Tommy

The detention was over, finally. It was a long boring hour and I was glad to be leaving the school but that didn’t mean I was done with school. I still had my homework to complete for tomorrow and I still had to find out if that soul sucker was still hanging about, if so I would have to stop him.

We were leaving the school when I turned to Merton. "I bumped into a soul sucker last night?"

"What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" He wondered.

"It slipped my mind with everything else going on and getting detention," I replied. I should have probably told him by now, but I had been more preoccupied with my own personal problem. Fighting the soul sucker wasn’t something I wanted to do when I couldn’t control my anger and inner Wolf because I could end up hurting someone, unintentionally myself.

"Did you stop him?" He asked, intrigued. "Did you Wolf him up?"

"Of course I stopped him. He was trying to take this girl’s soul but I couldn’t kill him then," I told him.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because I didn’t know how," I said. "But after we have finished our homework we can go out looking for him."

"It’s going to be packed and eventful night," he stated.

"We’re not going to have much sleep tonight are we?"

"Doesn’t look like it," he agreed as we approached his hearse that was parked in the school parking lot.

It took some getting used to driving around in a hearse. We drove around town in a car that was meant to be used to carry dead people; that wasn’t normal. What highschool seniors that you know of drive around in one? Well I couldn’t call myself a normal highschool senior because I was a werewolf who was the captain of my school’s football team. Merton on the other hand had no special powers. He was just a regular human but he wasn’t exactly normal. That’s pretty obvious since he owned a hearse, called his room in his parent’s basement his lair, and he was best friends with a werewolf. We both also fought evil supernatural beings to keep people of Pleasant Ville safe. Well it was me who did the fighting because Merton wasn’t much of a fighter. In fact he was a total wimp when it came to a lot of things, that’s why I always found myself saving him. He was the one who mainly came up with the plans and knew what it was, that we were actually dealing with.

Merton opened the doors and we got inside. Once we had shut the doors, he reversed carefully out of the parking space, and then drove towards his house.

We arrived outside his house minutes later and headed in side.

In the lair we started on our homework. Merton was stood at up and was trying to explain what we had to do in more detail, as I sat there listening. He just happened to be better at explaining than the teacher. Once he had finished explaining and had finished our homework we researched Soul Suckers. We was looking for any type of weak spot that they had. Anything would do as long as it stopped him from killing people.

"Found anything?" I asked my best friend.

"Not really. There is many different types of soul sucking creatures. I think it’s best if we found out what type it is first," he replied. Then I remembered the last time we encountered a Soul Sucker. We managed to defeat him with a mirror by showing him his own reflection and it had caused his powers to bound back onto him, killing him. Surely that would work again.

"What about last time? I killed that Soul Sucker with that mirror, last time. Wouldn’t that work again?" I wondered.

"I guess, but that’s if we can get close enough, and doesn’t take our souls before we can put that plan into action. Besides I think we just got lucky that day. Who’s to say it will work this time? He could be harder to stop than the last one." He replied.

"It’s worth a shot though right?" I asked.

"Eh," he said shrugging his shoulders. "Sure why not," he added.

"What time is it?" I asked. Maybe we could go hunt him down to night to stop him, before he could hurt anyone else.

"11:30," Merton answered, after looking at the little black clock on his desk.

"Should we go out and find him. I think it would be best if we stop him as soon as possible. Who knows how many people’s souls he has taken so far. Last time that Soul Sucker had taken nearly all the towns souls, my mum and dad’s, and your sister’s included and I don’t want that to happen again."

"Exactly we don’t know how many he has took, if he had even taken any at all. Besides it’s getting late already and we have School tomorrow."

"When has that ever stopped us from hunting down bad guys? And people are in danger,"

"You’re right, let’s go," he said and I headed for the door.

Merton

Before I followed Tommy out the basement door, I grabbed the little mirror from my desk. It was getting late but Tommy was right people were in danger and if we didn’t stop him people could lose their souls, our families included.
