Spirit Seeker

Chapter 8

"Spaze!" I heard Zero's voice cry once the warm air hit my face. Carlos carried me in his arms. Tom had healed almost instantly.

"I don't get why you haven't healed, when did you first shift?" Tom asked. My head lay on Carlos' shoulder, 

"A few days ago, should I heal as fast as you?" I asked.

"That doesn't matter what happened I heard you howl!?" Zero yelled, I guessed he was in front of Carlos because he stopped moving. The pain overwhelming, I didn't answer.

"Tom and Spaze got shot, but only Tom healed." Carlos said calmly, "Now get out of my way so I can bandage her up."

Zero didn't move. "No, she's my friend, I'll do it." 

"Do you even know how to bandage a wolf?" Tom shot back.

"Just let him, h-help." I whispered. I could feel my blood running down my clothes. "Can you get me my clothes Zero?" I asked softly. Not knowing his answer I closed my eyes. Suddenly we were moving up some stairs. 

"It's okay, Spaze. I should have paid more attention and it would have been me that got shot, not you." Carlos said.

"No, it's fine, the pain is bearable" I lied. "Because if you got shot I wouldn't be carrying your butt up the stairs"

"You wouldn't have too" 

"Oh yeah forgot about that." A door opened and something soft touched my back. 

"Now lay straight, just don't kill yourself even more." Carlos said and left the room. A few minutes later Carlos came back arguing about something with a new voice. 

"Well we are wasting supplies." The voice said.

"No we aren't she's one of us, Kyle." Carlos's voice growled.

"But she's not in our pack, some of the boys agree with me even" The boy fired back. 

"Well then leave if that's what you want, Kyle. I don't care I'm helping her." Carlos snarled deeply. Footsteps left the room and softer ones came in. 

"I got Spaze's bag from the stables." Zero's voice said.

I went to move but stopped after the pain worsened. 

We should have healed by now, what's wrong? My wolf asked.

Maybe it's what the bullets made out of? What are you, I mean we, weak to? I replied, the pain flared through me as someone pulled my shirt up just above the bullet. I gritted my teeth.

Wolfsbane. She replied

Okay. 

"Does the bullet have Wolfsbane?" I asked as I forced my eyes open. Carlos nodded.  "That's why I can't heal, the Wolfsbane" I said.

"Okay I will just rinse the wound out after I get the bullet out of the way." he replied. 

After Carlos got the bullet out, and Zero fainted, he started rinsing the blood away and I stopped feeling the pain.

"Your healed," Carlos said with a smile. I got up and went to  my clothes.

I picked out a clean pair of leggings and shirt this time a dark blue. My teal shirt was ripped, torn, bloody and cold.

"Now tale Zero and get out  I need to change." I said swaying my hands to shoo him out. Carlos picked Zero up and out the door he went.

I first took out my weapons, from  my boots then stripped and put on the new clothes. After I was done I replaced the knives and my sword strapped to my back. I had found Vorpal in my dad's closet when I was 7. A tear slipped down my cheek at the thought.

I wiped it away and went down stairs. Again two people arguing.

"Well I want the last chicken strip!" A wolf yelled.

"Toby, you got it last time!" Another said.

"Tonie, but you got it last time!" Toby shouted. I looked at the boys then the chicken strip in the bowl. I ran to it and popped it in my mouth.

"There, now nobody gets it" I said laughing at their surprised faces.

"Hey that was mine!" they both shouted. 

"No it's my stomach's now." I said in a British accent. We all laughed.

"Okay fine, next time we race for it though." Tonie said glaring at his twin.

I rolled my eyes and went to sit on the couch by Zero when their was a knock on the door. One of the boys went to get it.

"Oh hello Alex, people claim that there was a hurt girl carried into the house? I know it's silly but," He looked over Alex's red haired head and his eyes stopped on me. He didn't continue his sentence."Well looks like you got everything under control, good day." And he scurried off. Alex looked at me, 

"You know Mr. Brown?" Alex asked, "He seemed to know you from somewhere." 

"Yeah but I don't think he's..." I stopped as a thought slipped into my mind. "Wait, he looked like Yorland  Pown. Was that his name before he moved here?" I asked desperately. Zero just got into the room.

"Yes I think that was his name, but he changed it." The other boys nodded, Zero on the other hand was terribly confused.

"We have to go, now"  I said looking at Zero.

"Why?" he asked. 

"Because, that man is a killer for the Queen, and you know what the Queen does to people like me." I replied. His eyes widened, probably of the Resistance story I told him. "Go!" I shouted, making Alex jump. 

"Your all in danger now, you know about me. You have to move." I said to Alex. Carlos came into the room. 

"What's wrong Spaze?" he asked after he looked at me face.

"You have to leave" I said heading for the door, leaving the boys to explain.

I got Kaspara and Boomerang and was later joined by a load of boys. 

"We are coming with you," Alex said the other boys nodded.

"You might die," I saw Zero push his way past the Spirit Wolves. He mounted Kaspara.

"We know Zero told us, but we don't care, the Queen will be looking for us anyways, may as well have each others backs." Carlos said.

I huffed, "Fine, does everyone shift?" I asked.
