Not too far in the town of Charleston in a building belonging to one teacher. A young girl was happy and took her folder in her arms. She raced up the stairs and knocked on the door she didn't hear a sound. Her happy demeanor changed a little and she knocked again and again no answer.
'Dad. Won't you open up!? I have important things to show you!', she said aloud and exhaled.
She kicked at the door with a fear at the back of her mind that he might blurt out angrily. Still no answer, panicking she went to the backyard and took a stick. She hit the stick on the lock and pushed the door opened. A gruesome scene was awaiting her and she couldn't take in what she is seeing,thereby a scream escaped her lungs.

The students were murmuring amongst themselves and Max together with others found it hard to believe what the rumor was. Then the VC walked up to the stage. Taking a sharp exhale, he raised his hand as a decorum then the students obliged silencing their murmurs.
'We are sad to announce the passing away of one of our best teachers Prof Gellian. He was found dead in his room by his daughter this morning. The police and detectives are working hard to get the case solved and I will need you all to be in total cooperation. We will miss him alot. And we can't find anyone like him', VC said with some tears falling and he sniffed.
'What happened to him?', a student whispered
'Didnt you hear, he was murdered by those gangs?',
'Is he a gangster?',
'Who knows?',

'I can't believe he just died.', Sam said. He kept shaking his head. 'Something is wrong' he mused.
'We will find out in our way. Just try to get some brief at your dad's office', Max said patting Sam. He looked at Daryl who wore an expression he couldn't quite fathom then he looked at Luke who seem to be looking his way too with heavy eyeballs.

Hardy examined Mr Gellians body. He noticed some marks too like other bodies but this was way more different. It was not a biting pattern unlike others.
'Surely something sinister is in this town', he said as he turned the body and looked at the neck. He discovered it has claw marks.
'Its possible, the murderer slashed his neck with something that looks like a claw making him bled out', the doctor explained in the best way he could without sounding weird. Because he couldn't believe an actual claw was used to slash the body.
'Or he actually has the claw', Hardy thought and he looked at his wrist and found it was bruised. 'Am close ', he whispered and went out heading to the deceased house.

Entering the room which was the scene. Hardy looked at where his body was carried and searched the area well. He didn't see anything peculiar. He continued looking and eventually he looked under the cabinet and he saw something. He wore the gloves and took it up. Merely looking at it, he thought it was a tooth but when he brought it closer he was shocked to discover it was infact a Claw. 'Why would a killer wear claw,?' he thought. 'Is it to escape Fingerprint DNA?' Or does he actually has the claw in his hand? Many thoughts ran through his head. He didn't understand any, he wanted not to believe what he was thinking but what he was thinking was a silly thought.
He went and inspected a broken vase. 'He put up a little fight too', Hardy thought as he searched through the broken pieces for any clue. He stared at the wall and sighed.

Sam rushed in and spread the documents on the table for all to see.
Lifting a paper up, 'Surely he was killed by a werewolf', Thawn said shrugging his shoulder
'That been known. Why would a werewolf just kill a professor?,' Sam asked looking at Thawn for answers since it is as if it seems others have no idea about what he was talking about.
'Maybe he saw the werewolf true face', Luke said. And he looked at Thawn.'Will you kill a person if he sees you change from your form to human?, He asked clenching his fist looking at Thawn intently.
Thawn glanced at Luke and shook his head slowly and scoffed.
'What do you take me for?', Whereas this doesn't look like that. He was killed in his room. The werewolf doesn't care about his face or not. He purposely came to kill him. The better question is why?', Thawn said looking at Luke.
'Why? Max asked and sighed. 'We need to find out who it is. We don't want people dying everytime', he added. 'What could be the motive behind the murder?', Max mumbled
'We Will. But you can't protect everyone', Kado stated and both exchanged a glance.
'What do you mean Kado?', Luke asked with fury written over his face.
'You got to admit it. This thing we are doing, trying to right wrongs can sometimes complicate things and you can't save everyone', Kado said and folded his arms while Max heaves trying to keep his cool but Luke was rushing towards Kado who seemed ready for any attacks of some sort. Luke threw a punch but Kado dodged it and held his hand. Kado tried to yank Luke but before he could do so, he felt hand behind him and he was lifted.
'Why won't you keep your cool, wolf?', Thawn growled and yanked Kado who skidded across the room and knocked the wall.
'Its okay, Luke', He said and Luke calmed down but threw Kado eye daggers.
Very far away from them in a house a man could be seen with a bandage on his fingers. He removed the bandage and he wiped the blood. 'Damn it. The claw won't heal easily as it's not like flesh or bone'.
