Chapter 5

Serious! Why do I write these things?! (/^\)

Derek woke up early that morning. He needed to sort things out with the coach. As soon as he left the house, he was already getting into his car. As much as he was a werewolf, he hated having to make an effort.

The way he was going was very smooth and normal. That's what Derek thought, until he smelled a familiar scent in his nostrils. It could be as many years old as it was, but he would recognize that scent anywhere.

It was Will. But what was he doing there?

Derek got out of the car and followed that scent into the forest. He was too confused. Why was Will there?

As he approached the scene, he saw a macabre scene that made all his blood run cold. Will was unconscious as he levitated over a magic circle drawn on the ground. There were ritual candles scattered around the circle and a light emitted from Will' body and entered the circle.

The first thing that crossed Derek's mind, and that's what made him hesitate, was that the demons were taking Will' soul. Demons were the worst races. No matter how peaceful and camouflaged in society they were, no other supernatural being dared get into a fight with them.

They were terribly strong. And they didn't even use their forces, because even before their enemies attacked, they already stole the poor guy's soul and sent him to the underworld.

Still fearful, Derek decided to save Will. That sounded crazy, in fact, it was pure madness, but he wasn't going to abandon the little human.

After all, a great deal of blame was his for sending the boy away when the barriers were going to be activated. Surely Will didn't make it out in time.

Sneaking through the trees, Garou took in the whole situation. The only way to stop that ritual was to get Will out of it.

In one quick move, he ran and leapt over the circle and grabbed the human's body in midair. As soon as he landed on the ground, he ran desperately to his car.

He would go home and tell his mother what was going on, not least because no supernatural being could enter the Garous property when the barrier was active. But those demons were just there and on top of that, doing a ritual.

Once he got home, Derek caught the attention of everyone in the room. His mother got up in a hurry already imagining the worst that her son could have done to that poor human.

After the whole story was explained, Talia decided that they should talk to Sheriff Miller and tell her son what happened and ask for action regarding the demons' invasion of werewolf territory.

...

Will woke up feeling strange. But once that dream disturbed him. He wasn't sure what it was but he hated having to feel the sensations he felt when he dreamed of it.

For when that happened, Will felt his soul leaving his body. It was like he was submerged in a dark ocean and feeling completely empty.

Other than that some quick flashbacks appeared in this dream. As if they were forgotten memories or simply something that happened in another life. But what Will could tell is that whenever he woke up, he felt a drastic change in his being. He felt himself entering the world of darkness.

The overwhelming urge to kill and destroy the human race was always present in his thoughts, and he felt stronger. He didn't feel human, but he didn't know what he was.

Still with blurry vision trying to get used to the ambient light, Will could still hear the voice that always appeared in his dream: "You need to wake up.... Your people need you.... Be the king you were born to be.... Remember us, your people, remember your old life... Please.... Lord Dem..." -And that's how your dreams always ended. He couldn't hear the last word. And he didn't understand that message either.

I mean…in a way he understood. For the flashbacks in his head showed him a boy with horns and huge black wings flying through the sky of a magnificent kingdom, and this boy was acclaimed by all and flew towards a throne.

But before he could arrive, there was an explosion in the sky, opening a portal and sucking the boy inside, causing him to leave the prince's crown behind and his demonic features to dissolve from his body.

But what did this have to do with Will? Why did he have that information in his dreams along with someone else's past memory?

The human even entertained the idea of him being the messenger between these two worlds and having to go find the boy he saw in his dream and warn him about what the girl was saying in his mind, but gave up on that when he went to the psychologist and found that he had schizophrenia.

Maybe that was the logical explanation Will so badly needed. He was often called crazy because he could see some strange creatures in their world and even see wings and horns on some humans. But anyway, the mere thought of suffering psychological problems made him uneasy.

Upon getting his vision back, Will realized that there were people around him watching him. But they weren't just any people, they were Derek's mother, Derek's sister and… Derek himself?! What was he doing there? Or rather, how had he ended up there? What had happened?

Will was visibly stunned, so Derek approached him and lightly touched his shoulder. The human looked at him and the world seemed to stop around them. Eye to eye. Face to face. It was as if there was a connection that linked the two and kept them from looking away.

It was then that Talia Garou cleared her throat, drawing their attention, causing Derek to quickly let go of the human's shoulder and look away.

Derek, even a little embarrassed, looked back at Will. He kept looking into her eyes again, looking for that strange connection he felt, but all he noticed was the emptiness seizing the boy's eyes.

There was no more glow, it looked like he was in a trance. To confirm his hypothesis, he passed his hand in front of the boy's eyes, but there was no reaction. He and his mother looked at each other and turned to little Will.

The boy closed his eyes in slow motion. As soon as he opened them, his face took on an expression of confusion. He looked around and then fixed his eyes on Derek in front of him.

-Who are you? Who am I? _was what came out of his mouth....
