"Like I told the young lady, my name is Vera," This 'Vera began to explain while she sauntered over to me. She pulled a chair over and motion for me to sit down while she started to explain again. "That 'dog' as you put it," she mimicked Chase, "was really a skinwalker, it's a supernatural creator" I interrupt her though, cause I'm me and am obsessed with 'Supernatural' the TV show.

"-that can morph into any animal or person it pleases." They stare at me like I grew another head, Vera snaps out of it first and sits in the chair next to me. She starts to clean and bandage my arms and legs first as she questions me, "how did you know that and you turn around." She pointed at Chase and motioned for me to take off what was left of my shirt. We both comply while I answer like it's no big deal, "I watched Supernatural."

"I thought you stopped watching after they left Adam in the cage though?" Chase asked me while Vera continues to wrap medical dressings around my stomach and chest. "I did" was my only reply as I glare at the floor as if it were Sam and Dean's faces. I winced when she finished and started on my shoulders, "that show isn't all that accurate all the time anyway, I'm a hunter. I was walking through the woods when heard you guys shouting and screaming."

When she finished with my shoulders, she got up and started to ruffle through a bag that was on a nearby table. "So, all things supernatural exist? How did you kill it? Do hunters go by some sort of code? How did you get into hunting?" Chase rambles as Vera throws me a shirt that says, "Stiles" on it. I quickly put it on just as Chase decides to turn around. "Chase chill." I give him this look that basically asks, "why are you freaking out?"

"Don't give me that look," is his only reply before Vera decides to stop our bickering. "If you want me to answer those questions, you'll be quiet now." We immediately shut our mouths and turn our full attention to her. Once she sees we are listening, she pulls out a couple of books from her bag. "Yes, most supernatural creatures do exist, aside from 'Nessy the lock ness monster' anyway. She chuckles slightly while picking up a couple of water bottles and handing them to us.

" I killed the skinwalker by saying it's human name. As for how I got into hunting..." She drifts off while looking off with a sad look in her eyes. I know that look, it's the look wore for a while after my dad left and the one me and Chase have been wearing lately because of Jack going missing. I close my eyes to try and block out the memories of my dad. "You don't have to-" I hear Chase start but, Vera interrupted him.

"It's fine, I got into hunting about 6 years ago when me and my fiancee Alex went camping and a nest of skinwalkers came and attacked us. They clawed open my side and one of my legs then took her. She was actually the skinwalker that attacked you both." Vera explained and silence fell over us again. She in thought before she started to speak again, "yes we do have a code it's, 'Nous protégeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protéger euxmêmes.'" When we just stared at her, she translated it, "We protect those who cannot protect themselves."
