Chapter 3

Eric charged at the beasts in lightening speed, colliding hard to one of the beast stomach with a tucked in elbow, it send the beast flying and smashing against a building making a huge hole in it

The other beast bounce on Eric with his claws fully extended and it's mouth wide open but Eric did as if he was falling on the floor then use the beast force and momentum against it, by catapulting it to the sky with his legs

ROARRRR he roared as he went after the one he sent smashing through the wall, it was slowly getting to it's feet when Eric landed a hard and painful kick to it in its rib like a ball and he sent it crashing to the roof and back to the floor

The creature groaned in pain and Eric was enjoying the pain he was coursing it, he held it by its tail and drag it out of the building

The other beast stood and watched as Eric drag the almost lifeless body of its friend, Eric could sense the fear in it but he knew it wasn't going to back down and he wanted it no other way

He threw the beast he held by the tail to a tree like it was nothing and the tree over

“ come get yours ” he said daring the beast to make a move at him

The beast moved icircles around Eric growling angrily and measuring him while Eric just stood in his position waiting for it to make a move and he also had a eye on the other beast he threw against the tree

ROARRRR the beast pounced on him stretching its claws completely but Eric dodged it by rolling on the ground, they repositioned themselves quickly facing themselves eye to eye

Eric huffed the beast growled and they charged against each other...

The other beast had recovered a bit and it looked to surprise Eric again but Eric was alert to it this time around. As he charged to meet one beast the other was charging at him in his back

Eric made an attempt as if he was going to jump head on to the beast but instead he slide on the ground and both beast collided with one another in a horrible manner

Eric extended his claws fully and grabbed and stabbed one of the beast straight into his chest reaching for it's heart, the beast howled in great pain as Eric held his heart

All he needed to do was pull it out and the beast would be dead, unlike Eric the best could heal but they ain't immortals so if a vital organs like the heart or there head is removed they can't grow it back

Eric squeeze his heart inside its chest coursing the beast to howl even louder and the other beast tried to come to the aid of its friend but Eric pinned it down by stepping on its head hard back to the ground

He could feel it's heart beat on his hand and he was ready to pull it out then he looked at the beast eyes which looked scared and defeated and for some reasons he withdrew his hand from its chest spearing it's life, and the beast went crashing down on the floor breathing heavily then he transformed back to his friend Christopher

He also removed his foot on the other beast head and he stared at them for a while with a look that lacked any expression, then his ears caught sound of something and his nose picked the scent of humans coming to there direction and instead of Eric killing them all he sped off and vanished never to be seen or heard of again.....

“ wow what an incredible story, he most have realized that the beast was actually his friend that's why he spared it life ” Clara assumed

“ you may be right but Vampire don't have a heart, it's not in there nature to feel pity so it was really a strange act by him ” Mathias said

“ but what really was the course of the girl death that led to Eric being cursed? ” Clara asked

“ according to my grandfather it was discovered that the girl was bitten by a deadly spider, the black widow and that's actually the course of her death ” Mathias said

“ poor girl, most have been a painful death.... But since Eric was never seen or heard from again it means the two werewolves didn't pretty much have to fight against anyone again right? ” Clara asked

“ that was not the case, you see it was later discovered that those people Eric had bitten but he didn't kill, all of them caught up with some kind of fever that made them scream in agonizing pain then they all died but after some minutes they woke up and became blood suckers just like Eric

The two werewolves had to save the village again from this set of new blood sucking demons but surprisingly they found it much easier to kill this new set of vampires, they were not as strong as there making Eric... ” Mathias narrated but had to stop when some students who looked like bullies came up to them

Clara noticed that Mathias all of a sudden looked scared and she knew it was the presence of the four boys, three of them where huge and big while the fourth one was a normal sized teenager but surprisingly he was there leader and spoke man

“ what do we have here, Mathias is actually talking to someone, a girl? And a pretty one at that ” he said checking Clara out

“ what do you want? ” Mathias said in a scared and shaky voice

“ funny you ask that question, how about you give us your lunch money and we spare you the embrassment of walking the school without your pants on ” the boy said in a threatening way

Mathias was quick in bringing out his wallet and he took all the money out from it and was about handing it over to the boy before Clara stopped him

“ you would do no such thing ” she said holding his hand and putting it down

“ it's OK really ” Mathias said fearing what they would do to him or Clara

“ No it's not OK, how can you give them all your money! And you guys should be ashamed of yourself bullying an innocent boy ” Clara said boldly not intimidated by them

“ do you know who you are messing with? ” The boy asked

“ I don't give a damn who you are, you can be the president son for all I care but that doesn't mean I will seat and watch you mistreat my friends ” Clara said and she could see a smile formed on Mathias face when she called him her friend

“ careful there little girl, no one talks to Steven like that and goes free ”one of the huge boys said

Steven made a wicked smile “ don't worry boys she will find out the hard way....Let's go ” he said but stared at Clara for some seconds then at Mathias before leaving

“ what have you done ” Mathias said really scared

“ I just saved your lunch money ” Clara joked

“ No you just made things worse, they will surely beat me up now... And you are not safe yourself ” Mathias said and was in a hurry to leave

“ where are you going to? ” Clara asked

“ I have to get away from here ” He said then left the class

Clara looked confused, she actually thought she was helping him but it seems she just made things worse

“ where is the damn teacher when you need them ” she said...

Meanwhile Adams had been watching what was happening, how she stood up to those bully and he was impressed

“ who is that girl? ” he asked his best friend Noah

“ I don't know, nobody really knows she is new, she came in yesterday ” Noah said

“ and she is already picking a fight? She most be trouble ” Ella, Adams girlfriend said clearly not a fan of Clara

“ I think she is brave ” Adams said

“ or stupid ” Noah said

“ am going with stupid ” Ella said smiling “ she has no idea what she has gotten herself into, nobody is stupid enough to pick a fight with Steven ”

“ except you happen to be Adams am I right ” Noah said shaking his friend hands and they had a laugh....

Clara turned at there direction and she saw Adams and his friends Laughing while looking at her direction and she concluded they were laughing at her and that made her feel uncomfortable couple with the fact that his girlfriend was giving her a mean look

She stood up and left the lab and headed straight to the female restroom, on her way to the restroom she came across some group of students laughing and taking pictures of something they found funny with there phone cameras

Clara slowly walked to where they where and pushed herself to the front and she saw Mathias pinned up to his locker he had his pants ( trousers ) fallen from his waist and resting on his shoes

He had a cut on his mouth and some bruises on his face, he looked like someone who just got ran over by a train and Clara knew this got Steven written all over it, she quickly tired to help him down but everyone else was just kept on laughing and taking pictures

“ it's alright Mathias, I will get you down from there ” she said to him and he was so weak to give a response

“ what's wrong with you all!! ” Clara screamed “ please help me get him down from here ” she pleaded with them since it was proving an impossible task for her alone

But they just ignored her and continued taking pictures..

Then Anna and her friend Caleb came out from the crowd

“ my God! Who did this to him ” Caleb said and he quickly helped Clara

Anna also lend a helping hand and together they brought him down

The on looking students murmured in disappointment that the fun was over and they gradually left one after the other

Caleb help dressed him properly while Anna called Clara to one side

“ what are you doing? ” She said to Clara

“ what do you mean? ” Clara said confused

“ you know what am talking about, I told you to stay away from him he is no good ” Anna said

“ I can't believe you just said that, he is harmless, it's the rest of the students in this school that have a problem, how can they all just stand there laughing and watching as a human being suffer

That's barbaric and plain evil...look at him does he look dangerous to you, what's wrong if he talks about Vampires and werewolves all the time, I myself enjoy watching vampire movies and werewolves classic and am sure all most everyone here talking bad about him does likewise

So tell me what does that make you all?... I will tell you, hypocrite ” Clara said really angry

Then she looked at the far end of the hallway and there stood Steven smiling his arms folded at his back and as usual he was with his dogs

Clara wanted to charge at him and break his nose for what he did to Mathias but Anna held her back

“ be calm, I see now how foolish I have been for labelling someone a weirdo for liking the things I like only that am scared and ashamed to admit it...

He isn't weird neither is he dangerous but Steven is, he is really dangerous and you shouldn't pick a fight with him, you have seen what he can do so let's just quietly back down ” Anna said trying to reason with Clara

But Clara was still very much angry “ coward!!!...you are a damn coward! Yes am talking to you Steven or what the hell your name is ” she yelled at his direction

Steven just kept on smiling which kept irritated Clara the more...

Clara has always been an activist against anti social behavior in her former school such as bullying, drug abuse and child abuse, she hates it so much when someone is being mistreated unfairly and she could do anything in her power to fight against anyone doing such

“ you won't say anything will you? Jerk! Coward!! ” she screamed at him even more

“ it's OK Clara ” Anna said dragging her away

“ what? ” She barked at her

“ look around you, you are coursing a scene ” Anna muttered to her

“ really am the one coursing the scene here? What kind of people are in this school ” she said then walked to meet Mathias who was sitting on the floor

“ am sorry Mathias this is all my fault, I didn't know he was such a jerk ” Clara said

“ ...you shouldn't.. have yelled.. at him, he will come after you ” Mathias struggled to speak

“ am not scared of him ” Clara said

Mathias laughed painfully “ you are brave I will hand that to you ...but you should be careful ” he said

They helped him to his feet and gently walked him to the school clinic....

After school hours

“ hello mom when are you coming to pick me up, I have been waiting for a while now ” Clara said on the phone

“ oh baby, am sorry forgive me I forgot to call you and tell you that I won't be coming to pick you up from school today am really busy at work ” her mom said

“ mommm you should have told me this earlier, I could have followed Anna in her mom's car ” Clara said sounding disappointed

“ am sorry baby, don't be angry at mama you can take a cab or a train OK, I love you ” she said over the phone

“ you know I hate using the train, I will stop a cab ” Clara said

“ alright sweetheart, I love you ” her mom said again

“ love you too ” Clara muttered then the call ended

Before she could see a cab she had to trek down a hilly road inbetween a forest of trees to get to the main road where she can get a cab, Clara knew she wasn't going to enjoy this one bit

She braced herself and started the long and lonely trek down, she plugged in her ear set and played a random song from her phone play list...

Justin Bieber sorry started playing and Clara moved her head slowly to the beat of the song as she walked down the hilly road her head facing down

But something just kept telling her to raise her head up and when she did she saw one of Steven boys standing on the road, her heart skipped as she slowly stepped backwards and as she turned she saw another one at that direction also

And yet another one came out from one side of the forest and Steven himself came out from the other side

“ well well well what do we have here ” Steven said with an evil smile...
