Blood Lines: Existence

Chapter IV
“Walking back into the world”

“Your sure you want to go to school” when they arrive in the home schools yard.
“Yea, if I expected to pass. And if I continued to stay at home I’ll become lonely bum. Any ways I’ll see you after school. Bye.” Said John in a reassuring way.
“Bye.” Said Mom
He started for the school’s building that was the last time he saw any of his family again. The bell rang it’s time for class.



Chapter VI
“The truth comes to light”


Later that morning when John was traveling to his third class for study hall. He noticed more of the new self has changed, more animal like. His reflex, strength, senses have increased to inhuman peaks that his normal self wouldn’t allow.
“This could work if I suppress my true self and let the virus take hold a little more strongly.” He said quietly.
He finally gotten to his third period class room, and it looks the same as ever did. He seated himself by the book shelf near the door. Then Eric came into the class room. Their eyes met they both shared a similar blood now, but he did looked more human than he did. Eric looked more muscular and more refined than he ever had.
“Hey.” Came from Eric.
“Hey.” Came a similar greeting from John.
He then seated himself next to John on the left. Couple other students came in the small classroom.
“So you’re a… said Eric in under tone so the students won’t raise suspicion.
“Yea, a white.” replied John.
“Huh, But ah…why is your hair-.” Puzzled Eric.
Then Ashley came and she too has deeply changed. Her hair turn from dark brown to a light brown and her eyes turn from brown to Emerald green.
“Hi.” Said Ashly in a brave voice from what happen.
“Hey” replied Eric and John.
Ashly then seated at a table across from John.
“So you two are lycans too?” asked Ashly carefully and quietly.
“Yea, Black timber.” Answered Eric.
“Gray.” Added John too.
“Well Eric you haven’t changed drastically like us.” Stated Ashly.
“Eh, that’s what it looks like but living is another. How I interacted with everyday things is both tough and easy at the same time. I mean my appetite has change, I used enjoy a lots of foods but now…” Trail off Eric as it was too hard to say. Bethany came into the class; she looked the same as ever but something “odd.” She went silently to her seat near them.
“I know what you mean.” Said John towards Eric.
The teacher finally arrived, her name was Mrs. Dales. She was a nice and kind teacher, but yet sometimes too snippy.
“Hello, it’s great that you’re back and not harmed.” Said Mrs. Dales.
“If harm you mean cuts and punctures then no. But if the other kind and mental ordeal, than yes.” Said Eric and turn in her direction as Ashly and John did.
“Then what happen?” shocked to see a large difference in appearance, and all the students turn to see what happen.
Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT!0John curse through his head serial times. He did not want to talk about it, not this soon. But knew if he would never hear the end of it from everyone else. Eric turn in his direction and gave a look as “My fault.” Ashly turn in his direction too, totally unsure of what to say.
“You two…” John said in a under tone for only they as lycan’s can hear. “…Don’t need to say anything if you don’t want. But I’m not going to go into too much detail of what really happen, OK.” Said John.
“OK, I’ll join when it’s relates to me.” Said Eric
“Huh.” Added Ashly.
“So…” To the teacher. “…you want to know what happen to us, eh? OK. To put it simple, we are not what we use too. We’re barely feel human any more for a start.” Said John.
“What?! We barely feel human any more, that’s retarted.” said student in a mocking tone...
“Watch your language young man!” Scolded the teacher to the other student.
“So you think I'm lying?” Asked John.
“Yea.” Said the student.
“Is that so?” Said John in dangerous tone.
“How about a little demonstration.” He said and started to undo his left arm’s cuff. He then started to roll up his entire sleeve to the top of his shoulder. Then what seem to be a moment his muscles started to ripple and moving. Skin expanding and contracting nonstop. Then his hand shot out to its full length and without warning came out sharp talons at every tip of his fingers. His arm started to sprout fur and increasing by the minuet. Then it stopped, the arm change so much that was unrecognizable to anyone who came in. The student fell silent and eyes bulge at the sight of the arm.
“W-what are you?” said another student.
“Gray werewolf.” Said John.
“And I’m black timber werewolf.” Eric said on cue.
“werefox, the other students are not lycanthropes.” Added Ashly.
“Lycanthrope?” asked the teacher. Then John’s arm started to change back to normal in moments, and then finished.
“A lycanthrope, is a human shape shifter that turns into a specific animal.” Answered Eric.
All the students and Mrs. Dale where shocked to actually believe that they were lycanthrope. The teacher made the attempt to ask another question for the fear of being attacked.
“You said not everyone is a lycanthrope, so what has they become of them?”
“We’re going to say, so if you want to know, ask them.” Said John.
“Why terrorist want to do this in the first place and how?” asked a different student.
“Terrorist?” said Ashly shocked of the idea.
“I don’t think it was them who did this.” Said John and continued on by Eric. “I don’t see how terrorist can kidnap a large portion of people without a trace in short period of time.”
“It would have to be large amount of people to do this quickly and quietly to have done this, and besides we’re not entirely sure how this was done to us.” Said Ashly.
“Then who, who could have done this?” said a student.
“Could you think of no one else with such power and quietness?” asked John.
“Who?“ said Mrs. Dales but cut off by John.
“You don’t know? They have largest amount of resource’s and the leading military strength on the entire planet. What makes you think that our own government b-“He stopped sudden he heard yelling down the halls (only detectable by the three.) and orders being made. He then shot a look as “did you just heard that.” He made toward the door.
“Where are you going?” asked the teacher.
“Hold on, I just heard something.” Said John in a serious tone. He took a step out the room heard several heavy boots running his way. He then knew who they were. The Captors.


Chapter VII
“Collection”


He then grabbed the door and slammed it shut so hard that it crushed in the door. He then saw soldiers coming around a corner and passing by to cover more ground.
“SHIT!” They’re back! Yelled to the others.
“WHAT!? Here?” Ashly sounding astonished.
“That’s it! Payback!” Eric gearing up for it.
“I’m in on it too.” Added Ashly.
“WAIT A MINNIT! WHAT ARE YOU GOIN-“ The teacher stop short and saw them changing form and into something else. John felt his entire body change, felt his muscles moving to get into position. Bones were cracking and groaning. Hair was increasing all over his body, his body started to hurt all over but not as bad as they did to him. Then, it ended.

John’s senses keenly sharp after he changed, but sight went alien to him. He could hear and smell where anyone body was, without looking. He was more bigger and stronger than just in humanoid form. He had a silvery fur coat with blazing sapphire blue eyes. If he stood strait up like human he would reach seven foot four, he only gained another foot from the change. He noticed also that Eric an Ashly changed too but didn’t recognize them at first glance. They looked more animal than human but standing on two legs made them looks very intimidating to any who wasn’t seen a lycan before. The only thing that was different from each other (Human vs. Hybrid) was the hair color, Eric black fur an Ashly light brown fur but Ashly looked more fox than wolf so it easily to tell ether way by species.
“Ready to hunt?” Akwoleged growled from Eric.
“Blood will run red today.” John growled too.
“Hey! If you think a fox can’t keep up think again!” Barked Ashly.
Then John heard something from behind him, the armed men were trying to cut the open with the blow torch. He didn’t realized how hard he slammed the door that they need an Engineer to open it, thankfully they weren’t attacked from behind while changing forms. They were almost done cutting open door, and while they were doing that he position himself behind the blind spots of the door. John gave a low growl to them “Moment they’re done, attack on sight. Cover the schools wings and alert the others that they’re here.” He concentrated on the door, waiting for them to be done.
Just waiting.
Then the torch made a complete rectangle and the torch went out.
BAMM!
The wolf slammed with his left clenched fist into the door and sent the metal object flying through the air, carrying two of the men. Instantly the wolf pulled himself through the newly open door way. He threw himself at the first soldier, he was staggering from the shock of the blow. He only saw a brief second of what was coming at him. The wolf grappled himself on to the soldier who was not entirely aware of him. The impact of the animal sent them flying to the ground, but the moment the wolf grabbed him, is when had the soldier’s throated was ripped it out when they landed. He then heard movement behind the broken door and whipped his head the direction to see the source. One soldier, half caught between wall and metal door. The soldier saw what happen to his friend and grabbed his pistol from its holster and began firing at the monster.
“GO TO HELL!” screamed the soldier.
The bullets hit the wolf. But it didn’t hurt as badly as thought it would. The wolf recoiled just because thought of being hit, and remembered that it was now a very strong advantage against the enemy. Then the wolf saw a flash of black fur flew past him and for the soldier, Eric. The wolf biting around the man’s neck and ripping away the left arm holding the gun with his claws. The bullets then started to fall out of the wounds and started to heal. The last soldier was dead do to the impact of the door and wall. The werefox came out of the room to see there was any left, but found none. The grey wolf looked to one other and thought how out of place they looked with clothes on, when they were in hybrid. He looked at his own clothes but saw it ripped with bullet holes all over. The wolf rips off his shirt and started for the pants.
“What are you doing?” Came a normal reply from Ashly.
“The clothes are just slowing us down and beside, are private parts are still being covered by the fur so we don’t have to worry being seen naked. Until we change back of course.” Answered John.
“Suck to be you.” Pointed Eric looking at Ashly.
“You're not going to get a free peep show. I don’t care how much fur I have on, it won’t save me against your perverted eyes.” She snapped.
“And ta’think I’d wouldn’t bring a little bit more money today.” Eric sounding bum, Ashly was about to say something and decided not to. John decided against the idea of taking off the pants but rip the pants legs off instead. When he was done he heard something coming through the door, climbing through. He then saw a large copper dragon crawling through the opening.
“I’m helping too, I think I can be of great use in combat and plus I can find the rest of the dragons too.” Said a familiar voice.
“Bethany?” asked Ashly
“Yea. You guys weren’t the only ones went through change.” Said Bethany.
“Then how did you made yourself human?” asked Eric.
“Alternate form.” Said a matter a factly, and add before he asked “Magic.”
“Got yea.”
“The soldiers are on their way even as we speak.” Replied John.
“All right I’ll see if I can find more the dragons.” Said Bethany and started for the main hall.
“I’ll head for the second floor high school wing and keep them from coming through.” Said Eric and he too left with Bethany.
“I can try to make it, to the middle school wing also.” Said Ashly and then she ran up the stairs and around the corner.

All right I need to check if they made it to the gym area, and find how much land they covered.
He ran back into the room and spooking students as he went by. He had gotten to the door that leads into the back of the library that proceeds into the main hallway and close to the gym’s door. He entered the library; it was quite and dark but knew they must have closed it because it was too much ground to cover. He crept silently through the library expecting any sound or movement. He finally gotten to the door and open just ajar, the lights were on. This was a problem. Not only being silver tone and large but in broad daylight, not going to be easy for sneaking. The wolf left the library behind and advances to the gym when heard a noise in the hall’s gym. He went to the door and pushes it open with his razor sharp claws which accidently scratched into the metal. If he wanted to be discrete about where he would of howled and charge through.
He only half way crepped down the stairs when he heard someone’s voice
“…Please I’ll do anything just don’t kill me!” pleaded a female voice from the gym’s rooms. The wolf instantly did a brisk run to the source, in the women’s locker room. He pushed open the door with his nose and quietly creped in, and came to a corner that connects into the main room. John peered around the corner and saw a girl that looked like she was in the eleventh grade. The girl looked like she just showered because she was still wet and had a towel around her. She had long burnet hair with light tan skin. Her eyes were brown but full of fear of getting hurt. She looked about five foot ten, slender built but she backed herself up against a wall because of the soldier. The soldier had his back to John.
Good.
“…Anything I want eh? OK. Grime the towel!” Ordered the soldier. The girl’s eyes widen with fear of what was going to happen.
And that’s my cue, thought the wolf.
The soldier walk ahead to the girl and grabbed the towel ripped it off the girl. The girl started to scream but the guy grabbed her mouth with his gloved hand.
She looked into the man’s eyes but only saw greed and lust. Then at that moment she heard a low and long growl. The man’s eyes widen and was about to turn around but the thing that did it came from behind the man bit down hard on the man’s neck. She saw a very large Gray dog came up from the left side of her, from behind the man. It then bit down on the man and grabbed him with his claws. The wolf threw him towards the lockers and went limp. The she was so scared of the it she stared to scream but the wolf animal grabbed her mouth with lightning speed, the moment he stopped her she blacked out. The girl’s body went limp and started to fall.

“Shit! Not good!” Said John disgusted with himself of not being careful towards humans. The wolf picked up the girl and carried the naked body over to the bench lay her their and resting the towel over her.

“Well, I’m just going to have to find her clothes before I leave this area.” Muttered John. He went looking for a locker that was open but did not find one.
Just great! Just frickin great! he fumed.
“Now I can’t leave her naked while unconscious.” He went over to the dead body an took off its coat and pants. He turn around and thought he saw something, just the girl unmoved. He snorted,

Just my imagination he thought. He gotten the coat off and half way taken off the pants when he heard something again, only this time it sounded like sliding. He instantly turn around and to see the girl laying on the ground.
OK. She’s awake, and playing dead? Please. He thought
He yanked off the pants and gathered the clothes up and head to the girl that was supposed to be “fainted.” He lifted the girl up and tried to put on the coat on first, she was completely dead weight. “OK this is getting old.” Muttered the agitated wolf. He decided to change back to human form, to try a new idea for “cooperation.” He took a couple steps back to space for changing. It was very much the same as human to wolf but wolf to human this time. When he was done he went over to the girl and said softly.
“You can stop pretending to be dead, because I’m not leaving until you’re both clothed and safe.”
She then laid there for a couple seconds, then open her eyes, an blinked a couple times. She then starting to sit up and turn in his with a fearful look on her face.
“Where did it go?” she asked.
“What go?” asked John.
“The giant dog. It was a big as a man an killed-“ she was cut off by John.
“The soldier. Yea, that dog was a werewolf and not to mention the soldier would of done more harm than me.” Answered John.
“Wha- wait a minute, are you telling me that you’re the wolf and you weren’t going to hurt me?” said the confused and in disbelief girl.
“Yea. I mean why would I take a life that hasn’t threaten mine nor anyone’s else’s.” Replied John.
“Uh… huh!” Not believing sound.
She stared at him with disbelief, only looking into his eyes to find that he was not lying. She saw something else that was not right, something that was not human.
She was instantly frighten of him and fearful of what’s going to happen. “P-Please don’t hurt me!” pleaded the girl.
“I told you I’m not going to, but I need you clothed than just siting here naked. OK.” John said then handed the clothes to her and he then turned around. Although at this point he pretty much got a good look and turning around was pointless, but respected her privacy. She was unsure about him that he’d lie but decided to take the clothes either way. She quickly put them on, first the coat then the pants.
“They’re a little loose but thanks.” Said the girl.
“No problem, And we need to move fast now. They’re on their way here.” Said John Urgently.
“Huh? Who?” asked the girl.
“The intruders or more an importunately the criminal group, The United States Government. We’re a dirty secret of theirs.” Replied John and then forced himself hard to change quickly. It only lasted under a twenty seconds.
“Were trapped!” she said fearful.
“I know which way but you must trust me, OK?” The werewolf said in a serious tone but still staring towards the door.

She hesitated for a moment looking at his large form.
“Ok.” She finally answered. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath ready for the unknown.

He turned around to face her. He then put his left arm around her back, and wrapped his right over her legs lifted her up to carried her.
“Hold on!” Roared the werewolf. He ran towards the locker room door with her in his arms. His only thought was now I have another life in my hands, failure is not an option. Avoid any danger at all cost, until I know she safe. He then rounded the corner to the door, instantly increased all the strength he mustered to his back (left shoulder) to break down the door.

SMASHED!

He busted the door down and kept on running around the corner and up the hall. When he saw the soldiers burst through the doors at the top of the stairs, he then instantly let go of the girl’s legs and grabbed the wall an swung himself towards the boy’s locker room. When he was a foot away from the door he grabbed her legs again while a half turn to exposed his left shoulder towards the door.

BAAM!

The swung wide open and smashed it into the wall. The wolf ran around the corner and increased speed when in the main room. He ran straight ahead through the room until came around corner to the left was a door. He leaned back for a second then kick down the door. The soldiers came into the room saw the werewolf and started to fired. The wolf turn his back to them and ran into the broken door way. Bullets hit the wolf’s hide but she remained unharmed. He only took about two steps in when he encounter two doors, one straight ahead and one to the right. He heard them coming and slammed the door to the right to get outside. He got outside and turned to the sharp left and ran to the corner of the building. He then let go of her and took the arms and put them around his neck, while mid-flight.
“Hold on!” Roared the werewolf.
She held on tighter so she won’t let go. He crouched down low, then jumped about fifteen feet towards the building an started to climb up it. He made it to the top because he heard them came through and reported lost sight of target. Then the soldiers headed back into the building and disappeared. They relax for a bit because of the split minuet timing. He crouched down to let go of her and she sat down to take a breather. He took a couple steps and turned around and sat looking towards the girl.
“Thank you for saving my life again.” Said the girl.
“You’re welcome, but I didn’t catch your name?” Said John.
“My name?” she said hesitantly.
“You don’t need to if I make you uncomfortable.” Said John Apologetically.
“Oh No! No, its just I never met a werewolf at all really. Or one that dose’nt eat people during a rampage. But anyways I’m Ann.” She said.
“Thanks, uh I think? John.” Said the wolf.
“Mm” she nodded, though she seemed to be more relieved that there was human side left in him.
“I need to get to the main entrance, so we can drive them back.” He said, he started to get up and turn towards the main part of the building.
“Wait a minute! You’re going back in. To fight them?” said Ann surprised to hear.
“Yes, I came to the gym to see if it’s under their control. And, which it is. So now I’m going to try at least to repell them if I can.” Answered John.
“Your serious?” said Ann shocked of what she hearing.
“If only you knew what they did, you wouldn’t want them to do that to anyone ever again.” He answered but continued. “Now that your safe I’m going back in.”
“WAIT!”
“WHAT!” he snapped and turn towards her again.
“I want to help.” She asked.
“No, you’re just human. You’ll get killed if you interfere with this war.” He answered calmly.
“But I could run to the police.” She too answered back.
He thought about it for a second an replied calmly. “Alight, I let you down this side of the building and run for the station. I don’t think they’re going to ask too many question if school is in fact in danger, not that kind of gamble of questioning.” He said.
“OK.” She answered.
“All right get on my back I’ll bring you down to the ground.” The wolf said. He then crouched down lowered to let her on his back. She then got on and her arms and legs wrapped around him so she won’t fall. He then got up again and leaped off the building an towards the ground. It was a soft landing for them and he crouched to the ground again to let her off.
“Now go! Quickly get to the police station and tell them that the school is need of help!” He said in hurry. She nodded and ran towards the direction of the police department. Then disappeared, he then turn towards the building ready for non-stop fighting.


The wolf entered through a side door near his teacher’s class room. He creped by the room an saw a pair of stairs going up to his left. To his right was a hallway leading into the main corridor.

Main corridor.

He thought. He then made his way down the hall and ready to enter when he heard a faint sound of multiple tapping behind him. He turn lighting speed around an saw a familiar face he’d seen earlier, Eric. He looked very ragged and looked extremely stressed out.
“Where the HELL were you!?” he demanded.
“Gym.” He answered bluntly.
“What ever. We’re having a hard time just getting to everyone. They pin us down with blockades and suppressive fire.” He reported.
“At this point I’d really don’t care if I live or die.” Said the white wolf. “BECAUSE
THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH THAT I’M GOING TO YEILD TO THEM!” Very aggressive growl.
“Good. Because I wasn’t going to either.” Said the black wolf.
John gave a curt nod to him and turn towards the hall. He then took a deep breath and charge forward with the black wolf on his side. He ran forward around the corner and saw two soldiers standing there unaware of they’re presence. John took the right one and Eric took the other one. The soldier (the one John supposed to take) turned around and saw what was coming at him but it was too late. He then pin him up against a door way and chomp down on the man’s neck and ripped it out. Eric charged up and ripped through the man’s helmet an face, by swinging upward. Both bodies went limp. Then down the hall came more soldiers, six more than the last. They came out of the cafeteria to see what was the commotion was. Three decided to crouch and the other three stood behind.
The wolves charged forward not noticing the bullets hitting them and flying by. “I’ll take the left and you take the right!” Growled Eric.
“Fine!” Barked John.
The gray wolf crouched down low an jumped up into the air. He then grabbed the man’s head and did a roll through the air an threw him at the next guy ahead. The wolf jerked his head at the second guy standing, he saw him aiming his gun in his direction. The wolf lunge at him, back handing the guy with a gun. The guy screamed of what happen, The werewolf slashed at the man’s arm so hard that the arm ripped off from the attack. The man dropped to his knees and grabbing what’s left of his arm. John instantly whipped his knee into the man’s face, both cracking neck and skull. He sent the dead man’s body falling backwards to the ground. He saw the soldier that he knocked over getting up. John stood up, ran over and broke his neck by a diving kick to the head. When Eric attacked, he too crouched down low an jumped into the air but spiraled like a vortex with his claws out stretched. It cut the men’s necks across and fell to each other’s sides. Just when he was about to touch the ground, he then pushed off the ground with his hands and flipped through the air at the last man standing. He slammed the guy with his feet and grappled himself on to the man. When they landed he went for the throat and ripped it out. They looked at each other and knew more must be on their way. Then they heard more boots back down the hallway, behind them. Ten soldiers gathered in the hallway and was ready to fire.
Then came a blood curtling roar came down the hallway. They saw the soldiers engulfs in flames along with some of the hallway. Couple of the soldiers tried to getting out of the flames but was attacked by a very large lizard with wings, the dragons. They bit down and broke their necks. They continued down the hall away from them, towards the direction of the soldiers. Then the wolves heard more from the stair case.
“Leave them to me! Find the leader!” roared the black werewolf. And leaped up the stairs four at a time and disappeared.
John ran for the doors at the main entrance, what he found was three supply convoys park and two figures in the plaza. Both were female, but one was unrecognizable and was wearing a military outfit. The other was being held by the wrists and was also wearing a soldier’s outfit.

Ann.
