face.—though he was standing there armless, he didn’t look worried at all.
    Damon raised his blade to strike him down and the doctor just smiled as he dove over the cliff. He bounced off the cliff face a few times as his cauterized wounds were ripped open but still no blood fell. He flipped and twisted as he hit the water face first with a “Slap!”
    Slowly sinking into the shallow water, he disappeared from Damon’s vision.
    Damon reached out to Mona. “Come on, I have to get you out of here,” he said.
    Mona grabbed his hand and nodded in agreement. They started running away when they heard a loud thud behind them. Damon turned and saw the doctor standing there; both of his arms had regrown. The doctor ripped off his tattered shirt, revealing his heavily scarred body. “I’m going to rip you in half boy, and then I’m going to take my time with your sweet little girlfriend.”
    Damon looked at Mona and threw his car keys to her. “Run!” he shouted.
    Mona hesitated, but one glance at the doctor’s evil glare and she started running for it.
    Damon turned back towards the doctor, who was already charging full speed at him. Damon tried to swing at him, but he was fast and caught Damon unexpectedly. He blocked Damon’s swing as he grabbed the boy by the wrist, slugging him hard in the stomach, and throwing him through a tree.
    The doctor slowly walked over to Damon, who was struggling to rise to his feet. Damon raised his sword to defend himself but the doctor just smacked it away. Sending it flying into a tree, the blade pierced clean through the tree up to its hilt.
    The doctor reached down and grabbed Damon by the throat. “I wasn’t kidding when I said I was going to rip you in two,” the doctor threatened. “But first I am going to beat you to a pulp.”
    The doctor picked him up and his nails dug into Damon’s skin, drawing blood. Damon couldn’t breathe. “Oh, no, you don’t get to pass out that easy,” the doctor said as he balled up his free hand into a fist.
    The doctor dropped Damon and slugged him as hard as he could in the chest. Damon flew backward, clutching at where the doctor had hit him. It felt like the doctor’s fist was buried in his chest. The pain quickly vanished from his chest as his back crashed through tree after tree; finally, he tumbled to the ground. He tried to rise to his feet, but the pain was too much and he collapsed. He knew he had lost and was about to experience one of the most gruesome deaths a human could experience.
    The doctor had a huge smile on his face as he strolled on over to Damon. He took his time; he knew Damon was beaten and unarmed—completely helpless.
    The doctor stood over Damon, who was lying face down in the dirt. He gave him a swift kick in the ribs, causing him to roll over. “I want to look you in the eye as I kill you,” the doctor taunted.
    The doctor grabbed Damon by his wrists, raising him into the air. Damon dangled there and lifted his head up to look the doctor in the eye. The doctor was staring right back at him. “You know, this brings back memories. I think it was ten years ago. A hunter by the name of Hoch Jager had been tracking me for miles,” the doctor explained before interrupting himself. “Oh , weird, that’s your last name too, isn’t it. Was he a relative?”
    “That was my grandfather,” Damon coughed out. “So you’re the monster who took him from me. I made a promise to avenge his death and I swore I would.”
    “Well now it looks like you are going to share his fate.”
    The doctor started pulling on Damon’s arms, straightening him up. Using the momentum, Damon kicked hard into the doctor’s chest, sending the doctor stumbling backward onto his backside. Damon fell to the ground, bouncing off and back onto his feet. The doctor jumped to his feet and looked at Damon.
    Damon’s eyes were now blood red with pitch-black pupils. “Oh, still got a lil’ fight left in you—and I can see why. Been consuming
