7 Afterwards

It has been three days since they tried to excicute me. Even though I talked my way out of being killed they still had to keep an eye on me, since I was so dangerous to kill a werewolf single handedly. My uncle Frank took me in. He and his daughter Avery were happy to let me stay there again after I left so suddenly 3 years ago. My uncle's wife Liza killed herself just a few weeks after arriving at the compound. This world is shitty beyond measures.

I'm sitting on the balcony overhead the court yard were a few people were busy working out or learning how to fight I didn't really care. Guess boredom brought me here.

Eric: Hey. What's up.

Jack: Nothing much. Just enjoy the view.

Eric had two mugs of coffee in his hands. For one of the few guards that where assigned to watch over me he has been more friendly than the others.

Eric: Why don't you join them? The people that are training down there I mean.

Jack: I don't know. They were kind of routing for me to be killed a few days ago.

Eric moved in closer and place his hand my shoulders. He is taller then me and more muscular even through his thick gaurd uniform.

Eric: That wasn't them. It was Sander. Ever since he became in charge things has become on edge here.

His comment intreged me and so did it Kevin how I could feel coming to the surface.

Jack: Sounds like you might be against his status as leader.

Eric: No, don't get me wrong I am not challenging him. He is a really great leader. Less people have died here ever since he took over. He gave these people hope, where as David, the leader before got so depressed that he too killed himself like the others....

Kevin: Jeap Jeap Jeap. What is he going on about now? I think he likes to here his own voice.

Trying to cut out Kevin a smile unstoppably creeped onto my face from his remarks.

Eric saw the smile and gave a quick smile back before he stopped explaining his reasons of whatever it was.

Jack: Sorry I just thought of something funny.

Eric just gave a smile back. Just then two other guards came in through the door.

Guard: Sanders wants to see our new guest.

.....

We arrived at the room where Sanders was waiting for me. With the two guards behind me and Eric just slightly behind me.

Sanders: You may leave.

Sanders said to the guards around me and soon there after all of them left the room leaving me and Sanders alone. The room is big with a large round table in the center. On the table was a map of the city and a few chess pieces positioned at varies place on the map.

Sanders: Jack. The wolf slayer.(sarcastically)

I remained quiet as a just kept staring at him waiting for him to come to the reason why he called me here.

Sanders: It has been three days since the incident.

Jack: Do you mean the attempted excicusion.

Sanders stopped and began to think about my words.

Sanders: Yes. The excicusion. Well sorry about that. However I did bring you here to tell you that you are going to have to start pulling your weight around here. It's part of the compound rules.

Sanders gave me a stare telling me that he still has power over me. It seems as if he still would have me dead if it were to be so.

Sanders: So I have decided to put you into the juvenile training program.

Jack: Whats that?

Sanders: Well for starters it is a program that is going to teach you how to fight and defend you from the supernatural when you go out with the tropes on missions.

Jack: And what if I refuse?

Sanders: Then we will be back to excicuting you.

Jack: But why do I have to join the program. I killed a werewolf.

Saying that ly again felt harder to do, because I knew that I literally don't know shit fighting a werewolf. Kevin and I just got lucky.

Sanders: Já about that. I don't believe you. Your story was great very convincing for the people but I think that your full of shit. I think you simply just got lucky. So there will be nou descusion on it. Your going to the program and be a symbol of hope for the other people. Leave and please do disobey my orders.

I quickly stormed out of there where I found Eric chatting with a girl that seemed to be falling all over him. I turned the other way and started walking to Frank's house.

Kevin: I told you to become leader, but no. You thought you were smart and look were we are now.

Jack: Shut up!

Eric: Wow. Chill. What happened in there?

Eric must have seen me and began to follow. He then followed me into the house.

Jack: Your leader wants me to join the juvenile training program.(anger)

Eric: So what is the problem?

Jack: He is! He just wants to get rid of me. Making look like I am a criminal with all the you guards watching me. He wants me dead and he still wants it.

I start going through my closet.

Eric: What are you doing?

Jack: What does it look like. I am leaving.

Eric: No!

Eric came in and grabbed my hands and made me leave my clothes.

Jack: What are you doing.

Eric: You can't leave. You will be treated as a disirter and be killed.

Jack: I think I will make it out.

Eric at a lost of words begins to think through his thoughts, while I went and continued with packing. Then suddenly he grabs me by my forearm as I wanted to make my way past him to get something.

Eric: Maybe that is what he wants. He wants you dead doesn't he? Maybe he already has people wanting for you to run just so that they can kill you.

I ripped my arm from his grip and went to get the thing I needed.

Eric: Shit it also meens that I have to take you in.

Jack: What?

Eric: I am one of his guards. I suppose to be watching over you and if you leave I will be excicute for letting you go.

Jack: Só what now are you going to stop me.

Eric's face became serious.

Eric: If I have too.

Then he began to move closer. He grabbed my arm and ripped the bag from my hands. I then threw a punch towards his face but he grabbed my fist mid air. He them threw me back flying onto the bed in my room. He then took the bag and pour its contents back into the closet. I went over to try and stop him. Tackling him down to the floor is what I had in mind. He intisipated my attack and quickly pinned me under him.

Jack: Get of me!

He didn't move. Mean while I saw Kevin also in the room just watching me.

Jack: Why won't you help me?

Eric: Because you are being irrational and stupid.

Although I meant to say that to Kevin, Eric thought I was taking to him. It was clear that Eric had the upper hand here and there was no way that I could get myself out of this.

Eric: Why can't you just listen to what Sanders told you to do. He is not a bad guy. He did spare you after you told him you killed a werewolf.

Jack: Get of me.

Eric: Do you know how lucky and brave you are to have done that. Most of us would freeze of fear on the spot.

Jack: Sanders would rather want me dead.

Eric: He wouldn't have let you stay if he did. He is genuinely....

Jack: I lied.

Eric: What?

Eric grib on me softened.

Jack: I lied and if Sanders found out he would have me killed.

Eric: What?...
