Beth death

Thomas stood his ground, muscles tense, as he fended off the snarling beasts with every ounce of strength he had. Sophie, Steven, and Beth, seeing an opening, bolted for the exit of the abandoned garage. The sound of their hurried footsteps echoed against the crumbling walls. But their escape was far from smooth. A beast caught sight of them and let out a guttural roar before charging after them.

As they ran, the creature leapt at Steven, knocking him to the ground. Sophie skidded to a stop and rummaged frantically through her bag. Her fingers closed around a can of beast spray, and without hesitation, she hurled it toward Steven. "Catch!" she shouted.

Steven caught the can mid-air, fumbling for a moment before spraying it directly into the beast's face. The creature screeched, clawing at its eyes as it stumbled backward. Steven scrambled to his feet and tossed the spray back to Sophie, gasping, "Thanks."

There was no time to linger. More beasts turned their glowing eyes toward the fleeing group, and their snarls filled the air. Thomas, still fighting near the rear, attempted to intercept the charging beasts, but the sheer number overwhelmed him.

By the time Steven, Sophie, and Beth reached the heavy metal exit door, their path was blocked. A dozen beasts stood between them and freedom, their sharp claws glinting under the flickering garage lights. They were cornered.

"Thomas!" Sophie called out, her voice tinged with desperation. She glanced back at their protector, only to see his transformation beginning to reverse. His claws retracted, his monstrous features softening into something painfully human. "This is bad," Sophie whispered to the others. "Thomas is turning back… and these beasts don't look like they're going to let us go."

Steven's voice quivered. "What do we do now? We're trapped!"

Sophie clenched her jaw and met his eyes with fierce determination. "We fight back." She shoved the beast spray into Beth's hands and gripped her blaster tightly. "We have no choice."

Beth, normally hesitant, nodded. "I owe these things for everything they've done. I'm not scared anymore."

Steven looked panicked. "You're both insane! We can't fight them—we'll die!"

"Then stay here and let them eat you," Sophie snapped. She tossed him a broken drone from her bag.

Steven stared at it in disbelief. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

"Figure it out!" Sophie barked as the beasts began their attack.

Beth wasted no time, spraying the gas into the faces of the nearest beasts. They reeled backward, snarling and clawing at the air. Sophie let out a battle cry and joined her, blasting at any creature that got too close.

Thomas, partially reverted to human form, launched himself into the fray with nothing but his fists. Though his blows weren't as strong as before, he fought with a ferocity born of desperation. Meanwhile, Steven, shaking, swung the broken drone at an advancing beast. To his surprise, the impact knocked the creature out cold. A spark of confidence ignited in him, and he swung again and again, using the drone as a makeshift weapon.

But their luck didn't hold for long. Beth's spray ran dry, and Sophie's blaster battery died. "Thomas!" Sophie shouted, retreating toward him.

Steven kept smashing his drone against the beasts until one of them bit down, shattering it. "What now?" he yelled, retreating to Thomas's side.

Thomas panted, blood dripping from wounds across his body. "I'll make an opening," he said. But before he could act, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to fade away.

In the depths of his mind, Thomas found himself face-to-face with the Alpha. The towering, monstrous figure radiated power and disdain.

"You dare summon me again?" the Alpha growled, his voice rumbling like distant thunder.

"I need your power," Thomas said firmly, standing his ground.

The Alpha's lips curled into a sneer. "You sealed me away, and yet you continue to abuse what I allowed you to borrow. That privilege is over."

"They're my powers now!" Thomas shot back.

"No," the Alpha said coldly. "The seal was to trap me, not to grant you my strength. If you want it, you must accept me fully. Say the words, 'I accept you.' But know this: you will crave human flesh. You will kill to survive. You will become one of us, though you'll retain control. That is the price."

Thomas shook his head, his voice trembling with defiance. "No. I'll never be like you. I won't kill anyone."

The Alpha's glowing eyes narrowed. "You already kill. You slaughter my kind without hesitation. Killing is in your blood—our blood. It's instinct. The choice is yours, Thomas. Accept me, or lose everything."

Thomas's jaw tightened. "I can't."

The Alpha's form began to dissipate. "If you change your mind, you know where to find me."

In the blink of an eye, Thomas was back in the garage. Only a second had passed in the real world, but the beasts were advancing again. Steven yelled, "Thomas, hurry up and clear a path!"

Thomas clenched his fists. "I can't," he admitted. "The Alpha… he's gone. I don't have his power anymore."

"What?!" Steven and Sophie shouted in unison.

The beasts circled closer, their snarls growing louder. Without hesitation, Thomas grabbed a piece of the broken drone from the ground. "I don't need his power!" he roared, charging forward.

With sheer determination, Thomas struck down the beasts in his path. Each swing of the drone piece cost him dearly, his body taking hit after hit, but he didn't stop. "Run!" he shouted, his voice hoarse.

Steven, Sophie, and Beth sprinted toward the exit, leaving Thomas to hold off the pack. Steven was the first to escape, followed by Sophie.

As Beth ran, a beast lunged at her, catching her ankle and dragging her down. "No!" Thomas yelled, turning back.

Beth looked up at him, her eyes filled with resolve. She pushed Thomas toward the door. "Go! You have to live!"

"No! Don't do this!" Thomas shouted, tears streaming down his face.

Beth smiled through her tears. "Take care of yourself, Thomas. I'll tell Mom and Dad you took care of me. And… thank you for everything."

The door slammed shut as the beasts descended on Beth. Thomas pounded on the metal barrier, his screams echoing through the garage. "No! Stop! Leave her alone!" His fists thudded against the door until they bled, but it was no use.

Overwhelmed by anguish and rage, Thomas fell to his knees. He closed his eyes, and without hesitation, forced himself back into the trance.

The Alpha stood waiting, a smirk on his monstrous face. "Changed your mind?"

Thomas's voice was raw, filled with hate. "I accept you."

The Alpha tilted his head. "Are you sure? Once done, it can't be undone. You'll crave human flesh. You'll kill—"

"Do it!" Thomas roared. "Give me the power! They're all going to die by my hands!"

The Alpha's laughter echoed in his mind as their bond was sealed. Energy surged through Thomas, and his body began to transform once more. His claws lengthened, his eyes burned with a crimson glow, and his muscles rippled with newfound strength.

Back in the garage, Thomas rose to his feet, his breaths heavy and uneven. He turned toward the snarling beasts, a murderous glint in his eyes. "Run," he growled at Sophie and Steven. "Run as fast as you can."

They didn't need to be told twice. As they disappeared into the night, Thomas unleashed his fury, a whirlwind of claws and destruction. The beasts that had tormented them stood no chance against the unleashed wrath of the new Alpha, later Thomas stood covered in blood as Steven and Sophie approached him, Thomas stares at them with blood lust ready to pounce.
