Chapter 2
As he got out of the car, Alaric stretching his arms out in front of him said, “Hey, Wulf, aren’t you cramped up too?” He was wondering why Adalwulf was still in the car fumbling with his cell phone.
“Hey, do you get service here with your phone Alaric?” Adalwulf asked thinking, Why the hell won’t my phone work, we’re still near the freeway.
“Let me check,” Alaric took out his phone and stared at the corner of the screen where the service bars were supposed to be and found none.
“Nope, I guess we’re too far away even for Verizon,” Alaric stated and threw his phone back into his seat seeing that there would be no use for it in the forest.
“Hey, bring your phone, we might get lost and if we do we just have to find run out of the forest to the nearest town or city and call the other person. Anyway this is a new forest, it’s not like a German forest,” warned Adalwulf. Alaric sighed and opened the door and grabbed his phone which was wedged between the seat cushion.
“Good, now grab your backpack from the trunk and let’s go,” Adalwulf commanded as he stepped out of the car and popped the trunk.
“Yes, Wulf,” said Alaric slowly. He was tired from the lack of energy from not being able to hunt for a month. Licking his lips he thought, hmm I wonder what the deer will taste like here.
“What are you thinking about?” asked Adalwulf.
“Deer,” answered Alaric.
“Well, hopefully they’ll have them.”
“Yup, hopefully,” answered Alaric. They might not even have squirrels, humans have polluted the planet so much, no wonder there’s a food crisis, he thought.
Adalwulf took out the key of the BMW and stuffed it into his Black Jansport backpack and said, “Come on let’s hunt I’m getting hungry,” with a sly smile on his face.
“YES FINALLY,” exclaimed Alaric.
They raced together into the forest. The trees blanket the little sunlight that shines from the sky at dusk. The smell of pine trees overwhelmed their noses and Adalwulf looks at the sky. The moon is barely shining through the heavy treetops. Howling, his clothes rip and in less than a minute, he had turned into a werewolf.
Adalwulf, like his human form, was a beautiful being. His fur was soft black and his wolf eyes were a beautiful shade of silver. He looked at Alaric and said, “Ha, can you beat this.”
“Of course I can,” Alaric answered. This was a routine thing for the two, one transformed and the other tried to beat the way they did it.
Alaric stood there and stared intensely at the moon. His eyes became unfocused and he suddenly fell down onto the pile of leaves he had prepared as a cushion. Suddenly he got up and his eyes grew huge. They turned from a deep beautiful blue to a passionate fiery red as he looks at the moon. His long golden hair turned into beautiful breathtaking silver.
He looked at Adalwulf and says, “Ha. I won, if I do say so myself.”
“Whatever, I’m still in the lead. Remember, you’ve won ten times including this one and I’ve won 13 times,” Adalwulf boasted.
“Oh yeah, oh well, being immortal means this competition will go on forever for the both of us. Now let us stop this meaningless chit chat and start to hunt,” said Alaric smiling.
They both ran in separate directions and scanned the forest area for any prey. As soon as Alaric saw something, he quietly got into hunting position.
Creeping silently, Alaric took care not to make any unnecessary noise. When he reached less than a foot away from the naïve deer, he reached into his backpack and grabbed his tranquilizer.
“Gotcha,” He whispered as he shot the deer with the tranquilizer. As the deer falls down on to the ground, it becomes unconscious; Alaric walked over swiftly and used his fingernail to slit open a cut right at the deer’s heart.
“Mmm finally, after waiting a month, I finally got some delicious blood,” He whispers trying not to scare away any other deer. Dear me, I sound like a monster. Oh wait, I am he thought sadly realizing the truth that he had encountered 500 years ago.
Adalwulf had spotted his prey, a tall male deer. His taste was in male deer while Alaric was more drawn to female deer. Maybe because he’s so girly, he thought chuckling. When he was within jumping range of the buck, he pounced atop of the buck like a jaguar. The buck, taken by surprise started kicking randomly missing every time. As he was about to take a bite into the buck, he was taken by surprise by Alaric.
“WE HAVE TO GO. Someone’s hunting us. I think it’s The Society!” Alaric exclaimed. Adalwulf stared blankly at Alaric and continued to wrestle with the buck.
“COME ON. We’ll get caught!” yelled Alaric panicking.
“FINE, let me finish this and then we’ll go, anyway what did they look like?” asked Adalwulf impatiently.
“I’m not really sure but there’s a girl and two males. Hurry up!” Alaric snapped.
After one final blow to its head, the deer stopped kicking and moving. “’Kay, I’m done,” Adalwulf stated and he bit the deer sucking out the last of its blood. They started to run but as they reach the edge of the forest where the BMW was parked, they were stopped by three people.
A girl and two guys, like Alaric’s description, had stopped them and were looking at them carefully. Finally, the silence was broken by the girl.
“Hello, I am Lilith, this is Astarot,” she said motioning to the shorter of the two guys, “and this is Cenerico,” she continued, motioning to the taller of the two guys. Alaric and Adalwulf look blankly at the three.
“Who are you three, and why are you here?” Alaric questioned.
“I am a demon, Astarot is a dragon, and Cenerico is a puppet master, we were looking for you, we need your guy’s help, please,” Lilith pleaded.
“What do you need our help for, demon,” Alaric snapped.
“We’re escaping The Society, they’re calling us exiles, please, we’ve heard stories of you two and how you escaped The Society and we need your help,” Lilith pleaded.
“Fine, but you’ll have to live with us and follow our orders, we’re still escaping The Society ourselves,” Adalwulf said. After he said this, he ran toward the BMW and transformed back into a human and he stepped into the car to change into some clothes.
“So, Cenerico, you’re a puppet master eh?” Alaric said.
“Why yes I am,” Cenerico answered with a smirk.
“Cool, I’m Alaric and I’m a vampire and Adalwulf is a werewolf, you can call Adalwulf just plain Wulf,” Alaric stated as he waited for Adalwulf to return.
“Okay, whatever,” Cenerico said cocking his eyebrow looking at Adalwulf. He had finished changing and was walking towards Astarot.
“Hey Astarot, you’re a dragon right?” Adalwulf eagerly asked.
“Uhh, yes.” Astarot answered quietly.
“Aww, so shy, haha, my clan loves telling stories about dragons,” Adalwulf teased.
“Okay, let’s stop with the chit chat and head home,” Alaric commanded, “I’m driving Wulf.”
“Fine, old man” Adalwulf whined and threw him the keys which he caught swiftly.
The three snickered quietly and Alaric motioned for everyone to enter the car and they all started to drive back towards Alaric and Adalwulf’s apartment in New York when they realized they weren’t going to have enough room in the one bedroom apartment.
“Hey, do you guys carry any money, like enough to rent an apartment or a studio?” Adalwulf asked slowly.
“Yes, we have about ten million in our funds,” Lilith answered quickly.
“Oh then you guys are set. You should rent an apartment in our building, I think the room next to ours is empty,” Alaric stated.
“Okay,” Lilith, Cenerico and Astarot san in unison.
As they pulled into the parking lot, people were staring at the five in the BMW.
They thought Lilith, Astarot, Cenerico, Alaric, and Adalwulf were all incredibly beautiful.
Lilith, Astarot, and Cenerico were all the same age as Alaric and Adalwulf and were beautiful like them. Lilith had beautiful curves and her hair was a stunning red. She was tall but not as tall as the guys and her eyes were a beautiful passionate red. Her skin was clear and she was pale but beautiful. Because she was a demon, she was excellent at seducing men like a succubus but she didn’t live off the live force of humans.
Astarot was tall, lean, and his hair was short like Adalwulf’s. He had beautiful silver hair making him look foreign. His eyes were a teal color and they looked beautifully clear. He was tall but shorter than Cenerico and Adalwulf. He was mistaken as a girl often because of his gentle disposition. His senses were excellent thanks to his dragon traits and he was extremely intelligent.
Cenerico was an Asian beauty. From the looks of it, he was half English and half Asian. His eyes were a clear blue and his hair was raven black. It was long like Alaric’s and he kept it in a pony tail. He was muscular like Alaric but he was not mistaken as a girl, unlike Alaric, because of his height. Cenerico was able to control people and their thoughts because of his powers as a puppet master. He used these powers to get people to do favors and as a result, he became lazy and cocky.
As they stepped into the building, they walked in slowly not wanting to disturb anyone. They entered the landlady’s office quietly.
“Um, can we get a room? Preferably next to theirs,” Astarot asked politely motioning to Alaric and Adalwulf.
“Oh, yeah sure, that room should be empty,” the landlady said looking at Adalwulf and blushing.
Haha Alaric was right she really fell hard for me thought Adalwulf. The landlady handed Astarot, Cenerico, and Lilith each a key and they in return gave her the down payment for the rent and they all headed upstairs toward their new apartment.
When they got into their apartment, Adalwulf said to Alaric, “I wonder what those three did to get cast out. I hope they’re okay,”
“Me too, it’s okay, they all came from where we did and they were probably hurt as much as we were, they wouldn’t want to talk about it either, would you like to talk about what happened in that building?” Alaric asked looking downcast.
“Nope, let’s hope that we get along well, and school starts again pretty soon,” Adalwulf said.
“Damn it, we’ll have to go back to that hell hole of an establishment, and we’ll take those three as prisoner with us, haha,” Alaric joked.
