Full Circle (Book 8 in Arrow/Spn Crossover)

Put One Foot in Front of the Other

I ignored the vamp screams as Oliver and the rest took care of them. Coyote was still lying on her side, I could feel the burning pain from the tears in her side. Bits of rib were showing in the gashes, Mairyn had dug deep.

"Hold on sweetheart, hold on." Her eyes were closed tight, she was panting. I knew she'd heal but it didn't mean that it didn't hurt like hell. I put my hand on her head and watched as the bleeding slowed down. Sam and I stayed with her until the gashes had completely stopped bleeding and her eyes opened back up. "Better?"

She nodded. Oliver came back just as the two wolves who's legs Sam and I had shredded to bits managed to get back on their feet. Coyote rolled onto her stomach so she could look at them, then her bones started cracking and shifting.

When her shifting finished she sat up, pulled her hair in front so she was somewhat covered and looked at Oliver. "Any more vamps?"

Oliver looked away but shook his head. I was pretty sure he was keeping from looking at her more out of respect for the fact that she wasn't dressed than any dominance thing. I may have been okay standing in the woods with no clothes on but seeing Coyote naked around strangers wasn't sitting all that well with me. I didn't care so much about Oliver, Roy or Sam, I knew them, it was the other four that bugged me.

"Um honey..."

"Babe, get over it," she snapped, "Everyone here's an adult and I'm tired of wearing fur. I need to be human again, need to think this through. You four," she pointed at the new wolves, "lose the fur. I want to see your faces."

They did as she asked, I didn't recognize any of them but Sam did. "Tom and JJ," he said as he pointed them out. "I don't know the other two."

Tom was a tall pretty built guy with red hair, JJ was a short Asian woman with short hair she'd dyed blue. The other two were guys, one was Mexican with long black hair and a short, blonde white guy. We all kept our eyes fixed on each other's faces. Yeah, this wasn't awkward in the least.

"Carlos and Paul," Carlos said. "We're just started hunting a few years ago. Hadn't really met a lot of other hunters. Guess we should keep clear of them now."

"Sam and Dean Winchester," Sam said, "Running Coyote, Dean's fiance, the black wolf is a friend and the other one is a guy named Roy. Fill us in on what happened here."

Carlos nodded and gave us basically the same story that Audun had, except for the Purgatory part. Mairyn had jumped them, killed them, they managed to make it back. He added some more details though. Gordon had been working from the fringes of the hunter world to the center trying to get as much intel on Sam and I as he could without letting us know he was back among the living. He'd killed a slew of hunters along the way, it seemed that once he got what he needed he'd fed off them and dumped the bodies.

I kind of wished I hadn't burned his bones so I could bring him back and kill him a lot slower this time.

They confirmed that there were thirty five monsters backing Mairyn and volunteered to give us all the details on where they were. The four of them had seen Mariyn turn other hunters but if they came back too strong she killed them before they could become a threat. The four of them had been wolves for over a year.

"How did you escape getting killed by her?" Carlos asked after telling their story.

"We got lucky, all of us came back at once," I answered, "Long story and not that important. We have a group of human hunters waiting for us to give them a heads up. Tell us where these monsters are, we'll let them handle that part. Then we need to figure out what to do with you guys. I know a few werewolves, the usual kind, that have managed to deal with their wolf side for a few years. We can hook you up with them and you can give it a shot. None of you are super dominant but from what we've been told if you live somewhere away from things trying to kill you, you may have a chance. Quit hunting, go live out in the middle of nowhere, try it. If you can't pull it off, call us, we'll take care of it."
