Vampizard

Chapter 2

Chapter 2:

Why was I born to such a sad fate? I questioned myself as I flew high above the city in its magnificence at night.

Did I really deserve this? Hiding and running for all my life? Apparently so. Because soon enough, there I was, being chased by vampire hunters. Mind you, vampire hunters were actually more common and better at finding me than wizard hunters.

I know my parents had put the spell on me then, but that only meant my scent was hidden from the hunters. And as to why I was being chased now? That would be my own carelessness.

I had fed without making sure no one was in sight. A hunter must have saw me feed on that blonde and went to seek others in an attempt to hunt me down.

Thankfully, I doubt he could sense the wizard side of me. Which means I was just another random vampire to these people.

I dashed past many houses which I concluded could have been very helpful to hide from my pursuers, but I couldn't enter a house for living humans without their verbal invitation, without being under my mind control either. It wasn't that I was moral or anything- I just couldn't.

It was kinda like the old saying that a vampire couldn't enter unless you said he could. Ironically, it was ever so true. And you thought it was just crap.

Thankfully, at the corner of my eye I spotted a factory in the distance. Perfect. Swiftly, I hid inside using an ajar back door. I felt the hunters rush past a while later and then heaved a sigh of relief. Well, I'd better be on my way.

As I looked up through the factory's glass ceiling, I couldn't help but admire the beautiful full moon tonight. It looked so pretty and contrasting to the black sky.

And then, I heard a howl that I only knew all too well. Oh shit. Don't tell me...

A reddish brown wolf leapt out in front of me and stared at me curiously with its midnight black eyes. It was no ordinary wolf. It was huge.

Its pelt shimmered under the moonlight as it gave a protective snarl. I stepped back and said calmly, "Hello werewolf."

Seriously? I put myself ready for a fight with this werewolf if I needed to.

Surprisingly, instead of leaping at me to attack like I had expected it to, the werewolf shrunk in size into a teenage boy who was slightly taller than me. Maybe by a few centimeters? His hair matched the colour of his wolf's pelt and his eyes were the same black as his wolf. He gave me a small smile as he greeted warmly, "Hello. Yes, I am a werewolf. And you will be?"

I hesitated before deciding to tell him the truth. He seemed to not be out for my blood, perhaps it was safe to do so.

"I'm Ethan," I said, short and sweet. "Well, I'm Ace, and what kind of creature are you? I'm rather sure you're not human... but I sense two types of scents from you..." the werewolf asked as he towered over me.

I gave him a smirk. And I thought werewolves had foolproof sense of smell. How wrong I was indeed. "I'm not ordinary. I'm cross-bred."

He nodded slowly as he replied, "I see, no wonder you had the wizard and vampire scents on you. Though I must say, you're the first mixed creature I've ever came to meet actually. And that's very interesting."

I put my hand out. "Friends, Ace?" He took it firmly and gave me a strong shake. "Of course, Ethan," he said.

"So why are you alone? Aren't you supposed to be in a pack or something?" I asked, remembering what I knew about his species.

He shook his head slowly as he related his story to me. Apparently, his father, Tim, was an Alpha male and his mother, Luna, the alpha female. They had both been killed when he was still a young werewolf pup and he had been separated from his pack thanks to werewolf hunters. He was now an orphaned werewolf trying to locate his pack.

I looked at him pitiously as he recounted the story, his eyes darkening and deep in the painful memory.

I put my hand to his shoulder as I said softly to him, "Hey, you can cram at my place if you want... that is if you don't have a place of your own or anything..."

His black eyes lit up. "Really?" he grinned, "Gee, thanks!"

And with that, my house now had an addition of a werewolf whom I shall not mention by name and it seemed to be less cold around here now.

I saw him walk sleepily towards my carpet in the living room. And then an idea hit me as I saw his dark eyebags under his eyes.

"Quieso," I murmured to Ace as I saw his sleep-deprived eyes fall shut. He fell on the carpet and transformed back into his wolf, sleeping soundly. The poor guy probably hadn't slept for weeks judging from his deep snoring.

He looked like a doggy that I had always wanted but never could get one. Then again, he wasn't just a dog. He was more. He was my new and only friend in this cold world now.

And I will help him.

"I'll get you back to your pack if I can," I murmured to myself, "Seeing that I have nothing else to do with my life anyway."

I went up the stairs to my own bedroom, where I practiced Chopin's Etude Opus 10 No 5 on my grand piano as softly as I could, considering the fact that I did not even need to sleep.

~~~~~

When I emerged from my bedroom, I noticed that Ace was still asleep. I gave a small sigh. Well, he was tired after all.

So I made something that would have any guy with a teenager's appetite waking up in a second at the smell of this food.

"Appareos double cheese hamburgers," I muttered as two of these mouth-watering burgers appeared in my hands. This is why I loved being half a wizard.

As the smell wafted in the living room from the dining table, I saw Ace perk up immediately. "Double cheese hamburger?" he exclaimed as he took his and was wolfing it down in his non-wolf self. "Oh my gosh, this is delicious!"

"I know right," I said as I calmly ate my own. "Well, we have a great day ahead of us my dear friend." He looked at me for a second before asking me for a second serving. I rolled my eyes. Were all werewolves these hungry all the time?

And to think he had to eat a third and a fourth burger after that!
