Jack ran at his fastest making as little noise as he could afford in the direction of her screams, he slowed to a stop when he hears a low growl in front of him if his assumptions were right about her she could smell him, he clears the leaves obstructing his view and he beholds a pure slivery white wolf bigger than any wolf in nature about the size of a bear with a star on it's neck shake off the dirt in it's fur as it stands to it's feet and growls at him, he raises the hand, the sliver knife in his hand makes it's growl increase.
"Baby girl it's okay. It's just me Jack. I came to find you and take you back, it's dangerous to be hear alone." he says as he lowers the knife to the ground, he had others in his belt and a crossbow strapped to his back with a sliver arrow, Jack was as prepared as possible. The werewolf watches him it's blue eyes glowing under the moonlight, she was beautiful even in wolf form that he could not help but admire, she allows him draw nearer to her with his knife forgotten behind him as he raised his hand to touch her fur; her growl increases so he leaves his hand in the air, she sniffs him and licks his hand. Lisa could tell from Jack scent that he'll not hurt her, Lisa sniffs air and smells the danger that had made her panic, she turns facing her front in the direction of the approaching threat, she could hear paws strike the earth while backing Jack in defense; she growls, he was puzzled at her reaction, looking in her direction he brings down his crossbow he stood ready till he saw three big werewolves coming from the direction she faced.
Two of them were gray and the one in the middle, possible their leader as he took the lead was brown and their eyes a glowed golden yellow; Jack swallows hard, he had read about the stating of position, when the meet the less dominant submits authority to the more dominant, the staring down of Lisa wolf did not seem to affect he, her blue eyes just watches him coolly and he knew her type were called Omegas, the one wolf who did not fit in park position without the need to obey a more dominant wolf they were essential as they could calm the fierceness in the dominant wolves, his anxiety in the air, taking a grip of his gun from his shoulder length he settles beside her aware of the disapproval in her growl, he smiles; he won't be a hunter if he ran away.
Jack knew Lisa alone will not be able to handle them as the two side entered into a stare down, patting her to reassure Lisa wolf he turns and runs toward his knife the brown wolf snares when it saw Lisa was not reacting, he attacks with a grey wolf, the other ran after him, Lisa look once in his direction before launching to face the two werewolves in a battle of attrition, the last one behind him was fast and gaining up, he slides dropping his bow and picking up his knife he stood tapping his watch to get Peter's attention. Jack turns to face the charging gray werewolf, he steadies himself holding tight his sliver knife in one hand and a gun in the other while maintaining his watch at eye level, it blinks an arrow pointing to the left, he smiles throwing his knife, it dodges it, he bent in attempt to pick his bow and the werewolf leapt into air targeting his head, jack rolls to the side as the sound of a sliver bullet made contact with the canine, one, two, three, four, five bullets in quick succession tore the werewolf head and it lay in the sand unmoving, if it was healing Jack could not take chances so he rose as quickly as he could , he heard the snare and snaps of teeth behind him, Lisa was losing as he heard the occasional yelp of pain.
Jack searches his belt and brings out a vail as he reaches the werewolf, it's jaw was split and there was a large hole in it's head. The content of the vail gleams under the moonlight, it was molten sliver and pours it through the hole even with the werewolf skin sizzling it could barely move, sliver poisoning will slow down it's regenerative skill and buy him more time.
Lisa tore at the brown werewolf with her claw, he nimbly steps to the side dodging her attack while the gray werewolf launched itself at her, Lisa doubles back as wolf claw tears at her fur, with her growl and threating she snap at the gray wolf's neck holding it in her grip and she pressed down on him, the browns wolf seeing the opening launched at her neck when two sliver bullets met him halfway one enters his mouth and tears through to soft part of his flesh, it staggers backward as angry rises, it wanted to find the human as that's what his nose told him; find the human and destroy it, the second bullet met it's fur and could not penetrate but it strung making a deep growl rise from it's mouth and into the air, two more bullets met his fur, the injury in it's mouth was healing slower than usual, something hit the fur of his hind leg and tore through it, he turned to watch the human hold a crossbow in it's hand smiling and waving at him; the fury consumes it and the beast was taking control as the growl became deeper.
The gray werewolf under Lisa had gone cold but Lisa still held on shaking her sideways until the head were separated from it's body there was a fierceness in her eyes but he knew she no match for the brown werewolf who was more experienced and bidding time for his wound to heal, he had dislocated it's jaw but the healing was almost done, it flexes it's jaw in pains.
"Lisa," Jack calls and the wolf turns to him, he motions it to hurry to him sand Lisa's wolf form sniffs the air along with it came Jack's eagerness, sweat and protectiveness which masked his fear which was not of her but the danger she was in and it calmed her down as she ran to his side.
Jack saw the brown werewolf reaching for the arrow at it thigh, trying to snap at it but it's pose was relaxed too relax, Lisa wolf form wanted to pounce but Jack was already in front of her blocking her advance, during training his teacher had said there are two kind of strength: the strength to face the enemy head on till one dies and the strength to run at your fastest when the enemy is greater than your strongest attack. Only fools fight a losing battle. Jack smiles, the brown werewolf was baiting them to attack "run." he says and bolts back the way he came, shortly Lisa was at his side hitting him to get on her as she passed him in one leap, he understood her that he was too slow and between a wounded pride and death he choose the first and got on Lisa who was as big as a bear in wolf form, the same size with the one behind them who growls in the frustration of having to chase a cub. Jack knew he was in the right to run as the wolf stood a moment surprised as they ran, pulls the arrow off vigorous shake of itself and leap after them in chase. Lisa was fast but the other wolf was closing the distance.
They reached a clearing running toward the house on the hill, Jack had several marks on him that were bleeding from dashing through the forest, he could see the shape of Peter's family and he was sure Peter could see them with the brown werewolf closing in on her tail he nudges her in the direction of the sniper's best range while he worked an arrow into the crossbow and lay on Lisa the heat from her body warming him, she had saved him; the brown werewolf leapt into the air at them and an arrow met it square on it's left eye, Lisa moves to the side to avoid his landing, it swipes it's claw to get at it's enemies and manages a swipe at Jack leg, the growl came fast with the scent of Jack's blood in the air and she wanted to stop and confront the wolf but Jack kept nudging her forward whispering "I'm okay." several times
Jack keeps silent not to make her stop, she could smell his pain in the air but stopping now would not be to his favour and she could not protect him and fight the wolf so she endures growling in anger, they came out of the bushes and ran toward the side of the house, the brown werewolf had leapt in the air the second time and midway it bent it's direction as a bullet met it on the neck, a spark it the dark night as the force carries it to the ground, it rolls twice and was on it's feet; the bullet had not been strong enough to penetrate it's fur and the wolf had sensed it and was fast enough to dodge.
Lisa got them to the side of house, turns to face the enemy growling beneath, he knew she could feels his hand pet her neck, but in her anger it took a while to calm her down; Lisa kept on watching the werewolf wearily.
The brown werewolf jumps to the side as another bullet hit it's fur creating sparks, it kept the attack away from the soft part of it's body and met it with his fur and in that manner Peter kept it at bay, the poison from a single arrow could paralyze a bear but two had left no effect on the brown werewolf, his eye wound was still healing, Lisa felt Jack come down while patting her in reassurance of his safety.
The claw mark on his legs were burning keeping him alert in pain, he limps when he lands on the ground but steadies himself, peter would not be able to keep up as the bullets were bound to finish and the reload time was enough for a werewolf to attack. Jack rest against the wall and brings out his gun to reload.
The gun shots stop and the brown werewolf takes a moment to adjust before launching himself in their direction but he stops midway and turns his attention in the directions of the city which they could not see, Lisa sniffs the air, the scent of the approaching werewolf was familiar, she could feel a faint connection to the approaching werewolf, she could not tell more than that but the enemy had abandoned her and Jack to face a greater threat, a gun shot hit it square on it's nose tearing it off, it whines but did not dare shift attention from the incoming party and Jack knew that Peter had taking advantage of the incoming werewolf , he made the last bullet count.
The brown werewolf was bleeding and snaring in the direction Lisa was sniffing at, he saw her tension relax and she settles on the floor so he concluded that whatever was coming that could freak the enemy was very powerful and ally, he types ally approaching into his watch, sends and lay beside Lisa, the pain increasing makes Lisa sniff him rubbing her neck on his chest in affection, the enemy was there and not far from them but forgotten and he like that, Lisa bit and tore the tattered Jean that stuck to his wound, he gritted his teeth in pain but as she licks at his wound which was bright red, he could feel a tingle in his skin as an energy passes through her saliva making the pain reduce, he knew then that there was no stopping the change and he found himself drifting close to sleep, he held on tight to his gun, making her stop he sat up as the pain came back again kept him awake.
The attack was too fast for the enemy to react, a big werewolf with a red fur slightly bigger than Lisa wolf form and the brown werewolf ran across the lawn that before the brown werewolf could dodge or counterattack the red werewolf claws hit it on it's neck sending it across the lawn, it lands, rolls and bows submissive to the red fur werewolf who growls, the brown wolf turns running into the forest to get away from the red wolf who stood a while before giving chase both moving out of their view.
Lisa stands up and growls at Peter who arrives at the edge at their side of the house. Jack pats her as Peter kneels bowing his head in submission to tell her he was no threat, she kept her growl but allows him to reach Jack beside her. Jack moves his hand through the fur of her head making her to settle down.
"This is bad." Peter says as he looks at the claw marks, Jack smiles as Lisa growls. "You'll be one of them or die during the change it has spread through your veins. This is dangerous you know you hunter blood will..." Peter stops speaking as Jack motions him to stop while looking at Lisa whose wolf ears stood on alert.
" I could tell myself all that. What are you driving at ?" Jack asks.
"The family is coming this way and as much as I don't like this. It'll be best if you all are gone before then. I would not want them keeping you in chains." Jack raises a brow.
"They contacted me, all the werewolves they were engaging retreated with 10 dead and we lost Jude and Alice." Peter allows Jack to take it in as tears gathers in his eyes, Jude and Alice were his early trainers who thought him the basics, the tears drops freely , Lisa could perceive Jack's sorrow, she turns and rests her head on his lap "Jack you need to understand it's not save."
"Do you know why they came for her ?" Jack inquires of Peter who smiles and looks to the full moon shrugging his shoulder. The pain from his leg was intense, making him grit his teeth, he would not bother them but the one good thing about the pain was that it cleared his head and he could think clearly.
"Charles says the werewolves territory is a long journey... " Jack stops as Lisa growls standing up when Jerry who they had figured was the red come out with the brown werewolf head in his hand, Lisa goes toward Jerry who drops the head at Lisa feet who claws at it reducing it to shred.
"Whatever made someone as strong as that seek refuge here among hunters and who send werewolves on a three months journey must be evil." Jack adds.
Jerry and Lisa look to the right in the direction of forest at the back of the house, Lisa growls, Jack and Peter reach for their gun ready to shoot when Jerry holds his hand up motioning them to keep calm, Jack and Peter finally heard want sounded like fast bikes approaching and relaxed, Jerry they noticed was dress in a cowboy outfit in human form and Jerry being clothed puzzled Jack but he kept quiet.
"We need to go now." Jerry told Lisa who responds by shifting closer to Jack. Jerry looks at Jack and walks to him, kneeling he examined the injury ignoring Lisa defensive growl.
" it's did not make contact with bones, it would take days of pain for the change to work it's way to through your body; we could cut of your leg to stop the progress or the skin either way you would not use this leg again." Lisa growls deeper at that, jerry went on ignoring Lisa " You can also come with us and once we're in a safer place, I'll commence the change myself, with me your chances of survival is 92%, alone below 10. Choose." Peter was about to speak when Jack held up his hand.
"You the hunter blood in you will..."
"I'll have gone regardless. Let's not tarry." Jerry let's Jack climb Lisa and the disappear into the forest leaving from Peter's view.
The bikers motorcycle came into Peter's view and Charles in black biker's leather jeans and a dark hoody of age thirty-five was leading the charge. Charles, Jack's father was not going to be pleases with the news but Peter did not know any other way to deliver it.
Charles took overview of the Clawson family home, he could see remains of empty bottles, disposable cups, even a lady forgotten handbag, Peter the only child of his friend and brother James rested against the wall and in front of him was the brown werewolf head the same one that escaped their enclosure with two other wolves in toe and the leader of the attack, his death must have been behind the retreat and not to undermine Peter he knew that Peter would be no match fpr what lay at his feet.
"What happened here ?" Charles asked his eyes surveying the area till it settles once more on the werewolf head unlike many rumor the wolf never transform back to human if they die wolf and neither to wolf killed as human. He was prepared to find them dead and try to reduce the damage a wolf of this size will cause in a city of wolves but as he also hoped Jerry got here in time to save his little boys. He knew about Jerry being the one that allowed his stay here 19 years ago but that was a long time, he brought his mind to the present.
Peter follows Charles gaze, "A party" when Charles gaze settled on the werewolf head " Mr Jerry as a werewolf killed him." He thought a little and added "The owner of the diary farms."
"Jack ?"
"A possible werewolf and with them." Charles came down from his bike and everyone behind him follows; they were not afraid of him, Charles never scared people they respected him as the owner of the Arrow cooperation, Jack's Father and their leader.
"I see, were they after Lisa ?" Peter nodded to his question.
"Gasper, Donald" Charles calls and two huge men with a shot gun on their shoulder and sword in their hands, Peter noted it was still dripping blood. "For the next one month intense training for Peter, if he dies bury him." Peter looks at Charles with horror.
"For your future party and for Jack's sake I hope you survive. The pain of the transformation will be enough punishment for him if he survives." Jack a long way and on Lisa back could not help but sneeze, even with the warmth from Lisa he shivers.
"I killed a werewolf." Peter says out with a smile.
"Great, he's useful people and not just looking for the ladies." The riders behind Charles laughs.
"Make sure he does not die but become every bit a warrior." They all shout the warrior cry.
"Everyone is to do training and in a month time we go to the wild to bring our son back and kill everyone that tries to stop us." They all roar, he turns to Peter "You can start with cleaning the lawn." With that he went into the house as Peter collapses on the floor. Charles looks in the direction Jack went, he could trust Jerry to keep his boy safe.
