Chapter Twenty-Two: Showdown

I was mortified at what I had done, I was covered in blood and ripped clothes. My face was covered, my hands were covered, and I didn't have a single scratch on me. I began to have a panic attack I yelled to Bridgette "Please help me!" I scream loud as I possibly can.

"Bridgette, please!" I yell again.

"Riley.. I can't.. you're an animal.." she says while shaking in fear.

"Kat, please help me" I say.

Kat comes over and helps me walk back to the boat and clean up. She was scared at what I had done but she knew I had no idea what I was doing, family helps family. Dev knocks on the door while I'm in the bath tub. I tell him to come in.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asks.

"I'm not sure, I didn't even know I was a Werewolf. What the hell do I do?" I ask.

"I've been there dude, let me tell you it is not easy but you can learn to control it." He explains to me.

"How?"

"Well, you need to turn more often and turn for longer." He says.

"And why the hell would I take advice from you? You betrayed me, I called you my brother." I tell him. Dev gets up and leaves.

It's about night time now, and to be honest I miss my cabin and my land. The place was beautiful. Instead I'm in the Vampire underground, once again. I hate it here. I missed being human but instead I'm something else. Maybe I can use this against Clovis, if I hold off on the Wolf's Bane Cure until after I deal with him I could use this curse. It's weird being a Werewolf, I have grown my hair on my body, a thicker beard, and I can smell and hear way better than the average dumb ass. I walk down from the bathroom while drying my hair and no one is in the castle. No maids, no butlers, Kat, Dev, or Bridgette. I'm the only person in the entire castle. All 15 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, or blood storage. I walk into the Great Hall where I've given speeches and have killed before. I open the two front doors and Clovis, Revan, and Ezra to my surprise have killed the servants and maids, stacked the bodies and held Bridgette and Dev with a stake to their hearts

"Good evening, Riley!" Clovis yells.

I put my shirt on and roll up my sleeves.

"We have to stop meeting like this, I'm tired of this." I say.

"Some of my spies have informed me that you are freshly human, is that true Dawn Bringer?" He asks.

I grin and get pissed off. My clothes rip, I grow hair, my eyes glisten to a faint red color.

"What?! Thi-.. This is impossible.... How?!" Clovis screams. He throws Bridgette on her back and gets ready to stake her and I tackle him to the ground, I'm doing so I kill the guy holding Dev, freeing him. I pick Clovis up by the throat snarling and rip his arms off one by one and then his legs. The issue is that he will heal, but I have him crippled temporarily. Dev and Bridgette killed his lap dogs but Ezra and Revan escaped.

I return to being a human and it is one hundred times more painful than transforming into a Werewolf. Clovis is on the ground behind me running his mouth about how 'I will pay for laying my disgusting hands on him' I turn to Bridgette "Are you alright?" I ask her.

"Yeah I'm okay, the baby is hurting me though." She says. Dev walks up wiping blood from his mouth "How the hell is Ezra alive? Riley tore him to pieces out of rage."

"I don't know, let's ask the Ancient Dipshit that's attempting to crawl away with no arms and legs." I say.

"How dare you address me in such an insulting matter, you sniveling brat!" He screams as I kick him in the face knocking him out.

"Well Riley, at least you now know what his weakness is, Werewolves." Dev says as he puts his arm on my shoulder.

"Get the hell off me, you two have a lot of explaining to do. Especially you 'Brother' you knew she was mine. I push him. And I look at Bridgette, and why would you do this to me?!" I scream.

"Riley, you left! What was I supposed to do,you left! What was I supposed to do?!" She exclaims with tears.

"Whatever, that is no excuse to betray me." I say.
