Us Against The World

Chapter 17

Gerard and I shift into our wolf forms, letting them take control,and hunt for food. My hellhound takes half the control and pounces on a rather large hare. I snap the neck and return to Gerard's silver wolf. Together, we return back to camp.

"If only I had some spices." The others look at Selena as she tears into her rabbit leg.

"You're hilarious, Selena."

"I know." She blushes.

"Let's go." I climb up the ladder, and gave Jennifer a hand up onto the roof. Selena and Elizabeth join us a few minutes later, heavily grunting and sighing. We stand on the edge to leap to the other side.

"Shouldn't we shift?"

"No. If they catch us, then they won't even know we're shifters."

"So, who's first?" Liz asks, eyeing the 20ft jump from one building to the other.

"See y'all over there!" I run and jump, pushing off with all the strength I have left. I roll and stand up, landing on the other side without harm. The others follow suit, and we finally reach the police station. We all slide down from the five-story building, landing on our feet like a cat.
Three guards stand outside, guns raised at their sides.
Selena moves first, tackling one of the guards, knocking him unconscious. Liz I take on the other two.

"So,where should we start?" I say, following Jennifer to a desk.

"Smell this. Maybe we can track her through the building." Jennifer hands me a pair of gloves, which I take a short whiff of. The scent trail leads to barred doors, which Selena immediately slams into. The doors magically unlock and we push through.
Inside is a man in his late 30s wearing a business suit, and writing a paper. He looks up and whispers something into a radio.

"Think we should run?" Elizabeth asks, tensing and crouching to the floor as a loud bell rings out from the ceiling.

"Wait and see. It might not be that bad." About twelve officers step out from the shadows, tasers armed.

"What is your business here?" The man asks.

"Where is my mother, Drake?" He gives Jennifer a long, hard stare.

"I've sent her away. You'll never find her."

"This is so cliche," Selena bursts out laughing. "This is like a movie scene."

"Who are you three?"

"Friends." I say.

"Well then, meet my friends. They're designed for maiming and torturing the supernatural." The one closest to me swings his arm out, and hits my nose. Blood gushes from my nose onto my shirt.

"Now?" The girls look at me, waiting for an answer.

"Now!" I shout.

Through all the bloodshed, Gerard returns to his home.
