"Are you sure you want to do this?" Asked Marcus.
Ray took a deep breath, "Yes I am. I will become strong and fast as you right?"
Marcus nodded.
Ray felt the gazes of Lea and Julia focusing on him.
He turned to them.
"I have nothing to say if it's what you want. It will help our group greatly." Commented Julia.
Lean stayed silent, letting her thoughts in her mind.
Ray faced Marcus and nodded silently.
Marcus brown eyes changed golden and four sharp fangs grew.
He walked to ray, grabbing his arm and sinking his fangs into his flesh.
Sharp pain went through ray's body but he gritted his teeth, enduring it.
He knew that he was the weakest from them all, both witches had it made clear that they could only use their magic in emergencies. Marcus couldn't save him every single time, that's why he requested from him to turn him into a werewolf.
Ray felt a bit conflicted but still went through with it, he didn't want to become food for the bloodsuckers.
Marcus stepped back, turning back into his human form.
Ray stared blankly at the bite mark on his arm, "That's it?"
"Yes." answered Marcus amused.
The witches stared interested at Ray.
He stood there, moving his arm around.
Marcus started to frown, "Strange."
"What is strange?" Asked Ray while stretching his arm.
Marcus grabbed his arm again, staring at the bite mark with a deeper frown.
"The wound should have healed instantly." Said Marcus with worry.
"Well it isn't." Commented Ray.
"I can see that, that's why I said it is stran...." Marcus stopped speaking when he saw blood red veins appearing around the wound, spreading out quickly.
His eyes went wide in surprise.
Ray who noticed Marcus behavior looked at his arm and frowned too, he didn't feel anything.
The blood-red vines spread through ray's arm quickly, reaching his shoulder after one minute.
"Something is wrong, it isn't supposed to be like this." Said Marcus worryingly.
"What do you..." Ray didn't end his sentence because of the intense pain that went through his body the moment the veins reached his neck.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Ray screamed out in agony.
"What's wrong?" asked Lea in panic.
"I have no idea what is happening." Answered Marcus who watched Ray roll around on the floor while screaming and scratching his arm and neck.
The three had no idea what to do.
Blood started to come out from Ray's eyes, nose and ears.
"By the great chaos!" Shouted Lea who rushed to Ray.
Julia stopped her and shook her head.
Lea slapped her arm away, "He will die if we don't do nothing!" Shouted Lea agitated.
"We need to preserve our magic Lea!" Said Julia in a stern tone.
Lea bit her lower lips.
"AHHHHH! ARRRRRGHHHHHH!" Screamed Ray in agony while scratching his skin open.
"Oh my god..." Whispered Marcus. It was his first time turning someone into a werewolf but he knew from his own transformation how is supposed to be. He stood there watching Ray without being able to do anything.
Lea couldn't hold it anymore, rushing to Ray's side.
"LEA!" Shouted Julia angry.
Lea ignored her sister, runed came out from her body.
"Heal!"
One of the runes shone brightly, shooting inside Ray's body.
He stopped screaming for a moment, his body twitching continuously.
The veins that had almost spread through his whole body stopped spreading.
Lean sighed in delight., but it only lasted for a moment before Ray began to scream again.
What..." Said Lea shocked.
The veins continued to spread out again after a short pause.
"Double Healing, Triple Healing!" Shouted Lea
Five runes lit up, entering Ray's body one after another.
The same thing happened again. Ray's condition improved for a short moment before getting worse again.
"Greater Holy Healing!" Shouted Lea with determination.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU WILL USE UP ALL YOUR MAGIC!" Shouted Julia who started to panic now.
The remaining 23 runes swirling around Lea started to fuse together, forming a sole big rune that shone with holy light. It was trembling nonstop.
Beads of sweat appeared on Lea's forehead, she had difficulties controlling the rune.
Despite that she managed to let the rune enter Ray's body.
His body stopped twitching, a warm holy light came shone on his body.
The blood-red veins disappear like they were never there in the first place. His body healed completely, leaving an unconscious Ray lying on the floor.
Lea made a few weak steps back before collapsing exhausted on the floor herself.
Julia and Marcus rushed to her side.
"You exhausted all your magec....stupid sister." Julia's voice sounded harsh but she was caressing Lea's now pale face tenderly.
Lea smiled weakly.
Marcus was the first who felt it, a cold shudder went through his whole body, making his hair stand up. The two girls felt the same cold shudder going through their bodies.
Their head turned slowly around. Their eyes dilated.
Where Ray was supposed to lie on the floor stood an over two meters tall werewolf with blood-red fur. Its eyes were deep red too.
There was something different about him that Marcus noticed. The two front fangs were longer and sharper than normal werewolves.
Its deep red eyes stared at them for a moment before the werewolf vanished from its spot.
'So fast! Is that really Ray?' Thought Marcus in shock.
Julia had a complicated expression, she held Lea's hand, "Transfer!"
"Sis...." whispered Lea weakly.
"Hush, I will give you half of my magic...."
Marcus watched them, "I will look after Ray." He rushed out of the house trailing Ray's new smell.
Marcus eyes bulged out when he saw Ray standing beside the SUV.
A chill went through his spine. Ray was holding the dried up corpse of one of the dead man that ambushed them earlier the day.
He was greedily sucking out the blood. He threw the body to the side after je finished, picking up the last one.
Marcus only stood there, his mouth opened and eyes widened. He was too shocked. Ray's behaviour reminded him of something.
'Vampire! But that's impossible, he is a werewolf!'
Ray had noticed Marcus but his deep-red eyes had only cared for the last body. He lifted it up, biting it on the neck, starting to suck out the blood.
Marcus paled when he saw the corpse turn into a mummy after 15 seconds.
Ray threw the mummy away like the last one and howled to the sky.
*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR"
A wave of bloodlust assaulted Marcus, he put his hands in front of his face in shock.
The howl was long and powerful.
Marcus noticed how Ray's body started to transform back, his body had transformed back into his human one by the time he ended howling.
Ray collapsed on the ground, starting to snore.
Marcus gulped, it was the first time in his life he felt so much fear towards something.
"Should I kill him?"
