Chapter 187: 187: To the grave with me

Surprisingly, Gary had enjoyed the best night's sleep the teenager had had in a long time. One might think that the knowledge that both of Slough’s major gangs were after him, would make him sleepless…

However, compared to Billy, a large Werewolf that had been going around killing people, the Grey Elephants gang seemed like less of a big deal. In a way, it was almost as if he had traded one problem for another. The only unfortunate thing about this entire situation was that it had involved Amy.

‘I wonder why they let her go, though?’ Gary thought as he stretched his body. His sister was still sleeping peacefully. She must have only recently slept, because Gary had been looking over her constantly, and she was still wide awake before he had shut his eyes.

He knew how she felt, when one's mind was full of worry it was almost impossible to sleep, but eventually the tiredness would overwhelm you. He had told Amy it was best if she took the day off school today, and she had agreed.

She would have still entered, but honestly, the main reason why she had agreed was because she didn’t have the energy to deal with Stacy. However, she couldn’t take too many days off. Her attendance was already dropping and if it did any more, parents would be called in, which might open up another can of worms.

Looking at his Status, Gary was contemplating how he should distribute his accumulated stat points. In the past, he would have increased his Energy, but that didn’t seem to be a problem any more. Despite using a lot of his skills, he still had plenty of them left, not to mention he had found out that he could replenish them ‘naturally’ during a fight as well.

No, the area he was lacking in were his three natural stats. Choosing the Warrior Class had increased all of his stats until they became balanced. Nevertheless, he had been unable to beat Billy with that alone. There was no way to tell if the deceased Omega wolf had had higher base stats, or if he had gained more from eating meat.

‘Should I keep them balanced… or should I specialise in one direction… I guess I can leave the stat points for now. It's easy enough to apply them during a fight anyway, but this ‘Pawn Point’ is another story.

‘According to the system, I can use it to upgrade my body grade, upgrade my skills, and for stats. The first option seems useless, unless I plan to create my own pack. I don’t even know if there really are other Werewolves out there, and after Billy, I don’t actually want to convert anyone.

‘This whole Alpha wolf thing isn’t too different from being a gang leader, so are there any other benefits?’ Gary thought. The teenager was half expecting the system to answer his queries, but it disappointed.

‘Claw Drain seems to be the only skill that’s upgradable right now. However, I can just use Controlled Transformation to get the claws, so its only benefit is its lifesteal effect. It would also be bad if it turns out that I can increase it naturally through usage.’

Gary was seriously worried about wasting his Pawn Point, and unlike stat points, which could gain by leveling up, it wasn’t like he came across a Werewolf every day. As such, he decided to leave it be for now.

Getting ready, it was time for Gary to head to school, and to his surprise he could see Amy standing by the bedroom door, sleepily rubbing her eyes.

“Hey, what are you doing up so early? Didn’t we agree that you would stay home today? You must have gotten, what, like two hours of sleep.” The teenager talked to his sister in a loving tone.

“I know… I just smelt the food, and it woke me up. I think my body is just used to waking up at this time and eating.” Amy explained, getting hungry as her stomach demanded its fill. “I'll just eat some food and go back to sleep.”

“Alright.” Gary held his hand up to his mouth to avoid snickering. “Remember, if anything happens, you see anyone out-”

“I'll call you immediately. Trust me, I have you on speed dial, and I only need one click to send you a prepared message.” Amy cut him off, and shooed her brother out with a big smile… which disappeared the second he was out the door.

She walked into the room, and headed towards the wardrobe, but she didn’t head to hers. Instead, the high school girl headed to Gary's that was placed opposite his bed. She stood there for a few seconds.

‘Surely, it must have just been a dream…’ She tried to convince herself. ‘Please tell me it was a dream.’

Pulling the wardrobe open, Amy could see a lot of Gary's clothes, but stuffed in the corner, underneath a large pile that seemed to not have been washed in ages, was something else. She knew this because she had seen it yesterday.

Once again, she reached under the pile, pulling out a carrier bag, and in the carrier bag itself, there were clothes. Not just any clothes, either.

Pulling out the bag, she came across a red tracksuit set that was covered in blood and ripped in certain places. There was mainly blood in the back, and there was more. Amy gripped onto the clothes tightly. Tears didn’t run down her face, but instead she had another look. She quickly stuffed the clothes in the bag, and placed it back underneath all the clothes.

After fleeing from the coffee shop, Amy had been worried about Gary. She had no idea what Raven might do to him. Rather than thinking about herself, she had opened Gary's wardrobe and started to pack his clothes, so that he might run away and hide.

In the midst of doing all that, she had spotted the carrier bag. She was completely startled, and didn’t even know if some blood had gotten on her clothes. It was dry, but she wasn’t thinking straight and it felt..dirty. As if she had never wanted to see it in the first place, Amy had placed all the clothes back the way they had been and had decided to take a shower, hoping to clear her head.

It hadn’t been long, but it had served as the much-needed escape for the girl to come to terms with what had happened to her, and what was likely going to happen next.

‘It wasn’t a dream…that means Gary…he really must have been the one to make them disappear. … He killed those guys… all of that for me? You did it to protect me, right? … Even now… you must be still hiding the truth from me to protect me.

‘Everything you have done is for me and Mum, and yet I can't do anything for you.’ Amy slumped down, holding her knees as tears ran down her face, cursing herself for being weak and useless.

‘The only thing I can do for you. You want me to not know about this. So I’ll pretend I never saw this. I will never say a word about this to anyone, and I will take this secret to the grave with me, because you are my brother.’ Amy solemnly swore to herself, as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
