"Man. What's up? I have been talking to you. Where is your mind?"
"What" Jason came to his senses, but he didn't hear a thing Max said
"What's wrong? You blanked out," Max inquired. It was not normal
"I just saw a beauty and could not keep my cool," Jason answered honesty remembering that beautiful face with fluttering long black hair
"Whoa. Where is she?" Max turned, trying to look in different directions," where is she" he asked after looking for a while. Jason was walking ahead, leaving Max behind
"She is gone," he answered, smiling
"You"
The two talked about going to school, talking in detail about what happened a week ago and if it could be something dangerous. They planned to go for a checkup at the hospital later after class. The wound was healed. Just a bit of it left—a wet scar.
Jason was listening to the lecturer in class, but he looked uncomfortable. He could hear sounds coming from different directions in school. He could listen to lectures in different rooms, others fighting. He thought he heard others making out, and even the office. The different voices were making him look crazy.
"Mackenzie, Mackenzie, can you answer the question on the board?' the teacher called to him, but he looked confused, sweat dripping from his forehead. The teacher came closer, and he could hear the heels hitting the floor, irritating him. He tried to compose himself but couldn't
"I am not feeling well. Miss Jane. I'll go to the nurse" he rose from his seat and ran past her getting out of the class. He ran through the corridor and went to the bathroom.
The moment he closed the door, Mike and the group were assaulting a new student who was on the ground. His eyes were wet.
"Whoa. Look who came to join the fun" It was late by the time Jason wanted to run back. Jersey and another guy walked to him and pulled him to the corner. He could hear their heartbeats. It was calm, but the guy on the ground had a strong and scared heartbeat. It was weird
'What's happening to me,' Jason asked himself when he could hear their heartbeat and feel the fear coming from the guy on the ground.
He felt like such different emotions were assaulting him. He tried to block some of those emotions, and it worked. It actually worked. It worked, just like that.
He looked at Jersey, approaching him and the rest of them. He felt so powerful and angry.
For how long was he going to allow them to bully him? It was time to put a stop to it.
He also walked forward and met Jersey face on when he took the step. For a moment, Jersey and the rest were surprised but laughed. Jersey turned to look at the rest of his team, throwing a mocking look.
Jason looked him in the eyes and pushed him out of his way. They almost dropped their jaws, looking at the flying figure.
Jersey was thrown to the wall by a mere push from Jason. He walked towards the door, not bothering with their astonished look.
"What are you waiting for? Get him," Mike shouted, seeing him walking out. Jason went to the door, pushed and locked it from inside, and turned to look at them, smiling sinisterly.
"Where were we?" he asked as looking at them. All the people looked at him like a clown. He walked to Mike.
"For so long have tried to contain me for your sakes, but you don't get it. It's high time I teach you a lesson," Jason said as he threw a hard punch at Mike, sending him steps back. He threw more punches at the other members one by one. Jersey was still groaning on the ground, looking at the scene. He stood using the wall, walking wobbly at Jason throwing a missing punch.
Jason turned and punched Jersey, throwing him at the same wall and falling on his face. He didn't have the strength to stand again and fainted. Mike was holding his nose, looking shocked at Jason. He never thought the person they were bullying was a pro.
"How does it feel?" Jason walked to the groaning figures on the floor, asking. He sends a kick to Mike, throwing him to the ground this time.
"You know what's best for all of us. I was never here, and you never saw me today. Or else, it will not be physical injury next time," He threatened, opened the locked door, and walked out. He stood there and called out to the guy on the floor.
"Do you still want to stay here?"
"No… not at all," he stammered, standing from the floor. He walked trembling towards Jason and looked at him in admiration.
"My name is Leo. Nice to meet you too. Thanks for saving me. That was cool. Where did you learn to fight" Leo started and could not give Jason a chance to respond to any of his statements
"Hmm," Jason cleared his throat, trying to stop the guy from eating his tongue away.
"Oooh, sorry. I can't stop talking. You are just so awesome," Leo answered nervously.
"You better go to class," Jason said, walking towards the parking lot. He waited for Max at the usual spot for almost 10 minutes before he showed up.
"What was that?" Max ran over as soon as he saw Jason and asked. He was worried sick about his friend.
"What?'
"You know what I am talking about. Stop playing dumb" Ma pointed at him, asking.
"I don't know. I could hear everyone talking and every lecture. I could feel the different emotions around me. I could even hear lectures from different classes. You tell me what that was"
"Oh my God. This isn't good. I have been reading about the werewolves lately, with the rumors going around that they are here. Could you have been bit by one? If that is the case, then you are turning into one."
"No. The one I saw was in his four feet and a total animal, not human in the animal form."
"Idiot. They do turn into animals sometimes and when they turn rogue."
"If that is the case, what am I going to do?"
"That's hard to answer. We first need to find whoever did it and ask them how to reverse it.""That's going to be hard considering hunter bosses are coming to town, putting me in danger. Also, I didn't think whoever did this would care enough to come to look for me in fear of my life. It seems like we have to find a different solution to this.""Wait. What did you just say? There are ancient hunters in town?" Max seemed in thought, "No wonder your dad has all those gun collections in the basement with different weird liquids," he said, thinking of the day they sneaked at the basement and found the armory. Yeah, it looked like a whole army armory."Dad is a ranger and needs those weapons for animal attacks. And we help sometimes." Jason smiled for a bit. He trusted Max with his secrets, but sometimes it's good to have something to yourself. Besides, his dad was working with the government as a ranger.That would make sense to anyone. They didn't talk much on their way home, with so man
"It has been years, but it seems they are back. The number of people dying around is alarming. It's time to get rid of them for the safety of people." He took a bike of a chicken wing before dropping the rest on the plate and wiping his mouth. Frank looked at them and asked something weird."How is your son. Has he been injured lately?" he seemed to be insinuating something. Both Jayer and Miriam looked at each other and shook their head in confusion."He has been home early, and all the time, he was fine." Mr. Jayer Mackenzie answered, looking surprised and worried at the same time. Is there something we should be worried about" he asked again afterward? He knew his son came home the previous night smelling of blood, but the tricky man had something up his sleeves."Ohh, nothing. It's just that there was a fight between an animal and a man in the wood, which seemed to happen last week. The only people around that area seemed to be your son, his friends, and some few fellows from scho
"I never asked for this. I am supposed to be a hunter, but now, I am a wolf-hunter living with hunters, and we are required to hunt the wolves down. What will happen when they find out about me?" Jason could not help but ask about it. It had been playing around in his mind the entire day."Okay. I will be training you from tonight in the woods. We have to be careful not to be caught, but you need training as soon as possible. That's the only way you could survive and also know how to escape the ancient hunters." Damian said before jumping out the other window"Hey, wait" Before he could finish whatever he was saying, his dad and mum opened the door."Who were you talking to?" Jayer asked, looking around the room. Miriam sniffed the room and looked at his son knowingly. It seemed she perceived something and didn't want to believe it."Honey. Are you alight?" Miriam asked her son and hugged him." Ohh, dear, I know what you are going through. Don't worry. We are here for you." Mrs. Macke
"I think you are ready, but you have to come to me earlier during the full moon. We need to find a place for you to survive until you know how to control the body and the changes. The last one didn't go well, and you almost ripped your friend part. This time I will be in charge, and no more arguments." Damian said before disappearing in front of him. He was too fast.Just as Jason walked out of the wood to go home, he met men with guns. The red lights spread all over the woods. He ran in the opposite direction, but he seemed to have spotted."There he is. Get him." He was too far to see who they were, but he knew for a fact they were the hunters."Ancient hunters. Damn," Jason cursed, running while hiding in blind spots"He went south get him. Don't let him go. They are monsters. Be careful not to be caught by them." Frank said. Jason knew the voice and was scared. That guy was a devil reincarnate. He would kill his family member without blinking if they ever turned into any of the mo
For the past 13 years, life had been fun for Jason, with friends and family being around.But what made Jason who he was, was being a hunter. He loved the duties and responsibility it came with. It gave him a purpose in life. Being a protector of the town, he loved every bit of it. But few people knew about him being a hunter. Their lives were secret in the societySince he was five years, he had known there were supernatural beings out there. They were responsible for ensuring innocent people didn't get hurt.His training days always start with his dad Mr. Jayer Mackenzie and his night training with his mom, Miriam Mackenzie. His mom was versed in magic. She was a witch and a healer. Jason took some of the abilities from her.For as long as he could remember, his days and nights were always training or hunting and school, of course. School is a different matter. He was a different person as well. Innocent, quiet, and weak.In a training field, two men were battling. They wore black t
The little girl changed into a big slender green creature with many little sharp teeth. It hissed and jumped at her. She was shocked but released an invisible wall. The creature hissed and changed its target to Jason. He jumped up in the air and sprayed a white powder on the creature before dropping to the ground and shooting its head.He was breathing heavily by the time he squatted on one knee. Miriam was on the ground from the force. Her heart was still beating fast. She had been a hunter for more than 20 years, but that scary little creature almost ripped her apart."What's that?" Jason asked, squatting at the headless green creature"Its Greeture" Jayer took a long stick from the ground and pushed its head aside."What's that? Never heard of it" Jason looked at the disgusting teeth"You have a lot to learn. I believe this is the 10th different creature you have met so far. Better have a clear record of them and how they can be killed"Yes, sir," Jason replied jokingly. Miriam got
"Who do we have here?" Mike said to his group as he walked over. Jason jumped out and tried to take his clothes. But it was too late. The others were running to him. He looked over at the woods, and a thought came to him. Maybe that was a perfect opportunity to teach them a lesson. There was no one around.He ran to the woods to save his 'ass.'"Hey, Mackenzie. We just want to have fun. Why so serious." One of the boys called behind him as they ran after him"Get him. It would be fun to tie him to a post near the school naked or take pictures of them," Mike said, running after him as well."What about the other idiot?" another asked."Let him. He is already naked. Take his clothes with you and leave them in the woods." Mike said, thinking for a sec."You are evil," Jersey said, laughing aloud."Yeah. That's why you follow me." Mike replied as a matter of fact. Some team members are close to him because they are afraid he will bully them instead. They prefer to be his underdog over ano
Inside a mansion, a family was gathered at a table having a meal together. Jason walked in from the front door and ran directly to his room. His mum and dad called him back, but he didn't answer and ran straight upstairs. He locked the door behind him and ran to the mirror to look at the wound on his left shoulder. He opened a medicine cabinet in the bathroom, took out bandages, disinfectants, wool, and towels, and cleaned the wound. He then pointed the finger at the wound, but it didn't heal.He then took a quick shower before calling Max to confirm he arrived home safe and sound."I was scared. What happened? They talked about you going into the forbidden area when I saw them return. Are you okay?" Max was worried as he tried to inquire about everything"I am okay. I will tell you everything tomorrow. Did you get our stuff back?" Jason was worried about his homework"Yes. Luckily they dropped it nearby.""Okay. I will pick it up very early in the morning before going to school.""Ok
