Ace's POV:
"Man please. I won." Kyle said, as we made our way back to the house. "I can tell y'all right now. Y'all don't have the skills to take me on. I will demolish you niggas." Mike said. "Mike whatever. Remember what happened last time we raced? You were so far behind, I forgot you were even there." I said. "Man whatever." He said. We laughed as we came to the lake in our backyard.
Suddenly, we all heard a loud boom that made us jump. It sounded like a bomb went off. "Whoa. What the fuck was that?" Kyle asked. "That sounded like a fucking bomb." Mike said. Suddenly, a wave of energy knocked all of us down. "Shit!!" Kyle said. "What the hell was that?" Mike asked. "I think that was a shockwave from something." I said. I shifted into a wolf.
Where did that come from? I looked around for any sign of where the boom could've came from. "That was loud." Kyle said. "Exactly. Come on. Let's go see what that was." Mike said. We transformed them took off into the woods. We ran all the way to town. We stayed in the shadows and looked around. There was passing by cars but everyone was looking around.
Car alarms were going off. "So the whole town heard the blast and felt the shockwave." Mike said. He looked at us. "So what the hell was that sound?" He asked. I looked at Kyle. He flapped his wings as he was still a bat. He looked at me. I shrugged. "Come on." Mike said. We ran back into the woods and looked around. "I don't see anything." Mike said.
"Me neither." I said. "That blast didn't come out of nowhere. It had to come from something." Kyle said. I looked up at the sky. "Hey guys. Look. There's smoke." I said. "You think that's where it came from?" Kyle asked. "It's a possibility." I said. We all transformed and ventured further into the forest. Kyle and Mike flew up high above me, as they could see farther and get the idea of where we need to go.
They guided me to a very smoky clearing. We walked over to a very smoky car. "Damn. What could've done this?" Kyle asked. I looked around and saw a big, deep hole in the ground. "I'm guessing that hole has something to do with it." I said. We walked over to it. "Did anyone by any chance bring a flashlight?" Kyle asked. "No. Why would we? It was supposed to be a simple night race." I said.
"I'm just asking." He said. He looked at the car. "This car is completely totaled." He said. "Why is a car way out here anyways?" I asked. "Maybe someone drove out here by accident?" Mike asked. "And created a giant hole like this?" I asked. "I don't know man. I'm just tryna find answers." He said. "What for? This does concern us." I said. "Ace stop being such an asshole. Someone could still be hurt. They could still be out here." Kyle said.
"In a very smoky, totaled car?" I asked. "It's a possibility they could be still out here Ace. They probably injured themselves or others and probably walking around, lost in the forest." He said. "Maybe but I'd doubt they'd still be out here. You see this act? It's smoky black and deformed. This looks like it's been burning for hours." I said. "But still. We should look around for any signs that someone could be nearby." He said.
All of a sudden, we heard a loud scream. I transformed into a wolf and looked around. My ears flicked back and forth. I was trying to figure out and locate where the scream came from. No way someone is out here in this freezing cold snow. I looked around carefully. Maybe Kyle was right. Someone is probably out here. We heard even more screaming. It was louder than before.
"What was that?" I asked. "See? I told you. Someone could be out here." Kyle said. "Maybe they are hurt." Mike said. "So?" I said. "So? Ace it's snowing. If they are injured, they'll probably freeze out here." He said. We heard more screaming. "Sounds like someone is getting murdered." I said. "Come on!" Kyle said. We all transformed and ran off into the forest.
We ran and ran through the snow til we saw footsteps. Kyle transformed, making me and Mike do the same. "What's up?" I asked. "Do you guys smell that? I smell Rose's scent." He said. "Dude come in. I know you have a crush on her but chill." I said. "No I smell her too. And Bailey's scent. And I smell Angel's. Hers is the strongest." Mike said. I sniffed the air and the smell of vanilla hit me.
Angel. "Do you think they are still out here?" Mike asked. "You don't think they stayed out here after Angel and Ace got into it?" Kyle asked. "No. Angel would've had the smarts to leave." I said. "But Ace, you did push her." Kyle said. "And you saw her punch me. She's a big girl." I said. "Wait. You guys don't think they were the ones in the car?" Mike asked. My heart raced.
"No way. You saw how totaled they car was. No way they would've survived whatever it is that caused the car to be messed up like that." I said. "He's right. But Ace if there are out there, we can't just leave them." Kyle said. Then we heard even more screaming. This time it was louder. "Okay that sounds like them." I said. We transformed and took off running.
We followed the screams of the girls to a ditch. We looked down and saw Bailey trapped underneath a downed tree. "Just hold on Bailey." Angel said. She and Rose struggled to lift the tree off of her. "Okay Bailey. Get out!! We can't hold it much longer!" Rose cried. Bailey crawled out from under the tree. "Her leg is bleeding." Angel said. "It also hurts." Bailey said. She stood up then looked up at us.
"Oh come on!! More creatures of the night?!" And cried. Angel and Rose looked up at us. They all screamed and took off running. "Come on!!" Kyle cried. We ran through the snow after the girls. We chased them for a few meters before Angel fell down. She rolled down down a hill and slammed into a boulder. She didn't move. "Angel!!" Rose and Bailey cried.
They ran down the hill and came to her aide. Me and the guys transformed. "Oh man. She's not moving." Kyle whispered. I stared down at Angel. She wasn't moving. "She got the boulder so hard." Mike said. "Angel? Angel please wake up." Rose cried. Angel then moved. "Oh fuck my head hurts." She said. "We can't risk them knowing our secret." Kyle said. Me and the guys quickly transformed.
Angel looked up at us. "Oh God they followed us!!" She cried. They all took off running again. We ran after them. We chasers them down to a frozen lake. We corned the girls. Bailey was about to step out onto the frozen lake before Rose stopped her. "No!! The lake is probably freezing cold, thanks to all the snow. It's probably still fragile." She said. "So?" Angel said. "So, we step into that lake, we fall through and get frozen solid." Rose said.
"I rather take my chances with the lake than those demons of the night." Bailey said. She ran onto the lake. Rose and Angel tried to hold her back but they failed. Bailey fell through the ice and plunged into the water, pulling Angel and Rose with her into the water. They screamed as they struggle to climbed out. Luckily, they did. I looked at the guys. They both looked at me then back at them.
I looked at the girls. They cowered close to the lake as they shivered from the freezing cold water. Angel looked up at me. I actually felt sorry her. Angel. "Look, whatever you guys are, please don't hurt us." She said, softly. I stared at her. She looked so soft and fragile, especially since she was soaking wet. "Look, I don't know if you can understand us, but we don't want any trouble. We're lost right now." Rose said.
I looked at the guys. They both moved back. We moved back far enough where they couldn't see us then they shifted. "Yo what should we do?" Mike asked. "I don't know." I said. "Well we gotta do something. We can't just leave them out here in the night. It's snowing. They're gonna freeze to death." Mike said. "We'll just carry them back to town and hope they find their way home." I said.
"Okay I guess. Ace, you carry Angel on your back. I'll carry Rose and Mike will carry Bailey. Alright let's go." Kyle said, as he transformed. Are you kidding me?! I don't wanna touch Angel. I shifted into a wolf and ran after them. We saw the girls had ran off about forty yards. We ran up to them and picked them up. They all screamed. "Oh God!! We're going to die!!" Bailey cried.
"Oh man oh man oh man!! This is way too high up!!" Rose cried. I looked back at Angel. She had her eyes closed. She gripped onto my fur as I ran. "Please God. I don't wanna die." She said, softly. My hearing was good enough for me to hear it. We all ran to town and dropped them off. When Angel got off, I sniffed her. Ugh. Why does she smell like smoke. Oh. Maybe they were in that car.
Me and the guys all ran back through the woods and to the house. "There you boys are." Christina said, spooking us. We looked at her. "Oh hey." Kyle said. "Douglas is pissed that you aren't in bed." She said. "We're going to bed now." I said. We quickly walked into the house and was met with an angry Douglas and Rachel. We all took a shower and got in bed. I tossed and turned in my bed.
I couldn't stop thinking about Angel. I sat up. I can't sleep. Fuck it. I stood up and put on my shoes. I slowly opened and closed my door. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Kyle. We glared at each other. "What you doing?" I asked. "Nigga what you doing?" He asked. "I'm going out for a walk." I said. We heard a door closed. We turned our heads to see Mike coming out of his room.
He looked up at us then jumped. "Jesus man. What y'all doing?" He asked. "Ace is sneaking out." Kyle said. "And what are y'all doing?" I asked, crossing my arms. "I was...just gonna....." Mike said. "Exactly." I said. "Okay so what are we all doing?" Kyle asked. I sighed. "Okay I was gonna go find Angel and make sure she and the girls got home safely." I said. "Alright let's go." Kyle said.
We quietly walked downstairs and out the door. We transformed and ran all the way to town. We transformed when we hit town. We walked around the city, searching for the girls. "What if they found their way home?" I asked. Suddenly, a dudes fell to the ground. "Hey man. She got some fight in her." Another man said. The man rubbed his mouth. "She definitely got one hell of a punch." He said.
He walked into an alleyway. We looked at each other then followed him. We peeled around the corner and saw three men surrounded three girls on the ground. "Get off of me!!" Angel yelled. She kicked one of the dudes in the nuts. He fell to the ground. "Whew I like this one. She got some fight in her. I like my when my fish squirms." A man said. The man began to pull her pants down.
Ah hell no!! I ran over to them and pushed the man down. I kicked him and punched him over and over. "The fuck?!" A man said. Kyle and Mike ran over and fought the other two. "Ace!! Stop!!" Angel cried. I looked at her. She had such fear in her eyes. "Yeah Ace. No need to kill him." Mike said. "Are you girls all right?" Kyle asked. "Yes, thanks to you guys." Rose said. She stood up but fell. "Ouch!" She said.
"You okay?" Kyle alder, walking over to her. "That guy kicked my leg and now it hurts." She said. I looked at Angel. She struggled to stand up but she also fell. I put and arm around her waist. "Thanks. What are you guys doing here so late anyway?" She asked. "Well we came back out-" I cut Mike off by kicking him. "Oww!!" He said, glaring at me. "He meant that we were out earlier so we came back out for snacks." Kyle said.
"At twelve o clock at night?" Bailey said. "We have big appetite. What are you guys doing out here so late?" Kyle asked. "We got lost in the forest earlier. And you won't believe this." Angel said. "What?" I asked. She looked at something behind us. We turned around to see the three men staring at us. "I hope guys are awake to get your ass beat again." I said. "No Ace. Don't fight please. Just take us home please." Angel said.
"No. We need to go to a hospital. My leg hurts." Rose said. "Bitch no. I'm already late getting home. My Mom is going to kill me." Angel said. Just then, the three men stood up. Me and the guys knocked them out again. "Okay now we can go to the hospital." Kyle said. We carried the girls to the hospital and got them checked out. "No, no broken bones. Just bruises. Maybe take some ibuprofen or Advil relief." The doctor said.
I sighed softly and looked at Angel. "I don't think you girls should be walking around here this time of night. You're very lucky these guys came and rescued you." The doctor continued. "We were lost in the woods." Bailey said, defensively. "Why would you in the woods?" He asked. "You're not gonna believe us if we told you." Rose said. "Try me." The doctor said. "My car actually drove us into the woods." Rose said.
The fuck? "Did you guys hit your heads or something? Did those men beat y'all something fierce?" I asked. "We're not kidding. Rose's car drove us straight into the woods. And then something else crazy happened." Angel said. "Look, I'll prescribe some other medications for you ladies but try to stay out of the woods and try to not stay out this late." The doctor said, before leaving.
I looked at the girls. "Rose's car drove y'all into the woods? Rose you got a smart car? You got money." Kyle said. "No. I don't have a smart car. My car was normal. It just drove us into the woods." Rose said. "Something else happened to us." Angel said. Before she could continue, the doors flew open. In walked several angry looking parents. "Angel you getting yo ass beat." A woman said.
"Mama it wasn't my fault." Angel said. "Bailey you are so grounded." A man said. "Same goes for you Rose." A woman said. "Mom, I can explain." Rose said. "Oh I'm sure you can." The woman said. "It wasn't our fault. My car drove us into the woods!!" Rose cried. "How the fuck can a car drive you into the woods?! What were you even doing in the woods in the first place?!" Her Dad asked. "Exploring." Rose said.
"And trust me. It's true!! The car drove us straight into the woods." Bailey said. "Look, you girls are already in a lot of trouble. Do NOT make this worse." Bailey's Mom said. The girls were taken home and that was it. I felt so bad for all them. I don't know if their car actually drove them into the woods but I don't think they meant to stay out this late. But still. They smelled smoky. Maybe they went to a party and someone had some weed on them.
I shook my head as I climbed in bed. No. No way. Angel wouldn't do drugs....would she? Maybe it's possible. She probably grew up and did a lot of shit when we were apart. But then again she's a surfer? Surfers couldn't do some shit like that. I then had a thought cross my mind. Those three men. I sat up then walked out the door. I walked downstairs and out the door. I transformed into a wolf and ran all the way back to town.
I looked up and down the streets til I came back to the alleyway. I sniffed around, still in my wolf form. They were just here. I looked up. They couldn't have gone far. As if on cue, I saw the same three men walk out of a bar. "Man we almost had those girls!!" One said. I hid in the shadows. "I know right?! Oooh if I see either one of those boys, I'll rip their heads off." Another said. I narrowed my eyes. I waited for them to walk past me.
I then growled. They turned their heads towards me. I smirked. They came closer to me. Yes yes YES!! Then they saw me. "What the fuck is that?!" One cried. "Don't move!! Maybe if we don't move, it won't see us." Another said. The fuck? I'm not T-Rex. They just stood there. "Fuck this shit man!! I'm out!!" The last one said. He took off running. I ran after him. As soon as I got the chance, I tackled him and sunk my teeth into him.
He cried out in pain. I twisted his head around and heard it snap. His body went limp. I turned around to see the other two running away. They ran into a bar. Few minutes later, I saw a woman come out. She looked around. I quickly hid. "I don't see it. Are you guys sure it was big wolf? You guys did have too much to drink." The lady said. The two men then peeled out. "We swear we saw the wolf. It tore our friend apart." One said. He then looked at me. I snarled as I backed away.
"There it is!!" He cried. I stepped to the side and transformed. I walked out into the street. The woman frowned. "It just a boy. Go home. We're locking up for the night." She said. "If you guys don't get out of here, I'll call the cops." A man said, as he locked the doors. He and the woman walked over to a car then got in. They drove off into the night. "Hey you!! You're the guy who stopped us earlier." One said.
I smirked as they approached me. "Yes. I am." I said. Then I transformed. They both gasped and screamed as I tore them apart. I smiled as I climbed in bed. I smiled to myself as I drifted off to sleep.
