Bobby's Adopted Daughter

Chapter Six: One Last Hunt

It's an hour later when there's a knock on my door. I grab my holy water and silver knife checking who it is before I even go to open the door. When I look I see Rufus I open the door and splash him with the water.

"Really?" He asks

"I had to check dad didn't say what it was!" I defend myself before hugging him.

"Oh he didn't?"

I shake my head in response.

"How'd you get here first?" I ask him as I let him into the apartment. As he steps over the salt line I see Salem run into my bedroom.

"I was closer to you for a separate issue than your dad." He says as he slowly walks in and looks around.

"Oh," I nod "Did you take care of the ghoul that was nearby?"

"Ghoul?" He asks sounding very confused

"Yeah that's the only hunt I have heard of nearby..." I trail off as his eyes turn silver.

"Oh no I was having some fun nearby." It starts walking towards me.

I stay silent as the creature reaches me.

"Pretty necklace," It says reaching for my anti-position necklace. "Too bad it doesn't do anything against me."

The fake Rufus starts laughing. Before it grabs the charm and hisses.

"Oh, did I forget to mention it's silver?" I ask mockingly

His hand wraps around my neck lifting me up off the ground.

"You are messing with the wrong person!" This 'Rufus' growls at me. "I will make sure they will find your head!"

"Good" I get out before he squeezes tighter. "Luck" I say as I start struggling for air. My vision slowly going dark. I hear a bang before I fall to the ground.

I gasp for air waiting for my vision to finally come back completely. I look up and gasp as dad and Rufus are fighting the fake Rufus. I hurry to grab the silver knife dad dropped or my gun with silver bullets.

My back is turned when I suddenly hear a gunshot.

"Looking for this?" 'Rufus' asks

He goes to shoot at me when Rufus jumps on him knocking him to the ground. My gun falling from its hand. I jump towards it but dad beats me to it turning and shooting the fake Rufus in the head.

"Well that's a fun last hunt." Dad say looking towards me.

""Defiantly." I nod "But what do we do with the body?"

"We may have to wait till it's dark." Rufus speaks up

"Probably a good idea." I nod

"I'll get stuff from my truck for now." Dad tells us before walking away.

"Okay?" I ask "I'll make food."

"Please do," Rufus calls after me before I hear grumbling

I laugh shaking my head. It's been awhile since I've hunted a shapeshifter. I shake my head before I start pulling out what is needed for me to make dinner for all of us.

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

"Why does this thing way so damn much?" Dad asks from behind me.

"I don't know what you're complaining about I'm the one doing all of the heavy lifting." Rufus states

"Will you both stop we're almost there." I tell them before walking into the clearing. "Never mind we're here."

"Finally." They both say dropping the body and letting it fall to at their feet.

"I'm going this way for fire wood." Dad says pointing to the right.

"And I'll go this way." Rufus points the opposite direction. Before pointing at me "You stay here."

"I don't have a choice do I?" I ask them both only for them to shake their heads in return. "Alright then."

I sit on a tree stump a little ways away from the body and wait for Rufus and dad to finish grabbing wood for a fire.

A few minutes later I'm building a fire to grab for the body as dad and Rufus add to the pile every couple minutes.

After 30 minutes of building they pick up the body putting it on the wood before I throw a match on it. We sit and watch it burn for hours. At midnight we make it back to my place. I show them the extra rooms for them to sleep in before we all go to bed and crash.

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

The next day I make breakfast and tell them about the ghoul that's about two hours away before we say our goodbyes. I give them both hugs knowing it'll be awhile before I see either of them again.
