Chapter 84
Johnathan pov
Taking off after the trail the only thought is to finish this for good. Ran as fast as I can pushing myself to my limit. The faster we get there the sooner we can end this. When we do arrive will have us spread out to cover the whole area. No one will be able to get by us. Trying hard to find an in I hear the sounds of wolves fighting. The growls of two wolves I know well. The Thompson boys let's hope they don’t actually, put themselves out of this fight.
The air around me started to shimmer and shift. A hard snapping hits me in the chest taking my breath. The smell of rot and decay explode all around me. Rogues spill into view as the run-down cabin appears. The spell was broken. A big ugly wolf charges me a slice down his face still red and angry and oozing with puss. Whatever happened they meant for a scar to be left behind. It wasn’t a claw mark but didn’t have the burn of a silver blade. His eyes are empty. He's just a rage-fueled weapon for someone. Sliding his claws out staying in human form at his weakest why? This is a fight he can't win and it's a fight I refuse to ignore. This is a wolf that needs put down. Lowering his head he charged.
Swiping his claws at me telegraphing his every move. Easily able to dodge his attacks I decide I will tire him out. Why waste the energy on him? I was starting to get cocky with my dance with this rogue. I looked away for less than a nanosecond but it was all he needed. He was on me able to get his claw around me slicing into my ribs and spine. Yipping in pain I swipe at him hitting him back only to lose my footing when I slipped in the blood that puddled under me. The rogue lunged once again landing on me and shoving me back onto my back. Kicking out with all four legs trying to catch him somewhere to fling him off of me. Punching his claws into my side my chest constricts as my breath is taken. Looking up into his evil face fighting hard to land my paw on him. Gasping darkness closed in around me. Just as I was about to give up I feel his claws start to slowly slide out of my sides. Sweet air slowly starts to fill my slowly healing lungs. The head falls forward.
Thick red bubbly goo starts to seep out of his mouth as his weight falls forward. the iron scent is strong as his face gets closer to my nose as he slowly falls forward on me. His claws retracted letting me take in more air by the second. Once I can get him off me without ripping my torso up I do. Finding a very large kitchen knife stabbed in his back right under his ribs up into his heart. Whoever did this wanted him dead? Looking back I see a small she-wolf maybe 14 or 15 breathing hard just staring at him. Shifting to talk to her. “are you okay?” she just nods “do you need help?” again she just nods “what's your name?” cocking her head finally looking at me she seems to think hard then shrugs. This interaction is odd. When she startles I look behind me. Again I shouldn't have. Looking back another rotten wolf is behind the girl. Her eyes are wide in shock and pain. Looking down I see a fist in the center of her chest. Dripping with hatred blood. In his fist is her heart. He squeezes hard the blood oozing out of it melting over his fist down his arm. Coating his skin in the thick hot stream of her life. The squshing sound turns to a ripping sound as the heart is squeezed into pieces. Landing on the ground with a soft thud. Once the heart had been mashed to a mush he opened his fist letting the remains fall from his hand to the ground. Followed by yanking his fist back out of her body letting her drop into the remains of her heart on the ground. A loud thud echoes through me as her head hits the ground. “JULIEEEEEEEEEE!” a young female screams. A voice I know well whipping my head around I see a naked Hannah being dragged behind a dirty wolf. A collar around her neck is attached to a chain. Forgetting about the rogue in front of me I change direction to go after Hannah.
The big guy charged slamming his shoulder into my side and knocking me back. Not giving me a chance to get away from him as he shifts and jumps at me again. Forgetting about Hannah I fight back with all I have. This wolf is a bigger challenge than the previous one. I can't let my eyes or mind wander. This one seemed to know about the wolf that took off he might be an option to keep alive for questioning if I can. Trying to take him down without taking his life is going o be a dangerous dance I don’t know who will win.
While fighting hard my mind is pulled in half listening to what will is hearing while fighting this wolf. Using all my strength to keep my mind in both places and my body just out of his reach. When the message from the red eyes on the screen was over I tried to talk to will only to be shut out and blocked off. A new science of panic fills me. The need to get to will fill me to the point I could hardly breathe. Centering myself I go on the offensive and charge this wolf snapping my teeth at him. His eyes widen as I lose the hold I had on my humanity slipped and my wolf took over completely. Lost to the wild nature of a full-grown beta wolf. sinking my teeth into his foreleg clamping down so hard I feel and hear the bone break. This blood slid over my tongue spilling over my lips. Dripping to the ground. I start shaking my head from side to side hard. I can hear the tearing of his skin and the popping of his shoulder. His foreleg rips where my teeth are. His leg came from his body in a loud wet rip. Blood sprayed all over me and hit the ground flooding with his blood as it pumps out of his veins. Lifting his head howling in pain I drop his leg in the blood puddle with a splash. Launching at his throat and biting down hard. He yanks back helping me rip his throat out. Dropping the chunk of his neck from my mouth spinning looking for Hannahs's scent trail.
