Rogue

Road Trip

The SUV pulled up to the garage a young teen come out. “Hay Mr just stay in the car, I will fill it up.”

As he walked towards the pump smiling Jay flicked the switch for the fuel cap to be released. Jay laughed at himself thinking about the stereo type all measles no brains. This lad must pump iron.

Jay got out the SUV to stretch of his legs from the last drive. The young man ignored him and carried on filling up the vehicle.

Then there was a female scream that came from the garage shop.

The boy didn’t look to impressed. As the Jay sprinted in to the garage shop. Seeing a blond girl lay on the floor her work uniform was ripped. This young man stood over her he had blood on his hands and looked like he was going to strike her again.

“Am taking what mine.” He sort of growled at her.

Jay grabbed him and pushed him to the floor, just as he turned around not quite expecting this new comer. As he was focused on the shop assistant.

“Phone the police.” Yelled Jay at the blond sales girl, but she seemed in shock or just non responsive.

The young man was much stronger then, Jay guessed as he swung out from the arm lock. Getting up fast on his feet.

Jay kicked at his opponents legs, but the young man didn’t register the pain. Throwing a punch at Jay, who blocked it and stepped in whacking his elbow into the young man face which dropped his foe to the ground. 

The sound of the door opening made Jay turn as a large dog leaped at him. Jay used his arm to block his face from being ripped off. The teeth crushed on to Jays arm as the jaws where fixed as they tumbled to the ground.

Jay got the advantage was on the large dogs body slamming his knee down on the rib cage using his other hand grabbed the dogs ball bag. The young man who Jay attacked first was getting his feet smiling.

It all happened in a slit second; the young man seemed to change in front of Jay. Bang of a shoot gun being fired as the cartridge was ejected. Time seemed to slow down. The large dog let go as the pain was too much, for it to bear. Jay pulled as the dog seemed to be changing ripping the sex life off. 

“Get back” said the blond as she fired the shoot gun on to the crippled young man head as he lay on the floor.

She lowered the shoot gun at the stranger. “Your coming with me, his dad the Alpha. The sheriff for crying out loud.” 

Jay cut her off “But, I didn’t do anything.” Lowering his stance and being non threatening towards the blond holding the shoot gun.

“If you want to live, we better go.” She was intimidating waving the shoot gun around, Jay applied pressure to his arm to slow down the bleeding.

“Look I will explain it all in your car.” She grabbed her back pack and slipped it on her shoulder and the shoot gun was in the other hand.

Jay left the garage shop she followed, still pointing the shoot gun towards him “Get in and pass me the keys.” 

“Slowly.” She was checking out the strangers reaction. As he handed her the keys.

“Thank you. Here put my bag in the back and going to buy us time.” Jay grabbed her pack and tossed it on the back seat. She was already back in the garage shop. Jay cursed all he need was so wacko for being the knight in shining armour. His arm was aching from the dog, then the reality started kicking in the dog had changed into a person.

She had another pack full of equipment which she had robbed from the shop and a tin that had some holes in then she turned on the pumps. Different types of fuel started to spray out from the pumps. She tossed in the other pack in the rear then got in the car passed him the keys.

“Lets go.” She demanded

“No.” replied Jay looking at her straight in the eyes which where very light blue in colour. She wasn’t packing any fire arms.

Her hand touched his leg and claws started to come out. “I hope, I am making my point.”

“Yes” as he turned the key and started driving then a less 30 seconds the shop went up in flames.

In the rear view mirror the gas station was burning. 

“Turn left then up a dirt track stop when you get to a small creek then stop.”

“Ok” driving with one arm on the wheel, thank the heavens they most cars in the US of A are automatic thought Glen to himself.

“Pass me your arm that got bite.” she ripped of the material. “Keep your eyes on the road I don’t want you to freaking out on me.”

Jay wanted to look, he could feel her tongue licking the wound, her face was distorted and animal like.  A 45 minute drive was in silence. The SUV stopped by the creek. The wound felt better, it was healing.

“Out.”

“Why are you doing this.” Inquired Jay trying to understand this creature like girl he faced.

“To save us both, believe me.” She replied

“How is it saving us.” Jay was pushing for more information from her.

“Your going for a swim as I burn your clothes to remove traces of my former pack members that are all over you.”

Jay just looked at her, as thou she was talking a different language.

“Hi am Kate and am a werewolf.”
