Fact and fiction

Chapter 5 The gloves are off now

"Don't you animals have anything better to do with your time than stalking me? I already had a date tonight, I don't need three more but thanks anyway." But seriously why wouldn't these guys leave him alone?

"Shut up leech, we know you've been moving into our territory recently." growled the leader of the three.

"Okay what?" yeah now he was confused for sure.

"You heard us, we know you've been coming in and having your fill before taking off. Now it's time to get you back for just doing what you want."

"Hold it right there, what the hell are you idiots even talking about?"

This time it was the one to the right that spoke up. "You know what we're talking about you damn blood sucker! Members of our pack have been attacked recently and drained of their blood so that means you've been on the hunt, so now we're going to make you bleed in return!"

This was some kind of twisted joke right? There was no way he'd want to drink from these mangy mutts, besides he preferred to stay under the radar by going to the hospital for blood transfusions every month rather than having to find someone with healthy blood these days.

"Look you guys are making a mistake so let's just drop things and all go home okay?" but try as he might Nico knew that they wouldn't listen to him, they were dead set on placing the blame on him so he prepared for the fight that he couldn't get out of. He felt his eyes change so that they could better track the movements of his opponents, his senses all went into overdrive in anticipation of the fight and he backed up more so that his back was to the corner and no one could get to it. It didn't take long for them to strike.

...

Damn were those claws sharp... Nico had done his best to defend himself but he wasn't in a situation where he could easily take down three opponents on his own and in addition to the claws, these guys had knives as if to add insult to injury, they hadn't been kidding when they said that they were going to make him bleed.

But he was still innocent in this and he wasn't going down without putting up a fight of his own, he sent out a perfectly placed kick and knocked one of them back and wiped some blood from his face as he glared at the other two while the third got back to his feet.

"I told you to just piss off already." Nico gritted out.

Clearly they were hell bent of killing him because they were advancing once more, but everything stopped when out of nowhere a new voice made itself known.

"What the hell?" the new comer asked.

All eyes turned to him, it was the blond from the club, Will. Nico watched as he gulped nervously and reached into his pocket for his phone so that he could make a show of calling the police but his hands were shaking pretty clearly, though Nico had to admit that it was breve, stupid, but brave of him to try and help even if he didn't realize what he had just walked into the middle of again...

"What do you want?" growled the leader of these mangy animals as he turned his focus to the powerless human standing just inside of the alleyway now.

"You guys better leave him alone or I'll call the cops!"

Nico almost couldn't believe this idiot, does he really think that that would work on these three?

"Go ahead and try it Goldilocks." Snarled the leader as he stalked closer to Will.

Will narrowed his eyes and glared at the beast in front of him with probably his best attempt at what seemed like defiance in this situation. "Fine I will." And he lifted the phone and Nico heard it ring from where he was but as the dispatch operator picked up the phone was knocked out of his hands and it smashed on the ground, and then the beast crushed it even more under his booted foot.
