Dark Horse - Katy Perry (feat. Juicy J)

~3rd Person POV~

"Ashley!" Ray gets Jessica's attention and tosses her some of his food. She catches it mid-air, her jaws clapping together with the force of her bite. Of course his cooked food was less appealing than fresh off the bone, but Ray wouldn't stop throwing and she doesn't want to disappoint.

"She is alive," Niles tells Benji and Ada. "Why would I lie to my superiors?"

"She has betrayed us," Benji looks to Ada.

"Bring us to her," Ada commands. Niles runs off in the direction of Ray's base with the pack close behind.

The sound of familiar footsteps draws Jessica's attention away from Ray. He quickly notices her lack of focus and begins to question in his mind what could have drawn her mind away from him.

Within moments, Jessica is pushing Ray back into the hut. She knows who's coming and it was only a matter of time before Niles told them the truth. Ray tiptoes to the back of the shelter to grab his weapon but stops short as soon as he turns around. Panic is the only thing visible on his features and Jessica knows he's been spotted.

"She is not here," Ada growls.

"I say we kill the thing and feed," Benji suggests.

"Good idea," Ada says. "He is more vulnerable than an ill flier."

"Ashley, I think your friends are here," he mumbles quietly.

"Who is this Ashley he speaks of?" Benji questions.

"It is his name for Jessica," Niles answers.

"How do you know this?" Ada asks.

"I brought you to the traitor and to her charge," Niles snaps. Jessica can tell Niles is full of rage, blinding every other emotion he previously felt toward her.

"Get the beast," Ada commands. "It will draw her out," Jessica growls and jumps out in front of Ray, who has to cover his ears as she releases a high pitched screech.

"You won't touch him," she growls.

"What can you do?" Benji taunts. "You were bested by a club-tail!"
