Solar Run, Alfredo Ibarra III [suggested reading txt] 📗

top student at school, and the second oldest of the family. Toby was the quarterback star of the whole city. He was the oldest, and he was also smart, maybe he copied from Lenny. I didn’t wanna know about Jared, all I know is that he is the third oldest. Ashely, is Lenny’s twin, she was “hottest girl in school” Not in my opinion, Mira was way better.

“Hey Jake, is that who I think it is?” Nicky said

“Who?” I asked

I turned to see who was Nicky talking about. Then, I saw him. Tall, buff, and was coming right to me. Markus, my Junior High best friend. I hadn’t seen him since the eighth grade. By the looks of it he has grown. He grew a lot. He had very tanned skin, hair was long and wavy. It reached all the way to his eyes. His long slender body, was completely ripped. His eyes seem as if they were aimed right at me. Not me, my hand. His muscles were clearly visible through his thin white shirt, and his old worned down jeans fit his “I don’t care” look. “Ahhhh" I yelped. A sharp pain hit my my hand. I dropped to my knees, the pain was unbelievable. I look at my hand, and something was craved into my hand. I finally saw what shape it was. It was a crescent moon. I looked up to see Markus, then all I saw was darkness. I blacked out.

It felt like I was flying, I was going to fast to be normal. Was I in a car? No, i felt the air around me. I didn’t know where I was, or where I was going. I wasn’t thinking straight. Then I saw her again. My mom, she was right in front of me. She put her hands on my face.

“Jake, please stay true to yourself, and go after what you want” She whispered in my ear.

“I will mom” I answered back.

“Stay true to yourself” She said before fading.

Then someone shook me awake. I opened my eyes to five huge guys, standing half naked. I looked around. I was deep in the forest. Then I saw Markus he was on the side of the tallest guy.

“Who are you guys? Why did you bring me here?” I asked gaining my breath back

“I'm very sorry from bringing you in such sort notice” The one in the middle said

I stayed quiet, and stared at them, they were all wearing the same thing. Worned down jeans, that all. Have any of them heard of shirts?

“Im Dan, Jake you have a purpose in this world. We all do, without us there would be no balance. They would takeover.” He said

“Who would take over?” I asked with sudden interest

“Vampires” the one far off to the side said

“Vampires? You got to be kidding me?” I said with a smirk

“This is no joke, this is real Jake, vampires exist. There strong, fast, and dangerous. They could kill you without even thinking about it. There cold blooded murders.” Markus said

“Well if there so dangerous, how can you stop them?” I asked

“Cris show him” Dan ordered

The one off to the sided nodded, then his eyes turned yellow. Then he exploded. In the same spot where he was, a monstrous wolf appeared.

“Holy crap? What the hell? Where did he go, and what is this wolf?”

The wolf stared at me, the yellow eyes, the same eyes that Cris had before he disappeared. That’s when it came to me. I finally understood.

“Oh hell’s to the no!” I yelled “I'm no wolf!”

“Im sorry if this isn’t what you want Jake, but you have been marked already” Dan said.

“What mark! I haven’t been marked at all!” I screamed.

“Look at your hand” Markus said.

Then I remembered. The crescent moon on my palm. I could still feel the sting. Could this be real? Can I really be apart of this all? If I was, I didn’t want any part of it. I didn’t want to hunt vampires. I wanted a normal life, after all I had been through at least I deserved. Nope not for me, I was going to a huge mutt, and hunt down vampires. Figures.

“I'm sorry, none of us wanted this, but we make the best of it” Dan tried to confront me.

“No....I don’t believe any of this” I whispered

Then something clicked in my head, Markus, he was staring at my hand. He did this to me. He ruined my already messed up life. How can I be with Mira as a dog. I hated it all. I hated him. I hated him, for doing this. He made me a monster. If it was all true I was sure to kill him myself. Even if I wasn’t sure if this all true. There anger in me, so much anger I had to let it out. Then I look right at Markus. Then I tackled him. He rammed right to the tree. I grabbed him by his throat.

“You did this! You made me apart of this!” I screamed at his face

He didn’t do anything just stared into my eyes like if they were amazing. A deep burning feeling ran down my spine. All in my head was hate, anger, and pain. My father filled my head. All the pain he brought me. Everything that made me hurt, came out. Then I just exploded.

Everything looked so different, so detailed. I felt things I had never felt before, the feeling was both good, and bad. Then I looked at them. Well not them, only him. Markus. He was in close range, it sounded like I growled at him.

“Oh shit” I heard Markus say

Then I saw him trying to phase. In this form, I knew I would lose. I didn’t give him any time. I pounced on him, a bit anything I could. I didn’t think, I just let the wolf do what it wanted. For some reason it also wanted revenge.

I howled, because I felt the others bite me. They pulled me away, and let Markus phase.

Jake calm down, you got to learn how to control it
