City of Blood by George Thomas (robert munsch read aloud .TXT) 📕

Once we got to the roof we ran into some company there was about two dozen or so wolves all armed with guns waiting for us. Everything seemed hopeless at that point. The one that said his name was Alexander pushed though the crowd of wolves.

He pointed his finger at me and said, "Leave him alive but the rest you can kill."

I pushed my men away and said, "Run."

They started to argue but then i forced myself to transform they looked at me like i was monster.

"RUN!" i screamed and they all took off leaping from building to building.

 Alexander began laughing, "You have no clue why you of all people survived that experiment where dozens have not. Your parents began giving you cell enhancements since before you where born. They wanted you their 'daring boy' to lead a new race of beings into the future."

"I don't care what you say all i know is i'm going to kill you. Before you can ruin more people's lives."

"Such a shame you held so much promise. Kill him."

They all opened fire at the same time hundreds of bullets slamed into me at once. I put my arms in front of my face to protect my head from of them. The bullets hurt and they were coming so fast my body couldn't heal fast enough to keep up. When their clips emptied they seemed surprised that i stood up and began to charge.

I was a beast no real attacks just wild uncontroled rage fueled my attacks. They couldn't react fast enough to keep up with me. Alexander tired to get them to do something but they were  scared i could smell their fear as i cut though them one after the other.

Soon it was just me and him. He stood there shaking on the edge of the roof with no where to go.

"Please i only wanted to help both the races and ensure their future. Please don't kill me i beg you." he said trying to keep from falling over the side.

I slowly walked up to him he kept saying, "Please don't."

Once we were face to face i grabbed his arm and broke it. He yelled with pain and almost fell over the side but i grabbed him and threw into the center of the roof.

He began crawling for the door that led to the stairs. I came from behind him and stepped on his leg digging the claws on my foot into his bones. He yelled in pain again and rolled over onto his back and looked me in the eyes.

"It seems that you have become no better then us wolves you hate so much that you hunter for most of your life." he said laughing.

I was about to kill him when i seen Amy running from the door on the other side of the door.

I looked at her and she took a step back. I put my hand out but she just looked at me strangely.

Then Alexander looked at her and said, "Ah just in time for you to see what we turned your boyfriend into young lady."

She looked into my eyes and said, "Mike is... is that you."

"Yes that's him. Go ahead Mike show her what you are, show her the monster that you have become. Show her what you'll be until the day you die."

I looked down at him and wanted to rip his throat out so much it hurt. But then someone put their hand on my shoulder. I looked up and me and Amy where face to face now. She was crying when she said, "Don't let go of who you are."

"Young lady that is who he really is he just tired to hide it from you. Deep inside he's a monster just like me."

She kicked him in the face and he passed out. Then she held my hand and said, "If you are in there please come back don't give in."

I feel to my knees trying to push myself to the surface trying to bring myself out of the rage that had taken control of me. She held me in her arms and saying it over and over. Slowly i began to transform back into myself until she was holding me in her arms. She rapped me up in her jacket and we sat there.

"How did you know where i was?"

"When you didn't come home i got worried. I seen the address on your lay out sheet and came here. When i heard all the shooting i thought it was you."

"It wasn't me it was all them. I couldn't stop myself i was consumed by rage and couldn't stop," I looked at her and asked, "How did you know i wasn't gone?"

"I didn't but love always finds a way."

After the whole wolf thing calmed down me and Amy moved into the country. I was no longer welcome in the clan seeing how i seemed more wolf then vampire I didn't mind it though. Brandon moved with us i believe his words were 'someone has to keep an eye on you both'. Alexander was killed do to all the crimes he did. The humans turned wolf were aloud to live their lives as long as they followed the rules given by the clan. Me and Amy still deal with problems from time to time with our transformations but we deal with them together as a team.

Not long after moving we got married it wasn't much just me, her, and Brandon my grandfather stopped by for about an hour just so he could hold it over my head.

He pulled me off to the side and told me he was proud of the man i had become and if i ever needed anything he would do his best.

About seven months after the wedding Amy gave birth to two healthy girls, about a year later she also gave birth to a boy. We named them Mary, Cheyenne, and Mike Jr. we try to give them a normal life but it doesn't always work out. When they transform and start ripping apart the couches its a job in its self to stop them. Brandon loves having them around he says 'its easier to deal with them then it is you two' but me and Amy don't mind. Every weekend we all go out for picnics near a lake and enjoy the water.

Every day we go out walking in the woods everything is always so peaceful in the woods. Now and then they bring us weird things they call "gifts", like snakes, rabbits, and once a dog that they wanted to keep as a pet which to me seemed kinda funny given we were all part canine. But we made them return everything they ever caught.

We always tell them that all life is specail and everything should live where it belongs. Which also means us we belong together as a family.

But i'm always on guard because i've known all to well that something may happen when you least expect it to.

 That there may be someone looking to destory me and my family.

The End.
