Fight or Flight

Unexpected visitor

         My head snaps up from the book as a crashing sound is heard above us. I share a glance with William uncertain as to what to do I still know very little about my heritage and of my kind but at the same time I don’t want any to die if there’s intruders. Without thought I race to the massive book laying on the podium grab it. “Come on!” William rushing behind following my every step as we race up stares as another crashing sound sounds through the house. As I reach the threshold into the house where the questioning sounds are coming from I enter the living I gasp with horror as my dad is being lifted by the man holding him then slams him with a devastating force shaking the house’s foundation. One of my hands covers my mouth to mute the sob that threatens to escape. 

          The man raises himself til he’s standing up straight and I could tell from the force of the slam accompanied by the thinking smell of metallic that he was dead. I couldn’t contain the whimper as my eyes lands on Mom’s lifeless mangled body getting the strangers attention. His eyes narrow while inspecting me then land on the book in my arms. His lips curve up revealing his sharp pearly white teeth at me. His voice sent shivers down my spine “So what do we have here?” William moves me aside from the door way to step in front of me protectively releasing a warning growl. My body trembles uncontrollably while steadily crying in silence morning over my parents as silence falls upon the room.

The mysterious just stands there unfazed glaring at us before breaking the silence smiling mischievous “I normally don’t kill unmarked bodies but I’ll make and exception if you refuse to hand that book over” the longer this mysterious man’s presence lingers the more my blood boils til it’s too the point of overflowing. I lose control of myself as I push William aside snaking the massive book at his stomach in the process. I could feel my eyes changing its color while my nails and canine teeth lengthen glaring menacingly at the man stepping forward. My voice took a lower guttural husky sound while speaking “I’ll end you for what you’ve done here today” he mimicked my actions stalking forward til we were a foot apart intently eyeing each other anticipating who was to make the first move as we move in a circle. My patience began disappearing as the seconds ticked by.

Thankfully it lasted longer than the man’s. He lunged forward aiming his left hand claws for my throat. I simply leaned far enough back quickly stepping to the left grabbing the back of his neck using his momentum to lift him in the air above my body slamming him on the ground in front of me. The sound of bones snapping  and yelping from the impact left me smiling. I backed away waiting for him to get back up but all he did was raise his body a little then landed back on the ground grunting. I couldn’t resist as the cruel thought crossed my brain. “Serves you right you f*****g p***y”

I stalk forward as though he is my prey kneeling beside him grabbing his hair yanking his head up to reveal his bloody and battered face. Now your gonna answer some questions I have if you refuse I’ll give you a valid enough of one do you understand? He turned his face a little spitting blood on my face. “your dead b***h” I wiped the mixture of blood and saliva from my face before speaking. That was seriously gross dude but if you want pain I guess all I can do is oblige. I shrugged my shoulders placing my free hand on the small of his back pausing to give him one last chance “last chance you sure you don’t want to talk?” Do your worst b***h.

I could see William from the side shaking his head in disapproval “Your definitely gonna regret that” I imply pressure slowly puncturing his skin dragging my claws up his back. He roars in agony as a small puddle accumulates around his body. His back heals faster than any human “Is that all you’ve got?” I laugh looking up to William “Bring me a knife or scissors please.” William audibly gulped reading my mind with what I’m about to do next. William says something just before searching for scissors or a knife “I promise you want to answer her questions before I come back because there won’t be much left to call you a man afterwards.

This has him shaken “Wait what?!” What is she going to do? I lock eyes with the man baring my sharpened whit teeth “Now where is the fun in that besides did you show my parents mercy?” Please mercy I’ll tell you whatever you want to know just please don’t snip me! For f***s sake I will tell you anything you want to know just spare my jewels! How’s about this depending on how important the information is depends what i will do next, how’s that sound? WHAT THE f**k THAT ISN’T ANY BETTER! 

I didn’t notice William had already retrieved scissors and was standing by my side extending them out to me. I nod at him in appreciation. The man wiggles beneath me yelling “OK OK ILL DO IT JUST LEAVE MY BALLS ALONE!”
