Battle

“Frankie,” Lucas pleasantly replied as he made a simple nod at him. “Good to see you too, what pleasure do you seek coming all the way here?”
“Ah… you do know me all to well I see. Well, if you must know, trade me that beautiful brunette and I’ll let you in on a secret” the blonde replied. He had a French accent but with excellent English pronunciation. His voiced repulsed me. His untied his cuffs and just walk toward us, each move elegant as the other.
“I’m sorry my dear cousin, how about this, let us in on this secret of yours, and we’ll let you go covertly,” Jaden closed the gap between both of them as Lucas stand firmly behind me, his hand across my neck.
“Go??” Frankie response, revolting. “And what is it that consumes my right to ‘go’?”
“The law I presume, other than our own rules, you belong in a prison if I remember correctly,” Lucas said back, still hanging his hand around me. Jaden cracked his knuckle loudly, intentionally.
“Me? In captivity? For what charges?” Frankie gasps and slowly took a few steps behind. He sounded so dramatic.
“Apart from murder, you mean?” Lucas smirked as his hand was as if ready to launch an attack.
“That’s still illegal then?” Frankie begins to move forward. Jaden wouldn’t let him out of his sight. His stench grew as each step his take.
“Yes” Lucas replied. His hand gripped my shoulder. Not painful, but strong and hard. “Plus, you’re a traitor and a stealer. That should be more than enough reason for me to tear your head off” he added. Jaden smirked to that addition. But was it just me, or were there fangs in those smirks? Did it grew in an instant? Though I wasn’t clear, I could have sworn I saw a pointed end on one of those teeth.
“Ouch, cousins, how could you do so to me, am I not ‘family’?” Frankie again sounded so dramatic.
“I never thought of you as family since we last met, Jaden even has a grudge on you and I don’t think he is in a forgiving mood,”(this needs work, change it if you have something better)
Jaden transform instantly without giving Frankie a moment to reply. He speared him right into the bush near the forest. A beam of light caught my eyes coming from above us. The sky was clear. The moon was full and bright. And I could hear Lucas attempting to growl to it. He just smirked, showing a glimpse of his bright teeth.
A moment of silent passed by before a loud howl cries through my ears. Just before Lucas wanted to enter the forest, Jaden was thrown to the street, and rolled over the rocky roads before launching straight at Frankie as he exited the forest.
Frankie was a monster beyond any werewolves. His dark fur covered his humongous body. The scary part of it was his tail, it was like iron. It broke the rocks it comes in contact with. Frankie uses it furiously on Jaden without mercy. Jaden avoided it swiftly before gnawing.
“Shit, he didn’t use the tonic,”
Lucas then released me from his grab before transforming into his so-call alter ego. He jumps so elegant towards Frankie, launching both his arm at him before attempting to bite off his back.
It then became clear to me that Frankie wasn’t himself anymore. This is indeed a monster. A monster lusting on blood and enraged by the moon. Something the twins choose to avoid by drinking the tonic. The strength of both of them couldn’t outwit Frankie’s. He growled violently into the night. The sky showed no mercy on the twins as no clouds were in sight. They made several attempts to stop him from moving, but Frankie was too agile, this agility was beyond words.
Frankie sprang, releasing his razor sharp nails at Lucas. He ducked the swipe before discharging both his leg onto his body, making the counter look like a moonsault.
Lucas then recoil behind me before turning back into a boy. His chest was broad and had a scar near the left side of his packs. The jeans were torn up to his knee. He reached for something inside the boot of the car.
Jaden clawed him before fleeting back. His body unable him to stand or make uppercuts. His best assault weapon was the long, piercing spikes on his back. Frankie sprang onto him, avoiding the spikes but motioning his arms on Jaden’s head. It was as if he wanted to knock him down, pounding him with those humungous arms, without mercy or hesitation.
Jaden couldn’t even howl in pain. What the hell was Lucas looking for? Can’t he see Jaden needs him now? He is pinned down before Frankie gave that up and tried clutching Jaden’s head. Surprisingly, he tried jumping to the back and Frankie got slam on the ground hard.
All Jaden could do then was rolled back onto the ground. Lucas brought a bottle of some kind of liquid on one hand and a sniper on the other. “You’re gonna shoot him?”
“Well, not really. You are. I’m gonna hold him so he can’t catch or avoid the shot, all you need to do is hit any part of his body.”
I just nodded intently, knowing how to do this. For me it was pretty easy. He gave a kiss of the fore head before tearing himself apart into a werewolf. He glided down, aiming for Frankie’s face. He sprang up, tossing Jaden towards Lucas before landing on both legs, but he wasn’t stable, one hand on his abdomen and another on the ground, as if he couldn’t stand straight anymore.
He was punctured by Jaden spikes. One near his belly and another close to his thigh. But Jaden wasn’t doing any better, he just received the beating of a lifetime. Lucas hasted towards Frankie without slowing down.
