The Hunted: Book One In The Hunted Trilogy

Battle

     Hunters dove out of their seats dogging the monsters that charged at them. Giant wolves filled the room, as well as hissing vampires and screaming banshees. Hunters grouped with their hunting teams. Samantha, Ace, Marco, and Sally dogged werewolves shooting when they where able to. Janace, Eric, Peter, and Jack where shooting arrows at charging banshees. Johnny, and Anna chucked wood spike after wood spike at vampires hearts. Jacob, Lance, Lacy, and Kanye where sword fighting every monster as a dragon was no where near.

   A werewolf crashed threw the large glass window, that made up the whole back wall, and charged toward the village.

"GET TO THE VILLAGE!" Menark charged out the window after the escaped monsters. Every hunter followed closely behind Menark threw the shattered window. Screams erupted from the village. The hunters clamber onto horses that stood by the road. Galloping toward the village, Sally was afraid they wouldn'tt get to the village before more humans were either killed or bitten by the monsters she chased.

"Get into the homes," Menark cried to the large charging hoard, "get as many people to Sampsons as possible!"

The group got to the square to find many humans laying screaming in pain. Not being able to tell what had bit them, the hunters gently pulled the villagers out of the battle field. Werewolves spun around toward Sally and her fellow werewolf hunters. A wolf tackled the horse Sally rode. Pinned down by her horse, Sally lay on the hard rock road as a giant wolf pounces on top of her. Well trying to keep the wolf from biting her face, Sally saw all the hunters fighting and killing different monsters. Eric was lying on the ground, next to a banshee he had just slaughtered, leg in an unusual position.

'Probably broken,' Sally thought as she killed the werewolf that had tackled her. Right as she shoved the dead horse off her waist another wolf crushed into her side. A sharp jolt of pain coursed threw Sally as she was again slammed to the ground.

"NO!" Henrys voice shattered Sally's heart, "you said she wouldn't be harmed!"

Dragons broke threw the near by mountains. Dragon hunters prepared their dragon scale piercing arrows on each bow. Homes started to burn. Sally, still in shock, managed to kill the monster that was atop her. Anger surging threw her veins Sally killed at least ten more wolves before turning her gun on Henry. Backing Henry toward a wall, Sally saw vampires run back toward the wood as a slight horizon rose over the tree tops. Ashes blew with the wind as some vampires where roasted by the light.

"You betrayed us!" Sally shouted as a boom echoed from the roof of her house, a dead dragon had fallen upon it, "How could you?"

"They said they would turn me," Henry begged, "into a vampire!"

"Then you should have been one," tears poured down Sallys cheeks,

"now you have to die anyway!"

"Pleas," Henry, now literally on his knees, cried out, "pleas Sally, dont do this!"

"I have no choice I- ahhhh," a scream erupted from Sallys lips. The only live wolf in the square had clamped his jaws around Sallys leg, pulling her down, the monster ripped into Sallys side.

"Sally!" Janace picked up Sallys fallen pistol and killed the werewolf. Janace gently unclenched the monsters jaws from Sallys side, throwing the beast away from them.

"Are you ok?" Janace rushed to Sallys side.

"I dont know," Sally looked fearfully at her bloody side and hem of the golden dress.

"Menark," Ace shouted toward the old hunter, "you need to come quick, Sallys been bitten!"

"Let me see where it bite you," Menark fell beside Sally , "NOW!"

Sally pulled the hem of her dress up to her waist showing a bloody chunk of skin that was missing. She turned away from her leg to face Henry. Black already was starting to cloud Sallys vision.

"You did this," Sally screamed groggily,"I'm what I hate because of YOU!" then all went black.
