9 The Big Bad Wolf Edited

An hour passed since Taka's family had returned home. While he slept they cooked dinner, pots and pans clanked and banged only to cease with the completion of the food. With Dinner now ready, Becky shadowed by her mother went ahead to wake Taka.

Opening the door, they went in, walking over to his bed, they gently called out to him as to not startle him awake.

"Taka, Taka! Dinner is ready."

Looking at each other, they quickly came to the agreement that only doing this wouldn't wake him up. Becky smirked in preparation.

Preparing to jump on the bed. She initiated a countdown only to freeze mid-way through as an ominous noise filled the room.

A growl, which was heard by both of them.

A growl so deep, it resonated around the room and seemed to make the room shudder.

A growl of a beast.

Both mother and daughter paled.

Slowly pulling back the duvet, that covered Taka they found out where the growl had come from.

Seeing the wolf cub lying curled up next to Taka, they screamed, which jolted Fenrir awake.

Having been shocked awake, from such a lovely sleep, Fenrir was annoyed to say the least. Still, in confusion of being startled awake, Fen was ready to attack.

Hearing the screams, Taka's father dashed up the stairs to Taka's room, only to see his wife and daughter shivering with fear.

Peering in to look at what the problem was.

He spotted Fenrir and one word escaped his lips.

"Wolf!!"

Hearing what her father had said, Becky paled further. Tears now escaping from her eyes while anguish filled her face. There was nothing she could do to save her little brother.

Sensing the disturbance in his room, Taka lazily opened his eyes only to see Fen growling fiercely at someone. Not knowing who, he closed his eyes and sat up. Still half asleep and trying to rub the sleep from his eyes, he spoke.

"Fen, what are you growling at?"

Hearing him speak, Fen turned before jumping back into his embrace.

Seeing the wolf jump, Taka's family were petrified, thinking the wolf was attacking, they all shouted out.

"STOP!!!" "NOO!!" "TAKAAA!!!"

The sudden shouts shocked Taka wide awake.

Now wide awake he began to blink, only to see his parents and his sister scared out of their wits.

Completely and utterly not understanding what was going on, he couldn't help but ask while scratching his head.

"What's wrong with all of you?"

Becky shuttered but eventually got her words out, while sniffing through her tears and snot.

"W-W-W-W-W-Wolf, Taka d-d-d-d-don't move there's a wolf!"

"You mean Fen?"

Taka asked in a questioning tone. His head tilting in confusion.

"Fen?" Asked his mother.

"Yeah, Fen my friend."

His father spoke up in as stern a voice as he could muster.

"Taka, wolves are dangerous. They are not animals to have as pets."

"No shit Sherlock, But what's your point?" Taka's common sense not grasping the point his father was trying to make.

"Fen, your friend, is a wolf."

"Obviously. Dad, why do you just keep stating the obvious?"

Taka's father was clearly becoming impatience with Taka's smart aleck attitude.

"Aahah, why? WHY? Son, there is a wolf on your. . . . . "

Before he could finish Taka was picking Fen up and placing her on his head.

". . . . Head"

The words finally fell from his mouth as the room fell into silence.

Feeling a weird sense of joy, from arguing with his father after such a long time, a genuine smile materialized on his face.

Surprised by Taka's sudden smile, a smile which was rarely seen. Taka's family was dazed, only to see it disappear in the next instance. Looking out of his window a frown began to emerge on his face. Not long after Taka asked his father a question in a tone no one in the room had heard him use before.

"Dad, were we expecting visitors?"

Stumped by the question, his father answered casually.

"No, not as far as I know. Why? And don't think you can divert the conversation that easily sonny."

"The Discussion about Fen can wait till later. There are three SUV's about to pull up outside the house."

Thinking he was trying to throw the conversation in another direction, Taka's father simply ignored him.

The fact that he was being ignored was obvious, after all his outward appearance was that of a 10 year old but the situation was serious, he couldn't dance around this.

"DAD! I'M BEING SERIOUS!! LOOK OUT THE WINDOW!!!"

Unconsciously following Taka's line of sight, His father realised that Taka was telling the truth. Turning toward him, Taka's father was silent but a knowing gaze could be seen in his eyes, though quickly his father's eyes grew serious.

"We need to get out of here now!!" His Father commanded.

"There's not enough time, besides they're too close for us to escape anywhere...."

Taka paused, letting out a breath ".....Dad. Who are they?"

He asked but no answer came.

"I see it's like that, huh?"

Taka could see the sorrow in his father's eyes mixed with confusion. He knew something was up. It was clear his father had an idea who'd sent these people but it was also clear, he wasn't a hundred percent sure either.

Not remembering this event from his past life, he figured that the reason he'd seen it this time around was because he hadn't been to school.

Making a mental note to thank the doctor at a later time he stood up.

Stretching as he stood. He scratched Fen's head and spoke to her.

"I guess it's time to get to work, Ay Fen?"

Answering with a bark, she seemed ready for battle.

He walked toward the stairs with Fenrir in toe. Nearing the stairs his father grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going?!"

Taka's father was confused to say the least, his son had been acting strange all day, it was like he'd changed, like he was almost a completely different person. Almost.

"To deal with some bugs."

Taka replied in a voice so cold even penguins would shiver hearing it. The voice brought chills to both his parents and his sister and with that, he appeared behind his family, hitting the backs of their necks causing them to pass out.

After placing his family in a room he knew they would be safe in, he walked towards the front door an eerie silence pervaded the Everlast household.

Stopping just before the door his voice turned soft. He spoke to no one in particular but he couldn't help but replay the images, of his father lying there stone-cold, in his past life.

"Hey Dad...." He said.

"....This time I'm going to protect all of you."

Fen, who was standing behind Taka, couldn't help but feel a surge of energy surrounding Taka, as he seemed to grow before her eyes.

The silhouette of an older Taka superimposed itself over his young body, which Fen could vaguely see.

The SUV's were still a short distance away.

He quickly turned to the system for help.

Taka: "Hey system, How do I use the shop function and how exactly do I pay for the things I buy?"

System: "To use the shop function you simply open it. Due to hosts previous life being, well, how it was, and with the combination of the host's skill, [God Level Hacker] which was activated unconsciously. The host has been granted free purchases on all things, with the exception of some of the higher rank items, which can still be gained by doing missions in the future."

Hearing that he quickly Jumped straight into the system shop.

Looking through the sub-heading in the store he quickly found the tab for supportive skills. Immediately purchasing his inventory skill which thankfully was free.

His second point of call was weapons, buying 2 katanas that fit snuggly on his back in an X shape. His katana were quickly followed by two handguns and a sniper rifle, just in case.

Finally, he purchased an under armour that would protect him from any bullet or stab wounds.

Fen had yelped at the sudden appearance of the swords but didn't bother with it soon after. He was ready.

Standing there silently, with Fen accompanying him by his side, memories flashed through his mind.

The persona he'd used to take revenge was once again returning. This time not for revenge but to protect those he loved.

The three SUV's turned up holding five savage looking men inside each.

Laughing together they spotted Taka.

"Look what we have here, a kid trying to be tough...pfft he won't be so tough when we're playing with his sister in front of him later hahahah."

With that one sentence, Taka was pushed over the edge.

His eyes shot open appearing dim and lifeless like a corpses.

Still laughing the men hadn't realised they'd awoken their own demise. . . .

The Reaper had awakened.

A haze invaded the air around him.

This haze was the result of killing intent and murderous intent mixing together.

The men who were facing him couldn't feel it but Fen who was standing next to him could. Her hair stood up as if she'd been electrocuted.

Drawing his katanas, his persona underwent a transformation instead of appearing as an innocent child, he now appeared like the Reaper of souls himself. With a flash he disappeared, so did Fenrir.

Realising they'd kicked the hornet's nest, they attempted to retreat, but, before they had the chance, three of them were cut down followed by another two having their throats ripped out by Fenrir.

Ten of them remained. No longer having the courage to speak, as they looked toward the source of their terror they regretted it immediately.

Looking into those cold lifeless eyes they felt their very souls begin to crack.

Blood spurting from their mouths, they knew that they couldn't escape from this ordeal alive.

One last ditch effort was attempted, all ten men ganging up on him together, as they closed in, it appeared a success until they realised the grounded was getting closer.

Taka was covered in blood from head to toe due to him being in the middle of the enemies when they'd attacked and he'd countered.

A notification arrived from the system.

Taka immediately pressed yes. The instance he did, the bodies, as well as their belongings, vanished.

Still covered in blood he returned to the house with Fen to find his family, thankfully still knocked out because if they saw him covered in so much blood they would surely freak out.

After cleaning himself up and waking his family up, he once again, for the third time since he'd returned, passed out.

Surprised by the sudden turn of events, his family immediately called the Doctor who raced over to the Everlast household.

-

On the way to the Everlast house, Doctor Emily Harper was impatiently speeding toward the Everlast home. From her earlier examination, she'd noticed something strange about the child, Taka Everlast, but couldn't place her finger on it.

Now, she had a second chance to examine the child, she hoped she would find out the answer to the question that had been plaguing her mind throughout the day.

Arriving at the Everlast house, she stepped out of her car and ambled toward the front door, before she knocked on the door, it swung open.

A dashingly beautiful woman in her early thirties with pure black hair and bright silver eyes was staring down at her from the doorstep. Putting two and two together, she figured out who this woman was.

"Mrs Everlast, you called?"

"Doctor Emily Harper, I assume?"

Responding with a smile and a nod.

"Please come in."

Leading Doctor Harper into the living room.

Reaching the living room she inquired about the matter at hand.

"Over the phone, your husband told me that Taka had collapsed again?"

With a slight nod, Mrs Everlast spoke.

"Hmm, Taka did collapse again but we're not sure why...."

Mrs Everlast paused before continuing, worry evident in her voice.

".....I don't know about this morning but he still doesn't seem right."

Doctor Harper nodded in understanding.

"Would it be alright if I see Taka now?"

"Sure, he's in his room resting, but, please knock before you go in"

"May I ask why?" Emily asked confused.

"His wolf is still inside with him." Taka's mother said in an almost nonchalant manner.

"Wolf?" Emily asked in surprise.

"It's his "friend", but please be careful as she isn't a pet, but an actual wild animal."

"It is?!?"

"Yes, but don't worry she listens to him, so, as long as you knock when you go in it'll be fine."

Doctor Harper nodded. Hesitatingly she asked one final question.

"Would it be possible to examine Taka on his own? If anything is wrong, he's more likely to tell me when we're the only ones in the room."

"Sure."

Mrs Everlast walked to the kitchen as Doctor Harper went up the stairs and knocked on Taka's door.
