A Wolves Cry

ch.21 Gunshots.

   She finds she has just finished changing and laying in bed. When Derik's truck can be heard pulling up the drive way.

"Come quickly." he whispers, sneaking over to the basement door. She silently moves in behind him. Fine but only because it was your house first. She thinks before she looks around and closes the door behind her. Following him down the stairs. On the left of the door way on the outside of the cell is a table, book shelf and two chairs. "It's safe to talk here." He said playing eight the book shelf. She can tell his mad but it changes nothing, "Okay? You want to tell me what's going on?" She asks trying to be patient, pulling a chair out and sitting down in it.

"I would love to, but you where up stairs. And once there down at Mick's they'll be coming here." she sits back in the chair waiting for words, "Okay, well then. You can start by telling me, why?" Derik's arms drop, and one short breath later. "They're looking for something." She can't not ask, "They who?" she can tell his surprising his frustration. "I don't know, okay. Marifeild, Ogistin, the government people. And if you don't mind. I'm kinda looking for something here." he snaps back."Okay then tell me what your looking for, and Ill help." she stands and starts looking through the books. "No, just watch my six!" He barks with every pone intended. In defence her hands shote into the air,"Why are we even here?"
about 20 minutes later, she can can hear a branch brake on the edge of the clearing. She can hear five different sets of foot steps, "Derik?" she asks. Only to get a hash,"Not now!" remark from him. "Derik?" she asks again in a whisper, standing from the chair and looking up to the ceiling. He stops and looks back at her,"What is it?" he asks quickly and quietly. "People, humans, I cant tell if people are good or bad by the way, they walk. But I can tell you there's five or so." He moves to the wall on the other side of the book case. And dose the one thing Hunter cant stand, "I'm sorry, Shy." he pulls a book and something moves behind her. He pushes her back and she falls smashing her head up against the concert floor. She can hear a loud BANG and what sounds like gunshots before things goes dark.

"Derik?" she whispers. she can see him in his favorite white v-neck, as always. Shes over come with a feeling of dread, before he says something to her."Don't hate everyone because of, Mick." when something pulls him away. She calls out but doesn't get anything.
