Part 12 - Nightmares Come True
I bashed through the principal's office door, startling him as I slammed my fists on his desk.
"Why?!" I yelled.
Surprised by that sudden question and the way I came in, he moved his seat back a little.
"What do you mean?" he asked me.
"Why did you fire Silver?!" I yelled.
"ah I see. He was sleeping on the job, and I had caught him doing that once before, you only get 2 chances here." he explained.
"But then again! You said he was one of your best teachers here!" I kept my voice raised.
"True ... but even the best teachers can get fired if they sleep on the job." he said.
Then Silver came in looking rather scared.
"R ... Razor stop this! There's nothing to be done about it!" he yelled to me.
"That's not true! Maybe you gave up but I'm not going to!" I yelled.
"If the principal's not going to cooperate and give you back your job, then ... I'll make him."
With that remark the principal got surprised and scared. As I was now showing my teeth and looked mad. Silver again tried to stop me from doing anything stupid, but failed and as I was about to lash out at the principal I stopped.
"W ... what?" I thought.
"What's this ... feeling? I've ... had it before."
Then my eyes opened wide and I started looking around like mad.
"No no no! This can't be!" I yelled trying to hide myself underneath the window.
"Huh? What's the matter?" everyone asked in unison as they entered the office.
"They're here!" I yelled.
"Who's here?" Silver asked.
I looked up, tears flowing from my eyes, and my body shaking. I was terrified ... terrified of what could happen and will happen.
"Razor? What's the matter? You're shaking like mad here." Silver asked worried.
"I ... I ... I ..." I stuttered not even saying a decent word.
"I'm going to die."
With that I started crying in my own arms. Everyone was surprised of what I just said.
"Come on Razor, there's no way you'll die just like that." Anna said.
"It's not that. I'm going to die by the people that just entered this school." I said.
"Who entered the school?" Silver asked.
"They call themselves hunters. They hunt the so-called monstrosities like werewolves and vampires and so on. They also happen to be ... the killers of my parents. I found that out not too long ago." I explained.
"What?!" Everyone said in unison surprised of what I had just said.
"And I'm sure that ... they'll not only kill me, but every wolf that looks like a werewolf." I continued.
"No way! That means they'll kill about half the teenagers in this school!" Silver and Anna yelled.
"Yea pretty much. But they're mainly after me. I ... don't know how they found me." I said scared.
"I've been able to hide from them already a while, how ... when they found me is a mystery to me."
"Don't worry Razor, we won't let them hurt you." Silver assured me.
Everyone agreed on that, they were going to help me no matter what.
"E ... Everyone ... thank you." I said then opened my eyes wide as I heard a door being opened.
"They entered the first classroom."
Everyone then listened and kept their eyes open for those hunters. I however ran off and hid behind a plant in the office. I was terrified of what could happen. Nothing was heard and after a few more doors being heard opened, the door to the principal's office opened revealing 3 of these hunters.
"Our apologies we just entered your office principal." one of them said.
"We just came here, hearing there were some ... abnormalities here."
"Really? Well I didn't call you." The principal said.
"Indeed, you didn't but someone else did." he said.
I was shaking thus drawing a little attention because the flower pot was shaking as well. I had my eyes closed, hoping that they wouldn't notice me. They kept talking and I thought they didn't knew I was there. But I was wrong ... so terribly wrong. Suddenly a hand touched my shoulder and another grabbed me around my waist.
"Look what I found!" one of the hunters yelled.
"My my, if it isn't little Razor that escaped us twice now." another said.
"Looks like we can finally get you for running from us." the third said.
"Lemme go!" I yelled.
The hands weren't around my waist anymore, they were this time, holding me at my throat.
"Ack ... s ... stop!" I said.
"Hah, you think, we'll let you go so easily again?" the hunter said.
I had trouble breathing cause of the hands holding me. I soon felt a gun being pointed at my mouth.
"Well don't worry about breathing now Razor boy. You won't need to where you're going. Say hello to your mommy and daddy for us." The hunter said.
I was crying and dropped my arms to the ground, I gave up hope and prepared myself to die. Soon a sword was thrown against the gun and it was flung out of his hand.
"Hey, that's my student you know." Silver said.
"S ... Silver." I coughed.
"So why don't you drop him already and get out of here." Silver said.
"Hah, playing tough guy are we?" the second hunter said.
"This'll show you!"
He pointed his gun at Silver and fired, but instead of blood coming out of Silver, he looked like he had been electrocuted and fell down.
"Silver! No!" I yelled eyes turning red and hair becoming wild.
"I won't forgive you for this! I won't let you kill my family again!"
I lashed for the first hunter and slashed his throat open while biting in the other one's neck. When both fell to the floor I went for the third and just clawed his face and throat open.. I then ran to Silver's side and looked at him.
"Silver! Silver! Say something!" I yelled tears flowing from my cheeks.
Then I got this familiar feeling again and the voice of my dad echoed in my head again.
"Razor, remember what I said. You're a werewolf, werewolves heal with blood, even their own blood!" dad's voice said.
"Blood, of course ... it might ... save him." I thought.
I gathered my courage and bit open my wrist, which disgusted many of my classmates.
"Razor what the hell you doing?!" Anna shouted.
"It ... might save him." I said.
I let the blood drip in silver's mouth, which ... didn't seem to do a thing. I looked down and started sobbing, when dad's voice echoed again.
"Hm, looks like the blood of your wrist doesn't work eh?" his voice said.
"No it didn't." I thought.
"Tell me, where did that shot hit him?" he asked.
"Huh? Where it ... hit him?" I asked.
"Yea, where did it hit?" he asked again.
I went to Silver and started listening to his intestines. When I heard his breathing being terrible.
"I suppose his lungs have been hit." I thought.
"Well, then try getting some blood of your stomach area, people think that blood is blood, but it does go to different areas. So it isn't quite the same everywhere. Be strong, if you want to save him." he said.
"Well worth a try." I thought.
I gathered my most hidden courage and stabbed myself through my stomach with my claws. The blood dripping from my claws made me feel queasy and hold my breath. I then pulled my claws back out of my stomach and let the blood drip in Silver's mouth again. This time however, it had effect and Silver was starting to breath again. Coughing and hardly able to breath he looked at me and was disgusted with what I was doing. He pushed away my hand but instead of moving it back to his mouth, I took his head and pushed it in my wound. Silver tried to move away but I didn't let him.
"Please ... Silver just ... drink it ... it'll make you ... feel better." I said through gasps of breath.
He stopped pushing away and started drinking my blood, which made me feel weaker and weaker every so often. He then stopped and pushed himself away, pushing me back too. He was gasping and breathing badly, and so was I.
"Razor ... I have no fricking idea of what just happened and why you just did that and why the hell I feel great again but ... thanks." Silver said.
I just lied there, eyes staring at the ceiling and I wasn't budging.
"Razor? Razor?!" Silver yelled.
"Hey! Say something!"
"Uh oh, maybe I drank too much."
Silver started panicking until he got an idea.
"Hey he made me drink his blood didn't he? Well if his blood worked for me, then my blood must work for him as well!" He said.
"You're crazy aren't you Silver?" Anna asked.
"Come on! You're going to do the same crazy thing Razor did?!"
"Maybe, it did work for me." He replied.
With that he bit his wrist open and let the blood pour in my mouth, which I swallowed almost instantly and raised my head, grabbed his arm and started drinking more. I released when I realised I could kill Silver this way, and started coughing.
"Wow, you really are bloodthirsty at times aren't your Razor." Silver said.
"S ... Sorry, heh." I smiled.
"Say Razor, about time you told us just why these hunters are after you, and why your blood just helped Silver." Anna said.
Everyone agreed, and I looked at Silver because he knew. I nodded to Silver and he did too.
"Alright, first of all, they're after me because ... I'm a werewolf. And second, my blood helped because my blood has a healing ability like phoenixes have, and that's why it helped Silver." I explained.
"Wow! You're a werewolf?!" Everyone asked in unison.
"Yea, I am." I said looking down.
"I didn't want anyone to know, I didn't want to have to hide again like I did in my previous school! I wanted to be normal! Like everyone else, without having to be treated like I had been, I just wanted to be accepted, that's why I hid who I actually am!" I cried.
"I just wanted to be ... alive ... and happy, but somehow ... I'm not allowed to be. Bad things always happen that ruin it for me, like now. I have been running from those hunters ever since I found my parents dead, I searched for a new home because of them, and now they're back for me."
"They targeted both my parents because my dad was a werewolf, and my mom loved him. The hunters didn't like that and killed them. But they didn't know I lived, and when they found out, I was already gone from there. So they started tracking me down and searching for me, I have been running from them ever since. Which eventually led me here and gave me a home, where I soon will have to leave as well if I am to live without being hunted by angry villagers that call me a freak. Like always."
"Darn, I ... didn't know you had such a hard life Razor." Silver said.
"You can't imagine." I said crying.
Silver came over to me and grabbed hold of me. And before I knew it ... he was hugging me. I couldn't believe what was happening, he was hugging me in front of everyone. I closed my eyes and hugged back.
"Well, don't worry Razor, we're not going to chase you out of this town, none of us is going to." he said smiling.
Everyone agreed, none of them were lying and all said they wouldn't chase me down.
"Especially not the one that just saved my life Razor." Silver said looking at me.
I looked in his eyes and found something I hadn't seen in a man's eyes for a long time. He was showing love which I wanted from a guy like him, caring love ... the love ... a father gives.
"We're not done here yet." I said.
"We're not?" Silver asked surprised.
"No, there's ... still one more here. The one ... that killed my parents." I responded.
Everyone looked at me with eyes wide open.
"It's payback time." I said.
I left the office with piercing determination, confident that I would be the one killing him this time. Like people say, an eye for an eye. I was going to avenge my parents so they can finally rest in peace. As I turned around I saw him with a gun pointed at me.
"Long time no see, Razor." He said.
"Yea, it's been ... a while." I responded.
"So ... looks like you're wanting revenge for what happened huh." he said.
"Of course ... and I'm going to get that revenge." I said eyes glaring at him.
"You're going to die this time, and with that I'll have avenged my parents' death."
I leaped out to him but he simply dodge rolled out of the way and got Silver, who was just coming out of the office, by his neck and pointed the gun to his head.
"Grr, being as cowardly as before are we?!" I yelled to him.
"Hahaha, don't be mad Razor, I'm just making sure, there aren't going to be any more monsters like you." He said.
"Now tell me ... who's it going to be? You ... or this wolf here, which seems to be a dear someone to you."
I couldn't do anything with Silver being held hostage. I dropped my head and closed my eyes, preparing myself for getting the same death my parents got.
"Heh as I thought, wise choice, you wouldn't want this wolf to die because of your weakness would you?" he provoked.
"I'll ... get you ... even ... if I die." I said.
With that said, he pointed his gun at my chest and shot a bullet straight on the heart. I slowly fell backwards onto my back.
"No! Razor!" Silver yelled.
Silver ran towards me and held me in his arms, holding me like a father would his dying son. I didn't move, nor blink or breath, my entire body was ... paralysed.
"Hahaha! Die like your parents did!" He yelled.
Silver then turned around, ran towards him and got behind him, snapping his neck from behind.
"Don't fricking mess with my family!" Silver yelled.
After that, he came back to me, held me in his arms again.
"Razor, hang in there, please." he said.
"You ... can't die! You just can't!"
I had no way of survival but Silver didn't give up hope in me. He bit his wrist open again and poured blood in my mouth again, with little result.
"Come on Razor! Don't just lie there and die!" He cried.
"I care about you ... don't ... leave me behind. You're the only one that I have that's like family to me."
Silver was sitting on his knees, crying on my chest now. The tears felt like raindrops on my furry chest, and I started to fight back against the paralysis inside my body. I felt power inside me I had never felt before, and that power, gave me the strength to resist it. My eyes turned red and now and then, everyone could hear a growl. My dad was alone in the fight against the paralysis, but I wasn't. I had ... my family, friends and ... Silver, who all knew I could survive and were hoping and praying that I would. Which I eventually ... actually did. I coughed a few times, letting Silver know I was alive and the paralysis didn't get to my heart or lungs.
"Razor?! You're ok!" He yelled.
He hugged me tight making me cough even more.
"Ah! Silver! That hurts!" I yelled.
"Oh! Sorry. I guess I got a little carried away." He said smiling, tears still flowing from his eyes.
"I'm ok now Silver, don't worry. I'll be fine." I assured him.
"However, I know some people in this school aren't if we don't hurry."
With that I ordered everyone to check all classrooms to find any wolf lying on the floor and report it to me. Everyone split up and checked all classrooms asking the teacher if anyone got hurt.
I checked 3 classrooms where I got the same answer that everyone was fine, when Silver ran up to me and told me he found a wolf on the floor not breathing. I ran to that classroom and bit open my wrist again, letting the blood drip in that wolf's mouth. Not that much later he began breathing and started looking around nervously.
"Wha ... What happened?" he asked.
"Don't worry too much now, you're ok, and that's what counts." I said smiling.
Silver and I left the room and checked more classes. Finding a few more who needed help I did the same procedure.
"I'm glad that was the last one, I feel weak." I said after having all classes checked and helped.
"I didn't know your blood was healing." Silver said.
"But you lost quite some blood, are you sure that you'll be alright?"
"Yea, I'm sure. I'll be fine, my blood replenishes itself, you could say I produce my own blood." I said.
"Wow, producing your own blood huh. That's ... pretty weird." he said.
"I know it's hard to believe but ... I already told you I'm not ... normal." I said again.
"I know, I know, but then again ... it's that ... not normal ... that helped people out right now." he laughed.
I suddenly hugged Silver which startled and surprised him. I laughed and closed my eyes holding him tight.
"Silver ... thank you." I said silently.
"Hey ... you're welcome Razor. Always." he said holding me as well.
At the principal's office Anna was watching and smiling, she knew that Silver cared about me and I cared about him as much as a father and son would care about each other. In other words, we loved each other as father and son.
