Chapter 197: The Monster Of Jueanu High {2}
Is he being serious right now? Did he just say that like so sport? Direct, relentless, and with no room for question, He’s actually serious! Does this an...
"What are you?" I asked in a low, careful tone. He must be sothing because no human could possibly say he wanna hunt that monster, I an has he even seen what he intends to kill? He must be crazy!
"Do I look abnormal to you?"
Well yes! His presence and everything about him was always inviting
and making
feel things I can’t explain, keeping
on edge with continuous riddles around him, at least part of it was settled but it was yet to compromise in my brain.
"You’re here for sothing," I said.
"The Monster"
"Are you a monster hunter or sothing?" I huffed just at the thought of it but I backtracked, really Emma you’re living in a supernatural world, of course, there would be hunters, but I have never heard anything about it, Vanessa never ntioned there were hunters none Dace.
He was silent, he didn’t answer my question, just watching
with those green eyes that flooded , making
nervous because of the unsettling feeling it gave
that didn’t settle with . I should take that as a yes then, what else am I supposed to think?
Here I was with so monster hunter, was it even legal for his age?
"Are you normal?" he asked
back, he wasn’t expecting
to tell him the truth now, would I? What if he hunts for
too? Well, it seed like he just needed to hear from , that was what he sought... like he was also trying to convince himself that I’m not sothing to hunt. Why?
"Do I look abnormal to you?"
He huffed, retreating his knife to his body, I had no idea where it disappeared to. "Only your annoying gaze is"
"What’s wrong with my gaze?" I was offended now, anyone who had an annoying gaze was his.
"Hey!" he snapped at
and I tensed again. "You’re not the first I would tell what my purpose is, but if you want to get out of here alive with your boyfriend and your friend I suggest you keep this to yourself, do we have an understanding?"
I doubt it, because if Grayson is really what he is... then I knew there was no way I would let him find out about Dace, he might be on his list. I gave a nod.
"Now tell
where you last separated from your friends"
"T-The other hallway"
"Tell
did you see sothing aside from what attacked you"
I narrowed my eyes. "W-What do you an?"
He set his crossbow. "Because there are two beasts here"
Oh no... the other was Dace.
*Profound Growl*
It ca sharply and it vibrated the entire table in the classroom. I knew that growl, it was that thing I saw and it was on the move.
"Stay close to , I find your friend then you get out of here"
"No!" I said quickly, too fast and he narrowed his eyes at
suspiciously. "I-I an I can’t go with you... I don’t trust you, you might be so monster hunter but how do I know you’re not bluffing" I should find anything I could use right now because if I follow him and he finds Dace in his form I knew what will happen, I didn’t want to think about it and it was too sudden but I knew the mont he sets his eyes on Dace that crossbow will pierce my boyfriend and there’s no way in hell I’m letting that happen.
"Are you being serious right now?"
I folded my arms and had so sort of courage slipping through , I was super thankful that it did because I really needed it right now. "Yes... because for all I know all this could be so ga"
"G-Ga?" he was forced to stamr at my words. "You think I’m here for a joke?"
"Yes," I shrugged. "Which is why I’m staying here until I find a way to reach the authorities, I’m not about to let myself jump into my death with you, you’re crazy"
"C-Crazy?"
"Hmm!" Maybe I’m going too far but I can’t help it. I was almost amused seeing his bewildered gaze for it was the first to see such from him besides his unreadable eyes, he didn’t expect I would say all this well. I have my reason.
*Loud Crash Sound*
It ca swiftly and unpredictably... it got
ducking my head from the spill of broken glass around the classroom like a storm, sothing just broke in! So I shifted my gaze and thankfully I settled my eyes on the monster that attacked us, baring its fangs like an incoming rage. I was relieved that it wasn’t Dace because I knew what it ant but right now I’m scared shitless, we are gonna die!
"A Manticore?"
"A what?" His description of this creature caught
off guard but I was unable to relay my thoughts when the Manticore pounced on us and I scread but suddenly it was pulled backward like an unseen force, well not a force but by the three arrows Grayson shot at it, three arrows? How did he do that so fast?
The Manticore plunged against the wall creating a crack.
"Now do you believe ?"
"Are you seriously asking
that right now?!" I almost scread at him but my voice was high pitched because the Manticore roared at us once again, that thing had three arrows in its damn body so how was it still standing?
"Shit!" Grayson cursed and I knew we were screwed.
The air was blown out of my lung when it wagged its butt and like the sound of a whip the tail ca at . I watched with wide eyes as it zapped at , the snake tail of the Manticore hissing at
showing
that needle canines of it as well as its hollow mouth ready to bite my head off, or so I thought.
Just a foot away from my face Grayson caught the neck of the snake with his bare hands...
