The Hunter: Book Two In The Hunted Trilogy

Chapter Eighteen

Domonic sat up from the place the hunters had left him in his cell. HEaring Ace howl like that made him worry about his pack and family. As he rose off the ground he flinched in pain, the silver slowly crawling up his arm. Johnathan motioned Domonic to try and get to the cell door hoping to comfort his grandson.

"Domonic," Johnathans voice was soft and comforting like it had been when Sally died, "Come here boy."

"Yes Grandfather?" Domonic approached his own bars as another wave of pain shot through his body causing him to collapse. Domonic gasped for air trying not to scream.

"Ace wants to save you," Johnathan rushed to his door and gripped the bars, "I heard him say so when I was a wolf."

"He can't," The protest from Domonic made his body cringe, "There's no cure for silver in werewolf blood!"

"Son!" Sally appeared making Johnathan jump back and Domonic yelp in fright, "sorry....and Hi dad. Domonic, there is a way to save you!"

"How mom?"

"The same way you didn't die last night! There's a spell that Sampson dropped. It saved mom, your grandma!"

"It....saved Her?" Domonics body became relaxed so did Johnathans, "She's ok."

"And you can be to-" Sally was interrupted by the appearance of Lilly witch. In the small girls hand she help an old yellowed piece of parchment. There was some kind of rune on the parchment that had been translated into Latin.

"I don't care what Ace said!" Lilly scowled, "Im healing him and all the other poor werewolves in this place!"

"Other werewolves are here?" Domonic asked, "How many?"

He didn't get his answer right away because a guard walked down the hall to Domonic cell and banged on the bars. Lilly and Sally turned invisible so the hunter wouldn't recognize them. Sally recognized him though. It was Lamace, the hunter who offered her a way of life without running or being killed. Sally had refused, which was a good thing because she would be Sampsons hound now otherwise.

"Would you die quietly!" Lamace shouted at Domonic who cringed, "not everyone wants to hear it!"

Lamace walked away so Sally and Lilly reappeared beside Domonic once again. Lilly made Domonic lay down and then sat beside him. She was sitting with her legs crossed and was floating two inches above the cell floor.

"Lilly," Domonic asked as he lay down, "how many other werewolves are there?"

"About twenty," Lilly replied, "Mostly pups. That's not including you three. They are all from Mt. Luna. The pack you ran into is not the actual pack for that town."

"Do it," Domonic lay flat, "We need to be quick!!"

"Ok," Lilly placed her two hands on Domonics stomach, "this may hurt."

Domonics back arched like someone had a sting attached and was pulling it. Though the amount of silver was less then Sally's Domonics skin began to turn a silver-gray color because it was left to kill him.

Lilly pulled at the silver slowly as it flowed the way it would if it were to kill him. Accidentally letting some leak onto Domonics back bone from his blood stream. Domonic howled in agony as Lilly had to pull on his spin to remove the silver.

"Domonic I'm so sorry!" Lilly pleaded for his forgiveness.

"Its ok Lilly," Domonic grunted, "It hurts less then Sampsons torture."
