The Spawn of Hate (23 page)

I really had no need for money anymore since I was the master at just taking what I wanted from a store, rather it be by illusion or teleportation. For some unknown reason I decided to buy a soda from a vendor in Yosemite and that’s what doomed me. The person I talked to seemed honest enough and I left to enjoy my day. I hadn’t talked to anyone in a while so I was very friendly to all the other vacationers I saw there. After about two hours I was confronted by a man with bushy eyebrows and slicked back hair. He looked just like a mobster or
hitman in the movies.

“Sorry about this kid but they offered me my freedom. I can’t believe they finally caught me. I guess I am just lucky they wanted you more. I figured I would be fish food by now.” The man started talking to me.

“I am sorry but you must have the wrong person,” I said trying to figure out what he was talking about.

“No Cory I am sure I have the right person and I have led them right to you. It is unfortunate that I must rat on a fellow outlaw
, but I am glad they want you more than me. Can you really take away powers?”

“How long do I have?” I figured out exactly what he meant and had to prepare myself.

“They have figured out I have led them on a goose chase and they are coming now. One of them is behind you.”

I turn to see Kara staring at me. She speaks into her watch as I turn to high tail it outta there. You are aware of the other parts which leaves me where I am now, hiding behind a damn water fall with broken bones and paralyzed.

I start to feel better and am slowly gaining my feeling back. As I am contemplating my escape I strong hand suddenly clamps over my mouth and I feel claws at my throat.

“Do not scream”, I hear the unmistakable voice of Khatara. “If you attempt anything I will rip your throat out, do you understand?”

I nod my head yes. Suddenly I feel a sharp sting in my back.

“You have just been infected
with venom from a rare species I will not name. In a couple of hours you will have a splitting headache. I have the anti venom but you need to make your way to 115 Lundy’s Lane in San Francisco. If you do not there is an excellent chance you will never walk again. Do as I say and when I am finished with you, you are welcome to continue the life of an outlaw. Try to run and I am guessing you won’t be too hard a fight. I will lead them off.”

Khatara then went pass me out of the water fall. I waited until night and a headache started coming on. I could feel my body trying to fight it and it probably could but I didn’t want to take any chances. I reached the house and went inside. I could make out at least two figures in the house as I stepped in closer. Suddenly I was pushed to the ground by a small figure standing over me.

“So Cory, are you ready for some hunka hunk of wolfie wolfie love?” Said Kara
