Chapter 9

"What the f**k!" Drake shouted and immediately stood up after he saw them shift. The shock registered on Drake's face as his mouth hangs open and his eyes open wide while staring at them. He even unconsciously took a step back away from them. But before he could talk again, he was stunned when Colleen turned her back to him, facing the glass wall where there was a glass window next to it, and Brandon did the same; he turned his back to him, facing the door. He was getting confused, but before he could react, he saw the door shuttered and was suddenly open with a loud sound of bumping on the wall. And in a split second, the room became upside down. He was hiding at a small center table while Colleen and Brandon were busy fighting with four men wearing black suits. After he saw the red-colored eyes of the man who entered through the window, he hid his face and kneeled down, covering his head with his two arms. He even kissed the floor because he was so terrified. He couldn't see what was going on, but he could hear the thuds and howling from Colleen's apartment. After a creepy sound for almost fifteen minutes, tranquility replaced it. He waited for a few seconds before he gradually raised his head, and removed his hand that was covering his head. He saw the four men captured by Colleen and Brandon. Colleen and Brandon were both dressed in new clothes, while these four men's hands were tied behind their backs.When he looked at them, he could say that they were not ordinary people. When he lifted his gaze to Colleen and Brandon, he became concerned about the way they were looking at him. He voluntarily shook his head. He could not believe what his eyes had witnessed. Such things like that were only seen in movies. He saw Colleen smirk. **** Colleen was smiling when she saw the fear in Drake's eyes. She knew that they were here not because of her and Brandon, but because of Drake. Because of his real identity, which even he himself was not aware of. "Do you know them?" Colleen inquired as she observed Drake who continued shaking his head as a swift reply. "No, I don't know them," he replied and walked nearer to the four men and took a closer look at them, but he was still not able to recognize any of them. Brandon walked to the mini kitchen. When he came back, he was holding a jungle knife. "We will show you something," she said to Drake, and Brandon grabbed the head of the man and, with no mercy, he beheaded him. At first, she saw Drake closing his eyes. She could see from Drake's reaction that he was scared and had never seen any scene like this before in his entire life. The man beheaded suddenly vanished and sparkled like a fire. "Where is the man?" Drake inquired, prompting her to look at Drake. "You don't have to close your eyes. There's no blood that will splatter in my room." Colleen responded. Drake's brow furrowed in response. She could see the questions and confusion in Drake's eyes and that made her chuckle. She could see the proof that Drake was innocent; he had no idea that he had the blood of a vampire. **** Drake noticed Colleen giggling and wondered why he felt there was something Colleen knew that he didn't. Everything that happened in the span of time made him all confused and composed many questions on his mind. He was sure that there are more things he needed to know. He smirked at the thought, because the truth was, he had no idea Colleen had a bad side. He admitted to himself that he was terrified when he saw these two transform into frightening beasts.He had no idea that werewolves were real. Because he thought that it was just an illusion or it was only the imagination of a human person. It's only created by the wild imagination of a writer, to read and to watch in the movies. And now a minute ago he saw four men tied up and Brandon beheaded the other one, but to his surprise there was no blood and the body disappeared. Now he saw Brandon grab the head of the other one, and this time he was focused on the knife that Brandon was holding, as the knife landed on the neck of the man. And in one incision, the head and the body sparkled like fire as they vanished in a split second. He was dumbfounded by what he had seen. He couldn't believe what he d seen with his two naked eyes, that the man had disappeared, just like the sparkling fire. Colleen's apartment was not splattered with blood. Not even a single drop of blood. Now he saw when Brandon continued beheading the two men left, and just like the first two earlier they just changed by the sparkling fire that in the end totally disappeared. "Now it's your turn," Colleen's voice echoed in the living room and startled him out of his thoughts. "Why... what do you mean?" He stammered as he took a step back and kept staring at them. He couldn't deny that fear had overwhelmed him. Brandon stepped forward to him. That made him take a couple more steps backwards. He felt terrified. He wondered what Brandon and Colleen would do to him. If they just beheaded those four men in front of him with no mercy. How could he fight them, if earlier they just suddenly shifted into a beast with no warning? How could he run out of this apartment? He knew that if they meant harm towards him, he could not fight them as there was no even one percent chance that he could win. He had no choice but to accept his fate as prey to the two beasts before him. So he chose to close his eyes and accept his fate to die.
