27 End 2 (2/2)

Just then every stadium lamp lit up simultaneously. it was as if the sun rises the middle of the night. the sudden change of light caused Lydia to rais the guard against it. when she felt her eyes use to the light Lydia opened them and looked around. however, it was the same, no one was present.

”You look nice today”

Suddenly a voice came from the previously empty field. Lydia was sure she looked 360 degrees around and no one was there. but now stood a clean shaved middle-aged man.

Although, the distance between them a bit far, with the help of lights Lydia had a clear view.

”Who are you? where is Jackson?”

Lydia felt scared looking at the unknown man. he was looking at her calmly without any expression. now, she wants nothing more than to run toward Max, where she feels safe.

The man started to walk toward Lydia. she felt huge pressure crushing down on her. her instinct scream, telling her to run away. but for some reason, Lydia didn't have any confidence running away from this man.

”Jackson isn't coming,” Man started to speak, slowly narrowing the gap between Lydia and him ”Actually, he sold you off for the power, I advise you to don't trust him in the future”

Lydia didn't understand sold her for power part. but she knew Jackson is one behind this whole incident. since the man knew Jackson it wasn't hard to guess.

”What do you want? I don't have anything” Lydia backed away keeping her eyes on the man.

”Oh! but I think you do have something I need. it's just you don't know it yet”

The Man weighted his neck slightly to an angle looking at her.

”Tell me something Lydia, do you familiar with the term called Shapeshifter?”

”I-I don't know,” Lydia said with fear in he eyes. she noticed no matter hard she tried she couldn't move away from this man.

All the sudden Lydia turn away from the man intending to run away. she threw away all the feeling she had before, her guts overtaken by the fear. but surprisingly that man was already in front of her, blocking the way. her fear deepened once more. she couldn't think how he appeared before her just in seconds.

”Lydia, be a good girl, tell me what Shapeshifter means,” Man tried to sound kind, however, this made Lydia further creep out.

Without no way out she steeled her heart to answer. since she was late, maybe Max will come to find her. calling him on phone wasn't an option anymore.

”The most common form of shapeshifting myths is that of therianthropy, which is the transformation of a human being into an animal. werewolves or vampires or conversely, of an animal into human form.” (AN: I took this from Google-San ok!)

Lydia answered with a textbook explanation. even with the dire situation she was in her genius mind never failed her.

”Exactly, no wonder they call you a genius” this time he started to push Lydia back to the middle of Stadium. Lydia understood he wasn't going to let her go.

”What do you want from me?”

”Nothing, I just want you to help me with something if the things come to a bad end”

For instance, Lydia saw a slight change of expression. but man was pro when it comes to poker face. next moment, Lydia saw something unbelievable, Man's eyes turn bright Red. his face changed, eyebrows sank, four sharp fangs, two in upper and two in the lower jaw, brought a vicious look into him.

”No need to scream Lydia, there is no one to save you”

Seeing Lydia trying to scream for help, the man finally smiled. but his voice was animalistic, the face was scary and there was something about it made, Lydia hard to look away.

As a genius as she was, with all the questions man asked, and everything happening here, it wasn't hard to connect dots.

”And why would say that?”

Suddenly from behind Lydia, she heard a familiar voice. it was carefree and lively. with tears on her eyes, Lydia looked back and run toward Max's embrace without care.

”Why did you come here alone? such a naughty girlfriend”

Max teased, shaken, Lydia with an amused tone. he removed his blazer and put it on Lydia's shaking body. then he kissed her forehead to dissolve her fear.

In fact, Max succeeded in his attempt. his action caused girl's fear melt away leaving nothing but relief and love.

”Since you know about supernatural, Let me show you, what I was hiding”

He broke away Lydia from the hug and looked at her in the eyes. she was obviously confused but Max saw some understanding flash across her beautiful eyes.

Max nodded her and looked at angry and confused Peter.

”This time I'm going to beat the crap out of you. you dare to use my wife as a fail safe? well then try not to die”

Max brought out his fangs and claws with bright Ruby eyes. He looked at Lydia, she had wide eyes with mouth ajar, however, fear wasn't apparent.

Satisfied Max looked at Peter, the guy was burning with fury. he was going for full-on transformation. however, Max didn't want that to happen.

Before Peter could transform, Max lunch himself toward Peter without pause. Max didn't like to Transform into White Wolf. that could ruin the perfect cloths he just brought.
