Chapter 3 - Abel's Death

The evening around 8:30 pm.

Abel has finally left Perry's place after his parents have returned from work as he begins to walk his way home. Right after making it out of the street, Jason begin to walk home while humming along the way but just then, Abel felt like he is been followed as he turned around only to discover that there was no one on the path that lead home.

"I must have been imagining things" said Abel as he continues with his walk but this time around he begins to increase his pace.

Just taking twenty steps, and the feeling of being watched was there and left with no choice, Abel began to run for it and this time around he could see something running in the distance and since it was dark, he could not tell what it was but he knew that he has to run for it else his life would be in danger.

Hardly making it this far, Abel was struck by whatever was chasing after him and he was sent flying to the side.

Struggling to stand on his feet and it was only then that he was able to tell what it was that has been chasing after him.

There it was a 5.4ft tall black wolf-like monster with red eyes staring at him. While groaning.

"What is that" said the panicked Abel as he turned away and started running but before he could run that far, he suddenly felt pain in his leg and he fell on the ground while yelling in pain as he looked at his severed leg.

"Please don't kill me" cried Abel as he crawl away from the monster.

Like watching its prey struggling to survive, the monster was just staring at Abel before clawing his other leg out and Abel let out another cry of agony.

This time around, Jason could not even say a word as he just lay there watching his life slip away but the monster doesn't seem to be the time that would just sit around and watch its food get cold. It moves closer to him while baring its fang at him ready to devour him but before the monster could think of making a move on him, a shadow came out of nowhere and collide with the monster as they move a little distance before separating and stood opposite each other.

Staring at the figure that has saved him from the fangs of the monster, Abel was shocked to see that the one that just saved him was a human and was wondering how can a human match up with the strength of the beast and that was until he heard him speak up.

"I have been wondering how come there was so much slaughter in town but it never occurred to me that it would be the handy work of a wild dog" the man said as he stare at the monster in anger.

"wait a minute, why does that voice sound so familiar" said Abel inwardly.

Instead of fighting back, the monster let out a groan before turning around and running away, watching the monster run away, the man went back to check the body only for him to see that the monster's prey was one of his students.

"Mr. McCray what are you doing here at a time like this" asked Abel in surprise as he look at their new history teacher.

"I was just making my way home when I heard you scream so I decided to check it out" reply Mr. McCray.

And seeing that Abel was about to speak up again, Mr. McCray wave his hand as he said.

"Save yours all the stress, you don't have enough strength life" he said as he begin to analyze Abel's condition before speaking up.

"boy your condition is really bad and I don't think you will be able to make it before we get to the hospital".

"so I am going to die just like that" said Abel with a sigh before turning his gaze at the sky.

"well, not really, there is a way for you to continue living but not as human instead as a vampire" suggests Mr. McCray.

"How am I supposed to turn to one" said Abel with a surprised look on his face.

"since you already have a foot in the grave, it would be better if you just turn to one of those undead creatures by drinking my blood" reply Mr. McCray as he pulls his arm out.

There was a little silence between the two Mr. McCray speak up.

"You don't have enough time before so you better decide now".

"If there is any way that you can save me, please do sir" replied Abel with watering eyes.

Taking a step forward before biting a wound in his arm and placing it on Abel's mouth.

"Drink up".

Not hesitating, Abel hurriedly hold on to the hand before gulping the blood and after some time, he fell lifeless on the ground dead.

After Abel's death, Mr. McCray took his body and the severe legs and made sure there was no sign of fighting in the place.

"He should be evolving in an hour" he mutters as he makes his way out of the place.

Meanwhile not far from where the slaughter has occurred stood a young man who was bare naked as he stare at the scene with an angry look on his face while his teeth were been gritted together.

"What a fool I am to think that I am the only predator in this town. And now that he has shown himself, I don't think it would be easy for me to roam this place freely" said the young man with grit teeth.

Running through the shadow of the night, Mr. McCray makes his way to a tower where he quickly place Abel on a casket before closing it and he left to do his thing.
