Chapter 7- Life Lessons
I woke up feeling great today…I pulled back the covers and slid out of bed, smiling. I felt like wearing dark colors today, so I will wear my black tank top and black cargo pants. I looked through my drawer and found something I never thought I would find. It was a picture of me and Jamie when we first met. We were only 10 years old when met, so happy to be friends…and yet now we are officially enemies, born to fight each other.
I slid the picture under my clothes and closed the dresser. I walked straight to the shower and went in. I washed my hair and blow-dried it, and put my black tank and my cargo pants on…I smelled something…it smelled like…wet dog. I jumped up and looked behind me. Nothing. I sighed. Maybe I am imagining things. Oh well. I ran downstairs to the kitchen. I smelled moms blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. When I opened the door Marichuyo was there standing in front of it. “Marichuyo…” I whispered. He bent down and whispered to me “we have to talk. Meet me near the playground.” He walked past me and out the door. My mom turned around and said “What was that about Kairoyo?” she said confused. “I will tell you later mom.” I said sitting down at the table. I grabbed a piece of toast, some strips of bacon, and a few scoops of scrambled eggs and started to eat. After eating and talking with the family, my brother pulled me from the table and led me into the living room. “ hey what did Marichuyo say to you Kairoyo?” he said looking at me concerned. “He wants to meet me at the playground so we can talk.” I said looking at Samutoyo. “No way your going alone Kairoyo. He might try to have sex with you in the slide or something else perverted.” He said grinning. My brother meant well but sometimes he was a real pain in the butt. He told me to wait in the car, and fasten my seatbelt. I went to car and sat down in it. I fastened my seat belt. I smelt something again and this time it was really close. Something put its hand over my mouth. It was Austin. I licked his hand, and he jerked away. “Why in the hell do you keep following me?!” I whispered angrily. “look I heard about what happened between you and Jamie…I was just following you so you would join us…its what Jamie wanted…” he whispered back. I looked at Austin with eyes of concern. Austin waved and disappeared. I felt guilty now. We soon got to the playground where Marichuyo wanted me to meet him. “Hello Samutoyo and Kairoyo. I figured you would come too Samutoyo that’s why I whispered it to Kairoyo so you would be suspicious.” He said smiling. Me and Samutoyo looked at each other in surprise. For a 16 year old boy, that was a pretty smart thing to do. We sat down on both sides of Marichuyo on the swings and listened to what he had to tell us. “Since the big fight between you and Jamie Kairoyo, the werewolf clan has decided to take its best members to come and destroy you.” He said looking at me. My brother stood up and yelled “Not before I kill them!” “Listen Samutoyo, we can work together to protect Kari-“ “No. I can protect myself.” I said interrupting there argument. They both looked at me in surprise. Marichuyo looked at my brother for an answer. My brother put his hand on my shoulder and says to me “Kairoyo if you think you can handle 15 werewolves by yourself then go ahead.” I felt sick to my stomach now…15 werewolves all by myself…I don’t think I can do that…I barely even know anything about being a vampire. “ Uh I actually think I might need help with this.” I said laughing. They both grinned knowing as if I was going to say that. We all came to an agreement to help me train for 17 days in order to be a good fighter and learn to become faster, If I wanted to destroy a werewolf I basically had to BE a werewolf. I decided I would walk home instead of going with my brother, besides he had to stop by his girlfriend Marissa’s house and I didn’t want to sit there and watch them make out. For some odd reason I kept taking big steps watching my feet as I did, I used to do that a lot but why that weird habit came back…I have no idea. I kept feeling as if I was in a scary movie, being stalked to be the next victim of murder. This time I started taking small steps and watching the sky as I did, was I going nuts? I still had the feeling that I was being stalked not knowing what would probably happen next. I fell to my knees and regurgitated. My breakfast was now all over the sidewalk. What made me throw-up? I smelt wet dog again. I saw a dark shadow loom over me. I looked over my shoulder and saw Misyugo. He grabbed me by the arm and put his arm under my neck. …I felt nothing.
