The Hunted: Book One In The Hunted Trilogy

Escape

Mandys screams lasted well into the night. Sally basically locked herself away where no one could reach her. No matter how hard they tried not even Eric could convince Sally that this wasn't her fault or calm her down. Sharren was in the far corner across from Sally curled into a ball gently crying into her arms. A faint howl hit the room as moon light spread into the cell making Sally jump up.

"Jonah!" Sally yelled making the entire cell jump, "Mandys howls! He'll hear her!"

"Shift quickly and tell him to stay!" Sharren, also now on her feet, growled as she began shifting.

"Eric," Sally turned to Eric shaking, "go in there so we can brake the doors."

"Sally," Eric seemed stern, "Its the first full Moo-"

"You still want me to do that," Sally began shifting as the moon light hit her, "even though Sampson can make you hurt more!"

"I want to be as close to you as i can."

"Go in the corner, I'll be there in a sec!" Sallys voice shook as Eric walked away. Sally let the rest of the transformation take place the barked, "Jonah stay away!"

"Why?" Jonahs voice came from just inside the wood.

"We got caught!" Sally barked, "he's killing Mandy if you come he'll kill you!"

"No he wont!" Jonah growled at the thought of anyone of his pack being killed in the school, "your father came to us! We are sending someone to get you out!"

Sally flinched as Mandys screams got worse well Jonah sent his helper in.

"It's almost over Sally," Eric called from behind the blankets, "it gets worse as it reaches the heart!"

Sally began to howl and she heard the pack out in the wood join in. Sharron nuzzled Sallys fur, unable to speak or not knowing what to say, Sally didnt know.

"Eric wants to be one of us!" Sallys voice quivered.

"I know," Sharren spoke.

"Sharren," Sallys eyes filled with worry, "what if i kill him?"

"Don't even think that," Sharren growled, "besides, I'll be right here!"

Sally lumbered in shoulder after shoulder threw the blankets. Erics eyes weren't showing the fear he felt but only the nervousness that shook him.

"Don't be afraid," Eric whispered, making Sally think he was talking to himself and she whinnied, backing away, "It will be fine Sally! You can do it!"

"Of course he meant for me not to be scared," Sally scoffed, making Sharren laugh, "yet he's the one getting bitten by a giant wolf!"

"Go ahead," Erics voice shook as Sally pounced onto his leg. She held it down with both paws and looked at Eric. Fear rose in his eyes, the old hunter memories fogged his vision. Sally whinnied but nodded and took a long deep breath. As if going for the kill Sallys teeth pierced Erics leg. Erics back arched as his cry molded with Mandys last. Sally dropped Erics leg and saw he had gone pale but a smug look rest upon his face.

"Told you so!" Erics voice sounded weak.

"Sally," Johnathans voice called, "Jonah sent me to get you guys out of here!"

"I'll kill Jonah," Sally growled, "how dare he put my dad in danger like this!" Then she lay next to Eric who tried pulling himself on and turned to Sharren, "Help him please!"

Sharren pushed Eric on Sallys back and the girls headed toward the gate.

"Eric!" Johnathan gasped.

"I wanted it!" Eric breathed as Suzan put her self between Johnathans legs, "She wants you to hold on," Eric said to Johnathans confusion.

"You hold on to Eric," Johnathan said as the pack took off, him on Suzan, Eric on Sally, "for Sallys sake don't you dare die!"

"I'll be fine," Eric patted Sallys side weakly, "Sally did amazing, she didnt even pull any skin out!"

The pack charged threw hoards of screaming children, teachers, and parents as they left the halls of Sampsons. Hunters followed in hot persute behind the small portion of Sallys pack. Jonah jumped out of the woods as they neard and blocked the hunters path to the other werewolves.

"ALPHA!" Sally stopped and three-sixtyed to face Jonah.

"Get back Sally," Jonah growled, "Thats an orde-"

"JONAH!" Sally screamed as a hunters gun went off and her Alpha crumpled to the ground. Sharren took Eric off Sallys back giving Sally the ability to get to Jonah faster.

"I told you to go back," Jonah growled.

"Not with out my Alpha!" Sally growled.

"Go!" Jonah growled as hunters approched, "Raise Domonic, be Alpha tell he can. Dont you dare let the pack die trying to get me! Just go!

"Yes....Alpha," Sally turned and ran to Little wolf. no one questioned Sally since everyone heard Jonahs last plea. Sally lay Eric on the bed in thier home and started raising Domonic right away. As well as planning revenge for Jonah, Nicole and Mandy.
