Winterville City Wild woods, Eastern Winterville. Deep in the wild woods, on the night of a full moon. Howling sounds could be heard at a distant, same with the unending rustling of leaves, but the most attention attracting sound in these woods was the feminine voice making silent cries for help as it's owner sped through the woods. She was panting heavily, her face all covered in sweat. She removed her blue jacket, leaving only her pink vest, accompanied with her blue jeans. Her left leg collided with a log of wood and she tripped, landing on the floor.
She was tired, she wept silently whilst staggering to get on her feet, and continue the Sprint. But deep down she knew she needed to find somewhere and hide, but the terrific wild creatures on her tail were closing in on her. She regretted ever coming into the woods with her friends, Taylor and Kamilia, now she didn't know if they were safe, or they'd been turned into dinner by those horrible looking creatures that attacked them. Suddenly she heard thuds, giant thuds, she knew they were close, she managed to get up and tried to continue the Sprint but a large figure landed in front of her, making her stumble backwards. She screamed loudly as the creature got closer, it had a large head, and fangs, it's eyes were glowing yellow. How could a wild animal be standing on it's feet. She continued moving backwards, amidst screams. The Creature opened it's mouth and gave out a loud roar, it felt like it was calling someone. A slight cracking sound was heard behind the beast, and it dropped down dead. A humanoid figure was left standing as the beast went down. He had just killed the beast with one strike. She had no idea who the man was, but she knew he was another dangerous creature, weird things are happening in just one night. "Who...who are you?" She stammered. The man walked towards her, his mere walking steps sent shivers down her spine. "Let me help you" The man's voice sounded like that of a teenager. "Please don't hurt me!" "Please don't.....please don't.....!" She couldn't complete her statement before everything went blank and she became unconscious, shutting her eyes. *Black out* "Lucia! Wake up, you're gonna be late for school!" Her mother's voice rang in her head. The sun rays pierced through her windows, into her room, reflecting on her face. Her eyes slowly opened up, her blurry vision cleared out after some seconds, she sat up on her bed, she was still wearing her pink vest and jeans, she felt a slight headache. She tried remembering all that happened, but nothing came inside her head, it's like her memories of last night had been erased. She didn't even notice her mom standing by the door. "Good morning Mom!" She greeted, getting up from her bed. "Did you have a nightmare again sweetie?" "N..no.mom" she stammered. "Are you okay?" Her mom asked again. "Yes, mom, I'm all good!" "Alright then! Get ready, your father's waiting, he'll drop you off at school today" Her mom concluded before exiting the room. Lucia heaved a sigh of relief, like some weight had been dropped off her shoulders, she wondered why though. Mr Jacob Keystone, the father to Lucia Keystone, dressed in his black Italian suit, and holding a briefcase was standing beside his black ranger Rover, waiting for his daughter to come out, so they would get going. He pulled out the car keys from his pockets and opened the driver's door. Just then, Lucia rushed out of the house, wearing a brown leather jacket and a blue top, accompanied with a black tight skirt and sneakers. Her backpack was hung on her back. "All set, Dad" Lucia excitedly said as she rushed inside the car. The car's engine hummed to life, and they drove away, heading towards Lucia's school. Winterville High School, Southern Winterville. Mr Jacob's car pulled at the spot meant for car packing and Lucia stepped out. "Oh, Lucia, I forgot to ask, how was last week's literature test?" Mr Jacob asked. "Well, it went smoothly Dad, and guess what, you turned out to be a great teacher!" She commented. "Thanks honey, now you stay safe out there okay?" "Right, bye Dad!" She waved him goodbye as she walked away. Mr Jacob watched as she navigated through the partitioned road leading to the main gate, he sighed before driving away. Lucia waved at some students studying near the walls as she moved on towards her class. She had almost forgot it was a Tuesday morning, both students and teachers moved here and there, some studying, others rushing to class, the sports participants dressed in their field jerseys moved in a straight line towards the sports field. She walked towards a canteen beside the school library and checked if she could find Kamilia and Taylor, but they weren't there. She removed her phone from her backpack and dialed Kamilia's Number, the call wasn't going through. She was starting to get worried, she walked into the school library, whilst dialing Taylor's number, her's connected. "Hey, where are you guys?" She asked. "Hey nuthead, we are at the locker facility" "You better get here fast" Taylor and Kamilia's voices came at the other end of the phone. Lucia hung up amidst laughter, they were two important people in her life, they had been friends since the first day at school. Lucia walked into the locker facility and sighted her two naughty and adventurous friends. "What's up big girl, you got lost?" Kamilia asked her. "Crabhead" Lucia said and they all burst into laughter. "Don't you think we should be headed to class, I mean it's almost past eight" Taylor said. "Excuse me" A boy's voice came from behind them, they all turned to see a boy, probably sixteen years of age, dressed in a white sleeveless top, brown shoes, and brown trousers. His hair was neatly combed, he had this look of confidence in him. "How you doing pretty boy?" Kamilia teased, and they all burst into laughter. The boy was intimidated. "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to" Lucia partially apologized. "Okay.....I wanted to....." He didn't even finish speaking before Taylor tapped them both. "We should get going" "Sorry, we have a class to attend, next time" she pleaded, referring to the boy. 'Aren't these three so weird' the boy thought. "They wouldn't even hear what I had to say" the boy complained before walking away. Kyle walked stealthily towards the chemistry department block, he was trailing after a set of boys, Hitler and his gang of bullies. He was donned in a black hoodie and a blue baggy trouser, he was certain that this was the pack of werewolves that attacked three girls in the woods last night, he could feel their aura. He was glad he'd managed to save them, and erase their memories in time, else, God knows what would've happened to them. Step by step, block by block, he walked after them as they went on, laughing and discussing, they made a turn to the left and entered a corner in the second block of the chemistry department. 'What are they up to?' Kyle thought. One of the boys looked back, but Kyle swiftly hid behind a wall, and when he stuck out his head to check their movements, they were gone! No sign of them. He had to get out of there fast, he didn't want to get in a fight with them, at least not now! He took two steps back and in the Blink of an eye, he was gone. He had sped out of there, courtesy of his vampire speed. An eerie kind of silence dominated the scene, no one could utter a word, everyone was filled with fear and grief. Both students, and teachers watched as the cops carried the corpses of two of the school's security men away. Some students had found the bodies about thirty minutes ago and raised an alarm. They were found, brutally murdered outside the school's clinic, their arms and legs had been pulled out, bite marks all over their bodies, everyone thought an animal did this. This was the fourth time they were having an 'animal' attack like this in two weeks. Kyle walked towards the scene, devastated by the occurence, he scanned the area, in search of Alan, his Elder brother. He found him, standing next to some students, dressed up in a black suit like the 90's citizens, watching the scene. He walked briskly towards him, and pulled him out of the crowd. "What's up with you?" Alan asked, a little bit annoyed. "I think I found out who's behind these recent killings" Kyle said. "And who do you think that might be?" Alan asked. "Hitler and his pack, they're growing stronger and enlarging in numbers everyday, we need to stop them?" "Don't go there kid, the plan was to lay low and stay put, we just arrived here months ago, and you expect us to start creating problems again" Alan said, raising his voice a little bit. "Come on brother, innocent people are dying, we have to help them?" Kyle argued. "And after that? We attract Hitler's wrath? Huh?" "And the weredragons, you want them to find us again?" Alan pointed out. "Come on, these people are beneath us, they don't stand a chance against we hybrids and we're literally immortal. Kyle protested. "Come on, we're on the run for our lives, for ten thousand years, we've barely settled down to live a life, and now that we've gotten that here, you want us to barge into something that isn't our concern?" "How could you be so cruel brother?" He paused for a while. "Listen, I'm doing this, with or without your help!" Kyle concluded before walking away. "Ugh" "So arrogant" Alan spurted out, he hated the fact that Kyle was so sturbborn, this was what got them almost killed in their previous lives.
Winterville high school Kyle walked brisky away from the scene, ignoring his brother who failed to reason things out with him. He thought of how the weredragons killed both their parents who tried to protect them ten thousand years ago. The weredragons are the sworn enemies of the Vampire/Werewolf hybrids, they had been believed to have gone extinct almost a decade ago, but they resurfaced and came back to end all supernaturals, powerful enough to stand in their way.
So far only the original vampires, the Vaewolves, the Werewolf/Vampire Lords, and some witches have been able to stand up to them but all have fallen. No one was powerful enough to end the reign of the weredragons, so some yielded, most fled for their lives. Alan and Kyle are both on the run for their lives, as Vaewolves, they are been hunted by the weredragons and it was only a matter of time. Kyle gulped down saliva at the thought of this. 'When would he stop being a jerk' He thought, he was really deep in thoughts while walking really fast that he didn't notice three girls walking towards him as well. Boom! He bumped into one of them, the one dressed in a brown jacket, pink top, and a skirt. "Hey watch it" One of the girsl said. "Are you blind or something?" Another girl asked. "It's okay Kamilia" the girl he bumped into said to them. Kyle was speechless for seconds, these were the girls he saved last night in the woods. Too bad he had erased their memories, so they couldn't remember him. "I...I'm..I'm sorry" he stammered, not knowing what else to say. Lucia stared into his crystal-like eyes for a while, somehow he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she met him. He had a neatly combed hair, and pink curvy lips. Kyle stared helplessly at her too, he didn't know she was this beautiful, he scanned her from head to toe, her lips, cheeks, hair, chest, and even her thighs which were partly revealed. "Why's he staring at you like that?" Taylor broke the silence and Lucia gave her the 'i don't know' look. "Let's go" Kamilia said, dragging Lucia and Taylor along with her. Kyle watched as they walked away, leaving him in a startled position. He smiled to himself, not knowing what he was feeling at the moment. "The guy's acting weird" "But he's actually cute though" "Oh, you think so? Why didn't you ask for his name, or address then?" Kyle's supernatural hearing abilities allowed him to eavesdrop on their discussion as they went. The creaking sound of the front door of Kyle's house could be heard as he walked into his living room. He removed his hoodie and threw it carelessly on the couch, he then sat on the wooden chair beside the couch and rested his back on it, amidst wide grins. There was a large wall clock hung on the left part of the living room, and a flower vase on the table situated at the middle. Kyle's thoughts ran back to the moment he bumped into Lucia, too bad he didn't know her name. "Hey watch it!" "Are you blind or something?" "It's okay Kamilia!" The dialogues repeated themselves in his head, he needed to find this girl. "Love sick aren't you?" Alan's voice came from the right side of the room, he turned to see Alan sitted on the second couch, vampires and their speed! "It's none of your business, sh*thole" "It's Lucia right?" Alan asked. At the mention of the name Lucia, Kyle's thoughts went wild. "How did you know that's her name?" "Oh, come on little bro, you know I'd do anything for you!" Alan teased. "You went stalking on her?!" Kyle retorted, now getting annoyed. "And by the way, she has a nice scent!" Alan teased the more. "If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll make sure I....." Kyle was saying when suddenly. Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Alan was standing in front of him, with an evil grin. "You'll what?" Kyle leapt at him with his right palm pushed forward, there was a collision which sent both of them flying into the concrete walls of their room. Kyle let go of Alan, and took two steps backwards. "Threaten me again, and I'll end her existence in within minutes" Alan said, before bursting into laughter. "A*shole!" Kyle cursed inwardly before speeding into his room. Lucia's head was banging in the melodious sound of Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You! Courtesy of her headphones on max volume. 'who was that guy?' 'Why did she feel like she'd met him before?' 'She needed to find out' Lucia hummed inwardly to the music as these thoughts ran through her mind. The feeling she was having now, it's been years since she last felt that way, she was wondering why, but who was she to 'not give-in to it?' She pulled off the headphones from her ears, just in time to pick a call from Kamilia. "What's up sucker?" She joked. "Hey, remember that guy from earlier today?" Kamilia's voice came through the phone. "Yeah, what about him?" "Well, news just got round, he's Dead!" Kamilia said. "What!" "How?" "Animal attack! We'll talk more tomorrow!" Kamilia said and hung up. Lucia was perplexed, someone she just met today, and now he's dead, such devastating news, too bad she didn't get to talk one on one with him. Next day. Winterville High School. "Hey what's up Winterville's cutest" Taylor joked, as Lucia walked towards them. They were all dressed in fancy looking gowns. Lucia wore a red gown, Kamilia wore green, while Taylor wore a blue gown, they really knew how to turn up. "What's popping damsels?" Lucia joked back as they walked towards the locker facility. "Well, nothing except the death of Mr-Pretty-boy" Kamilia replied sharply. "Wait, were you talking about the first boy we met yesterday or the last one who bumped into me?" Lucia asked, wearing a confused look. Both Kamilia and Taylor shot her stern looks. "I'm talking about the first boy, sucker!" Kamilia retorted. "Oh God!" Lucia said, somehow feeling relieved that it wasn't the boy who bumped into her. "Why are animals attacking people randomly in the school?" Taylor asked, wearing a worried face. "Well, God knows why! But rumours have gone round the school! They think it's a wolf" Kamilia added. "A wolf? What kind of wolf would kill people and cause so much damages like the ones seen on the corpses?" Lucia questioned. "Well, maybe a giant wolf" Kamilia answered. "God help us all!" Lucia concluded as they got to their respective lockers and pulled out the items they needed. They all brought out their literature textbooks because they were having a literature class that morning. "So as stated in our last class, a hyperbole can also be seen as a delibrate or unintentional overstatement, particularly extreme overstatement!" Mr Connor, the literature teacher brielfly explained. He was dressed in a black German suit, there was a white board Marker in his right hand and a textbook in his left hand. The seats were arranged with Ten rows and eight columns. All students were sitted on wooden desks, which had an extra small locker where you could keep other items. Lucia and her associates were sitted at the fourth row, while Kyle was sitted at the sixth row, in the third column. Lucia wasn't even concentrated on what the teacher was saying, nor what her friends were chattering quietly about. Her gaze was fixed on Kyle who was busy taking down notes on his book. The teacher noticed Kamilia and Taylor discussing so he asked a question. "So who's gonna give me an example of an hyperbolic expression in a sentence?" "Misses Kamilia Bright and Taylor Arger, would you mind answering the question?" That's when he got the attention of the duo and most of the students who weren't paying attention earlier. "And please be on standing positions" Mr Connor added. Both Kamilia and Taylor stood up, Lucia smiled inwardly. She had just made an eye contact with Kyle and he smiled back. "Go on!' "Uhm, Alvin is shorter than a broken pencil!" Kamilia answered first. Mr Connor shot her a stern look, as everyone burst into laughter. "Why's everyone laughing, am I not correct?" She protested. "Well, it's hilarious you know!" Lucia replied, both she and Taylor were both laughing. "Silence!" Mr Connor yelled, and silence dominated the classroom. "Both of you, see me after this class!" He said, anger visibly portrayed in his tone. This statement made the both of them gulp down saliva. Kyle shifted his gaze from the teacher towards the window by the left and he saw Hitler and his gang gathered round a platform which had the flag of America on it. They were definitely in the middle of a discussion. Kyle's super hearing abilities kicked in and he eavesdropped on them. "Make sure everything's clear, no traces" Hitler, the alpha of the pack ordered "Yes boss" "Any more questions?" Hitler asked his pack. "Yeah, what about the new guy?" One of his pack members asked. "We'll handle him as soon as we deal with the vampires!" Hitler concluded and gestured for them to start going. Kyle's thoughts went wild, were they planning on killing another innocent person? He had to stop them, but how?
Winterville High School Just outside Mr Connor's office which was located in the arts department's first block, Lucia was scrolling through messages on her Hangouts and replying them, using it as a medium to pass out time whilst waiting for Kamilia and Taylor to finish their meeting inside Mr Connor's office. When someoene tapped her from behind, she turned to see the guy who bumped into her the previous day, staring at her, amidst broad smiles. He was clad in a black shirt with blue stripes and black jeans, accompanied with black sneakers.
His scent dominated the air around her, he had this 'aura' of attraction around him. "Hey!" He called out. "Oh my..you scared the butt outta me" she replied. "I'm sorry about that, your friends must be having a hard time in there right?" He joked. "Definitely, I'm sorry have we met before, you kinda look familiar" She asked politely. "Nope, by the way I'm Kyle, Kyle Rogers" He extended his hand for a handshake. "Lucia Keystone" she shook hands with him. "So, I was wondering if we could go grab lunch later at Crowntime, together?!" "Uh.....uh..... great! Yeah! That would be nice" She stammered, not knowing whether to turn down the request or not. "Alright then, I'll see you there!" Kyle concluded before walking away, beaming with smiles. Lucia was stunned, did she just accept to go out on a lunch date with him? "Hell yeah!" She rejoiced as her heart beat rate became faster. Kyle walked past the main entrance gate of the school and headed towards the main road leading to his street when he sighted one of Hitler's pack member on his trail. Why was he following him? Instead of taking the main road that led straight to his street, he took another narrow path that looked more like a shortcut. He turned to see if the boy was chasing him but he was gone, then everywhere was quiet and calm and this gave him a strange feeling. The air in the surroundings became tensed. He looked around but no one was there, yet he could feel the presence of someone. He turned to keep going but this time, he saw a guy, dressed in a black jacket, standing in front of him. "Who are you?" Kyle asked, this wasn't the guy he saw earlier, what was going on? He could tell that this guy was a vampire, but what did he want with him. "You're not one of us are you?" Another came behind him. Kyle turned to see four more guys behind him. Kyle could see shiny rings on their fingers, he figured these were day walking enchanted rings that allowed vampires to walk freely under the sun. The first one walked towards him, as if he was trying to sniff out something. "You're a vampire, but you're not like us! You're something else, now tell us what you are!" He shouted at the top of his voice, his fangs and claws protracted, same with the others. "You'll have to catch me first" Kyle said and took a step backwards, before speeding away in a blur. The vampires chased after him, tail to tail as he sped past buildings, roads, and led them into the wild woods, where no one could notice them fighting, in order not to attract the attention of supernatural hunters, the worst enemies of supernatural beings. As a Vampire/Werewolf hybrid, Kyle was faster than them, but he had to come up with a plan to escape them, or else! He arrived in the wild woods and hopped on tree branches, from one branch to another, using it as a distraction against his pursuers but he didn't notice a clawed fist coming for his chest. Bam! The vampire's fist collided with Kyle, sending him down to the floor. He quickly sprang up and Maintained a stance as they surrounded him. "Nowhere to run now!" "Fine! You want a fight? I'll give you one!" Kyle shouted as his eyes glowed green and his claws and fangs protracted as well. He sped towards a vampire and dug his claws into his neck, before flinging him away like a ragdoll. He weaved a punch from another vampire and sent his claws right through his chest, pulling out his heart. The first vampire charged at him, with both his claws aimed for his neck, he sped out of the way in evasion and retaliated with a swift kick to the lower abdomen which sent the latter flying into a tree. He grabbed the last vampire attacking by the neck and dug his fangs inside, boring a hole through and throwing him away. Kyle had Superior strength and speed, there was no way there were gonna stand a chance against him. He walked towards the Vampire he just bit, the latter was sprawling on the floor, groaning to the excruciating pains. "I am a Vampire/Werewolf hybrid, you can't survive the bite of a werewolf so stop trying to heal" Kyle taunted as he looked around him. Three of the vampires were dead, but the first one was nowhere to be found. "Looking for me?" The vampire's voice came from behind him. Kyle turned to see six more vampires standing where the vampire once stood, the one he bit was long gone. These vampires looked more vicious, their ferocity could be seen in their dark eyes which also portrayed their anger. "You wanna die? Come on!" Kyle shouted as he braced for impact. But the vampires began backing down, their growls stopped, they all wore perplexed looks. Kyle heard creaking sounds behind him, and he turned to see Hitler and ten of his pack members standing behind him, their eyes all glowing yellow, but no claws or fangs. "What's going on here?" He too was perplexed. Hitler stepped forward and spoke. "I know what you and your pawns did Andrew! Now I don't need to tell you that tonight there's gonna be a full moon, and you know what that means, so I suggest you back down!" Hitler spoke boldy. "We've got unfinished business Hitler, I'll be back" Andrew, the leader of the vampires replies and whistled, then he and his gang of daywalkers sped away, crushing the dry branches and leaves on the floor. "Can someone please explain what's going on to me!" Kyle demanded. "Leave us!" Hitler gestured for his pack members to leave, and they left, like they were never there. Kyle gave Hitler that look of mistrust. "Look, i know you think we're your enemies but trust me we're not!" Hitler began. "We're the good guys?" He added. "You except me to believe that? After all the people you've killed in school?!" Kyle retorted. "No, trust me, we didn't kill those people, the daywalking vampires did?" "You and I both know werewolves can't transform fully until the night of the full moon, and we also can't transform in the day!" Hitler explained. "So you're saying the vampires framed you?" "No, all I'm trying to say is, there's a war going on out there, between the vamps and we wolves, and you have to pick a side" Hitler replied, walking closer towards Kyle. "And what happens if I don't?" Kyle shot back. "Then, you go extinct!" At the mention of the word 'extinct', Hitler vanished. Kyle laughed at the fact that Hitler was threatening him, a hybrid, he wasn't even afraid of what he might do to him. Lucia was already at Crowntime restaurant, located in the southern part of Winterville. She was donned in a blue fancy gown and a black heels, accompanied with a blue head-band. Her pink lipgloss complimented her beauty on an absolute scale. She was frustrated, angry, and disappointed at the same time. Kyle didn't show up at 2:00pm and now it was five minutes to 3 o'clock and he still hadn't shown up. Did he forget or he probably isn't interested in her anymore? She had already reserved a table for them. She even noticed some of Winterville high school's students enjoying their scheduled lunch dates with their partners while she was alone. She wished she had his contact, she could've called to know the reason why he bailed. "This is totally hopeless" she stood up in annoyance and walked out of the restaurant. Just outside the restaurant, she sighted Kyle approaching from a distant. She didn't even wait for him to reach her before she walked briskly away. Kyle on noticing this, hurried after her. "Hey slow down" he called out to her but she ignored him and continued walking. "Come on, I can explain" he tried to reason with her but she had already boarded a taxi which drove away at max speed. "Ah f*ck!" He cursed inwardly. 'See what those bastards caused me' 'Why was I acting like a child, I should've ended them quickly!' Kyle blamed himself for the misfortune. "I'm really sorry about that man" he heard Hitler's voice behind him. "You again, what do you want?' "Chillax dude, I just want to help" Hitler said, with beaming smiles. "We could go clubbing tonight you know, and you could try inviting her" he added. "How do I even get to see her, I don't have her contact or adresss" Kyle shot back. "Well, I do!" "And try not screwing up this time" Hitler added, giving Kyle a 'trust-me' look. Kyle was still not convinced, one minute, Hitler was threatening him and now, he wanted to be friends with him.
