Runaway (Jackie's Story)

Chapter 18

Aleera and I were playing around the pack house, yipping, snarling, growling, and barking loudly. My nose caught the scent of blood. And I wanted it. I looked at Aleera, [Now's our chance. There's prisoners. We can kill.] Aleera smirked, [Lets.] I shifted into Jackie's skin, but I still had all control over her. I saw Aleera do the same. Her hazel eyes shone with blood lust, and I knew mine were red. We walked down into the dungeon and I let my nails trail along the bars. I followed my nose and it led me to the last 3 stalls. I heard someone whisper, "Dalia?" And I turned to look at them.

Yasmin, Wesley, and Jaylin were all sitting in separate cells. I smirked, "Well, well, well look who we have here. A slut, a player, and an asshole. You guys look amazing behind bars." Jaylin was staring at my face, "Why are your eyes red?" I ignored him as I turned to Aleera, "Do you want to let them out and get a chase or quick and easy?" I could see the bloodlust in her eyes shine, "Chase." I licked my lips, "Excellent choice little sister." I walked back and forth, "Here are some rules because we're going to play cat and mouse with you guys. First of all, we give you a 10 second head start. If we catch you, you die. If we don't, you better hope we don't." Aleera smiled as she swung open the gates, "Run." Jaylin, Wesley, and Yasmin took off running while Aleera and I were left with the sweet scent of adrenaline, and the acidic scent of fear.

Aleera looked at me, "10 Mississippi." We ran outside, "READY OR NOT HERE WE COME!!!" We shifted and bounded into the forest looking for our prey. We split up and I was covering the West side. I focused my hearing and heard two hearts pounding and my nose picked up the scent of fear. I ran towards their hiding spot and out came Yasmin and Wesley. I sunk my fangs into Wesley's calf and he went down screaming. I shifted into human, "Any last words?" Wesley looked terrified, "F-Fuck you!" I smirked and bared my fangs, "Wrong words." I shifted into my wolf and tore his throat out. I heard a squeak and looked up. Yasmin was cowering against a tree.

I stalked towards her, my white fur taking on a red tinge from Wesley's blood. She growled a shaky growl telling me to stay away. I smirked and dipped my muzzle low and bared my fangs. She sucked in a breath and took off running. I leaped at her and took off chasing her not running at my full speed. I could hear her heart pounding and struggling to breathe. Then I smacked into a wall of fur.

I got pinned by a light grey wolf. I snapped at Marco, [Let me go! You're letting her get away!] I bit his neck and got up shaking out my fur. I dipped my muzzle low and snarled. He shifted into human, "Where's Dalia?!" I shifted into human, blood streaking over my body, "You mean Aleera." Marco's brow furrowed, "Aleera?" I smiled, my fangs pointed, "Yes Aleera. Her wolf. Jackie and Dalia aren't here at the moment. If you don't want to get accidentally killed, I suggest you go inside." He tilted his head to the side, "Crimson?" I let my eyes flash red, "Yes?" He stumbled back and ran to the pack house.

I turned my attention back to Yasmin who had ran away when I crashed into Marco. I yelled, "I'll find you!!!" I shifted into my wolf form and raced through the forest. I found her trying to climb the wall that separated the Nightshade kingdom and the Lazuli territory. I launched myself at her and she grabbed my fur and slammed me to the side. I shifted into human and went at her, claws out and ready for blood. I grabbed her hair and slammed her face into the ground. She turned on me and grabbed my waist, she dug her claws into my sides and I snarled. She threw me to the ground and got on me, I rolled us until I was on top. I punched her face and she grabbed my waist and rolled us so that I was straddling her hips and she dug her claws into my stomach. I screamed and launched myself at her, I pinned her with one arm, extended my claws on my other arm and smiled sweetly at her, "See you in hell, bitch." I drove my claws through her neck, severing her spine and I pulled my hand out.

I trotted back to the clearing where Aleera and I had split up and she had Marco pinned. I smirked and shifted to human, "You couldn't help yourself huh Marco. You had to go and find Aleera. That's not Dalia you know." He had his hands wrapped around Aleera's paws, "Crimson! help me!" I smirked, "I can't now. Aleera's given into the blood. You're screwed." He yelped as Aleera drove her claws into his shoulders, "Crimson!!!" My eyes flashed red and I shifted into my wolf form, biting into his skin. He was crying out in agony. Then I felt a sharp pain on my side, I turned snarling and came face to face with Quil's wolf. I tackled him and pinned him. He shifted into human form, "You won't hurt me." I shifted into my human form, snarling. I looked into his forest green eyes and saw love, the kind of love that you watch movies about and I stopped snarling. I looked over at Aleera and saw her about to kill Marco when I lunged myself at her. She screamed, [What the hell?!] I smirked, "Deer herd. Who ever kills the most wins remember. They're pack. We can't kill them." She glared back at Marco and slunked into the forest. I looked back at them and ran off.
