Girl Who Cried Wolf

Vet

"What is the veterinarian gonna do for her?" Eunha asked as she held Sowon in her arms. She was knocked out cold because Eunha punched her in the face in order to get her to shut her mouth.

"He's not just some normal vet, he has knowledge about the supernatural world. He knows about all of us, even you." Eunbi informed as she knocked on the door.

"She looks like a baby sleeping." Eunha smiled as she looked down at the sleeping beauty in her arms.

"Don't worry, we'll get her back." Eunbi reassured her. She could sense the sadness radiating off of her.

"Eunbi, what are you doing here?" The vet was surprised to see Eunbi at the door.

"We need help, it's urgent."

"What is it?"

"This." Eunbi pointed at the girl sleeping in Eunha's arms.

"Set her down right here." He began to remove the supplies on the metal table so Eunha could set Sowon down.

"So, do you know how to help her?" Eunha asked as she backed away from the table.

"I've never seen anything like this before..."

"But you will figure something out, right?" Eunha threateningly looked at him, as if she would kill him if he didn't find a way to save Sowon.

"I will try. For now, you two need to go home. You've got school tomorrow."

"My grades are fine, I'm staying here with her." Eunha insisted as she sat down on the chair next to the table.

"Eunha, it's late, you should go get some rest." Eunbi frowned at her. She knew this was hard for her, but she still had to take proper care of herself.

"It's Sowon, I'm not going to leave her." Eunha stood her ground. She would not move from this seat until Sowon was back to normal.

"Okay, I guess that's fine then." Eunbi shrugged. "I'll come back by tomorrow after school. I'm gonna go check up on Umji and Yuju and see if they've still got Haeun under control."

"I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully this will all be over." Eunha said as walked Eunbi out to the door.

Eunha slowly opened her eyes, finding the vet checking Sowon's pulse. He turned to her and said, "Her blood pressure is alarmingly high. Come hold her hand." The vet called Eunha over while he grabbed a scalpel to cut into Sowon's skin.

The wound healed as quickly as he made the cut, which was a lot faster than usual. The vet wanted to try something else so he went to the cupboard to grab a syringe. While he was getting the supplies, Sowon opened her eyes. She could only see their vague outlines and their eyes. The two kept calling her name but she didn't recognize either of them.

"Don't let her get away!" The vet shouted as he saw Sowon making a run for the door.

Eunha stood in front of the door so she couldn't get out. Sowon looked up at her with blue eyes, as if it were going to scare Eunha away. Sowon looked up in awe when she saw Eunha's blue eyes. For some reason, she found safety in those bright blue eyes.

"You're like me..." Sowon quietly spoke.

"I'm exactly like you." Eunha knelt down in front of her. "You're okay. I won't let anyone hurt you." Eunha weakly smiled and nodded her head to reassure the young girl.

Eunha was startled when the door opened. She expected it to be Eunbi, but the woman standing there was unfamiliar. "Who are you?" Eunha questioned as she grabbed Sowon's hand and pulled her behind her back.

"I'm here to collect what's mine." She unexpectedly hit Eunha on the head.

She stood there for a moment and stared down at Eunha who was rubbing her head as she lied on the floor. Eunha widened her eyes and tried to scramble to her feet when she saw the woman grab Sowon and sprint away. She was too fast for Eunha to catch up.

"Where the hell would some random lady take Sowon?" Eunbi asked. The pack was gathered around the table, including Yerin.

"I don't know." Eunha shrugged.

"What did she look like?" Seoyeon asked.

"Um...I don't know, it happened so fast. She was definitely older, maybe about her 30's?" Eunha was trying to remember what she looked like but her memory failed her.

"Hold on." Yerin fished for her phone in her pocket. "Did she look like this?" Yerin showed Eunha a picture on her phone.

"Yes! Exactly like that!" Eunha was shocked to see the photo.

"Do you know her?" Eunbi asked.

"She's my aunt." Yerin answered, a frown appearing on her face as she put her phone away.

"Why does your aunt want Sowon?"

"I don't know. Maybe she knows about Sowon being a wolf?"

"Are you saying she's going to try to kill her?" Eunha stood up from her seat. She was panicked even more so now.

"I don't think so. There's a vault underneath the school, I think she might want something from there that belongs to the Kim family."

"Then why does she need Sowon?"

"Because only the Kim's have access to the vault. The vault has a system set up so that only the claws of a Kim can open the vault."

"So that's why she needs Sowon, to open the vault using her claws?" Eunbi just wanted to make sure she was understanding correctly.

"But why would Sowon help her? And why would she need to bring Sowon back to that age?" Yuju questioned.

"Um, Sowon once told me a story about when she was younger." Umji spoke up, "she was once in a relationship with Yerin's aunt."

"What? But my aunt is like 11 years older than her." Yerin looked disgusted.

"Sowon didn't know any better. By the age of 13 she had barely been out of the wild. She didn't know what it was like to be a human in the real world. She didn't know it was wrong." Umji explained, looking at Eunha with an apologetic expression.

"Wait, so Yerin's aunt probably took Sowon back to the age of 13 because that's when Sowon trusted her. If she trust her now, then she's going to open the vault for her." Eunbi connected the dots.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to the vault!" Eunha rushed towards the door.
