Chereads / The Ultimate Lycan System / Chapter 14 - Rescue?

Chapter 14 - Rescue?

The scream was so quiet Sion thought he'd imagined it, yet again followed by a grunt had him turn around fast while his senses sharpened. His eyes almost like a hawk zoomed in down the street to where a woman was being dragged into an alleyway. Not thinking he ran like a madman towards them. 'What did they want with her?!'

>> Host, killing intent is present <<

'Kill!? These bastards were going to kill this woman!?' Stopping behind a van not too far away at record speed his face peered through the windows of the van watching the perpetrators and the woman who was practically being dragged.

What should he do!? Could he really do anything!?

>> Identifying 2 Males <<

"You can do that?" Surprise whispered Sion as he gritted his teeth. He'd changed right? He could win right?

>> Males identified <<

> two inferior life forms - Dogs

- ages, 24, 21

>> fighting ability lacking, host is stronger than both

> winning 99% <<

'What's with the 1%!?'

>> Host may get injured <<

'Do I really go and try to save her?' Watching them disappear behind another corner Sion punched the van leaving a sizeable dent however didn't notice as his senses and mind were focused on one thing. To save that woman.

Running down the alley way and turning the second corner the two males had knives as they proceeded to strip the woman. 'These scum bags!' As if not himself, anger poured through and out of him in crashing waves. He remembered all the times he was bullied in that one moment, no a single person helped him. Not a single person had even looked his way!

"Hey! Get off her!" His voice came out before he'd collected his thoughts! What the hell in god's name was he doing!? If anyone had seen this they'd probably laugh and then had punched him for getting in their way. But things were different...

"What do you want boy?" One of the thugs said, tsk'ing in annoyance. He'd finally found a decent woman he could sell to the Underground Cage. Of course he was going to partake in her a bit, her plump ass and tits he just couldn't resist and neither could his friend in arms.

'What the fuck am I doing!?' Swore Sion as the thug got close only to realise that Sion was still taller. The thug noticing this got a little worried but the worry seemed to vanish when his 'Second gender' picked up the boy's scent. Grinning he stepped closer to intimidate regardless of his height disadvantage. "Listen boy, I don't really need another body on my record so why don't you just go back to wherever you came from and I might let this go?" 'This boy is just a human, what harm could he do'.

The woman suddenly bit the other thug that was covering her mouth as he swore behind them before the female cried "Please! Please save me-" suddenly the second thug kicked her right in the face full force. His ears and dog tail exposed as his feral instincts kicked in.

"Stupid cat bitch!" He roared as the man in front of Sion turned his head in their direction.

"Idiot! She's prim merchandise!" He scolded. Using the distraction Sion brought his fist back and went directly in.

"Oi!" The second perpetrator went to warn his mate however it was too late. In that moment when his mate had been scolding him for kicking their next pay check in the face. Sion had punched the man with full force he could muster up.

*crack*

The woman's instincts to survive that had kicked in earlier had made her ears and cat tail appear, flinched at the sound of the crack. The man beside her watched his mate drop to the ground, dead, just like that. No warning, no mercy!

Silence. Deafening silence, he'd killed someone! Sion who'd never hurt a fly had K.O. a thug within a sec of a distraction! But something was off, instead of vomiting or yelling hysterically as he would of done in the past. Sion relished in his kill as if this was the best thing he'd ever done!?

'Dangerous'

The second thug realising a little too late tripped backward in terror, his nose picked up a human but his instincts were alert. They screamed at him to run away from Sion, run away now before it was too late. The woman watching shook in fear, she thought she was going to be saved! Yet a bigger threat had heard her cries.

'Monster'

The woman shivered as she saw Sion's eyes, they almost looked to be pitch black! Her intuition had never been wrong, as a cat for her 'Second gender' she'd always had a nack of knowing people off the bat. It was something she prided herself with but this was her loss, she'd finally met someone she couldn't read.

"L-look man, I was just follow orders! I-if you want her, she's all yours!" Shuttered the second perp as he tried to use the woman as a bait to escape. But Sion was having none of that, as if an inner part of him was awakened he took a step forward.

The thug seeing that his first bait failed looked at the terrified cat bitch and his smiled wickedly. Still holding his knife even though he'd tripped he grabbed the woman's hair and tugged her towards him with his blade to her throat.

Sion stopped as he watched the man with calculating eyes as he stood up with the shivering woman. The thug was going to use the one thing that would always allow his victory, another life. His blade pressed against her throat slowly dragged her closer to Sion.

"Listen boy and listening well" he started off, finding a new confidence with having a hostage at his disposal. "You should really leave, I don't really want to kill her. She'd fetch me a pretty price but if you get in my way-" the blade got deeper drawing a bit of blood as the woman yelped in terror, all her fighting spirit was gone. She felt hopeless, useless even.

Sion picking up the strong metallic scent let out a low growl? What was wrong with him?! It was like he was present but not in control, in control but not able to bend his will or the burning desire to see this thug die?!

Hearing the growl both the woman's and the thugs animal ear features dropped to the side of their heads in submission. Yet the thug was determined, call it being dumb or stupidity or just reckless they all came under the same category.

"Let. Her. Go." Sion hissed this time, surely that wasn't even him talking this time! But he felt his lips move and the warmth in his chest intensify, It had indeed been his voice!?

Hearing the power and authority in Sion's voice had the man's previous confidence shatter as in that split moment his blade faltered on the woman's throat.

That's all he needed as Sion almost in slow motion made it over to them both this time exceeding fast to just impossible! The running he'd been doing daily was really paying off as he stood behind them both and the knife dropped to the floor. In relief the woman too dropped to the floor, sucking in much needed air and rubbing where the blade had managed to slightly graze open her flesh. Curious as to what happened to her attacker she looked up to her side of where he would have been- only she wished she hadn't.

There her attacker seemingly frozen on the spot stood motionlessly without a head attached to his shoulders. As if feeling the weight had changed, the now lifeless body plunged forward in front of her. She wanted to scream but the cold shiver she felt reminded her of who was still behind her.

But was he friend or foe?
