one more for the wolf man
The hallway was dark and narrow. Water dripping from above was the only sound he heard. Rot from said water had spread all through the brick passageway. The claws on his feet made light tapping noises as he moved otherwise silently. Her scent was faint, but he was sure that the blood thirsty killer had gone down this way.
I’ll kill her. If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll kill her. All of their blood is on her. I can never forgive her.
Her smell became even stronger as he moved farther in. Small blotches of blood dotted the floor at this point.
I knew it, she’s here.
Throwing care to the wind, he broke into an all out dash for the end of the path.
I must get to her. I have to.
He finally reached the end of the hall, and it opened up to a larger area. To his left the floor dropped away into darkness, and to his right the wall had two open doors.
“Wow! One of you survived,” came a voice from the farthest door.
A monstrous howl was his only response as he leapt through the air at the door, her form becoming clear as he crossed the room in one bound. Her arm came up and out, slashing at him with a knife.
What a joke, if all she can do is use a knife, I’ll kill her. Don’t get cocky though, she did pull off killing the rest of the pack. This must just be her opening act.
He bounced back from the knife, only to be caught by the whip she held in her other hand. The sting of it actually lasted longer than the wound it left.
Hah. She’s mine.
This time he attempted to rebound from the wall, and catch her at an angle. Her hand flicked at him and sent the knife in it gracefully arcing towards him.
Pitiful, I don’t even have to dodge that.
As the blade went through the air, it passed a patch of sunlight, and the ominous glow of silver shimmered off its surface.
No.
And then the knife was imbedded deep within his shoulder, and pushing him into unconsciousness. His body hit the floor, and slid down the opening and out of what dim light the room had. At the bottom, he didn’t even feel his impact with water or the current carrying him away.

.....

“Idiot!,” accompanied her hand smashing against his face, causing blood to flow freely from his lip.
“Why are you mad? Oh I get it, somebody from my pack owed you money! Sorry you’ll never get that back.”
“You pompous fur-ball. Let’s say that I hit you because the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.”
“Okay. I can’t say that I’m not just a little bit confused. But, you know you’re stronger than me, so why don’t we work together, and over time come to trust each other. We can hunt the killer together.” If I can get this to work! Ooooohhhh. Revenge and sex!
“First I’ll have to test you,” and she gave a smile he did not appreciate.
“Test?”
