The beginning of the end.
The year is 2025 in the winter time in the US, and the time is 12pm, our main character Quill, is currently sneaking out of the house to meet up with his best friend Jake, Jake is 17, and Quill who is also 17 has started to try drugs wich Jake is supplying him with, Quill and Jake have decided to meet up at their school to exchange their contraband at midnight tonight, however Quill's older brother Hunter (who's 25) found out and hates the fact that he's doing drugs, so when Quill snuck out Hunter followed him. At the school, Quill and Jake's teacher forgot test papers that she needed to grade, so she and her daughter Jess went to the school to get the papers. (Don't ask why they decided to go at 12 o clock at night and not the next day) Jake is currently standing by a statue of the schools founder waiting for Quill, Quill arrives late and sees Jake waving at him.
Quill: Yo Jake
Jake: Quiet, you ass
Quill walks to Jake as they dap each other, and Jake opens a wooden box that extends as he opens it an assortment of weed and cocaine and shrooms can be seen with a small bong in the middle of the box with 4 rolled up pipes beside it, Jake takes a small vile with weed in it as he opens it and starts to roll a blunt, all while Hunter watches from a bush. At the same Quills teacher and her daughter Jess arrive at the school and walk to the class that has the test papers, as Jake and Quill stand crouched infront of the statue of the schools founder holding a sword up pointed at the night sky, just as Jake is about to light the blunt Hunter comes out from a nearby bush and slaps it out of Jake's hands as he turns to Quill with a pissed look.
Hunter: What the f**k do you think you're doing Quill .
Quill: Uhhhh, it's not what it looks like?
Jake: Shit
Jake hurries to close the wooden box as Quill jumps up, practically shitting himself, looking at his pissed off older brother.
Quill: Look, I can explain this
Jake: uhhh, you're not gonna tell my mom about this, are you?
Hunter: Shut up, Jake
Hunter starts lecturing them as Jess, who was wandering through the school, hears the commotion and walks out and to where Quill and them are.
Jess: uhmm, what's going on here?
Hunter turns to face Jess
Hunter: Who are you.
Quill: Jess?
Jake: What are you doing here at this time of night?
Jess: I should be asking you that Jake
Hunter: You guys know each other?
Hunter asks, pointing at Jess.
Quill: Yes, she's Ms. Johnsons daughter, Ms Johnson, is our Spanish teacher.
Jake: The one that likes you.
Jake snickers as Hunter looks confused
Hunter: Anyway, don't change the subject you are coming home with me right now.
Quill: You can't make me.
Hunter: Wanna bet?
Quill gulps in fear. While all this is happening, Jess's mother gets all the papers and puts them in her car before turning around, wondering where Jess is, as she calls out and starts walking around looking for her, before hearing Hunter and Quill arguing as she walks towards them and seeing Jess with them. Jake stands up, throwing the strap of the box around his shoulder as a packet falls with some leftover weed in it, as Jess bends down and picks it up.
Jess: What's this?
She says, inspecting it, just as she does her mother walks up from behind, placing her hand on Jess's shoulder turning her around and seeing the packet of weed in her hand and snatches it from her hands.
Misoka: Jess, what's this?
Jess: uhm, that's not mine.
Misoka inspects the packet before gasping.
Misoka: Jess, are you doing drugs?!?!?
Jess: What, mom? No, I'm not. I swear I just picked it up.
Misoka: Right, it just happened to be on the ground huh.
Hunter turns, seeing Misoka scolding Jess as Misoka turns to Quill and Jake and Hunter before pointing a finger at Quill and Jake.
Misoka: And what are you two doing on school grounds this late at night.
Quill: We can explain
Jake: Yeah, there's a perfectly good explanation for us being here.
Hunter: They're exchanging drugs, and I'm here to stop it.
Misoka's face flushes when Hunter talks to her, but her anger still burns hot as she turns to Jess.
Misoka: Is this where you got this from.
Misoka shakes the packet of weed.
Jess: No, mom, I promise I just picked that up
Jake: Yeah, no, Ms. Johnson.
Misoka cuts him off.
Misoka: I don't want to hear it. You two have a month of detention, and you Jess are grounded for the rest of the year. Do you understand, young lady.
Jess: Yes, Mother, I understand.
Hunter: And don't think you're safe. Quill, you're grounded as well.
Quill being pissed that Hunter is trying to be his dad kicks the statues foot in anger.
Quill: Can you stop trying to be dad? You will never be him.
Hunter sighs clearly hurt. Just as everyone is about to leave the statues eyes, glow a bright blue as Jake looks up, noticing it first.
Jake: uhhh, guys, I could just be high, but do yall see that?
He says, pointing at the statue as everyone turns and is shocked at what they're seeing.
Hunter: The hell is that?
while everyone is shocked, the statues arms move as Hunter stands in front of Quill defensively as the statue raises the sword and keeping it there for a bit leaving everyone baffled at what their seeing and then it swings the sword down at them at blinding speed as everyone closes their eyes, all they feel is a gust of wind before opening their eyes and being more shocked than before taking in but not believing what they're seeing, they are no longer facing the statue their not even at the school anymore but what they see is an empty field and what seems to be a castle in the distance, just as everyone is struggling to believe what's happening a massive dragon the size of 4 football fields glides over them paying them no attention as it Flys toward the castle.
Jake: I need to stop smoking. This stuff is getting too strong.
Quill stares in disbelief at what he's seeing
Hunter lightly smacks his face to see if he isn't dreaming.
Hunter: How is this real.
Misoka steps back in fear and disbelief, unconsciously scooting over to Hunter for protection as Jess stands next to Quill, shocked at what she's seeing.
Quill: Where are we.
Hunter: I don't know.
The air I much more pure than that of the present.
Hunter looks around, assessing the area.
Hunter: It might not be safe here. Let's make a small camp at the edge of the forest, and then we'll try going to that castle they might have answers if anyone lives there.
Everyone nods as they start moving to the forest nearby.
Hunter: OK, Quill and Jake start collecting rocks. Misoka, was it?
Misoka nods with a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
Hunter: Can you and your daughter start picking up sticks while I go and look for food?
Quill and Jake reluctantly listen and start collecting stones as Misoka and Jess pick up small sticks and twigs as Hunter ventures off looking for food. The time is 01:30am. As Hunter starts looking for food, he sees a rabbit not too far away as he picks up a small rock and throws it with insane precision hitting the rabbit in the back of the head knocking it unconscious as he takes it and kills it before taking it back to were everyone else is. Quill and Jake have made a circle with the stones they found, and Misoka and Jess have neatly placed the sticks in the middle of the circle.
Hunter: ok Jake, give me your lighter.
Jake: You're gonna give it back, right?
Hunter: Sure
With a sigh, Jake hands Hunter the lighter as he lights it and takes out a combat knife, which he uses to skin and gut the rabbit before putting it on the coals.
Hunter: That should do.
Misoka: Wow, you're really good at this.
She says with a smile as she sits next to him, Jess still being angry at her, just glares as she sits opposite them. Quill, seeing her angry decides to sit next to her to try and comfort her.
Quill: Hey Jess, you good?
Jess: Yes, I'm just mad because earlier, before we appeared here, she just blamed me instead of hearing me out.
She says with a sigh, as Jake suddenly announces.
Jake: yo I'm gonna go use the can. I'll be right back.
Hunter: Don't wander off too far. I'm supposed to look after you.
Jake: Yeah, yeah, don't worry.
He says as he starts walking deeper into the dense dark forest disappearing from their view, as Quill turns back to Jess.
Quill: You were saying?
Jess: She just makes me so angry I can't even look at her.
As misoka fawns over Hunter, something watches from a distance with hungry red eyes and ears that seem to twitch at every small creak or sound.Hunter looks forward at Quill, who is talking to Jess as he stands to walk over.
Hunter: Quill, we need to talk.
Quill sighs before getting up and walking over to Hunter, who moves away from the fire and to a nearby tree. Misoka watches Hunter and Quill go behind a tree as she looks at Jess.
Misoka: Hey honey, I feel I owe you an apology for not listening earlier.
Jess: Don't worry about it.
Jess says, raising her chin and looking at the sky.
Misoka: Hey, come on, let's talk about it.
Jess: There's nothing to talk about.
Misoka sighs, giving up hugging herself, looking away and seeing a bush shuffle. Hunter looks down at Quill.
Hunter: I'm not trying to be dad,I'm just looking out for you.
Quill:Yeah, but I didn't ask you to!
Hunter: Well, I'm going to, and you're gonna stop throwing your life away and start doing what you're supposed to!!
Hunter snaps poking Quills chest, before Quill smacks his hand away.
Quill: DONT TOUCH ME!!
He yells before they hear a blood curling scream as they both start sprinting towards the camp. Meanwhile, Jake stands by a fallen tree doing his business, not hearing anything oblivious to what's happening at camp, before zipping up his pants as he turns to go back before realizing.
Jake: Ah, ffffuck I'm lost
As he looks around, he sees the moonlight shining through the trees at a very open spot as he walks closer, intrigued standing in the middle of the lit area as he looks up, his eyes widening as he sees a somewhat big dragon flapping down to him before landing in front of him he stares in awe torn between running in fear and seeing what happens as it lowers it's head to him sniffing him before it looks in his eyes, it raises its head it's chest starts to glow a blinding light as it becomes smaller and Flys into his chest dissappearing into a red light that absorbs into Jake's chest as he falls to his knees hand on his chest sweat pouring from his face, his chest steaming, his breath ragged as he looks up at the moon catching his breath as he lifts his shirt, a tattoo is burned into his skin glowing red before the glow dissipates as he jumps up and runs trying to find everyone to tell them what happened. Misoka stares at the bush that shuffles. She grabs a stick before getting up to inspect it, and when she reaches it, the thing that was stalking them jumps out the bush, scaring Misoka, causing her to stumble backward as she falls on her butt she looks up at the creature revealing a werewolf as she starts swinging the stick to try and ward off the 7ft werewolf as it stares at her before pouncing on her pinning her down and biting her shoulder it's teeth sinking in as she screams, it raises its hand to strike claws extended, but before it can strike a small rock makes contact with it's head it looks up and at Jess who is scared shitless she threw the rock, it stands and walks toward Jess as Jess is frozen in fear Hunter runs in tackling the werewolf as the sprawl onto the ground Quill rushes to Misoka who is bleeding profusely as Jess goes to her side aswell tears forming, Quill takes his jacket off and tears it wrapping it under her arm and over her trap tieing it tightly as she grunts in pain Jess holds her hand.
Jess: Mom, please, please don't leave me, please.
Jess presses her mother's hand to her forehead as tears run down her cheeks. Hunter rises and looks at the werewolf with fear as it look at him pissed it lunges at Hunter as they interlock hands, Hunter struggles to gain the upper hand, the werewolf only presses harder pushing Hunter back into a tree, he grunts as the werewolf separates their hands and claws at his chest leaving 4 deep cuts as Quill rushes over jamming a sharp hot coal in the werewolfs thigh making it roar in pain before smacking Quill away, sending him flying into a small tree knocking him unconscious as Hunter slides down sitting his breath ragged as he looks over at Quill unconscious, the werewolf notices and walks over to Quills laying body as Hunter tries standing clutching his blood covered chest as he stumbles to the werewolf, his eyes burning with determination and rage as his eyes start glowing a shade of gold his body starts to feel light and his muscles grow making his shirt tear his shoes rip in half as he looks at his hands a golden aura starts surrounding his body as he feels 20 times stronger than before as he rushes behind the werewolf that just got to Quills unconscious body as it hears Hunter running and turns.
Hunter: GET AWAY FROM HIM!
He yells, punching the werewolf square in the jaw their height now equal, and as a tooth flies out the werewolfs mouth, it turns back slightly dazed as Hunter hits it again in the gut this time making it bend over a bit, it tries to claw Hunters chest again but it's claws don't penetrate his skin as Hunter hits him again with an uppercut this time sending it running away in fear as he slowly shrinks back to normal before turning to Quill who is slowly regaining consciousness.
Hunter: Quill!
Quill: owwwwww
Hunter rushes to him as Quill stands before turning to Misoka, who is still bleeding being held by Jess as Hunter goes to the other side of Misoka.
Hunter: How deep are the wounds? Quill, do you know or not?
Quill: They're very deep, but look.
He points at her arm blood is no longer flowing down her arm.
Hunter: The bleeding stopped how?
Quill: I don't know.
Jake emerges from a bush excited, yelling.
Jake: GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, you'll never guess what happened!!
Jake looks around, and at everyone, his smile falters, taking in Misoka who has blood all over her shoulder laying down with Quills jacket tied around her shoulder while Jess, who is distraught, holding her mother close, Quill who is dirty, and Hunter, whose clothes are torn with 4 claw marks on his chest.
Jake: The f**k happened here!?!?
