Key to the East Ch 5

By brandon m.

Ch 5
Revelation

Brittney couldn't believe her eyes as she watched what BJ did in such a cold blooded manner, the man may have been a bastard but to die that way was just awful to her. How could she live with herself knowing BJ had done this for her, as BJ fell back to the ground on his feet he stood in the dark night wind blowing through his mane and roared a roar of final victory over the count. And as he turned he looked into the tear stained face of Brittney and almost with a revelation of shear sorrow he fell to his knees and roared a mournful cry. But Brittney knew her big brother needed her and hesitantly she went over and touched him on his enourmous shoulder to comfort him... and noticed it getting smaller in fact BJ was getting smaller and she realized he was transforming back to himself. After the painful regression BJ stood up trying to keep his now way to stretched jeans on his hip but it was almost impossible to do and looked at her half groggy and said "You are safe thank God." and fell over and passed out. "NO! BJ wake up i can't carry you back by myself, damn you wake up you big lummox!" Brittney screamed still crying. While Brittney sat there wondering what to do a voice came from the shadow of the trees,"Allow us to help ma'm. He will be taken care of." Out of the forest came Kevin followed by three other men, one of which happened to be Hakim."Oh no you don't! I won't let you, you will just kill him while he is down and i won't allow it, you may think that i don't know what your up to but I...." "SHUT UP!" Kevin shouted, interrupting quite loudly, in fact enough to scare the ravens out of the trees, and quite effectivly making Brittney quiet and scared. "Now then, what i meant was we are going to carry him into town. We are not going to kill him, I promise." Kevin said calmly. "How can you expect me to believe that!? I saw what you guys did to him and if it wasn't for you he would be okay right now and not reeling from transforming into some sort of freak!", Kevin responded, "This point may have merrit however i am not doing this out of the kindness of my heart. Oh no! You see your friend here is going to prevent you from destroying the world." Those words sent Brittney into a quiet, emotionless stare for a moment giving Kevin and his cronies time to get BJ and put him on Hakim's back after he had transformed.

The walk home was quiet for Brittney, she had never been good at talking to people she didn't know. Not to mention guys who had no more than an hour ago tried to make her into the undead bride of the Count. But she finally had to ask it was bugging her to no end. "What did you mean back there?" "What are you talking about ma'am?" "Oh don't give me that bullshit!What did you mean he was going to prevent me from destroying the world." "It will be revealed in due time however right now the most important thing is getting you two back to your village and making sure there is no permanant physical damage to any of BJ's organs or other vitals. The transformation itself can do that adding new muscle development and bone structure. Plus we have to make sure he can still hear." "What do you mean?", Kevin responded, "Well when he transformed his entire hearing system moved sligtly and we have to make sure it shifted back, plus i want him to hear everything at the same time you do." So the rest of the way through the dark forest, Brittney walked the path along side Kevin not ever saying a word just looking over and seeing if BJ was concious yet or not. And usually catching a look from Hakim, who all in all wasn't too mad about carrying the man who had slayed 60 of his brothers & sisters. The night air was growing increasingly chilly and Brittney's dressed had been torn so much that she was starting to get cold in places she wasn't supposed to get cold in with clothes on. Plus after the day she had had she just wanted to go home and sleep for two days... no she didn't, she wanted this all to be a nightmare that she could wake up from. After another thirty minutes of walking she began to noticed that she was walking a familiar path, and that soon she would be home to her family and her friends and her homework. God even homework sounded good to her right now. As she looked over the hill leading to her village, she heard a thud and looked over to see that Hakim had dropped BJ on the ground, and had transformed back to normal. "Give me that cloak there Zephyrn, i will carry him the rest of the way into town." As Zephryn tossed the cloak to Kevin, Brittney noticed the nervousness on the face of Kevin; apparently he hadn't been around normal people for quite sometime and it scared him to do so. "I will return tomorrow stay out of trouble, until then catch what you need to eat but no more." With those instructions the other werewolves transformed and retreated into the darkness. "Well time for the happy reunion, God i hate this part." Kevin said nervously

It was a happy reunion of sorts, except Brittney's mom and dad were still out looking for her and wouldn't be back till tomorrow, but all in all seeing the looks on BJ's faces, ones of relief and gratitude to God, but when they saw Brittney they almost broke down from her pathetic sight, her clothes nearly torn off of her scrapes and brusies everwhere. "Oh you poor dear, why don't you rest here tonight since mom and dad are not here i would suspect you need a place to stay." BJ's mom said through her tears. Brittney did need a place to stay but she wondered about Kevin, sure he had served the man that tried to make her into a vampire, sure he had served the man who tried to kill her and BJ, but some how, some way she knew that he knew everything and she wanted to know too, so she asked, "Only if you let him stay as well." Kevin shot a glance that would have froze hell but it was too late to say anything. "Alright you can stay to Mr..."
"Kevin the name is Kevin." "Very well then we will make a cot for you to sleep on tonight. "Thank you ma am." As BJ's parents walked in his father carrying BJ, Brittney could hear the faint moan in Mr. Abernathy's voice as he put BJ down in his bed. As he came out he gestured for her and Kevin to come over, and she did she noticed the anger his face as he looked at Kevin. "It has been a while hasn't Kevin?", you could have picked Brittney's jaw up off the floor with that statement. "Indeed it has Carl.", and the response shocked her even more to the point she blurted out a question without thinking. "Wait you know him!? What the hell!". As Mr. Abernathy looked at Brittney his stern expression on his old wrinkly face changed to a look of compassion and love, one that had always warmed her heart when she would come over to visit BJ, that made her know that it was all right. But that did not last long as he looked back up at the tall and muscular Kevin he asked another question. "Did he transform?" "Yes, he slaughtered several of my men and the Count." Kevin responded in a serious tone of voice.
"Well i am sorry for that, however you knew who he was and what he could become." Carl responded in almost "i told you so manner." "Maybe so but if i hadn't then what would have prevented the Scion from getting the girl, at least by my actions and using the count i have given us a fighting chance." "But at the expense of my son!?" Carl responded angerly, tears were now flowing down Carl's worn and weary face. As the night pogressed the mood did not lessen nor did it the next morning as Brittney awoke from her long sleep of suprising peace, the sun shining through the old windows and the robins chirping almost as if they were singing a song for the sun to wake up to, it was a beautiful day out and Brittney enjoyed the sunshine outside while drinking the coffee Mr. Abernathy had given her when she first awoke. As she sat there on the bench outside Kevin walked out, "How did you sleep?" She asked not quite sure why she did. "Fine, it's more comfort than i m use to but it was fine." "I hope you are not expecting me to pity you sir, because i don't you have gotten everything you deserve." as she stood up she continued, " However i do want to thank you for all of your assistance last night." and as she walked away she could hear him speak to her. "If you only knew the whole story you would not be so cold to me." as she whirled around to face him she was infuriated how dare he say such a thing he deserved no kind of respect in her opinion and surely did not deserve sympathy from her or from the Abernathys. "DON'T YOU DARE STAND THERE AND ASSUME THAT IF I KNEW THE WHOLE STORY I COULD CARE ONE DAMN OUNCE MORE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SITUATION!" Brittney said at the top of her voice. "Brittney that is enough dear, he does have good explanation. Now both of you come inside BJ is awake and i think it is time me and Kevin told you two everything."

As Brittney came into BJ's room she suddenly felt every emotion from the past couple of days come to the surface and she could not control the tears anymore. She ran to BJ's bed and grabbed him and hugged him and wept."Hey, hey what is with the waterfall I m okay. More importantly are you okay?" Was she okay of course she wasn't it she had been abducted, been with in seconds from becoming a vampire, attack by a giant bat creature, and now told she could destroy the world; was she okay that was a stupid question. "No!" Brittney managed through her tears. After she cried for about 20 minutes they pulled BJ out of bed and took him to the kitchen. As they all sat at the table Carl went to his bedroom and brought back a very old book. "Now then this here is the one thing that can answer all of our questions. It was discovered by my great grandfather on the continent of Eglas in an ancient castle." "But what is it Dad?" BJ asked. "This son is the Book of the Beasts. It is a book that tells the origins of all hybrid creatures on this planet, and is the only records ever found of what happen to our world one thousand years ago. Allow me to read the story to you now: In a time long since past the world was a marvel and people were proud of their accomplishments. They marveled at their buildings saying look we can touch heaven here. They boasted of their power, and in a final act of pride man created the Beastmen, the combination of human and animal. Many were created most were used to replace nuclear weapons of the day and the most powerful one of all was created in the city of Jerusalem. His name Lutheran a combination of a volitale man and a dragon, he was the most powerful of all beastmen. However his masters could not control him and he broke free of their rule and established his own kingdom. He took along three followers who became known as The Three Heads, and began a war of atrision against man. However man had had time to prepare for him and met his army head on led by a young man who was gifted with the power to Adapt. He could gain certain abilities from his situation and he led the charge against Lutheran and met him on the battle field. However Lutheran was too strong even for his might. So with the last of his energy he created a portal and sent Lutheran into it and sealed it with his body. When this was done he passed his power on to his Lieutenant and died his lieutenant then passed it along to his children. It is said that only this person who has become known as the Key can open the door to let Lutheran out of his prison. To find the Key the Three Heads created a creature to act as their blood hound/delivery boy he is called the Scion of Chaos and he is himself a powerful beastman with untold power. When the original creators of the Lutheran heard of this they went to work to create someone who could defend the Key from the Scion and he is know as the Guardian or the Lion of Judah because he is a lion hybrid and was created in Judah. It is said that these creators did this after humbling themselves before God Almighty, when they had done so God blessed there work with unfathomable power the depths of which is unknown to the human mind. And after several years of searching found the family which carried the power of the Key and sent their Guardian to that person." And as Carl finished Kevin spoke up, "Brittney that man was your great great great grandmother, you see after it left the lieutenant it stayed in the daughters of the subsequent generations. You are the most powerful person on planet earth, given the gift to gain new and never before seen powers from your situation. However your main purpose is to open the gate to unleash hell itself." "Brittney please understand that what we tell you is not to scare you but to make you understand that now that his and your powers have been awakened the Three Heads are going to be gunning for you." Carl explained with all the love he could muster. "But wait a minute you said this happened a thousand years ago. How can they still be alive after all these years dad." As Carl looked at his son with the eyes of a loving father he answered his question, "Because son they have done a very ancient and forbidden type of science known as cloning. What is that you wonder, it is where a person is coppied down right to their very core. They still have the same objective as the previous ones; to find the Key resurrect their master and take over the planet."

What a rush of information that ran through both of their heads. Brittney couldn't take it anymore she had to get some air she was starting to have a panic attack and she was starting to hyper ventalate so she ran outside tears flowing again. She didn't want this fate she didn't want to be some sign of the armageddon. As she fell to her knees and sceamed and cried on the grassy meadow out side of BJ's house she could feel a hand touch her shoulder and then wrap its arms around her and weep with her. She could tell by the bandages it was BJ and he was feeling the same as her. "This i swear, that i will always protect you little sis. I won't let them use you or harm you, this is my promise to you and to God. But weather he would or not would be the real test of his faith and of her strengh to survive.
