Fallen Moon

Chapter 10: Ultimate Betrayal (Part 02)

The werewolf twins returned to the Nightshade campsite. Both of them were shirtless wearing only their black slacks. Claire figured they must have left their clothes somewhere in the forest. Both of them were exhausted. They must have searched every inch of the werewolf territory line from top to bottom. Which meant, there was one only place her sister could be. Jayson wiped the sweat from his brow panting heavily. Jay was resting on his brother's shoulder equally drained. The claw marks Lycan left on Jay's face were now healed. All that was left of it was a faint scar that would most likely fade away by morning.

"Did you guys find her?" Claire handed them both some water bottles. She was dressed in her navy blue jacket, a pair of blue jeans, and blue converse shoes.

"Does it look like we found her?" Jayson yelled, snatching the bottle. He ripped it open with his werewolf fangs pouring it on himself. "We looked for that bitch everywhere. Lycan is going to kill us for coming back empty handed but of course little miss Princess doesn't give a shit. She's too busy playing hooky." He tossed the bottle on the floor. "I'm tagging out bro, I'm too tired for this shit." He walked away furiously.

"He stepped on an enemy trap on the way here," Jay explained. "He said some girl tried to make him her pet."

"This girl, brunette?" Claire asked, he nodded. "She wore a pink top and had these strange Sais with markings?" He nodded again. "Yeah, Raven and I had a run in with her too." She added. "It was rather annoying."

"I can't really say what happened." Jay took a drink from the water bottle. "I was only there to bail him out. I've been noticing her scent a lot in the woods. I haven't said anything cause well, she's not a werewolf. Therefore not a threat," He added. "I kind of feel bad for her." He took another drink.

"Why?"

"I did some asking around in town," Jay answered. "Turns out, the girl's family was killed by vampires. She has a huge grudge against them. I think she's trying to recruit a werewolf so she'd have something capable of fighting a vampire." He took another drink. "I haven't told Leader Lycan about her because he'd only have us turn her. The girl's been through enough besides there's no guarantee she'd survive the transition."

"I'm glad you've noticed her." Claire laughed. "Otherwise, I'd question your skills as a tracker." Jay let out a loud yawn, stretching. "You're tired, you should get some rest." She encouraged him.

"I would but, Lycan said not to come back till we found your sister." Jay poured water on his face to wake up. "I've searched everywhere but her scent's gone cold. I should get going, if Lycan catches our scent. He'll kill us for coming back without her."

"I wouldn't worry about that." Claire flashed a bottle of sleep aid. "I might have spiked Lycan's beverage. Call it payback for hitting you guys." She chuckled. "They should make it a new rule, title it. Rule #01, Don't mess with the medic. She'll spike your shit." She joked, Jay busted out laughing. "Seriously though," She half smiled. "Thank you for standing up for me, I know it wasn't easy and-" Jay kissed her. Claire felt her heart racing during the kiss and it was so...unexpected.

"Don't worry about it." Jay placed his hand on her shoulder. "Though, for future reference, I wouldn't spike Leader Lycan's drink. If he finds out, he'll kill you and if Alejandro finds out, there are worse fates than death. So please, just don't do it." He let out a loud yawn. "Well, I'm going to get some rest. I'll start searching for Raven again sometime before Lycan wakes up." He walked to his tent. "Oh and," He smiled at her. "Good night, Claire."

"Night," Claire blushed.

Now that the twins had given up their search. It was time for Claire to get started on hers. She already knew exactly where to look. The trouble was, she wasn't allowed to leave the campsite. So, she had to lower the pack's guard. She spiked Lycan's drink so he's out of it. The twins were now sound asleep which left the hardest of all.
