Awkward Me

1 min read
Hey guys, long time no activity from me. 

Anyways, sorry about that, I've had a really busy end of high school finishing my these and equally busy summer, and now it is just now the next phase of my life. College and employment. Yay me!

Nevertheless with this more freedom in my with I really want to get more organized and in a way creative because my hope to be a writer seems very very far in the future with where I am no. sooooooooooooo, here is my plan.

Blogging


Yes, but on top of doing research, I thought I would ask. Does anyone have suggestions? If it is from readers or bloggers perspective, I would really appreciate any input. 


Also, I hope to become more active on here, but I really only used this site for role pays which I now do on Discord, but I might as I said, become more active as I get more organized and pull my life together. 


THANKS!!

   “You do know this is a Hunt, right men?” I stood over the men sitting by the fire.
   “Umm... yes sir.” The men answered, obviously confused by my question.
   “Then why have you stopped, I did not order this stop.” I narrowed my eyes at the alcohol in the hands of the men.
   “Sir... we are tired, we have been on the road for almost two days, can’t we get a break?” One spoke up.
   “Young man, what is your name?” I ask the man.
   “Garret Adams, sir.”
   “Alright, Adam’s, how long do you want this Hunt to last, huh?” I questioned.
   The men looked to each other, still hopelessly confused.
   “Fine, answer me this. How many of you got someone waiting for you back home? Have plans for the future?” I ask slowly turning my attention to one man after the other.
   A few nodded.
   “Tell me, Adams.” I focused on the man.
   “I got a girl, and a little boy.”
   “Married?”
   “No sir.”
   “Engaged?”
   “Yes sir.”
   “She a keeper?”
   He smiled. “Oh, Yes sir.”
   “How long have you been away soldier?”
   “Almost a year, sir.”
   “Ever been on a Hunt Adams.”
   “No sir, this is my first.”
   “So you took the promotion?”
   This time Garret only nodded in answer.
   “Well, unfortunately, all of you are new to my way of doing things.” I look to everyone, and just by looking at them I could gage the experience level of the men.
   “I do hope you know who I am though.” I mutter. “I am Hunt General Howler, now, I’ll give you the night, but tomorrow, we start my way.” I state heading back to my horse to tie him to the post before grabbing my pack and settling myself under a tree close to my horse, but in earshot of the men.
   “Howler?” Garret asked.
   “You have never heard of him.” Another asked.
   “That is impressive he is only the greatest Hunt General the corps has.” Someone else answered.
   “Tyler! Damien! Be respectful!”
   “Come one Shawn. Just because your the most experience of us, doesn’t mean your the boss.” Another spoke.
   “Oh relax James, you too Shawn.” Tyler spoke again.
   “We still have to inform the newbie.” Damien said.
   “Why should we, it isn’t our fault he ins’t informed.”  Shawn grumbled.
   “It’s fine, I mean I’ve heard the name before but I thought he had a hunting team of the best of the best.” Garret said.
   There was silence for a few moments.
   “That is a good point.” Tyler started.
   Silence again.
   “Don’t look at me, I’m not a story-teller.” Shawn huffed, lighting a cigarette.
   “But you know, don’t you.” Damien probed.
   “Maybe I do, but you should know not to talk about your superiors behind their back, deffinently a man like General Howler.” Shawn spoke gravely.
   “Come on man, help your fellow soldiers out here.”
   “Man, don’t leave us hanging.”
   “Leave me be.” Shawn grumbled.
   “ No, we just want you to inform us, no harm done.” James spoke.
   “We won’t bother you after, please man.” Tyler promised.
   They all waited for Shawn to speak up.
   “Fine, but you all owe me.” He spoke puffing out smacked and pointing his cigarette to the group. He then looked to the fire.
   “Where to start, where to start...” He grumbled.
   “Ah, well lets start at some beginning point. His recruitment.” Shawn started.
   “Howler joined the Demon Hunt Corps at the start of winter, about seven years ago. On his first assignment, his group was supposed to stop a raging beast trampling through towns. They tracked it down for a few months, and in their engagement of the beast, he and two other were the only survivors of the assignment.”
   “Did they kill the beast?” Damien asked.
   “Don’t interrupt me or I won’t tell you.” Shawn snapped. “As I was saying, on his return, the three survivors refused to split up, assignment after assignment. The three survived and were very successful. Howler rose through the ranks while the other two followed. Three years ago they were assigned to track and capture the leader of the last rioters that escaped from custody. After a year of the hunt, the hunted escapee attacked the group who had stopped for the night, and Howler was the only survivor.” Shawn continued.
   “Was that the Massacre of Sagewire Forest?” Garret asked.
   Shawn only gave a nod.
   “I heard about that, Howler was the only one to survive, I can’t believe it.” Damien spoke.
   “If he was so famous, why have we barely hear of him?” Tyler asked.
   “That I do know.” James spoke up as Shawn shrugged at Tyler’s question, and all the attention turned to James.
   “Rumor has it that Howler was repositioned to the Hunt Corps after secretly working under the main man and it was on account of some action or opinionated argument between the two that his transfer was a demotion, and attempt to get ride of him.” James explained in a low whisper, all the rest of the men leaning in to hear.
   “No way.” Garret gasped.
   “I heard that he went crazy from always hunting demons. Is that true?” Tyler asked leaning in closer.
   “Those are rumors.” Shawn spoke up again.
   “No one knows, but they don’t call him Demon General Howler for nothing.” James stated.
   “Then I guess you guys will have to live and tell the tale of Demon General Howler.” I spoke up adjusting the hat on my head and smile at the fear filled silence from the men.
   “Sorry, General.” James finally spoke. I laugh, which only causes form fearful silence.
   “Don’t you worry about it men, my only say is this, a Hunt requires a certain amount of trust, so a fear of the hunted is fine, but don’t let the fear of me come first. If you can’t manage that, better ask for a transfer now.” I state, shifting my position against the tree.
   Silence was the answer I got, but I was not surprised by it.
   “Now get some rest of keep quieter.” I order.
   “Yes sir!” The all called out in unison.
   That was that and it went quiet besides the sounds of nature.

~~~

   “Alright off you butts sleeping beauties?” I call as I go around the dead campfire kicking the shoes of the sleeping men. There were a few groans, but a few got up as I made my way over to y horse to re-strap my travel pack.
   “Early is normal, but this seem super early.” Garret grumbled.
   “What time is it?” Damien asked stretching.
   “Its-” James started to speak.
   “There is no more time, we go by the time nature gives us, meaning The sun, stars, and moon, they are your clock now.” I interrupt turning back to the men.
   “Pack and prepare, we are headed out soon.” I state.
   I sat atop my horse watching the five men pack, waiting patiently as I shut my eyes and listen. At the last sound of zipping and fidgeting I open my eyes.
   “Now that we are all ready lets get going. We have a rendezvous point to make it to before the debriefing. Then we will relieve the previous Hunter group and take over, so lets get moving.” I state, painting my horse in the right direction, tapping its side and starting off, only glancing back to watching the men scrambling on their horses and begin to follow.
   In the distance the mountains that surrounded the main city for the headquarter were peaking up above the thick pine forest, the path they were on would lead them to the cabins just outside of the defensive line of the territory. Of course the reason I took my men this way was the rendezvous point, but also to get a feel for them men on the longest path to the cabins. The five men followed on their horses, and with me in the lead setting the pace the group hoping to make it to the rendezvous point before sundown.
   “Pick up the pace Damien!” I call back noticing his falling behind with the pace.
   “Sorry sir!” He called out in reply getting his horse to run beside Garrets.
   Howler turned his attention forward again, continuing on the path.
   
   They now have been ridding for quite a while, the sun had look been up and it was just over head, I had stopped the group for a water break and to rest the horses.
   “Sir, do you know what we will be hunting.” Tyler asked as he stroked his horses neck while it drank from the river.
   The rest of the group looked to me as well, obviously curious themselves.
   “Funny you should ask.” I laugh as I adjust my travel pack on my saddle.
   “Have you gentlemen heard of the killings of the children in Orphanages?” I took a long drink from my canteen. Watching the men look amongst themselves, I figured that few had a green real idea.
   “Yes sir, I have, but I thought it was unsure of who actually committed the murders.” Garret spoke up.
   “That is true, but that was until recently in the last few months we have been tracking a halfbreed that was apparently found in the last that had been transferred between all the last buildings that were attacked.” I said closing my canteen and putting it back into the pack.
   “That is suspicious.” Shawn said now looking to the river, seemingly in thought.
   “Doesn’t stop there, Apparently she was found hiding in a closet with the blood of the agent we sent to check the place out, and he was found dead.” I continued leaning against the tree where my horse was resting.
   “I have another question sir.” Tyler spoke up again.
   “What is it?” I sigh.
   “Why are we the relieve team. I though a party stuck with their assigned hunted creature until the capture.” Tyler looked to me as he asked and I could not help but smile.
   “That is true sir, what makes this Hunt special?” Shawn spoke up as well as he adjusted his horses saddle.
   “Well, You see, she isn’t just any halfbreed.”
   “She??” Garret questioned.
   “She is the offspring of the Demon Sabertooth King of the Southern BloodRiver Mountains.” I smile lifting a brow as all the expressions of the men changed to jaw dropping shock.
   “The Southern BloodRiver Mountains...” Tyler repeated, and looked as if he had just broken into a cold sweat, much like the rest of the men, in exception to Shawn, he looked at me in a different manner of surprise.
   “Sir, if I man speak out of line, but that is Bull.” Shawn spoke with disbelief.
   “What makes you say that Mr. Baskosky.” I ask.
   “If that is true, that would mean not only did that bloody demon sneak into the human cities, but reproduces and made a bloody child all without catching the attention of the corps or any police.” Shawn started, very passionately and with his arms crossed.
   “That is true.” I nod in agreement.
   “I’m not finished, it would also mean we have a level seven demon halfbreed running around this world. And it is a hundred percent proven that half breeds can grow more dangerous than any other demon.” Shawn finished, not looking pleased.
   “All very true, but to our credit we know now and have get the halfbreed behind bars, and maybe even use her to kill the Saber King.” I state moving towards my horse and mounted.
   “You do not seem to grasp the whole situation.” Shawn stepped forward in a challenging manner making my horse huff and paw the ground.
   “That is enough Soldier.” I state calmly, and Shawn backed up.
   “You see, you are not the first to think of this, and you certainly won’t be the last. We are on this hunt aren’t we, so stop thinking of the past and start thinking like a beast.” I said on my horse shifting it to be facing the direction we were headed, “Now, mount up and let’s get this party moving.” I finished.

Part 1
Status: Complete (no edits)

Character: Sab

It all started on a cold dark winters night. She had learned her stature that warm bright spring, not it was time for her to learn her place. 

The little grey haired girl sat at the windowsill of one of the second floor windows. Watching the snowfall, it was my second winter here, in the ‘orphanage’ as they liked to call it, but I knew better. This wasn’t necessarily my first orphanage either. I had been to man, transferring in and out of them after a few weeks. I think the longest I was at in war two months, but that was before I was known to be a half breed. I was surrounded by other kids like me now, half breeds, kids who were not wanted by the outside world. I was abandon on a night just like it was outside the window. I knew the feeling of cold and darkness, and I didn’t like it one bit. 
    “Sab! Hey off that windowsill! It is past curfew!” The lady in charge was making her way up the stairs when she spotted me. I huffed and hopped off the windowsill. 
    “No need to tell Miss.” I scoffed grabbing the blanket I had around me and started my way to the room of beds further down the hall. 
    “Don’t give me that attitude young lady! You wanna spend another night in the doghouse!?” She threatened.
    The dog house, that’s what she liked the call the little room under the staircase. She put all the kids who she deemed troublesome there for about a day actually. 
    “No miss, but if you think I deserved, please.” I turned around and did a little bow as a teasing  gesture.
    “That is it! Get over here young miss!!” The woman scolded. I just huffed and went over to her. She grabbed me by the wrist and started leading me down the stairs. She was lecturing me, but I wasn’t listening, I glance behind me to see Sally, the youngest in the building poking her head it from the bedroom. I smile at her and wave with my free hand but continued to be dragged. We were down the stairs and she doin me around.
    “No you listen young lady, you will be stuck in here until you learn to control your little attitude, being a short temper snarky halfbreed will never get you to the real world.” She finished her lecture opening the door and shoved me into the little closet.
    “So what, I don’t want to go out into a world that doesn’t want me anyways.” I stick out my tongue to the woman and she scoffs slamming the door. Locking the top latch, the only one she really locked for safety reasons. It could be undone in care of emergencies but us kids knew we were never supposed to let ourselves out in any other cases.
    “Typical.” I mutter, not in a dark little closet, some pillows and blankets were folded and stacked in the corner, and a few books on behavior, attitude, and half breed specific books were also stacked with a flashlight beside the other stuff. 
    “At least it is quiet.” I sigh beginning to make myself comfortable. I would never admit it out loud, but I liked the solitary confinement of the orphanage, but I knew it wouldn’t help me in the long run. I didn’t trust the outside world, the second my demon side began to show through I was abandoned, and ever since then I became fully away that half-breeds were not liked in the human society. The worst part was, I didn’t know what kind of demon I was, just the fact I was a demon cost me a home, I was beginning to worry that the kind of demon I was would cost me something more. 
“So what, I can handle myself.” I huff to myself settling down for the nights rest. 
CLANG! I awoke, sitting up quickly gripping tightly to the blanket I had around me. I lean in to peak through the crack. Nobody should be up, I knew I hadn’t been asleep long, and all I saw was an unfamiliar shadowed figure. 
“Excuses me, Sir! How did you get in here?!” Miss Garder called down from most likely the top of the railing to the second floor. 
“I’m sorry to bother you so late at night, but I am a bit lost, Do you happen to have a ma?” It was a man’s voice that spoke in answer. It was different than any man I had heard, but with light being shone on the shadowed figure, more details came into sight. He was green, that was the first thing I noticed through the little I could see on him. 
“Excuse me, but you shouldn’t be here in the first place, what are you doing in this territory?” Miss Garder spoke again, this time reaching for something, but quite loudly, but the green man acted quirky.
BANG! THUD! 
I quickly cover my mouth. He shot her, he killer her! I shut my eyes as I hear the flashlight Miss Garder was holding roll from the second story then fall the first floor with a clang.
”I really am sorry Ma’am, but it could not be helped, No survivors as I say.” The man chuckled, and broke into laughter, as I heard him stomp his way up the stairs.
I began to feel like I was running out of air, my mind was racing, trying to grasp the situation, I heard more gun fire, followed by scream. 

Why, why is this man doing this? What is going on? What does he mean no survivors? What should I do? Wait… are they all going to die? What about me… Am I going to die here.

“There there. That should do it.” His voice echoed again, and footsteps overhead meant he was coming back down. I was frozen in fear, I had my hands over my mouth, and my eyes followed the sounds of his footsteps. 
“That takes care of-“ He stopped talking, it all went silent.
“Hello? Anybody in here.” He voice was loud, calling out in the orphanage building. He become quiet to listen to any response.
“Odd, I could have sworn I smelt a living stench of fear.” His laugh echoed once again and everything went silent. 
I remained still, fearful, and alert for a long time. The smell of blood wrecked the place before I felt like it was safe to take my hands from off of my mouth. Quiet tears were streaming down my face. 

Is he gone? Has the danger passed? Is anyone out there?

I leaned to peak through the crack again, no one in sight, everything was in darkness. I slowly cracked the door open, the one lock it had kept it from opening all the way, but it opened its enough to see a shimmering magic symbol on the floor of the center room. 
My eyes widened and I quickly retreated back into the closet. My legs come up to my chest, my arms wrapping around them, and I begin to cry. Quietly, but before I knew it, I was being shaken. 

“Young lady, are you alright?” A man’s voice pulled me from an unconscious state. 
I screamed trying to back away, ‘he was back and there to kill me’ those were my first thoughts. 
“Shh- its ok, its ok, I’m not here to hurt you.” He man comforted. 
I calmed down, taking a deep breath. Looking up to the man, my eyes were drawn to the police badge on his chest, and reached out to touch it.
“Yeah, that’s right. I’m a policeman.” He smiled at me. 
I took another deep breath, I could still strongly smell the blood, the death, the loneliness sinking into me. I was the only survivor.
“What is your name?” The policeman asked me. 
“Sab.” 
“Alright Sab, I want you to stay here for me ok? I’m going to make a call.” He stood up from where he crouched in the doorway of the closet. I only nodded in answer, not moving. 
He did what he said he was going to do, but as soon as he put the phone to his ear a dark shadow was cast over the entire room. 
ROAAARRRRR!!!! The loud roar shook the building and everything in it. The policeman looked around, I did the same, then we both made eye contact. As he was about to turn his attention back to the person who just picked up the phone, blood began to drip from his forehead, and large tear marks across his chest appeared, his badge going flying and blood beginning to soak into his clothes.
I screamed, as she shadow formed into a large sabertooth tiger, glowing yellow eyes, and a bloody front paw. 
“Officer Brant. Come in Officer Brant?!” Loud voices spoke from the phone that dropped along with the body of the officer.
I started to feel like I was hyperventilating as I watched the body drop and the shadow start to dissolve before my eyes. The phone was still on and I was once again left frozen in fear and with a racing mind. I was so unsure of what to do, time slipped by, and sooner than I knew it police lights were outside the orphanage. With the new light into the dark room, I looked down at myself, I was covered in sweat, but there was blood on me. Blood I did not remember ever getting on me. 
“There is a little girl in here.”
“Yes Alive!” 
“Get her out of there.”
“Stay away!” I roared. I felt my body grow heavy, it felt like it was stretching, my teeth escaped my mouth and came to rest on my lips. I huffed, my cheek burned. I stepped back into the closet. I turned around. I had a furry four legged body.
“She is a saber demon child!” A man hollered from somewhere in front of m.

That was all I really remembered from that night, but I thought nothing could get any worse, but I was wrong, very wrong.
