AN: Hey guys sorry for not posting lately, I was busy with finals. But I should have more time on my hands now its summer. Depends on whether I get that job or not. Thanks for the review guys, for you guys I'm splitting up this chapter so it's not rushed and has all the detail it needs. Thanks~
"I don't get it. Why do we have to listen to everything she says?" David muttered, angrily kicking a rock towards the trees.
"Because she's our alpha." Quinn answered, not even looking up from the fire she was making. She sat back down next to Rachel on the log once she was done. Rachel snuggled closer when David let out a loud disturbing growl.
"She's only our alpha because she was Carl's beta before he was stupid enough to get killed by one of those villagers." David kicked another rock, letting out another loud growl.
"I know man. She wasn't even a good beta." Azimio stated from where he was leaning against a tree.
"C'mon guys she's not that bad." Artie piped up from the other side of Rachel, "And keep it down - she's coming back from the lake soon."
David whipped around to face Artie, harsh words already on his tongue when he heard the familiar snap of a change. Emma appeared through the trees a few seconds after, with fresh fish in the basket she had took with her when she went fishing.
"Anyone care to explain the bloody paw prints I saw coming from the farm area to the river?" Emma set down the basket pointedly and looked at David and Azimio. The latter finding the ground very interesting.
"Yeah, we went and ate a cow." Challenge colored his voice as David stared Emma down.
"You what?" Rachel and Quinn both jumped to a standing position at Emma's yelp. "I told not to kill any more of those animals."
"Yeah well we're tired of having to listen to you. Just 'cause Carl died doesn't make you alpha. I'm sick of listening to your stupid rules, it's against my instinct." David spat as he stepped closer to a wide eyed Emma.
"You don't have to listen to your nature. Look at Blaine for instance, he doesn't feel the need to kill everything like you do." Emma realized her mistake too late as she watched David as his eyes changed into a bright red and she shrunk back in horror as the crack of a change rang out. He leapt at her, her neck snapping with a sickening crunch under his heavy paws.
The silence that had fallen over them briefly fell over them was broken when Rachel let out a deep sob. She was unable to look away from the small crumpled body of their alpha. Rachel let out another sob as Quinn wrapped her arms around her, leading her away.
Artie let out a shaky breath when David turned his red eyes on him, letting out a grunt before running off into the trees. Azimio choose this time to push away from the tree he was leaning on. "Were going to finish some business on the farm." he barked glaring at him as if daring Artie to say otherwise. "You best be gone if you don't like how we're going to run things." Azimio shifted into a wolf running into the forest to catch up with David.
'Too late to leave tonight. I'll leave early tomorrow, see if Quinn and Rachel will come with me.' Artie thought going over to Emma's body. Looking sadly down at her he bent down to close her fearful eyes. "I'm sorry it ended like this."
"Be careful setting up those traps." Kurt said as he walked along the road with Burt, who was fiddling with a trap.
"Don't worry kid. I've set hundreds of these and I've never had a problem." Burt gave Kurt an amused smile, letting out a chuckle. "Guess you get that from me."
Kurt returned the amused smile as they entered town square. He spotted Mercedes, waving to her when she spotted him back. "Love you dad." Kurt said, giving his dad a one armed hug and no time to say it back before he'd sprinted off. Kurt rushed over to Mercedes, waiting along with her for instructions as to what they'd be decorating.
Blaine walked down the steps of the inn into the small sitting area with a large yawn. He rubbed tiredly at his eyes as he staggered over to where Santana was already seated, eyeing her nails with a bored expression. Mike was already talking to a worried looking Terri.
"Morning hobbit." Santana drawled, smirking lazily as Blaine plopped down into the seat across from her. He rested his head on his arms and let out a small groan. "No sleep?" she said, knowing-ness laced through the question.
"God Santana, how could I? Kurt looked at me last night, the real me. I need to talk to him today." Blaine stated, a smile pulling at his lips as he thought about how good Kurt looked in his dark red cloak.
"Mhm. What was up with that surprised look he gave you?" Santana raised an eyebrow at him, wondering if they meet before or something. Blaine whipped his head up from his arms, a panicked look spreading across his features.
"I have no idea. I've never met him like this before yesterday. Do you think that look meant something bad?" Blaine's voice grew slightly panicked.
"Of course not Blaine." Mike said as he joined the other two at their table, having caught the last part of the conversation. He gave Blaine an amused smile before Blaine let out a huge sigh, settling his head back down onto his arms. "Terri says that Will never came by earlier. She said she never saw him last night for supper." Mike explained casting a worried glance at Terri's back.
"Maybe he just didn't want to come by after the way she was talking to him yesterday." Blaine suggested, raising an eyebrow as they recalled how Terri had acted about the cow.
"Let's hope that those idiots didn't do something." Santana said, lightly punching Blaine in the arm when he was going to say something more on the subject. She nodded her head to where Terri was coming over with their breakfast.
Kurt stood up on the wooden chair wobbling slightly before Mercedes held onto his legs for balance. "Careful boo." she said watching as he tied the end of flowered string to the nail already placed into the building from previous years.
"I am Mercedes." Kurt replied glancing down at her to give her a bright smile before going back to the task at hand.
"I'm just saying boo. I'd hate for that pretty face to get all dirtied up." Mercedes gave him a once over, laughing at the blush that covered his cheeks.
"Mercedes!" Kurt laughed as he finished hanging his side of the banner. He got down quickly with a hand from Mercedes both still giggling quietly.
