 "I'll start with the kitchen," I told Natasha. 

"I'll help you," said Gaby.

"I'm so nervous! I need to pee right now," said Nat.

Nat quickly walked to the front door peeked out and came back in. Yes, the house was open and unprotected. Luckily for us, the town residents don't steal other's utensils or household goods.

"Well, seems like our lucky day! The streets look like they've been abandoned for at least ten years."

"Believe me when I say, they always look like that," I told her.

"Quick pee! Alright?" Natasha was dancing around holding her bladder.

I just nodded gesturing that I've got everything under control. She ran up the stairs quickly making sure that her bladder does not spill.

I looked at the clock which said 10:00 AM in the morning. The house was a very big mess. When I was told that they were searching the house, I knew that the house would be messy. But, I did not expect it to look like it had been hit by a hurricane on the inside. 

The couches and sofas were turned over, things were thrown to the floor, broken cutlery, strewn newspapers, broken frames,  art pieces, and the list could go on! Although I wanted to strangle some responsible officer, I had to be a sensible young woman and get to work.

Gaby grabbed a mop and pushed all the broken cutlery on the floor to the side to make our search easy. We tried knocking the floor for any kind of hollowness. When we decided to peek inside the cabinets, we heard a disturbance at the door. 

Both of us stilled and grabbed our swords quietly. Why is Nat taking so long? I wondered if she intended to use the washroom or to build one. I was genuinely worried if she was actually working on the latter. I rolled my eyes at my genuine sarcasm.

We heard the door open, footsteps... Lots of them. We heard the door close. We held our breath.  

I heard precisely a pair of footsteps going upstairs. We decided to check on the intruders and tip-toed slowly out of the kitchen towards the living room. But who I saw there shocked me, fear began clouding my thoughts.

'If I find that you've stepped out of the pack, I will not hesitate... You know what I mean.'

My heart was beating in my throat and I was sure that the intruders could hear it. I heard Gaby gulp beside me.

She mind-linked me, "They hid their scents quite well. They smelled almost human."

I hid back and covered my mouth. What am I going to do? They know that we're here. They looked like they're waiting for us to show ourselves.

Gaby mind-linked again, "You must run, Cass. I'll slow them down."

This is all so wrong. If I lost my mother... Tears burned my eyes. I took a step back into the kitchen to run out the back door.
