Last Shot (Jacob Black) [3] COMPLETE

34. Sight for Sore Eyes

~Jazmine~

"Seems like a couple of berserkers, a set of claws, and those arrows laced with mercury is all you could come up with. Not very creative."

"It's better than what you have." Megan jibes. I race and eyebrow before looking over my shoulder and making my eyes change to green, humming a slight tune. Around the corner comes a man, engulfed in bright green and red flames, his eyes orange and teal. I turn back around and smile at my mother.

"I said there was never a hellhound in your plan, I never said it didn't exist." I say. Her eyes narrow before she shifts, her eyes bright gold, fangs and claws, her ears sharpen to a point and she grows sideburns. She roars and I roar back, along with the hellhound. The berserkers run toward me and I tear their heads off effortlessly. I look over at the hellhound and nod. I run at Megan and she meets me in the air. I swipe my claws at her and cut her side open. She cuts my stomach and I knee her in the face before flipping her over my shoulder and pinning her arms behind her back. I slam her into the wall then she pushes me back. I land on the cement with a thud and a groan. I get back on my feet and kick her in the side of the head before slash I her chest open. She claws a hole in my arm and I growl before wrapping my hands around her throat and pinning her to the wall. "You murdered my family." I growl.

"I am your family." She struggles to growl back.

"Now I'm going to kill you too." I slam her head against the wall two times and the light in her eyes fades. I go to do it a third time and something pierces through my skin from behind causing me to lose my hold. She pushes me back and and hits me a few times before ripping the arrow from my back. I fall to my knees and she kicks me, sending me onto my stomach.

"Look at you now, Brooke, laying on the ground and dying. Helpless and weak." She tsks her tongue a few times. "To think you'd learn by now." She steps on my back over the wound making me grimace. I'm already as good as gone. I hear her laugh. "Now you can die just like the others."

"Jazmine, howl. I know it hurts, but you have to howl."

I make my eyes glow again, flick my head back, and let out a long howl. My head spins and she chuckles.

"What did you want to accomplish with that sweetheart?" She mocks. "You're just killing yourself faster." I hear an arrow whiz and a struggled grunt before a thud beside me. I look over to see Megan laying beside me.

"You're lucky I was nearby." A hand finds mine and pulls me onto my feet.

"Well, aren't you just a sight for sore eyes?" I smirk, although pain is radiating through my body. She shot really close to my heart, I won't last long. I stomp against Megan's head, causing it to crush under my boot. I walk around the corner to find the hellhound gone and Danielle on the ground, burned and dead. "Just in case." I say before crushing her skull. "Come on, let's go. If I'm going to die, it sure as hell won't be in a fucking sewer."

I squeeze my eyes shut and bite down on my lip when the fire comes in contact with my skin. Honestly this doesn't hurt as bad as the mercury slowly moving toward my heart. I grip the arm of the couch, my hand breaking it as I finally gasp from the pain. Avery gently rubs my arm to comfort me. The flame gets hotter and I force back a scream.

"Keep her still!" Lydia orders. Sean places his hands on one of my shoulders and Avery moves her hands to the other. I feel my eyes start to glow as the flame continues to get hotter and hotter. I gasp again and the hands on my shoulders push slightly more. "Almost done." I choke back the scream as the flame burns inside my flesh. The flames withdraws, as well as the hands holding me still and I let out a breath. Lydia and Avery slowly help me sit up. Lydia hands me a small flask. "Drink it, it'll help with the pain." I chug the two shots worth of vodka and hand her the flask back. My eyes flutter and I slightly grimace. Lydia's phone buzzes and she looks at it. "Jake will be here in a few minutes." She says before rubbing my arm. I nod, my eyes fluttering again from exhaustion.

"She needs to rest, take her to her room." Matthew says.

"She can't walk, even with them helping her."Aniya, an old huntress from the Netherlands states. "She's far too weak."

"I'll carry her." Sean says. My eyes flutter slightly before I nod. Sean picks me up and carries me upstairs, Lydia following us. Sean gently puts me down on the bed and I lay on my side pulling blankets up over me, leaving my back exposed. "Get some rest, you heal faster in your sleep." He states. I nod slightly.

"Jake's pulling in now. Get some sleep, Jaz." Lydia says in a gentle voice. They leave the room as I close my eyes. I feel the bed dip down and force my eyes open.

"It's just me." Jake whispers. I smile slightly.

"Lay down with me." I mumble. He lays beside me and I rest my head on his chest. He gently rubs my lower back, lulling me to sleep.

"I love you Jazmine Brooke Argent." He says before kissing my head. A small, weary smile crawls upon my face as my eyes close.
