I gasped in surprise and said, "A werewolf... So thats what you are! Oh my god, this is... well... weird..." I sighed. "And yes, I really don't know any latin, so thank you for explaining it in a way I understand." I smiled at him. This ruled. I knew an actual werewolf! Maybe thats what I was.... I shuddered at the thought, then kicked it out of my mind. Before he was probably just stating that he could kill me in a second or something, which was so true.

Phrax chuckled, patting Alina on the back.
"You're taking it better then I expected. Most run away, try to kill me or both." He took out a small notepad and a worn, ancient pencil, before writing the girl's name down.
"So, you want to know about my life. It'll take awhile, 2000 years isn't a short time, but I can summarise." He said quiantly as he wrote.

I looked up, surprised. "2000 thousand years?! Thats taking old to a whole new level!" I laughed. I knew what I'd be calling him form now on.... I chuckled darkly. "And yes, I do want to know about your life.... oldie..." I smiled as innocently as possible at him.

"Ha flaming Ha." Phrax said, his voice thick with cynicism as he closed the notepad. He then pulled up his left jacket sleeve to reveal the 4 letters 'S.P.Q,R' tattoed onto his arm. His arm was plastered in a mismatch of deep scars and cuts, even a very grizzly laceration near his wrist. It was a lean and muscular limb.
"How much do you know about Pre-Augustan Rome? That is, Juliuc Caesar, the Senate, etc." It was a rhetorical question.
"I was born Quintus Decimus Venatoris. Venatoris was an honorary title given to my father for hunting down an entire tribe of rebel Gauls. That's frenchmen. Because he was a Werewolf, and so was my mother."
He pulled up the sleeve and showed his other arm. It had less scars but an extra two very nasty lacerations that ,looked as if they had been infected at some point, just below his shoulder blade. There was another tatoo of "Who Dares Wins" in prosaic detail.
"That's from my time in the Black Watch, years ago."

I stood there, frozen. It was mystic and drawing me in. I couldn't help but stay and listen, staring at his cut up and tattooed arms. My mouth formed into the shape of an 'O'. "Wow..." was all I could manage as I learned his past. He was the most confusing creature I have even met, and also one of the oldest. I smiled inwardly, not letting it show on the outside.

Phrax then grinned, before pulling back his head in wild laughter, chuckling at the girl. After wiping a tear from his eye he managed to gasp out between chuckles
"Can't...believe...you fell for it."

My face flooded with red. I should have known that it was a joke or something. No one was ever serious with me. I felt my head boiling with the blood as I yelled out, "Hey! What the heck? I thought you were gonna tell the truth!" At that moment, I hated his guts. I felt my hands ball into fists and begin shaking.
