William woke up to his phones alarm ringing in his ear with an irritating buzzer sound. He stretched his hand out of the blanket and reached slowly towards his phone. He finally got a hold of it and moved his hand back into the blanket. He turned it off and arose from his sleep stretching and yawning. He woke up at six o'clock and pulled the blankets slowly away from his body and he moved sluggishly to the floor. He had started working out earlier this year as Keisha wanted him to become fit and so he had to honour her request or feel her wrath full force. She could be a handle full at times and also be a darling. He got down, did his push ups and finish the rest of her workout routine and went to take his bath. When he got out his mom just woke and went down to prepare breakfast for the family. William walked down calmly with no need to rush at all because he was earlier than yesterday by a long way out. Janet wasn't in the mood to to anything serious so he had a bowl of cereal for breakfast and didn't need to make lunch today as the school would provide today. He walked out with his earpiece in his ears and took out his bike. He made sure his backpack was secure and rode out listening to his tunes when a message came in. It was from Keisha and it said, get to school soon, whatever that meant but he took it seriously and picked up the pace zooming from street to street to get to school quickly. He parked his bike and walked to the front of school to see Keisha standing with an annoyed look on her face.
"What's up" Will asked as he walked up the stair to meet her.
"This" she replied annoyed as she held out her phone in his face to see the picture.
"What about two people holding their hands?" He asked confused. She then zoomed out and showed him the complete picture and it was she and Will holding hands yesterday.
"Wow, how'd you get it?"
"I didn't get it, Amanda did and it's been circulating. It's the trending topic among all the gossip groups" she said with a worried face.
"Ehh, so what if they find out we're dating, there's nothing wrong with it"
"Well you know Amanda she wants to know how it started, if we've missed and all those other stuff and she'll be nosy in our business"
"You know that doesn't bother me"
"Are you forgetting that she said that she's going to make you pay for what you did yesterday so you better watch your back" Keisha advised.
"Well let's handle this dating stuff first and then if she finds a way to try and disgrace me, let's just say it'll be the end of her high held reputation"
"You're right, Keisha said with a smile on her face.
Just then, a Will's phone beeped as a video came in and it was a video of Amanda talking about the picture. She talked about why they were holding hands on their walk and if this meant they were together. She then vowed to uncover the truth and get the details for followers. Right then Will's demeanor changed as he now got angry. He was pissed after the video and stormed through the hallway looking for Amanda and then he saw Connor getting bullied. It was a bad day to be bullying Connor right now as William was really pissed. He walked up to the boys pushing Connor around and pushed two of them away hitting the third boy in front.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's your problem dude, this doesn't concern you so carry you and your little girl friend and get" The one that seemed to be the leader of the bullies threatened.
"And what if I don't you piece of shit" William lashed back.
"It seems we've got a fighter here" He said as he and his boys got ready to engage a steaming William.
Right then a teacher opened a class door and stumbled upon the scene in front of him.
"Is there a problem fellas?" The teacher asked.
"No problem sir" they chorused in unison.
"Good, now hurry along to your classes" he said before walking away.
"You're lucky the teacher came in and saved you or you'll be dead"
"Oh please save me the talk, you guys would be rolling on the floor before you can even think of hitting me"
"Okay, don't worry we'll sort you out really soon once we're done milking your friend"
"Try me" Will said wig an arrogant smile.
The two stared at eachother for a while before departing. Once they left, Connor snapped.
"Why'd you have to come in. You've just made things worse. Thanks for nothing" Connor said angrily as he stormed off.
"Connor, Connor wait let's-" William cried as he walked after him but Keisha held him back. She shook her head signalling him to stay back.
"I've managed to make things worse for him, how am I going to smoothen things out to him and handle that Amanda of a thing" William lamented.
"Don't worry you'll find a way. In the meantime let's get ready for classic Keisha said pulling him to his locker.
************************************
Will sat down for lunch as Brian and Keisha flocked in. Brian had an angrily look on his face as he sat down.
"What's the problem bruv?" Will asked.
"Man, you didn't have to come save Connor like that. He feels like a baby now like we don't trust him to handle it" Brian said.
"I'm sorry men you know that video of Amanda that has been circulating around and it made me mad and when I saw the boys I poured out my anger on them" William explained.
"I get how you feel bruv but now he's distancing himself more and I don't know what to do"
"No problem, we'll get through this" Keisha added.
That gave them some consolation but before they could cherish the moment, the devil appeared.
"Hello guys, how ya doing?" Amanda said as he dumped herself on the last seat available. She was greeted with an unwelcome look on all their faces.
"What have you come to" William said in a cold tone as a red flag that she should back off.
"Well I'm just here to give you a last chance to tell me or the truth or leg me find out the hard way and keep on posting recordings and photos about you"
"Take your best shot, we're not scared of you" Keisha lashed back.
"Oh I see, you're defending this time"
"Shut up and leave" Brian stated in a dark and calm tone that frieghtened everyone.
Amanda was shocked at what he had said and when she looked at the face and realized it was Brian, she immediately left their table.
"Thanks bruv" William said with gratitude.
"Don't mention it. I hate people like her, they think the world revolves around them"
"I, we need to put them in their place"
"Yh"
"But how comes everyone fears you Rammstone?" Keisha asked.
"Well it happened two years ago. I was getting bullied by a bunch of rascals and I just recently transformed to a wolf and I didn't have control over my wolf strength. They got into a corner and wanted to beat the crap out of me. I took a stand against than and beat them half dead. Blood flowed all over the schools hallway and it dripped from my hands. I ended up getting suspended for an entire term which I was lucky to get away with. Those boys never returned here and one had to relocate to get the medical treatment needed for him to recover so I guess that gave me the reputation of a hot headed beating machine so I was respected naturally. At first people were scared to come around me and my friends gave me some distance but overtime I was accepted back into the social network and after I became one of the school's leading athletes, it cemented the respect that I got from everyone" Brian narrated as Keisha and William had never heard of that before.
"No wonder you're respected by everyone and I guess that's why you were dubbed at Rammstone" William joked which lightened up the serious mood.
That story really explains why Brian is almost untouchable by anyone within the school walls but it was at an alarming cost but no matter, it happened in the past.
************************************
Was schooled closed, Connor left before any of them and the three trailed as well as Amanda who was quickly noticed by Will and notified the others. They acted normally and didn't give Amanda anything to sink her teeth into and so she left. While they walked, Will got a message from his mom telling him to come back home quickly. One of their close family friends came to visit and he needed to be around to greet them. He had to turn around and head home but Keisha promised to keep him updated as they hugged and he departed.
They got home to find out that Connor had already left and was in the forest with Kent. Keisha and Brian did what they needed to do and went on the hunt for that strange scent.
Knockout and Brent continued to look for the scent found on the bloodless carcass and Knockout picked up a new lead. They trailed for two kilometres as they moved with caution and silence through the woods. They didn't know who or what it lead to so they needed to be careful. They hid within the little darkness the trees provided from their shadows and settled into some bushes and watched a hunt going down. A herd of roe deer was being chased by human beings that moved at wolf speed and they took it down. Rather than them cutting it into chunks, they sunk their teeth into it and, sucked, it's blood. There could only be one explanation for this, vampires had returned to the forest. The two vampires did not sense or see the wolves as they were as silent as ever and they hadn't seen wolves in a long time.
"Is it what I think it is?" Brent asked scared with his Irish accent.
"I, they're vampires. I never though that a time would come when I have to face them again"
"Again? You mean you've fought vampires before?"
"I, I'm the only person in the pack that has fought vampires before when they plagued this forest. I was in in my early teen years when I transformed and joined the pack in fighting against them" She explained to her son.
"Wow, there are a lot of things I don't know about you mom"
"Yh, but I'm happy you're learning more everyday" she assured him.
"So what do we do now?"
"Well now, we chase those scum bags away and notify the others. We can't let them enjoy themselves now can we?"
"No mom"
"That's good, now charge with me" Miranda exclaimed as she propelled herself out of the bushes and at the two vampires dining on the deer.
Brent was shocked and gazed upon the bravery his mother showed and quickly followed her in her charge.
The two vampires were shocked that wolves had trailed them. One day by the carcass in shock and couldn't move until the other pulled her away from Miranda's claws that would have torn her apart but they forgot about the second wolf, Brent, who jumped in the air and ripped the girl out of the others grasp and ferociously attacked her. He scratched and growled as he tried to bite down but was punched away. The two hissed at the snarling wolves and began to run for their dear lives leading to a chase. Brent howled notifying the others that their turf had been breached and they needed reinforcements. They quickly got howls in reply as the pack zeroed in on their position as they chased the fleeing vampires.
Brent pulled ahead of his mother by a little bit as he was angered after getting punched in the face really hard. The vampires were fast but not able to pull away quickly enough as Miranda tackled the male who seemed experienced in tackling wolves and as he rolled, she recognised his face. He was a bit shaken but got down to slapping him into a tree and clamping down on his leg as her teeth sunk into his flesh and threw him at the female vampire. The two stumbled and rolled down a decent into a stream. With danger ever present, they quickly got to their feet and started to run again as now more wolves started to flock in as Brian and Keisha were the first to trickle in and provide support. Knowing that they'd be out runner they took to the trees as they knew wolves couldn't get up there but were hit with a big surprised as Connor came flying in after running at his top speed and leaped into the air going over the other wolves and tree branches and clamped down on the female vampire, trying to keep a hold on her. He landed on the ground with her shoulder in his mouth as he scratched and bit down in an attempt to kill her. She fought valiantly as they rolled through the forest on the grass as she landed some punches and scratches but it wasn't enough as Connor angled his head to the right side and got a good grip on her head with his molars and premolars as he then pulled violently and he used his front paws to push back her shoulders and ripped her head clean of from her shoulders and black blood sprayed on his under belly, face and back. He shoke of the blood with her head in his mouth and then he spat it out and joined the others chasing the male vampire through the forest. Soon, Linda, Ethan, Mary and Eric joined the chase as they hunted him down through the forest and were close to bringing him down right at the end but he was lucky that a cliff was there. and he dropped down holding on to some rocks and hid from them.
"Do you see him?" Eric asked.
"No sir" Kent replied.
"Brian, Keisha, go down there and check for his body once you're done, randevu with us back at the house"Eric commanded. The nodded and moved around the cliff to go down and loom for his body. The male was happy that the wolves were retreating and he could live to see another day but the same couldn't be said for the girl he was with as she was now dead. Once they left he got up and proceeded to the mountains situated in the forest to give the heads up to the rest of his coven.
The wolves gathered around the body and after seeing the head and fangs that were shown as she died screaming, they all knew that those people weren't ordinary but their arch nemesis had returned. Vampires were now added to the mix of protecting their land from other wolves and would make tasking for the pack to keep up with. They took the head back for evidence as they had a meeting organized to debate on the event that had just unfolded before them and Miranda was going to play a crucial role in all of this.
