Chapter 15 - Ch.15: Secrets

"So the Alpha's gonna send his beta to pick up this stuff from the deal and be the one who does these transactions from now on huh" said Shaun as he is picking up the crystal crates, "Yeah seems like it, you saved my bacon out there Shaun, thanks and you got me a better business partner to boot, seems like destiny for you to come knocking on my door if I do say so myself" Elisha says as she looks through some paperwork on the inside of the doorway, "Hey do you wanna see something that I've been keeping secret, I've been waiting on the right buyer to come along, but I think I should let you have it as a reward in exchange for saving my ass and my business".

Shaun puts the crates in the corner and looks at her "What do you mean secret?" Elisha smiles and walked over to the far back corner where a tarp covering up a basement door, opening up the door Elisha starts to decend, "Why not follow me and see for yourself" she says as she disappears into the darkness, Shaun looks into the basement, still able to see due to having what he likes to call Darkvision, and sees a long stairway leading deep underground, "Hmm, I guess I missed this when I did my sweep" Shaun says before decending into the basement after Elisha.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs Shaun looks around and takes in the shapes in the dark, shelves lining the walls filled with all sorts of objects and herbs, some where really rare, Elisha was standing at the back next to something covered with a sheet, "Elisha what is it you have under there and why does it smell like shifter down here?" Questioned Shaun, the sound of voices seems to have woken up whatever was inside as it starts to growl and shake the sheet, Elisha flips the switch behind her and lights flicker on all over the basement, revealing the shelves and oddities dotted around the place, "Why not see for yourself suger" Elisha says as she pulls the sheet off revealing a cage underneath.

Inside the cage was a man, maybe only a few years older than Shaun, with bright ginger hair and a matted scruffy beard sitting at the corner trying to break the bars, clothes torn and looking desperately to find a way out, Shaun's eyes widen at the sight of the man in the cage, "Elisha what is this, why do you have someone trapped in a cage in your basement?" Shaun asked while stepping back in shock, "Now calm down Shaun, this is something that's so rare that they haven't been seen in a few decades now and there are only a handful left in existence, I present to you one of the last remaining Lycans, I figured you could trade him in for a huge reward or something you know" said Elisha grinning ear to ear.

Walking upto the cage and crouching near by, Shaun looks at the so called Lycan, "How do you know its a Lycan and not just another shifter?" Elisha pulls out a branch of yellowish green flowers and holds it near the man, "This is how I know" she says as the man starts to freak out and shift, legs elongating and fur sprouting from his now exposed backward facing knee and shins, his snout sprouting from his face and his upper and lower canines sharpening and turning a dull yellow colour, black claws extending from his now enlarged hands, his eyes glowing a deep orange and the rest of him growing to almost the full size of the cage with very little room to move.

"Does this prove that I was telling the truth suger" Elisha says while stepping back with a triumphant smile, Shaun looked at the Lycan with a look of shock at seeing another one since his mother, "How did you find him, and how did you managed to catch him, Lycans are ment to be some of the strongest SN's out there" said Shaun, "It took a lot of people and we ended up losing a few just tracking him up over in Iceland, and we ended up losing a few in actually catching him too" Elisha said with a sorrowful look on her face.

"Elisha I'm gonna need a few minutes with him alone, to give him his last words before I take him, if that's alright with you" Shaun says with his eyes glowing red at the Lycan in the cage. Elisha sees the reaction Shaun has at seeing the Lycan and presumes its a species thing and starts to walk out, "Sure thing suger, just don't get too close, don't want you getting hurt now do we", after hearing the door close and letting his eyes go back to normal Shaun approaches the cage, The Lycan seeing Shaun come near tries to swipe at him but Shaun just side steps and stays just out of reach, "I know you can understand me, so just calm down, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm actually going to try to help, if you can shift back for a second so you can see something, without you attacking me that is" Shaun says while putting his hands up as a sign of surrender.

The Lycan looks at Shaun for a long time before huffing and shifting back, returning back to himself but staying at the opposite side of the cage, "So what do you want Vamp, and what do you mean by help me, why would a Vamp want to help me out, your kind tried to exterminate mine" growls the lycan, Shaun just looks as the man and sighs, "That's a fair point if I was just a Vamp, I would just end you and be done with it, however..." Shaun takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, the man looks on in confusion at Shaun's words, "What does he mean if he was JUST a Vamp, I can smell that he is" the lycan thinks as he looks on in skepticisim, but as he watches Shaun's appearance starts to change as his hair inverts becoming more red with white going through it and his skin starts to get more colour, Shaun sighs and opens his eyes, which have now reversed their colour with orange on the outside and grey on the inside, "Take a whiff and tell me if your senses still tell you I am a Vamp" Shaun says as he spreads his arms wide and looks at the Lycan.
