Chapter 7

LUNA'S POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I launched myself onto the back of the first man, digging my claws into his back. His scream echoed into the night. Before he could get his wits about him, I bit down onto the back of his neck, feeling his blood spil down his back. It tasted metallic and warm. Not wanting to give the hunters anymore time to figure out what was going on, I bit down harder and snapped his neck.  

As his body fell, I used it to launch myself onto the second hunter, the one with the whip. I landed on top of him, sending both of us sprawling into the dirt. I could hear "him" and the other hunter fighting behind me, but he would have to fend for himself for I had to deal with this hunter. 

I had lost the element of surprise, so this fight depended all on my skill. I was fairly confident of my abilities, but then a thought came to me, I could die. I pushed it out of my head, it would only cloud my thoughts making it harder to fight, and then I would die. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts. 

I don't even have time for any thoughts for the hunter whipped back his arm and launched it forward. I dodged to the side at the last second, hearing the whip whistle through the air and ending with a resounding "CRACK!" He drew it back and whipped it back at me again, but this time I judged my jump badly and felt the whip draw across my side. Hot blood streamed down my leg as a burning line of pain flared up. It hurt very much, but it was not unbearable. I can still fight.  

Being more careful this time, I prowl to the side of him attempting to flank him, but he turns with me. I will have to be clever to defeat him. So I charge at him and stop immediately and jump to the side and charge again, keep him on his toes and then make him lower his defenses, then I will strike. 

"Come on! No more games! Face me like ya mean it!" He spats at me. Well fine then I'll give him what he wants.  

I let out a snarl making my hair stand on end. I then charge at him jump to the side, then lift up my paw and swing. I feel my claws dig into soft flesh and feel his muscles tremble. He screams into the night, pulling his hands up to his face. Before I can attack again he turns and runs. I prepare to pursue him but then I hear a shot behind me. I freeze and turn around. I see a body fall to the ground as I hear a voice boom out from behind me 

"I know who you are and mark my words, I'll be back, and you will regret it."  

I ignore the voice and run towards the body. I prepare to strike but then see who it is. The person with the gun is the mystery boy. 

He looks at me then says "who..... Who are you?" 

To answer his question I think just one word, "human."
