A Phsycopath's Love

Chapter 22

Kathryn's POV

I tried to sound tough, though it was very difficult with my wound, as I talked to Shadow. "What do you want with me?" I demanded. I could already tell that the wound on my leg was going to leave a scar based on the amount of blood that I'd already lost. Shadow chuckled a bit before shifting back into his human form. "Why so hostile my dear? I only wanted to meet my mate in person." Mate? Wait a second... I've heard that term before.

"Hey Kathryn?" I turned towards Carleton and noticed that he seemed very serious. We had been walking around in the forest for a while now. Robert had shifted into his wolf form , and ran off to go hunt so we were waiting for him. "Kathryn, you know how mom and dad gave you 'the talk'?" He asked. I was immediately confused about why he asked that but nodded. "There's... something else about that subject that you need to know. It has to do with werewolves." Ok now I was confused. Werewolves? What does that have to do with anything? However I still was curious and he's my brother so I guess he knows what he's talking about.

Carleton and the wolf growled at each other while they got in attack positions. The wolf launched at Carl/Red but he dodged it and bit into the wolf's shoulder causing blood to flow out of the wound. As the blood pooled out Red used his power and the blood literally turned itself into a weapon that penetrated the wolf's heart, killing it. That was the first time i ever saw Carl or Red kill something and as he did it, red markings appeared on his body. They were blood red markings.

End of flashback

I managed to pull myself up and Emma ran up to me from wherever she had been. She helped me walk back to the house, leaving Damon to fight Shadow. I had no doubt that Damon would lose though. Against a demon wolf, a regular demon was weak. Emma helped me walk into my room and helped wrap up my leg. "Emma, tell the girls to retreat. We are only going to lose that fight if we stay out there. If we can make it into the caves I know a route that will take us to a backup house." Emma nodded and left. I felt so helpless. with my leg like this can't do anything. I bet that's why Shadow hit me there.

I sat up on my bed and continued to tend to my leg. Suddenly I felt a presence in my room and two arms wrapped around my waist pulling me into a male's chest. I almost freaked out until I recognised the scent as Carleton. I relaxed. "I'm sorry me and Rob couldn't come sooner. We had gotten separated." I nodded and turned so that I could hug him back. "I'm just glad you're here. I don't want to be alone right now." I said as a few tears ran down my face. We both pulled back from the sibling hug and Carl helped me finish fixing up my leg. "Raaaaawr!" I heard a somewhat robotic howling mixed with screeching sound. I limped over to my window and saw Robert in his robot wolf form fighting with a few of Shadow's soldiers to cover the girls' retreat. "I need to go help Robert. Don't worry about us. We're immortal basically so those soldiers can't kill us." Carleton said as he shifted into his wolf form and ran out of my bedroom running past Emma on his way.

Once all of the girls were accounted for I had Emma help me open up the way to the caves. I grabbed my notebook containing all of my info on the CPs and everyone else. It also had a full map of the caves in it so that Emma could navigate in case of emergency. I handed the notebook to Emma and had her help me down the stairs. We began to walk but neither Fang, Stalker, or I could shake off the feeling that something horrible was going to happen.
