One Bite by Deaundre Brown (short novels to read .TXT) 📖

pointed to him he nodded. This is what us wide receivers do to be sure we are lined up correctly and not offsides. "Ready, blue 98, red 82." I heard fred shoutintg from line. I saw his eyes slowly scan the feild, then he looked at me. I looked into the conerbacks eyes, he was scared yet determined. I crossed my arms in an x formation noting that i would most likely be open. I looked at my twin, he patted his thigh pad, saying he would be locked down on the slant route. " Set, Blue. Hit Hit." I sprinted up the feild, keeping my eyes toward the endzone. I slowed my pace so the cornerback could catch up. Once he caught up, seconds later, I turned and sprinted across the middle of the feild. I glnaced over my shoulder to see that the cornerback had fell trying to cut across the feild to cover me. I looked at fred, but he was on the ground, yet he still seemed to throw the ball into the air. I adjusted to the balls trajectory, but the ball carried i the wind. suddenly everything seemed to slow down, the ball was falling to the ground. I will not drop this, i will catch this. My mind seemed to go blank after those thoughts. I blinked and then jumped. Now both me and the ball were in the air. but in a blink of a eye i had the ball, and i was on the ground. I quickly got to my feet and began to run for the endzone. In the corner of my eye i saw david, the Strong Saftey for their team. I used my arm that didn't have the ball to push him away, but he was stronger and i fell. I was so close to the endzone, so i stuck the ball out to attempt the touch down. I hit the ground hard, but i shruged it off and looked at the ref. He stood there for a second, then threw his hands up into the air, signaling a touchdown. I glanced up at the score board. I had ran all the time off the clock. The game was officially over.

We all jumped and shouted all around the feild. We all froze at the sight of the championship trophy. It seemed to shine in the lights of the stadium. the loud mic came on, "Please welcome, the quarterback of the winning superbowl team, the denver broncos, Payton Manning. We all got loud and clapped. 

Fred's POV

Payton Manning walked out to the sideline. "And the Denver Broncos" At that the rest of the superbowl champs rushed out of the tunnel. I glanced over to Payton Manning. Now he was on the fifty yard line standing their with a microphone. On the table beside him there was two trophys. I couldn't tell what the other was. Someone tapped my shoulder. I looked up at the tall man standing before me. The guy was Jordan Norwood, wide receiver. He held up the jersey in his hands. It was the jersey he wore in the superbowl. He handed it to me. He wore my football number, 11, i flipped it over and saw that it was signed by him. "Fred Larson, if you would come out here to the stand." Payton's voice rang out over the speaker. I turned around to see that the Broncos players had formed a line leading to the stand. I jogged through, alowing everyone to take a slap at my helmet. This is awesome  Was the only thing going through my mind.

Once i got to the stand payton shook my hand. "Fred, Congragulations. You lead this team with dominance. Your coach has told me that your the a great leader, your the fist one in the locker rooms, and the last one out, you help out with positions that need to be filled, as we saw in the first quarter with that amazing kick return for a touchdown. These qualities that you have, are qualities of an NFL quarterback. Most quarterbacks don't learn to do the things you do until college. Just what you have done for this team is enough for this state to give you the claim Best Quarter back in the state at the high school level."

He turned to the table and picked up the trophy that i couldn't reconize. He handed it to me. Tears that i had been holding back spilled down my cheeck. I shook payton's cold hand once more, then walked back to the sideline. Then they called brent up to the podium, he got the trophy saying that we won the best team in the state.  "Your responsible for the win fred."  A voice came from behind me, i spun on heel quick, but noone was there. Everyone had rushed onto the feild.  

 

Chapter 4 Alliance

 Fred's POV

All the dying seemed to die down as Coach Baker walked through the door. "Gentlmen, How does it feel to be a champion?" His voice boomed off the walls of the locker room. Everyone remanied quiet, everyone one was waiting to hear his choice. Coach Baker had recived an offer to coach down in miami, at the college level. They wanted him to be their quaterback coach. He told us that he would tell his desision at our last game, and here we are. "I guess you all are waiting for the news. well, since my first day I coached this team and i knew that we would be going somewere. I knew that i would get a ring with this team, so i made a commitment, I'm staying here, Im staying at Golden state!" At that we all started again. We all hugged coach and cheered out to the bus. I saw the guy from the other vampire, from the other team, standing there. Watching me. I walked over to him, and he smiled. Exposing his growing fangs. "Wanna ride. Well you kindof dont have a choice, your little girlfriend said yes for you." At that i looked inside the car, to see the beautifukl smile of Angel. 

My eyes flew open. I could hear someone screaming, almost as if they were behind me. A door flew open and light rushed into the dark cold room. "Are you awa.." a tall figure stood in the doorway. Before he could finish his sentence I takled him at full forcce. "Sir, calm down. Everythings ok." He spoke tring to hide his fear, but regardless the situation, i let him up. "Follow me" he finally saidd after a short silence. we walked through the hall quietly. The walls were made of stone and there was no lights, only dimmly lit torches postioned aganst the walls. We came to a door, tall wooden and lined with silver.  The tall kid in front of me reached forward to knock on the door. The door boomed as he pounded on it. I walked backwards a few steps, then charged at the door. The door fell to the ground with ease and i stood in the doorway to look around. Then my ears rang again as the scream sounded through the halls. Angel I dashed through the halls to find the source. I stopped and listend for the scream again. Nothing seemed to move. I strained to hear the source, but it was covered by the sound of muffled crying. I turned to see a flight of stairs, spiraling up. I ran up them, skiping 2 at a time to move faster. I blinked and next thing i knew i was on the ground, i felt pressure on the back of my neck. "I wouldn't move fred. One move in the wrong direction and your dead. Now allow me to explain everything to you." 

The deep voice rumble on and on about where i was and why i was here. "So you see, that scream was your girlfriend, it was all a test to see if you could be a true leader of this Alliance." once he finally opened the door and removed the killing machine from around my neck, i realized just whet he ment by "One move in the wrong direction and your dead. The machine was a maze full of meatle spikes long enough to peirce allt he way through your neck . If a single spike gets any blood on it, all the spikes extend out untill their tips are touching, thus killing any supernatural creature. 

We walked out of the room and down a really long hallway, once again in awkward silence. When we reached the door on the end of the hallway, the tall guy, named Jeff, stopped. "This is your room, the leader's room. Jack, Daniel, and Eli will come to get when its officially time to give you your mark of leaadership.

Chapter 5 One of Us

 Angels POV

I rolled onto my back and pulled up the covers. Then the door opened slowly, creaking with each inch. As much as i wanted to se who it was, i forced myself not to. I froze as dead silence hung in the air. I felt the cover lift off me, but i continued to play sleep. " I know your not sleep baby, I know it." Freds voice rung through the air. I fought back a smile that was slowly spreading across my face. Then I felt his hand move slowly up my leg. I tried not to move an inch, but it was to late, i had already flinched and
