The Extinct Race

Chapter 2

s**t.

I forgot to take my pills again. It’s not the end of the world, I'll just won't tell Dr Wu that. If I do that I'll be seeing her twice a week than, one therapy session a week is more than enough.

Ilaria even turn the music down in the car. And the first time in my life I don’t like the silence even Nash is quite. Why am I so f****d up, they’re my only friends and I treat them like s**t? I mean Ilaria knows about the things I see that other people can’t. If I tell Nash that I can see spirits he’ll just ask me if I can share the drugs I’m using. f*****g i***t.

Looking out the passenger window, it is such a beautiful spring day the flowers in bloom and the birds chirping. That’s odd, where are all of the spirits?

Usually they’re out by this time. Something is wrong.

After passing the woods we finally reached our school. Articon Academy, the best art school in the country. It was built by hunters for hunters, The Seven Clans to be exact. Each of us are apart of a clan.

Ilaria Serebryanyy, that crazy Russian blonde. Is part of the Serebryanyy Clan they are known for their brutality and their physical strength. They rule the entire Russia and Ukraine and a part of India.

Nash’s real name is Gnashton Argento. The Argento Clan, they are sadly not known for their food but for their knowledge and the brewing of poisons. They rule the entire Europe along with Holzpfahl Clan and the Clan de pieu en bois.

Holzpfahl Clan, those Germans do know how to party and how to build weapons. And the snobs themselves, Clan de pieu en bois. The French think they are the best just because they invented the first crossbow back in the 5th century BC and for that they are treated like royalty. They know how to build up your emotional strengths.

Both the Argenti Clan and the Yìn Clan are the most intelligent clans because of the Latin’s knowledge of herbs and spice in making of antidotes and medicine. Cyber Technology and hacking is what Chinese are known for.

The Yìn Clan rule over Asia while the Argenti Clan rule South America and Mexico.

And finally me with my full name, Malakai Flynn Silwer. I’m part of the Silwer Clan, who rule over Africa, Arabia and a part of America. For we work with nature, it was said that the first hunter who started this clan could bend all four the elements.

The funny thing is that the clans say they rule the world. In fact, normal humans don’t know we exist much less the shadow creatures. We hide in plain site sure some clan members are kings and queens, presidents, chief of police, doctors, teachers or even five-star generals in the army. And I wonder who might be the chefs...

The other thing that I notice is that if you translate each and all of the clan's names it says silver or wooden stake in English.

Maybe if I wasn’t blood-related to that hunter my parents wouldn’t be killed because of my secret…that I can see the dead and bend the elements.

They were the only ones who knew the truth about me.

Passing through the school gate, parking at our parking. The second the car stopped Nash jumps out the car practically running through the front doors. Getting out the car Ilaria immediately stopping me.

“You should apologize Kai.” She snaps at me then turns around walking away.

This morning couldn’t get any better, f**k I have Home Language first. Leaving the parking lot, I went through the school doors and immediately went to the third floor in the East Wing of the school to get to my class.

This school is filled with rich people yet there are no elevators only stairs a lot of stairs.

Opening the classroom door, first person here. Like always. As the time went by sitting at my desk the class started to fill with all the Grade 11 Silwer Clan students and finally Mrs. Schmidt, the Afrikaans Home Language teacher a real b***h if you ask me. She made me fail an essay just because the story wasn’t interesting. Coughing, this woman wears why too many cheap perfumes.

Immediately starting a new lesson, the minute Mrs. Schmidt puts her bag on her chair.

I don’t even bother listening in on the lesson I already know what going on with the work and I am two weeks worth of work ahead of the rest of the class. Looking out the window, still no spirits.

Something is wrong, I can feel it in bones. It is extremely quiet even for the spirit, last time something like this happened was the day I lost the two most important people in my life.

Ring

That’s the school bell, but it has only been 20 minutes and the periods are an hour long.

Ring

Must be another fire drill, if it was three bell rings, we’re under att-

Riiing!

“Werewolves!” Some shouted outside the classroom.

“This is not a drill I repeat this is not a drill we are under attack. Please go to the bunkers.” Principal Hudson says on the intercom.

This is the first attack we had in over two years, it is understandable why everyone is panicking. Everyone is rushing to go downstairs to the bunkers located under our school.

I should help fight the werewolves, where should I go?

The rooftop.

Of course, if I go there I’ll have a clear view of the woods. Running down the hall constantly bumping into other students, making my way to the end off the hall.

Seeing the exit to the roof, sprinting through the door and up the stairs and through the other door finally reaching the rooftop. Running to the edge showing the entire East and South wing of the school.

Looking around for any sight of the werewolves. They are coming directly for the East wing thousands off them emerging from the woods, they are not alone…Lycans.

This is why there’s no spirits around it's because of the Lycans. This is not good at all. Hearing another bells ringing, the bunker doors are now closed.

I need to focus if I’m going to help them. Just breath in and breath out while closing my eyes. I can hear their paws stomping on the ground, I can feel their movements knowing the direction their running to.

Balling my hands into fists, opening my eyes again.

“Lets do this.” Now I am talking to myself, it is official I am crazy.

Concentrating, I can feel the ground starting shaking causing the wolves to stop running. In a result causing the ground to start collapsing all around the border of where the woods start, stopping the wolves.

Where is that scratching sound coming from? Looking over the edge seeing two massive Lycans clawing their way up to where I am.

Turning around slowly I quickly run over to the door exiting the rooftop and walking into the hall. Turning around the corner I hear growling not one but multiple. Slowly turning my head to see my death.

Don’t piss them off, don’t piss them off.

“Eh, you need to shave you have a little moustache.” I f*****g hate myself.

They are shifting, hearing their bones breaking and healing itself made me sick from my stomach up.

Hearing no further bones breaking means the stopped shifting.

Turning my entire body to face them I notice their naked. Are these things not embarrassed to be naked in front of a stranger? Noticing they’re twins and judging by their auras they are Alphas.

Both of them have black hair and both have the same facial features, both of their skin is tanned and they are ripped.

Probably means they're trained to kill. The only difference is their eyes, they have both blue eyes but the one on the right’s eyes are a darker blue around its pupils.

“Are you Flynn…Cel…uh…cellfour?” the one on the right asks unsure about the surname, I guess.

“Do you mean Silwer?” Asking him.

“Yes!” The reply simultaneously. Now that s**t is creepy.

“Never heard off it.” I say turning to take my leave.

“Didn’t your mother ever tell you it is rude to lie?” The one asks smirking. No, he did not say that.

“Does your mommy know that her precious little puppies are outside?” I shot back, knowing that pissed them off. Only getting growls in return.

“We know what you are Flynn.” This time it was the one on the left talking.

“What, the person whose gonna kick both of your asses.” Great now I am sounding like Nash.

“Why you’re a Soldier of Nature.”
