Chapter 33:
As we walked among the line of he forest we heard louder howls. I saw something move in the trees and heard growls from every bush. "Guys we need to go into town." Scar said looking into the forest at something. I heard the leaves move as if something was under them. Smoke appeared out of thin air as if there was something there. "Hunter!" I whispered and jumped a little and ran into the town. People stared at me with wide eyes and looked a bit disgusted. The others followed me and was stared at as well. "This town is so nice." Scar said SCARastically. Ha I'm a bit punny aren't I. "Well we do look like mad people with dirt, blood and crap all over us." Jett said a bit annoyed. "Ok we need to find where the market." Prince said looking around. "The market! Which one? The food market, people market or the clothes market?" A old lady said. "People I guess." Daryl said.
"Oh that monster of a place.... Three streets down to the right. You'll know it when you see it." She said and limped off. "Let's go it's already getting late!" Prince said and started running. We followed him quickly. People jumped and moved out of the way. Someone made me stop. The others kept running of course but I had to help. A little boy wearing rags was drinking water from his hands. The water was from a broken gutter above the building. A guard saw this and dragged him onto the streets. He cried out in pain as his legs started bleeding from the ground. I ran over to him and couldn't do anything but push the man away from the little boy. "What in gods name are you doing women!!" He yelled. Everyone around us weren't even paying attention. The little boy ran to me and hug me tightly. "Don't you dare hurt him!" I growled at the man. He stared at me coldly and pulled out his sword from his belt.
The boy hid behind me as I reached for mine. I pulled mine put ready for a fight. Then I realized somethings. 1 I don't remember getting a sword. 2 how am I going to fight a grown man who's had training. 3 I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIGHT GOOD WITH ONE!!! The boy ran to the nearest building and watched. The man lunged at me but I dodged and used both my arms to slam down the sword at him. He quickly moved and cut my arm. I started breathing heavy and tried to use the sword with one arm. I kept it close to me and used it was a extension of my arm. "You don't know how to fight with a sword do you kiddo." He mocked me and smirked. I watched him and dodged his attacks. I got it! I copied how he attacked and made hits cutting his leg , arm, and cheek. "Andy!" Scar yelled. I kept my attention to the guard. "Andy cattail..." The guard mumbled. He lunged again and his sword hit mind as I blocked his attack. I kicked him in his weak spot sending him down in pain. "Run!"
Scar, the boy, and I ran to the market where prince and the others were waiting. "Where the hell have you been!" Prince said raising his voice. I looked at the ground and turned my head a little. The little boy hugged my leg again. He was crying and his bleeding had stopped. "She was helping this little boy from a guard trying to sell him." Scar said defending me. "Mister." I heard the tiny voice say. Prince looked at the little boy... His gaze softened and you could tell his heart just broke from the sight of the poor baby boy. "It's my fault." He started. "No. It's not. Your just in a bad place right now." Prince said gently. The little boy looked at him with moon eyes. Beautiful innocent eyes. "Ok." He said. "What's your name?" Daryl asked kneeling down. "Um." The little boy still hadn't let go of my leg. He kept thinking... And thinking. "I don't remember." He said with the cutest voice. "We better get moving." Daryl said a bit awkwardly. "We will figure it out later. Come here." He said with open arms. The little boy looked up at me then prince. He let me go and slowly went to him.
Prince hugged him for a second then picked him up. He carried him inside with us. The little boy wrapped his small arms around princes neck. As we walked inside I noticed Jett staring at me. "What?" I questioned him. "Nothing." He said and walked past me. Rude little teen. Only 15 right? Little punk, I thought as a old person would say. The room was dark and people crowded a stage holding up money, shouting numbers and crap. It was like when I was sold to vampires. One person on a stool and someone yelling numbers next to them. I watched as they sold a little Curley blonde girl about 3 years old. "What do we do?" I asked prince. He handed be the boy. "Find the people who run this." He said. Daryl and Jett went off somewhere and scar was already gone. Prince looked at the stage again and ran up to it. I followed him. "Sir!" The man on stage yelled at prince. "Aren't you prince Wolfe?" He asked kneeling down. "No. I'm... Jackson William." He said.
"Well you look like a opposite version of him. Who wants this lovely lady?" He said standing up and pointing to another "to be sold". She walked out staring at the ground. Her black hair covered her face. As she came to the stool she looked at the ground with hate. Sophia... "100!" "150!"... Five min later. "550!" Prince yelled. "650!" Someone else yelled. "1000!" Prince yelled. "Going once...going twice...SOLD TO 1000 dollars!" He said. Sophia was pushed off the stage and to the stairs leading down. Prince held my hand and lead me to them. I held the little boy tightly to me and he buried his face in my neck. "Name?" A man asked prince. "Uh... Jackson William." He lied. "Ha how funny I'm William Jackson. That over there is my father. Rez William." He said... What kind of person is so open. Prince smiled and took Sophia from him. She hasn't noticed yet. "Give me your- hey get back here!" Prince started running pulling Sophia. She realized and started running to. I ran after them.
We made it out and the others were outside. "Let's go!" Prince said running. Catching on after a second we ran back to the part of the forest we came in. The man stopped and backed way from the trees with fear and ran back. We started slowing down to catch our breath. "No time for gossip girls we have to get moving it's already 7." Scar said before me and Sophia could say anything. We nodded and I put the boy down and held his tiny hand. "Now. About your name?" I asked he little boy as we were walking. "I don't remember... I think it started with a "B" sound." He said still thinking. "Bill? Billy? Bj? Becket?" I said listing off names. "Billy!" He said loudly. Everyone stopped moving as he sound echoed. A howl echoed through out the forest. Trees started shaking and the smell of smoke filled the air. "Hunters!" Scar said pulling out his sword. Jett and Daryl changed into their were wolf forms. A blue hunter appeared and knocked down Daryl and Jett. "Andy take Sophia and billy and hide!" Prince yelled over the howls. I nodded and ran.
We hide farther away from the action. I set billy down and turned to Sophia. "Watch him I'll be back." I said and before she could answer I ran back to the battle. ...Always getting yourself into trouble eh Andy?... Jett said. I stabbed a hunter in the chest sending it running deeper into the woods. I saw prince get hit into a tree. A cracking sound have me the chills. "Prince!" I yelled. Something hit me pushing me to the ground. A orange hunters tail slashed around. Daryl was pinned down as Jett cut into it's back with his claws. Scar was helping prince back to Sophia and billy. So it was just me, Daryl and Jett. I got up and ran over to them but was pulled back by my feet. The orange hunter pulled me by its tail to its mouth. It's long teeth filled it large mouth and I pulled out my sword and slashed deep wounds onto and in its mouth. It dropped me on my head and ran off. Leaving the blue hunter with Daryl and Jett.
Daryl had a gash on his head and was bleeding badly. "Go!" Jett growled at him ripped out the back of the hunter. "No! I can't leave you! Your my alpha I can't-" the hunter threw Daryl and flipped onto it's back crushing Jett. I tried to get up but I was too dizzy. Daryl was trying to crawl back but scar pulled him away. Another hunter came in. This one was black with gold eyes. "No way." Scar said looking at the larger than life beast. It was much larger than the others by 10 times. It Roared like a lion but louder in scar face. Scar was motionless staring at the hunter. It hit him back to the others and turned to Jett. The blue hunter limped away. The black one stabbed Jett in the arm with its claw. He cried out and tried to move. The hunter bent it's large head down and grabbed him with its mouth... Sending long sharp teeth into Jett. "No!" I yelled and tried to get up but everything was still fuzzy and moved around. ...I failed... I said to Jett. "It's not.... your ....fault." He said as his blood dripped out of its mouth. The black beast spread it's wings and flew out of the woods and into the sky.
Prince POV
"No Jett!" Daryl yelled. He broke down on the ground. "I shouldn't have left him! Scar you should-" scar stopped him. "And what get you killed too! I'm sorry Daryl but he's gone. There's nothing we can do to change that." Scar said and slowly stood up. "Daryl!" Someone yelled and ran to him hugging the poor man. "Felix... Jett's-" Felix quieted him down. "I know... I could feel it." He whimpered. Gage saw me lying on the dirt and helped me up. "Where's Andy?" He asked me and helped me stand. "Over here!" She groaned. "You ok?" Gage asked me as we limped over to her. "Just my back hurts like hell." I forced a small laugh. As we approached Andy I saw that she was crying. I fell from Gage's grip and crawled to her. "It's ok sweetie." I said holding her. She cried more and couldn't speak. "She was suppose to protect him!" Felix said holding Daryl. He explained to me the whole thing. "It's not her fault!" I growled at him. "No it is." She whimpered. "I failed him.."
