I saw the yellow glint of the wolves eyes in the woods and chased after it. It met me head on snarling and growling its claws scratched my chest as we tumbled through the forest. I wrapped my hand over its beastly muzzle and broke its neck dropping it to the ground I looked up and saw two more.
I was still too close to the city. I turned to run out towards the lake of course they thought I was running from them so they kept up eagerly.
At the lake there were three wolves already waiting. I stopped as they surrounded me and attacked at once. Fur and claws was all I saw as I threw two into the lake and snapped another's neck with ease. One wolf jumped on my back and clawed my shoulder. I somersaulted over dropping the wolf and smashing my foot into its neck as I snapped my shoulder back into place. The other wolf clawed my face blurring the vision on my left side. I ripped it in half out of anger and tried to regain my sight wiping the blood away with the base of my shirt. Two wet wolves howled before they charged again pouncing on top of me snarling its fangs I threw it off of me onto the other hearing it cry out in pain. One wolf slammed into the other and they fell back.
I ran further away from the city to another stream to wash myself off.
I had claw marks all over my body I just ripped my shirt off entirely and used it as a wash cloth to get rid of the blood. My body was healing but I felt like something was off. I looked around and realized it was too quiet.
From the corner of my eye I saw four glowing eyes ready to pounce. I rose to my feet and they attacked one after another. Growling and barking at me as I slammed them to the ground and broke ones back. Then two wolves charged me from the back, one bit into my shoulder. I screamed out in pain as its venom tore apart the skin and seeped into my body.
I reacted out of anger first flipping the wolf over my shoulder breaking its back to the ground.
Then fear, I was a dead man I attacked the wolf ripping its throat out with my hand. But as I looked up there were more. If I kill one two fill its place. How much more could I fight. I snarled my fangs at them but with my shoulder bleeding and the skin around it growing infected they practically laughed at me. The three of them charged at me but to my surprise I was being helped the second I took my eyes off the wolf on top of me to see who that was I was bit again. This time I didn't retaliate. I heard wolves crying and retreating as Chandler stood over me. He said something to me but I was to distracted looking at the werewolf bite on my leg. "Kurt what the hell is going on?" Chandler said again pulling me to my feet.
"I stopped running." I said in a dead tone staring at my shoulder turning a purple reddish color. "Now I'm dead."
"I'm not about to let you die, Kurt." He said dialing a number in his phone.
"Chandler have even seen what happens when we are bitten. Its not pretty. In fact you should stake me."
"Shut up," he hisses at me, "Rose I need your help," he said into the phone. I turned my back on him and just stared at the gruesome site.
I remembered Julian when he was bit, at first he was fine, then with in the first six hours it was like he had a cold getting the chills and only wanting to sleep. Soon he was coughing up blood and the dementia started. He fed on the entire village then threw it all up. By hour twelve he was rabid he attacked Emily and me, seeing things that weren't there. He was sweating and over heating then he lost control. The bite had tripled in size and he wasn't Julian anymore. He could have lived longer sure but after 24 hours he begged for death and I gave it to him.
I looked up at the moon and wondered where do I want to die.
"Kurt!" Chandler called me, "can you run or are we driving?"
I stared at him. "What do you want?" I hissed.
"I want to save you." Chandler said holding his hand out to me. I doubled over in pain and screamed. The werewolf venom stung everything in me, outsourcing from the bites it felt like I would die twice as fast.
Chandler caught me and helped me walk through the woods to the back of a strip mall to his car.
"What are you doing?" I croaked as he helped me to the back of his car.
"I'm saving you."
