Whispered promises

Chapter 7

Kate drives through the streets of beacon hills . The radio is playing through the suv speakers . "In other news local authorities remain perplexed by the animal attacks plaguing Beacon Hills "

Kate a beautiful twenty-something driving, clicks to another station. Music blasting through the speakers, she drums the wheel to the beat as a light thump catches her attention. She puts her foot on the brake and slows to a stop in the road .Turning off the radios she glances in the rear view mirror.

The road behind her lies empty. Nothing at all.
Kate cranks the radio again and hits the gas. But an unease has crept over her. And with good reason...through the rear windshield behind her are two glowing red eyes appear in the darkness.

While Kate nods her head to the music, those Red Eye's surge ever closer, approaching as if to attack. But instead they disappear into the shadows like lights clicking off. Through the passgener window . Trees flit by, deep woods flanking the right side of the car where--

The Red Eye's appear again. A dark shape keeping pace with the vehicle. As if sensing something watching her, Kate glances out the window . Almost in the same instant, the eyes vanish again. Kate's gaze lingers too longShe doesn't see she's coming up too fast on a red light. Finally turning to look, she slams on the brakes, screaming to a stop.

" Nice, Kate, Nice driving" Kate whispered . Before She snaps the radio off, then waits in silence for the light to change. The seconds tick by. She nervously taps a finger on the wheel, eyes glancing about. Finally, the light changes to green and kate starts to lift her foot off the brake when--

A loud thump on the roof of the car startles her. Her eyes go up as she sucks in a breath but no other sound follows while her gaze wanders down from the roof to--the passenger window where inky black shapes move among the dark woods. Impossible to tell if it's just trees and foliage in the shadows. Or something else...

Kate leans closer to the passenger window, squinting to see if something is out there while behind her- before the sudden drivers side window explodes into the car .

Kate screams as a clawed hand grabs at her from the roof digging into her jacket, it drags her up toward the shattered window as she struggles against it . "No, no--" Kate urged , her voice laced with panic .

Her hand quickly reaches behind her seat, fingers grasping at something as the Alpha tries to pull her out. Kate finally grabs the shot gun and whips it up and pulls the trigger, blasting a hole through the roof of her car.

The passenger door of the car slams open. Kate rolls out to a crouched stance, shotgun primed. The move is fluid and fast. "Come on , come on " kate yelled urging it to come forward again . Kate quickly moved over to her suv boot and opened it taking a rifle and opens a crate full of array of guns , bullets and ammunition and picks up a box with a engraving of a flower onto the lid and loads a bullet into the rifles chamber .

Charging out from the hall with a dark bag, Argent hurries for the front door a voice catching his attention . "What's going on?" Allison asked curiously, still half asleep as she looks down from the second floor stairs.
"Your aunt, Kate, just texted. I'm heading out to pick her up." Argent informed her . "It's two in the morning. Everything okay?" Allison asked . "Yeah. She's just having a little car trouble." Argent said quickly trying to get out the door . "Not serious, is it?" Allison asked worriedly . "No. Just a flat tire." He answers her .
"Go back to bed sweetheart, check on your sister before you do please" argent told as Allison nodded still half asleep before going to bed and checking up on Katrina .

Derek Moving at break neck speed behind a series of industrial buildings. Hugging corners. Jumping atop a large dumpster. Then up onto.. rooftop Derek, in human form and the source of the blood, kneels down to inspect Blood in the loose gravel. Movement catches his eye--
A dark silhouette just ahead. The Alpha pauses to turn its Red Eye's toward Derek. But only for a moment. The black shape spins and charges off
