Raw fury
Chapter 4

Jennifer blanched at him. A werewolf? Who was this guy, a lunatic?
“There’s no such thing you weirdo-”

Rakene turned swiftly to face her, opened his mouth lazily and let her see his extending fangs. He slowly advanced on her until she had her back against the wall. She gulped.

“Do you believe in vampires now, Jennifer?”
She was silent. Rakene closed his mouth, letting the fangs retreat back into his gums. Taking a step back, he went to the window.

“Now that you believe me, I can speak to you and know you are taking me seriously,” Rakene looked at her. “I have killed your friend, Jasmine. I was feeding. She died painlessly, so do not fret. Also, that was a werewolf, even though I have not seen one in half a century.”

Jennifer just stared at him. Jasmine…..dead?
“You-you murderer!”
“I am technically a murderer, yes, but aren’t humans? They slaughter animals all the time.”
“We do it to survive!” Jennifer spat.
“So do we.” Rakene replied simply.
“We-we don’t kill and eat people!”
Rakene turned to face her.

“Ah, you are wrong there. Cannibals, sadists, murderers, they are all humans, and they slay and eat one another sometimes. You are like animals to us, Jennifer, but at least we have the courtesy to give you respect. Few of us vampires ever slaughter humans for the fun of it, nor do we skin you alive. Be thankful I have just fed.”

“You murdered my friend! Why in hell should I be grateful?”
Rakene did not reply. Instead, he went to the window and looked out into the night.
“Because she would have died anyway. That werewolf must be stopped. A werewolf can kill someone much more brutally than any vampire. He has until the moon goes down, and then he will transform back. However, I have only until the first ray of light hits the sky, than I must retreat. I will not waste my time arguing with a teenager.”

Rakene began to climb out of the window. By an arm grabbed his shoulder. Turning to growl at her, he stopped with her stern expression. Lifting a questioning eyebrow, Rakene waited.

“Look, I know you killed my friend, and I don’t forgive you for that, but I’m talking to a vampire, and that is way too cool to pass. But what if the werewolf comes back here? What can I do?”

Rakene thought over the odds.

“It is likely he will return. He came to you in the middle of transformation, meaning he was seeking help from you. You are student. You are closest to the school. Once he is fully transformed he will remember you both in his wolfish, and human, mind. He will come back for help and for food,” Rakene mused. “A werewolf is allergic to silver. To embed silver inside him, like a gun bullet, would eventually kill him. To slash or stab him would weaken him. Find a knife of some sort, and have your wits about you. A werewolf will not obey you if you chuck a bone.”
“And what’s your name?” Jennifer asked.
“Rakene.”

Rakene dropped from the window, landing lightly on the ground.
“Wait!” Jennifer called. “I can’t fight I werewolf! What if it comes here?!”

Rakene slowly looked up, pale green eyes reflecting stars as he looked up at her.
“Then I’ll be back.”
