Meeting Lucia

CHAPTER 2•

Winterville high school

Kyle walked brisky away from the scene, ignoring his brother who failed to reason things out with him.

He thought of how the weredragons killed both their parents who tried to protect them ten thousand years ago.

The weredragons were the sworn enemies of the Vampire/Werewolf hybrids, they had been believed to have gone extinct almost a decade ago, but they resurfaced and came back to end all supernaturals, powerful enough to stand in their way. So far only the original vampires, the Vaewolves, the Werewolf/Vampire Lords, and some witches have been able to stand up to them but all have fallen. No one was powerful enough to end the reign of the weredragons, so some yielded, most fled for their lives.

Alan and Kyle are both on the run for their lives, as Vaewolves, they are been hunted by the weredragons and it was only a matter of time.

Kyle gulped down saliva at the thought of this.

'When would he stop being a jerk'

He thought, he was really deep in thoughts while walking really fast that he didn't notice three girls walking towards him as well.

Boom!

He bumped into one of them, the one dressed in a brown jacket, pink top, and a skirt.

"Hey watch it" One of the girsl said.

"Are you blind or something?" Another girl asked.

"It's okay Kamilia" the girl he bumped into said to them.

Kyle was speechless for seconds, these were the girls he saved last night in the woods. Too bad he had erased their memories, so they couldn't remember him.

"I...I'm..I'm sorry" he stammered, not knowing what else to say.

Lucia stared into his crystal-like eyes for a while, somehow he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she met him. He had a neatly combed hair, and pink curvy lips.

Kyle stared helplessly at her too, he didn't know she was this beautiful, he scanned her from head to toe, her lips, cheeks, hair, chest, and even her thighs which were partly revealed.

"Why's he staring at you like that?" Taylor broke the silence and Lucia gave her the 'i don't know' look.

"Let's go" Kamilia said, dragging Lucia and Taylor along with her.

Kyle watched as they walked away, leaving him in a startled position.

He smiled to himself, not knowing what he was feeling at the moment.

"The guy's acting weird"

"But he's actually cute though"

"Oh, you think so? Why didn't you ask for his name, or address then?"

Kyle's supernatural hearing abilities allowed him to eavesdrop on their discussion as they went.

The creaking sound of the front door of Kyle's house could be heard as he walked into his living room.

He removed his hoodie and threw it carelessly on the couch, he then sat on the wooden chair beside the couch and rested his back on it, amidst wide grins. There was a large wall clock hung on the left part of the living room, and a flower vase on the table situated at the middle.

Kyle's thoughts ran back to the moment he bumped into Lucia, too bad he didn't know her name.

"Hey watch it!"

"Are you blind or something?"

"It's okay Kamilia!" The dialogues repeated themselves in his head, he needed to find this girl.

"Love sick aren't you?" Alan's voice came from the right side of the room, he turned to see Alan sitted on the second couch, vampires and their speed!

"It's none of your business, sh*thole"

"It's Lucia right?" Alan asked.

At the mention of the name Lucia, Kyle's thoughts went wild.

"How did you know that's her name?"

"Oh, come on little bro, you know I'd do anything for you!" Alan teased.

"You went stalking on her?!" Kyle retorted, now getting annoyed.

"And by the way, she has a nice scent!" Alan teased the more.

"If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll make sure I....." Kyle was saying when suddenly.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Alan was standing in front of him, with an evil grin.

"You'll what?"

Kyle leapt at him with his right palm pushed forward, there was a collision which sent both of them flying into the concrete walls of their room.

Kyle let go of Alan, and took two steps backwards.

"Threaten me again, and I'll end her existence in within minutes" Alan said, before bursting into laughter.

"A*shole!" Kyle cursed inwardly before dashing angrily into his room.

***

Lucia's head moved rythmically in flow with melodious sound of Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You! Courtesy of her headphones on max volume.

'who was that guy?'

'Why did she feel like she'd met him before?'

'She needed to find out'

Lucia hummed inwardly to the music as these thoughts ran through her mind. The feeling she was having now, it's been years since she last felt that way, she was wondering why, but who was she to 'not give-in to it?'

She pulled off the headphones from her ears, just in time to pick a call from Kamilia.

"What's up sucker?" She joked.

"Hey, remember that guy from earlier today?" Kamilia's voice came through the phone.

"Yeah, what about him?"

"Well, news just got round, he's Dead!" Kamilia said.

"What!"

"How?"

"Animal attack! We'll talk more tomorrow!" Kamilia said and hung up. Lucia was perplexed, someone she just met today, and now he's dead, such devastating news, too bad she didn't get to talk one on one with him.

Next day.

Winterville High School.

"Hey what's up Winterville's cutest" Taylor joked, as Lucia walked towards them.

They were all dressed in fancy looking gowns. Lucia wore a red gown, Kamilia wore green, while Taylor wore a blue gown, they really knew how to turn up.

"What's popping damsels?" Lucia joked back as they walked towards the locker facility.

"Well, nothing except the death of Mr-Pretty-boy" Kamilia replied sharply.

"Wait, were you talking about the first boy we met yesterday or the last one who bumped into me?" Lucia asked, wearing a confused look.

Both Kamilia and Taylor shot her stern looks.

"I'm talking about the first boy, sucker!" Kamilia retorted.

"Oh God!" Lucia said, somehow feeling relieved that it wasn't the boy who bumped into her.

"Why are animals attacking people randomly in the school?" Taylor asked, wearing a worried face.

"Well, God knows why! But rumours have gone round the school! They think it's a wolf" Kamilia added.

"A wolf? What kind of wolf would kill people and cause so much damages like the ones seen on the corpses?" Lucia questioned.

"Well, maybe a giant wolf" Kamilia answered.

"God help us all!" Lucia concluded as they got to their respective lockers and pulled out the items they needed.

They all brought out their literature textbooks because they were having a literature class that morning.

"So as stated in our last class, a hyperbole can also be seen as a delibrate or unintentional overstatement, particularly extreme overstatement!" Mr Connor, the literature teacher brielfly explained.

He was dressed in a black German suit, there was a white board Marker in his right hand and a textbook in his left hand. The seats were arranged with Ten rows and eight columns. All students were sitted on wooden desks, which had an extra small locker where you could keep other items.

Lucia and her associates were sitted at the fourth row, while Kyle was sitted at the sixth row, in the third column. Lucia wasn't even concentrated on what the teacher was saying, nor what her friends were chattering quietly about. Her gaze was fixed on Kyle who was busy taking down notes on his book. The teacher noticed Kamilia and Taylor discussing so he asked a question.

"So who's gonna give me an example of an hyperbolic expression in a sentence?"

"Misses Kamilia Bright and Taylor Arger, would you mind answering the question?"

That's when he got the attention of the duo and most of the students who weren't paying attention earlier.

"And please be on standing positions" Mr Connor added.

Both Kamilia and Taylor stood up, Lucia smiled inwardly. She had just made an eye contact with Kyle and he smiled back.

"Go on!'

"Uhm, Alvin is shorter than a broken pencil!" Kamilia answered first. Mr Connor shot her a stern look, as everyone burst into laughter.

"Why's everyone laughing, am I not correct?" She protested.

"Well, it's hilarious you know!" Lucia replied, both she and Taylor were both laughing.

"Silence!" Mr Connor yelled, and silence dominated the classroom.

"Both of you, see me after this class!" He said, anger visibly portrayed in his tone. This statement made the both of them gulp down saliva.

Kyle shifted his gaze from the teacher towards the window by the left and he saw Hitler and his gang gathered round a platform which had the flag of America on it. They were definitely in the middle of a discussion.

Kyle's super hearing abilities kicked in and he eavesdropped on them.

"Make sure everything's clear, no traces" Hitler, the alpha of the pack ordered

"Yes boss"

"Any more questions?" Hitler asked his pack.

"Yeah, what about the new guy?" One of his pack members asked.

"We'll handle him as soon as we deal with the vampires!" Hitler concluded and gestured for them to start going.

Kyle's thoughts went wild, were they planning on killing another innocent person? He had to stop them, but how?
