THE REVENGE OF A WEREWOLF

Running through the woods, panting hard with bullet wounds on my left shoulder, while being chased by hunters with silver arrows and guns, these are not just any hunters, these are hunters called when something inhuman has been spotted or is suspected to dwell in an area. The Monarchs of the dark, the monsters to monsters. The primis lex: The First order. I should have known all along but my stupidity clouded my senses. “come on boys, don’t let them escape.” That was the voice of the leader, the father of the one I loved the most, Vox Eludere. “Hold!!!” He shouts in the distance. Wait, does this mean they are going…no this means “FIRE!!!!” He commanded. I can hear them. “Phuuummm, Phummm, phummm.” These are arrows. The wind blows as the trees shake, rain falls down like shards of glass from the sky. Thunder roars as lightening shatters in flashes. I am tired, I am weak but that is just the tip of my problems, arrows are falling again, where do I hide? Do I k…. “Phewwww! Thuck! Thunk!!” the arrows began to fall. The rain dulled my senses and the thunder disrupted my focus, I am potentially blind but luckily I could dodge all attacks at the last minute before they hit us, though I did all the work, Liaris my sister still was the one I held with my left hand as I ran. I had to keep going, after all I wasn’t running for myself alone, I am the sole cause of the death of my family, my love and selfishness led me to a trail of blood and I am reaping all I have sown. My brother had no choice but to stay and fight back allowing my sister and I to escape, I remember the look on his face when we came home and found mom and dad murdered, even in their last moments they chosenot to hurt humans. He Created a distraction then shifted into his werewolf form and howled so loud that he could be heard and chased after instead of my sister and I. Difficult inhales and forceful exhales, those are the only words that do justice to the situation we were in as we ran. The ray of light from the moon shone gracefully upon the hill, a sight for sorry eyes but suddenly my right shoulder became heavier and heavier, I looked down and saw, my sister wasn’t running anymore she had passed out and I was only dragging her across the gravel mixed with mud. Not wasting a second, I carried her and continued. Liaris deserved none of this and yet she is suffering for it, just because i.. sigh… I was aware this made me slow but I was not willing to leave her behind, I am the reason for all of this, this is the least I can do. as we got farther and farther above the hill, the hunters were getting closer and closer but I saw an escape, there was a gap in front, there was a fallen tree at the very edge of this gap, its too much of a gap for humans to jump over but I could but then the primis lex are not humans so what do I do? I got closer and closer, this was it, I could actually survive this, I and Liaris may actually survive this. A spark of hope was birth inside me but then I heard a loud howl from the east of the forest. I was certain right there and then as I was about to jump that Lidus my brother has been killed. In an instant my guilt grew much worse. “c**k!!” He shouted again in the distance. Shit here comes another wave. “Fire!!” He shouted again… “PARRY!!!!” He shouted. Double commands? Wait no… “s**t!” I let out as I jumped. High pitched whistles, Trees cracking and breaking. Something big was coming. Wait, what if? I tried to think but the noise of the arrows numbed my senses again… “…”…”Phweem….BOOM!!!!”“HUH!!” I let out opening my eyes to see my right hand from my elbow downwards separate from my body. Now I was sure.. that wasn’t a command but an ART MANIFESTATION. When did arrows go boom? I asked as I fell down. The impact of the arrow disrupted my momentum and also broke off some rocks from the other side of the cliff. I hit the mountain with my side and fell straight down, it was over, it was all over, all I could do was hold Liaris to protect her, The dirt, the rocks, the water and all matched the same speed as us as we fell, even gravity had forsaken us, I looked down at Liaris and looked back up, hoping for a way out of this as my mind slipped into the sweet relief of death. I had let it all go but then I saw a cave, at the left side of the mountain, I saw a way to survive and then my instincts kicked in, I can use my claws to negate my fall. I immediately balanced liaris on my back, using my neck to hold one hand in place and my teeth to hold the sleeve of her cloth. I Forcefully Dug my claws into stone, It was painful, it was hellish but I continued, I stopped as blood profusely flowed down from my claws, but I wasn’t done, the cave was at the other side of the mountain so I jumped to the other side of the mountain, as I climbed up my numb heart gave way to just one emotion in the midst of nothing. I am the sole reason for my mistakes and pain, I know I should make mistakes to learn but I wonder what I am to learn from the death of my own family, I can still remember the caucus of my father and mother on the couch, I remember vividly the blood stains on our ever so green table cloth, I remember, I see it all, over and over. Voices rage in my head but in the midst of that storm was a calm, I could save just one, my sister, she is the only family I had, as I got closer to the entrance my sorry heart perceived a calm as a strange but calm light illuminated from the cave. I had finally done it. “I saved one” I said underneath my breath as hope gave me strength to keep pushing forward, on and on barely feeling my hand as blood gushed down from my fist to my shoulder, I know at this rate I may lose my life but I may be saved and also correct my ways.
