Pack Mentality: A SkinWalkers Tale

Chapter 8

A gunshot rang out and Jade gasped out in pain as her whole body reacted to the gunshot. She looked down at her wound in her chest to see blood rolling out of the wound. Smoke slowly rose out of the wound indicating she had been shot with silver. Slowly her head lifted up from the wound in her chest to a man holding a revolver. She looked into his blood red eyes as he smiled at her. She looked as he walked up to her as she slowly fell to her knees. He placed the pistol to her head and looked at her as she looked at him. He pulled the hammer back on the revolver and smiled at her as he pulled the trigger.

Jade's eyes snapped open just as gunshots rang out around her. She felt as a hand was pulling her to cover behind a car. She snapped to enough to pull herself free of the hand. She looked into the brown eyes of an ebony skinned man. Before he could say anything a bullet snapped across the hood of the car. He reacted by snapping his assault rifle up and firing back at the Vipers. She looked past him to see Tori holding onto the children. Moving quickly she crawled over to them causing them to look at her. They quickly threw their arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW" the leader of the werewolves yelled over the gunfire.

Jade and Tori looked to him as he motioned them to follow him. Neither of them hesitated they needed to get the children to safety. Both of them got up and each held onto a child and they ran with the group. They followed the rest of the pack and as soon as they were around the corner they started to jump. They jumped into the air and landed on a building roof. After about five minuets of bounding roof to roof they stopped. Tori and Jade both looked the children over and saw neither one was hurt just shook up.

"We have been looking for you two for some time now" The leader said looking at them.

"And you would be?" Jade said standing up to face him.

"Andrew, the leader of the last pack of Skin Walkers" He said with a smile as he sat his gun down and walked over to them.

"So, us ten right here are in fact the last of our kind?" Tori asked as she stood up and stepped to Jade's side.

"Yeah, we are. The Vipers know that and so do the Lycans" Andrew said looking at them. "I was the wolf you two faced in the woods, I am sorry for being so brutal but I had to be sure you two were as dangerous as we had heard."

Jade looked at him and her eyes narrowed. Her mind flashed to her mother's death. Without warning she screamed and launched herself at Andrew quickly. Her hands gripped his shoulders as her feet slammed into his chest. Her teeth were bared as she growled at him. Before anyone could react Andrew gripped her sides and pushed her up into the air. He quickly spun her around and pulled her to himself. At that moment he crossed her arms and pinned her to the ground. He glared into her eyes and looked at her.

"Cut the shit, we have a blood moon on our hands, for the next month we will all be wolves. We need to work together to eliminate the Lycan threat. After that we can work on the Vipers. Once those are done and taken care of, then you two can go your own way." He growled as he looked into her eyes. Slowly he glanced back to Tori and looked at her as she nodded in agreement. He looked back to jade who just nodded slightly.

"Once this is over, never fucking come back to our territory" Jade snarled at him.

"No problem, I hate this goddamn city" he said helping her up.

"You do, I'll kill you" she snarled at him before getting into his face. "I know what you did here in this city all those years ago" she hissed out so only they could hear it.

"Oh, and what would that be" he challenged her looking into her eyes.

"I gave you those scars" she said before moving back over to Tori.
