Chapter Eighteen
Attack
The forest was deathly still, fog covering the banks of rivers, the tree not even moving from the breathless wind. Then, two shapes appeared from the fog, each holding a loaded gun. They were both dressed in Hunters outfit. The two glanced around themselves as they walked, the sound of their footsteps the only sound in the forest.
"This area is clean," the girl said, "Let's head back."
Her companion nodded.
The two started to make their way back when a growling sound echoed through the fog. The two Hunters quickly stood back-to-back, a defense position, as they scanned the wood with their weapons.
"What the fuck was that?" the companion said, "A bear?"
The girl narrowed her eyes, "Too deep for a bear."
"Then what was it?"
"If I knew, we won't be guessing what it was?" The girl snapped at him.
The growl echoed around them again, coming from the direction on the left. The two Hunters poised their weapons toward the location. Tense seconds rolled by as the two waited for the growling creature to make an appearance but he fog simply rolled around them as the wind blew slightly.
"Could have been a mountain lion," the companion suggested, lowering his weapon.
The girl did the same, relaxing herself a little.
"Could have,"
Then without warning, a large black shaggy shape flew out of the fog, catching the two by surprise. The companion didn't have time to raise his weapon and aim before he was taken down the animal ripping his throat open with its large jaws.
The girl only stumbled back against the tree behind her, too stunned as blood spilled the ground. Then the girl got a good look at the creature before her.
It was easily over seven feet tall, covered in fur, with long muzzle and glowing red eyes. Its feet were all filled with large deadly claws, and the beast let out an unearthly howl toward the sky which echoed around the forest.
The girl finally realized what her attacker was.
A werewolf.
Slave of the Vampires.
Holding up her gun, she aimed it at the werewolf whom had turned toward her, its red eyes sending a shudder down her spine…
Then, her finger pressed down on the trigger, sending a hail of bullets into the creature's flesh with pierced the thick fur, covering with red splotches, as the automatic gun rattled in her arms. The werewolf roared and jumped backward disappearing back in the fog. The girl approached her partner who lay dead on the ground before sending up flair in to the sky.
Asuka was going through the Hunter's training. She had first started on meditation unto which she was training her supernatural power that every born Hunter had within themselves.
"Do you feel it?" Hikari's voice asked her.
Asuka opened her eyes, the gasped.
Everything around her seemed to be trembling for lack of better word. She glanced around; noticing even the smallest details on her surrounding and her eyes turned toward Hikari and can see a wisp of a white glow around the girl and it was vibrant and strong.
"Everything is so…clear," Asuka said.
"The Hunter's Sight," Hikari told her, "It is a powerful weapon to us. It's allowing us to see the bloodsuckers for what they really are. You have done quite astonishing for those past few days Asuka. You can practice on using the Sight without meditation."
Asuka nodded, and at that moment two Hunter's entered the room.
"Hikari-dono," one said bowing, "We have troubling news."
"Let's hear it," Hikari said, turning toward the group.
"Patrol 9 was attacked in the forest," the Hunter said, "and Brother Liam has been killed."
Hikari was stunned by the news, "How?"
"Mauled, Sister Jeanne told us that it was a werewolf."
"A werewolf? Here?" Lilly repeated shocked.
Rei nodded.
"I think it's hunting for us," Rei told her, "as you know werewolves travels in pack so there might be more of them."
"Damn," Lilly said, "I'll bet Isaac send them on the hunt for us, but he is getting really cocky if he thinks a mere werewolf can kill you."
Rei looked at the sky.
"Isaac is not stupid Lilly," she said, "His plans…I can only guess of what they are. I'm certain he'll most likely do something extremely dangerous."
A noise drew her attention toward the large gates where a group of Hunter were carrying a dead body in the place. They watched as the Hunter worked to carry the body toward a building.
"Hey you never did tell me what happened with Asuka?"
"There is…nothing to talk about," Rei answered.
She jumped down from the roof she was standing on, landing on the ground in a crouch, Lilly landing beside her a second later. Rei then heads straight for Asuka who looked simply disgusted and horrified at the mangled body the other Hunters were carrying.
"Are you alright?"
Asuka glanced at her, and Rei can see her horrified expression on her face, but the redhead gave her a weak smile, one she returned.
"You guys are so…silly," Lilly boomed behind them.
"And you just had to break the moment," Rei growled at her, annoyed with the other vampire.
Asuka smiled a little.
Lilly then frowned glancing at the direction they had carried the body, "I've never heard of a werewolf abandoning their kills before."
Rei froze at that, her eyes widening in shock.
This was it, how could she have missed that?
She had figured out Isaac plan, but how did she overlooked it. Rei let out a hurl of curse words in every language she could think of at the moment, making both Lilly and Asuka looked at her.
"I understand enough of that to say I wouldn't dare let you kiss me with that mouth," Lilly said sounding amused.
"We need to find he body and behead it," Rei said launching forward.
"What? Why?"
"If not, he will raise as a werewolf," Rei told her, "a mindless creature hell bent on killing everyone in sight."
In the room they had placed the body, Ritsuko was examining it, her sharp eyes analyzing the state it was in. Hikari stood a little way away so was Misato.
"Well?" Hikari asked.
"Definitely a werewolf," Ritsuko said standing up, looking at her "Could be a rogue since Jeanne told us it was alone, or it could have been sent by the vampires in search for either Asuka's location or the two we have here, I'm betting on the latter."
At that moment, a strange gargle comes from the body and Ritsuko turned to find that the body was changing, covering in fur its mouth lengthening into a muzzle.
The dead body was changing into a werewolf.
