Chapter 11: Our little secret

There where four guys standing above Helens beaten up body, she felt weak and had bruises all over her body but she was now powerless to fight back, one of the guys pulled her up and held her and another undressed her while the other two unbuckled they're belts.

Such a young beauty, I can't waist to taste her said one of the guys

I bet she's a virgin too, those ones are so tight and sweet said another.

"Please" she said weakly, "don't do this" she begged but the man holding her still covered her mouth, shut up bitch, your our slut for today so the only thing your mouth should be doing is sucking dick.

They bent her over, tears rolled down from her eyes, "no please!, please don't do this!!" she begged, scream all you want bitch we casted a barrier that blocks all sound from leaking out and we also casted an illusion spell so no one will know there's an alley here.

haha just give up and I promise you'll enjoy it, hahahaha! they laughed at the thought of what was to come.

no! no! no please! somebody help me!! she yelled but no one came, her desperate please were all in vain, just when they where about to do the deed they heard footsteps walking towards them, they turned around and saw a figure with a bag hanging from his shoulders.

What the hell, did he hear her?

hey how did you find us they asked

...( mumbling)

huh? who are you

...( more mumbling )

is he deaf or dumb or something

it doesn't matter, he's seen us so he has to die

hey don't cast any spells or the barrier will break

I know the man said zipping his pants up and pulling out a knife, the figure was still standing there, slouched forward and drooling, mumbling words that couldn't be heard or comprehended.

The man rushed forward and tackled the figure stabbing him in the stomach, they both fell to the floor and the man continued to stab the person eleven more times till he stopped moving.

He's dead, let's get back to what we where doing

uhh hey he's back up

huh?

Turning around he saw a set of sharp teeth, they bit him on the neck and ripped out his throat, blood sprayed everywhere but he couldn't scream as his throat wasn't there anymore, this shocked all the others as they didn't expect something like that too happen, even Helen who was scared of what they would do to her was now scared of her savior, the other men tossed Helen to the side and pulled out they're knives as well.

Ain't no way I'm getting eating by a psycho one of them said as he charged forward, the stranger was still munching on the throat he had ripped out when he saw the others charge at him, with red glowing eyes, sharp teeth and long nails that looked like daggers he charged in as well, the first to reach the stranger swiped at his throat but the stranger dodged and countered with a claw to his face, leaving four lines on his face that left him blind.

He screamed as he fell to the side, the other two behind him stopped for a minute hesitating as they didn't want to go blind like they're friend but that's when the stranger attacked another. He lunged at him, tackling him to the floor and started ripping into him, eating him alive, the man screamed and stabbed the stranger multiple times but he didn't stop and eventually he stopped moving.

The stranger had eaten his chest, ribs, stomach and organs leaving a gaping hole in his body then stood up and turned to the last guy, he was so scared that he couldn't find the strength to run away and just stood there shaking, watching as his friend got devoured alive, only when the stranger stood up and looked at him did he get back to his sense but it was too late.

P....pp..... please, don't eat me, I won't do it again I swr the man pleaded but the stranger wasn't responding.

no please don't kill me, please, no no noooo!!.

The stranger ripped into him as well, his flesh was ripped out, organs spilled unto the floor, the sound of bones and flesh being crushed and munched on could be heard, the barrier had come undone and so did the illusion but it was late so no one was walking through that area, the stranger kept munching on the three dead bodies when the forth guy, the one who had been scratched on the face started crawling, he couldn't see but his instincts told him not to scream or make a sound and just crawl away, he kept crawling till a hand grabbed him and pulled him back.

As all this went on, one person was left at the end of the alley, it was Helen and she just witnessed the brutal murder and devouring of her attackers in the hands of a stranger, the more she watched the scene play in front of her the more fear took a hold of her, she was shaking profusely and had peed on herself already, words couldn't describe the helplessness and fear she felt at this moment and it soon turned into despair as the figure who had eaten most of the attackers bodies slowly stood up. His eyes still glowing read, blood all over his uniform and his fingers still elongated he walked towards her, she wanted to scream for help, she wanted to run away, everything thing in her was screaming at her to get away but she couldn't, she had lost the strength to even run and just sat there on the floor, mouth wide open and shaking with fear, she tried to speak but words wouldn't come out, her half naked figure coiled up as she closed her eyes waiting for her end but then she head a familiar voice.

"Are you ok, I wasn't late was I?"

She opened her eyes and looked up at the stranger, he had bent down and was only a few steps away from her. She could finally see the face of the stranger who had saved her but it wasn't who she expected, white hair, glowing red eyes, sharp facial features, this person looked too familiar, it was dark so she couldn't see him well and the way he acted made him seem like a beast in human clothing but now even with his blood stained uniform she could recognize him.

"r...r.. Rex?" she said

"hey Helen it's me" he said with a smile, his sharp canines showing and his mouth filled with blood she flinched a little.

"Calm down, I won't hurt you, it's still me, I'm still the rex you know" he said

"w...what happened, why are you here,h..how d..did you do that,w...w..what even are you?" she asked in a shaking voice.

scratching the back of his head Rex new he had no choice now, the only problem was if she would believe him or not. "You remember the question I asked you like a few ago, and the secret I've been hiding? well..."

Rex went on to explain to her from the very beginning, how his parents died, how his awakening happened and even the system but he left the part about the book, he was afraid even telling about the existence of the book would put her under a curse.

Helen had calmed down a bit when she found out her beastly savoir was rex but she was still scared that he would attack her any minute, but as he went on with his story her nerves slowly calmed down and she could speak properly now.

"Wait but that doesn't explain why your hear and you said before you lost control so why are you normal now?" she asked.

"well I wasn't really myself, it was just a few minutes left and I was planning on staying in school till the night but then my body went on auto pilot and I began following you, it felt like stalking a prey but I was to weak to attack you, then I saw the guys harassing you and wanted to stop them. When I got stabbed I only had ten seconds left so I just let go of controlling myself and attacked them,if I didn't and the timer hit zero I would have killed everyone, including you" he said looking at her, this sent shivers down her spine.

"s..so now what, your some kind of monster with a magical system?"

"I don't know, I don't know why this is happening to me or what I am anymore, all I know is I don't want to hurt you or anyone else I care about."

"So what now"

"you have to promise not to tell anyone"

"what?"

"please you have too, if you tell the police about me then that means my family will be in danger, I don't care if they lock me up or I'm forced into hiding but the man who killed my family, he's still out there and he could come for Mrs roselle and her daughter, please Helen I'm begging you" he said bowing his head on the floor, "I don't want to loose you or anyone else I care about, please help me figure this out and keep my secret he pleaded".

"ok"

"huh?"

"I said ok" she said with a flushed face, "it'll be our little secret".
