Hah....hah.....hah"

Dark tried to block out the other's panting, but they had been pedalling for at least 2 hours now. 

After leaving the schools gates they realised there was a lot less zombies on the streets than they'd have thought.

So all it took was some manoeuvring and the angry zombies were left it their wake.

Right now they were pedalling through a small forest that lay between the city and their destination, luckily the school was pretty much on the border of the city so they didn't have to pedal far.

Dark looked at Harry and the girls behind him, who looked like they were on the brink of collapse. But that wasn't Darks problem, that was theirs.

So Dark continued to pedal happily through the forest path, until a bloodcurdling howl penetrated their ears.

It surprised them so much that Nisse actually fell off her bike, painfully hitting the dirt.

Harry stopped and went to help her up, Akane soon followed.

But dark leaped off his bike and tore the baseball bat he had strapped to his back off, then he got into a defensive stance. He could feel it, the impending doom that was rapidly approaching them.

And it was fucking fast!

"WE GOT A PROB-" Was all Dark managed to shout before a gigantic shadow leaped from the bushes and with but a swipe of its clawed hand, tore off Harry's head.

Dark ignored the head that flew past him and just looked at the monstrosity before him, he could describe it in one word, terrifying.

It stood at roughly 2 to 3 metres tall, had a wolfs head, a furred human torso and arms and two wolf legs bent backwards, but what made it so terrifying was the look in its eyes.

They didn't look lifeless like a zombies, they looked mad, an insane amount of pure undiluted anger was emanating from the things eyes.

 The thing turned to Dark and swiped at him, all Dark managed to do was raise his bat to block the insanely fast clawed hand.

Dark felt a jarring motion and before he knew it, he was midair. The bat been ripped from his grip and hurled far into the forest.

Then Dark felt a crushing impact as he hit the trunk of a tree which splintered on impact and shuddered as Dark pounded into the thing.

Dark rebounded off the tree and landed face first into the ground, breaking his nose.

He coughed and felt a large amount of blood in his mouth, he assumed he broke several-- if not all of his ribs. He tried to raise an arm to pick himself up but was instead met with a piercing pain from his elbow.

"My arms broken too?" He thought depressingly.

All this happened within the time span of only one or two seconds, showing that the monster was way out of Darks league. Dark could only lift his head and watch the monster tear a screaming Akane in half, then crush Nisse's head, then turn and begin walking in Darks direction.

"So this is it huh? Wow, I sure didn't last very long. Oh well, might as well try."

Dark muttered under his breath, then he activated inner-demon.

He felt his already red vision grow even redder, then he felt two somethings sprout from his head and his canines grow.

Then using his uninjured arm, he pushed himself to his feet, ignoring the intense waves of pain assaulting him from his chest.

But by the time he was on his feet the monster was already standing in front of him, only a foot separating the two.

Dark tried to throw a punch into the monsters torso, using every last scrap of his strength he had left to him.

His fist hit the monsters solar plexus with a loud crunch.

Dark barely managed to stifle the scream that rose in his throat as he looked at his broken hand.

The monster just placed a clawed hand on Darks chest and pushed him down to the ground, Dark could only look into the monsters eyes, which now had a different light to them. An almost sorry light.

Then the monster opened its massive jaws and bit down onto Darks shoulder, this time dark screamed openly.

The monsters jaws clamped down, crushing Darks shoulder blades and his already broken rib cage.

Then the monster opened its jaws and released Dark, who could only look at the beast with hatred.

But the beast just looked back sadly, then it did something Dark didn't expect.

It spoke.

"I am sorry child, but cannot live with this curse anymore... Forgive me child..."

Then the beast slowly turned to ashes, which were swept away with the breeze.

Dark just layer there, not understanding a damn thing about what just happened, but his confusion was soon interrupted with a notice.
