Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: The Hybrid

"Ok Sage you ready?" Sage heard a voice say beside him as he stared out the window. "Hmm? Oh uhh yeah yeah I'm ready." Sage said breaking out of his dreamlike state. Turning towards Damien Sage smiled " so what is it I'm doing again? " he asked the Nightwalkers leader. Damien sighed but had a small smile " my protege you are quite forgetful recently, you are entering in a tournament between us Nightwalkers , the dogs, and the Witches. " . Sage smiled and ran a hand through his red hair " oh ok ok , umm sir I have a question. " Sage said his orange eyes looking up at Damien. " Say whatever is on your mind Sage you know I don't mind. " Sage nodded and gulped. " Well sir I have been having dreams of a girl who's apart of the wolves. She keeps calling me Fenris and well whenever I use my vampiric powers they don't feel right. " Sages face becomes expressionless.

"So sir my question is.....what am i?" At Sages question Damien stayed silent for a few moments before smiling and laughing. " Boy I think you're just stressed, what are you? You're a Nightwalker. " he said with a smile. Sage let out a sigh and smiled back looking relieved though deep in his mind he still had a inkling of doubt. "Thank you sir, well I'm going to go take a nap I'll need my strength for the tournament. With that Sage walked off towards his and Bella's room. Once Sage was gone Damiens smile dropped and he walked off into his office which doubled as a room. "Damn it's been too long since the witch dropped by." Damien said to himself sighing, sitting in his chair Damien mumbled to himself before looking at his computer screen.

Waiting a few more moments to make sure Sage was really asleep Damien got up and began to walk to his room. Quietly opening the door Damien looked at the sleeping young man. His hair had black streaks through the orange and he was starting to have a wolfish appearance to him. Damien frowned at this and looked at the two bite scars at his neck. "First the bite, second the blood" Damien muttered and bit his own wrist then held it down to Sage's mouth. Letting the blood drip down Damien then pulled out a knife " Finally one is reborn by death" he finished the mantra as he stabbed Sage.

Sage thrashed as the stab woke him up and he looked at Damien with scared tear filled eyes. As the blood bubbled out of his wound Sage eventually stopped thrashing. Mere seconds later Damien took the knife out of Sages chest and the wound began to close. The sounds of bats could be heard and the darkness seemed to be pulled toward Sage. Opening his orange eyes says gasped and felt his body to make sure it was in one piece. " What the fuck!? " he yelled at Damien and began to get out of bed. "Don't worry buddy you won't even remember this " he said as a cloaked man appeared behind him. Next thing Sage knew his mind turned blank and he was screaming in pain.

Sage woke up from his nap and yawned running his hand through his red hair then rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Getting up he grabbed a blood pack and drank it his eyes widening as he did. Usually blood tasted off to him but this time it tasted sweet like how he would imagine honey would taste like. The taste was so intoxicating that his fangs slid out for once , a matching set on his top and bottom canines. His fangs felt thinner than usual but still were thicker than the fangs of other Nightwalkers he had met. Looking in the mirror his physical appearance still looked the same, thin yet with some muscle definition which the other vamps didn't have, pale but not too pale and his red hair and orange eyes. "Finished admiring yourself?" Sage heard Damien ask and turned around to look at his father figure.

Smiling Sage nodded and stood up " today's tournament day? " he asked matter of factly. " you know it" Damien replied " so that means we're leaving c'mon " "let me get dressed real quick." Sage replied and got dressed in the Nightwalkers unofficial uniform. " Alright let's go. " Sage said and began to walk to the garage.
