THE FANG

CHAPTER TWO

Will's POV

I have a secret one that could kill me, one that forced me to hide in the shadows all my life. I have been targeted by people trying to kill me since I came out of my mother's womb. Since I took my first breath I have had people who wanted me dead.

For the first 10 years of my life, I have always been on the run. Me and mother always moved from village to village because of fear of getting caught and because the villagers found me as a threat. They always called me a monster, that I would bring doom to the world if I realized who I was. My mother was put through a lot of hardship just in the name of protecting me. I'd always wondered why my mother didn't leave but she continued protecting me. It was my fault all along that why she is living a tough life.

My mother had been sick for some time now so she was weak, I put a cloth on her to help cool her temperature before she slept. I was asleep when I started smelling smoke, and immediately I woke up. To my surprise, it seemed like the house we were staying in was on fire. I heard the villagers cheering outside as threw more flammable substance at the house, so the flames ragged more and more and it was getting hotter. The smoke was so much that I could barely see but I saw my mom pointing to the window. I leaped out through the window, the window was small but I managed to squeeze myself through.

It wasn't big enough for my mom to fit in but I kept calling out to her to try, with tears falling from my eyes I called out to her at the top of my voice. She finally answered back saying I should leave, you can survive this. I screamed back that I could not leave her alone that I couldn't leave without her, she was the reason I had lived till this day, I would rather die with you mother I said.

She told me I am supposed to be here and that I couldn't die now. That I was her son and I am in this world for a reason. She said u had to make sure this doesn't happen again, I had to make sure no one goes through the pain I went through. She said human or vampire I should treat them all the same. You need to end the war. As the roof crumbled down she told me to go and promise her that I would end the war between humans and vampires, So I left.

I lost my mother to the hands of humans. As for my dad, I never met him and don't know who he is but have heard stories about him. The only thing my mother told me about him is that he was killed by vampires, despite the conflict between humans and vampires, both of my parents died at the hands of their kind. They died because of me I am an impurity, an abomination.

My dad's name is Raphael, he was a high-rank general because he was the brother of the Quincy. They were both twins. He was loved and cherished by everyone but his brother Heritage was more feared, he was a tyrant with a bitter-cruel personality. The thing he hates most were humans. He also transferred this hatred to his son Prince, my cousin. When the Quincy found out about what my father has done, he saw his action as a sign that he needs to be punished. The punishment was death and it was delivered to him. Because his hatred clouded his mind he killed his brother. My father however wasn't the only one who lost the fight. When he stabbed my father in the heart killing him. His son killed him taking the title, this made I'm the new Quincy.

After my mother's death, he had his doubts about me being dead or alive because he only found my mother's body and not mine. It was like I was dead but alive physical and mentally no one cared about me so I decided not to care about anyone else, I decided to do what I promised my mom I would do. She had told me to treat humans and vampires the same way and end their lives and I did exactly that. I started from that village. Because of my human look, I could easily blend in and kill them, I started killing them little by little till there were none left, I gave the most painful and cruel death. I only did this to humans who have committed crimes.

It got to a point where I had killed so many people that I gained a reputation for myself both humans and vampires called me "THE SLAYER". The vampires started noticing the then number of people and villages was reduced because of me. So, they devised an idea to kill everyone in a village one by one. They add already struck numerous villages before they came to attack the village I was in. When I saw the way they struck, it came as a surprise to me because they came in packs just slaughtering everyone they see, there was massive bloodshed. the healthy ones were kept as food and the rest were killed and thrown into the river.

I had already left the scene not wanting to be spotted by the vampires because of their large numbers. When I reached the other side of the river I noticed a vampire draining the blood of a girl. I didn't what to interfere in their fight. As I was about going I noticed that the vampire was a Quinx. I enjoyed killing Quinx because they were second in command of the Quincy. I leaped at the Quinx and directed all my anger towards it, it was fast but not fast enough to tackle me though because I was ann half-breed I was as fast as most vampires but I could heal faster than them.

When the Quinx was in a position where it was exposed I pierced my sword to its heart, just as I killed him I heard a sound and I turned; I saw a vampire on the ground stepping at his back. She looked too young to be able to acquire this Accuracy and skill. I looked at her she didn't feel afraid of me she kept looking back at me. Maybe she was grateful because I saved her life or because she didn't know who I was. Because of the attack on the village, I expected more attacks like this to happen in the future.

I gave her some advice to repay my debt and I threatened her to leave. To my surprise, she was somewhat bold and stupid. Even when she knew who I was she threw a dagger at me, I didn't know if I was amused or shocked at her ignorance. She wanted to fight but I decided to play along. She was more skilled than I expected, then suddenly she screamed; I knew exactly what she was planning and it worked I was more concerned about the vampire. So, Iran with her strapped behind my back. She fell and I removed my sword hoping to instill fear into her but the other Purgers interfered. I started having to run away but it was my only option, I was short of weapons, and Seriously injured so escaped.

I was watching another village where vampires had invaded when I heard Purgers coming, one of them was so loud I grabbed my knife and slit Is throat. They knew who I was because I could see the fear in their faces. Another purger leaped at me and I threw a dagger at his hand and he screamed. The other purgers didn't give in so I had to fight back, I dodged every single attack thrown at me then I noticed their sudden stop in attack but I had already noticed the girl in the tree. I had focused too much on the girl on the tree and the purgers I didn't notice the attack from behind. I heard a sword clashing and it was the girl and her commander.
