"Is the truck ready! What about John?" I asked as we ran to the back gate where we kept our emergency truck,we only used it for situations such as these. 

Persius hummed as he moved fast carrying the two boys in his arms. Thanks to his large built he didn't have any trouble with carrying them.In fact he had said the trouble would be trying to get them to catch up with us. "Lucy everything is in order,just try to catch up!"

We ran and I felt something sharp digging into my right leg. I screamed as I fell on the ground "Persius!"I looked behind me as the large unknown beast dragged me back "Run!Take the kids and run!"

I heard my babies scream for me but I wouldn't let them die with me,never. This all felt like a horror movie as I dug my nails into the ground hoping to get a grip on something but it was useless.I ignored the sharp pain in my leg as I got dragged away fast and I knew that if I fought harder I would probably lose my right foot and end up like poor John.I had to come up with something fast.

"Lucy!" I heard Amara scream and I looked up.The girl had a gun in her hand,this was the first time I had ever seen her using a gun.She was against the weapon that killed her father and mother,that is why she preferred using her arrows. She shot the beast without thinking twice and I felt my foot get set free but I could feel the wound its claws left.

My eyes widened as another beast ran towards her fast "Behind you!" I screamed as I got up from the ground and ran towards her ignoring the sharp pain in my right foot,each step I took felt like hell.

Amara was fast though,she quickly turned with her gun aimed perfectly at the beast before shooting three times and the slimy beast went down. "Run!" she said to me loudly without looking at me as she ran.There was no time for pleasantries ,we had to run or we would definitely die here today.

We ran to the back gate and our truck was already ready to move with Trevor on the drivers seat. Persius grinned at me as he held the door open "We leave no man behind!"he said as we jumped in at the back.

Trevor immediately drove off at a very fast speed,my eyes quickly snapped at my two babies,'our babies'.I sighed as I thought of everything they have been through.

I hid  under a table as I shivered in the cold,Amara had strictly told me not to go hunting alone but I didn't listen as usual.Seriously I deserved this,my inability to listen has always been a problem and it got me into fucked up situations. Now I was stuck in an abandoned cabin in the middle of the woods with no idea of how to get back to our camp.Luckily I found this cabin while I was being chased by a jaguar,it got to me while I was tracking a Zebra.These random animals were all  over the forest because the werewolves kept hunting them down from their natural original territories far from the capital.

My long wavy black hair slipped out of its french braid and covered my bare shoulders as if sensing my shivers.I sighed as I felt a little warmth,damn me for wearing a stupid grey vest today. Suddenly there was a weird noise,as If a child was crying.I got up from the ground slowly as I tried listening closely.I could have been mistaken,it was rare to find children these days especially in these areas.People stopped having children after the wolves took over almost everything.

I heard the sound again,two voices crying lowly and they sounded scared. "Shhhh Mason mommy told us to stay quiet" a tiny voice said lowly but I could sense the fear in the child's voice.

I seriously did not think there would be anyone in the cabin especially children,I had probably scared them when I entered their home. I walked slowly towards the door I knew was hiding these children.I opened it slowly and sighed sadly as my eyes spotted two tiny little boys with the same mops of curly pitch black hair,the same brown eyes and round faces dotted with a few freckles on the cheeks. They hugged each other tightly as they whimpered in fear,their huge brown eyes staring at me in tears.They were so scared,one had already peed on the ground.

"Twins come here.I promise I will not hurt you."I said lowly and carefully so as to not scare them more.

They looked exactly the same,they were identical twins.The one on the left shook his head "Mommy said we should not trust anyone only each other" he said trying to be brave.

I smiled "and where is your mother honey?" I asked kneeling on the ground.I had to look harmless to earn their trust.

The brave little one silently pointed on my left and my eyes widened in horror. Their mothers body laid lifelessly in its on blood with her head on the far corner of the room and her guts spilling out.I closed my mouth with my palm as I stood up and rushed towards the two boys. I hugged them both "Come with me.I promise I will not let anyone hurt you"

PRESENT DAY

"Are you okay my loves?" I asked them as I hugged them

Jason cried out loud "The monster killed mommy ,it took you too!"

I scrunched up my eyebrows.Marcia looked at me questioningly "I thought werewolves killed their mother" she said 

"That is what I thought as well,I have never really asked them about that.I mean I just assumed the only beasts around were werewolves" I said rubbing Jason's back as he hiccuped 

"We were all wrong about this,obviously we have a lot to worry about now. We don't even know what the fuck those things are" Blake said with a frown and his cloudy dark grey eyes full of exhaustion.

Hakim sighed "language Blake" he said holding Mason in his arms.He was very good with kids and there was no doubt in my mind that he would make a great father one day.He was a responsible young man.

"Mommy said they are called bad banshees" Mason whispered and we all looked at the young child curiously.
