Chapter 9: Who is he?

(A.N : The Last chapter was a bit overstretched. I apologize. I was out of ideas and that was the only thing I could think of. It was only a side story but Creston and Tracy will meet again one day. I promise)

Who would've thought that a twelve year old could beat up three full grown men. it's just so unnatural.

Creston Jonah is twelve years old and was in 8th grade at school. Mc'elle was five years older so she was in highschool.

Creston had a pet dog which he named, Baxter. Creston found Baxter on the street looking for food so he took him in and made him his pet.

After a long summer, school finally begins.

Creston's best friend, Leviathan Zeke, finally came back from their long stay in New Zealand for the summer.

Mc'elle was studying biochemistry and she was given an assignment, to collect and observe the DNAS of her family members so she did. Mc'elle had a microscope in her room. During observation, she noticed that Creston's DNA was different. Of course, Creston was adopted, she guessed but it looked like Creston wasn't even a human. Mc'elle was puzzled so she tried again; she recollected their DNAS and observed them again but the results were still the same. She thought maybe Creston was sick but her textbooks and the internet proved her wrong. Creston was not sick, he was just different.

...

Gobert worked for the government. He was a biologist, he was also an explorer and a researcher specialized in the area of animals. He said, "The only way to know more about nature is to embrace it". That was why he became an explorer, he wanted to know more, he wanted to prove to discover new breeds of animals.

Mc'elle decided to show the DNA result to her dad.

"Dad, who is Creston? What is Creston? Where did he come from?"

"Is this about one of the fights you two are always having? Don't worry, he's still your younger brother, you'll get over it". Gobert shrugged his shoulders.

"No!" "If he really is my brother then explain this!" She threw the test results at her dad.

Just then, Laura came in with a plate of cookies. "Who's hungry?- what's going on here?" Her happy facial expression turned sour. "What are those papers with your dad about?"

"Oh mom, thank God you're here, please, sit down and tell me who or what the hell is Creston because as dad can clearly see, he's not a human."

Laura gasped "What? Creston isn't a human? Then what is he?"

Both their questions remained unanswered after one whole minute of silence. The mother and daughter weren't patient people, soon they started arguing and making noise while Gobert just sat there, intently looking at the DNA results. He felt like he had seen such a thing before, he was trying his best to remember but his wife and child was making it difficult for him.

They kept on nagging and nagging untill Gobert couldn't take it anymore.

STOP!!!

"I think I've seen this before, hold on..." After saying that, he went into his room and after two minutes, he came out with some papers in his hand. He spoke; "Twelve years ago I came across some creatures in the forest, they looked like a dog but extremely ugly. I shot two or three maybe and since I had never seen such creatures before, I decided to run a test, study it, understand it, you know, research it." He stared at the results, took a deep breath and finally spoke, "According to Mc'elle's DNA results about Creston and the ones for the dogs, it looks like Creston and those dogs are related."

Gobert wasn't really sure so he decided to go do the test himself. He came back disappointed. "I've done further tests and Creston's and the dogs DNA is a 75 percent match!"

The room turned dead silent. Creston wasn't home yet, he was with Levi.

Mc'elle finally spoke, "So you're saying Creston's a dog?!"

"Not really". Gobert said, "When I was studying the body of the dogs, I just couldn't figure out what they were so I used went online for further research and I according to the internet, those dogs were demons like Cerberus and stuff".

"So you're saying Creston's a... demon?" Laura was the one who asked.

Everyone knew the answer to that so no one answered.

Just then, Creston walked in with a face full of questions.
