Hope's pov
As I was heading home, I sensed someone following me. I turned around slowly to find a man, with slightly graying hair and beard, aiming a rifle at me.
«Hope Marshall?»
«And you are...?»
«Your head is worth a lot of money, you must be pretty dangerous.»
It took me a moment to process what he had said.
«My head? There's a bounty on me?»«Put your hands where I can see them.»
«I don't think so.» With a spell, I drew the rifle to me, making it fly into my hands.
His eyes widened in surprise.I heard the door to my house open.
«Don't kill him!» a female voice pleaded from behind me.I turned to see Lydia and Stiles stepping out.
«I'm not going to-»«Wait, what the hell were you doing in my house?»
Stiles stepped in front of Lydia, and I frowned.
«I won't hurt either of you-» The man took advantage of my distraction, pulling out a gun and shooting me in the thigh.Stiles moved between me and the hunter, while Lydia implored him to stop; they seemed to know him, but he ignored their pleas.
«Wolfsbane bullets, either you come with me or you stay here and die.»
«As you said, I'm worth a lot of money, and there's a reason for that.»
I realized that the rifle I had taken from him was loaded with tranquilizers, so I shot him.
I put my hand on my aching leg, and with Stiles and Lydia's help, I went inside and sat down.
«What just happened? Do you know that man?» I asked Stiles and Lydia.
«We need to treat your wound first. It could be fatal, Hope.»
Stiles brought a lighter from the kitchen.
«What on earth are you doing?»
«If you want it to heal, you'll have to burn it.»
I shook my head.
«I'll be fine, pass me a knife.» He looked confused but complied.Naturally, it would have been much easier to extract the bullet with magic, but given their presence, I had to improvise.
I plunged the knife into my flesh and, after some difficulty, I managed to extract the bullet. The wound healed immediately.
Lydia and Stiles stared at me in disbelief.
«How?» Stiles asked, unable to process it.
I said nothing and got up from the couch.
