chapter ten.



VERONICA WANTED TO KEEP her hood up but Uncle Chris forced her to keep down because he knew she'd walk out of this warehouse with blood on her hands. That besides today's point, hunters had gone after Satomi's pack last night ━ but, it was the perfect time to strike; open field at night, unsuspected and dived, her family would have slaughtered them expect they didn't.

"I think my parents are punishing me." Veronica confessed, eyes trained on the corners. Getting inside was easy it staying in, monsters kept coming out of nowhere.  "They hunted Satomi's pack without me last night. Any insights why, Uncle Chris?"

"I'm gonna go on a limp and guess it's because you're friends with their.. enemy."  Uncle Chris answered, his assault rifle pointed at the ground a clear sign he hadn't done here with the intention to kill only to do harm.  "I think the search for Kate has been stressing them out so went to find.. another source. Which they shouldn't have."

She bites the inside of her cheek.  "You're right, they shouldn't have." There are times when Veronica just feels like making her parents anger at her because she just doesn't care and wants to see how they'd react to it, could she actually do what she's tempted to do? 

"Stop making that face." Uncle Chris said, sparing her glance. His eyebrow twitched. A growl erupted behind her and Chris jammed his assault rifle where her head was knocking the beast out.   "You've got this evil glint in your eyes."

She scoffed.  "I always have that glint."

"Yeah you do." He agreed. Uncle Chris' defense stance dropped stopping in between the aisles of growing plants but one stood out, a beam on light shone near the end of the warehouse on a golden yellow wolfbane blossomed flower ready to be plucked.

"She's a beauty."  Veronica complemented, leaning her hands on her thighs to admire it closer. Uncle Chris grinned in agreement, she doubts Kate will be able to walk after one shoot of this.

AT THE ARGENT WAREHOUSE Uncle Chris explained to her here is where they found Violet dead and Kate hiding out here because she couldn't control herself, they still don't know what's (... or who. ) she looking for. Her legs swung below a table as she waited for him to hide his plant in a cabinet. There was nowhere she needed to be at the moment, her siblings were off doing whatever rugrats do when left alone and her parents were partaking in some normalcy (... sounds boring. ) she already has school and that's all she needs because being normal is such a drag.

Her eyebrows furrowed when Uncle Chris stood up, assault rifle in his hands prepared to shoot the intruder dumb enough to leave wet footprints on a concrete ground. She pulls her dual kindjal from her back slow not to alarm them, she walks on her toes careful not to make noise a shadow appears behind a sheet wall and something sliced through knocking the rifle from his hands. Veronica made the mistake of following the sound and when she looked back; beaming gold eyes and fangs threatened her, Uncle Chris shoved a gun up his throat before he could attack her.
