chapter 4 wake up call

an alarm clock went off. the beeping was annoying and loud. alex slammed on it to hit the snooze button. the loud beeping was off. he stood up from his bed, put on his sunglasses and yawned looking at the celling fan in his motel room. as he was stretching his arms to wake up, he felt his skin burn and stopped to loom at his marks. they looked black and the same as always. he had ben getting that burn feeling a bit more sense he came to this small town of Wood Pine County. he sighed and rubbed his black markings on his body still not knowing why he was left like this from his enemy from that horrible night when he was 3. he had the thoughts going threw his head like crazy like what the psychic woman said. about how the stranger that killed his family was for sure not human and marked him for a bad thing that the stranger had in store for him. but what in store was what alex was thinking of the most. he had to stop that and the stranger. he human or not, he wanted to kill that killing son of a bitch. he felt his hands turn into fists thinking about all this. it mad him mad. he then felt his stomach growl and relaxed his hands" i better eat i guess…" he said as he got out of his bed and put his jacket on. he was already in his cloths he wear yesterday for he was sleeping with them on being lazy. he grabbed his gun and put it in his coat pocket. the gun felt strong in his hands. cold from the iron, rough from the wooden handle of the gun. he was always prepared when it came to why he had a lot of weapons in places like his motorcycle or coat. he stepped out side his motel room and locked it up. it was a bit cold this morning. alex could feel the cold on his fingers. he put then in his pocket as he walked to his motorcycle. as he was walking to it, he saw a poor man wearing rugged, dirty clothing and a lot of facial hair on his face. he turned seeing alex and walked up to him his hands open at him" change?…" he asked weakly. alex just looked at him feeling a bit sorry but not enough" sorry pal…..i don't have enough to give u so u can go get booze" he said not caring for him. the poor man just looked at him a bit surprised. alex turned away from him heading to his motorcycle" i got problems of my own. i don't have time to deal with yours….." alex said to the man walking away. the poor man glared at alex as he walked away then his eyes suddenly changed to red. for he was not a real poor man or human. the poor man started to charge at alex like a chetah chasing its pray. alex's eyes turned seeing the creator come right at him" oh shit" he said then before he could pull out his gun, the man jumped on him and started to strangle him. alex held the creators hands from strangling him any tighter. the creator grind at him. its red eyes like blood started at him" so…..its u….the one the master has plans for' it said with the voice like a black shadow of evil. alex glared at it wanting to get it off him and kill it but had to hold its hands still from strangling him to death. the creator chuckled" i should just kill u now….u are not on our side it seems like…besides….u don't have what it takes to even kill.." it said messing with alex. alex growled" oh yeah bitch?!" he yelled and let one of his hands go top go into his coat pocket and get his gun out then shot the creator as the thing flew off him to the parking lot ground. black blood spilled from its chest. it only laughed" thats all u got?..how weak" he grind" i'm surprised how the master chose u….u are so pathetic and dumb" he said. alex hearing this while getting something from his bag from his motorcycle and came back to the thing on the ground. he held a knife with a holy cross marked on it. in the other hand was a bottle of holy water. he dipped the holy knife in holy water then held it madly at the creators neck glaring at it mad" who is your master? what does he want with me?!" alex yelled mad. the creator laughed its poor man look outfit. its yellow poor man teeth showed as it laughed. alex  punched it mad" answer me you bastard!" he yelled mad. the creator smiled his bad breath stung alex's nose but he did not pay attention to it and glared at the poor man creator. the creator looked at him" u don't know i see?…well…u will soon….very soon.." he grind . alex looked at him" what the hell are you talking about?" he said a bit scared but more mad. the creator grind more at him" he will come for you…when it is time…..you will see soon…he is on his way.." it said. he slammed the creators head on the ground. its head started to bleed" who?!" alex yelled more anger in his voice as he said it. " the master but of corse…and when he comes….he wants you to be ready…." he said. alex a  bit more scared bit still mad held the holy knife closer to the creators neck. as the blade barley touched its dirty skin, it burned it and made the creator hiss a bit in pain" tell me now!" alex yelled mad. the creator laughed" you will know….when he comes for you……all you need to know for now….is that….it will be the bloodiest blood bath you will never forget" he said. alex hearing enough finally cut the creators head clean off with the holly knife. its neck and head burned away gone along with its body turning into ashes. alex watched with his black and gray eyes as his eyes showed anger and rage from behind the sunglasses he was wearing. he walked back to his motorcycle, put his holy water and knife back in his bag and got on his motorcycle and road off into town away from the parking lot of the motel. as he was riding he felt his marks burn like crazy hurting him. he stopped on the side of the road on the dirt side and went to his bag and pulled out the holy knife. he pulled up his coat sleeve and held out his arm. he took the knife on his mark and cut the mark as reddish black blood oozed out. alex hissed in pain his teeth tight in his mouth as he felt so much pain as he cut his arm.the black and red blood dripped onto the ground sinking into the dirt tell it was gone. he stopped and whipped the blood off the  blade of the holy knife and put it back in his bag. he looked at where he cut his arm and saw the cut ooze black blood and watched it heal his cut and turn back to normal. no cut. no more burning of his markings. he sighed" i hate it when that happens….." he said talking to himself. he pulled his coat sleeve back down and got back on his motorcycle and kept on going. heading to town.
