The Protector

Hunt

"Hunting isn't just something I do it's part of who I am." -Unknown

Hunt. The hunt keeps you sane. The hunt can free your soul. The hunt can keep you from being like anybody else. The hunt protects you from yourself.

Chapter II: Hunt

I sigh, hugging my mother tightly as she cried. I rub her back and she sniffles. She lets me go and smiles at me. Today was the day I was finally leaving to go to the cabin. After summer ends, I will be going on a plane to go somewhere else. My mom knew that she wasn't going to see me for a very long time. She sniffles and I give her a small smile. 

"I'm gonna be okay mother." I tell her and she shakes her head, trying to get rid of the tears forming in her eyes. She sniffles, pulling me into her arms once again.  I rub her back as she cried on my shoulder. It wasn't very hard for me to leave, I have always wanted to leave. It was my dream to get out of this little cottage and go around the world. 

"I know you will be. I am just going to miss you that's all." She whispers, I give her a kiss on the head. "I love you my little butterfly." That was her nickname for me and it has been since I was really young. I was obsessed with butterflies and I caught them all the time so she began to call me that.

"I love you too mother." I say and back up, grabbing my bags from the ground. I walk over to the back of my truck, throwing my stuff into the bed. I wave to my mother before getting into the driver's seat. I can't wait until I get to the cabin. I watch my mother as I drive away. I turn onto the highway and begin to the long drive to the cabin. I wonder if there will be wolves there this time. I change lanes. There will also be enough animals to sink my teeth into after getting revenge on Melina. I turn on the radio.

"Malina Benson was found dead this morning, mauled by a wolf. We found traces of another girl's blood at the scene. There might be another victim." The Newscaster says before I change it to music. Really Luna, who's blood is it.

"Yours." She tells me and I sigh in annoyance. Why did she have to put my blood at the scene? Mother will start freaking out. I will have to make fake injuries when I get back. Damn it. I turn into the long driveway towards my cabin.  It was a larger cabin with two floors and many windows. I stop the car and turn it off. Finally some peace and quiet along with hunting. I grab my stuff along with my bow. I hold them easily seeing as I also have enhanced strength, I never really understood why I had enhanced anything. I sigh walking up to the door, when I hear a stick break. I drop everything and look towards the sound, my claws began growing along with my hair. Suddenly, a wolf pops out from behind the bush. It was more of pup, a grey pup. I slowly let myself go back to normal as it begins to pad towards me. 

"Hello there where is your mother?" I mutter and the pup runs towards the forest again. I follow it towards a clearing where a she wolf sat with blood coming out of her. I gasp, running towards her. At first she growls but I ignore it. She was shot, I can fix it. 

"This is going to hurt okay? I'm sorry for what I am about to do." I tell her and she stares at me before giving me a nod. I smile nicely before grabbing my knife from my back pocket. It was a small blade but it would do. 

"I have to get the bullet out." I mutter and her whole body tenses. I go to where the blood is coming from and dug into her fur. She howls in pain and the pup rubs against her. I give her a sorrow look before continuing. All I have to do is get it out and then sew it back up. I stop once I feel the bullet. I dig under it and she howls again in pain. I pull it out quickly and then grab out some of my in case of emergency needle and thread. I quickly sew it up, trying not to listen to her howls of pain. I tie it off and smile at her. 

"I'm done, but you have to keep it easy. No hunting, I will hunt for you. I promise." I tell her and she lets her head fall to the ground with a weird sigh. I smile at the pup as it rubs against me. I think I just made some friends. I put my hand onto the she wolf's belly, helping her to stand. She slowly walks behind me as I hold the pup in my hands. I walk over to my stuff in front of the cabin and put the pup down. This is going to be a long summer. I can't believe I just made friends with actual wolves. I smile lightly, opening the door letting her in. I grab the rest of my stuff and follow her in with the pup following me. 

"You can lay on the couch if you would like." I tell her and she pads over to the couch, getting onto it slowly. I smile lightly as the pup gets on the couch with her. I bring my stuff up the steps, towards my room. I put my stuff down and begin to put everything away. Now I should go hunt for some food for the she-wolf. It's close to night but I can manage. I change into all camo and grab my bow along with arrows. I walk down the steps towards the back door. 

"I will be back with some meat." I yell and I hear a yap. I smile, walking out of the cabin. I slowly tredge through the forest towards my tree fort. I climb up it quickly and here comes the slow arrival of a deer. The first thing I am doing after summer ends is going to Denver. I am moving there to work. I sigh but jump up seeing a deer. I pull back my bow and put it directly over the buck's lungs. I close my eyes before letting go. It hits the buck directly where I pointed. I smirk, jumping down from the tree. This will make for a perfect meal for the she wolf and her pup. I throw it onto my shoulder and walk towards my cabin once again. I think I will let her have all of it, I have other food here. I drop the buck in front of the couch and the she wolf licks her lips before pouncing.
