Lucian tapped the side of his cheek with his two fingers, to verify what he thought was his imagination.
"You…" Lucian clenched his other fist. "Son of a b*tch!"
Lucian glared back at the Werewolf who stood behind in, frustration and annoyance in his eyes were obvious.
Riven, was honestly just as surprised as Lucian was, looking at his hand he could see that his nails had slightly elongated into sharp claws and he felt like he had gotten a thousand times stronger that he was before.
This power…It's incredible…Now with this…
He looked up at the Vampire, shifting into a fighting stance.
"I'm gonna make you eat those words!"
Seeing this sudden confidence in the Werewolf made Lucian grit his teeth so hard to the extent a vein had popped out from the side of his head.
"That's so, huh? Well prepare to get the sh*t beat out of you!"
In one swift motion, the spiky haired teenager charged at Riven, giving him a swift kick on the side but thanks to his enhanced reflexes he was able to block it with his forearms at the last second.
But the impact made him skid to the side, but he stomped a foot on the ground to regain his balance.
This body is amazing…I would be crippled if that kind of attack had hit me.
Riven squatted and launched himself at the other using his powerful legs.
He closed the distance with a single leap attempting to claw at Lucian, who leaned back dodging the attack.
The Vampire, making use of the other's momentum, swung a foot that met the Werewolf's jaw.
He's fast…
The bi-colored hair leapt back wiping his jaw, he needed to analyze his opponent, rushing in just because he got stronger won't do any good.
"What are you scared now?" the Vampire taunted
Riven smirked. "Like hell, just thinking of the best way to make you feel humiliated."
"Big words coming from someone like you." Lucian lunged forward at him, throwing a punch.
Riven could dodge, but instead of the latter he decided launch a blow of his own.
The two fists collided in a loud resounding impact, sending shockwaves vibrating through the air.
The two were now caught in a fierce test of strength, but the impact of their blows made their knuckles throb.
"That's…some strength you've gotten all of a sudden." Lucian sneered.
"Yeah, same goes for you...Scumbag!"
Using his free hand, the Werewolf drove his fist into the other's stomach making him cough spit and stumble backwards clutching his stomach taking a few pained breaths.
Seeing this Riven held his fists in front of his face with a cocky grin, "Looks like I'm finally a match for you."
The Vampire stood still for a moment before his shoulders moved up and down as he chuckled to himself.
"You know, at first I hated you due the fact you were a Werewolf but now…" The teen lifted his head, his eyes fixated on the one in front of him. "I just realized that it's your very existence that pisses me off!"
He charged forward, swinging his arm at Riven connecting clean with the other's ribs and there was a loud crack.
This bastard—!
In an act of retaliation, Riven also swung a fist, crashing right between the other's temples, breaking his nose.
The impact from both blows sent the two flying in the opposite directions.
The Werewolf struggled to get himself off the ground, fighting the pain as his side cried in agony.
I can feel my body healing but this pain makes my head spin.
"Don't tell me you're already tired now!"
The teenager looked up to see Lucian coming down with a kick, he quickly rolled to the side just narrowly escaping the attack as the ground cracked under the impact.
He pushed himself of the floor immediately, skidding back.
His body was starting to feel the fatigue as sweat trailed down his chin. Luckily, the wounds he got were healing themselves slowly but it didn't stop the pain he felt.
He looked at the spot where he had been, seeing the large crack that indented the ground, he clenched his teeth
"I thought you were gonna tank that. Did I actually scare you?" the Vampire smirked fiendishly.
The bi-colored hair teen narrowed his eyes at the other, taking a leap back, he landed on a boulder and pushed himself off the side, shooting out with a bang.
"You don't scare sh*t outta me!"
Spinning mid-air, he went for a kick to the taunting teenager's head but it was blocked by the other's forearm.
Lucian smirked as he used to close range to grab Riven by the head and drove his knee into it, before that attack could even register, he landed an almighty uppercut which sent the Werewolf airborne for a few seconds before landing onto the floor.
Blood had flown from his nose and mouth as Riven lay on the floor fingers twitching but unable to respond.
"Tch, serves you…right!" Lucian panted as he shook the hand that he used to attack earlier "Damn mutts and your stupid bones, I almost broke my own hand."
After a while it had seemed that Riven wasn't getting up anytime soon, but his claws hadn't reverted yet but the Vampire wasn't concerned about this part.
Walking towards the unconscious teen, he touched his nose which had almost healed.
"He was actually much stronger than I expected in this form, and this wasn't even the normal Partial morph…this retard might be a problem if I don't start to take him seriously."
He let out an annoyed huff as he slammed a fist into his palm, "I'll just need to beat the hell outta you even more when that time comes."
The spiky haired then remembered what he had said that invoked the fight before letting out a sigh and pocketing his hands still staring down at Riven.
"Fighting for family huh? I wish my family treated me like yours maybe I would have been a different person."
Standing there a couple more moments, he turned to leave, leaving his defeated rival on the floor once more.
Just then, Riven's fingers twitched once more before grabbing the dirt.
Lucian turned his head immediately he heard a snarl from behind him, he looked to see Riven standing but he looked different, his eyes looked more like that of a wolf, saliva trailed down his chin, and his claws were twitching violently.
"What the—? Is he…wait don't tell me…" Lucian subconsciously took a few steps back.
Riven growled—a deep, guttural sound. Lowering himself on all fours like a wild animal.
Lucian quickly snapped himself into focus, getting into a defensive stance as he cautiously eyed the other.
"Damnit you mutt! Why now? Don't you have any control over yourself right now?!" the Vampire barked, frustration in his eyes.
Riven just snarled in response, Lucian caught a glimpse of his teeth as they had lengthened into fangs, making him more anxious.
"I'm in real trouble now." He muttered under his breath.
Without warning, the now feral Riven rushed at the Vampire jumping in the air with a clawed hand and swiped down.
Lucian quickly ducked to the side as the Werewolf's claws effortless tore into the tree behind the other.
"Crap! I can't let him touch me…" Lucian stopped mid sentence as soon as he saw Riven licked blood of his claws. "When did he?"
Drip.
The Vampire looked down at his arm to see a small but deep cut in it.
"How…did I not notice this? Was it because it was too fast?" he applies pressure to his wound waiting for the healing to kick.
The Werewolf turned his head slowly towards Lucian as he gulped.
"Werewolves. I heard that when they first awaken their powers that there's a tendency for them to lose control. They get stronger and more powerful when they do but that's not the terrifying part…"
Riven snarled at the other, saliva trailing from his canines as he got ready to pounce again.
"What makes them terrifying…is their insatiable lust and craving…for flesh and blood."
The Werewolf dashed at the other again with his arms wide apart.
"This is bad."
