Girl Who Cried Wolf

The Vault

Eunbi arrived at the school with her pack behind her. They figured this would be easy, that was until they saw those two men again. They stood in front of the school, blocking them from the vault.

"All you have to do is use your claws." The woman gave instructions to Sowon. She slowly brought her claws towards the indent.

"Sowon, don't do it!" Eunha called out. Sowon turned around. She saw Eunha running towards them but she was blocked off by the muscular figure.

"Don't listen to her. You don't even know her." She made Sowon turn around and continue putting her claws into the indent so the vault would open.

"We can't beat them." Yuju said, panting.

"Keep fighting. Remember, this is for Sowon." Eunbi tried to encourage them, but even she acknowledged the fact that these things were too strong.

Seoyeon rapidly slashed them with her katana but it wasn't doing anything. The bones around their bodies would not break. They were invincible. Seoyeon was barely hit into the air. She flew towards Yuju, now the both of them were knocked out.

"Eunbi." Eunha looked at her for help. Eunbi looked over at Eunha, only to find the man holding her in the air by a sharp bone that was attached to his hand.

Only Umji and Eunbi were left standing back to back. The woman had already entered the vault and began searching around for something in particular. Sowon stood there in the middle of the vault and waited for her to find what she was looking for.

"You never die, do you?" A woman appeared at the entrance of the vault.

"Of course it's you." She turned to the woman and rolled her eyes. It wasn't necessarily unexpected.

"You're gonna have to go through me before you get what you want." She growled at her.

"You're not much." She laughed.

She was about to continue on, that was until she heard a loud roar coming from above her. It was Eunbi calling out for any wolf to come save them. It didn't matter if they were part of her pack or not. Sowon sprinted out of the vault, but the woman didn't care. She had no use for Sowon anymore.

"You wanna get angry? Let's get angry!" She ran at her like a bull.

Haeun arrived at the scene, something compelled her here, something other than Eunbi's cry for help. She couldn't do much since she was only a new wolf.

"What the hell is that?" Haeun backed away. She cared about helping others, but not to the point where she'd risk her own life. She saw everyone on the ground, even Eunbi. She knew she didn't have a chance so she gave up right then and there.

"Wait." Eunbi put her hand out, signaling Yuju to not get up from the floor. She saw Sowon coming from out of the corner of her eye, and she remembered that last time she was able to fight them off.

The two men looked directly at Sowon, marching towards her now. It was weird for Eunbi to watch a 13-year-old Sowon fight off whatever these things were. Sowon clawed at them for awhile, her body beginning to go back to normal as she fought them off. The pack wore a smile of relief when a loud roar signaled them back to their leader. The pack looked in their direction, the old Sowon was staring back at them with yellow eyes like an omega.

"Sowon, is it really you?" Umji slowly got up from the floor.

"It's really me." Sowon's voice cracked. She seemed to be on the verge of tears.

"That was the weirdest shit I've ever seen." Haeun stood behind them, still in shock.

"I missed you." Sowon, of course, went to Eunha's side first.

"I'm so glad you're back. You were annoying as hell when you were a kid." Eunha laughed which turned into a whimper as she placed her hand over the wound on her stomach.

"I get that a lot." Sowon smiled as she helped Eunha off the ground.

"What the hell are those things?"

"Berserkers." Sowon answered. "They are men who wear the skins and bones of bears to channel the animal's ferocity, they become animals themselves. They are stronger then werewolves, much stronger. They're just as fast as the average werewolf. The only way to kill them is by ripping apart their skull mask."

"Why are they here?"

"I don't know. Yerin's aunt is back. She's a Werejaguar, which has a connection with Berserkers. I don't know how the two have a connection, but they just do."

"What the hell does Yerin's aunt have to do with you?" Asked Yuju.

"It doesn't matter. I can't talk about it right now. And by the way, who is that?" Sowon pointed to the girl in the back.

"Um...that's Haeun. She's a new member of the pack, my pack." Eunbi was a bit hesitant to tell her. She didn't know how Sowon would react, but Eunbi figured it was about time she starts her own pack and leaves Sowon's.

"So you're finally forming your own pack, huh?" Sowon crossed her arms over her chest with a proud smile. "Just like I taught you to."

"Well, if it isn't the one and only Kim Sojung." Sowon slowly turned around, surprised to hear such a familiar voice.
