Will he get caught?

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT


CHRIS

I climbed on my bike and drove straight to Tyson's house, I ignored the cool night breeze, it was dark a d the lights on my bike supported my view.

I got to Tyson's place, and parked in front of his house, I opened the door gently and walked straight inside, he was already dressed up and waiting for me to come over.

"I am sorry for the delay", I said immediately I settled in.

"It is fine, shall we leave now?" He replied and I wondered why Tyson of all people let my lateness slide without even uttering a word about it.

"Are we going in my bike or?" I asked him.

"It really doesn't matter, some werewolves will get caught tonight", he said and I was confused.

"What do you mean by some werewolves will get caught tonight?" I asked him.

"Nevermind that dear, Avril's parents won't stop until they capture at least three of four werewolves this night", he replied.

We climbed on my bike and drove straight to the mountain, it was a long and tiring journey even though we only sat on the bike until we got there. I came to a full halt, parked my bike in front of the mountain, I used a chain to hold it so it would not move and then we walked over to the mountain and started climbing.

It was very difficult, we needed our claws, Tyson and I could not climb the rock wearing our slippers so we had taken it off, and tied it around our waist.

We struggled to climb the mountain, or shoul I say I, because it doesn't seem one bit as if Tyson was struggling to climb up there.

We used our claws, both hands and toes to support ourselves as we climbed up the highest part of the mountain.

It was really difficult for me, yet I was determined, I tried not to miss my step, because I knew any slight mistake I would crash to the floor and have all my bones broken. I feared for that and counted my steps carefully following after Tyson slowly, he was way far from me, I was a bit lower, than he was, I followed his steps, placed my hands were he had placed his, my toes weren't an exemption.

This was part of the training I needed, it was becoming fun, and I wished Avril was here, it would be more fun if she was here. And even better fun, if the she squad had come along, I couldn't wait for the night to be over so I could tell Avril about my experience.

Tyson and I finally got to the top of the mountain, even though he got there some ten minutes before me, we got there at exactly the right time, the full moon was already out.

We stretched our arms out in the air, opened our mouth widely and looked directly in the moon for sometime. Afterwards we let out a loud groan, we could also hear other werewolves groaning from different parts of the bush, we could also hear some from their houses.

I heard a special werewolf groaning, that was Avril's voice, I felt my heart flutter at the sound of her voice. There was something special about her voice, not it because I was in love with her, I could feel some hidden and un explored powers in her voice, and I wondered why no one else had noticed.


Chris and I started practicing, he was teaching me different fighting skills, he also helped me explore some special werewolf powers I could use during the full moon, he thought me about how I could control my speed, he also ran around the slippery parts of the mountain using his toe claws as support.

That part really got me and I fell to the floor with a big crash each time I tried. Tyson would help me up and ask me to try again, but I fell down over and over again until I finally gave up.

Tyson and I decided to have some rest, he started telling me stories about his family. He sounded so sad as he talked about them, the sadness was very obvious in his voice and I felt really bad for him.

"So you had such a lovely werewolf family, no wonder you are this way. They raised such a good son, I am sure they must be proud of you by now", I said.

"They don't have a choice you know.. it just hurts so bad that the werewolf hunters took them away from me, I have only lived in the memory since then", he replied.

"You are such a nice person Tyson, you parents did a really good job here", I said and he smiled.

"You have no idea Chris", he replied.

"Right?" I asked and he nodded with a smile.

"So the me something Chris, anything", he said.

"My family is nothing to write home about so I wouldn't want to talk about them", I replied.

"At least you should be glad you have one", he said and I nodded.

"I heard from Avril, there are informants giving information about us to her parents", I said trying to change the topic and I couldn't explain the nervousness on Tyson's face that followed.

"Are you sure about what you have just said?" Tyson asked, the nervousness still written all over his voice, and I nodded in affirmation.

"Do you think is one of us? I mean do you think the informant would be among the squad members?" Tyson asked.

"I really do not know that, I don't", I replied.

Tyson was about to say another word when an helicopter pulled out in front of us, the mountain top was really wide so it could contain the small helicopter without any stress.

Even in the dark, I could recognise the helicopter so well, it was Avril's parent's, they used it for business. I was too foolish and forgot completely about it, I really don't expect them to come here with their helicopters.

Tyson and I jerked up to our feets, my mind traveled places in split seconds, the door went wide open and Avril's parent's alighted from it.

They had their bows and arrow in their hands, and they started shooting towards us. I turned around to ask Tyson what the next step was but he was gone, my heart sank intiy stomach, there was no escape root for me.

I looked down the other end of the mountain and their was a big sea there. Thoughts of jumping into it flashed through my mind, but then I chickened out, at the thought of getting killed by the wide aquatic animals there.

I made to run, but I was too slow already, I had taken too much time trying to make a decision and Avril's parent's had covered a reasonable amount of distance.

They shot their arrow on my leg, it was obviously poisoned, it weakened my whole system immediately and I fell to the floor with a big thud.

I could hear their footsteps behind me, it was getting closer and closer and my heart was racing like a running cheeter. I knew immediately I had to act quickly else I'd get caught and I didn't need a soothsayer to telle what would happen next.
