07 Finding Them.

Mom.
What ?

Me.
Are you at the store ?

I text her but no reply. Alright, lets just go and see for myself.

As i'm driving to the grocery store the conversation with Yelena pops in my head .
"You won't survive alone." She said. But i'm not alone. I hope i'm not alone. It took me five minutes to get there. It was quiet. Really quiet. All i can hear is the wind blowing. I see my moms car parked and I park just outside the store next to hers and go in. I stop in my tracks and listen.

Nothing. No talking, no footsteps. She's not here. I go back outside to see if Johns and Deans car is still here and it is. Where did they go ? I don't think they went home on foot. It's like 3 miles. I go back in the store and bring out my phone and dial my moms number.
The second it start to ring i hear my moms phone in the store, i go in deeper in the store towards the ringing phone. I stop when i see a cart with food all over the place and i see my moms phone on the ground. The call ended and i go up to pick the phone up. I look around. I see a knife on the ground. Deans. I already know whos that is.
I crouch to pick up the knife and i hear something. I quickly stand up straight and look around. I take out my own knife and look through the shelves. But nothing. I look at all the shelves and i see a black paper underneath some packs of salt and sugar.

Code black. We don't use them often only when we have been taken , witch has happened only once. But still they come in handy.  Code black means werewolves took them. All of them ? How many werewolves were here then ?  I look around to find some other clues of where would they take them, but i don't find anything else.

I pick up Deans knife and go out the store before they come back and take me too. Please everyone be alive. I will find you. Just give me some time.
I go out side and look around. I look at the building and crosswalk and the street. I go closer to the street and look at the tracks. They are not my tracks. Certainly not my moms. It's more of a dirt.
My mind becomes so full that i can't focus anymore. They're taken. And i can't find them. My anxiety jumps out and i'm starting to get really nervous. What if i can't find them ? What if they're already dead ? What if i'm too late ? All these questions roam my thoughts right now.

"Don't be afraid " the voice said and i jumped and turned around and there she stood .My heart started to beat faster and i started to sweat , a lot.
"You can do it..." she said again and i closed my eyes.
"Go away, go away." I said to her. While squeezing my eyes shut as hard as i can.
"You're not real, you're dead. You're just in my head." I said again and put my arms on my ears. I started breathing heavy. I started to loos oxygen.  I fell to my knees, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Mom I can't loos you too..." i say to myself looking at ground trying to catch my breath.
"Then find us..." her voice echoed through the air. And i rose my head to see her but there was no one. If i won't find them, they will kill her.
"Alright Eira breathe." I told my self in between breathes. I took one big breath, held it and then let it out. I did that couple of more times before my breathing was steady again.

I got up to my feet again and looked around . I looked at the tracks again. There probably was only one car. By the tracks it could be a van , so that everyone could fit in. They're coming from somewhere where is lot of dirt and probably muddy.  If there was 6 of my people , then there could be little more them 6 of werewolves.  I turn around because i have a feeling like someone's watching me but i don't see anyone. 

Woods. One word comes in mind. They're somewhere in the woods. That would explain the mud on the road. They are werewolves, where else would werewolves take them.

I got on my bike and went home to prepare for whatever will happen.
At home i call Yelena.
Me.
Hey...
Yelena.
Eira, is everything alright?
Me.
I need a favor.
Yelena.
What's up ?
Me.
Can you drive two cars to the woods, by the main entrance ?
Yelena.
Why ?
Me.
Long story, but can you ? Please.
Yelena.
Alright. Where's the cars.
Me.
At the grocery store. I'll send you picks of how they look.
Yelena.
Alright. Can i take someone with me ?
Me.
Yea, just don't tell Jeremy where you going and what you doing... alright...
Yelena.
Alright.
Me.
Thanks, bye.

Before she can answer i hang up and get ready. It's currently 7PM it's getting kinda dark. It's almost a sunset. Yelena texted me that the cars are in the place couple of hours ago.

I have my bow, sword and a knife on me and i'm ready to go. Well this can go two ways. The first one is that we all are going to die and the second one is that i save them  before someone gets killed.
I get on my bike and make my way to the woods.

When i get there i park and go in the woods on feet.  I tried to be quiet for a long shot but i think they could hear me anyways. But lets hope they were doing something else.

Wait. Are they gonna be in a house ? Shit i didn't think about that. I kept walking until i heard a brunch snap. I turn to the sound and one of them attacked me. It wasn't  a werewolf, it was a demon. I hit him in the jaw, take out my knife and stab him in the neck. I push him off and get up. I look down and my boots were all in mud.
"Oh you must be joking ..." i say and drop my arms down. I continued walking until i heard some chattering and a dim light. They're there. I decided to climb on the tree and then use my bow to kill them, but if there was one demon , there must be more. Demons and werewolves?  Together ? It can't be.
I got on the top of the tree and i could see everything from here. They were tied to trees . Total of 8 together. I could see 3 demons and i guess the rest are werewolves. This is gonna be hard. Well at least i took demon killing arrows too. I take one out and aim at the one demon. If i want to kill them , i will have to be real fast with this.
