As we park the car, we all take deep breaths before stepping out and making our way toward the field. Shawn stands in the middle with four other people and five other wolves. Leo is smirking next to Shawn. Pops was right. As we stop in front of them Shawn speaks, "I was beginning to think you wouldn't come. Glad you did."
"Shut up and tell us what you want," Pops tells him.
"I want my son to join me. But that will never happen after his mother gave him to you nitwits," Shawn glares at Pops and Dad. "Now I want you all to realize that no matter what. I am still the father. You can't change that."
"You are no father," I state. "Even if you did raise me. I would've hated you just as much as I do now."
"And why is that? Is it because I got rid of Sarah?" I just glare at him.
"You killed her."
"I loved her!" He's angry now. "I was going to keep you. She was willing to just give you away to those morons."
"You're crazy-" Suddenly Kayla lets out a scream and we all look where she's looking. A bobcat and a human lay motionless in the grass behind Shawn and his goons. Son of a bitch.
"Those are my parents, you fucking psycho!" Bree and Dani stop Kayla from starting the fight while Shawn ignores her. Breath. Don't start anything yet.
"And you don't understand. I loved you and Sarah. We could have helped you train. Know how to use your abilities. We could've been a family.
"I have a family," I look at the people around me. These are my family, Caleb and Ms. James are my family. "You're nowhere near family."
"I'm the only family you have."
"You're pathetic." Suddenly he attacks me and everyone starts fighting. I guess he can't take being called pathetic. As the humans stay human, all of us who can change, do as soon as we can. I change into a dragon to fight as Shawn does.
Shawn is the wolf. Same eyes and scars from our first fight. This time I won't let him beat me. As he swipes at me, I dodge and bite at him, barely catching his side as he maneuvers around me. We bite and scratch at each other a few more times before I decide to change into a wolf, catching him off guard so I can get my teeth into his back. The metallic taste of his blood fills my mouth and I fight the urge to let go and rub it away from my taste buds.
He whines and twists around, trying to get me away from him as I dig my claws into him and keep my jaw tight. After a few seconds, he gets me away and goes for my leg. "Dads!" Olivia yells as they all fight Shawn's goons. Dad turns but continues fighting, as does Pops. "I need to tell you guys!" Bree turns as Olivia yells. "I'm gay! And Bree is my girlfriend and I love her!"
"Is now the time for this!?" Kayla yells over everyone as we all fight.
"I had to say it!" Olivia retorts.
"Someone get those people away!" Riley yells as a crowd forms at the edge of the field.
I manage to latch my jaw onto Shawn's neck before throwing him across the field and running to the crowd. I try to motion for them to back up as Shawn stumbles. But they don't listen so I huff and try growling. I snap slightly a few feet away, causing them to take a few steps back. I nod to them and motion again.
This time they listen as pounding steps come running towards me. To my surprise, Shawn runs past me and toward a little boy. He can't be older than Caleb. I quickly interfere with Shawn and the crowd gasps with some screams as I bite and claw at Shawn before standing between him and the crowd.
He lunges toward me and I meet him halfway as we go through the same biting and scratching process as before. I push him back to the field where Bree knocks out the wolf she's fighting. Shawn digs his teeth into my leg as I claw at him. I whimper and push away from him. I ignore the pain as blood soaks my fur, and bite him again as Dad and Lizzy take down who they were fighting. By the time we've stopped trying to kill each other for a few seconds, we're both nearly, completely covered in blood. I can smell the scents mixing together as our breathing is heavy. My friends help each other fight as the crowd of people watch. The news stations are here and the police are trying to keep the crowd back as they can't do anything to stop us. Everyone's confused.
Shawn snaps at me again and I jump back with a growl. We lunge at each other and I change back to a dragon to swipe him away. He hits the ground with a thud and a whimper. I change back to the wolf again as I go toward him.
He weakly tries to bite at me as I get closer but I growl and as he sinks his sharp teeth into my shoulder, I bite the back of his neck again. The same place as I already had, causing him to writhe in pain as the scent of blood fills my nose and the taste overthrows my mouth. I tighten my jaw and his heart slows. After a moment I feel Shawn's body go completely limp.
Holy shit. I just killed him!! What the hell!? That's not what I wanted!!! I wasn't going to kill him! How did I kill him!? I panic and look around. Almost all of Shawn's goons are knocked out. The last one is knocked out by Pops and Dani as they look around. Leo lays knocked out by Kayla.
Dani, Pops, Bree, and Lizzy are looking around. Dad, Kayla, Olivia, Riley, and Jack are laying in the grass either passed out or close to it. We all run to them but as I get only a few feet away from Olivia, my legs give out and I manage to change back to human before everything goes dark. "Travis! Olivia!" Pops and Lizzy are the last voices I hear as everyone panics.
