No One Will Ever Hurt You Again I Promise-Chapter 38: Altercation

Stop walking backward man, it’s annoying and you’ve been talking about this same story over and over since the night before last night. You are going to drive me crazy El, it is not possible, you will never change.

I wonder if you’ve been able to close your eyes since this story, you seem very concerned about all this.

In the large main hall of the high school, Howie and Bravael were chatting while heading to their advanced math class, college program. They were even late but Bravael is obsessed with this story with the Rufus that haunts him.

So does Howie, but this one shows no signs that this story is bothering him too. It’s for this reason that El keeps breaking his ears with it over and over again.

He can’t even sleep properly anymore, he wakes up in the middle of the night sweating, his dreams have been filled with nightmares ever since.

That night, after Howie took that cold midnight bath that calmed him down, they set out to find the bodies of Vince and Rigs, where Theo last smelled them, he tracked them to the haunted house.

Theo crouched down where Rigs’ lifeless body had lain minutes before, his heart pounding.

Bravael looked away because he doesn’t know why but the feelings that run through this boy seemed to trouble him and affect him too much.

But when they arrived there was no more body. The scene reeked of fear, blood, pain, and violence, even more so the place stank of death.

Howie and Bravael felt it, they threw each other dismayed glances, and this pestilential odor that afflicts their sense of smell puts them on the verge of nausea.

What’s that disgusting smell again? Bravael complains, making a gesture of throwing up.

It’s not just that, Bravael told him, there was someone else here or something here and another wolf, from the same pack that attacked your property.

Howie walks to another room, a large room, the smell of blood that was attracting him was strong. And he discovered the horror in person, arms and feet torn violently from their owner, blood covered the walls, with bits of the gut in every nook and cranny of the room.

The others who were about to tumble into the room behind him were stopped abruptly by him, with a gesture of the hand which indicates to them to step back.

He turned towards them with an expression of disgust and pity at the same time, his complexion greyish as if he had just heard some of the most confusing news of his entire life, like that of his father’s death or the twins, El thinks.

Bravael and Theo couldn’t resist seeing what could have put this ruthless pureblood bloodthirsty in such a cadaverous state.

Seized with curiosity they went to the room to find out for themselves. They were struck by the reality and cruelty of the scene, and the sadistic joy with which it is made.

Seized with a great urge to vomit, they recoiled with a complexion much grayer than Howie had come out. hand over their mouth, they try to suppress their urge to vomit.

Don’t throw up here, it’s a crime scene, Howie reminds them, who is starting to get some color back. I told you not to go there he complain.

Theo couldn’t hold back the lump that formed on his stomach any longer, it just wants to get out. He started running to reach the exit but the exit wasn’t close, he couldn’t even get to the second room until his stomach rejected its contents. Bravael forgetting all his discomfort launched himself towards him using his unparalleled speed.

At the very moment the jet of liquid left Theo’s throat, he put his sweatshirt, which he had taken off in his run, under his mouth.

Howie rolled his eyes, he hadn’t moved, he was just content to watch Bravael’s diligence throughout the evening. Who could have said that? watch him scrambling like a poor devil to save Theo as if his life depended on it, it’s almost painful for me to watch him.

Theo looked up in surprise at Bravael who looked away from him to avoid meeting his gaze. Theo keeps throwing up everything he had under his stomach, the alcohol he had in his stomach starts to leak out and the smell wasn’t what you would call a flower.

Damn, it stinks man! What exactly did you eat? El asked him with a disgusted face.

Theo snatched the sweatshirt from his hands and walked away from him, staring at him. I must have eaten shit like a pig, he replies when he passes by him.

El chuckled at his response. Hmmm, he has some repartee.

He caught Howie’s amused gaze, who watched them with a smirk. And you, what makes you laugh?

Me, I am laughing, oh sorry, but I didn’t realize that the latter answers him while walking towards him. When he reached him, he whispered in his ear, bending down a little towards him.

You have some work to cut out mate, he said while patting him on the shoulder.

I have work on the plate, my ass! replied Bravael in the same low tone, wanting to kick Howie’s butt but Howie was already far away when he answered him, he took one last look around the room and turned to join them at the exit.

What was all that? How could someone slaughter people like this? Theo asked H who appears at the exit

It was not human nor the work of someone sane it was a demonic creature, I smelled her at the crime scene. This means there will be more death in the day to come and you are all in danger.

What kind of demon can do such a thing and why... I know Vince and Rigs are dead but I haven’t found their bodies, those in the other room weren’t them.

Because they were digested by this thing, and she’s a shapeshifter, a very powerful creature that has an exquisite taste for suffering. A demon who comes straight from the bowels of hell itself.

She needs pure energy to maintain a human form as long as he desires to stay with us in this world, and for that what are the best sources of pure energy that exist in this world? Bravael answers him, who has just reached them.

It’s you, your pack, and pure, innocent virgins. which means little girls who have not yet been defiled by carnal ideas and thoughts. he can always use other people but the effect will not be as long, and he will have to kill more people every day and countless numbers of people, or ten little girls a week. Howie finishes El’s response

I think this is where it started and your pack gave it its first burst of energy, vitality, and essence and it will be able to hide its scent and wait for the right opportunity to draw and pursue its source again and again. resume Bravael

The fact that he started with you is very dangerous, your power and the regeneration abilities you had make you his targets. Howie intervenes with excessive calm.

What? But how did you know all this exactly? asked Theo, a little distraught at the moment, his heart is beating irregularly.

Hey, calm down, asks Bravael, who takes a step towards him but stops on the way when he transforms before his eyes.

His coat is voluminous shiny and ebony black, on his right paw and his left ear hides a tuft of silver hair of the same color as his eyes, they were silver, and his gaze was disturbing and hypnotizing.

He’s so adorable, thinks Bravael while glancing worriedly around him, they were alone in a dark alley but who knows what might be lurking around hidden in the dark watching them.

Howie felt Bravael’s concern and Theo’s discomfort who began to whine like a puppy, he went to hide his head in Howie’s pants who smiled happily. and for the first time, Bravael gives free rein to his emotions without hiding them.

Bravael turned to Howie, to speak to him when he noticed Theo’s attempt to hide from him. He rolled his eyes, what’s the matter with him, he mutters, he can go join him but he’s hiding from me. What an idiot?

We have to get out of here, he said to Howie, glaring at Theo. This stupid wolf thinks he’s safe from my gaze, just because his head is hidden in your feet, Pff, he chuckled softly.

Theo didn’t move and Howie struggled to move his feet without rushing the cute wolf hiding in his feet. Besides, we can’t go to the car with him in this state, he says by making gestures to Bravael who understands him perfectly.

He walked around him gently and went to stand next to Theo who became tense when he felt his presence.

Hey, don’t worry, he said softly, we’ve all had moments like this and you just saw me in my supernatural form, not to mention this ferocious and merciless beast that almost got rid of us in a wink not long ago.

Of the three of us, you’re the most beautiful, you don’t have to be afraid or ashamed of us. Although you must be wary of that moron you’ve sought refuge in, he’s the bad guy out of the three of us, he said, crouching beside him as softly as he spoke to him.

He slid a tender hand into Theo’s shiny soft coat, who didn’t move, he closed his eyes and wrapped him in a little pheromone while enjoying the caress of his hair on the bare skin of his arm.

Theo lifted his muzzle towards him and touched his cheek with his cold muzzle which made El flinch. He opened his eyes and lifted him into his arms.

You see when you want you can. H said to him, laughing.

When they got to the lighted streets where there are more or less a few people still standing, leading under the parking lot where they left the car earlier, people throughout their little walk kept throwing at them adorable looks.

They were both adorable with that big, shiny-haired, anchor-black dog that El carried in his arms like a trophy and Howie who made sure he kept his silver eyes closed throughout the walk.

It was already seven in the morning when they arrived at Theo’s property in the woods. The rest of the little pack waited anxiously for them in the yard.

Theo was sleeping peacefully in the back seats of the jeep wangler while El didn’t take his eyes off him while he is the very one driving.

Howie hasn’t said a word the whole way back, it reminds him of when Aike is sulking and he is watching his every move in the rearview mirror.

I should put them all uncomfortably in the car, he thinks, because the languorous looks El throws at his dog makes him uneasy.

No, it should be worse, he said, correcting his thoughts, my gaze had always been cold and hard. I can tell by the way Ayke always tries to avoid it and tries to disappear into his seat.

Do you want to stop moving like this? it’s annoying, says El to him. You’re annoying too, answers the other, you’ll end up eating him alive if you keep looking at him like that.

El jumped, he turned sharply to see if Theo had at least heard what his silly friend had just said, and turned back to H, who he defied.

Eat him alive, my ass! Hold your tongue Ash or I’ll feel like I have to do it for you, he said menacingly then glared at him and returned his attention to the road with a stupid smile on his lips.

Theo’s two ears popped up upon his head like two antennae.

Yeah, yeah! it was pretty freaky not to mention the fact that I almost buried you all there. But hey, we’re here and thanks man for standing up to me and helping get my dark side under control, this story with Alfred freaked me out.

Yeah, we can say that, but didn’t he find something better than you, huh? Among all the humans on earth, he had to choose you, eh, a pureblood.

You are like a mixture of bleach and white vinegar, one cannot resonate with the other, you are dangerous, deadly, fierce, cruel, and noxious. The big package, huh?

I’m not harmful or a damn fucking suffocating mixture, Howie replies.

Yeah, and now you don’t sound like a gentleman, all you say now is high-sounding words and you dress like a thug, a real little rascal.

You mean I’m no longer attractive to you, now that you’ve found the real candidate, is that it? Howie asks him looking at him mischievously.

Yeah, that’s it mate, says El sarcastically, keep talking, can we go back to our subject from before?

When are you gonna stop avoiding the topic, you keep telling me what to do about the twins and now you’re the one running away, isn’t that funny?

It’s not the same thing, your story is different, you already know each other and he hates me just like I hate him, not to mention the fact that I have no idea about his preferences.

Wow, so you hate him? So if I understand correctly, it was out of hatred that you built this protective barrier on his property the last time?

You used your life essence buddy to create a great barrier made of spiritual energy, additionally personifying to protect them from all who was an outsider to their pack, even a human would be unable to see them let alone the fact that other creatures who see it risk being pulverized if they approach the barrier.

Ah, I didn’t know hate had its good sides too, thanks for the lesson man.

You’re having fun there, huh? I’m glad I had something to do with your good mood, it’s refreshing to see you so involved in my private life.

Since when did you have one? I don’t care about your private life, you allow yourself to dig your tongue into mine so I do the same for you, so stop being stupid and look the truth in the face, my old man.

Are you pushing me towards him to get rid of me, Howie? El asked him, stopping in front of him while planting his fists on his hips.

What a crazy idea! I know no matter what I do, I could never get rid of you, you followed me this far, what else you won’t do? Howie replies in a teasing tone.

Well, I’m glad you know that he said giving Howie a little smack on his firm torso. But I didn’t tell you, what I liked the most about this evening was the scandalized face that Alfred made when you told him about his rejuvenation. He said while laughing, he gave me an angry look.

Hey shut up little prick, Howie whispered to him while glancing around worriedly, are you crazy or what? What if they were there, huh silly?

They’re not the only ones who know someone by that name and they won’t even recognize him even if they see him, he’s very young and innocent now, nothing to do with the person they know.

Ah yes, do you believe that? They are not idiots, and they have a great sense of observation, they are not like some who only have eyes for themselves.

Ah good then, that’s how you see me, El asked him indignantly. No, that’s exactly how you are my dear friend, and walk properly or you’re going to collide with someone.

He couldn’t finish his sentence when El bumped into someone’s firm, muscular back causing him to topple over and lose his balance. Howie grabbed him to avoid the impending fall he was heading towards.

Holy fucking shit! He shouted, who is this moron who didn’t know how to watch where he is going?

I think you’re the jerk Howie whispered to him, smiling mischievously. Oh, it’s going to be fun here, he commented in his head.

I’m going to smack the face of this little shitty scum asshole who bumped into me despite all the space there is here. He struggled to get out of Howie’s grip who is trying to warn him and calm him down.

But he only wants one thing and that is to put his fist in the face of this pretentious little asshole with an iron foot who almost smeared him on the floor like a dirtbag.

He jerked out of Howie’s grip, who let him be, finally what was the point of stopping him. After all, it’s been a long time since they’ve had a bit of an Oscar-worthy show on the high school grounds. Here we go El, action! Howie shouted in his head, a little insane but he didn’t let anything show on the surface.

You dick he... shouted Bravael the rest of the sentence died on his lips in an incomprehensible whisper, with both hands he pushed the back of the person he bumped into when he smelled sweet pineapple and candy invading his nostrils it was already too late.

His mother’s whore! He cried when the other took his time to face him since it was already too late for him to reverse the anger that had already inhibited him from head to toe.

With part of his hair hiding part of his face, Theo ran a sensual hand through his hair to put it aside before punching El back in his chest using both hands.

Fuck you, man! I remind you that you’re the one who bumped into me, where do you think you’re walking backward like that? Do you have eyes in the back of your head or something?

Ah, that means you saw me coming and you did it on purpose, huh, is that right son of a bitch? El raged, he hit Theo in the jaw with a violent punch while punching him directly in the rib cage.

That’s what you want asshole, so I’ll give it to you. It wasn’t enough for you to taste my fists, you had to come here to get some more, huh. So guess what I have a whole stock of them, ready to be unpacked just for you.

A violent fight took place in the hall drawing many students into the hall with an uproar. Howie stayed away watching the merciless exchange of blows they gave each other as if they wanted to get rid of a fierce enemy, as if they were fighting against someone other than themselves, provoking each other with unparalleled words and insults.

These two are meant for each other but I’m afraid they will kill each other in the process. Bravael has found someone who will be able to calm down his ardor once and for all, but he will not be too proud to admit it and I’m not sure Theo will let it go so easily, it’s going to take time for sure and there will be scenes like this every time they meet I’m pretty little sure of that.

Think Howie, watching the scene with his arms folded across his chest, leaning his back against one of the lockers waiting for them to calm down on their own. The group formed around them begins to be frightened at the sight of blood splattering on the ground.

It’s just a little blood why make a fuss about it, they won’t die beating each other, he grumbled between his teeth.

Teachers rushed to the scene of the fight to put an end to it, but they were also shocked by the violence shown by these two brawlers towards each other.

Have you ever been told that you hit like a chick? You talk a lot more than you hurt me, replied Theo, with a bloody smile.

He didn’t have time to finish his sentence when El punched him violently in his rib cage, he doubled over in shock at the blow he received.

After a few seconds of pausing to catch his breath, he rushed towards El, who he tackled to the ground violently. He rained down a flurry of punches, without taking a breath on El’s beautiful, exotic and refined face, who didn’t even try to protect himself.

They are real sadists, what exactly are they playing, I never felt the urge to be beaten to death like that and God only knows I should sometimes, just to clear my head.

But I always choose, to go for a run or to train, to blow off steam on something else or someone else, to play on other people’s nerves.

Oh, come on dude, to think of it, I may have already tried to do this, except I don’t take it out on anyone who might want to kick me like crazy.

While he was lost in his thoughts a smell he knows all too well caught his attention but by the time he could avoid the impossible from happening it was already too late.
