โHelp me out?โ Samson echoed, puzzled by what she meant. Haley brought her hands to her hips, making herself stand a little taller. โThough I canโt directly do anything so Iโll give you a piece of advice.โ She gave Samson a mischievous smile. Samson waited for a moment before relaxing a little, deciding that anything would be better than what he was doing now. โIโm listening.โ He replied. โI bet youโve been treating Selena as some sort of goal, getting into a relationship or hooking up with her is just a goal for you isnโt it?โ Haley started, already seeing that she was right by the look on Samsonโs face. โThat works with some girls but most of us, we prefer to be treated as an equal, not just a goal to reach then move on from.โ Haley patted him on the back aggressively. โTreated as equalsโฆ huh?โ Samson turned to look at the dressing room, pondering the thought of treating her like he would treat himself. Haley waited for a few moments, letting it sink in before speaking. โSo, h
Samson scoffed before turning around and leaving without a word. As he walked out of the store, he made a mental note of the conversation that he and Haley had. Standing with her arms crossed, Selena watched as the girls came out, surrounding Samson and poking fun at him as they approached her. She was unable to put a finger on it but the sight made her uncomfortable, she worried about what Samson might do to them should they say the wrong thing. โI wanna hit up one more place before we leave,โ Sarah said, โIs that alright with you Selena?โ Selena spun her head towards her. โYea, of course.โ She said politely. Slowly the group made their way towards a fashion store that always kept in touch with the latest styles and trends. As they walked Selena observed Samson and Haley as Haley teased Samson who retorted back quickly. Those two seem closer, don't you think Penny? Selena asked. Yes they certainly do, I wonder what happened while we were away? Penny responded, curious about how
โWhatโs that thing?!โ Shouted Charlie, desperately grabbing the hands of Annie and Sarah as the three slowly moved backwards. Samson turned to Selena. โGet in the car with the others.โ He ordered. Selena clenched her teeth and brought her eyebrows together in an aggressive V, letting her anger shine fiercely in her eyes. โIโm not leaving, this is MY pack and these are MY fights!โ She shouted back, getting in Samsonโs face. โItโฆ doesnโt matterโฆ. Whoโฆ stays behindโฆ huuh,โ Gibrail yawned, โBecause Iโmโฆ going to killโฆ allโฆ of youโฆโ โHYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!โ Sarahโs shrill shriek filled the air as she dropped to the ground. The shadows behind them began to shift and morph. Whispers filled the air, growing louder as the shadows started taking a more concrete form. A foot came into the light, followed by another until an endless army formed out of nothing, climbing its way to the top of the parking garage. They looked to be wearing the same outfits as the small group from earlier, chuckl
There was a dull ache in her shoulder as Selena slowly pushed the small bits of metal that had broken off the car off her body. As she grabbed the headlights of the broken car to pull herself forwards, her right shoulder felt like someone had stuck a rod into it, making it numb and causing her neck to feel like someone had slapped it with their full might.From the distance she heard a shout and saw Samson raising his arm, shaking the Solar Bonds. โKEY!!!โ He shouted again.As Selena wobbled from right to left she thought over the choice before standing as tall as she could through the stiffness. โNO!!โ She shouted back at him, seeing him lower his arm slowly and spit on the ground before turning his back to her as he resumed fighting through the horde rushing endlessly at him.โLooks like her highness can handle a little beat down.โ Gibrail mocked her with his rumbly voice.Selena smiled. โA beating is easy compared to what youโre about to go through.โ She taunted.As quick as it had
Driving his heel into the first thug, Samson sent him staggering backwards, pinballing between the others, forcing them off balance and creating some space. โSay it!โ He shouted. Haley gulped an invisible, thick lump in her throat. โItโs not too great but itโs something,โ She started, โMy carโs not too far from here, if you can get us there, we can leave and then you can go and help Selena.โ She stared at his back as he stood still. Samson thought over the plan as the thugs slowly picked themselves up. He realized that this was the only option they had left. He shook his head violently, getting rid of all doubt. โFine!โ He turned to her. With a nod, Haley started moving to her right, towards the swarm of thugs. โThis way!โ She navigated. One step at a time, Samson moved along with them, dancing around the group of frightened girls to ward off the growling thugs. After a few more steps they made it to a black sedan and the girls quickly hopped inside while Samson continued to chip
Samson looked around at the flaming bodies and singed cars. The memories of all the destroyed towns and villages popped into his head. All the werewolves he had slaughtered lying lifelessly on the ground in the dead of the night. All the times Lola would arrive and praise him for a job well done. The memories felt endless. โLooks familiar doesnโt it?โ Samson said to himself. Too familiar, Skull commented. With a strong leap, Samson made his way back to where Selena was only to find the dent in the car that was the result of Gibrail hitting her and no one else. The hairs on his arm raised again as he realized that something bad had happened. โSELENA!!โ Samson shouted as he started running through the parking garage, checking behind every car. The further he ran the more the faint scent of blood filled the air. Samsonโs heart started beating harder, climbing to his throat, as he ran quicker in the direction of the smell. It rapidly became stronger until he finally saw small droplets
โWho?โ Samson asked. The wolf lowered its eyebrows. โHow dare you not hear of me!โ The wolf howled before charging forwards once again. Samson clenched his teeth and lowered his chin. He knew that if he was going to fight Lucifer it would be a war of attrition. He watched as the wolf snapped at him, twisting and moving in strange ways to get around his guard. He continued dodging, trying to look for an opening but the wolf didnโt have any. Every attack, every twist was well guarded and now having seen the danger in its mouth, Samson avoided it as best as he could. โIs this the best the werewolves can offer!โ Lucifer howled through the bites, โIs the strongest werewolf alive just a coward who only knows how to dodge?โ โLYCAN!!โ Lucifer howled as it snapped near Samsonโs neck. Like a whip, Samson jammed his right fist into the wolfโs face, sending it back with a flinch. Finally able to create the opening, he sprinted to the wolf and wove his fingers together in a tight club and sl
Samson let out an exhausted sigh. โI donโt know what the problem between you and that other guy is,โ Samson said, โBut keep me out of it.โ โStay down there human!โ Lucifer howled, โThis goes against our contract!โ Gibrail took over, visibly clenching his wolfish jaw. โListen Lucifer, we both want to keep this guy alive, lets-โ โI REFUSE!!โ Lucifer took over, foaming at the mouth. โLISTEN TO ME!!โ Gibrail slammed his head into the ground. โIโd rather die than work with someone who spends his day doting on his brother!โ Lucifer pulled his head up and slammed it into a nearby SUV. The two continued to argue, shouting at each other while throwing themselves against the ground and nearby vehicles. It was slow but Samson saw it, amongst their fighting, the fur on the wolf was shrinking while the wolf itself was growing in size. Their voices began to combine, turning into nothing but loud roars. The transformation continued ever so slowly as the wolf started morphing into a humanoid.
After a few minutes Selena was ready. She had put on a blue, long sleeve top, patterned with ridges and two buttons to expose more or less of her chest over a pair of light blue jeans. She looked at herself in the mirror, unsure of what the day was to hold for her. Itโll be alright dear, youโre not alone this time. Pennyโs voice echoed in her head. A small smile crept onto Selenaโs face at the thought of her words, relaxing her a little. I know, She replied before grabbing a small black satchel, pulling it over her head and leaving her room. Making sure to take her time, Selena slowly drifted down the stairs, hoping that Samson would be there, waiting for her. Once she reached the bottom floor, her heart sank as she saw no one but her mother in the large kitchen, reading from a magazine. Her heart started beating nervously, and her hands begged for something to fidget with. She took a shallow breath to calm herself and with her shaky legs, Selena slowly started moving towards her,
A slow tear-like headache woke Selena up. With a tight squint she let her eyes drift open, noticing she was still near the floor yet resting on something comfortable. Her eyes drifted down to notice a pair of legs below her head. A bloodchilling thought ran through her head, forcing her heart to roar to life, pounding rapidly and heavily as she turned her head slightly. The butterflies in her stomach had now multiplied and swarmed, hitting every possible wall and side. โLooks like youโre awake.โ Samsonโs voice came from above her head. With a jerk she sat up, bumping Samsonโs head in the process. โGHA!โ He reacted late, leaning backwards before rubbing his forehead as Selena sat up, facing away from him. โWhat was that for?!?!โ He shouted, still rubbing his forehead. Selena refused to look at him. Her face felt like it was on fire, turning a shade of red she didnโt know it could as an awkward smile appeared on her face. โh-how longโฆ was I sleeping for?โ Her voice trailed into a wh
Selena smiled, overjoyed at the thought of becoming stronger. โBut before that, what kind of ointment was in the med kit?โ Samson asked, touching his ribs. โAh that, it was something my father found, I donโt really know the name of it but I know it helps people heal quickly.โ Selena responded cheerfully. Samson nodded, lowering his head. Selena watched as a serious expression grew on his face. A chill ran through her as she realized what he was doing. Heโs not playing around like last time. She thought to herself. โThe best way to learn is through experience, so Iโm going to come at you for real.โ He said, getting lower to the ground before sprinting towards her. With a small exhale, Selena assumed a boxing stance, keeping her hands open instead of in a tight fist. She watched him get closer, noticing he wasnโt doing anything out of the blue. Suddenly he pulled his right fist back. Adjusting to it, Selena shifted her weight to her left leg, bringing her arms out away from her b
When Samson got up it was late morning, but despite that he couldnโt hear any noise coming from upstairs. Slowly he moved out of his bed, the aching in his chest now spread over to his back and legs as he stood. He took a deep breath, attempting to confirm his injury only to find no pain being present. He rubbed the bandages to make sure he wasnโt dreaming before noticing a slight heaviness around his eyes. He moved his hands up and touched it, discovering remnants of tears that had been smudged away. โUnnecessary memoriesโฆโ He whispered before making his way upstairs to an empty living room. There was no sign of neither of Selenaโs parents nor her brothers. Keeping his eyes floating around the room, Samson drifted around the area, spotting a phone on the kitchen countertop. โHello?โ He said loudly, letting the word echo a little. After noting the absence of footsteps, movement and any other noise, Samson picked up the phone and dialed the only number he knew. โSamson!โ Rumbled L
Kill me instead, let them go!!!! The phrase echoed in Samsonโs head again. With a small groan he closed his eyes, regretting the fact that he had let go of the wolf in his head. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep immediately. Hey! Make sure you stay together! Samson shouted as he rounded up the kids from that night near the edge of the, now destroyed, pack's territory, making sure there was a clear path behind them. Oh good, youโve rounded them up, thisโll make it easier. Lola slowly appeared from the shadows behind him. Lola wait! Samson shouted. HEY! Israfel suddenly shouted, leaping out from behind the tree. You didnโt get rid of all of them?! Lola hissed at him. Samson walked up to Lola, his canines slowly growing. Are you questioning my work? He growled in her face. Watch your tone streetrat! Lola spat, Get him. Iโll make you a deal, Israphel started, my life for theirs, kill me instead, let them go! He shouted. Heโs got an attitude, take hi
โIs here fine?โ Haley asked as she pulled up in front of Selenaโs mansion. โMmโฆ Yea.โ Selena said groggily as she stepped out of the car. Samson closed his eyes and rested his head against the seat, preparing for the waves of pain about to hit. With a sharp breath, he opened the door and grabbed the side of the car. A burning throb shot through his chest, freezing his lungs as he attempted to pull himself out of the car. โGH!โ He grunted as he slowly rose to his feet, still holding his side as the throb morphed into a powerful ache. With a quick step, Selena moved to his side, putting his arm over her shoulder, she slowly rose up, matching his pace. Once Samson was able to stand up, she looked at him with a slight V forming in her eyebrows and an upset look in her eyes. โYou know you can ask for help.โ She said with a slight pout. Having rested a bit in the car, his head was a bit clearer. He resumed the facade. โIโm not so weak that I need assistance yet.โ He growled, stepping a
With a deafening screech the headlights stopped, becoming dim before turning off completely. Once off, the vehicle responsible for them became visible, it was a black sedan. Three of its doors flung open as Charlie, Annie, Sarah and Haley sprinted out, launching themselves at Selena. โYouโre alive!!โ Charlie cried as she wrapped her arms around her neck. โWe thought it was all over!โ Sarah wiped her tears on Selenaโs shoulder. The three cried as they clung onto Selena, hugging her tight and showing no signs of letting go. Samson watched the scene unfold, closing his eyes with a small grin. He moved stiffly to the car and leaned against the hood, keeping his hand on his ribs. Itโs not so bad being on this side of itโฆ Samson thought. Silence filled his head as he continued to stare. Manโฆ Itโs times like these that I miss you, you old dogโฆ Samson thought, wondering what Skull would say to him. He watched as the girls cried harder from afar, silently laughing to himself as Selena sl
When Selena had woken up again she no longer felt the weight on her shoulder. Groggily, she turned her head towards Samson and just made out his face. With a deep breath, she rubbed her eyes and stretched her back, hearing a satisfying pop as she straightened out. โHow long have you been awake for?โ She asked him. Samson stared blankly at the car in front of them, lost in his own thoughts. โHey,โ Selena pushed his shoulder gently, getting his attention, โHow long have you been awake for?โ Samson rested his head against the door of the van and looked upwards at the night sky, still full of stars. โA few minutes.โ he responded. The butterflies in Selenaโs stomach started swarming again as she stared at him. With a hard gulpe she started, โYouโฆ tied this around me didnโt you?โ She asked, touching the makeshift wrapping. Wondering if he should respond like Lycan or himself, Samson looked down at her, staring into her eyes. โYou were bleeding a lot,โ Samson started, too exhausted to
It was late at night when Selena regained her consciousness. Her eyes slowly lifted open. Her head rested against the cold door of the van she had slumped against. She took short shallow breaths remembering what had happened. The giant black wolf had attacked her, heckling and shouting at her before biting into her shoulder and slashing her chest. She remembered how she had found her way behind the car while it had been hunting her, then everything had gone black. Exhausted and accustomed to the procedure, she slowly brought her right arm around and felt the bite marks around her shoulder. Nothing was there, rather something that wasnโt supposed to be there was present. She used her fingers to navigate the area, feeling and attempting to figure out the foreign object there before realizing it was a piece of cloth. Now that she gave it her attention she could feel it wrapping around her body, another similar piece was wrapped around her chest. Selena furrowed her eyebrows in a V, un
