Chapter Nine

Andrew stopped over a creek and looked down at his reflection. His blood red eyes seemed empty, like he was loosing his self. He looked over to see Jade and Tori resting next to some rocks. Beyond them Jordan and Quincy were there looking out around the woods. Jordan slowly curled into a ball and fell asleep next to Quincy as he sat on his haunches and looked into the woods.

Andrew wanted the last Lycan for himself, it took his mate from him. He looked at himself again and slowly crossed the creek and moved over to a rock. He climbed onto it and sat down and looked in the woods with Quincy. They were going to keep watch so the women could sleep. They had been on the Lycan's trail for almost twenty days. It hadn't claimed anymore humans and they had gotten close a few times. Somehow it kept eluding them. They knew it was still wounded with a few silver bullets in it, making it weaker but far more dangerous.

"I love you…stick…stick to the plan" Andrew heard Alexis' voice say in his head. Hearing her voice again made him angry and his blood was slowly boiling. His mate, for almost two hundred years they had been by each other's sides. He lowered his head as a soft whimper escaped his lips. His black fur kicked up as a soft breeze blew by. He looked back over his shoulder as the sun hid behind the clouds casting the shadow over them. Looking to his right he saw Jade walk up to him and sit next to him.

He growled a bit causing her to look up at him. He bared his teeth slightly but soon his eyes lifted up to see Quincy looking at him. Thus he calmed down and looked back out into the woods. He knew Quincy could kill him, he was the strongest thanks to him being a hybrid. But it was only Andrew's experience that kept him alive and unchallenged by the hybrid. His ruby eyes locked with Jade's sapphire eyes. Slowly she got up and moved back over to Tori and together they laid down curling their bodies around one another.

He uttered a soft growl as he looked at them and then to Quincy and Jordan. They still had their mates, they were still together. He lost his mate, he was alone, and he will never have another. He lowered his head and closed his eyes as he thought to when they met, and they loved they shared over the centuries. He slowly opened his eyes, flashes of her still filled his vision before it was gone. The others needed to know his suffering, the others needed to feel this pain. He looked over at Jordan as she slept peacefully next to Quincy, she was going to be his first target, and as soon as Quincy wasn't watching he was going to get her.

Suddenly a powerful roar followed by a few screams made all their heads perk up. It was the Lycan, and it was very close. Andrew's eyes darkened with hatred as he looked into the woods. He let out a soft bark so as not to alert the Lycan they were close. Together the five of them bounded in the direction of the roar. Andrew led the charge, his legs pumping fast, vengeance and hatred flooded his veins. His nose picked up the scent of freshly spilt blood and his legs pumped faster. He saw a wall of brush in front of him and with a thunderous bark he bounded through it.

He landed on all four paws and skidded to a halt and looked around. His eyes fell onto a destroyed campsite. He slowly walked forward only glancing back to see the rest of the group walking out of the brush. They looked at the scene before them. The tents had been ripped up, claw marks and blood were on the sides of them. A still smoldering fire sent smoke into the air. Around the campsite blood painted the green grass, shreds of flesh and shards of bone littered the ground. As they walked forward they could see organs and the top half of a man laying on the ground. Most of the flesh on his chest and arms had been stripped away. They knew that the person who had screamed had come back to this.

Andrew stopped dead in his tracks and looked near his paws and he could see them. At least four silver slugs were laying on the ground. He knew with this meal the Lycan had healed. Suddenly there was a crashing to the groups right and they readied themselves for a fight. Just then a bloodied and injured woman staggered out of the bushes. Her hand was up on her left shoulder and blood was seeping out between her fingers. She looked back into the woods turning around and watching for a few seconds. She never noticed the five Skin Walkers looking at her.

Andrew watched her like a hawk, studying her, waiting to see what injured her. Slowly she turned around, she removed her hand and looked to the wounds. Andrew saw it, it was a bite mark, she had been bitten. He barked loudly making the woman look up at them. She screamed as she staggered backwards, and tripped over a rock. She looked as Andrew slowly walked towards her. His head was low and his back arched high, as he growled venomously at the woman. Like a bolt of lighting he shot forward with a loud snarl. His teeth sunk deep into her throat severing her vocal cords before she could scream.

He shook his head violently sending blood splashing across the ground. His paw came down pinning her to the ground as he ripped his head up, pulling out her soft throat. Blood gushed out from the wound as she choked and coughed for air. Slowly she died causing Andrew to look at her. He walked around her body and looked down at her. Suddenly he shot down gripping her head in his mouth and began to slam her body around like a rag doll. He bounced her body off the ground and quickly spun around throwing her body through the air. He looked as she slammed into a tree impaling her on a branch.

Jordan walked forward and looked at him as he then started attacking the campsite. She glanced back to Jade and Tori as they slowly backed up and looked on. She moved forward and barked at him making him stop and look at her. Suddenly he shot forward, his teeth sinking into her shoulder muscles as pinned her to the ground. He shook his head violently ripping his teeth deeper into her flesh causing her to yelp out in pain. Just then a clawed hand smacked him across the face knocking him free of her. He rolled across the ground, legs kicking in the air before he rolled onto his feet. He looked to see Quincy standing over her, growling deeply as he stood on his hind legs. He looked as Jordan got up and limped over to Jade and Tori.

His attention turned back to Quincy as he dropped back on all fours and walked up to him. He walked forward, both growling as their faces were inches apart. Their teeth bared as their eyes locked. Andrew snorted quickly as he backed up and turned and ran off into the woods. Quincy didn't follow instead he watched as Andrew stopped and looked back at them and then quickly ran back to the woods. He turned and looked at Jordan as she staggered next to Jade and Tori. Turning around he walked over to join them as Jade and Toei led the way through the woods they knew. Stopping if only for a few seconds he looked back to where Andrew had disappeared at. Slowly he lowered his head, a soft whimper came from him. The pack was destroyed, and now Andrew had gone rogue, he needed to be put down like the Lycan and the Vipers.

(Eleven Days Later)

David looked over to Beck as he sat at the kitchen table, across from them was Jeff, formally Fer-De-Lance. He looked at them both as the three of them sat around the table. It was uneasy for them, Jeff once had a hand in Holly's death but it was shown he had a hand in Gaboon's death. He later found out the his mentor and trainer was Copperhead, John.

"Ok, the black wolf, Andrew lost his mate what does that mean?" Beck asked looking at him.

"He will go rogue and hunt down whoever or whatever killed her. Anything that gets in his way will be killed. After that, he will either leave and go off somewhere to be alone for the rest of his life. Or he will go on a rampage" Jeff said looking at them. "He will never claim another mate, he'll be alone forever."

David looked down as he thought about what the former Viper said to him. His mind was racing, thinking about what could happen. He looked over to Beck who also seemed to be thinking about it. If Andrew was to go on a rampage through downtown LA a lot of people will die. Not as much as the Lycan infestation but still enough. He looked back up to Jeff as he stood up and walked out onto the back porch. Both Beck and David got up and followed him. He lit a cigarette and breathed out the smoke as he looked at both of them.

"The Skin Walker isn't the big problem" Jeff said looking out into the woods.

"What is?" David asked looking at him.

"Vipers, all three of us know to much, that makes up a problem for them. They will kill us as soon as they get a chance" Jeff said looking to them.

"How many are there?" David asked as he looked over to Beck.

"Forty, it's the last of them. Black Mamba ran everything, Gaboon answered to him. The ten we had when we came here five years ago, they were the best. Now Black Mamba brought the rest of them to end everything. He wants the last five werewolves dead, and us three" Jeff explained looking at both of them. He watched as they both were in thought thinking about what he had just told them. He lowered his head thinking too. "It's funny isn't it?"

"What is?" Beck asked confused.

"The Vipers hunt what they deem as monsters. In they end they are showing true human nature to destroy. We are the real monsters" He said as he looked at them both.

They nodded in agreement and all three of them knew full well that human nature had an ugly way of showing itself. They looked at one another before their attention was caught by a rustling coming from the woods. They looked as the bushes parted and a nude Jade and Tori walked out followed by two others. David ran down the porch and ran at Tori as she ran to him. He threw his arms around her and held her tightly, happy and relived that she was alive. He looked over and opened his arm up and gathered Jade too. He hugged them both tightly glad to have them back and alive.

He led them and the other two up the steps to the house. Jade and Tori covered themselves with their hands until Beck walked down carrying four towels. He passed one to all four of them and turned around at they wrapped themselves up. They started up the steps but both Jade and Tori quickly stopped when they saw Jeff standing there looking at them.

"What the fuck is he doing here?" Jade snarled as she pulled Tori close. She looked back to Quincy and Jordan as they too glared at the man. They looked at him as he slowly walked down the steps and looked at all of them.

"Relax, I'm on your side now" he said looking at them. He looked at each of them before letting out a soft sigh, knowing they wont trust him very easily. "I'm Jeff, and I know each of you, Jade Tori, Quincy, and Jordan. Quincy and Jordan, I know you two escaped from a Vipers' facility in northern Canada."

Jade and Tori looked back at them as Quincy put his arm around her and they pushed back the memory. Together they looked back to Jeff who was looking at them.

"And why the fuck should we trust you?" Quincy asked looking at him.

Jeff looked at him as he reached up and pulled the shirt down over his left shoulder. They looked at a bullet scar was shown on his shoulder. They looked at the pink scar tissue as he pulled his shirt back up. "Before that happened I couldn't be trusted, but because I wanted to stop an outbreak that made me a traitor. JT sent by Black Mamba tried to kill me, all he did was succeed in wounding me and pissing me off. I was betrayed by the group I was working for the do what I thought was protecting humans."

Jade eyed him for a few seconds before she looked over to Tori. Tori thought about what Jeff had told them. Slowly she looked back to Jordan and Quincy and nodded slightly. She then looked to Jade and nodded to her too. Jade nodded back and leaned over and kissed her. Together they walked up the steps and into the house. David showed Quincy and Jordan to a room where they could get some of his and Holly's old clothes. Jade and Tori walked up into the guest room of the house. They looked to see the kids clothes and bag sitting on the floor next to the bed. They smiled and looked to see in the bag they had thought ahead. Inside was a change of clothes for both of them. They dressed and looked at each other before they threw their arms around one another.

"What if Andrew comes after us, I mean we didn't beat him the first time we faced him" Jade said softly into Tori's ear.

"We will, we weren't ready for him the last time, we are now" she said softly as she stroked the back of Jade's head. They walked back out the room and walked to the living room. Everyone stood around waiting for them. Tori held Jade's hand and looked at them as they looked at them. "So, we need to find Andrew, he ran off after we found a destroyed campsite. That wasn't before he killed an infected woman" Tori said looking at them.

"No" Jeff said making everyone look at him.

"What, why?" Tori asked looking at him.

"Because we can't find him, we know where the Vipers are…well I know. They are the immediate threat to us seven right now" Jeff said as he looked around at them all.

"Ok, so you know what they are planning?" David asked looking at him.

"No, but we keep records of our plans on a computer system. We would need to hack it and figure things out. After that we hit them and hit them hard, we go on the offensive the day before the next full moon, when you four are at your strongest" he explained looking at Jade, Tori, Quincy, and Jordan.

Jade was thinking to herself from the time he mentioned hacking. Her mind jumped and it jumped to one person, Ruth. Her student the one who was helping them, unseen by all. She remembered from the night that Jeff had tried to attack them but instead filmed them. Her mind jumped to a few days after while she was in class. Somehow Ruth had hacked the Vipers and destroyed all video evidence of them changing. She smiled slightly as she looked to Tori who was looking to Jeff. Tori slowly looked over to her and saw the smile on her face causing her to shrug and wonder what she was thinking.

"I know who can help us" Jade said making everyone look at her.

Ruth sat in her living room playing Xbox live. She played Call Of Duty Black Ops laughing as she killed people. The game was over and so she smiled as she chose to stop playing. She got up and walked into the kitchen and made herself a sandwich and grabbed a soda. Her mother was at work so she had the place to herself. She walked back into the living room just as there was a knock at her door. She walked up to it and looked through the peephole. Her eyes widened and she quickly opened the door and looked to see Jade and Tori standing there looking at her. Behind them was a man she didn't know but she now knew Jade was still alive.

"Mrs. West, where have you been?" she asked as she let the three of them in.

"Running wild, Tori and I have been a wolf for the last month, we need your help" Jade said looking at her.

"Anything, name it" Ruth said looking at them.

"I need you to hack the Vipers' network, we need to know their plan of attack" Jade said looking at her.

"Those guys who had filmed you two?" she asked looking at them.

"Yes, I used to be part of them, all I need you to do is get in and I know what I'm looking for" the man said making her look at him.

"I can do them" she said walking over to the kitchen table. She motioned them to follow her. Opening her laptop she looked as the screen came to life.

Jade and Tori sat at the table next to one another. Jade sat there looking at her ring as it glistened in the light. She looked at it before Tori's hand covered it up and took her hand in hers. She looked over to Tori and smiled at her as she slowly leaned over and tipped her head onto Tori's shoulder. They looked as Ruth worked like a mad woman on the computer. Just then she clapped her hands together and looked back to Jeff who was standing behind her.

"I'm in" she said looking at him.

"Ok, I'll take it from here" he said as he pulled out a flash drive and sat at the computer.

Black Mamba stood in the main room of the Vipers' headquarters. He looked over to the vipers as they looked the map of the city over. They were planning their next attack, and he knew he needed to get Fer-De-Lance. The former Viper was now his greatest threat, he had another Copperhead on his hands. That Viper would have been trouble for them if Rattler hadn't of killed him. Now that he was here and he had a chance to kill him and keep the Vipers hidden. Suddenly alarms started blaring and he looked as a woman ran over to a computer and opened a laptop.

"What's going on?" he asked looking at the woman.

"We're being hacked again" she said looking at him.

"Run a trace" he ordered.

He looked at her as she nodded and started working on the computer. She quickly worked on it her eyes shooting over the screen. He watched as he hands moved quickly over the keyboard. He shook his head slightly as he hands were a blur with speed. He knew he could never do that, he was far better with a gun than a computer. He looked at her as she looked over the codes as they popped up.

"Got a location" she said throwing it up on the big screen.

He walked forward and looked at the screen as a small smile crawled across his face. He opened his jacket and pulled his pistol out. He checked it quickly before turning around and looking to the Vipers in the room. "Team one with me, we are going after whoever this is" he ordered walking out of the room.

Ruth went out on a ride, her small dog yelped as it ran beside her. She smiled as she looked down to the dog who was running beside her. She turned her bike around and made her way back to the house. She thought of how happy she was to have seen Jade, and on top of that her favorite singer in her house. That man though was something she wasn't sure about but he knew his way around the Vipers' system. That's when it hit her, that man was a Viper…but she wasn't sure why he was helping them. She parked her bike outside of her house and looked as she chained it up. She walked into the apartment building, tugging on the leash to bring the dog with her. They walked up the steps until they were outside of her place. She opened the door and walked in.

"Mommy I'm home" she called.

"In the kitchen Ruth, come in here" she herd her mother call.

She walked towards the kitchen, the doorway coming into sight. She looked at her mother who looked at her. She noticed her mother looked worried or scared and so she slowly walked into the kitchen. She then stopped dead in her tracks and looked to see a man sitting at the kitchen table. Behind him were three men each held an assault rifle and looked at her. The man stood up and she looked at his well pressed suit.

"Please, sit with us" he said motioning to the seat he was just in.

She nodded and walked over to the table and sat down across from her mother. She looked at her mother who looked back at her. The man walked around the Table and pulled up another chair and sat at the table on Ruth's left hand side. He looked at both of them before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He placed one in his mouth and then offered one to her mother. She just shook her head and he shrugged as he lit it and placed the pack back into his suit. He took a drag on it and looked at both of them as they sat there.

"So I'm guessing you two are wondering who I am" he said as he flicked his ash into a cup.

"Yes, we are" her mother said looking to him and with a nervous tone.

"Well you two can call me Black Mamba, and I am the leader of a secret society" he said as he folded his hands in front of himself.

"A secret society of what?" her mother asked in a somewhat shaky tone.

"Tell me Linda, what do you know of werewolves" he said looking over to her.

"Werewolves, only what I've seen in the movies" she said looking at him confused.

Ruth on the other hand was tense, she now knew why they were here. She looked as Black Mamba stood up and turned his back to them. He let out a sigh and walked over to the counter. He placed his hands on the counter and lowered his head. She looked back to her mother who was looking at her. She could see it in her eyes, she knew Ruth was hiding something but instead she shook her head telling her to be quiet. Just then Black Mamba started laughing making them both look over to him. His head was lowered and his laugher was deeper.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FUCKING HIDING" He screamed as he slammed his hands down on the table making them both jump. His eyes were full of anger and they were focused on Linda. "WHY ARE YOU FUCKING HELPING THOSE MONSTERS?"

"What are you talking about?" she questioned in a scared voice as she looked at him.

"You're good, I mean you are fucking good" he said pointing at her as he walked over to the other three men. He reached out and took a hammer from one of them and walked back around to Linda. He motioned two of the men to help him. He looked as on went on each side of her. She looked at them as they looked to Black Mamba. He nodded and in a flash they quickly grabbed her arms and pinned her hands to the table.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" she screamed looking at them. Her eyes fell onto Ruth as tears fell from her eyes, scared of what they are going to do.

"Where are the Skin Walkers?" he asked looking at her.

"What the hell is a Skin Walker?" she asked looking at him, voice breaking out of fear.

"Wrong answer" he snarled at her. He raised the hammer and in a flash he brought it down on her thumb finger. She screamed out in pain, blood gushed out of her thumb and across the table and her hand. Her head dropped down and her body started to tremble as she breathed through her teeth. He looked down at her as he pulled the hammer back. He asked her again and again she didn't know what he was talking about. Bringing the hammer back he brought it down again striking the middle of her index finger, crushing it like her thumb.

"GOD I DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANYTHING" she screamed as she looked at her bloody finger.

Ruth looked at him as he glared at her. He quickly backhanded her making her scream out in pain. She started to tremble in fear as she looked on at the attack on her mother. Tears flowed from her eyes as the man looked at her. He raised the hammer up ready to strike another blow. Ruth knew she needed to do something. He started to swing the hammer at her mother's next finger. "STOP" she screamed out. She looked as the hammer stopped just centimeters from her knuckle. Black Mamba looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "She's not the one helping them, I am" Ruth said tears rolling from her eyes

"You?" Black Mamba asked in a shocked tone. He stood up and looked around at the other three who were there looking at her. "You mean to tell me the threat to our systems was a GOD DAMNED TEN YEAR OLD GIRL" he roared looking at them all. He reached into his holster and pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Ruth. Just then some how her mother broke free and tried to attack him. He saw it and quickly turned the pistol on her. He fired a shot and the bullet slammed into her head, killing her instantly.

"MOMMY" Ruth screamed as she watched her mother fell to the floor.

"YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH RIGHT NOW" he screamed at her as he turned the gun on her.

Suddenly gunfire erupted from inside the house. He looked around to see the three vipers fall to the ground dead, leaving him alive. He looked as out of the shadows Jeff walked clutching a pistol. In a flash they both had their pistols pointed at one another. Jeff moved himself over to Ruth's side, all the while never taking the gun off of him. Black Mamba looked at him, his pistol was trained Jeff as was Jeff's on him.

"Been a while hasn't it" Jeff said looking at him.

"Yeah it has been, what are you doing here?" Black Mamba hissed looking at him.

"To end you, and the Vipers" Jeff said as he pulled the hammer back on his revolver.

"Oh you did and why would you do that we are ridding the world of werewolves" Black Mamba said with a smirk.

"Yes we were killing werewolves, but you Gaboon, and Rattler kill innocent humans. We aren't supposed to kill humans we are supposed to kill werewolves. And even then just the ones who need to die, like Lycans. We are the monsters, look at what we do to our own kind" Jeff growled looking at him. He looked as Black Mamba lowered the gun and looked down. Slowly Jeff lowered his pistol and looked as Black Mamba looked over to Ruth's mom.

"Tell me something Fer-De-Lance, how much do you miss your family" Black Mamba asked glancing to him.

"More then anything" Jeff said looking at him.

"Then join them" Black Mamba said as he quickly snapped his pistol up. Before Jeff could move the gun fired. The bullet ripped into Jeff's chest knocking him to the ground. Blood pooled around his body as Black Mamba walked up and looked at Ruth. He smiled at her as he turned the gun on her.

She closed her eyes tightly and waited, knowing this was the end of her. The gunshot rang out causing her to flinch. She sat there for a few seconds waiting to die before she slowly opened her eyes. She looked to see there was no wound in her, so she slowly looked up to Black Mamba. He was still holding the pistol pointed at her. Slowly his arm fell to his side as his head slowly looked down at his chest. Blood started to stain his white shirt as he looked at a bloody and ragged hole. She looked down to see Jeff with blood around him. His revolver was smoking and they both looked as Black Mamba staggered backwards until his back was against a wall. Slowly he slid down until he was sitting on the floor. They looked at one another as they sat there.

"Funny isn't it" Black Mamba said weakly.

"What is?" Jeff said in a raspy tone, blood dripping from his mouth as his hand fell weakly next to him.

"That I had always thought I would die in the mouth of a werewolf. Instead I was killed by a man who I worked with" Black Mamba said. He looked as both Ruth and Jeff looked at him. He sat there looking at them as he slowly looked down to his pistol as he lost control of his hand. It fell to the floor and the gun clattered to the floor. He looked down at his wound before his head started dangling. He breathed out a final breath as blood slowly dripped from his lips.

"Is…is he dead?" Ruth asked Jeff.

"Yeah, and I will be too very soon" he said looking back up to her. He reached into the pocket of his shirt and pulled out a card and handed it to her. "Call this man he will help you."

She reached down and took the card and looked at it before looking to him. He smiled weakly before his eyes closed. His head tipped back and to the left as a final breath escaped his lips. Ruth sat there alone in a room full of dead people. She was in shock and she slowly started shaking as she turned the card over David Vega she thought to herself before she grabbed her cell phone.

Jade stood in the kitchen sipping some coffee as she looked at the children coloring. She smiled as she walked over and gently rubbed their heads making them smile at her. She slowly looked over to the island and looked at the flash drive sitting there. Jeff had given her it as well as a plan of attack before he left. She walked over to it and picked it up and looked at it. On it she saw the Vipers' insignia. She still had a hard time trusting the former Viper, he was there when Holly died. She heard a knocking at the front door and slowly she turned and walked to it. She opened the door and looked to see David standing there. In front of him was Ruth, and she was wrapped up in a blanket shaking violently.

"Tori, come here" she called back into the house. She turned and looked to see Tori walking into the room from the bedroom. She saw her dad and Ruth standing there at the front door. She quickly darted forward and helped Ruth into the house. Jade looked at her as she ushered her into the kitchen.

"David what happened?" Jade asked looking at her father in-law.

"Vipers, Black Mamba showed up and killed her mother" David said looking at her as she seemed to flush with anger.

"How did she survive?" Jade questioned looking back into the house.

"Jeff, he showed up and killed them, and then he and Black Mamba killed one another" he said looking at her. "Can you two take her in?"

"Yeah, no problem" she said with a nod.

"We are fucked, our man for hitting the Vipers is now dead" David said with a sigh as he rested on the doorframe.

"Not fully, he left us with a little gift" she said as she held up the flash drive and smiled slightly as she looked at him.
