Jacob said goodbye about a half hour later and I went back out into the yard. The clothes were dry so I put them inside; I'd give them a good wash later.
Then, nothing left to do, I decided to walk over to Emily's. I walked slowly, taking in the fresh air and the forest scene.
I was about to step onto Emily's porch when a sudden high pitched yelping rent the air. The yelps turned to screams in my head and I turned to look at the forest. One of the pack was in trouble.
Emily came running out of the house.
"What was that, I heard yelping," she said.
"Emily get back inside and lock the door," I said taking off my clothes.
She did as I told her and the door closed behind me and I heard the lock click. I ran into the forest and fazed mid leap. I ran, not knowing where I was going but hoping for the best. I stopped for a moment and listened.
The yelping had stopped, fear coursed through me, was whoever had been screaming ok?!
I tore off in the direction I had heard the yelping, praying I would get there in time. I heard a scream, a human scream, but it wasn't in my mind. Whoever was hurt or being attacked had fazed back. I ran faster, bounding over leaves and sticks. What exactly I would do if something that I couldn't take down was attacking the other member of the pack, I had no idea, but I didn't know if anyone else had heard. Another scream came from just in front of me and I slowed down.
I walked slowly and came to a small clearing encircled by large trees. Emma was on the ground naked and bleeding from a huge gash running across her hip and half way down her thigh, she whimpered in pain as I walked towards her.
Emma, what did it, where is it, I asked.
"Vampire," she whispered, "It went off towards the reservation, I couldn't stop it, she was too fast and then she got my hip. I'll stop her, don't worry about it."
You can't kill a vampire in that state! Get on, I said laying down so she could climb on. She got on rather grudgingly and held on tight.
I stood and ran towards the reservation as fast as I could thinking if the vampire got back before me, if it could do this much damage to Emma, what could it do if it got to Emily. And then a sudden rancid smell wafted into my nostrils. It smelt like something was rotting, but the smell was layered with a sickly flowered perfume. I stopped in my tracks and a beautiful woman stepped out from behind a tree. I say beautiful because had she not had blood dripping from her fingertips and streaked across her blouse, that's what she would have been. I felt Emma loosen her grip and then she leapt off my back, flying over my head, and fazing in midair. She went straight for the woman who didn't even flinch, but just stood there, a wicked smile on her face. I didn't know what to do, but it seemed my wolf did because without knowing I had moved; I had run at the woman too.
The woman raised a hand, grabbing a handful of Emma's fur and threw her up against a tree. I dodged her other hand and clamped my jaw down on her arm. I threw her like a rag doll and she hit a tree, but her arm was still in my mouth. I spit it out disgusted and stomped on it. It shattered like glass, and I looked up at the woman just in time to see her fly at me at top speed. She leapt onto my back and dug her nails into the skin. I yelped and tried to throw her off but my attempts made her cling on harder and the pain mounted. An idea struck me and I jumped into the air and came down hard on my back crushing her underneath me. Pain shot through my back but it wasn't broken, thank God. I rolled over and stood over the woman, lying on her back her hip stuck up at weird angle. She looked at me fear in her eyes.
"Arianna, kill it! KILL IT!" screamed Emma trying to get up, but the gash was not finished healing and she staggered. I looked down at the woman and growled. I felt my wolf take over and I clamped down on her head and tore it off; a faint hissing sound like a hot kettle on the stove and then silence.
I spit out the head and then I heard voices, There over there, I can see Arianna, and, Emma!
I stood there as the rest of the pack came running towards us.
Sam bent first over the vampire's body then looked at Emma and then me.
Did you kill it? he asked.
Yes, Sam, I think I'm going to throw up, I said.
Jacob came over and brushed his shoulder against mine, You ok, he asked and then he spotted the marks on my back from the vampires nails.
It was hard to miss as Jacob was taller than me even in this form.
Sam, she needs to be seen by Burdette, he said.
Sam nodded.
What I wanted was to go be sick. I moved off towards the woods, past Paul who was bending over Emma, and fazed behind a tree. And then I started to retched. A warm hand pulled my hair back out of my face, but I didn't look up, I was still throwing up. I didn't stop until I was dry heaving and started feeling dizzy from lack of air.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and stood up. Jacob was behind me and he steadied me with a hand on my arm as I swayed on the spot. I didn't even care that he was seeing me naked; I just wanted to lie down.
"Come on," he said, "We need to get you to Burdette."
I nodded but stopped because it made me even dizzier. We both fazed again and walked back to the pack.
Sam, I'm taking her to Burdette said Jacob.
Ok, we'll clean up here, said Sam.
Jacob led me back to the reservation and as we walked the pain in my back seemed to get worse.
What did he mean by clean up? Can't they just bury the body? I asked.
No, you have to burn the body of a vampire or else it will slowly reform and be as good as new in no time. So they'll set a fire and burn the parts and then Paul will take Emma to Burdette too. He said.
She didn't want my help, she said she could kill it herself, I said.
Emma is like that, don't take it personally. You've never killed a vampire before and it got the best of her and you were the one to kill it, he said, with a bark of laughter, She'll be furious!
Great! I said rolling my eyes.
How are you feeling? Still dizzy? He asked.
Yeah, and my back hurts like hell. When the bitch jumped on my back I couldn't get her off so I jumped into the air and landed on my back. It crushed her but it almost broke my spine! I said, wincing as I tried to turn my head to look at my injuries.
Wow, nice one, said Jacob appreciatively.
