Crystal Fangs

The White Mask

Derek P.O.V

I was bored, my game that I like to play was down for maintenance today and I just wanted to get away from my god damn family today. They have been more annoying than normal. Maybe with all the stress, with me and the others, that they wanted me to hurry up and do something with my life, but I keep on telling them that it's not for me! I want to be a gamer! Full time gamer for that matter. I have the looks, so I'm sure the ladies would have something good to look at. My short jet black hair was to die for, some guys would kill for it. Even my lovely sea-blue eyes that you could get lost in forever. Plus, I am very good at games. However, my family is old school. They don't understand how I feel or what I want. My older brother will be taking over the family business soon, so why do I have to get the short end of the stick for my family to get pissed at all the time and today was not ever better at all. They kept on and on about going out, going on dates like a normal person my age. Yeah, a person my age plays games and is on the phone almost 24/7 of the week, but no matter what I say they just seem to get even more pissed at me. So right now, I'm with my best friend Jack. His blond hair was up at his shoulders but always had it in a low ponytail. I don't know why he does not have it cut, but whatever, but his eye is what gets all the girls, because it's those light blue eyes that can get any girls, even guys, to turn heads. We started heading down to our favorite fighting bar. Yep you heard it. A fighting bar. It's a place where you can fight for money and have a good time with good drinks. Kind of like a fight club, so we don't really talk about it. It's a limited place, not a lot of people know about it, not even the police. A few times they almost had this place but got lucky so far. The fight bar seemed to be full today. Must be some good fighters tonight. " Hay, let's go into the VIP room already and get some drinks into us before the fight starts man! " Jack said, jumping up and down like a little kid in a toy shop. I just shook my head at how childish he is sometimes, but I would not change that for the world. We grabbed our normal VIP room, ordered our drinks.

After half an hour, we already had five drinks as the fighters are so boring. If I wanted to be more bored than I am now, then I would have let my mother talk my ear off and you can tell that the other people in the fight bar were starting to get restless too, as the shouting was getting louder and more angry with every minute passing. I could see the owner also getting pissed because he must have thought they would put up a good fight or something. " Alright, alright, I know you are all restless for a good fight! And I have a very good one that is coming up! Someone tonight is stupid to have a death wish because! In this corner! The one and only, your man. TITAN! " Everyone yelled Titan's name over and over again. Very big guy. Nothing but muscle for brains, but he does put up a good fight. Whoever is going up against him will be dead for sure, because that's what the people want now; blood. That's why no one really goes up against Titan in the first place, as it's only if you stay alive and knock him out for you to win and no one..... Came out alive fighting Titan. No one. Also, did I forget this guy is a lycanthrope? Man, they are real beasts! No one has ever seen his lycanthrope forum, not once when fighting here, and I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. " and in this corner! the one that wishes to die! THE WHITE MASK! " Everyone started booing at this unknown masked person. Even my best friend Jack started shouting, yet when that guy entered the room, we were all in shock at how... small this guy was and we could not really see anything about that person. Wearing a white hoodie along with a white mask that covered all of the person's face, but what is more odd about this guy is that I smelled something really nice coming off him. It smelled like a rainy forest with a bit of musk, which is my favourite. Felt like this person was pulling me, wanting to get close and touch him? What? touch? What am I on about? Everyone started shouting, booing and just didn't understand what this was! Some little guy fighting Titan, easy money for sure, but I didn't want this person getting hurt. My body was burning all over as every fiber of my soul just wanted to go over there and keep that masked person safe from Titan. Yet I held myself together as I kept myself from moving out of my chair. " I know it does not seem like a good match, but trust me. This is one fight you would not want to miss. " He said with this creepy ass smile on his face before jumping out of the arena. The two are standing in each corner of the arena. Titan looks a bit scared? No that can't be. No one scares the big Titan. His face didn't show it but his eyes did and the white masked guy was just standing there, so calm. I think everyone in the room could feel it, some even went as far as changing the person they were betting on. " Hay.. Derek. There is something very wrong about that white masked guy. I can feel... I don't know.... scared. " Jack whispered to me. " Yeah... but... I .. erm yeah It's odd. " I could not put it into words, but what I felt was not fear, it was more of a pull. Something my soul needed, no, wanted so very much. The bellring, telling people that the fight had started and no one made a sound. Both Titan and that masked guy stood there, waiting to see if one of them were going to take the first punch, but I already knew that Titan was going to go first, as he does not like waiting for very long. " AHHHH!!! " Titan yelled as he ran over to the other guy, his right hand already in a fist up into the air as he swing down at the mask guy. Called it. Yet we didn't see what happened next, as one moment Titan swung his arm down and, I'm very sure he hit him, but the next we see is Titan on the floor with the masked guy just a few feet from the life of him, like he never even got close to him at all. What the hell happened? What is that masked guy? We see Titan get up onto his feet, looking real pissed off now as he starts to take another swing after another, yet we see Mr masked guy dodging them with ease as if he knows what would happen. It's kind of scary if you ask me because Titan misses every punch he makes, as we all know that one punch from him is death. However, I had this gut feeling that it would not kill this guy. I wanted the masked guy to win. I don't want this feeling of him getting hurt... What is wrong with me?! " Come on! " Jack started yelling at Titan, but I can see him smiling because no one has lasted this long with Titan. We are watching on the edge of our chairs right now. Some people yelling, others booing, cheering. A full house is getting what they wanted. A good fight for a change. Soon we could see Titan slowing down from trying to hit the guy. Is this what he was planning all along? Get him tired and finish Titan off? I mean that it is a good plan, others have just gone for it and died, but this masked guy was really thinking about it, planning each and every move. Titan stopped his attacks, trying to catch his breath. CRACK! With a blink of an eye the small masked guy took a swing at him and right on the nose! Damn! Blood all over Titan's face and screaming in pain. What the hell? Like what just happened?! His masked guy is small yet he managed to give one hell of a punch to a lycanthrope!? Holy s**t! Before Titan could even do anything about his nose, the masked man did another punch in the stomach, then another made Titan cough up blood for a change and not the other way around! Titan didn't have a chance to even change into his lycanthrope forum at all because this other guy was landing punch after punch, as we could all hear the bones cracking. Before anyone could see what happened next, Titan was flying out of the arena, making people move out of the way so no one would be landing under the big guy. " He is unconscious!! " One of the people yelled as he got a bit closer. Again, the whole area was quiet because no one had ever won against him. " THE WINNER! THE WHITE MAKED! " The referee shouted, pulling the masked man's arm up, showing our winner for the night. Everyone just screamed. Over joyed for most of them but the people that bet on Titan would be pissed and upset from this. The bar is in full swing now, music blasting away, people singing and dancing. Now the fight is over, poor Titan had to be dragged into a different room and that masked guy just disappeared and that upset me big time. No.. I needed to go find him. This person has made me feel a lot of things tonight and it is bugging the hell out of me. I got up and told jack I would be right back, only for me to get out of him. It was 'OK!' and he went back to dancing with two hot women. One of them tried to dance with me, more like tried to lap dance on me when that fight was over, but I just could not take that small guy from the fight out of my mind. I made my way to the changing room where the fighters come and go to get changed and get cleaned up. However, once I got in there, the masked guy was not there but I could smell that rainy forest with a bit of musk in there, so I followed it to the exit at the back of the changing room. He left? But why? I kept on following that lovely smell outside all the way to the streets where I spotted the white hoodie not too far away. I was about to call out to him when a car pulled up. They seemed to be talking but not in a good way as the guy came out of his car. He was tall and, by the smell, it was a werewolf. What pissed me off was how this werewolf was putting his hands on what's mine! Wait? Mine? I am not into guys! Am I? I thought to myself, but the next thing I saw was the werewolf taking off the hoodie off the white mask and what shocked me was I was seeing a girl! WAIT WHAT?! A GIRL!? Took down The Titan!? What the fu..... wait... Before I could even wrap around my head what the hell was going on, the werewolf guy took my lovely fighter into the car with him. OH Hell no! She mine! Yet even with my speed I could not catch up, lucky for me, I took a photo of the car's plates before taking off. " I'm going to find you my sweet snowdrop. " I muttered to myself as a smile crept up onto my face. So much has happened in one day and, for once, I can understand now why the smell of her was making me crazy. She is my one and only. My ture soulmate. My lover. My everything. That's why I felt so scared of him... her to be getting hurt. s**t. This is going to drive me crazy.
