CHAPTER 1: LIFE TAKES A TURN

Jarry begin his morning like always. He reached school and was in his first period class. The school year had started over again, and he was now in the tenth grade. The class was filling in one by one. Jarry had arrived first since he liked to have time to write in his journal. He looked around as people filled in the classroom. He saw that some of his friends had come into the class, but he just smiled at them and kept writing.

Alison was at her new locker getting it ready for the year. She always made sure that her locker had some style to it. She finished by putting a picture of her family. "There, a new year, a better look." She looked at the time, "Time for class." She said. She walked to her classroom and went inside. She looked around at everyone while she was coming in. She then noticed a boy writing in a journal. She sat down beside him and pulled out her notebook. She started drawing a picture of a rose.

"Yeah, I see it. Are we going in there?" Nessa asked, looking over the room. I wonder what the others are doing.

"Yeah i got to get to the control room of the air conditioning, do you want to stand guard or would you like to go in there?"

Hawk slowly got to the door.

"I think I'll stand guard, better safe than sorry." Nessa replied, pulling out one of her knives, carefully scanning the corridor to make sure it was empty. This is so tense, I'm wound up like a spring.

Hawk nodded and got in unseen, soon he found the controls of the air conditioning and poured the powder in the source of the wind channel.

Slowly and glittering it flew out of the air condition wind channels and filled the room, it won't be long for any wolf creature tu run out, and for every vampire to stand paralyzed, because Hawk insisted on blessing the powder with holy water.

He came back to Nessa with a bright grin on his face.

"let's get outta here, fast..." he whispered.

"I agree." Nessa nodded. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, though. "I'm not sure if I like the way you're smiling. Nothing extremely bad will happen, right?"

"We'll see about that, I hope I did nothing wrong at the alchemy laboratory... and I really hope there won't be any explosions..."

then he turned away and coughed "for the first time..."

Again he opened the door for Nessa.

"I'll be waiting on a roof nearby with my crossbow and scan the area, if yo want you can come with me or fight for yourself, but phone Night first if you do... I think he's more trustworthy than that Matt guy..."

Night was thinking the exact same thing. He ran the facts through his head. 'Where the heck did he get enough money to rent a limo? Friend or no, Amy's job would dictate that he had to pay. And I don't think that Jarry is that rich.' He shook his head. 'What's the point of keeping my identity a secret? Well, people might recognize me as the guy who tried to fight Jarry and broke down on his first day of school. On second thought, I see the tactical advantage in that.' He was still suspcious, but he was afraid to act because he might be wrong again. He called Matt. "What limo company does Amy work for?" he asked.

Hawk finished building up his crossbow, he enlightened a cigarette and laid on the ground scanning the area for the monster to run out of the room because of the silver powder.

He aimed at the door with a stunning bolt that could even put an elephant to sleep.

he inhaled the cigarette.

"Come on... just a few seconds..."

Actually it was Night's job to fight, but Hawk always had a backup plan.

"Amy works for my uncle's company. You probably had no clue that the reason why Jarry and myself are two of the most popular people in school is because we are one of the richest family in America. But that is a story you can ask Jarry later. And doesnt somebody need to go get his girl. And remember, you are hiding who you really are to get Nessa used to the idea of you being with her more than a friend." Matt said and hunged up. Amy walked towards Matt with her stuck up attitude. "So I saw that Hawk and Nessa put silver powered in the air vent. Good thing they dont realize that our rings will protect us from the pain." Amy said with her arms crossed. "Well then, they will be waiting for nothing. Do you really think it is a good idea to make Night and Nessa a couple?" Matt asked. "Yes, a dragon and a witch being a couple, those two things never add up and will be their downfall." Amy said.

(btw, you can read in an old post that the powder is also blessed, if that makes any difference.)

 

The ash on the cigarette slowly fell down as hawk inhaled, and exhaled though his nose.

 

His finger was laying on the trigger without shivering.

He never used a gun ore something like that before he go the crossbow, but something in his blood just told him what to do.

"I hope the others are alright..."

"Right." Nessa mumbled, pulling out her phone, and dialed Night's phone number. "Hey, it's Nessa. You ok? I think we need to keep an eye on Matt." she said, walking into the school.

"You're telling me," Night said. "Every time I ask a question, he finds a convenient way to avoid it." He grimaced. "He may have been lying to us. I can't see or smell anyone with a dark scent. Well, except that limo driver he sent me."

Jarry and Alison sneaked into the nearest classroom which was the music room. "Okay now all you have to do is feel your energy and let it go." Jarry said changing into wolf form and then back. "Okay." Alison said. She closed her eyes and focused her energy, but she didnt change. "I can not do it." Alison said. Jarry took her hands. "Yes, you can. Focus. Here drink some water and try again." Jarry said and handed her some water. She drank it and put it down on the ground. "Okay." She tried again. This time, the water started to move and exploded. "What was that?" Jarry asked as he got up. The whole room was wet and Jarry and Alison were knocked into the wall opposite of each other. "I, I dont know. I just felt my power and that happened." Alison said. "Wait a moment." Jarry said as he walked over to her. He pulled out a bottle of sea water and poured it on Alison. "Jarry!?!?" Alison said. Ten seconds later, her feet were no longer there and she had a golden tail. Her outfit became one entire bikini top and a large tail. "I don't think you are a monster, I think you are a mermaid." Jarry said. "A mermaid? Now I know why I am not allowed to go to the beach." Alison said. "Wait a moment, if you are not the monster, who is? The guys need to know about this." Jarry said he pulled out his cell phone and called the first number he saw which was Nessa.

"I hope the powder works.... and I hope there are no other werecreatures, because if, they would suffer because of the powder right now."

Hawk inhaled and then spit the cigarette to the side, just to put a new one into is mouth.

"Come at me..."

He whispered.

A hand came on the back of Hawk's back.

Hawk sniffed.

"Someone..."

He turned around while spitting out his cigarette, the crossbow fell on the floor while he pulled out his daggers.

There was no one behind Hawk, though.

 

There was no one behind Hawk, though.

Hawk sniffed through the air.... something seemed wrong, the Shaowslayer had the ability to copy some skills of the Undead an Werecreatures, Hawk trained this without knowing since he was 2 years old. The technique he was used was called the wolf's nose... but he couldn't smell any scent but he had a bad feeling as he lied down on the floor again and picked up his crossbow, he also enlightened his cigarette again.

Again a feeling of a hand went down on Hawk's back, but this time the hand went up to Hawk's neck and started to choak him. Another hand lifted him in the air still being choaked. "I am sorry, but I can not let you ruin our plans." a voice said.

"h'ck"

Hawk tried to find his attacker, but it was useless.

"I won't die here... not so soon..."

He held his neck with one hand with the other he reached into his pocket.

"You're too late... if there's a monster of any kind in there... the pain of the blessed powder would devour it from the inside when it's beneath the silver all the time...

Heh... and no matter who you are.... you are h'ck"

Hawk started to loose his breath.

"Worthless against... my friends.."

A beep was to hear from his pocket.

Then he lost consciousness, his cell phone fell out of his pocket, the screen was shining, the SMS program was opened:

--------------

To: Jerry

CC: Dragon boy

Subject: -

Text: SOS.

: P

-------------

 

Smiling the Shadowslayer fell to the ground.

"Good, the little killer has fallen. Good that he doesnt know about the rings power to block anything they try to throw at us." the voice said. Then the creature disappeared.

Night felt sick. 'Crap, too much food,' He thought. He stumbled into the bathroom. Luckily, it was empty. He went into a stall and puked. He then went to the sink and splashed his face. He then looked at his reflection in shock: his right eye was yellow. Gasping, he stepped back. 'Dragonborn puberty' Draco said. 'Good thing I'm alone then. It would give people another reason to pick on me,' Night thought.

Nessa snapped her phone shut, only to have it ring again. "Oh no, what now?" she muttered, heading to the dance. "Hello, Jarry? What is it? We think Matt might be up to something." she said quickly, looking around her, suddenly paranoid. Somethings not right. She quickened her pace toward the dance.

(The SMS was sent to Night and Jerry)

"Forget that, we have more important problems! The monster is not Alison. Alison is a true mermaid." Jarry said.
