Werewolf High School

Chapter 20: The Power

I woke up in my bed. I felt a bolt of energy run through my veins. I felt happy, I felt amazing, I felt...hungry. A hunger I hadn't felt since I was first bitten. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. I ran straight to the kitchen and I nearly ripped open the cabinet door. I grabbed a box of Trix and ripped open the top. I poured the the cereal in my mouth and went to grabbed milk. I opened the cap and poured it into my mouth with the cereal.

When I looked over at the living room, I saw Dad and Uncle Howls staring at me. I put the milk and cereal back and walked over to them. I jumped over the seat and landed on it. "So, what's up," I asked. "Nothing, other than the fact you've been sleeping for 2 days straight," Uncle Howls said. I jumped from my seat in shock. "What do you mean," I asked. "I mean that you've been asleep for.....2...days....straight," Uncle Howls repeated. I rubbed my forehead in shock. 2 days. I can't believe it's been 2 days. Wait a second. JESSICA!

"Have you heard anything about Jessica," I asked. Dad and Uncle Howls both looked at each other with the same nervous look on their faces. When they looked back at me, Dad handed me a photo with some writing on it. When I saw the photo, I was steaming. It was Thanatos holding Jessica by her face while kissing her. She was struggling to escape him. I could tell by the way she looked into the camera. I flipped over the photo to the other side and I read the writing. "85 Apple Street. You have 3 days. Hurry Nicky. Don't keep us waiting."I threw the picture on the floor. "When did this get here," I shouted. "The night you passed out," Uncle Howls said. "So I'm going there today," I demanded. "Alone." I walked upstairs and grabbed my jacket.

I was nearly out of the door when I heard Uncle Howls say my name. "Take these," he said. He handed me 2 duffle bags and told me to look into them. When I opened one I saw multiple knives, daggers, and a gun next to a few boxes of silver bullets. "How did you get all of this,"I asked. "Your mother wasn't just a werewolf," he said. "During our war with vampires, your mother was the best warrior in our pack."

I opened the other bag and I saw the same sword that I saw Mom's sword. I glistened as I pulled it out of the bag. It had Mom's symbol. The black tooth with red tip. I grabbed everything and geared up. I looked like I came straight from an assassin movie. I walked over to Mike and Amy's house. There's a chance i'm going to die tonight. At least I can say my last goodbyes.

I knocked on the doors. No answer. I knocked again. No answer. I knocked one more time but, this time the door slowly opened. I walked inside to find that no one was home. I say a note on the fridge. "I was thinking that Jessica wasn't enough. You took my wife's life. Now I will take your friends' life. Don't worry about the parents. They're on a vacation." I cursed aloud and I ran out of the house.

I got to the house and I told Uncle Howls what happened. "We must hurry," Uncle Howls said. "The time has come to end Thanatos." I told Dad to stay home and that I will come back. We exchanged a hug and I ran towards the woods. "Why don't I just take you," Uncle Howls asked. "You've helped me as much as you could," I said. "Thanks for everything." I gave him a hug and I rushed into the woods.

I jump through trees in the air. Then I landed on the ground and I ran. The wind blowing on my face. It helped me stay calm. Well, as calm as I could. It's hard to stay calm knowing your running to your death.

I never thought I would say that. But it's true. I am now running straight to my death to save my friends. I'll do whatever it takes to save them.
