Chapter 25

The creature's fur smelt like vomit and burnt wood as it held Luna above it's jaws. She growled out to it, baring her own fangs and kicking up at it's face. Her foot made contact with its jaw, snapping the mouth closed. The Two Foot howled and flung her across the warehouse, smashing her into more barrels of gasoline. She suddenly had an idea.

She took the gun that was strapped to her leg and poured bullets into the canisters, spilling out oil all over the ground. The Two Foot charged for her, quickly she moved out of the way, letting the thing slip all over the ground before coming at her again.

She met it head on, tumbling it to the ground. She was strong, but Two Foots had that crazy animal instinct to kill, which gave them an advantage. They were not afraid to get hurt, they just wanted blood.

Luna avoided the snapping jaws of the creature, dodging it's every attempt to get at her while she searched for some kind of fire. She looked around the warehouse, trying to find something. Suddenly she slipped and the Two Foot was upon her. Luna wrestled with the creature, tangled in it's body, her breathe heaving in that disgusting smell when suddenly she spotted it.

A small lighter, shoved in the corner. She only prayed she could get to it and it would work. Luna snapped her mouth at the monster and slashed her claws into it's eyes.

It was just enough to wriggled out of it's embrace before she bolted for the lighter. A few snaps and a flame came to her. She smiled wickedly as she looked to the Two Foot.

"Your ass is cooked" she said flinging the lighter onto the oil that was splattered on the ground.

Instantly the oil was lighted up and burned feverishly across the warehouse, sending flames up against the walls and straight over to where the Two Foot stood, it's feet covered in the stuff.

The creature howled out as the flames engulfed it's feet as it struggled to get away from the flames. Luna watched it run around, sending fire to more of the warehouse that was beginning to flare up all around her. She had to get out, but she needed to end this.

She leaped for the Two Foot, grabbing a hold of it's neck, struggling as her knees tried to stay on the buckling creature. Her hands found it's jaws, getting a tight hold on them before she snapped them both back, crushing the Two Foot's skull, it's body falling to the ground in a lump.

Luna jumped back from the burning creature, satisfied with her kill before a bullet whizzed by her head. She jumped back, the smoke from the fire hazing out the entrance of the warehouse.

"You fucking little bitch!" a lesser screamed out as he snapped at bullets towards her. Luna tried to dodge him but a bullet sunk down into her arm. She screamed out in pain as her skin sizzled from the impact.

Silver. The bullets were fucking silver.

She was in trouble if this lesser decided to plug some more into her as she ducked down trying to find a way out. As far as she knew there was only one entrance at the front. A stairway led up to a second floor...maybe there was a window she would jump out of?

As Luna crawled along the floor the lesser kept shooting around. The building was starting to burn down, the flames reaching the roof as it creaked to cave in.

"Damn" the lesser said, his clip empty. Luna could hear him shuffling to get another as the flames snapped and popped around her. Outside people were yelling around, Luna only hoped someone would come for her. This was too heavy, the smoke blocking her view while the lesser had silver bullets.

This was her chance to move quickly since the lesser was distracted. She ran in the direction of the staircase and quickly started to crawl up it. The smoke had cleared though and the lesser spotted her as he ran for her, sending another bullet into her leg. Luna and the lesser made it to the second floor before the roof caved in near the entrance. The crowd outside showed bodies of lessers everywhere while the Brothers and wolfen stared up at her through the flames.

Another bullet whizzed by, hitting Luna square in the shoulder. She screamed, letting the anger build up inside of her. She was weak from the silver in her skin, her movements slow and groggy and she tried to find a way out.

"Fuck this" she thought and ran forward towards the lesser. The thing was caught off guard as he began spraying the air with bullets trying to hit her. But Luna had had enough. She tackled the lesser, sending her claws digging into the lesser's chest. His black oily blood coated her hands and arms as she sunk in deeper before she threw her arm back with the lesser's heart in her hands.

She held it up to everyone, letting them and Grandmother Moon see that she would not die without a fight, she would conquer her enemies through blood and pain. The heart beat against Luna's palm as her skin started to burn against all the flames around her.

Mayhem watched her from below, in awe at the raw power his mate was showing. Her face was splattered with blood, her legs and arms standing apart in a solid stand that said "Come for me I'm ready." Her wild red hair was flowing with the flames as her eyes bore down into the crowd. She was all animal in that moment.

Luna let out a deep howl that echoed out into the air. The wolfen joined in with her, letting their cries of bloodshed sound out through the city. As Luna dropped her palm a smile finally crested over her lips before a crack in the air sounded out. The lesser's arm dropped to his side finally as exhaustion took over from his last action. Mayhem didn't hear the crazed scream from his mouth as he watched with horror for those precious few seconds.

He saw the bullet wound buried in Luna's chest as she dropped from the second story and down into the flames.
