Hunter

This was just my luck. Honestly, I should have seen this coming.

The creatures dug their claws into my skin and filled my body with a white-noise sensation where they pierced me. I kept moving, though. Even as my limbs started to fall asleep and go numb, I knew that if I stopped, then they would win and carry me off.

I couldn’t let that happen. Audra was right here, and I wanted to make the most of my time with her.

She stood, eyes wide and hand curled into the shape of a gun. She bit her lower lip. Her gaze darted from creature to creature.

I grabbed one by the top of its head and tossed it into the air. Audra saw her chance and raised her finger-gun. A burst of ethereal pink flames shot from her fingertip and decimated the little creature in the air. It almost made me laugh, so I grabbed another and did it again.

We kept shot-putting the shadows until their number dwindled. Audra’s shoulders sagged, her breath almost ragged. I took the last of the creatures and dashed them against the wall. Though their numbers had been many, they’d been too small to really be a problem.

Finally, there was only one standing on the counter. It hunched its shoulders and lowered its head. The creature’s lips split apart, and Giselle’s voice came out of it.

“You can’t keep running, Hunter.”

My mouth was too full of teeth never meant for a human jaw. I couldn’t speak even if I wanted to. Rage burst inside my chest like the last fuck I had left to give. I snarled and reared back. My fist crashed through the thing like it was made of nothing but air.

“I’m really tired of hearing her voice,” Audra said, a little too winded for my taste.

The beast inside me clawed at my skin. It wanted out. It wanted to go destroy everything Giselle held dear if only because she’d put Audra in harm’s way. Giselle had no right to keep pestering me like this, especially when it put others at risk.

I was the only one Giselle had any right to. And if she kept this up, then I would make sure she got nothing.

That meant living, though. And the way the beast tore at my insides in a rabid attempt to escape and cause destruction, I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing. I staggered out of the kitchen without a word. The frigid air of the walk-in cooler slapped me in the face. I pulled the door shut behind me and fell to my knees.

The beast in me howled to be free. We couldn’t let Giselle keep this up. She had no right. My life didn’t belong to her yet. If she got Audra hurt…there would be hell to pay.

The beast stopped listening to reason. It saw only red. The taste of blood coursed along my tongue. My stomach clenched. There was no winning this fight anymore.
