Chapter 13: Grow the F Up

  Sean, Mycal, Daniel and Lamar sat in Lamar’s workshop, Lamar at his work bench and the others on a couch and a chair he had in the shop. Lamar workshop was just like any other, he had tools all strewn about and weapons he was currently working on. It was a few hours since the fight in the park. Lamar waited until he got back to his shop before he fully healed himself. He didn’t want to do it in front of Chris, even though they dated Lamar never told him about his full abilities.

  “So are we going to talk about what happened?” Mycal asked.

  “What do you mean?” Lamar replied.

  “With you in the park and letting those werewolves beat you up like they did.” Daniel said as he grabbed a water out of Lamar’s mini fridge.

  “You guys were the one telling me that I need to hold back and not use my full power, besides there was a veil placed over the park so my magic was subdued.”

  Daniel hurled the water bottle at Lamar with great force and speed like a pitcher throwing a fastball. Lamar caught the bottle inches away from it making devastating contact with his face.

  “What the hell dude!” Lamar yelled.

  “Case and point. You don’t need magic to stop a bunch of werewolves, I know you always have one of your weapons on you, you could have easily defended yourself.” Sean jumped in and said, they were all looking at him like he was in the wrong and it was making Lamar upset.

  “How would it of had look if a mage started fighting hand to hand like a Warrior class or a Chasseur class? Even Shooters have more hand to hand experience than a mage does. I would have open myself up for questions, questions that I don’t feel like answering or continuing to lie about. You guys act like I wanted to get the shit kicked out of me. That I wanted to be in pain until I got here and was able to just instantly heal. I have a bigger responsibility than you guys do, that’s just facts.” Lamar slammed the water bottle on the table.

  “What about Chris.”

  “What about him?”

  “He couldn’t keep you from getting hurt, isn’t he supposed to be the king of the werewolves?” Daniel said.

  Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  “He did what he could, the veil kept him from using all of his powers as well. You guys weren’t even there so the fact that you are jumping down my throat over this is laughable.” Lamar was annoyed, they always had a problem with Chris from the beginning. At first he thought it was because Chris was a werewolf but it seems like it’s more than that, but Lamar could never figure out what it was and why they act like this when it came to him.

  “Are you done?” Mycal asked.

  “Done with what?”

  “This tantrum that you are throwing.” Mycal replied.

  Lamar eyes flashed blue, he clenched his fist and begun to walk towards Mycal, Mycal eyes flashed red and hew begun walking towards Lamar. The intensity in the room was palpable, Sean and Daniel both got in between the two of them before it came to blows.

  “Both of you calm down.” Sean said pushing Lamar back.

  “Really man you are going to use berserk on him?” Daniel said to Mycal as he pushed him back. Berserk was a form that all Warrior class can use, they strength and speed multiplies tenfold, they can only hold this form normally for five minutes. Once the time runs out they powers have to recharge which can take almost an hour to do so, and during that time they are defensive less. That’s why they only use that form as a last resort. It is a great asset when it is used right.

  “I wasn’t going to use it, I just wanted to scare him.” Mycal said as he sat down on Lamar’s work bench.

  “So now you are powerless for about an hour because you were trying to scare him.” Sean said placing air quotes around scare him.

  “You both need to grow the F up.” Daniel said.

  “How is this any of my fault? He came at me sideways.” Lamar said.

  “You’re not innocent either, I seen your eyes flash, what you were going to send a lightning bolt through the building?” Daniel said.

  “No.” Lamar said meekly.

  “So what now?” Sean said.

  “I called Roberto and told him to bring Crystal, they should be here when the sun goes down.” Mycal answered.

  “Why Crystal too?” Lamar asked confused.

  “That was my idea,” said Sean, “this is the safest place for her just in case someone tries to go after her again, we still don’t know what dusker or duskers are working with or was working with the Carl vampire”

  “I guess you do have a point.”

  “This is new territory for all of us. Have you been able to find anything else out about this whole pregnancy?” Mycal asked Lamar.

  “I did a bit of research, and from talking with Crystal she does have enhanced healing abilities and strength, so I think that’s what has led her to be able to with stand the vampire pregnancy.”

  “Does she have any other powers?” Daniel was now curious about.

  “If you’re asking if she falls into a class, no she doesn’t. Her mother did train her how to fight and use some weapons but other than that she is human.”

  The guys around for a few hours discussing what their next move should be, Mycal and Lamar both apologized to one another and agreed to disagree. They were in deep conversation when there was a knock at the door and then it opened.

  “If you guys are done with whatever this is can you come out front you have visitors.” Elle said popping her head into the workshop.
