The Howling Of A Hero

Chapter 10- The Beast That I Am

    I screamed for what felt like ages. My sadness soon became anger which soon became bloodlust. I felt every inch of me fill with hatred and vengeance for the man who killed my love. Then that was when i felt the same feeling that i felt the night before when i became the wolf. Yet this time i embraced it and continue to yell. My yell soon became a howl as my skin started to break apart reveling hair.  My nails started to extend becoming claws. It was pure pain but it was pure enjoyment because i let my anger take control. i let my hatred consume me.  I became a animal. I became the beast Jack wanted. I was fully a lycan now.
       I could sense everything in this form. I could hear and smell everything. What i smelled was Death and i started to run toward the smell. The clouds above went from a dark black color to that of blood red. I stop to stare as the sky. I looked closely at the blood red sky and saw that things were falling. I sniffed towards the sky and realize its not rain that falling but its the damned i smelled creatures not just one species but all of them.  He did it he broke the Veil. It seemed it was just the Veil to the underworld so the Veil to tartarus still wasn't broken. But if he could break one veil it mean might be powerful enough to break more then just one. He could literally make a hell on earth.
       "I MUST KILL HIM" was the only thought running through my mind. I sniffed the air again to see if i could smell his scent ,but i couldn't. The smell of death was everywhere now. This was his doing he did this to delay time. I howled in frustration. As my howl died down the sound of screams rose.  But not just  one scream but hundreds. For the creatures has landed and they were having their fun. I could hear them all. Their screams. I could hear their pleas for help, so many.  I started to run again but my path was block by was a creature with a the face of a man, but, body of a lion, and wings of a bat ,with a scorpion tail. The manticore the eater of people.  It lunged at me but i ducked at threw my claws up piercing it underside. It fell toe ground bleeding.  I rip off it tail and it wings.  The smell of it blood excited me and i ran towards the smell of the next monster.
   There was a group of kids hiding underneath a car from a group of harpies. There was about six of them each about 6 ft tall half woman half bird creatures. I didn't care i jumped towards them pinning one to the ground slicing it stomach open. The others swarmed and attacked me with their talons. It felt like someone was scratching my back.  I turned around grabbed one of them im the throat with my claw crushing it, and i took a big bite out of the one making it bleed out. I was having fun. Too much fun. The other three tried to fly away but i caught one and ripped it apart with my claws.
   The kids came out and cheered in joy for being saved. I lunged toward one them pinning them to the ground. His cheer turned into a scream. But i didn't care all i wanted was blood.  I lifted my arm up to slash him with my claws but something/someone stopped me. I felt arms holding me from the back in a hug crying.
   "your better then this." the person said.  I turned around in anger ready to slash them but stopped in my track. The figure standing there was Giselle with tears running down her face.
