here's my long story, too long to be a short sory, it's not done yet:
Opening
I never wanted to be like this I just am. Most people think being a werewolf is all fun and games, right? Well it's not, how would you like to be hiding, making up lies, and looking up exotic plants while an unknown group is trying to kill you? Actually I probably should start at the beginning, I was born to this. Not instantly that would be weird a baby werewolf chasing you trying to gum you, no it's not like that. It really depends on the person, some lucky souls don't even get it I wish I had that happened to me, no, I got to hide isn't that fun?
Supposedly the werewolf gene started when 5 kids got together and summoned a demon, not what you thought huh? most people think is was devil worshipers, they wanted it for some unknown but they set up a barrier to hold the demon in it was both "magical" and "physical" and neither held. It got loose. And it and it killed one and he turned into a zombie. It also bit one, witch became a vampire, it also gave one kid a nasty cut with it's claw, witch became a werewolf, one kid got both the claw and became a chupacabras, the last kid as the only smart one and brought a gun and killed the demon he had gotten A LOT of speed, strength and wits, he bacame the hunter. Now the kids weren't the "nicest" kids ever, at least not the hunter, and the kids had A LOT of other kids before anyone noticed that they where messed up and the genes started to mix. Remember when I said there was a group chasing after me well it's ALL hunters. Yeh, not good. I am Lark the third but the third doesn’t matter, no onecalls me by it. I am crazy skinny about 5’10” I have really long white hair that flops over my eyes like not the dirty blond crap but the real deal, like it wouldn’t matter if I bleached it. I always wear baggy jeans and loose t-shirts that get torn too much.
Chapter one
Today started like any other day, waking up in a forest, sometimes a field!, and running as fast as we can away from any civilation. We are a special kind of werewolf the kind that can shift whenever we want, which is not always a good thing, really what happens if you go to any building that has ANY blood and you shift, some lucky souls only have to hide once a month however we have to hide always.
However today WAS a little different than the rest because today was the start of a full moon, because when that happens we cannot resist becoming a werewolf and we cannot control what we do, three agonizing nights of this. But this is a good thing because the hunters won't attack us during this time, too dangerous so- "...lark..." the soft voice woke me frown my light sleep, we all are light sleepers, it came with the trait, which never stopped me from being grum-"LARK!"
"mhh..." I mumbled
"GET UP!"
"yes sir...." it was George he was the unofficial pack leader, he was born to a military family, so we all call him sir. I struggled to an upright position. George was about 5'9" very broad shoulders, he was 16; short cropped white streaked with brown hair, and always wears army surplus jackets. George walked over to a shadow mangled with the pre-dawn darkness and nudged it with his combat boots. It stirred and flopped over showing a 15 year old in all black, long hair that fell over his eyes, I always wanted to ask him how he saw, long and skinny arms and legs and he TOWERED over George easily over six feet, we asked his name once and he just stared at us with pitch black eyes and said we can call him Akio, why?, we never know but he seems to fit it very well, he spoke with uncanny clarity and was a GENIUS he knew where the HUNTERS where when we couldn’t even see. Akio got up slowly and George told him to get breakfast, so he shifted and left without leaving a noise.
George walked over to a lump, kneels down and sort of half pushed it, got up slowly and it got sat up. George said, "Did you sleep well?" it nodded and he helped it up. It was Mona, she was a little shorter than George and was the only girl in the pack but if you’re thinking what I should do to her, I wouldn’t do it in a million years, George was always within 50 yards of her and he would kill me before I got ....finished...... I would never do even if George was dead, I hope not, we were friends and I wouldn’t want to mess with that. George always had a soft spot for her.
"Oh, Georgiepo!" not the BEST nickname but his reaction is worth it
"WHAT?" He basically SPIT it out at me
"You forgot to give me my morning kiss like you said!"
"uhhhh……" George never lies at least in front of Mona, and he DID say it last night, so he sort of half-shuffled towards me and bent down towards me and got a full face slap. Ouch, time to go. I shifted and ran like HELL! See in the time of the full moon we get pissed REALLY easily and that sort of thing is enough to set a hoard of zombies at you. He shifted and chased after me, he's stronger and faster but he is also large so he can't climb trees and stuff. Which is what I planed to do I got up a good sized tree. By the time he realized my trail went up a tree George shifted back to human and started to say words that I won't repeat. What he did is camped out at the bottom but he did not realize that I had already left by skimping from tree to tree. By the time I got back to the clearance Akio had caught a good sized deer and set up the fire. Mona was beside it eating a leg. Akio looked straight at me and asked me for a limb I couldn’t help it I jumped straight in the clearance and hungrily grabbed a leg. We sat there for about five minutes before George came back and had the last leg, much to my displeasure. That was us one pack only 4 kids, myself 14 and Mona 15 incase I forgot, and we lived off nature, running from hunters and the occasional zombie hoard.
After we ate the entire deer and put the blood in bottles we started to track off towards north, another decision by George because zombies freeze when it's too cold and there was an alleged meeting land, that was where werewolf meet together and exchange blood for meat, guess who gets what? I was the map guy I was born good at it and I have a piece of paper that has the land outlined and notes all over that's what I do there, Mona and George got to trade and Akio well we never know what he does but he always manages to get back to us when we leave we never question him because he just sulks off and we have to get the fire going ourselves, we REALLY suck at it, he is the fire-guy not a pyromaniac, he's not crazy for it or anything, just he likes it, I asked him once and I got a really long explanation and a look at his Zippo.
Chapter 2
We saw a light at the end of the trail and before anyone could say anything Akio ran to the end, sneakily of course, and walked back, for some reason he started to ruffle his hair, which stuck strait up. When he got to us he walked to Mona and ripped her shirt down to her chest.
That got an-I'm-going-to-kill-you look from George, Akio knew this so he told him, "Guys, make it look like we did it", that got some looks from Mona but she, thankfully, kept silent. So we stood there for about a minuet or so, undoing our belts, and screwing up our shirts and pants. When we got done we walked to the blinding light. What we found is a small city that kept to themselves and continued to live, I like that you can live and hide in the woods in the moon time and hide from everyone but George would kill me if I left he would come up with some crazy accuse and we would carry on to our journey to nowhere.
Akio’s idea of us doing it was a great idea because looking around it was filled with people who did it a little too much although it still was small must be a good pharmacy nearby. We walked around and saw we weren’t alone, god, Akio’s so smart. We walked around town and went to a dark isle, while Akio disappeared again. We where stopped by a couple of guys in masks and they spoke to us.
“Well, well, well… look what we have here….”said the first one he spoke in a dark voice and very well spoken
“Yah, to bad you wont see the light” the other guy said light with a pretty nasty tone. He spoke with the same calmness in his voice, VAMPIRES! My mind screamed and I got ready to shift, the same idea came to George but much quicker and shifted before I could, his already strong mussels exploded in his body, revealing an extremely large and strong dog, followed by me then Mona she probably was slowed because she thought what may happened to her if she did nothing. While we shifted the vampires tore off their masks reveling long and sharp fangs the guy on the left, I’m going to call him scar, has a long scar along his left eye going across the eye and is about 40 itself the and the other guy, his new name is bobby, is much younger about 20 and they both have red eyes George leaped at bobby but he stepped aside with ease
“Well, looks like we have a puppy-boy” and drew a short sword which he promptly tried to stab in George’s back but sidestepped to the left, hit the wall and ran UP the wall jumping off the top and bit bobby on the shoulder, and pushed George off him but I saw something on the underbelly of George. While this little battle happened scar propelled himself towards me drawing a hatchet at me and Mona. I saw the blade but jumped any way I felt his hand on my belly and I gasped but not because his hand was cold but because something went deep inside me and got stuck there, Mona jumped to a split second after I did but that was all the time scar needed and he slashed her with his hatchet and she fell the floor whimpering and shifted into a human again. The pair jumped up the close walls and stood on the top of the roof bobby put his hand up and I saw a remote control you know the kind that have one button and a little antenna with the red dot on top, you know what I’m talking about, and pressed it. The most incredible pain shot through me and I couldn’t help but to shift and it wasn’t like when you shift willingly it HURTS. So there we were Mona was on the floor bleeding while George tried to get to her but fell and got up and fell over and over, I had crawled up in a ball crying.
Suddenly the pain stopped and I raised my head weakly and saw bobby falling spilling blood as he spun in circles, when he landed a pool of blood formed around his lips I craned my head even more and saw scar squirming like a bug in a pin and I crawled to get a better view and saw someone in a dark cloak with a scythe, death, holding the wooden end downwards but the blade pointing up through scars gut and blood was PORING through the wound and then the cloaked figure turned around and held the scythe like a pickax and went through scar ripping through his chest and THROUGH his head. Scar fell never making a sound. Then Death turned and left dragging the cloak behind him. I had enough strength to look behind me to see George over Mona giving me the go look, you know what it is, and I climbed up to the top of the rooftop to see Death hopping from roof to roof without making a sound.
I chased after Death
It sounds like the craziest thing ever? Right well, not to me. He just sort of floated across the roofs, he was the greatest roof skimmer ever at least till I came along…. I just kept going and after a couple blocks I could see Death looking behind himself I couldn’t see his face because it was covered in darkness but I know he was afraid, hah! Death afraid, that’s funny….. but I got to him and tackled Death. His cloak fell away at my touch like it was made of shadows.
I gasped and jumped back
Chapter 3
“A-Akio?” I stammered barely controlling my shaking. Akio’s blank face was staring at.
“hm?” He said it in most plain way possible and if he was kidding he hid it well, actually, too well he must have planed it somehow, but after all he WAS Death so didn’t he know everything?
“wh.. wha…what are you doing?” I managed to say without falling over.
“Lark, it’s still me, no need to go crazy” Akio, or Death or whoever he is stood up and the shadows crawled up from the small of back and he held the scythe with his left hand, the scythe that was doing something unnatural. It was bending becoming more curved and less sharp, that’s it right? less sharp?, anyway it curved and Akio lifted it up. He put in on one of my shoulders and the curve met my other shoulder. Sharp pain stabbed through every nerve of my body, I could see my scenes failing one after another, all being switched off by one till I couldn’t tell you where my feet where.
I “woke up” in a weird place, floating in nothing and everything, time means nothing, like someone dropped the hourglass of time, here where light comes from nowhere yet it’s everywhere if you look ahead for you see swirling patterns of blackness some so black you cannot see anything for a while and some a bright shade of gray, you don’t need to breath or even pump blood, maybe you don’t even have blood and it’s all calming, so calming that you would sleep but you need no rest.
It’s the perfect place.
The swirls of darkness started to change, nothing unusual because they are always swirling but they got faster and started to make something recognizable. Akio’s face loomed at me and I sort of floated back but jump like. It was like being startled but in space, without the endless looping.
“Hey lark” The sound came from all directions it was kinda weird.
“H-h-hello?”
“So this is what your brain space is like, weird”
“The what?”
“You know, brain space, you humans call is…. your happy place”
“What did you expect?”
“Well not this”
“What do you want?” I got an angry tone to this; I want to be left alone now.
it's not done yet, any questions?, comments?, sudgestions?
