behind him, his arm crossed.

"Aww Harry, it's good to see you again, I could have sworn you hated Mr.Redwood as well."

Out stepped a tall man in a white suit, his blonde hair glistened as he chewed his cigar slowly.

"Hello, Mr.Madison and yes I do hate him but I don't think it's right for you to kill him and his beta's when they are innocent."

Mr.Madison laughed, "That man stole a very important item from us, none of those flea ridden mongrels deserve to live."

Harry snorted loudly walking up to Mr.Madison and sighing deeply, "I know he stole that rare scroll from you but does everything have to end with death?"

"You High Society members are so full of it, you're the ones that let it happen!"

Harry shook his head and sighed deeply, "You know we had no control of what happened to Aisha!"

"We can't just let him live, he has killed way too many people." Mark interrupted making Harry look back at him.

"Fine, but leave his beta's out of it."

Harry started walking away when he was stopped by Mr.Madison's words.

"We just can't let Lester and Howell live."

Harry turned around, "The human and beta, I thought we agreed to only get rid of James."

"That human is going to become something, something we don't want and as for the beta."

Harry stopped.

"Well, let's just say... he's the one who causes it."
