Mark's view:
It is already 7:30 pm; the dinner was amazing. Man, mum and dad had lots to talk about. I just want to go home before the transformation. Mum must feel my eyes burn into her by now. Yes, I want to stay, but no, I don't want Isabella and her family to see my true self. We have just told them about the town, how the news stories weren't true about the people in this town and how everyone is normal human beings... Almost.
"Thank you for having us over but we have to head back home," mum says, smiling over at Isabella's family. For a woman of mum's age, she has no grey hairs, she looks young. Which sometimes could benefit her.
"Why not stay a little while longer?" Isabella's mum urges us.
"No thank you. I have some homework to do that's due tomorrow ma'am. I might also call it an early night tonight," I inform, faking a yawn and a stretch. As I stand up and smile at them, my brother gives me a weird look, one as if what I said wasn't to his liking.
He can stare all he likes, I don't care.
"Ok well come over anytime," Isabella's mum invites, a genuine smile on her face.
As we say goodbye, we shake their hands, walking down the pebble walkway and out of the house and make our way back to our own house.
"What a lovely family!" Mum exclaims as soon as we enter our house.
I nod and walk over to the lounge, sitting on the sofa, closing my eyes for a little while. I open my eyes, looking around and see my brother sitting across from me in his vampire form.
"When did you get here?" I ask.
"While you were sleeping," he replies.
"I wasn't asleep," I reply as I stand up, pacing up and down the room. My insides tingle as I feel myself changing. I get down on my knees, my head in my hands screeching as my fangs came out of my gums, my thirst for blood alive.
"I'll be back later," I say, racing out of the house and down the street, covering my face with my cloak.
No one must see me, I need blood.
My running down the streets leads me to the forest. I walk through the forest, a strong scent filling my senses, alluring me
What's that? human? Animal? Blood? Where's that scent coming from? Must have it!
A loud growl comes from my throat as I walk through the forest soon joined by Falcon and Josh who were both in the werewolf forms. Falcon in his werewolf form has purplish-black fur with purple lines throughout his fur, eyes purple just as they are in human form. Josh, on the other hand, in his werewolf form has blonde fur with white streaks and green eyes.
"I'm hungry," Falcon says, through a growl as his wide purple eyes look around the place as he races over to one of the nearby trees only to come back empty-teethed. He growls once more now agitated and impatient.
Man, I'm impatient too... Come on, where are the damn humans? They all wanted to come out through this forest before, why not today?
"I smell blood," I state, the fresh smell lingering to my taste buds, making my tummy rumble from hunger. I drop to my knees.
So hungry, so very hungry. It has been 2 days since I last fed and I can feel my body getting weaker and weaker as days pass... How doesn't my family not feed for a while? How do they have so much luck with humans and feeding?
"Tonight might be your lucky day," Josh spoke through his teeth as he scans the place keeping a sharp eye out for something to feed on.
"The adults always have luck, this is our turn now!" Falcon growls, letting out a loud howl, walking left and right as he dodges the upcoming trees.
----------------------------------------------------------
We were walking for what felt like forever.
"How long have we been hunting for?" Josh complains through his sharp teeth. "I want some fresh raw meat right about now."
"Me too," Falcon agrees.
"Be patient boys, one of you might have to carry me around in another hour's time if we don't find that trail. We've already been hunting for an hour," I inform, checking my watch.
"You'll be riding on Falcon's back this time," Josh says, beating Falcon as he opens his mouth to talk. "I already carried you that last time remember."
"All good," Falcon replies, his eyes fixed on the area in front of him, not budging an eye.
"Hey Einstein, are you even listening to us?" I hiss.
"Will you both shut up? I have my eye on something over in the distance so shove a cork in it or I will," Falcon threatens.
--------------------------------------------------------------
We were following the trail and scent for a little over 40 minutes when we stopped and hid behind two of the larger trees in the forest when we see a boy & girl.
Weird, not many walk at this time of night not even humans.
The girl looks like she was struggling against the boy. Something's off... very off.
I whisper to both Josh and falcon, "I don't want the girl, I want that man. He has fresh blood and great meat." My stomach rumbles louder, begging to be fed.
I take a good look at the girl, squinting my eyes, focusing on my vision and to my surprise it is Isabella.
What the hell is she doing here? Why didn't she tell me she wanted to go for a walk especially at a place like THIS? Who is that man with her?
"She isn't human," Josh whispers harshly as if reading my thoughts.
"What? Are you reading my mind or something? Thought werewolves don't read minds. And What the hell do you mean Josh? You didn't like her from day one," I hiss, getting real tired of his attitude, especially around Isabella.
"There's a lot you don't know about me. But yes she's a hybrid of some sort, her teeth are human. We need to get to know her. Who her parents are, everything!" Josh demands, his tone forceful.
"Calm your lil puppies down Joshy boy. There's no way she's a hybrid... Hybrids haven't existed for over one thousand year's so how can you be sure?" I demand.
"I'm bloody calm, calmer than you," Josh begins. "Look at her, even she doesn't know. She thinks she's full human but she isn't. Only a hybrid can ever be of such beauty. Face it Mark. Use your bloody brain numbskull," Josh growls.
"BOTH of you shut it," Falcon hisses once more.
I peak from behind the tree covering my face with my cloak seeing Isabella pushing the man away or at least knee him where it hurts. I keep my face covered as I run over to a nearby tree which wasn't as big as the other tree was but hid me well, so I peer again now closer to Isabella and man. I then use my speed to run dragging my claws along his stomach then placing my hand on his head twisting his head disjointing it from his spine killing him instantly as I drag the body with me while running off before Isabella could see or even recognize me. I lay the man's body against the tree sitting upright feeding off his blood with Falcon & Josh feeding off his organs filling our stomachs as Josh then urges us that we needed to go before we are caught out here in our forms.
"I'll meet you boys outside," I say as I use my super speed exiting the forest in no longer than a minute standing there waiting for Falcon & Josh to come out of the forest. Now the waiting game.
--------------------------------------------------
As I wait I stand and pace back and forth for about 15 minutes. I'm ready to ditch these bastards if they do not turn up in 5 minutes.
I'm getting quite sick of having to wait for them each time, they take too long.
As I pace I feel something at my ankle nibbling at it. Just as I'm about ready to stomp on whatever it is I see it's only Falcon and his silly ways to let me know they were there.
"I nearly stomped on your head you know," I said laughing.
"And maybe I'll eat you if you did," Falcon jokes.
"Ok love birds let's go," Josh spoke flat out as he walked.
"Wanna repeat that?" Falcon threatened.
"Nope," Josh said running off.
"GET HIM!" I yell, laughing as Falcon and I run after him.
"I better head home boys, nice to see you both again," I state as I use my running ability to head home in no longer than 2 minutes. No one is home so I have the house to myself but I'm so tired so I might get some sleep.
As I walk up the stairs, I notice the staircase seems to be a lot bigger than it was yesterday. Was it always this way or am I just too tired?
After finally reaching the top of the stairs, I head into my room not bothering to change but staying as I am, laying down in my coffin staring at the ceiling until I fall asleep.
