《Awakening of a Monster》Chapter 1 - Awakening
Advertisement
A tall boy was punching a heavy bag with every he had, causing the bag to rock back and forward quite intensely. Every now and then the boy would mix in a few kicks, elbows and knees into his routine, each of them flowing smoothly into a deadly dance of violence.
Sweat was flung off of the boy as he whipped his leg with furious momentum into the bag sending it back into the air with enough force to carry it until it banged against the ceiling.
The tall boy's name was Amon. Despite his name, he was a normal teenager who practiced Martial Arts, although he did practice them a bit too fanatically. Amon picked up a towel and took off his sweaty shirt showing his incredibly well-muscled chest, shoulders, and abs. He looked like some kind of muscle made fortress as he stood there, calming his heart from the earlier training.
After wiping all the sweat off his body, he moved his hand through his blood red hair to get it out of the way of his eyes as he ran upstairs; he needed to get a move on.
He quickly showered, brushed his teeth and then started to get dressed in some casual clothes, all before the doorbell of his house went off. "I'll get it!" a mature and smooth voice shouted up to the rapidly dressing Amon upstairs.
Amon heard his Mom welcome the guests into the house as he finally put on his clothes and rushed downstairs.
He was greeted with a pillow straight to the face as he entered the living room. "Oh? How come Mr. Martial Arts didn't stop that?" He heard a sarcastic and humor-filled voice talk to him. Amon couldn't stop the grin from spreading on his face as he looked at his best friend, Jax.
Jax was your typical pretty boy, blonde hair, blue eyes and around 5"11 with pale skin. Despite the differences you might see between a pretty boy and a martial arts fanatic, they got on like a house on fire and were known as the Dos Diablos at their high school due to them being famous for being untouchable.
Jax was the brains behind it all. Speaking to people, making plans to get back at people and also talking their way out of trouble were his jobs. While the 6"4 and muscular Amon was, well, the muscle. Anyone who tried anything on their little gang in school was completely clobbered by Amon. Together they were unstoppable.
And this wasn't only a business kind of relationship, Amon and Jax had grown up together being part of 4 people who were childhood friends, so them being partners in their antics at school was only normal.
Speaking of the group of 4 childhood friends, the other two were sitting next to Jax. One of them was even the next one to speak up after Jax.
"See, I told you that you shouldn't have put all that time into practicing useless stuff like that. No wonder you're so dense." An energetic voice spoke matter-of-factly. This was Molly, Amon and Jax's 3rd childhood friend and also Jax's girlfriend. She had black hair, pale skin like her boyfriend and royal blue eyes.

She was quite the beauty, and to be honest, she had to be to keep Jax's attention for as long as they'd been going out. Before they got together, Amon had seen Jax juggle women like some kind of master and then break up with them in a few days because it was boring. And while this may make him sound like some kind of bastard, well, he was and he never tried to hide it.
This was the person who wanted to rule over the school with his best friend in their first year of high school, he was never going to be a saint.
Back to Molly, she was a very outgoing girl. Back when they were kids, she was the glue that kept them together after Amon (Who was still taller and bigger than them, even back then) took some toys off of Jax or when Jax played pranks on Amon. She'd said on many occasions how this was her second family, the one she'd gotten to choose.
Later on, Amon and Jax learned that she didn't have the nicest life at home, leading to her treasuring her friends much more than a normal person. It was soon sorted out after Jax and Amon went to 'talk' to her dad. Amon may have lost himself a bit on that night, even Jax was a bit frightened of him after it.
Regardless, Molly was overjoyed with her home life improving; Jax got some blackmail-worthy material and made sure her dad kept quiet about the whole 'talk' incident.
After this, Jax and Molly soon got together much to the delight of both Amon and the last person in the group; Lilith.
While Molly was the outgoing, confident beauty, Lilith was the petite, shy kind of beauty. She had blonde hair, light green eyes, and tan skin, she was incredibly beautiful, being considered apart of the 4 Beauties of Holyton Highschool along with Molly. Each of them even had their nicknames Lilith the Shy Beauty and Molly the Valiant Beauty.
Lilith had a put on her blushing face as she spoke up in Amon's defense "I bet neither of you could take Amon on in a fair fight, so there's his advantage in practicing!" her shy voice seemed to hold a massive determination for the subject she was speaking about; Amon.
Amon always protected the shy and timid Lilith from all dangers, like some kind of personal armor for her. Girls jealous of her beauty, bullying her? Amon to the rescue. Boys harassing her with ulterior motives? Here comes Amon. You get the message.
"Haha! Do we live in medieval times, Lilith? Martial Arts are things of the past, now is the time for brain power." Acting like some kind of villain from an anime he'd probably saw, Jax had a smirk of mock disdain on his face. Amon patted Lilith's head to tell her to let it go, Jax always won arguments in the group.
Lilith accepted the pat on the head like a kitten with her eyes closed. Luckily, Amon's pat moved her hair to cover her face, otherwise, the rest of the group would have seen the drunken satisfaction on Lilith's face.

"Okay, okay. Let's do what we planned to do..." Amon dramatically pointed the Tv remote at the Tv and switched it out of standby mode "Let's play some video games!". This was one of the things all 4 of them liked to do together, it really brought them all together. Otherwise, how would a pretty boy, a battle addict, a happy-go-lucky girl, and a shy girl all become best friends?
According to the agreement they've had since first playing games together, they play a game from each of their favorite genre's.
First up is Jax's favorite; FPS games or for those who don't know the abbreviation, First Person Shooter.
Despite not liking them as much as Jax, Amon and the girls all enjoyed playing it and even though they weren't frequent players of the game, their experienced gaming hands helped them get used to the controls quite easily and get to the top of the leaderboard with Jax.
After playing that game until they got bored, they moved onto Amon's favorite games. And what a surprise that they were fighting games.
To no surprise, Amon completely stomped the others in a King of the Hill match and to such a degree that the agreed to move on to the next game, making Amon sulk a little which caused Lilith to pat him on the head with a rare smile of bliss on her face.
Molly's favorite kind of games were surprisingly strategy based war games. This made the entire room quiet as they all concentrated on besting the others, even Amon could do well at this kind of game seeing as it was just glorified fighting, something he excelled in.
In the end, Amon, Jax, and Molly had a massive clash of soldiers for the winning tile. Lilith had been defeated by a rather ruthless move on Molly's part, so she went off to go get something to eat.
In the end, Jax and Amon lost to Molly in a spectacular way.
Molly and Jax started talking after that, which then progressed to flirting and then doing couples stuff similar to pillow talk or sweet nothings. Amon, not wanting to be a part of any of that, lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes for a while, trying to ignore the obvious lover talk right next to him.
After a short amount of time, he smelt something delicious above him causing him to open his eyes. In front of him was a plate being held by Lilith. "I made you something while I was in there." Amon could hear the bashfulness in her voice and could hide his smile as he took the plate off her.
Amon could only lament over his late master's words "Focus on Martial Arts, you brat, and then women will come flooding towards you." If it weren't for his still massive room for improvements, Amon would have asked Lilith, a girl obviously into him, out on a date. Sadly, he was a filial disciple and wouldn't go for women until he'd reached his limit.
(Author note: Don't worry, that attitude won't last for long~ xD)
Holding the plate in front of him, he saw something beautiful; A turkey, tomato and lettuce sandwich which seemed to be seductively calling his name. "Thanks, Lilith, you're the best." Amon's deep, rumbling voice caused Lilith to blush even further.
"Ooo why don't you two get a room?~" Jax's teasing voice sounded out towards Amon and Lilith who was sitting next to him. Amon scoffed as he looked at Jax "You can talk, Loverboy." his retort made everyone in the room laugh. After this, he started eating his sandwich with a grin on his face, the vibe of the room being quite joyous at the minute.
But all good things must come to an end.
Rejoice, your world is being welcomed into the Galactic Empire's Systerm. Prepare yourself, the system will be implemented in your world now.
Every one of you Terrans will either awaken a power/ability or a bloodline/physiology. For those of the latter, prepare yourself, it will hurt.
Countdown starting, 1 Earth Minute and 30 Earth Seconds and counting...
1 minute 29...
"Woah! Are you guys seeing this as well?!" Jax jumped up and away from what Amon suspected would be the writing that must have appeared in front of him. To Jax's question, they all nodded.
Amon being the calmest, with Molly and Lilith both shaking. He and Jax were only calm because of some training they'd undergone with Amon's Master. But even then, Jax looked even paler than usual and had a nervous expression on his face.
Amon's eyes were closed into slits as his instincts all screamed that something very dangerous was happening.
"Kids, are you all alright?!" Amon's mom came charging into the room. Obviously, she could also see the writing and feared she'd gone insane but after seeing the terror on the girls' faces and the nervousness on the boys', she knew she wasn't crazy.
They sat there in silence, not being able to move due to a mixture of nervousness and fear.
As the timer finally hit zero, all 5 of them flinched at the text in front of them. Amon sighed at his text.
Luckily for you, Terran, you've awakened an incredibly rare Bloodline/Physiology, prepare for the awakening process and then you will be told your Bloodline/Physiology!
Something told Amon that this was going to hurt. As he looked at Lilith, he saw her fearful face had descended into a terror-filled face, Amon figured that she also got a Bloodline/Physiology. He pats her on the head and gave her a comforting smile. "It'll be okay, Lilith. We'll both survive--"
Before he could finish, his body locked up, every fiber in his body screaming that he was in danger.
His blood ran cold.
And then the pain started.

The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
