This One's Mine

Chapter 5-

This One's Mine

Penelope had spent the afternoon with her mom, but now she was working the night shift, so Penelope was bored. She drove herself to the local video store, planning on finding a movie to rent. She'd pop some popcorn, relax in bed, and just enjoy herself before going to bed.

When she pulled up, she saw another car in the lot and parked several spots down from it so that it wasn't awkward, not even glancing at it as she walked inside. When she did she noticed a familiar face, well back. "Hello? Is anybody working here?"

Not wanting to deal with his douchey attitude, she ducked to the right, behind the aisle, knowing she'd be covered. She started perusing the shelves, trying to decide what movie to get. She hears a crash and all the lights go out, leaving the store in the pitch dark. She puts down the copy of Lord of the Rings she was holding, looking around cautiously. Then she sees the most terrifying thing of all. This must be the Alpha. It's huge and black, hard to make out exactly in the dark store. It's standing in the center aisle facing away from her while she's frozen, staring at Jackson she assumes. Then its head snaps to her, barings its teeth.

Penelope snaps into action, scrambling to get behind the shelf. But it's no use. The Alpha jumps to the top of the shelf, standing over her as she lets out a shrill scream. She tries to crawl away, but the thing jumps down, standing over her, baring its canines. It rears back and clamps its jaw around her upper thigh, and immediately everything goes bright white in her mind and everything is silent, except for the voice. Not the Alpha's voice that she heard on the school bus, but a new one.

"This one's mine." She sees an image of a man, with the head of a goat and large curved horns, and large white eyes, before it all disappears and she's back in the video store.

Almost like it was burned, the thing yelped and let her go, backing away from her and whimpering as she cried and backed up as well. It then seemed to find its confidence again, turning and beginning to stalk Jackson. Penelope cursed herself and her cowardice, but she pulled herself up off the ground and limped along the side wall until she found a back hallway with an exit door. She pushed it open, stepping into the cold night air, and checking her leg she saw that it was still oozing blood. She limped around the building, rushing to her car. As soon as she threw herself into the driver's seat and locked the door, the beast burst through the front glass windows of the store, causing her to shout. Penelope starts her car, peeling off as soon as the thing is out of sight. Her vision is blurry, and she swerves as she gets control of the car, straightening it onto the road. She checks her mirrors nervously, worried that it may follow her. She drives straight home and goes to her room.

She whimpers in pain, limping to the bathroom, sitting herself on the closed toilet seat. Peeling out of her jeans, she checks the wound, noticing right away how much nastier it looks than Scott's did. Penelope cleans the blood, wiping the bite with alcohol, finishing it with a bandage. Her phone rings and she bends down, fishing it out of her pants pocket where they lay on the ground. Stiles' name and photo lights up the screen, and after a few moments of hesitation, she hits decline. He calls again immediately, and this time she lets it go to voicemail. Now she starts to think about the events of the night.

Not only was she bitten by a freaking werewolf, but she heard that voice in her head. And saw a goat man with red eyes. So now they had werewolves and were...goats to worry about? Everything was so overwhelming, and she was exhausted. Her phone beeped several times, and she saw that Stiles was texting her.
