Hannibal: Your Mine

Chapter 16: The Wolf

Ivy's POV

Jack sent me out early so I could brake the news to Jimmy and Brain. They were working on our current case. I knew this was going to be hard, considering I spent at least a half an hour crying on Jack. I lingered in the doorway for a bit, just looking at them, trying to think of ways that didn't make it seem so bad.
"Hi, guys"

"Hi Ivy. So what was the crime scene like? Is it The Ripper?" Said Brian. I was so reluctant to say anything and just walk away, but Jack gave me a job and this was my last job to Beverly.
"Um, guys can you come over to my corner?"
They followed and I shut over the door.
"Well, it looks like the Ripper....But it's who the Ripper got..."

"Ivy, who is it?" Said a cautious Jimmy

"I'm sorry to say, it's Beverly Katz" I felt my eyes water at just saying her name. I see that all expression leave Jimmy's face. Brian just broke down. Brian was quite strong and quickly pulled himself together. Jimmy thought, he was in shock. He kept saying "No...No, not her....Not Beverly" He was shaken. I too was a bit shaken, First person to go was Will, now Beverly who's next? Jack, Jimmy....Hannibal. Just the thought of Hannibal being killed just made me well, sad. The truth is I had feelings for Hannibal, and even with everything going on, I hate to say it..I think I love him! Crazy to say it, but I really did, and from what I can tell, he loves me too.

Hannibal's POV

My usual swim was my only normal hobby. Swimming also helped me work out, which was always an added bonus. Really when you're killing lots of people, you do need to stay in shape. While I was doing my laps, I noticed a new member join in. This man was well toned and was going at a much faster pace. Soon the waters went still, as I was the only one here. I stopped only to be greeted with a dart. I tried my best to remove it, but I was slipping into a deep sleep and falling deeper into the waters.

Waking up, I found it hard to breathe. I tried to move my hands but found myself in a crucifix position. I realised too, my feet were on unstable ground; A bucket. I felt a stinging pain in my wrists.....They were slit. They wound was gaping and blood was exiting my body at a rather slow pace.
"You know you could just kick the bucket and have it all end, its faster than bleeding out"
This well toned man stood in front of me holding a gun. He was wearing my shirt too. The little shit...
"I'm going to ask you a few questions, you don't have to answer I'll just know
1: Are you the Ripper?"
I didn't speak, but his face lit up
"You are! Behold The Cheasapeak Ripper!"
My eyes flicker as air became short and blood became low. I opened my eyes to see 3 shadows emerge from a corner.

Ivy's POV

I was terrified of what I was about to find. We lingered in the doorway but couldn't make out their conversation. Jack, Of course, Took the lead. Jack had his gun at the ready
"Jack!!! He has a gun!!" Yelled a dying Hannibal. Jack shot his bullet but only managed to hit his shoulder. This, in the end, did send him flying backwards. In the spur of the moment, I began to run like an animal. When I approach the steps I found my self on all fours crawling up the steps, with great speed, I lept upon the man and began to bite at this trachea . He tried to get me off him, but with my 'Iron nails' I dug them into his wrists. His struggle soon ended, when at last I could taste his blood in my mouth. During this whole time, Jack yelled "Get a doctor!". I helped Jack hold up Hannibal.
"The wolf has returned....Haven't seen that in years" said Jack. I gave him a bloody smile
"Like a wolf, The wild calls and this is how I express it"

"You saved Hannibal today"

"No, Jack you did....I just done your killing"
I could still taste the blood from Hannibal's executioner.
Although Jack is the head of the pack, I learnt everything from him. He trained me to be the next leader. He is training me to be the next Alfa
