Moon Phase 7: Run as fast as you can EL! Save yourself, Run!

(EL POV)

"Checkmate." he announced, he told me the mistakes I made that resulted to my defeat. "Always have multiple plans reserved. If your first plan didn't go well, you can always have your second or third for backup. Never settle." I nodded and rearranged the set again. I'll be satisfied if I'll be able to win even once against him.

I listened to everything he told me and applied it to the game. Execute with precision, anticipate your opponent's attacks, sacrifices are needed, every move count, never settle. That’s how confuse me.

But…

"Checkmate." I proudly announced.

"Nicely done. You learn fast."

"I have the best mentor." I told him and made him laugh.

"As always, humble even in victory. Keep that attitude EL." he stood up from his seat.

"Wait, can we have another round?" He looked at the window as the moon was starting to rise from the east.

"Next time. I need to go home and be with my family."

I sighed. "Next time it is Uncle."

"If you're looking for an opponent, try your father."

"You told me that he's good at this game. I don't want to challenge the Grand Alpha just to loose."

"I know that you won't fail me."

"It's always a pleasure to be your mentor Young lord." I just smiled at him and didn't prolonged our conversation. He turned his back and walked towards the door. "Be sure to be ready tomorrow. I won't hold back this time." he's pertaining to our wolf martial arts sparring tomorrow.

"Sure then." I told him and he left the room.

I've always treated him just like my own father. He has taught me a lot, everything he knows. He is aware of the responsibilities I need to fill in the future. For almost fourteen years, he has been my mentor.

"Why does my father have to be the Grand alpha instead of you?" I asked him once in the past. "Making a decision is not an easy task, that's why we leave it to the elders." He simply answered me. Spending a lot of time with my uncle made me think that he could make a perfect Grand Alpha, but the elders must have seen something from my father that edged him to the title.

I stood up and reached the book about the mad werewolves and made my personal research. The locations of the incidents when it happened, what triggered them, and the victims.

Our encounters with the vampires will continue to grow as they take advantage of our current situation. I closed the book shortly after when I smell danger from a distance.

I went outside through the window and climbed up the roof. I stared at the moon; It was a little bit bigger than usual. A werewolf is about to loose control of himself for sure.

I listened to the howl of my kind. My father surely has heard it too. I could see my father with his most trusted associates through the window, they were having their daily council. Our current situation made them gather more frequently than before. He looked at my direction after I reached to his mind.

"You hear that father?"

I leaped on the roof and landed on the terrace where they were having their meeting.

"Listen to their damnation. What do you think?" I listened to their conversation while I hear the agony from afar.

My father ordered his guards to approach its location, I know that my father is confident that they will handle it successfully.

"We need them Lord Tyros. Let my men abduct them and force them to make a cure for our fellow wolfkind.”

"We must take our actions now. This phenomenon has already taken many of our population. We can't risk having you infected and loose control of yourself.” My father grinned. He is a stubborn man.

"Rankin told me that we might face extinction if we don't start doing something about it. Even your brother can't deal with your fighting prowess."

I sighed after hearing that. I have trained with my uncle all my life and my ability are still far from his, what more compared to my father?

My eyes widened after hearing a familiar howl. I turn my back to them and gazed the vast horizontal forest. The men that my father sent weren't successful with their mission, it was the meaning of the howl.

This made my father quickly got up to his feet and headed to their direction, his best guards followed him. This isn't about the phenomenon; this was clearly an attack by vampires.

I about to leap from the terrace when, several men appeared beside me to secure my safety. I smirked at them. I might still be young, but I can handle myself. It's an opportunity to show my father what I've learned from my uncle.

In an instant, I blitzed myself away from them.

I tried to chase after my father but made a sudden halt when I noticed that another danger was taking place from a different location. It was coming from Uncle Rankin's place.

I headed to my Uncle’s house a few miles westward from us. The smell of danger went stronger getting closer to the location. This isn't good. I arrived and stood on a branch.

Uncle Rankin's house was just beneath me, I observed the place.

A group of blood scums probably twenty were scattered around the area. Uncle Rankin's men have already shape-shifted themselves into werewolves and were ready to fight back.

The first attack was a diversion, my Uncle was really their main target. Uncle Rankin fought beside my father when they killed Alucard. They want to avenge the death of their Vampire Lord. This is revenge, they have come for blood. The war between our species is already here. Tss.

The vampires outnumbered my uncle's men, two to one. I understand vampires' ability. We are superior to them when it comes to strength and their speed is not far from ours, but when it comes to agility, and skill they surpass us.

They started to attack forcing the wolves to be surrounded. Tss.

I heard Uncle Rankin's growl as he charged himself against one of the intruder. His claws sank on its belly. I tried reaching him using telepathy but he's too focused fending off the vampires. I can't let them fight alone while I do nothing.

I leaped beside him and offered my help. The look of anger in his eyes was evident when he saw me.

"What are you doing here kid?! This is not your fight!" He growled in anger.

"I want to help."

"You're not yet ready! You're the next heir to your father! You're putting yourself in danger!" He ordered his men to get me out of the scene resulting to separate the group into two. We were forced to retreat together with Seven, Steve and Helaine, my uncle's wife. I felt so stupid.

The Vampires anticipated this and prevented us to escape. I was forced to fight back seeing our escorts fell victims to them one by one. A scream from Helaine made me stop all of a sudden. I stared behind me... The twins have been bitten and were killed by the blood scums. Their mother met the same fate.

I was about to get stabbed too, but Uncle Rankin's claws protected me. He chose to protect me over his own family? Why?

I felt so ashamed of myself. I couldn't look in his eyes.

He went full rampage attacking the vampires one by one. One of the vampires got his head decapitated off his shoulder from my uncle's unrelenting attacks. Their was no time to grieve for what happened, they were sent here to kill us.

"Run as fast as you can EL! Save yourself, Run!" I felt all the emotions in his screams, the anger, worry and grief covered his every word.

I was about to run from the scene when I saw someone aiming to shoot him. I don't want to loose my mentor, i rushed towards the shooter and kicked his rifle.

"Why are you doing this?!" I screamed at him. An old looking vampire revealed himself to me, his face fully bearded.

"I'm sorry young lad, but your species need to perish, or the humanity will do!"

"Damn! Werewolves doesn't hurt the humans! You're the ones who are killing them! You are blaming us for your actions!"

"You don't know what you are talking about kid."

“Shut the fuck up! You're the one who knows nothing. I might be young, but I completely understand how this world works. Humans and vampires discriminate us! You forced us to live in the shadows, away from civilization!"

"You're still young but you already lost it kid. Your kind has killed my family."

"The half breeds have infected our kind with a virus. Our species is struggling with this current phenomenon. Instead of fighting, we need your help. We don't deserve this slaughter; those werewolf pups didn't deserve to die! Don't you have conscience?! Enough of this!" I stop… because a spear hurled at my direction.

I was surprised when the old vampire saved me by knocking me off the way.
