The Red Tiger

Strange Changes[2]

  Alfred just went to his seat quietly while ignoring all the stares he was receiving from his classmates. He was inwardly grateful to the teacher for not being In class.

   During the break, he was busy looking for kelvin in the school cafeteria so they would get lunch together when Shane and his goons suddenly approached him and stopped him on way. 

    "I was actually looking for you yesterday for ignoring me the last time, who do you think you are hun?", Shane said in pride. 

    Alfred actually wanted to leave but he didn't know why but he just felt strange anger toward Shane. Shane has always been insulting him since he got into the school and he hasn't even talked back all those while since it never got physical. 

    Only about eight years ago when Shane insulted his mother and he got so angry and attacked him and also surprisingly beat him up. He didn't know where the strength came from because Shane was twice his size. 

   He then got suspended for three weeks while Shane had to spend a month in the hospital. 

    A few weeks after that incident, Shane and his goons ganged up on him and beat him up because he felt embarrassed by what happened then but Alfred just let them because he felt guilty for what he did to Shane back then feeling that he deserved it, and he also didn't tell his father about it.

It also happened a few times after that time. 

    His father really got into a lot of trouble with the Williams family back then and for some reason didn't punish him when he got suspended but he rather told him that he understands what happened, then also gave him a strange necklace that whenever he got so angry he should just touch it and he'll be calm immediately and it has always worked.     

    So he doesn't want his father to have another issue with the Williams family. But Shane still took fun in insulting him. 

    So he touched his chest, in order him to touch the necklace.  "Hun, the necklace, I can't find it", he muttered to himself in shock. 

  [A/N: I forgot about the necklace before it was given to him by his father saying it belonged to his mother and that was the only memory he has of her apart from the pictures at home]

      Then he realized he dropped it at the strange forest when running back to kelvin. 

"How come I forgot something like that, I was so happy about getting my eyesight back that I forgot about it", he muttered to himself again. 

      Meanwhile, Shane was getting very angry as he was getting ignored again " Don't Ignore me your piece of shit!!", he shouted in anger. 

      While Alfred felt that same anger Inside him once again, then he suddenly faced Shane saying, "Don't you dare call me that". His eyes slightly glowing bright red once again. 

    While Shane suddenly felt a great fear that he didn't realise when he started sweating. He wasn't the only one as all those at his back also felt that same fear but Shane's was worse. He remembered the last time he felt that was eight years ago when he had to spend a month in the hospital but this time was a thousand times worse. 

   Then Alfred began to walk toward them slowly while they unconsciously started stepping back feeling as if the grim reaper was right in front of them. Alfred was actually enjoying their reactions as he was able to feel their fear which he strangely enjoyed. 

    Shane then tried to attack him not because he wanted to but out of fear, as he was still trying to convince himself that he wasn't scared of Alfred and decided to attack him to prove that he's still stronger but it all seemed like a movie playing in slow motion to Alfred as he suddenly grabbed Shane's hand and cracking sounds were heard by those around Shane. 

     Alfred suddenly started remembering the times when Shane attacked him and also all the things he said to him which hurt him. 

     Then more cracking sounds were heard, he was about to finally crush Shane's hand when he felt someone touch his shoulder, "Alfred", he heard kelvin call his name then he stood up and realized that those surrounding Shane were actually kneeling down in fear, and instead of feeling guilty he felt himself smiling, then he walked away with Kelvin. 

    "What was that about Alfred?"Kelvin asked him. "Hun?, I've no idea what you're talking about Kelvin", he said in an innocent voice. "Seriously everyone around Shane was actually kneeling in fear and most students were actually sweating, that isn't normal Alfred", Kelvin said while looking back at Shane and his friends who were still shaking in fear. 

    "Come on Kelvin, I'm fine. don't I look fine to you, let's just go home ", Alfred said then he started waking home ignoring kelvin. "HEY!! Wait for me Alfred", Kelvin shouted trying to catch up to Alfred while Alfred's eyes glows slightly red again. 

      On their way home Alfred suddenly stopped walking as he started hearing the heartbeat of everyone in the street and every single sound, some he could understand some he could not. The strange thing was that he actually felt like just finding someone and killing that person or pulling their heart out. 

    His eyes glows bright red again and this time it was very obvious as kelvin felt great fear behind him," Al…fred are you….o…kay?", he asked as he saw Alfred's eyes glowing red. 

Then he heard a growl. 

     Alfred was sure something was happening to him but he didn't know what it was, then he saw a man robbing a woman of her purse and felt like he had seen him before 

and the same feeling of pulling someone's heart out again or killing someone came back. He felt his teeth growing longer, and his nails also growing longer. 

"Growl!!"

   Kelvin heard that again. Alfred, afraid that he might hurt Kelvin suddenly used the last bit of sanity he has left to say a single word "Run" but it came out it a very hoarse voice.    

     "Hun?", Kelvin asked. "Run, Kelvin Run!!!", Alfred said hurriedly as he felt his last bit of sanity slipping away again but this time at a much faster pace. Kelvin decided to listen and followed his instincts and ran away. 

    While Alfred felt his hair growing longer and his ears getting longer. He looked at his hands and saw that they were becoming claws,very long claws. Trying to control himself he scratched the floor with his claws but he still couldn't control himself.

    So he looked for the man who robbed a woman of her purse earlier. The man was running away and he was able to strangely feel his scent. Then "ROAR!!!!" a loud roar was heard as he bolted with a huge amount of speed toward his direction while the woman who was there had already fainted from fear as she couldn't handle Alfred's huge killing intent.
