"Are you guys crazy!Leave me,fuck" John groaned as we raced with his body back to camp.We could hear them following right behind us as if we were the perfect prey.
"Just shut the fuck up little brother because there is no way in hell I'm leaving you" Trevor said increasing his speed,If these things were werewolves we would have been dead ages ago,they were fortunately slow just like us,well almost. Amara and Hakim were right behind us aiming at the beasts with their sharp arrows to slow them down.They were our best fighters while I was just still sort of an amateur which is why I was helping Hakim carry his brother.
I took a quick glimpse at John,he was falling in and out of conscious "he has lost a lot of blood we need to hurry!"
"we are almost there," Trevor replied ,I could hardly keep up with his speed but I knew better than to complain especially when those things were right behind us.
"Faster guys these things are like a fucking thousand or something!" Amara called out as we ran.
My legs felt like giving out but I kept telling myself I couldn't lose John.I couldn't lose another person I loved,those days were over. Gone are the days when I was weak and naive. I am a fighter now and fighters don't give up.Fighters don't let their friends die like nothing,obviously this world had something against me but I wouldn't let that kill me. How can there possibly be more monsters in this world as if we didn't have enough of those already.Humans always turned out to be the priority on these beasts food chain.We are always going to be the hunted and only the strong will survive.
We reached our camp and Amara ran ahead of us,our camp was surrounded by a moderately big wall we had built for protection against wild animals such as hyenas and jaguars. We lived deep in the forest at the edge of what was once England to avoid the werewolves main territory,the capital. Facing hyenas and jaguars was far much better than facing werewolves,at least here we had a chance to survive-well that was until these new beasts came out of nowhere.
"Get him in quickly!" Persius shouted as he opened the metal gate slightly just for us to enter "Hurry!" he said closing it quickly right after Hakim stepped in.
"What the fuck is that?" he asked raising a dark eyebrow as he locked the heavy gate with the help of Marcia a young black beauty with hazel eyes.
I breathed in deep "I wish I knew,"
We carried an unconscious John to one the tents were we kept the medicine "What happened?" Marcia asked in horror as we laid John on a make shift bed.
"They ripped off his leg" Amara cried out as she grabbed some bandages and alcohol to disinfect the wound. "We are going to have to burn the flesh otherwise he will get a serious infection" she said wiping her forehead that had gathered a lot of sweat .
"are you crazy!He could die after getting a shock" Trevor said angrily
"Or he could die of an infection and a very bad fever.He is already getting one right now.We have to do this" I said lowly. I barely had any energy left in me,my feet were sore and my body was shaking.
"I have a sword ,my father gave it to me before he died.We could use that to burn the flesh"Persius said.
Amara nodded her head "That will do,I will sedate him with the stronger herb,it will keep him unconscious for a while.Lucy you should probably check on the kids. Trevor please be on the look out for those things whatever they are. Our walls might not be that strong,those beasts were a lot.I will take care of John,we can't all be in here while those things are out there."
"You are right,Trevor please trust her."I said holding his arm with my shaky hand. He noticed I was shaking and he held my hands softly.
"Are you okay?"he asked softly
I nodded "Yeah just a little freaked out."
"You and I both" he said as we walked out.
He grabbed a gun before heading off to keep an eye out with Blake by his side,the ugly beasts hadn't tried getting in yet but we could all hear them outside the walls. As each moment passed their screels got louder as if they were gathering outside the walls.I ran towards the run down ice cream truck,they loved hanging out there a lot.I could hear their laughter and I was glad they weren't there to witness John in such a state,there was so much blood.
I entered the run down truck feeling a bit cold but my heart warmed up as I watched the two five year old boys chase each other around "Mason,Jason come here" I called them as I sat on the ground.
"You are back!" Mason exclaimed with a huge smile on his face as he crushed in my arms giving me a hug. Jason followed suit ,he wasn't a boy of many words unlike his brother who was more on the bubbly side.They were always happy to see me and they cried a lot whenever I had to go hunting or on errands. I didn't blame my boys though,they knew they could lose me any time.They knew about death and evil at such an early age and that broke my heart so much after all when I found them they were face to face with death himself but I did what I always do best-I saved them.
"Why are you sad mama Lu?" Jason asked as he played with my hair.I smiled down at him as I brushed his dark curls.
"Well bad animals are here and soon we will have to leave our home,again" I told them sadly
Mason whined "No Lu,I don't wanna run again.I am tired"he said hiding his small head under my left arm.
I looked up trying hard not to cry,my poor babies-they didn't deserve this. "Please my sweethearts work with me,okay.I promise I will tell you the story of the wild beauty and the bad beast three times once we settle again."
"Really!" Mason suddenly said as his head popped back up and I smiled.
"Yes I promise"
Persius suddenly showed up at the door looking frantic and I knew what we had to do, "We need to go now,they are in!" he breathed out loud.
