Book Two

Outburst

I take drinks of the blood throughout the night, about an hour or two into the night nothing happens then I hear a noise. Someone tries the door and opens it and a demon walks in. I grab its throat and throw it on the wall. I look back to Fenrir and see someone about to touch him, I pounce on the demon and rip into its head and body tearing into its flesh and spirting blood everywhere. Fenrir wakes up from the blood and screams. "I woke you up. I'm sorry babe. Go back to sleep I'll get rid of the body now and you can go back to sleep." I say holding him trying to calm him down and remove some of the blood that landed on his face. I let go of him and grab the body and throw it in the hall. I close the door and sit back down and Fenrir lays in my lap again. "You're the best boyfriend in the world you know that right." He says looking at me and I smile at him, he falls asleep and I continue my watch again. Drinking the blood an hour passes before the next intruder tries. I slam him on the ground and rip out his heart and throw him back into the hall. I drain the blood from his heart and toss it in the hall with his body. I sit back on the bed and place Fenrir back in my lap and wait. No one comes for the rest of the night but the urge of blood begins to rise during the last hours of the night and I start to lose some of my sanity. Fenrir wakes up and sees me shaking and staring at nothing. "Blake you okay?" He says looking at me concerned, I snap back into reality and look at him. "Oh yea. I'm fine just zoned out for a bit there." I say and look at him, he gets up and grabs a shirt. "You ready?" I ask him and he jumps on my back, we head to the portal room and the devil watches us exit the throne room and enter the portal room. "See you after school!" I say and he kisses me, he enters into the real world and I am close to going with him but reject the idea and walk back into the throne room. "How's the curse Blake?" He asks smiling at me and I look at him and smile back. "Great actually. Killed about five people so far and has been pretty grand so far. Close to going berserk last night but I can handle it." I say and leave him, I run through the hall and get to the gym. The drill sergeant looks at me and commands me to fight someone he has personally brought in. I walk up to the demon and smile, He's only a couple inches taller but he is built. We begin the fight and I try to assess the situation trying to find a weak spot on the giant demon. He throws the first punch and I dodge it easily, I wait for him to throw another one and beckon him on. He throws another one leaving himself open, I rip at his chest pulling skin and meat back and he staggers away. "D**n, you got me good." He says and walks back to me, "Let's try that again." He says and we begin fighting, he keeps throwing the punches and I keep ripping into his body. He sweeps me off me feet and I roll away from him before he can lay into me. A group of recruits has started to circle us and chants us on. He throws another punch and I pounce onto his back and start tearing into his neck trying to remove his head, he throws me off and I get on my feet. I'm sweating and I look at him once more. I can't see a win here but I can try and dwindle him down, "Or you could howl and let me take over. I take tear him into shreds and make sure he won't walk again." The demon voice says and I agree with him. I take a step back and howl, blood starts to rush throughout my body and the thirst of blood comes back and I walk towards him. The demon who was just confident looks at me and sees how determined I am to kill him. "Hey man. Let's call a truce all right. Like we can agree on that." He says franticly and I look at him and smile. "If only I could stop myself but alas I need some blood and well you are the best source of it." The demon part says out loud and I tear into the demons flesh and rip out his heart, he looks down at the hole in his chest and back at me. I bite into the heart and rip out his throat. The blood sprays into my mouth and into some of it hits the other recruits. The group begins to turn away from the blood and I throw the heart on the ground. The sergeant sees what happened and yells out snapping me back into reality. "Blake! You were not supposed to kill him. Well you can't really do anything now. Go for a run around the gym now!" He says and I do as I am commanded. I wipe some of the blood that are on my claws on my shirt and get back in line with the other recruits after I run a lap. A couple of the recruits look at me and back away when I step next to me scared for their lives but I ignore them. We do some more training and the last 10 minutes of class we do more one on one fights against each other. No one dares to go against me so I do some pushups and some exercises to keep my body in shape. The sergeant dismisses the class and I get called to the side by him. "Blake, you have shown great strength against many opponents and I am saying is you are at the top of your class and I want to graduate you now and allow you to start being a certified guardian of Fenrir." He says and I look at him and accept the deal. "Okay, tomorrow come to the gym for the normal exercise and afterward the Devil will award you a badge and in turn will graduate from this class." He says and I leave him and walk to the mess hall. I get the same food as before and eat it just the same. I begin walking to Fenrir's room but I get stopped by Mark. "Heard you graduated from the bodyguard program already. Want to play a game as celebration?" He asks me and I turn him down. "Maybe some other time." I say and walk into Fenrir's room and wait for him patiently. "Well you had some fun today, now to ease of a bit until Fenrir gets back and we have to protect him." I say to the demon part and he groans but obeys the command. "I'm surprised you stopped after killing him." The human part says and I ignore it. I look at my claws and look for something to sharpen them with. I find a large file on Fenrir's desk and use it. Grinding down my claws making them sharper than before I test them on a piece of wood that is nearby. They dig into the wood and leave a noticeable gash in the wood. "Nice." I say and sit back on the bed and wait patiently for Fenrir. About five minutes pass and his mom enters the room with Fenrir, "Ah, I knew we would be able to find you here Blake. We have something special for you and well I'm going to leave you and Fenrir alone." She says and leaves us, I see something in Fenrir's hand and he places it on the table and walks over to me. "I know we haven't really been dating for so that long but I was wondering well." He says and grabs the box and drops to one knee. "Would you be mine forever?" He asks me and opens the box, instead of a ring it's a necklace with a skull on it with flowing blood moving throughout the skull. "Yes. A million times yes." I say and throw him into my embrace. He kisses me over and over again and I set him down on the ground. "Wow that was easier than I thought. Man I spent so much time and effort into this entire thing and it was that easy." He says and puts the necklace around my neck and I adjust it making it fit in the middle of my chest. He throws himself on me and I catch him. I spin him around and sit down on the bed, "So what now? Do we have to tell people about us, oh S**t did you tell your dad yet?" I say looking at him and he smiles at me. "Don't even worry about it. I will take care of everything, all you need to do is keep that necklace on and well stay in love with me." He says and kisses me. "Let's get some dinner." Fenrir says and I throw him on my back and walk him to the mess hall. We grab the same dinner as before and sit down. I sip the blood and look around, everyone is staring at me well at the necklace. I lean down to Fenrir and whisper to him, "So what exactly does this necklace represent?" I ask him and lean back up and scan the room again. "Well it represents a bond between to people, and on the inside it's your soul we managed to get it back from my dad and put it in that necklace." He says and kisses me. I look at the necklace once more and see something moving around wanting to get out and leave, I place it back on my chest and Fenrir nudges me and I throw him on my back and walk back to his room. A couple demons make some advancements towards us but drop back when they see the necklace and understand why their companions were killed. We get to his room without any further distractions and I place him on his bed. "How was your day?" I ask him and he looks at me like it's obvious. "What? I'm wondering how your day was unless you didn't even go to school when I dropped you off at the portal." I say and he smiles, "You got me, I never went to class today. I spent the entire day with my mom trying to find your soul and let me tell you that was the most stressful thing I've done." He says and kisses me. He lays in my lap and goes to sleep, I begin my watch. The night is mostly quiet and I spend most of the time looking at the necklace and looking deep into my soul. "Never would've thought I would find this in my life." I think to myself and someone knocks on the door my instincts kick in and I ready myself to attack the door but I hear a familiar voice that eases the tension. "Blake you in there. It's Fenrir's mom I want to talk to you about something." She says and enters the room. Her eyes are tired and I can tell she needs to tell me something then she can be at ease. "I'm here to discuss your life with Fenrir. I want to know you really do love him and when it comes down to it put your life in the way for him." She says and sits next to me petting Fenrir and looking at me. "Well I do love him that's a fact and I already put my life in the way for him every day. I just think it's a matter of time before he figures out that my love for him is larger and the way I want to protect him is greater than everything in this world." I say looking at her and she gets up. "All right that is all I wanted from you. Make sure you don't damage that necklace you have there, it's one of a kind." She says and leaves the room allowing me to continue my watch. I take sips from the blood but it seems it isn't enough for the night. I begin turning into a nightmarish beast and I notice my hairs are on edge and the thirst for blood is starting to take over. I look around the room and my eyes become more narrowed and a new vison comes into shape. I sense blood nearby and look around for it and stare at Fenrir, every part of my body wants to dig into his body and drink his body but one voice is stopping me from doing it, "Don't do it Blake. You harm him and your entire reality goes away. Look for another source or wait it out." The human part says and I listen to it and walk out into the hall making sure no one is near him. I see a demon walking towards his room with a dagger in his hand. He notices me and turns to run away but I'm much faster. I pounce on him and tear into his body blood going everywhere and once he finally stops screaming I lick up the blood and return back to his room. Fenrir is untouched and I lay on the ground, the blood from the demon has reduced the insane look of my body. My hairs start to fall down and the vision from before has gone away, about an hour goes by and Fenrir wakes up and sees me on the ground covered in blood. "The thirst got worse last night. I was so close to losing myself, so close to hurting you." I manage to spit out and I start to cry. He falls down and floats to me, he wipes some tears away and looks directly in my eyes. "Hey whatever we need to do to try and suppress this we can do it together. At least someone in your crazy head is giving you some sense." He says and wipes the tears away from my face, I look at him and kiss him. "I knew you would be the one." I say and I throw him on my back and head toward the portal room. We enter the throne room and the devil notices the soul around my neck. "Now how did you manage to get that back Blake?" He says and stops us from moving on. "I gave it to him dad. Don't worry you'll get it back once he dies and hey you might be able to get his body and put it in your trophy room." Fenrir says and he lets us go. We enter the portal room and I place him down, "Make sure you actually go to school today. I don't want you missing more class and hey once I get back from class we can hang with mark if you want." He says and enters the real world. I walk back into the throne room and the Devil looks down at me and stares me down as I walk through the room. I smile and wave to him before leaving. "You really should stop doing that to him, he is the all-powerful being in this world Blake. His word is above everyone's." The demon part says and I want to argue with him but I can't not now. I get to the gym and begin the last training session. We do some more simple things and near the end he calls me over and dismisses the other recruits. "Well congratulations, you passed. Here's your badge, wear it with pride." He says and tosses me the badge, instead of a simple badge it's a ring with a glowing red core that sits in the middle of the ring. I put it on and adjust it. I walk out of the gym and head towards the mess hall. The ring shines on any light that it hits and the few demons that pass me notice it and turn away. I get to the mess hall and get the same as always. I sit at the table and eat the meat getting blood other my body and a few drops land on the ring and necklace. I finish the meat and walk back to Fenrir's room. I walk in and lay on the bed, I take the ring off and examine it again. The middle core of it is filled with blood and it moves around when I move the ring, a skull design seems to be the shape of the ring and I put it back on. I stare at the roof and think about what people would think about me now. Memories of family pop in my head and they all turn away from me scared and frightened from my new form and I run away from them. I can't shake the thought and I shake my head trying to get rid of the thought but it keeps coming back wanting to be noticed. Fenrir walks in and sees me with my head in my hands he walks over to me and tries to comfort me. I look at him and stare into his eyes and the thought goes away for a moment and the world snaps back into reality. "Blake it's me. I'm here for you okay?" He says and hugs me. "So you said we could hang out with mark?" I say and he gets up. "Oh yea I did say that. Nice ring by the way." He says and I follow him into the hall and walk toward the pool room. We get there and walk in, Mark is sitting on a chair reading a book he doesn't seem to care about and I see Meghan leaning above him. "Hey Mark." Fenrir says and floats over towards him. Mark throws the book behind him and Meghan tries to get the book. "Finally you showed up. I was reading a very boring book and Meghan seemed to enjoy it more than me." He says and hugs Fenrir. "Well you finally showed up for another round of games Blake." He says noticing me and sees the ring and necklace I have on. "Nice bling. Didn't think you were into that kind of stuff but oh well." He says and gets a game of pool ready for us to play. He throws Fenrir and I a stick and we begin playing. He breaks first and the game begins. "So how has the curse been on you Blake. I can tell you are starting to lose some sane parts of your mind at night and well was hoping I could see you when you are bloodthirsty." Mark says and gets a ball into one of the corners and plays another turn. "Oh that, it's been fine for the most part. Don't worry I haven't lost all of the sane parts in my head." I say and he misses a shot. I walk to one of the sides and play my turn, I hit a couple into the sockets and he asks me another question. "So why do you have that necklace on Blake. Didn't really think you would wear that kind of stuff in your new form." He says pointing at the necklace Fenrir gave to me. "Well it's our way of saying we are together forever." Fenrir answers for me and I miss one of the shots. "I'm not playing, more exciting to watch you know?" Fenrir says and places his stick back in the holder. Mark lines up another shot and gets another ball into the socket. "Nice ring also Blake. Already graduated from the guard that fast. Pretty impressive only a few people have done that successfully. What did you do kill someone and feed on their insides?" He says and my turn begins, only a few balls remain on the table and I give my best efforts of getting something in and fall up short. "Actually that's exactly what I did. I was put up to fight a demon and well I kind of over did it and chewed on his heart in the middle of the other recruits." I say and his turn starts. He lands the remaining balls into the sockets and we move straight over to poker. Meghan finally joins us and deals the cards to Mark and I. She places a card on the table and the game begins. I get a bad hand but play with it anyway until I see Mark's smirk and I fold. Meghan deals another hand and we continue playing. "Make sure you don't lose that ring Blake. Try not to tear into it for the blood either. Trust me it is not worth the effort." Mark says and I play with the hand that was given to me. No one makes conversation while we play, the game gets intense when we get good cards. Last hand, I have a royal flush and I play with it. I see Mark starting to sweat and becoming more nervous than before. Meghan places more cards down and ends the round. We show the cards and I win the round. Mark stares at my cards and I stare back at him. He's confused about how he lost and walks away from the table. Fenrir hugs me and kisses me. "Wow you actually won against Mark. Don't let it go to your head, he's a sore loser and well if he could he would try and kill you." Fenrir says looking at Mark who's sulking in the corner of the room. "So that was fun. Want to get some food now?" I ask him and we head towards the mess hall. We get some food and enjoy it, I survey the room every so often and pushing away any demons who get a bit too close to Fenrir. We walk back to his room and I take a few swigs of the blood as we are walking to his room. I open the door and notice a box on the bed, "Let me open it first okay?" I say to him and walk to the present cautiously and open it. A small bear is in the box and I take it out, sniffing for any harmful materials and throw it to Fenrir after I give it the okay. "Guess you got yourself another lover. Huh." I say and open the letter that is at the bottom of the box. It reads, "This is a bear that you had since you were a babe. You lost it but really I took it away to allow yourself to grow. Finally, I have given it back to you. May you never lose it again." Signed by Fenrir's mother. "Apparently you had this since you were a kid." I say and see he's crying at the memory of the bear. I walk over to him and wipe away some of the tears and hug him. "I thought I lost it. It was with me since I was a kid." He says and I sit him on the bed. I hug him for a while making him feel some comfort and he stops crying. "You should probably go to sleep though. I don't want you to see me tear into anybody or even turn savage throughout the night. Okay?" I say and kiss him on the check. He lays down holding the bear and going to sleep. I begin the night watch and wait for the monsters to come out or a new me to show up.
