THE NIGHT SO CLOSE TO ITS DAWN, the swerving wind blew across the woods into the dampened light shining upon the street. The cooing sound echoed across St George Vicniski Avenue into the isolated ground of Bay Horth High. It was an unusual night with the moon at it apex, the Mayor had made a curfew to restrict movement of the people of Bay Horth. Some creatures finds lurking in the dark so amazing- especially the night of the full moon.
Having lost their powers to the witches, the only time a Lycanthrope have the opportunity to feel its full potential has been limited to just some few hours every month. Since Elaine had place a curse on the Lycanthrope in 1867, they have wallow in darkness for centuries; with no hope of who to lift the curse. Lifting the moon curse comes with a lot of sacrifice- they need a witch who is willing to uplift the curse and for centuries, they have found none.
It was some minutes past nine, the boys race their way down the St George avenue. Having sneaked out of the mighty penthouse located somewhere among the woods and compelled from the reach of humans. The boys drifted down the street before making a sharp bend to the left and halted in front of an isolated ground, it was BayHorth High. BayHorth High was founded in 1972 by the founding families- and was taken over by the government eight years later. The school is the only highschool suited in Bay Horth, with a lot of controversies occurring in the school before it was taken over by the government. Lori Blake, a student of BayHorth High and a nonresident of Bay Horth was attacked by an animal on her way home from school- the founding families knew it wasn't an animal attack but they had to make up a story and make people believe it was an animal attack.
Series of highschool death occurred after the attack on Lori. Cases of animal attack on a highschool students increased drastically which caused the shutting down of BayHorth High. Bay Horth a town of roughly 780 people have got people fleeing the town for a safer place and the population of Bay Horth became 328 in 1976. Bay Horth tourist attractions became a nightmare and a place of doom for people- there was nothing so fascinating about Bay Horth anymore- the vampires now rules and every humans have been compelled. The witches try to form an inner circle to reclaim the town that was once in their possession- but all to no avail. The witches sometimes wonder how the vampires were able to get every humans in Bay Horth under their spell- but they couldn't find the right answer.
"Hope it is not what am thinking" Cole said, as he stare at the fence of BayHorth but Lex had jumped his way over the fence of BayHorth High before Cole could think otherwise.
"Adam, why is Lex always getting us into trouble" he continued.
"We are vamps and this is our town. So we ain't trespassing" Adam replied
Cole had always been the silent one, he was more like a nerd. Adam on the other hand is a descendant of the first vampire. His great grand, Kol had began the bloodline of vampires but what remains a mystery was Lex. They all knew his mother Sarah, a vampire who had ran away and lived among the humans for two years. Sarah had died from a werewolf bite- there had been different rumors about what really happened to Sarah on the night of the crusader. Lex was something greater than a usual vampire. He was faster, his reflex was quicker, his hearing aid was much better, and he was just so invisible. And that brought up speculations among the vamps, he wasn't an Olsen's but his abilities were similar to a descendant of the first vampire.
"Lex, watch out" Adam screamed.
As usual, Lex reflex was much better. He had drifted so quick and had prevented a collision with the unknown creature.
"That was a close one" he said, grinning.
A loud sound came from the forest behind the school, and more creatures began to hop out of the forest. Most of them jumped into the school compound. They were running like they were been pursued. The boys dodged the creatures to prevent any possible encounter. One of the creature with blood dripping from its neck turned towards the boys and tried to attack them. Instantly, Adam stepped up and held the creature horn. He turned it towards the rest with a dramatic reflex and then smack it buttock which made it ran towards the rest.
"It is just a deer" Adam said, simply.
"Always showing your Olsen prowess" lex said with a wink
Adam ignored him. He knew Lex could be like that at times, always mocking him whenever he saves them or does something so outstanding.
"It was in fear....."
"What was in fear?" Cole asked
"The deer..... They were running for their lives"
"Okay- okay.... Action boys" Lex said, trying to digress from what was been discussed. "you guys are digressing. Don't forget what we are here for- and that is girls... You know, BayHorth High has a lot of hot chicks. So let the issue of deer and any unknown creatures lay low"
Adam mind was still there, he was really interested in the creatures scaring those animals.
"We should go back to the penthouse; it is the full moon and you know what happens on full moon" Cole warned
"So? Don't forget those crazy lycans- shape shifters- werewolves or whatsoever they are called ain't our match"
"Lex!" He screamed "they would be at their full potential and you know they hunt in packs, and that could be deadly"
"You scared? Better don't be. We gat an Olsen with us" lex said, smiling.
"This ain't a joke, lex" Cole said, giving him a serious look.
"I'm nobody saviour, especially not your saviour. Anytime I save you, you spit it back to my face" Adam retorted, giving Lex a disgusting look.
"Huh, so you prefer watching me die and ....."
Noises from the hostel cut him off. They watch the students ran out of their hostel and scattered around the school premises. It was like they were in terror, fear had gripped most of them.
"And what the hell is going on?"
"I think those deer just got acquainted with our precious students" Cole said, and turned to lex " -and your hot chicks"
"Guess it's time to be the superhero" lex said, drifting towards the students.
"What in Hades name is Lex problem?" Cole asked in disgust but Adam just grinned.
"Don't tell me you don't love adventure" Adam said, and within a blink of an eye, he was also gone.
"Adventure!......oh shit! also gone" Cole said, with a hoarse voice.
He saw a lady been pursued by a deer but he couldn't help it but to help out.
"This is so not funny" he said, surrendering to them and ran towards the lady. He grabbed her waist with his left hand and flipped to the other side. He stopped the deer with his right hand and knocked it out.
"You are my Superman" the lady voice came so soft and slow
"Superman" Cole said with a scoff
He took her to a safe place and laid her down. Her beauty captured his eye. She was a brunette with deep eye brow and dark lips. She look sixteen and Cole couldn't stop admiring her as she laid low on the floor.
"She is beautiful..."
"Cole!" Lex screamed and brought him back from his little fantasy.
"What!"
"Help me with this" lex said, angrily "this stupid creatures are so frustrating"
Cole ran towards him and in a seconds he was right beside Lex who was holding a rope in his hand.
"Tie their horns"
"Is that your plan? You just going to tie their horns together with this little rope?" Cole asked in disgust.
"We are just going to tie the ones the rope can tie... You know what I mean?"
"No!"
"Okay, nerd- You have a plan?"
"We are going to divert them and send them pass the school gate......"
"So they can go into the town and starts destroying properties?" Lex cut in sharply and Cole shrugged "sounds like an awkward plan. We stick to my plan.... Tie as many deer as you can...."
A sudden noise erupted from the forest. It was the sound of hooves, those deer kept coming into the school compound.
"More deer? Is this compound even secured? How on earth are they entering the compound?" Lex yelled
"I was about to ask you the same question"
"Me?" Lex gave him a disgusting look "something is scaring them, and I must find out what that is before it kills a human"
'Where is Adam?"
"Adam?" Lex looked around but Couldn't find a silhouette of Adam "let me go look for him"
"Lex, come back here. Don't leave me alone with these creatures" Cole screamed but before he knew it, Lex was gone.
"Leeeeeeeeeeeeex!!!
***
"You shouldn't have come here" the voice was thick and hoarse
Adam was lying helplessly on the floor, his mouth were full of blood. The werewolves had dominated him.
"You must be a fool to walk alone in the forest" another voice said
Adam manage to get to his feet; he staggered helplessly like a drunkard. He wasn't going to sit and watch the lycans assault him. At least he had been so successful in preventing their bites. The bite of a lycan is so poisonous to the vamps, it spreads faster than the venom of a snake and could kill a vampire if it reaches the heart.
"Do you know who I'm?" Adam said, trying to put his pride intact but the lycans wasn't moved. "You guys are only five. Your mistake could harm your pack and even your fractions" Adam continued
The werewolf alpha raised his eyebrows and was ready to find more information.
"I'm an Olsen" he said, hoping for them to fidget but they weren't. So I will give you just a second, you are going to hand me the girl and we are all going to forget this happened "
Adam thought he had been so successful in manipulating them but hell No, it was his doom.
"Do you know how long I have been trying to get hold of an Olsen? Guess today is indeed my lucky day" the alpha said
"Luc....Lucky?" Adam stammered, and was gripped with fear. He saw the alpha shifted into a beast and that could be very deadly.
"I have waited a long time to avenge the death of my family. What Austin did to them; every time I close my eyes, I could hear my father screaming in pain, my mother begging for her life, my sister clutching unto his heels"
"Wait a minute! Austin? My dad?"
"So he is your father? Guess now is the right time" the alpha howled and his fangs were dripping with saliva.
Adam knew he must prevent the fangs from entering his system if he wants to live to see another day. He suddenly wished lex was there to repay his debts- debt of saving him and Cole numerous times. The rest of the packs tries to pin Adam down but he managed to overcome them until one of the wolves attacked him from behind. The attack made him lose focus, so the rest pounced on him. They dragged him towards their alpha. Adam suddenly realized the only way out was screaming to alert Lex and Cole. His voice was at the loudest pitch, he knew the moment the alpha fangs penetrate through his system, that would be the end. Suddenly, a strange cooing circulated the woods; the fog build up like it was winter; the rustling of leaves began to give Adam hope.
"I warned you not to mess with an Olsen" Adam said, smiling below the unraveled alpha but to his surprise, it was a deer that ran out of the bush and he felt despondent.
"Oh! your emergency call got diverted" the alpha said, and the rest of the pack burst out laughing.
For a second, Adam hope dash away into the thin air. His Olsen prowess couldn't do the trick and he felt so weak- with his cold temperate body beginning to chill out. He couldn't but hope Lex and Cole were coming to his rescue: it was suppose to be a clean and silent sneak out. They had broken the rules laid down by Austin and they will suffer the consequences if they fail to return to the penthouse before the sentinel starts the dormitory check.
"Oops, guess I just pick up his emergency call" the voice came so husky from behind the trees. Adam face lit up immediately; It was Lex, he hid in the dark and warned the werewolves to surrender. He gave them a minute to release Adam and loose grip of the lady they had tied down.
"So you think staying in the dark would scare us. Come out and fight like a man"
Lex jumped out from where he was hiding. He swooped a wolf and inserted into the other werewolf holding Adam a mouthful of his fangs. He helped Adam to his feet and rested him behind a tree.
"What the hell took you so long?" Adam asked, panting.
"Traffic, I guess" Lex said, smiling
"I warned you but you just didn't listen" Adam said, coughing
The Alpha was scared, he hadn't seen anyone move so fast before and struck so hard within a blink.
"Attack!" The Alpha screamed
Lex overpowered them in no time. His abilities were growing stronger day after day, so he defeated all the werewolf in a short time and was left alone facing the Alpha.
"You just made your pack suffered"
"You will pay for this" the alpha growled, and his pack stood up and left.
Lex went over to where Adam was laying
"Did you bite that guy?" Adam asked
"Guess I will take that as a thank you for saving your life"
"I'm serious. Did you?" Adam said, frowning
"All part of sense defense- I just saved your life, that is all that matters. So please stop crucifying me"
"You know what happens when a vampire bite a Lycan" Adam eyebrow rises.
"They will get him treated before the venom spreads- At least a vampire bite isn't as powerful as theirs. So you don't have to worry"
Lex turned his head to see the lady being tied to a tree, she was sitting in fear with hope of been forgotten. She look so scared and had seen what she wasn't suppose to see. The war between vampires and Lycanthropes seems like an endless war which started five decades ago with Lycanthrope having more casualty than what the vampires could record.
"And who is this?" Lex said, as he walk towards the girl.
"Oh! I heard her screaming. So I ran there without hesitation but they were all over me in a seconds"
"That is what happens when you wander off without me" Lex said, giving him some awkward smile.
Adam bent over and untied her. He could hear her heartbeat race as he held her- Her heartbeat skipped in fear and she loose from Adam grip and ran away.
"Don't forget to clean up your mess" Lex shouted.
Adam pursue her and stopped her before she could leave the woods. He grabbed her tightly and she tries to fight her way out.
"Don't be scared, I won't hurt you" He whispered, reassuring her but her beauty captivate him. He couldn't but help it for she was prettier than anything he had seen. She tries everything possible to free herself but his grip were too strong. Adam looked straight into her eyes making her concentrate as he utter some soft enchanting words into it. He had developed this strange and unusual feelings he had never felt for anyone before. He had wanted her to remember him but he just couldn't, so he had to do what was right by making her forget everything that happened tonight.
"Forget ever coming to the forest, and everything you saw some minutes ago. Go back home and enjoy your life as a normal teenage girl"
"-as a normal teenage girl" she repeated softly and left. It was like she had totally forgot everything that had happened about forty five minutes ago. Mind compulsion was one of vampires greatest weapon. They could compel anything except for a vampire.
"Are you sure she has forgotten?" Lex said as he walked up to Adam.
"My compelling never fails" Adam smoldered.
"There we go again with the Olsen ego"
Adam smiled and gave him a pat.
"And where is Cole?"
"Oh Cole! Guess I'm in serious trouble" Lex said, drifting towards the school.
