The Hunted: Book One In The Hunted Trilogy

Final fight

Eric woke up three weeks later, the day before the full moon. His leg felt stiff and unusable. He slowly opened his eyes gently rubbing the crust from them.

"Oh thank heavens," Sally said, "I thought i lost you!"

"You, or anyone else, will have to try a lot harder then that to get rid of me!" Eric chuckled to himself and Sally smiled.

"Domonic," Sally called, "Eric meet the only son of Jonah and Nicole Johnson. With his dieing breaths Jonah asked me to raise him."

"Hi daddy Eric!" the small boy had dark hair like his father and small dimples formed whenever the boy smiled. Domonic ran back to his toys as Sally spoke to Eric.

"You ready for your first full moon?" Sally asked.

"As ready as you were!"

"Not even close! You asked for this I was an accident!"

A knock sounded at the door. Sally stood and opened the door a smile lit up her face as her parents entered.

"Hey Sally belly," Suzan hugged her daughter, "You ready for tonight?"

"First night as Alpha," Sally breathed and hugged her dad, "Scary!"

"As scary as being on death row?" Johnathan tried joking.

"Not even close," Sally flinched, "And not quite yet with the death row jokes OK?"

"Okay," Johnathan nodded.

"You be good Dony," Sally said to Domonic as Sally, Eric, and her went to the door, "Grampa is here to watch you so you behave."

"Yes mama!" Domonic smiled and yapped his arms around Sally, Eric, and Suzan in turn. They walked, more like ran, to the fountain where the pack was already standing.

"Sorry I'm late," Sally climbed onto the fountain, "Had to get Domonic taken care of."

"Alpha," an older man stood out in the crowd.

"I've told you to call me Sally," Sally said, "What is it?"

"What the plan tonight?"

"We are attacking the school its-self, Jonah wanted Sampson gone so I will honor his dieing wish!"

"Attack the school," Eric yelled making every eye turn to him, "Sally, not only do they out number us, our friends and classmates are in there!"

"I know Eric!" Sallys face was pained showing how much it hurt her to attack the place she knew so many in, "but they have killed, tortured, and tortured to DEATH our pack! So, we attack tonight!"

* * *

The pack stood at the edge of the forest glaring, snarling, and snapping at the school. Both Sally and Erics stomachs turned and they felt sick but had to shove the feeling down. Suzan stood next to Sally waiting for the order to move.

"Remember," Sally ordered, "bite or disable! Do NOT kill! Sampsons the priority! MOVE OUT!"

The pack charged the school and broke threw the doors, even though they were inch thick ebony, and charged the halls. Sally turned down each hall trying to push back memories of her time here well she searched for Sampson. Sally passed the occasional student either cowering in the corner or crying out in pain sobbing into the blood that stained thier leg. Sally wanted to stop and help them, each student she saw made her sick and angry but then the memory of Mandys screams would come and she would charge even faster toward the headmasters office.

Eric arrived beside her followed by Suzan and the three rammed into the door slamming it to the ground. Sampson glared down at Sally, even though Sally was seven feet tall, with an evil grin.

"So," Sampson sneered, "you think you can challenge me! The son of Jackaby Sampson! That's right you were wrong Sally! I'm Jack the baby in my wagon!"

"I don't care who you are!" Sally growled, "you'll pay for the murders you committed!"

"What about the ones you committed Sally!?" Sampson growled as he shifted. He stood at 8 feet from head to toe. His hind paws looked like misshaped human feet with wolf like claws. He had a human torsos that was covered with wolf hair. His arms were almost human but long claws deformed them.

Sally growled and went for Sampsons throat. Sampson threw his paw at Sally and Sally dodged the bating paw easily. She went for the weak point on Sampsons ankles. Sampson grabed her hind leg and threw her into his desk smashing the desk to pieces.

"SALLY!" Eric yelled and went for Sampson. Eric sunk his teeth into Sampsons shoulder. Sampson yelled right as Ace and Janace came in.

"Samp-" Ace froze, "No! Sally was right!"

"Your secrets out!" Sally growled and again aimed at Sampson. Sampson threw Sally into the wall behind her. Sally yelp brought another young werewolf into the room. The werewolf growled at Janace and Ace, pouncing toward them.

"NO RICKY!" Eric yelled but he was to late. Janaces scream as Rickys teeth sunk in brought Sallys attention from Sampson for just a second but that second was all Sampson needed to gain the advantage. Sally fell to the ground as Sampson pulled a fine needle from the floor with his giant paw.

"No!" Eric cried out, "Don't do this! Please!"

"A little to late for please don't you think?" and Sampson hit the needle to Sallys neck and pressed in down making silver flow threw Sallys veins. With an evil grin Sampson disappeared.
