Lost

Chapter Two

        Alex got on my back and I took off running. She was extremely light for being eleven.  I could hear the werewolves barking. I started to panic. I didn't know where to go and they weren't even a mile from me. I climbed up into a tree and set Alex on a branch. I handed her my other gun.        

        "If I can't get them to leave us alone and I die I want you to stay up here until they leave. If they spot you. Shoot them and run like hell," I told her.

        I climbed back down and took my gun and knife out. I waited and then they came. I felt my fangs extend as their glowing eyes appeared through the darkness. I took a step back.

        "Please leave us alone we didn't know this was your territory."

        They kept walking towards me. They snapped their jaws. One jumped at me and I shot it in the chest. It fell to the ground and one of the other ones ran to its side. The last one lunged at me and I stabbed it in the throat.  suddenly more came out of the trees. my heart started to race. I started shooting. once came up behind me and jumped on me.  I stabbed his eye and blood covered over my hands. I kicked him off and started to climb a tree. They pushed against the tree. Soon they stopped and fell to the ground howling in pain. I looked across to Alex and she was saying something and looking at them. 

        "Enough!"

        I looked down and a man walked into the opening. he had short gray hair and was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. He had tattoos up and down his arms. Alex stopped and looked at him.

        "What are you doing in our territory?" He asked.

        "Look we didn't know this was wolf territory," I said.

        I climbed a few branches down and sat down.

        "Well that means we aren't guarding our boundaries."

        A few wolves cowered and walked away.

        "I'm sorry my friend and I will just leave then," I replied getting down.

        A wolf walked over to me growling and I played with my knife in my hand.

        "Ash that's enough. I'm sorry for my pack they haven't met people new in a while. Since you have a child with so you why don't you stay with us for a while. Get your strength back." He said.

        I looked at him as I helped Alex down. She looked at me.

        "They will have food," She said.

        "Yeah for you not for me," I told her.

        She rolled her eyes.

        "Fine we will stay with you if your pups don't try to kill me," I said smiling at the wolves around me. 

        "My name is Jason," He said.

        "I'm Maya and this is my friend Alex," I said 

        Jason motioned to us to follow him and the wolves walked be hind us.

        "I'm sorry about some of your whelps," I said.

        "They'll be fine. I would've done the same thing if I were a vampire as well."
