RAGING FEUD III

"Oh really?".

My face shot back in horror to the rich masculine voice.

It was from the brown wolf.

It could talk!!!

I wiped my face vigorously with the back of my palms.

I looked again. I saw a handsome young man standing in their midst.

His body was well toned with nice abs and broad chest. He was of muscular build.

But, he was NAKED!!!

Worse still, HE DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE!!!

I threw my face away to the other side. It felt like I was watching live porn.

I almost vomitted onto the shrubs by my side.

But behind me, the vampires didn't seem to care either.

The conversation continued like THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG!!!

"We found it first".

"Mhhm- hmm. Tell me more".

"It belongs to the...kid".

Hearing this, my heart fell beyond sea-level.

She considered ME a KID?!!!

"Seems like your friend over there has a problem with my looks".

It felt like he was daring me to look.

I felt my macho ego being hurt, like I was the only kid present.

I desperately wanted to prove him wrong and look, but I cringed.

"You can look now".

I slowly turned my neck towards him. I caught a glimpse first.

The pack members surrounded him so his waist and below wasn't visible from our view.

I fully turned my head to face him.

"Mhhm-mhhm" I cleared my throat noisily.

"So you were saying?" Sam said sarcastically.

"It belongs to the...boy".

At least, this one didn't hurt like the last one.

"It's on our land" Sam argued.

"So, convince me you were not stealing, Becca".

Her name was Rebecca???

Interesting!!!

She cringed on his last statement. Her expression turned to anger.

He smirked as he saw the impact of his words.

I saw her close her fists very tightly.

The tension was beginning to get sky high.

"She wasn't stealing. It's mine. It brought me here".

I tried to calm the situation.

"Well, I can't find the familiar seal on it. Sorry bro, your loss".

A familiar seal? What was that?

"What's a familiar seal?".

It then hit me that I asked the question at the wrong time.

"You really don't know what a familiar seal is?".

"And you came to haggle for a magical beast? Hmm, intriguing".

Becca looked at me intensely.

She then turned to Sam.

"We don't want any trouble. We just want the cauldez".

"Sorry, Becca! You know the rules".

Her men were already carrying faces of disinterestedness already.

It was like they were ready to abandon me.

"Please let me have it".

I begged in desperation.

"Arrgh, fine. You look so cute when you asked. Come get it".

I was elated at the turn of events.

"Really?".

"Ace, don't go".

It was Becca.

"Come on, don't you want your beast back?".

"It's a trap".

"Offer closes in five seconds".

The countdown put me under pressure on whom to listen to.

"4!".

"Don't listen to him".

"3!".

"Ace, it's a booby-trap".

"2!".

"Ace, listen to me".

"1!".

"And...!".

I quickly rushed over to the other side.

Becca hit her head in disappointment.

"Good boy, come over here".

"Ace, it's not safe".

Becca still took the trouble of informing me of the gravity of my decision.

I slowly walked over to Sam.

"Now, take the cauldez and go".

I was overjoyed to hear this!

As I bent over to carry Jula, Sam grabbed hold of my neck.

He lifted me up and squeezed it so tight that I felt dizzy on few seconds.

"You really think I was gonna let you take it? So foolish".

"Sam, let him go".

"He really believed me. Such an idiot".

It sounded like he was talking more to Becca than to me.

I was choking. I could hardly breathe. I was hearing cracking sounds, like it was from my body.

"Sam, let him go. You're gonna kill him".

"As you wish, your Majesty".

He threw me away effortlessly. I felt a moment of relief.

Soon, gasps of shock filled the air.

I was wondering why when a warm liquid poured on my hands. I looked down at it.

It was my BLOOD!!!

I was stabbed near my shoulder blade by a sharp tree trunk.

As soon as I saw it, I cringed.

"Oops, what do the Americans always say?".

"Collateral damage!!!".

Becca rushed to grab me. Sam hit her hard across the face. She landed hard on the ground.

Soon, the rest of the vampires got berserk with anger!

"How dare you hit me?".

She got up and wiped her mouth.

It then dawned on me. Sam was spoiling for a fight. And he was likely to get one now.

I prayed within me that she wouldn't fall for his cheap tricks.

The next statement shattered my hopes.

"Vampires, attack!!!".

"Wolves, attack!!!".
