Fractured

Chapter 69: The Angel vs The Devil

"The scent, followed by the Hunger. That's how it's been since the beginning."

A Lupi with red hair rose, the sand falling off his chiselled body, he looked around unfamiliar of the world he resided in. Only thing he saw was two Lupi beside him. A woman with black hair, black as the night itself and skin a pale grey. The one closest to him had skin kissed by the sun, hair crystal white all of them were unclothed as if they had just come out the womb.

Mysterious energies flowed from them when the red haired one looked at himself he noticed blood through up from his skin. The same sensation could be felt in his hair. The other two had similar sensations but completely unique to them, the white haired one with a white glow and the black haired had become one with the shadows.

They knew nothing of how they got there, nothing of what this world was, only that they knew that they were family. That they shared some form of bond. They looked upon the world they were in, a beautiful world, the white haired one stared with dazzling eyes, the black haired one with eyes tinted with dark and the red haired one.

"I looked on with bloodlust."

That was the day The Devil, The Angel and The Reaper entered this world. Nergal, Muraco and Katsumi the Original Three.

"We entered the world that day and we was fascinated, my brother marvelled at its beauty vowed to be its protector, my sister saw the dark side of the world we lived in accepting the cruel nature into herself learning she must become strong to survive it and I just had the same damn hunger and filled with boredom and if I wanted to satisfy myself I had to seek out worthy feasts. That was when we discovered mankind."

Nergal, Muraco and Katsumi all sat around a campfire, devouring pieces of meat on sticks while behind them remained the dead carcasses of three massive creatures, one that was mostly bone while the others hadn't yet been devoured. Their heads turned as they heard a sound in the dark.

"I could smell his hunger, his fear, his weakness from a mile a mile away."

Nergal looked down at the human with his blood red eyes as they widened. His brother and sister followed on shortly equally shocked by what they saw. Something they hadn't seen before, a human.

"Hehehe it was funny that day you offered him a hand, Katsumi wanted to cut him down but neither of you guys had a chance to even come to agreement on how to deal with it."

His mouth began water, his fangs began to reveal themselves and his eyes flowed red as his claws became sharp. In the blink of an eye...

"I devoured him and I loved every second of it. "You looked at me with disgust, Katsumi didn't have a care in world for the human life but eye had never felt better. Times went by, we discovered humans were more vast than we had ever known. We learned to blend in amongst them, somewhat. Eventually we went out separate ways to see how many more humans they're were to learn. For me to feast. Muraco went to the west, Katsumi east and I stayed in the middle."

Africa a long time ago...

"RUN, EH, EH! DON'T STOP RUNNING!"

Heavy breathing and panting followed the panicked talk amongst the huntsmen. They held their spears tight as growls were heard all around them. Fear in the broad daylight, a common occurrence a hunt gone wrong, a predator chasing for a meal. A Lion, a Cheetah, hyenas, humans being chased by animals was not out of the ordinary. This was.

"GET TO DA FOREST! QUICKLY!" One boy yelled to the others as they went into the overgrowth.

"CLIMB, CLIMB!" They all began to climbing into the trees with hopes that whatever was chasing them wouldn't be able to reach. That maybe they could aim from above and get a lucky through.
