Werewolf venom

Beaconsdale Highschool.

It was getting colder and darker and the leaves in front of the Beaconsdale Highschool was gradually falling. It was quiet becausr almost everyone was already asleep and there was also a little bit of fog in the air. There were random scorch marks seemingly left there by lightning strikes.

The still night was suddenly shrouded in a demonic presence as a humanoid figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The figure took about three meters tall and was completely shrouded in darkness with its eyes glowing with a pale cyan hue. It was as if its body was made out of shadows.

The demonic figure started to walk towards the school. With each step it took, the demonic presence surrounding the area seemed to get more dense. The figure stopped and looked down at the purple shards that were laying down on the ground. A smile appeared on the figure's face when it saw the shards on the ground. It raised one of its hands and all the shards floated up and landed in its palm.

The figure chuckled and the purple shards in its palm started to glow. The figure tightly grasped onto the purple glowing shards and started to absorb the power from them. The shards began to dim until they were completely colorless and then turned into dust. The figure threw the dust away and then started to dissipate and then vanished away as if it was never there.

The shards that the shadowy figure picked up were none other than the cover of Bryce's gem. Even thought it was just the cover, it still contained immense power as it was able to restrain the actual power of the gem. After losing all its power after it was absorbed by the shadowy figure, it immediately turned to fine dust.

"What is it?", Bryce asked.

Bryce noticed the surprised expression on Kyra's face and knew that she somehow had a clue as to what was happening to Jason.

"... it's werewolf venom", Kyra answered, her face dark and her voice filled with sadness. She knew that Jason was dying and his death was inevitable since there was no cure for werewolf venom. And seeing how far the venom had spread, she knew Jason had about an hour or two left.

Usually werewolf venom wasn't this much deadly as normal werewolf venom took between twenty-four hours to thirty hours to kill a vampire depending on how old the vampire was. Cashel's venom was only this deadly because of his primordial werewolf bloodline. It only takes an or two kill a vampire and seeing that the venom had almost reached Jason's heart, there was not much time left.

"Venom?! Werewolves are venomous?!", Bryce asked. He was quite surprised when he heard that.

"No! Our bites are only venomous to certain supernaturals; vampires included", Kyra explained.

"So what do we do now? How do we get it out?", Bryce asked, oblivious to the fact there was no cure.

Kyra's face darkened as she answered, "That's the problem! *sniff* There isn't a cure".

"What do you mean there's no cure?!", Bryce exclaimed.

Kyra didn't answer and kept her head down.

Bryce then noticed that Kyra was trying to keep her eyes from tearing up. He then remembered that Kyra was friends with Jason and that Katherine also said that she had a crush on him. Seeing that Kyra had already given up hope, it meant that there really wasn't any cure.

But it didn't hurt to try.

"𝑖𝑒𝑖𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡"

Bryce put his hand over the bite mark and casted a healing spell, but alas, it of no avail. The spell didn't work.

Bryce didn't give up. He decided to chanel the gem's power. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, they were brightly glowing blue.

"𝑖𝑒𝑖𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡"

Casted the spell again but it still didn't work.

Aside from being born a werewolf, a human can only be turned into a werewolf when they are bitten by a primordial werewolf or an alpha werewolf since 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 had stronger werewolf venom. But since any vampire can turn humans unlimited times, werewolf venom was meant to balance them out. Not just them but werewolf venom is lethal to any bloodsucking supernatural creature.

Bryce sighed when he noticed that the spell wasn't working even when channeling the gem. His eyes returned to normal and then he suddenly got an idea. He took out his phone and skimmed through his contacts. He immediately found the number he was looking for since he only had eight numbers saved on his phone currently.

–––––

Daniel was sitting on his bed and was practicing magic when he got a phone call. He picked up his phone that was beside him and saw that it was Bryce that was calling him. He wondered why Bryce would call him when their rooms were right beside each other.

"What is it?", Daniel asked as he picked up the call.

"Hey, Dan! I need you to find a spell for me!", Bryce said hastily.

"What spell?", Daniel asked. He knew it was important when he heard the hastiness in Bryce's voice.

"A healing spell!", Bryce said.

"I thought you already had a healing spell", Daniel asked as he knew that Bryce already knew a healing.

"Yes, but I need a different one. One that can heal a vampire bitten by a werewolf" Bryce said.

"... a what?", Daniel asked.

"A spell that can heal a vampire bitten by a werewolf", Bryce repeated.

"No I heard you. But why would you need a spell for that?", Daniel asked as he started flipping through the spell book in front of him.

"Cause that's what happened and someone might actually die because you ask too many questions", Bryce replied as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Die! Who's gonna die? Where are you?", Daniel asked.

"Jason. School gym", Bryce answered both questions.

"Who's Jason? And what are you doing at the school at this hour?", Daniel asked. It was already past midnight.

"Are you even looking for the spell?", Bryce asked. Daniel was asking too many questions.

"I am! Hold up, I didn't find it in my spell book so I'm going to check the basement", Daniel said. He had gone through the whole book but didn't find the spell or one similar. There were a few healing spell but not the one he was searching for.

Since the basement was filled with spell books and other books related to magic and other stuff, he'd surely find the spell or one similar.

"Hurry", Bryce said.

Daniel closed the spell book and got up from the bed. He left his bedroom and headed for the basement. He opened the door that led to the basement and walked down the stairs. Daniel looked at the shelves on the walls that were stacked with books, magic artifacts and other stuff.

Daniel walked to the center of the basement and casted a spell.

"𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑎"

Daniel casted a spell search. A spell to search for other spells by thinking of the use of the spell.

Instantly, many spell books flew out of the shelves and started to float around Daniel. The books opened to pages that had healing spells similar to the one he was trying to find.

Daniel checked all the opened pages but none of them said anything about healing a werewolf bite.

"Sorry Bryce, didn't find the spell you're looking for", Daniel said with a sigh as the spell books went back to the shelves.

Kyra heard what Daniel said through Bryce's phone since he had put it on speaker. She said, "I told you. There 𝑖𝑠 no cure".

Bryce was still not willing to give up

"Then ask Charles. He probably knows something that can help", Bryce said.

Daniel sighed, "Fine".

Daniel walked out of the basement and just happened to see Charles, leaving his study. He was wearing a black T-shirt and some white pajama pants with black polka dots.

"Charles", Daniel called as he walked towards him.

Charles looked at Daniel, "Daniel? What are you doing up? It's way past midnight and you have school in the morning".

Daniel didn't say anything. He just passed to phone to Charles. Charles took the phone and looked at the caller ID. His knitted together when he saw that it was Bryce.

"Where are you?", Charles asked.

"At the school gym", Bryce answered through the phone.

"What the hell are you doing at the school gym- What are you even doing at the school at this time. It's way past midnight. Did you forget that you have school in the morning or something? You better get your ass back...", Charles said.

"Can you do the nagging later? Someone's life is at stake", Bryce said, cutting Charles off.

"Whose?", Charles asked.

"Jason's", Bryce answered Charles.

"What? What happened?", Charles asked.

"He was bitten by a werewolf", Bryce replied.

"What?", Charles shouted. He knew about Jason and also what would happen if a vampire was bitten by a werewolf; or a primordial werewolf in this case.

"How long has it been since he was bitten?", Charles asked. He wanted to make sure that it wasn't too late.

"About forty minutes ago", Carter said. He had been squatting beside them for a while without either Bryce or Kyra noticing him.

Both Kyra and Bryce looked at Carter with a surprised expression on both of their faces.

"Good. That means we have more time... Was that Carter?", Halfway through what he was saying, he realized that the voice that answered belonged to Carter.

"Yes", Carter answered.

"What are you doing there? Does your father know you're there at this time...", Charles said.

"Do you know how to cure him or not?", Kyra asked, cutting Charles off.

"... snap his neck", Charles said.

"What?!", all three exclaimed.

"Snap his neck. He's a vampire, it won't be a permanent death. When he's temporarily dead, his heart will stop which will slow down the venom in his veins", Charles explained. "I'll be there right away".

Kyra and Bryce looked at each other and then nodded.

Kyra instantly brought her hands to Carter; who was hallucinating and mumbling something's head and snapped it, killing him. Carter's eyes went wide, witnessing Kyra kill her own brother, even though he knew it was permanent.

Charles hung up the phone and went to his room to change. He took out his phone and made another phone call.
