"And that's how I broke my arm playing rugby for a second time" Brandon announced the end of his story with a giggle that made Rae smirk to himself finding the part where he was still playing for half an hour with the injury just in character with the cheerful knucklehead he had the pleasure' of being stuck with...nah in all honestly, Rae's smirk evolved into a full blown grin, he was more than happy to be paired up with the Jock as he kinda looked up to him ever since they were little as his optimism was a never faltering part of him, infecting all those near him and making them want to hang out with him.
As Rae thought he looked up to his part time idol whose smile was still standing even as the rain began battering them once again "guess this weather just won't let up huh? man that sucks haha" "I-I guess, though I kinda like the rain" Rae responded with a silent chuckle as he looked up to the sky.
"you've always been so positive about such things haven't you Rae?" Rae looked back to his left again surprised that Brandon had took any notice about him after all he was always in the back of a playground or studying after school unless Chloe managed to drag him outside, he was the exact opposite of Brandon so why would he be of any notice by him? "I well uh yeah I g-guess...how'd you notice?"
Brandon had a flash of confusion splatter across his face "I noticed because your my friend dummy"
Rae couldn't believe it someone as great and kind as Brandon who had the dream girlfriend and half the school as his group saw him the lonely and distant Rae as his friend, he felt like he could cry which was new to him "do you really"
"and I think we're done here, sorry to interrupt but I've heard enough dribble" an tall lanky form began to spew from the dark behind Brandon, all Rae could make out was a wide sinister grin stretching across it's face as it spoke before a long arm like limb lifted to the side poised to strike down Brandon.
"BRANDON MOVE" just before the arm struck Brandon dodged the arm still grazing his side somehow cutting deep into him with only a touch.
"ah guh!" Brandon clenched his side as a red viscous liquid began oozing through his now open jacket beginning to stain it, this sight seemed to appease the monster as it brought the sharp limb up to it's mouth a white tongue licking the blood staining it red emitting a satisfied chuckle from the being.
Rae shook in terror as he looked upon the scene 'please get up, get up and fight him or run, just please!' he pleaded his friend subconsciously.
Looking over towards the grey haired kid the monster laughed in delight "oh hoh hoh this will be fun, don't worry kid when I'm done with this pathetic whelp you'll be next" it began to walk over to the bleeding male it's claw dragging across the ground as it drew nearer before once again raising it.
"w-why ugh are you doing this?!" Brandon croaked out with most of his breath going into the last word, the cut felt like it was deepening somehow burning further and further into him like hungry insects were burrowing there way through his cut into his warm flesh.
"why? hehe haha HAHAHA because I-" it was interrupted when a small boy rushed into his back in a half assed tackle only succeeding in shaking it slightly and pissing it off as the child gave a meek cry.
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY FRIEND" barely knowing where his strength came from he did his best at restraining the beast as he looked to his friend "run Brandon get to the others and tell them about this guy and call the police"
Brandon nodded gravely as he started putting the last of his strength into his sprint as he began disappearing into the forest.
"my my so eager aren't we..." the thing's neck snapped around as it got out of his grasp with ease, before the little bugger could run off it sliced his left knee wide open forcing a scream out of the terrified boy "just for that little stunt I'm gonna take my time with you"
(this is were unnecessary gore is used so if you don't like that stuff just look for my brackets)
Rae fell to the floor in immense pain he also began to feel a hot searing pain in his right shoulder as the creature lodged it's claw into it slowly beginning to saw it's way down as Rae tried to grab it in a desperate attempt to pull it up, feeling his hands slip straight off it.
Soon the whole arm and a good portion of shoulder came slopping off dragging down his body before resting on the floor, Rae still somehow found air in his lungs to scream more before the creature with one swift flick his throat was open and bleeding out a blood choked gurgle as he looked up into the sky warm tears streaming across his cold face as the life went out from his eyes his body a perfectly still picture of agony.
(done you can read now )
"oops guess I got a bit carried away there with the throat, but I have to admit" he said as his face began forming that of a tall, lanky red headed male somewhere in his late twenties or early thirties "this is turning out to be quite the night, and these powers!" he looked towards his left arm which he kept as a claw while the rest of him reformed to his normal self "I feel like a god and with that voodoo shit that she's got on we've got a whole 24 hours where their stuck with me as my playthings, sure beats a random hooker in a alleyway that's for damn sure" he chuckled as he walked back into the shadow slowly descending into the ground like oil once he reached the darkness.
