The Brooke Family

Fight

I woke up at five AM and got dressed in clothes made out of shifter fur.  So even if I shifted while wearing them they would stay be on my body when I became human again. 

Once I was dressed and had my thick blonde hair up in a pony tail I walked over to Carter's room.  I knocked on the door and he emerged fully dressed.  

"Are you ready?" I asked him.

He held up one finger and ran back into his room saying "let me grab some stuff for my spells."

I waited for a minute before he came out looking exactly the same as before.  I just shrugged and assumed he had used magic on it so I couldn't see what ever it was he had gotten. 

We waked over to the car and I drove as Carter worked some magic that would keep us protected.  I glanced at hi in the corner of my eye and held back the smile that threatened to show as I watched my silly mate.

When we reached the area where we would leave the car gestured at Carter to stay quiet.  He nodded and I shifted and began the trek to the witches cave.

When we finally stood in front of the cave Carter motioned that he would go first.  I nodded and he barged in his hands holding balls of flame. 

I rushed in after him to see he was in a fire fight against two of the witches.  I knew he could take care of him self but I still kept one eye on him.  As The witches fought off Carter the other two approached me.

 I ran as fast as I could and launched my self at the throat of one witch.  I got lucky and she was taken by surprise but I knew the other witches wouldn't go down that easy.

When I brought down the first witch the one left not fighting Carter screamed out her name "Loreena"

Two daggers that glowed a neon blue appeared in her hand as I shifted back in to my human form.  The witch tossed her self after me slicing with her daggers.  I moved out of the way and snuck behind the witch and heard as Carter killed one of the others.

She sensed me and turned while stabbing out with her dagger.  It sliced my right arm just lightly grazing it but I could already feel the poison entering my blood stream.  I growled in frustration and shifted again. 

Now that I was in wolf form the poison would take longer to reach my central nervous system and shut down my body. Glaring at the witch I feigned left then threw myself right and snapped at her stomach.  I pulled out her heart and stomped on it to make sure she died.

Then I looked over at Carter and saw that his left over witch was missing an arm and that he had a gash on his face.  When I saw the gash a ferocious snarl came from my throat and I charged at the witch.  She was distracted by my attack and Carter threw a spell at her that disintegrated her. 

I shifted back into a human and stumbled over to the blue daggers that were slowly fading away into normal colors. 

"Are you okay?" Carter asked as I tripped.  He began to walk over to me.

I picked up the daggers and said "Yeah I'm fine. I think I'm keep these." As I slipped them into my belt I collapsed and the world went dark.

*I was going to end this chapter here but I decided to be nice and keep on going*

When I woke up again it was in my hotel room. I looked around and eyes fell on Carter's sleeping form in the chair next to the bed. 

"Carter" I Croaked.

He shot up in his chair and looked over at me.

"Thank god your all right I had to clear the poison out of your system we've been here about a day you woke up fairly quickly most people don't heal from that for three days."  He babbled.

I sat up in my bed and said "Carter, Your babbling."

"Oh Sorry" He said. "I was just worried about you."

I smiled and reached over to take his hand. "Thank you."

With those words I stretched upwards to place a gentle kiss on his lips.  He kissed me back before he pulled away eyes wide.

"You have a mate." He told me.

"Your an idiot Carter!"  I laughed. "Your my mate"

"Oh" he said before leaning back down to kiss me.
