Chapter 3 Everything is Ok Pt 2

 Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb.

11:32 pm

Slowly opening his eyes Tyrese wakes up to find himself laying upon a table that had been turned into a makeshift bed.Noticing his hoodie had been taken off he sees he's been wrapped up in bandages around his forearms, torso and chest. Looking around him he sees the room he was in only had one exit and it was the door currently to his left.

Getting off the makeshift bed Tyrese saw his hoodie placed on the back of a chair. Taking it up and putting it back on Tyrese thinks to himself asking "Where am I? All I could remember is being in the air after getting punched".

Widening his eyes in realization of his current situation. Tyrese opens the door to the room and steps outside to see a group of people gathered around a table playing cards. The group look at Tyrese pausing their game and an awkward silence happens as Tyrese and the group of people look at each other.

Tyrese looking around the room while not turning his head away from the group, slowly closes the door going back inside and sits on the chair. "I'm not leaving here of my own free will" Tyrese says to himself.

The door begins to open a few seconds later and stepping into the room, a darkskin tall woman with locs and a muscular toned figure steps in wearing a baggy black Tshirt with a cut Jeans pants and a pair of white sneakers closes the door behind her. The woman walks up to Tyrese and ask him "Are you feeling any better?"

Tyrese replies "Yeah I'm good, where am I?"

The woman tells Tyrese "You're not in a position to be asking questions like that Tyrese Morgan"

Tyrese realizing his ID was looked at becomes more willing to get out alive without making an enemy of these people.

The woman introduces herself to Tyrese as Khora then asking Tyrese why did he pick a fight against Samantha.

Tyrese replies saying "She was the one who rushed in on me first and choked be before I defended myself"

Khora thinks to herself with a face of disappointment "That bitch lied to me again!!"

Khora tells Tyrese that no one is going to hurt him here she'll be sure of it.

The two step out of the room and Tyrese sees two familiar faces one of them was the little girl he had met earlier that day and the other being the woman he was beaten by.

Khora looks at the group and tells them "No one touches our new friend Tyrese or I'll be reducing the number of our family by whoever, got it!"

The entire group unanimously agreed to her orders. Tyrese looks at Khora now knowing she must be the leader, while noting they had no quarrel about her decision she must be the strongest.

Tyrese ask Khora if she isn't mad about him having fought with one of her subordinates. Khora tells Tyrese that he was just merely defending himself against a bully that's all.

Tyrese feeling a need to break the discomfort in the room introduces himself to everyone. One of the men in the group gets up to shake Tyrese's hand. Tyrese outstretched his hand to the man and as he grips his hand is met with a firm grip almost as if it would break that same hand. Khora looks at the man and gives him a stern look making him loosen his grip. "I was just greeting him the traditional way Khora" the man says nervously.

Khora sighs and walks back to the table picking back up her card hand and starts back playing the game. The man introduces himself as Fredrick but tells Tyrese he can call him Rick.

Tyrese says "Nice to meet you but I have to leave now before it gets too late bye"

Fredrick watches as Tyrese leaves and Khora places her arm around Fredrick's shoulder telling him "Keep an eye on him for me"

3:47 am

Tyrese sneaks back into the window and lays in the bed falling asleep just as his head had hit the pillow.

10:34 am

Waking up, Tyrese's injuries has fully healed and he takes off the bandages throwing them away. Walking in the living room Tyrese sees Mr. Daniels sitting on the couch watching the news.

The news reports are about Chimeras and more recent sightings of their territorial disputes aftermath of their fights. Tyrese interested listens in more on what they have to say. The reporter goes on to say that with the increasing danger surrounding Chimeras the SCU(Special Chimera Unit) are establishing a new Headquarters within the city in order to hunt down and get rid of the Chimera that are in hiding.

Tyrese ask Mr. Daniels if he's worried about the Chimeras and Mr. Daniels says he's not as worried as the Chimeras are gonna be with the SCU around. Tyrese tells Mr. Daniels he'll be taking a walk outside, Mr. Daniels tells Tyrese to be safe.

3:04 pm

Tyrese goes to Dimitri's school and waits for it to finish keeping his distance he spies on Dimitri from a nearby building. As Dimitri walks off the school premises Tyrese sees a boy hit Dimitri across his head and bullying him. Dimitri takes the abuse not wanting to get another beating from the boy's brother like last time or worse. The boy gets into a car that picks him up after he was done bullying Dimitri. Dimitri walked to catch the bus and while he did that Tyrese had walked pass Dimitri unnoticed. Tyrese followed the vehicle keeping up with it on foot trying his best to not make it look like he's following it.

The car parks outside of an apartment building. Tyrese uses his enhanced vision to see the driver and sees that both the driver and the boy look alike.

4:17 pm

The car lets off the boy and drives off. Tyrese again begins to follow the vehicle to its next destination.

4:48 pm

The car parks outside a bar and the man who was driving gets out, walking inside the building. An angry Tyrese follows the man, walking up to the doors and taking a deep breath preparing to confront the man kicks down the door to the building.

Everyone within the bar looks towards Tyrese almost confused. Tyrese looks around for the gut who had drove the car on the outside seeing the man sitting at the bar. Tyrese walks up to the man and ask him if he likes beating on children. Confused the man gets up standing 6'5 looking down at Tyrese, he ask Tyrese if he knows where he is right now and Tyrese says "No and I don't care".

Tyrese pushes the man across the room, launching him into the bar counter and destroying the bottles stacked up on the shelves causing them all to fall on the man. The other people in the bar begin to laugh and Tyrese finding it strange they aren't worried or scared of what they just witnessed sees the man get up to his feet brushing off the broken glass. The man's arms begins to be enveloped in the black and red mist dissipating to reveal big bulky bear like arms and claws.

Tyrese now knows why no one was panicking after his show of strength. Tyrese also uses his ability to change his feet into bird feet he prepares to fight against the man with the bear arms.

The man moves with surprising speed catching Tyrese off guard. Tyrese jumps back and leaps forward over the man then uses a sweep kick to cause the man to fall but he uses his arms to push off of the ground and claws at Tyrese chest leaving a huge scratch mark on him.

The man goes in for another attack grabbing Tyrese by the leg and swinging him around, slamming him into the floor and tables all over. After the man was done Tyrese was drenched in his own blood. The man grabs Tyrese by his head and places his other arm on his neck getting ready to pull Tyrese head off, someone taps the man on his shoulder. Looking at the person the man is surprised to see it's Fredrick.

The man drops Tyrese and ask Fredrick "why he is in his territory unwelcomed"

Fredrick replies "We both know you're not the alpha here"

Fredrick looks towards another man who'd been sitting silently across the room who was watching the fight as it amused him asking him "Do you want to go to war with Gi Parks or could we stop this misunderstanding here and now Mr. Ramsey"

Ramsey gets up and everyone made a path for him. Standing at 5'7 looking up at Fredrick who stood at 6'1, the bald headed man with several tattoos covering almost his entire body from head to toe wearing a white vest and pair of tight leather pants and leather boots.

Ramsey says "Your alpha isn't even in this country and you dare think I won't end you right now?"

Fredrick replies while smiling "We both know Gi will be back in a few more weeks, besides if he returns and finds out you caused trouble for the rest of us he'll bring a new meaning to hell on earth won't he?"

Ramsey smiling in return tells Fredrick to take what he came for and leave. Fredrick then picks up the now barely conscious Tyrese and walks out the bar.
