Chapter 1
DANNY P.O.V
"Are you sure this is the right place."
"I'm positive. The bloodsucker is here."
"All right. You're the leader this time, Adora. Let's go."
The night was quiet, still, and cold. We could see our breath as we stood watching the house. The vampire we were after had a huge price over his head. The portfolio that we looked at for the case said that he was known for killing young women just after ten.
We waited in the chilly darkness until our prey emerged from his home. Like the profile told us, the vampire was wearing appealing clothes which was how he was able to lure some of his victims to their death. He locked his door and then went to his car. We waited until he was a little ways in front of us before we followed. Adora took the lead, her dark brown tail brushed my shoulder as she passed me.
The vampire drove over to the next town over, which was only about fifteen minutes. He parked on the darker side of a street and just sat there. He was waiting for prey to come into his line of vision. There were a few people who wandered up and down the street, but the vampire was looking for a specific type of target. We couldn't attack him while he was waiting, so we had to wait till he struck first. An hour passed before anything happened. While we waited, we just hung out on the sidewalk. We fit in with the stray dogs that lived on the street so nobody saw anything strange about two wolves lying on the pavement. The people thought we were malamutes and even offered us some scraps. We accepted the offers so we wouldn't seem suspicious because we kept staring at the vamp's car. At one point, a black impala passed by slowly. I stared at the male in the passengers seat and he stared back. He seemed a little unnerved when he looked at me, probably because he saw that my eyes were bright blue. My eyes are normally red, but to keep things from going out of control, I make my eyes blue so I don't scare people.
I looked away from the male as the car drove out of sight. For some reason, I thought I remembered something a fellow pack member said about a black car that was owned by a guy and his brother. I shook the thought out of my head as Adora nudged my shoulder with her nose. The vamp was getting out of his car and was following an attractive looking brunette who was walking into an alley. She was trying to catch up with her friends but the heels she was wearing was making it hard for her to walk fast.
Adora and I walked slowly across the street, completely unaware that the impala I saw earlier was parked at the street corner and was watching us. We approached the alley and then ran in when we heard a slight scream.
The vamp had the girl pinned to the wall and was about to bite her neck when we jumped and attacked. Our fangs pierced the skin of his neck. Claws and fur flew as we fought with the vampire. He tried to throw us off but we held our death grip. I bite harder onto his neck the more he moved. My back claws ran up and down his body ripping him to shreds. The vamp hissed and his fangs came out but Adora and I had him on the ground before he could fight back. Once on the ground we wasted no time in digging our teeth farther into his neck.
In our wolf like way we tugged and pulled at the neck till it was ripped from his body. I looked at the girl the vamp had cornered, or at least where she should have been but she wasn't there, not that it mattered the bloodsucker was dead and she was safe. When the work was done Adora changed back into human form. Blood stained her face and hands. She grabbed a bit of her black hair and frowned.
"God dammit. I hate when I get blood in my hair. Is it in my ears?" She asked tipping her head to show my her white tipped black ears. I changed to human form and surveyed her ears.
"No. But next time you should be cleaner."
"Cleaner? What are you talking about we change into wolves and rip the heads off vampires for a living! How can you be clean while doing that?"
"I don't know, find a way." I joked with her and began licking the blood around my mouth. Then I pulled out my polaroid pocket camera and took some pictures from the scene: one of the body and one of the head. I then grabbed the head of the vampire and stuffed into our head bag. I tied the bag shut and then changed back into my wolf form. Adora did the same and then grabbed the bag in her mouth. We left the alley quickly,just in case someone heard the noise from our attack.
When Adora and I got back to the hotel we rented the first thing I did was call dibs on the bathroom. "You always get dibs on the bathroom first!" Adora protested but I closed the door with a teasing tongue before she could stop me. I looked into the mirror and began washing off the blood, most of it was around my mouth and feet. I took a shower thoroughly washing everything off. When I came out Adora addressed me annoyed.
"Hope you saved me hot water."
"...Maybe-" I drew out the word unsure if I had used up all the hot water or not. Adora sighed and rolled her eyes playfully then continued into the bathroom for her shower. Her dark brown tail swaying. Even in our human forms we had wolfish features, a burden we carried with spite but one that came gladly when Halloween rolled into town. I couldn't count how many times a hunter or supernatural creature thought we were werewolves.
We're not werewolves we're just wolf shifters! Adora would tell them angrily and with a bitter look in her eye. Truthfully that'd be just another day as shifter/hunters. Adora and I took it together though. We hated supernatural creatures that killed the innocents, which is why we became hunters. But we're not racist like most hunters. Unless we have a reason to we won't actively seek out the supernatural creatures. We just accept the cases given to us from hunters we know. They didn't know we were wolf shifters, for obvious reasons. If they did we'd probably be killed, or at least hunted.
I grabbed a brush out of our bags and began brushing the knots out of my hair. Our life was hard due to not only our hunter occupation but our shifter side as well. Still anytime I looked at my black wolf ears sprouting from my head I couldn't be spiteful of our shifter side. In truth I love it, and my wolf ears just add to the effect even when I'm human.
SAM P.O.V
Dean and I watched the vampire walk into the alley. By the time we heard the scream and got out of the car the vamp's head was missing and there was blood everywhere. Dean and I searched the alley way meticulously but there was nothing there. No other hunters that could have done this, not even the brunette the vamp targeted.
"What the hell?" Dean asked gruffly, to no one in particular.
"I don't know."
"Was she a hunter?" I shrugged, it was completely possible for the girl that was targeted to have been a hunter but if so why did she scream. She must have known that would attract attention. I looked towards the blood again but there was not even a blood trail to determine where the head had been taken.
"Whatever killed it and took the head knew what it was doing. There's not even a blood trail." I told him, Dean just scowled and put the machete back in the duffel bags. He began to walk away when I called him back.
"That's it? We're not gonna look into what killed this thing?"
"It's a dead vamp, Sammy. That's one less bloodsucker in the world."
I took a last look at the dismembered body and couldn't help but notice a few bloody pawprints leading away from the scene. Instinctively I followed them.
The pawprints lead not more than two blocks away at a motel in the middle of town. Whatever killed that vamp must be inside, so I got closer and peeked through the window. In the motel room a girl laid on the bed her arm draped over her eyes and her black wet hair splayed out a little on the pillow. The girl didn't look like much, except a hunter. I pondered the possibility until another girl came out of the bathroom, naked and wet. I almost looked away when I noticed her non-human qualities. Black wolf ears stuck out from her head of matching colored hair, pushed down in agitation. Her tail was the same color except tipped with white. The girl had her arms crossed over her breasts and began talking to the other girl. I quickly brought out my camera to take pictures. While they talked snippets of their conversation came to me.
"It's bad enough I had to take another shower after missing some of the blood but now we're out of towels!" The naked one started angrily.
The girl on the bed sat up her short hair falling just to her shoulders. She sized up the other one as she talked to her. "Just use the dirty ones, Danny, we're all friends here." Her friend seemed more angered at her reply, saying things about poorly run motels not having enough towels. The girl who was dressed got up and dialed a few numbers on the phone, letting the staff know they needed towels. That's when I noticed her tail and ears. Both girls had tails and ears to match their black hair but what was strange was that they didn't have any other wolfish features. If they were werewolves they wouldn't have only ears and a tail. If these girls were like werewolves then could they change into a wolf as well. Maybe these were a new breed of supernatural creatures that Dad never knew about. They're not human that's for sure.
I snapped a few more pictures as their conversation went on. I hoped they didn't notice me, as I slipped back under the cover of darkness. I made my way back to the impala but before I got there I ran into Dean, literally.
"JESUS!" Dean cursed when we bumped, when he noticed it was me he looked relieved and angry. "Sam? What the hell? I turn around and you're gone, where did you go?"
"You know that thing that killed the vamp," I started, I didn't give Dean time to sigh or protest as I pulled out my phone and opened the pictures. "it wasn't human. It was two girls who had wolf ears and a tail!"
I must have looked like I was losing it because Dean's face was one of pure confusion and disbelief. "What have you been smoking?"
"No, Dean, I'm serious! These girls killed the vamp, but they were...wolfish." Dean still didn't look convinced so I brought out my phone and showed him the pictures. He looked at them with that smirk he gets when watching porn.
"Sammy! Growing up and becoming a man eh?"
"What?" I started confused then quickly remembered one of the girls was naked when I snapped the photos. "No! Look closer." I told him as he zoomed in the picture. Dean's smile faded and his facial expressions changed when he saw the tail and ears on both of the girls.
"What the hell?"
"I'm thinking it's a new species that Dad never knew about. Maybe they're related to werewolves. Or they are werewolves."
"Whatever they are it's not human." Dean repositioned his duffel bag that was on his shoulder and looked ready for a fight.
"Are we gonna gank 'em?" The look on Dean's face told me the answer before he had to say it. "But they killed the vamp, they could be friendly."
"It doesn't matter. They're not human, Sam, they're monsters. Our job is to kill monsters."
"Before you knew what they were you weren't going to do anything. And we don't even know what they are!"
"That was different. They're monsters, it doesn't matter if we know what they are or not, monsters kill people Sam."
"So we're gonna kill them." I sighed knowing how stubborn Dean could be when it comes to monsters. "Alright then follow me." I let him fall into step behind me as I took him back the way I came, back to the girls motel room.
ADORA P.O.V.
Within a few minutes the motel staff brought up more towels for Danny which she used to dry off. We were now both dressed ready for sleep when there came a knock on the door. I waited a few seconds to see if the knock came from room service, but all I got back was another, loud, knock. I looked as Danny. "Did you order something?"
She shook her head, assuming the worst as hunters do Danny grabbed a knife and hid between the beds and the half-wall. I pulled a hat on to hide my ears and walked over to the door, gun in hand and opened it a crack. Just enough to see who was there yet not alert them to the gun in my hand ready to fire.
Standing on the front step were two heavenly good looking men. Their faces were unreadable and they looked suspicious to me. I kept the door closed as I asked them.
"Who are you?"
"Hunters." The shorter one replied with an evil smirk.
I knew by the look on his face that he'd seen what we were and was here to end our lives. Instinctively I tried to slam the door shut but he was ready and got his foot between the door. The door was shoved open with a shoulder and I was slammed against the wall. Danny heard the noise and came out wielding the knife, she engaged in battle with the taller hunter. I got up quickly and took the shorter hunters attention away from Danny. We fought for a long time each one trying to get the better of them and grab their gun.
I knocked the hunters hand away and put my gun to his head but he retailed by kneeing my gut. As I doubled over he grabbed at his chance and slammed my face hard onto the floor. From my position on the floor I could see Danny was having a hard time too. I decided to use our trump card and in a split second I whistled to Danny then we both changed into wolves.
In wolf form we could kick ass while remaining agile. Immediately I jumped onto the hunter attacking me and clamped my mouth around his neck, I felt blood drip onto my tongue as he yelled and tried to throw me off.
The one thing about Danny and I is that we had one hell of a grip, and we never let go. "DEAN!" I faintly heard the other hunter yell as he ran from Danny to the hunter I had in my jaws. With four hands trying to pry me off the hunter named Dean I had no choice but to let go.
I jumped to the ground in front of Danny who was panting but still ready to fight. Both of us showed our teeth and growled menacingly at them. Dean was holding his neck where I bit him while the taller hunter had his knife in hand standing between us and Dean.
His eyes showed the fear and anger of an animal trapped and defending itself. I wasn't fooled though. These hunters came to us, they wanted a fight and I was going to teach them a lesson. Before I could lunge at them though Danny's shoulder bumped with mine. She looked at me and her red eyes told me to retreat.
These hunters were strong and well prepared to have found us and held on for so long against us. I knew that Danny would never let me hear the end of it if I continued the fight and got one of us fatally injured. There was no reason risking our lives in a fight with them. We've run our whole life from hunters and though there comes a time when we can't run anymore that time was a long way away. If we knew anything it was how to lay low. So I agreed with her for now and we both turned around and ran straight through the motel window.
We landed outside between two motel rooms not missing a beat as our legs took us far away from there. It didn't matter what we left behind, we never carried forms of I.D., unless they were fake, all we had was guns and knives for every supernatural creature out there.
Danny and I kept running until morning came, even then we trotted along never looking back.
