Abominable

Ch.18 - It's you...

"What did you just say?" Jimin had looked at me like I had grown two heads.

"You heard me, I said the creature we just killed was Natasha. I don't understand?" I bent down and decided to inspect the body.
The wound was gone. But how? She was dead? There was no way she could just magically heal herself.

"Guys we're not done yet! There's still more outside. We're losing too many of our people!" Jungkook screamed.

"Hoseok, Come with me. Jimin grab the injured and escort them to safety." We had never had an attack this severe before, especially with them being stronger, it was a bit more of a problem. I ran outside and saw the rest of the team. Namjoon, Taehyung, Jungkook and Hoseok were now up against the last dozen that were remaining.

The creatures looked slightly bigger. Their teeth were razor sharp. But they weren't taller than the one I dealt with inside. I spotted one particular that caught my eye, it stood still as if it were surveilling the fight. It then started retreating.

"That one's getting away." I panicked; they were all occupied with fighting. I just went after it myself. I grabbed a bow that was on the floor and aimed it at the creature. I let go and the sound of the stick hitting its back had me grinning in contempt.

So I ran after it, the blood seeped out it's wound leaving a trail along the ground.
"Cecile, where are you going!" Namjoon screamed out.
"I'm going after it! I have to figure out where it's leaving to. These don't look like the normal ones we deal with. Something is wrong. Stay here! I'll be back soon enough." I panted and sprinted after it.

I ran through trees and bushes, still having the blood smell lingering in the air. There was no sign of it. I looked left and right, then down, noticing a trail of blood.

My head quickly darted up when I heard a whimper then a yelp. That was it.

I ran and ran and soon came to a stop when I saw the creature laying lifeless on the ground. It's jaw has been split open with a deep gash on it's head.

"I've always hated those things." I spun around to where the voice had come from. Only nowhere to be found.
"Who are you? were you the one who killed it?" I backed up being aware of my surroundings.

"I did. I don't see how you guys struggled so much with killing them. They're too easy to kill." I noticed a figure standing next to a tree, as they begin to make there way out.

Slowly but surely I was able to recognize the long strawberry blonde hair. I gasped.
"You. I-I'ts, it's you." My voice was laced with shock, and then I began to grow angry.

"Hello Cecile. So glad to see you again." Alaric spoke softly. I scoffed and raised my bow in defense.
"You have some nerve showing your face again after all these years." He raised his hand and pointed at me and flicked his hand to the side which caused my bow to fling away.
