Chapter 7 \ Action Movies Had It Wrong \

hope y'all enjoy :)

=================

The next months were a whirlwind of hunting. The girls found that the surrounding areas had host of different supernatural creatures that they never even knew existed. After learning all the hunter's journals and practically memorizing them cover to cover they felt confident in their knowledge on how to take out some monsters.

Though taking them out was the actual concern. With next to no training, hunting would be an uphill battle. And with neither of the girls having a death wish they decided that some practice was the best course of action.

Their first day at the shooting range proved just how little Charlotte knew about guns. It took almost two hours for her to even hit the edge of a target. Though they had found out that the range also had an axe throwing wall, with a little convincing the owner let Charlotte take a turn with her knives.

Her accuracy with the sharp tool was deadly and brought her confidence back up a bit.

Maddie on the other hand seemed to be a natural when the fire arm was in her hand. The distance of the target didn't seem to matter and she was able to hit it every time. Maybe not a perfect shot every time but it would do the job any day.

Boxing lessons seemed to challenge the red head though. She instantly disliked it due to the fact that her first ten minutes there she got punched in the face. Granted Charlotte had taken precaution and gotten her a face mask as well as other pads, she still was not happy. After two hours in the gym she was sore and ready to go home and soak in a hot bath. Not willing to admit just yet that she was happy she now knew how to better defend herself if she was unarmed.

Watching Charlotte fight had been an interesting experience for her though. She had seen her throw people out of the bar before but this was something completely different. She almost turned into a different person as she sent her hands flying quickly as her opponent. She fought like she was always at some disadvantage whether it be height or weight, which when it came to hunting it would usually be one or the other. Maddie happily chose to not pair up with the blond when the trainer asked if she was ready to spar.

As the weeks progressed each girl could see the change, each improving at an astonishing rate. The time came sooner than expected for them to put their new skills to the test.

A newspaper slapped down in front of Charlotte as she sat eating a bowl of cereal. Half the paper nearly landed in her bowl making her shoot a glare at her roommate.

"rude," She muttered around her spoon as she pushed the paper away, not giving it much attention.

"Read it," Maddie whined while pointing at one of the articles. "I think it might be something other than an animal attack,"

Charlotte rolled her eyes at the other girl's impatience before picking up the paper.

"local couple attacked by animal in town cemetery...." Charlotte read out loud but slowly let her voice fade as she began to read quicker, before looking back at Maddie. "Why do you think this isn't an animal attack,"

"I've been keeping track of attacks and such in the area and the same description fits an attack from a couple weeks ago." Charlotte went to reply but was interrupted. "And at the same cemetery there have been graves being dug up, the cemetery staff said that pieces of the deceased were missing,"

"hmm," the noise was her only reply as Charlotte re-read the paper, getting out of her chair she went and picked up one of the journals that she had in mind. She had an idea of what the monster was if Maddie's hunch was right. Flipping through the pages she landed on the one she was thinking of.
