IN LOVE WITH A WEREWOLF

Wolves and bats are very exceptional in all aspects, calm and reserved they are, though different but very similar. Blood thirsty and nature’s friend they are; they never cross path not because they are enemies but because they never had the chance to, but what happens if both animals DNA comes in contact with that of a man? Will they become enemies or coexist? This is a story of a werewolf and a vampire, a creation that was never meant to be.

Far across the coast of Atlanta, Georgia, USA lives a man named Sam, Sam happened to be a scientist driven with his aim of creating hybrids out of wolves and bats despite knowing fully well that the US government won’t allow such experiment to go on; so he left Washington and settled in Atlanta for his experiment away from the eyes to see.

Sam happens to be in his mid-forties but as a kid who read a lot of paranormal stories, he dreamt of making one. Wanting to make this bizarre dream of his come true despite knowing his license would be seized if anything goes wrong still went ahead with his experiment.

Although, Sam had had several failed results but never gave up in his dream, believing so much in the supernatural coupled with the fact that with science, you can make anything, he kept his hopes up and never frail.

One day, he decided to use another dimension after studying the wolf and bats for several years, he took the DNA samples of both and then had a compatibility test done. Happy and satisfied he got a favorable result, he decided to try out the wolf DNA on him first, knowing fully well that getting an extra hand would most probably land him in jail and so he couldn’t take chances.

Injecting himself with the DNA sample of the wolf, he shivered, having a seizure and fell to the ground unable to move. Unfortunately for him, he got paralyzed from it for three days while the substance was busy finding its way in his system to settle.

Devastated as to what had happened to him, Sam cried but then his tears were short lived when on the night of the fourth day, he was able to get himself back up. Thinking his experiment was a total fail, he shut down the process and went back to Washington taking with him the test tube containing the DNA of the bat. He landed Washington and drove straight to his home and was welcomed by his wife Mitchell and his two kids.

Everything seems to go on just fine as he went back to his normal life like nothing ever happened. Now Sam has a lab in his house where he carries out minor experiment, a lab his son and daughter uses as well. Sam hid the test tube in a safe in there, not wanting his kids to get their hands on it.

Unfortunately for him, the day he was working on one of his test and got the tube out but forgot to hide it again, something happened that changed his life forever.

His daughter was about eight years of age and just like her dad and brother, she loved science a lot. On her spare time, she did some experiments of her own and has also watched her dad while he did his and often times has seen him inject himself with some certain liquid; asked severally but he never told her why.

On that fateful day, she went to the basement, straight to the lab in search of her dad but instead found the test tube containing the DNA of the bat. Remembering what her dad does, she thought it would be nice to try it out and so injected herself with it and replaced it with something else so her dad doesn’t notice. Dizzy, she staggered on and managed to get to room and lay down

Fast forward to four years later, the little girl is of age. She was sleeping peacefully but suddenly like a flash, her hearing increased, thought it was just a loud stereo from her brother’s room, she got up and walked straight to his room but found no one there and the stereo was off as well.

Flabbergasted about the situation and tried covering her ears with foams but that couldn’t stop it, her vision was automatically sharpened as well and her smell increased as she could smell the scent of blood miles away. Pleading for it to stop but then it didn’t, she ran out of the house towards the street and was almost hit by a car and suddenly she collapsed.

She was taken to the hospital and her family contacted about her whereabout and she was picked up by her mom. Her dad came around when she has been taken home and she welcomed him saying he stinks. He took it as a joke but continuously said he stinks and this was not funny anymore.

She automatically stopped talking to her dad and separated herself from him. Sam confused about his daughter’s behavior decided to sit her down and speak to her but yet again got the same reaction from her and this time with a slap on the face when she said she doesn’t like the smell of dogs that they stinks.

Mitchell angry about her daughter’s words, gave her a big slap but the young girl wasn’t moved but instead left angrily. Up in her room one cool afternoon while her parent were down in the living room and her mom in the kitchen. Mistakenly, Mitchell cut her hand and just like a spark, Leah their daughter who was up in her room rose up to the smell of blood and like a flash came towards her mother just to have a suck. Scared by what was happening as Liam her son and her husband tries to stop their daughter but instead making a huge mess and Liam is the first to get infected as Leah bite him so hard that took some of his flesh out.

She didn’t stop as she continued her feast on him while her dad tried stopping her but got a surge instead and immediately his claws came out, which drew attention of the others to him. Everyone began to watch in horror as Sam transformed into a werewolf and gave a loud howl into the air.

Snaring and snapping at Liam that was on the floor and his wife as he got ready to have a feast also. Leah snapped back and growled at him as well while Mitchell took Liam away gently. It’s weird having a father daughter fight or should I say a werewolf - vamp fight, coming face to face with each other.

As the growls continued and Mitchell took Liam away and hid in the basement, a loud bang was heard and the house shook.

The first werewolf and vamp fight just begun in my house. Leah was fast and I was as well, tall enough to squash this tiny being in front of me but she wasn’t going to give in so easily. In just a flicker, she jumped and landed straight on my shoulders, biting and tearing off every part of my wolf as I screamed in pains, struggling to get her off me. Unable to do that, I ran into walls and then breaking down the door of the house till finally she flew off me, and I howl again into the wind preparing for another round of fight as we growl and snared at each other. Those around began to run for their dear lives while others hid in a corner and took pictures and videos of what was happening. About charging toward her, she sniffed blood again and off she ran as fast as she could in hyper-speed, barging in from house to house while they screamed and ran out meeting me, off I went as well, it’s a good time to feast. I found an older lady who ran straight into me, stealthily, I pounced on her, giving her several scratched on her face and finally was able to dig into her chest and rip off her heart and my mouth dripped with blood. Taking few more rounds, I was exhausted and others, I only gave a bite here and there.

You could see bodies on the floor of the street, some with ripped heart, others with bites. It was a bloodbath. Almost the entire houses were broke into. I ran into the nearby woods and howled and kept running till I got to a river while Leah was nowhere to be found. Apparently my little girl had left to God knows where.The incident went viral, of course I wasn’t identified because I was in my wolf but my daughter’s was so glaring and she was sought after. News men came, the police and other investigation teams came but couldn’t find a trace of anything or any clue. Ambulances were called upon and they took away dead bodies that littered Pivate street.

The investigation continued as the neighbors locked themselves in their houses, afraid of what might become of them if they go out. The street became automatically dried that day. The next morning, I came back home only to find the streets dried up, i wondered what happened as I had no recollection of what had happened. I went to my house only to find my door broken, scared of what could have happened, I searched for my wife and kids, calling out to them but couldn’t find nor hear a word from them; I was worried and decided to check the basement. Lo and behold, I found them. My son had died and my wife was completely down, unable to get herself.

Quickly, I went to her and she flinched in fear and shock to see me.

“stay away from me,” she yelled and I was confused why.

“stay away!!,” she yelled again as I drew closer to her. She got up and moved towards the lab as I continued to draw closer.

“what could have happened,” was the only thought I had and the only person that could tell me what is, is running away from me.

“stay away !!,” her voice came again as she immediately grabbed a blade spatula from the lab and held it onto her wrist.

“Mitchell what are you doing, and what happened?,” I asked confused as I stopped.

“you wanna pretend you don’t know? You ruined our home,” her voice came again as tears streamed down her already swollen face.

“what have I done? I don’t remember anything,” I said again pleading for her to take the spatula away.

“what were you working on when you left Washington,” she asked.

“just a random experiment,” I replied.

“don’t lie to me goddamnit because that just ruined our lives Sam, Leah now sucks blood, a vamp and you transformed into….into a werewolf,” her voice came as she broke down in tears.

“I did what? Thought it failed,” I said to myself.

“did you inject her with it?,” her voice came again.

“no I didn’t,” I retorted.

“don’t lie to me,” she yelled in anger.

“I’m saying the truth, I have it here,” I cooed as I went to the safe and opened it and showed it to her.

“that’s a fake,” we heard someone voice from behind.

“what?,” I exclaimed as I saw Leah.

“I’m sorry dad but I injected myself with it when I was eight,” she confessed and I dropped it immediately, shocked as to what I just heard.

“why would you do that?,” Mitchell asked with teary face.

“I’m sorry mom. I always saw dad inject himself with something and thought I should try it out as well, I didn’t know and I’m sorry about Liam,” she apologized face down.

“I’m sorry,” I said to them.

Immediately the cops entered the house, apparently someone has been eavesdropping. The house was surrounded with cops who held their guns at us and that triggered us as well. I couldn’t control it as I fell to the ground growling and snaring at them while Leah did same as her fangs were already out. I transformed into a wolf again and immediately, they shot at us.

Trying to save Leah, Mitchell got shot straight in the chest. Running away from the scene as the shots continues and we ran into different directions, Leah and i. I got to the river bed where I went before and laid on the sand, growling in pains as I watched myself lose blood, apparently the shots met me.

I laid on the floor there and saw life depart from me and I recollected all that had happened. If only I had known it would be a huge disaster, I wouldn’t have ventured into it, my entire family has been wiped out for a mistake I alone committed in a quest for creating the extra ordinary. What have I done? Memories kept creeping in as I laid there and tears rolled down my eyes. I had already transformed into my human self again. With regrets, and no one in sight to help, I gently closed my eyes and that was it for me.

My family was gone and I too lost my breath, the only person left was my daughter, a daughter I do not know if she’s alive or dead but what could I do, sadly it all ends for me by the river bed.

With my entire family gone, everything went back to normal. My house was brought to the ground to avoid something else creeping up, everything seems just fine or so they thought.

One bright morning, the entire street was out as car horns could be heard from miles away, the cool breeze hitting differently as the weather was so cool, the trees danced to the rhythm of the wind as they swirl from side to side and birds chipping around singing songs of a bright new day. Suddenly everything took a new turn as loud screams was heard. Rushing towards the direction of the scream, came another one from another direction, just like that the screams continued. Taking a few step further, a huge hairy monster appeared, dripping with blood and a body of a woman laying lifeless on the ground. The invasion had just begun. Running for their lives, they bumped into another being, as beautiful as they are, they are very fast and can’t control their thirst for blood, again another bloodbath as the entire street were on rampage, werewolves and vampires.

A once peaceful city became a confluence of werewolves and vampires. Werewolves operating at night and vampires anytime they felt like. Families were divided and the people hid for the fear of their lives. The invasion continued as lot of persons was turned and packs began to form across the US. No one was allowed in or out of the state and humans who were there timed when they came out and when they are locked in. they continued to spread across the globe unnoticed, the number of death tolls raised to a large extent. Somehow they were able to have them under control as the first six months was hell but then little by little it all faded away. Those who were bitten decided to leave their families behind in order not to get anyone hurt. Soon things went back to normal but then everyone was still cautious. So by night, when they hear the howling, everyone locked their doors and stay indoors with their lights off and off to bed they went.

For months, everyone continued to live in fear and nothing was done about it but all things began to change when it got to the president daughter and son. His daughter transformed right in the middle of dinner when a bowl of freshly cooked meat was brought, a werewolf. The entire house was in disarray as she chased them from pillar to post. Unfortunately got hold of a guard, tearing him limb from limb; the smell of the blood got to their son and boom, his fang came right out and his eyes were bloodshot, again they had to run for safety with their little daughter.

Words were sent out that the family of the president had gotten infected and help were sought after immediately trying to curb them all at once. The news were all about the incident that happened at the president’s house despite the threat that no one should hear about it. It all seemed like a dream when things went out of hand. In a press conference, the president, kelvin Jordan promised to get a solution for them all and restore the peace that once was lost but in the middle of his speech, something bizarre happened, one of his staff went out of control and immediately, his claws came out and his shirt torn from it place as hairs began to appear all over his body. In just an instance, the president was also taken down and just like that, the conference room scattered as they tried to hide and others who were unfortunate, became the meal of the day. Terror continued as there was no help in sight to help them. Every organization and special tactical force were contacted for help. in a brief meeting, they decided to contact another scientist who could come up with a cure named Crowell.

He was contacted and fortunately, he was available to help and promised to come up with a cure but in the meantime, the US became a place of terror, anguish and suicide for those that haven’t been turned.

It’s not quite surprising that the cure took about three years and six months before Crowell and a few group of other scientist he was working with came up with something. After several tests, it was fit to be carried out on humans. The UN and other world organization were informed about the cure and immediately he was told to carry the test out on humans. Since the formula can’t be injected in them, he decided to make it gas, that way he could release it into the air and when they inhale, the will be back to normal. Of course they will have to be watched to be sure it actually works and off to Washington DC he went. He was flown on the UN rescue chopper, got there by night fall when the werewolves were lurking in the dark. Due to the circumstances to it all, he wore a face mask and released the gas into the air, from one state to another till all was exhausted. Observation were being made for the next three to four months and everything seemed just fine as everything began going back to normal. The howling reduced, although vampires can’t be easily detected but there was positive change and within the next two months, they were all fine. Families were reunited and activities went back to how it once was before the rise of werewolves and vampires.

With everything going back to how they were, the memories of werewolves and vampires ravaging the cities gradually disappeared coupled with the fact that other vamps and werewolves who left stayed in silence, away from major cities and towns, with that the memories completely faded away.

Eight years had passed and everything was still normal. It was a bright new sunny day deep in the suburb of Alaska, a news report came about the rampage of wolves and everyone were advised to stay indoors till they are caught and sent back to the wild. A lot of animal control and wild life control were sent there but they either lost their lives or came back with various wounds and bites on them. They seemed like normal wolves, going and moving in packs as usual but these wolves only come out at night. By day, they are nowhere to be found, no trace of them could be seen but night, they own them. Investigations were being carried out and luckily for them, they were able to get one.

It was night time when it was caught and taken away. They got to the research center at the middle of the night but when morning came, Mr. Davison, the man in charge went to check on it but found something else instead, a young boy probably in his nineteen or twenty years of age, in the cage where the wolf was placed in. surprised at the turn out, he quickly unlocked the cage and allowed the boy out and asked him how he got into the cage but he said nothing. Confused about how he got in the cage and the wolf disappeared while the cage was still locked was a mystery for he alone had the key.

Further interrogating the young man and him refusing to speak, he locked him back inside the cage to figure out what was going on and ordered that no one goes close to the cage except himself. Calmly, the man waited for nightfall and at the sight of a full moon, the boy transformed right in the cage again and howled into the air. When everyone heard the howl, they came out but only Davison was allowed to go close and just like a dream, he met the wolf right back at the cage. This is no black magic, the boy he saw is the wolf, a new breed of werewolves unlike the big scary ugly giant they knew, this one takes the form of a regular wolf. Looking directly at the man, it paced around the cage like it was in search of something. Davison left and told the rest everything was okay and the panic subdued.

The next morning before anyone would wake up, Davison went to the cage and unlocked it, letting loose the boy and told him to go for he had already retransformed into human form but he couldn’t, he was already far away from his pack and he hadn’t eaten anything for some time now.

Unhesitatingly, Davison decided to take him home and adopt him as his child. His wife died in a car accident and he has been alone with his daughter. Due to the trauma of the accident, he had to take his daughter away till presently that he brought her back to stay with him, having a new son wouldn’t be a bad idea for him.

When morning came fully, Davison had already taken the boy to his house but before he left, he replaced the lock with a broken one to seem like the wolf escaped captivity. He got to his house, entered and called on his daughter Bridget. She came running down and behold a beautiful girl with blonde hair approached in a pink flowery dress and pounced on her dad.

“baby I brought you a brother,” Davison told his daughter while the boy kept mute.

“he smell like a dog dad,” she replied him.

“only blood thirsty vamps can detect that,” he replied her and Davison stood shocked at his words while Bridget snared at him.

“Bridget what is he talking about?,” Davison asked his daughter.

“well dad, while I was away, I came in contact with a lady, she was a friend but then she bit me, the symptoms didn’t show at first but later on it did and here I am,” she cooed.

“well I learned to control it though, so instead of feeding off human blood, I used animal blood instead,” she added and gave a vengeful smirk at the new intake.

“well I have been with her for a year now and she hasn’t done anything,” Davison said.

“what’s your name?,” Bridget asked.

“Richard,” he retorted.

“what about your family?,” Bridget asked again.

“well I lost my pack when your dad took me,” he retorted.

“so you don’t remember where you come from?,” she further asked while I watched them.

“I lost my family when I was just a pup,” he retorted.

“oh I see, I’m sorry about that,” she added and ended the interrogation.

“teach him to control his wolf, we wouldn’t want anyone knowing about you two,” Davison said to both before a call came in.

“the wolf has escaped,” a voice said and he left for the research center. It probably broke the locks in its bid to escape, some said from behind when he got to the office.

"The research will have to stop for now considering the fact that the wolves had suddenly left the city, so there’s no way they would be a threat anymore," Davison retorted and left the center again.

Weird it was but what could they do, they had to accept and move on with other things. He got to the house only to find the living room upside down, where are those two, he thought and quickly ran upstairs to his daughter’s room. He got there just to find his daughter seated on Richard and her teeth piercing deep into his body.

“Bridget!!,” he half yelled her name and she jumped off him immediately.

“what the hell is going on?,” he asked angered.

“well he started it,” she said pointing at Richard.

“well I don’t think so,” Davison retorted and told her to clean up the living room and then took Richard to his room to get his wound treated.

It was evening now, dinner was made and they were called to come eat. Bridget got there first whilst they waited for Richard but he didn’t show up. Hurriedly, Bridget went after him, with her extreme sense of smell and sight, she could track him down and when she did, she saw him bathing in the moonlight as he scavenge for something to eat.

Sighting her from afar, he thought it wise for revenge and they both got into a heavy fight. Giving each other bite scars as they fought till they eventually got worn out. They lay in the bush a little distant from one another to avoid another round of fight.

Just like a flash, it was morning and Richard had transformed back into his human form, woke Bridget up and they both went home. Davison shocked by the number of scars on their bodies while they both left for their rooms.

Minutes later, they came down to behold a watchful eyes, with a sigh they gave in and told him what happened back in the forest. Angrily he gave them a knock on the head and they wince in pain.

“I don’t care how you gonna do it but I want you both working together, do you get me,” Davison said and they nodded their heads in agreement. It would be difficult but nothing is impossible.

The next few days was hell as both of them almost tore down the house with their numerous fights. It got to a point Davison had to create a den for Richard to keep him locked in every time there’s a full moon. Richard got so used to the den that he barely came out and often times when he did, Bridget sends him straight back into the den.

Davison had tried as much as he could to get them in harmony but failed. He had already given up on them and due to the nature of his job, he often found himself out, worried sick about his home always and they never fail to disappoint him as every time he got back, he sure is to see his house upside down always.

One day, back from work he is when he got to his house but surprisingly everything was alright and well arranged; thinking he was in the wrong house, he went out and back in several times, confused he finally got in and went to his room but yet, it was as clean as it could be and well arranged. Something is wrong, he thought as he stood bewildered at the middle of his room.

After absorbing everything, he decided to look for them and then he went to his daughter’s room and found her sleeping peacefully and by her side Richard. Baffled about the scene, he left them and went to his room, took a deep breath and went into the shower. When he came back down, he saw his daughter making breakfast and Richard beside her helping out.

“ok what is going on?,” he finally asked alerting them of his presence.

“welcome dad,” Bridget said with a smile.

“that did not answer my question,” he said again.

“well dad we actually sought things out as you always wanted,” her words came again and I saw Richard blush.

“is there something going on between you two that I don’t know of? normally when I come home, the house is usually a mess but now you both are acting like two adult in love,” he said trying to understand the scenario playing out before him.

“maybe we are,” Richard said and my eyes widened.

“well dad after you left, well I got into trouble but Richard here helped me out and ever since we have done things together and I have understood him plus he can now control his wolf,” Bridget words came as softly as it could be as she beamed with smiles. “I am in love with him dad” she added. As unbelievable as it sounded, it sounded genuine but two different beings being in love is something unexpected, I do not know much about werewolves and vampires but this love of theirs is something I would love to see how it goes. It has never been heard of that a werewolf falls in love with a vampire but then this is just the beginning of my story.
