After the incursion in the farm Jonh and Sam were going to reep the reward. So, they pull up to the farm to meet the owner and see the creature.

"Sam, Thank you so much, I will pay-"

"No need bud call any time, just sorry for the barn."

"pffff....That’s nothing!! Better to be alive than lose some bucks."

"Can we see the carcass, yet?"

Walking the path to the barn they see It siluatte. It’s body was covered in fur as wolf but It’s figure was human like.The beast was lying with It’s abdomen up. The body was full of bullet holes. The trio poke around and removes some parts of the creature.

"I’am with Jonh, come to reep the reward. Tell them to go f-"

"fine we are comming too. copy"

*vrrrrrohhhhm*

As said by Mike the federal agents were in town. Dozens of military vehicles with the US coat of arms were stationed on the streets. Futhermore almost the entire town gather for the unusual visit.

*slam car door*

"Damn, the place is packed."

"Let’s find Mike first, maybe he is with Carol."

As they pass through the crowd they feel a hand grabbing their sholders. It was Mike and he had bring Carol and Owen with him.

"(sleepy) Hi dad, breakfast when ?"

"Just wait a little, this is important to dad."

*pat* *pat*

*Hi honey.*

*Sorry for not talking to you in the morni-*

"It’s alright, Mike told all about It."

*Blushes*

"Now that the love doves got their chance, what’s this fuss is all about?"

"Ask to the ex-mil, He might know a thing or two."

"How am I suppose to know, I am not in contact with the goverment any-"

*toc* *toc*

the noise crowd stops to listen the man in the stand.

"...... It’s a great pleasure to have you all here. My name is Sargent Milles and I’am here to represent the interin goverment of the United states of america."

"(whispering) He wants to use us as cannon fowder, don’t they?"

"(whispering) Don’t think so, they would all ready mobilize my first."

"…..My fellow It’s with a heavy hearth that I inform you that Dallas has fallen……"

*murmering* *murmering*

"So, with that being said We must evacute every town east of the Mississipi river. A convoy will realocate the maximum of people in trucks and will escort civilian trailers too."

"In a week the convoy will pass through the town please be aware with that. Have a nice day."

The man steps out of the stand and exit the building. The crowd was left divided and worried. The man refuse to answer any question.

"What do you think Mike ?"

"If what he said is true. Then…..we must get the hell out here."

Jonh glances at his family.

"Better be safe than sorry"

*grabs*

"Dad am hungry"

"All right, we are going to the dinner right away."

They exit the building discussing the next move. But they are suddenly aprouch by miles and some military personel.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Good morning mister saverin. How has It been."

"…… morning sir, is something to matter?"

The sargents comes closer to Jonh

"I heard that you killed a werewolf in the past few days."

"……Yes."

"Do you have time to talk. I would like you to jo-"

Owen pulls his father trousers

"Daddy let’s go!!!"

"Maybe another day, my son is hungry."

"I see maybe another then."

The sargent and his soldiers leave. The group his creep out by the interection. But they decide to go to dinner and maybe think about a plan to move out.

*ding ding*

"here’s your coffe sir and his your breakfast little one."

*munch munch*

"Hey, slow down You’re gonna chocke yourself."

"(gulp) sorry."

Mike and Sam order their food. But they are too worried about the next step.

"So, What’s the the damn fed told you?"

"Nothing special they want me to join. Since I killed that thing"

"Fucking farmer snitched on us!!"

"Don’t let that get to your nerves in a week everybody would have known that."

"This is strange they haven’t mobilise us veterans and the national guard, something ain’t right."

"(tsk) we can’t do nothing but follow the orders."

*ding ding*

Owen and his dragon were playing in the bed and his mother was sowing a small cap for him. The day that the convoy was going to pass through the town had come. Mike and Sam were helping Jonh set up the trailer to the truck.

"Thanks for the help Guys."

"Pleasure to help."

"pfff. That’s nothing."

"……I think there’s something that I need to show you. But promisse me to keep It secret."

"Loud and clear."

"Fine by me."

Jonh aprouches the trailer door. He hesitates a for a moment but decide to do It anyways.

*knoc knock*

"Owen come out and bring the thing…….with you"

"(muffled) Right away!!!!"

*door opens*

The door swings open to reveal Owen holding the brown creature. Her golden like patterns on her skin Shine by the early morning rays.

"Heh, that’s a funny looking lizard If I seem one."

"Don’t tell me, thats a dragon!!!"

"Yup, I was suprised as you all are……Even thought I was imagining things."

The dragon freed himself from Owen’s grasp and descends to the soil. While touching the soil he opens his brownish wings reveling patterns of golden color that flash in the sun.

"Quite the beautiful creature."

Sam bends down to touch the strange creature

"Fuahhhhh!!!!"

*sizzle sizzle*

"the fuck-"

Sam is thrown back by the little fireball made by phyro. Owen comes running and hugs The dragon.

"Nooo Phyro Uncle Sam is friend, Friend, Ok?"

"Hahahahahahha. Great, the thing breaths fire."

Jonh and Mike helps Sam to get up.

"Understand Now. That’ why you all need to keep shut."

"That’ll will be quite difficult. If the feds inspect the trailer your’re fucked."

"Ahhh. Hope that doesn’t happen……my son has bonded quite well with phyro."

Owen and phyro enter the trailer as Carol pops her head out the trailer.

"honey, It’s almost time."

"right let’s get going."

Mike, Sam and Jonh enter the truck and drive to the main road. Owen feels excited to go on trip. But his mother has her doubt about the ordeal.

It was not a long time till they could see the town. Litter with car lights everyone waits anxious for the come of the convoy.

the convoy had arrived. But It seem a shell of his former self. Just some humvees and logistic trucks were presents, no heavy armoured vehicles nor tanks in sights.

*murmuring* *murmuring

"Another one can enter here!!!!"

"In line people!!! In line!!!"

*hustle* * hustle*

The military personel load people and their bagage on the trucks. The ones that had working vehicles just got in line. Owen’s group enters the line. Unfortunely with such big bagage It was impossible to not get the attention of the personel in the area.

*toc toc*

*sweats*

"(muffled) sir can you lower the window."

*slides down the window*

"What’s the problem, pal ?"

"The trailer is too large get rid off or you will need to be in last."

*radio static*

"Yes…..Yes…..but sir….I understand."

while the young soldier was talk to his superior one thing was running through Sam minds. “They wanna kill us, huh, should I run them over now”.

*grips*

Mike put his hand over Sam hands.

"(silently) Stay calm. Now is not the time."

"Is mister Severing in here."

Jonh sticks his neck from the passanger seats in the back. back of truck

"Yes that’s me."

"he is……I understand…..Sorry for the incovinence you’re free to go. Safe trip"

"thank you."

The young soldier returns to the front of the convoy. they all sigh in relief. The convoy moved on from the small town. Owen could only wave as he saw what the town get distant and more distant as they went.

The trip was calm even with the bumps of the old roads. Owen looked mesmorized at the tall buldings and structure that he never saw. In contrast the adults saw them as the imortalization of their defeat.

*car bump*

Owen curious with the new view starts pointing at the buldings.

" what’s that mom?"

"That’s a gas station dear."

"and that?"

"That’s a office building dear."

*picks up*

"look phyro!!! look!!!"

"(sleepy) fuaahh"

The time passed quickly as the trip went on. As the night fell and the star shined bright at Texan-Louisiana border the crew stayed alert. Jonh, Sam and Mike slept with guns in hand.

*bush rustling*

"Jonh, wake up. wake up."

"(sleepy) what is It Mike?"

"shhhhh…..listen"

*rustle rustle*

*(faint) wraahhh.*

They slowly got out of the car. Mike actived his night vision.

"there!!!!"

*bang bang bang bang*

*whimpiring*

"think we hit It Mike."

They follow the sound and found the creature. It was fataly hit but still breathing

"Adult?"

"no too small."

Jonh pulls out his radio.

*press record*

"(silently) what’re you doing Jonh ?"

*press stop*

"Something that will help us."

"I Will despach now."

*bang*

When they come back a large group of military personel were scoulting the area and asking the town folks.

Mike and Jonh sneakly tried to pass the group but the same young soldier them.

"what are you doing mister Severing?"

"(sweats)uhhhh"

"We found a small werewolf next to the convoy and dispatch him."

"Ohhh….Thank you."

Jonh and Mike were giving shoulder to him. But he hesitant ask for something.

"Mister Severing we found a nest about 2.5 miles from here. We request that you come along to destroy in the morning."

*tsk*

"fine wake me up when you are ready."

Jonh and Mike went back to sleep as the soldier smugs at the response of Jonh.

In the side lines Owen listen and he too awaits for dawn.

When The day break a full geared soldier stand in front of the car window

*toc toc

"huh this early? ahhhhh!!!!"

the soldier take off his sun glasses just to reveal the young soldier from early .He waves Sam.

*rolls back window*

"the heck boy almost give me a heart attack!!!"

"Sorry sir."

The crew is awaken by the comotion and ready themselves for the mission.

*slams trailer's door

"I will go too!!!"

"Fuahhh."

Suddenly Owen burst through the trailer door wearing the cap with bear ears that his mother sewed for him.

"Is that a…..a dragon?"

"goddamit."

The soldier aims at the phyro. But Jonh hastly places his hand on the rifle and lowers It down.

"Keep this between us, ok?"

"You know very well I can’t, mister Saverin."

The soldier turns to Owen.

"Do you wanna come with us?"

"Yess!!"

*radio static*

"Special package. Be aware."

With no time to waste they went to the rally point a few meters away from the convoy. There two other soldiers were waiting for them.

*salute*

"Good morning tenent Cris!!"

"Huh, so you do have a rank."

"I don’t wear often, but they know my name, so."

"Are you hero mister?"

"huh?…..No far from It….."

"So this is the “special package”?"

"Off course and this one too."

The young soldier pick ups phyro.

"fuaahhhh"

*sizzle*

"alright down you go buddy."

They get into the vehicle and speed off to the designated place.

"Let me pass the details to yall."

He points at a map showing various marks. but he enfasizes on a red circle area.

"This is the location They probably came from this direction."

"How many tangos?"

"Ex-military? service men?"

"Ex-mil. Golf war."

"Thanks for the service sir. But unfortunely we don’t know their numbers. Just in case cover yourself with this"

The soldier hands out a a lotion to Sam, Mike, Jonh and Owen.

"What ‘bout the money, the bucks, huh?"

"If we get to the base we will reward you all…..handsomely."

The Car come to a sudden stop.

"AAaahhh! The fuck?"

"This is the place. we Can park It here."

They park next to a treeline on the bank of a hill. With guns in hands the group treck up the hill to overlook the site.

"A suburb. Quite few years I have not seem one."

"Getting nostalgic, mister Saverin?"

"No….Just……"

"Cris saw some movements on the street."

"Alright let’s get to work."

The team went down the hill and seek cover behind a house overlooking the main street. They lower their tone of voice and get to a battle position as they pile up in the conner of the house.

"Can you see where they went, privete?"

"Negative sir."

"Damn."

Jonh pulls out his radio. He plays the record on his radio and throws It in the streets.

*radio static*

*weep weep*

"The heck you doing???"

"shhh look."

*rustle rustle*

*sniff sniff*

As the werewolf was checking his surrouding the privete aims his shoot.

*pew pew*

*thud*

"Great work. The monster came from the third house on the right."

They carefully walk towards the location and saw two more guarding the door of the house. Jonh aims his rifle at them but is stoped by Cris.

"wait you don’t have a supress-"

*Bang bang*

*thud thud*

The two man look behind them to see Owen with the barrel of his gun still smoking.

"Got It dad."

"nice one son."

"hum."

Seeing not a threat they crossed the road to the house.

"Ready the explosives."

"Yes sir!"

Owen picks up Phyro and smug in his face.

"No need mister hero, I got It now say It “foyhhhh” Phyro."

*sizzle sizzle*

"foyhhhhh!!!!"

*boom*

They could only look in awe as the little boy commanded his dragon. In a instant the fireball hit the house engolfing It in flames.

"Thanks for the help……I think."

"Now that’s my newphew! ahahahaha!!!"

*pat pat*

"Good one, son."

The soldiers quietly pack the explosives back. Jonh, Sam and Mike celebrate with Owen and phyro. Cris adjust something in his vest.

"(quietly) Saw that sir?"
