Wolves of War Book 3: A War Fought Together

3x03: Fireflies

Derek and I are currently at the Preserve, Scott, Derek and I are all out looking for Boyd and Cora. Derek is currently on the phone with Scotty. I listen to the conversation.

"You lost them?" Derek asks Scott

"Yeah, I kind of had to."

"Wasn't exactly the plan."

"I know, which is why I think that we should stick together. Trust me, he's too strong, too fast, and way too angry for one person to handle. We've got to do this together."

"Look, we're at the trails by the entrance to the preserve. Can you meet us here?"

"Yeah. Just got to drop something off first."

............................................................

Scott meets up with Derek and I and we all go to find Boyd and Cora. Derek and Scott jump through a giant tree while I duck under one of the huge branches.

"Is it them?" Scott asks Derek as he looks at the footprint on the ground.

"We're not the only ones that decided to stick together," Derek says

"Is that gonna make it easier or harder to catch them?" I ask

"I don't know."

"Derek..." Scott says earning Derek's attention "I saw Boyd try to rip two little kids apart. Are they gonna do that to everyone they find?"

"Everyone and anyone," Derek says and begins to walk away. I sigh and follow after him.

............................................................

So we called for reinforcements AKA Isaac, I follow Cora's trail and see her get up from the ground and throw Isaac into a tree. That's gotta hurt. Scott shows up and jumps over Isaac and kicks Cora, they fall to the ground. I half shift, and growl at her, Derek shows up and Cora growls at him. Derek growls back and Cora takes off. Derek, Isaac and I run after her but we end up losing her.

We stop by a tree and Scott get a call from Stiles, apparently, Lydia found a body. I listen in on the conversation as I stand next to Derek on his right side, Isaac on his left.

"Are you sure?" Scott asks Stiles

"Yep. Throat ripped out, blood everywhere. It's like the frickin' Shining over here. Two little twin girls come out of the woods, start asking me to play with them forever and ever, I'm not gonna be surprised."

I hold in a laugh at the last comment.

"Can you get a little closer to make sure it was them?"

"Make sure it was them? Scott, who else is going around ripping throats out?"

"Please just do it."

"This doesn't make any sense," Derek says as I rub his shoulder.

"He's right, it makes no sense," I say, agreeing with my mate "The public pool is all the way on the other side of the woods. We haven't tracked them anywhere near there."

"Guys, they killed someone," Scott says

"How are they moving so fast?" Derek asks

"Derek."

"They can be that fast on foot"

"They killed someone. Some totally innocent kid is dead... And it's our fault."
