Am I A Luna?

CHAPTER 3: CHALLENGE BY

***

We're currently preparing our armour and the things that we need for the training. Yet, here I am standing while two young cubs climbing into mine.

" Keith and warren! Stop it!" I demand in a very usual tune.

" Bring us bird please! A huge one." They plead, that made them both look cute. Who could ever resist at this two?

" Do you like eating bird?" I ask them smiling. After all, birds does taste like chicken.

"No, but we'd wanna play with it. Hehehehe " said warren who's terribly desperate to get one.

" Okay, I'll bring birds with me when I returned, now down" I ordered and they followed. Good that they were not stubborn.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The mumbled out while marching into the house. I let out a smile. Somehow, I remembered my self to them, maybe because of longings. I sigh. I must move on. I felt a single drop of tears at my cheeks.

" Let's go?" Said uncle johann from outside. I immediately take off those tears and walk out.

***

We are in the Eastern side of this village for our training. This place was quite large just for training. The ground was filled with thick green grass, at the left side was the village small cottage for armours, weapons and sword wielding while in the right side was the- I don't know much of that side, its just that it was covered with dark wall. What's that? I just strugged my head.

The training area was a sunken ground, not too sunk just not plain from the ground. It was surrounded with thick forest making the wind blows cool. This place was just a meter a way from the village, that's why I saw a lot of werewolves up here.

" Let's go down there!" Said uncle johann. I'm a little bit anxious about meeting my mate down there. For now, I didn't see him. Where did he go? I just scratch the idea and nod in response.

" Okay uncle"

***

" Don't take your guard down in front of your foe or you'll be stumble and lose. " lectured the man who trained us. Dunno what's his name. He's in the middle of his 40's but his body figure was admirable than any other. He isn't look in that age but base on the way he moves, he is probably had too many experience in fighting.

He taught us all about hand to hand combat. It is to ensure our strength to fight not just to shift. I pout when uncle johann moved to the warriors side.

All male werewolf are in the age of 30 up is require to join the pack warriors for the village security and force during battle. It sadden me knowing here I am alone like usual, nobody befriend me. I notice that there are several werewolf who take their gaze on me, some looked confuse and others look like they're going to kill me, hand in hand. I just look forward to where the mentor is to avert my attention.

" What's your name, young man?" Ask the mentor the moment I take my gaze on him? He slowly walk to where I am.

" U-uhm, I'm Al- Alexander Night!" I said stuttering. Damm, this guys presence were too strong that made me overwhelmed. He look at me, suspiciously.

" Alright, I'm William." then he handed his right hand of me. I just look at it for a while. What is he doing? Now, my face look miserable and take my guard on. Maybe this is one kind of attacks. I moved my body to fight stance just when I heard him chuckle. What's wrong with this guy?

" Pffft, uhm you look disoriented about this thing young man. Its what we called shake hands. Where your right hands and mine are being twined for a while as a matter of covenant or accepting others to your life. Silly!" I just nod my head. Never experience that before. Whom will I'm going to shake hands with when I was living alone? I'on did never do this before. I then move my right hand to him. We both shake our hands when he mutters,

" I don't know whats special to you that the alpha himself want you to be with us. You'll be dead because of what you did but we were surprised when he ordered you to be one of us in his pack. Too special for a stranger like you!" He state while looking straight into my eyes searching for answers.

I'm gonna  answer him that his my mate when a man beside my says,

" Special? Seriously?? He doesn't even look valuable, then special? That's crazy!" He laugh while the others agree to him.

" He's naive and weak!" I heard the other said. I clench my fist so hard. This is not good.

' Yeah, your weak. Hahahaha' maiven even agree. Damm it.

I am going to attack them when William scold them.

" ENOUGH WITH THIS! YOU FOOLS!" he shout to them. They stop, seeing William with his furious gaze. " Come on Alexander. I want to know your strength. " I followed until we're in the front of many trainees.

" Fight me!" I was taken aback. Oh my! I'm anxious right now but I wanna prove my self that I am not that weak they're yelling a while ago.

He attack me with his front kick when I dodge it using both of my hands. The momentous was quite  

Inevitable making my palm aching. I was taking aback when he managed to redeem himself and attacked me in a very fast way. I rolled from the ground. My head hurts like hell.

"Sh*ts!" I mutter. I saw William grin and even heard my co-trainees loud yell.

"Booo!"

" Loser!"

"Weak!"

It hurts. But I compose myself and stand up. I even taste my own blood. I watch him and studied the way he moves. Quite faster than mine. He move forward to me, his close to me when I free myself to fall into the ground and immediately free a kick to his foot. He fall but he regain himself and attack me slightly. He pin me to the ground, I kick him so that I could free myself. I then punch his face so damm hard. He smiled because of what I did. We stand from the ground, breathing heavily and ready for unknown attacks.

" Your too serious, young man."  I just smirk as a response. He begin to move forward when I throw kick to him but he dodge it. I received a punch from him. I regain my strength and since his close to me, I take an arm kick that made him mad. I notice that he became angry because of what I did. His sharp nails emerge from his hands.

Oh no! What would I do now? 

I prepared myself. I used to fight rougues, now I'm going to fight a werewolf. He moved forward. I readied my fight stance when I heard him laugh in the middle of walking here. Eh? Now, I'm confuse.

"Well, I'm halfway impress. Didn't mind that you could going to make a wound on my cheeks. No trainees even did it before but only you. The fight was pretty good." He  smiled at me. I thought he's going to shift because I make him mad.

"Anyways, that mad thingy was just an act to see how you face an enemy,and I didn't notice a hint of fear in your face, just plain surprise and confidence. Seems that you used to battled with, are you?" After all, he was just playing me.

" Yes,-"  replied just when someone interrupt me.

" We want to challenge him!" Said one from the crowd. What? They make loud noise that made the others to avert their attention to us.

William look at me and yell,

" Let's give him a break. Then you can fight him." He said. I'm surprise when the were-people gathered here, the training ground. I look upward just to see a bunch of crowd. I even take a glimpse of a man, a pretty man wearing black suit, standing confidently, and looking straight into me. His aura state undefeatable.

' the alpha' I mutter into conclusion. He's there huh? I guess he'd watched my fight with William. I slowly lower my head in embarrassment. He's presence make me sick.

Just when uncle johann appeared in my front.

"It's their way of saying 'Welcome', be careful Alex!" Utter uncle johann who was currently eyeing those werewolves who wanna challenge me.

In a sudden time, three of them marched towards where I am. I remember one of them, his the guy who questioned the 'special' thingy of me, a while ago. This is absurd. I just maintain my composure.

" I, Anthony and with my companions, challenge you," points at me " as the new member of this pack! Show us what you got, prove yourself that you deserve to be part of this pack; the blue Moon." I expect disagreement from someone who would care for my safety, no disapproval happened. I sigh. Who would I be to him?

Just when the crowed begin to revealed the center place as a battle field. Anthony and his companions move forward. I remain standing, I need to prove myself that I'm worthy to be with this pack, or I'll be going back to where I must, Alone in a cave.  Regaining my confidence I stroke up and search for him. I look at him straight in his eyes. I'll never let this opportunity strip away.

"Weapons to use?" Ask one of the pack warriors bringing some bunch of weapon.  I was looking for a weapon which I am comfortable with, but there's none. I healed out a sigh of frustration. I then took the wooden staff instead. 

' No choice' I whimp in my head. Before I walk to the battle field, I look to uncle johann who was currently had a bothered face. Is he doubting my strength?

" Worry not, uncle. I will do take care." I smiled in assurance.

I walk into the battle field, their now looking upset for making them wait. The crowed  positioned themselves to watch this fight. Even, at the center, trainees move away providing a spacious distance for us. 

" Show us, how special you are!" Then he smiled devilishly. They lean forward circling me, while I just stand steadily. I used to fight with rougues when I'm at the western woods, fighting is not something that is new to me. Somewhat,I'm born in that way. I readied my fighting stance in case they are going to do their moves.

" You got no percentage of winning, your just a bunch of weakling." Cite the one from my left. He's presumably bragging. Eh? Tss!

" I may not have the percentage to win this fight, but I assure you'll going to end up losing this battle. " I said confidently. That made their expression tighten. The crowd just laugh at me like I was sending them a joke.

"Then, let see!" They lean forward just to corner me at the center. I calm myself and think of the best way to attack.

' Let me out, lemme out. I'll gonna silth their throat.' Meavin aggressively murmurs in my head. I shook my head. He'll gonna end up killing the whole village, just like what happened before. I repelled the thought away from my mind and focus on the fight.

They are now too close to me when I run forward and use the staff to support me clinging upward, making myself to fly above them and end to to my opponent. He stumbled to the ground,while I stand above him. The position was unexpected. Even the bystanders gasp in disbelief.

"That was too fast." Says one of them.

I barefooted his chest that made him cry in agony. " Urgghh! Stop it!" He beg, I even push it harder. My peripheral view tells me that the two made its way forward.  Late to notice that I was being chained by one of them. He pull his chain and I was taken by digging the ground. I was going to stand up when the man with a chain tighten his grip on it and throw me straight to the ground.

" Shits!" I mutter. I try to stand before he can redeem his chain, but the man beside the chain one kick me so damm hard.

" Urgh!" I tastes my own blood. Its bad. I tighten the grip of my staff and shove to the one beside the guy with a chain. He fell to the ground. I took the opportunity to stand up but the chain guy control the chain and repel me to the other side. I spin in the ground before the chain guy could do moves. He fell. I take the chance to get rid of the chain. When I successfully did it. I lounge towards Anthony, or was it his real name.

Just when I try to kick him. Two hands pull me off.

" Not too fast!" Whisper those two. I smirked. Yet, they're not so fast either. I lighten the weight of my body and stroll around them. I used the staff to let their hands off me. They both loosen their grip. I spin the staff shielding myself from any attacks.

I immediately push through the staff to one of them. The man wimp in pain lying unconscious. 1 man fell two to go.

"Grrrggghhh!" I turn around hearing growls. The both look like they gonna shift anytime sooner.

Anthony run toward me. I see how he tighten his fist and oh- with a sharp tusk on it. I prepared myself. Wielding my staff, I lean forward trying to make my stance.

He pulled me next to him making both of us fell to the ground, thrusting my body to the ground.

" YOUR WEAK!" He was furious right now. I roll around changing the position, now I'm above him. I punch him hard in the face. I sense that the chain guy loose his chain on me but I left before it come towards me, instead Anthony to take the attack that was for me.

That was sudden. Even the audience gasp in disbelief. Anthony just throw a killer gaze to the chain guy while the guy just let out a ferocious look at me before he shift into a large black wolf.

He runs towards my direction ready to kill me. Anthony stand up and shift himself into a large black wolf. He also runs towards where I am.

' Damm it!' Two large wolf who are now racing themselves on me. I run and do anything to escape death.

" Shift!"

" Shift!"

" Shift!"

" Shift, Alexander Shift!" Shout out the crowed. 

' hahahahahaha! Why keep running when you can fight them  if you shift?' I must now smirking while I'm in a verge of life and death. This wolf of mine is really impossible.

I turn around to look for anything that might help me. Not far from where I am running, a huge body of a tree rise in sight.

Seems that life favoured in my side. I immediately race myself to the tree. I turn to look for the two. They're speed doubled. I run fast, well I'm used on running, like running from my past that is killing my whole being.

When I got in the tree. I jump off from the ground while holding the tree trunk. I am hungging in tree. Just when I pull on, the two are on the ground with mouth wide open.

I sit at the trunk and maintain my breath.

" Grrrrggghhh!" Growls from below. They are gonna cut the tree with their tusk. I immediately think of a way to end this. I see my staff and an idea come out from my mind.

I change position and went to the another trunk. The tree shook.

" Pssst! I'm here!" I smirk to them. They are now eager to kill me. They run below to my trunk.

I let go of my staff and it expectedly end up to the mouth of one of the wolf. He tried to let go of it but it seems that it clog to his mouth. He wander everywhere in panic. The second wolf look at his comrade.

Without wasting time. I jump off from the trunk and end up into the wolfs bareback. He moves in horror. I just hold his fur in such  tight for me not to fall. I slip the small tree trunk on my waist and  push its sharp edge to the wolfs eyes.

He hurriedly run towards every direction with his only one sight. Due to his move, I let off from his back, rolling into the ground.

" urghh!" I moaned in pain. "Sh*ts!"  I sluggishly rose up from the ground. Eyes blurry because of the impacts.

Late to notice that the wolf who were struggling with a staff on his mouth rush towards me. He free his mouth from my staff.

He strike towards me causing myself to be off balance and fall to the ground. His above me looking really furious and ready to smash me to death.

I slowly close my eyes waiting to die.......

.

I opened my eyes to look for anything. His hands almost hit me when I move and kick him. He move while I free myself. I stood up. My foots getting weaker but I still need to fight. O don't wanna died yet.

He clawed me and my tsirt got tattered with cuts and bloods. He hold my foot, I can't let go of it. He throw me and I clash up with a huge tree.

' Damm it! Its hurt!' My sight becomes blurry. I can't stand up, my foots too weak to stand and arms to weak to fight. I feel him rush towards my direction. Even if it's blurry but I manage to feel what he might do to me. He unshift himself, he stands n***d in front of me.

Suddenly, I feel that I rose up from the ground.  He hold my neck strangled me to death.

" DIE! You weak!"  Then I feel his saliva on my face while loosing my breath away.

' am I gonna die now?'

.

.

.

My tears let go and rush down to my check. Unlucky to die doing nothing. Just like my mama and papa who died without fighting.

'NO!' I use half of my strength to kick him so hard. Glad that it end up with his manhood and he let go of me, while he begins in panic. Even heard him curse in pain.

" You stupid weakling! I'm gonna kill you!"

I wanted to run but my foots begun to loose balance. I fell, but before I passed out, I heard the voice that I've been wishing to hear. From the wolf I never expected to say something.

"ENOUGH WITH THIS! ALVIN BRING HIM ON THE CLINIC WHILE I'LL TALK WITH THESE THREE ASSHOLES! ALVIN NOW!"

Then black block my sight.

A/N:

Hey, what do you think about the story?

Spell it out wolves!

Pscythe!
