Chapter 19

I walked out of the house and met mom and dad with Arden on the porch. I placed my sunglasses over my face.

"What's with the sunglasses? It's not even daylight." Arden said

"It makes me look cool," I responded.

"Are you ready for your fifth fight?" Mom asked.

I looked at her and smiled. "I miss doing this, you know, dad...we can never be a normal family because we are not one."

"I agree," Dad said. "So, where is the wendigo located now?" He asked.

The book started to float, and we followed it in the direction it was taking us. We walked through the woods.

"Where exactly is this thing taking us?" Arden asked in anger. "I'm so hungry."

Mama looked at him. "You could have eaten the spaghetti left for you in the kitchen."

Arden looked at me. He knew I'm the only one who knows he still feeds on blood and not normal human food.

Suddenly, the book stopsped and we heard the rumble from a distance. The thing sounded angry. Very angry.

We moved forward a bit to observed it. It was trying to break the barrier.

"I don't think it wants to stay here," Mom said, taking a step forward. Dad drew her back.

"It's being controlled and it will break the barrier if we don't stop it fast," I said as I drew my sword out. "Mom, try to make it focus on you so I can attack from the back," I whispered.

"Okay, sweetie," Mom said as she went behind the wendigo. "No you don't!" she yelled at it and the wendigo focused on her. "What do I do now?" she lookedat me, whispering.

"Don't look at me, it will suspect." I whispered back, but it was late now. The wendigo already looked in my direction and almost hits me, but Arden raised his sword at it and took me out of the way. "Thanks, mom, you almost killed me."

"At least remove the glasses and don't complain." She threw her hands in the air.

"Ah, guys, please stop complaining and come help me. This thing is too strong," Arden said as he tried to keep his balance.

I stepped forward, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw a punch at its face. It growled again. Louder this time. It held Arden up and roared. Dad raised his sword and cuts one of its hands and the wendigo dropped Arden to the ground.

It roared as it cried in pain. I could feel it, but it had to go or more people die.

Instead of looking who had cut off its arms. It tried to save itself from us by hitting the barrier again and again. I was sure that if it gives it one more hit, the barrier that held the demons from coming into the human world would fall apart.

"Come get me, bitch!" I yelled and threw it fallen arms at it. I was able to grab his attention now. "You want a fight? I will give you a fight."

I started to run into the woods as it started to follow me. There seem to be many traps in the woods. It didn't see the ropes in front of it, so it mistakenly stepped on one.

The rope held its legs together, bringing it to the ground. I couldn't get myself to feed on its bleeding body. I'm not a monster. Even though my fangs were forcing their way out to feed on it, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Without any second thought, I pierced the dagger through it's heart as I heard it's last cry before silence took place.

It turned into ash and faded away.
