Hunt with a surprise

The hunt has started, and the easiest thing to hunt would be rabbits. At the moment Alex, is sitting in a bush, patiently waiting for a rabbit to come by. the place he is observing, is something like heaven for rabbits, since it was a green area, with a lot of weeds that rabbits eat. He had been sitting there for a few hours now, but he knew, a hunter should never lose his patience.

His waiting finally bore fruit, since a whole pack of around 10 rabbits came in to eat in their 'heaven' soon to be 'hell'. Alex gave a huge, cruel grin, and shot his first arrow, that was filled with bloodlust. the arrow was right on mark, since the rabbit was sitting still. the other rabbits could feel the bloodlust coming from Alex, and ran away. Alex started to fire the remaining nine arrows, and managed to only get an extra two rabbits, before the rabbits disappeared into the dark forest again.

Alex could feel his bloodlust, and the grin he had, started to fade, while he though 'I have never felt this bloodlust before, is it because of my title?' He got up from the push, calmed his head, and through this whole ordeal in the back of his head, he went over to the rabbits, picked them up, and put them in his backpack.

He start to walk back towards the cave, when he hears some people speaking in the distance, of course he is human, so he has some curiosity. He walks towards where he hears the voices, and he sees 4 men, sitting in a open spot, in a circle around a camp fire.

"Why don't we just give up Rufus? It has been days since we last saw the wolf and it tracks ... " said an ugly looking middle-aged man. he was quite tall, around 190 cm, with a very muscular build. He had a massive two handed hammer he was leaning on, looking quite bored. " ... I haven't had a good fight for a long time dude" He continued.

He was talking to a handsome young man, who was around 180 cm tall, looking very lean. Alex kind of figured that he was the leader, since the big guy asked him the question.

"It is a demon wolf pup damnit! it's worth a lot of money, enough money so that we can live like kings for the rest of our lives!" Answered Rufus looking very annoyed.

"Yeah, but how do we find the wolf? It has hidden quite well!" onw of the other guys chimed in, he was a very normal looking middle-aged man, 175 cm tall, not fat, not skinny and he had a sword by his waist.

"Don't worry about that guys, the wolf has probably not eaten, or gotten anything to drink for a long time, at some point, it has to hunt, we will get it then" Answered Rufus, he looked like he had figured it all out.

To be honest, Alex had figured out what they talked about a long time ago. He could feel that he was starting to grin, and his bloodlust was starting to leak. He didn't want the hunters to notice him, so he ran back towards the cave, and calmed down.

When he came back to the cave, and before he went inside, he noticed that he couldn't get rid of his bloodlust, he was getting excited. What was he getting excited about? He was getting excited for the fight that was impossible to avoid. He wanted to KILL, but he knew he could not lose his calm, so he fought those thought back, and put them in the back of his head.

He walked into the cave, with a small smile, and slow and steady strides. The first he saw was Jasmine looking at him in fear. A thick bloodlust suddenly enveloped him when he walked in, it was Sara, she was looking quite angry. Sara saw that Alex walked in, and she recalled her bloodlust, and her face went back to normal.

'Alex? Is it you releasing this bloodlust? Please, recall it, you are scaring Jasmine, and I thought you were an enemy' she told him.

"How do I recall it? It is an annoying feeling, I just feel like killing!" Alex asked her, but she just looked at him, and thought 'this is some thick bloodlust, only those cursed demons that have lived for more than a 100 years should have bloodlust this thick'

'Alex, think clearly, try to relax' she said to him.

Alex thought he was calm already, but to be honest, he was not really calm. he was scared, was this his demon side talking? was he really becoming a demon? He just wanted to yell out. He was getting lost in that fear now, and Sara could feel that he was losing to the bloodlust. Sara was starting to release her bloodlust, she was ready to kill him, if he lost.

The only reason he didn't lose to the fear before, was because he was in action, he didn't have time to think of this bloodlust, since it only appeared with the rabbits a little, and then it disappeared. When he heard the hunters talking about the Sara and Jasmine, like Jasmine was some kind of pet. He got angry, because he felt a close bond to them, and also excited to get to fight.

The anger was the trigger for the bloodlust to manifest completely inside him, and he didn't know how to get rid of it. It was at this moment, he started to fear the bloodlust.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Alex could feel a little ball of hair, crawl on top of his lap, it snuggled in close to his stomach. Alex could feel the creature shake in fear, and he looked down. The little creature that was nestled into his lap, was Jasmine, and he could see a little tear in her eyes. Jasmine didn't want Alex to lose this fight.

As soon as Alex saw that little tear, he shot his head up in the air "AAAAAAAAAAAAH" He was not going to lose this fight. His cries ended a few seconds later, and the bloodlust dissipated, while Alex became unconscious.
