Brigitte Snaps

by Kount Xero

AU/what if. Brigitte and Sam pick up the pieces, but their shared past won't leave them alone. Jason McCardy has gone missing - could there be another wolf on the loose? Sequel to After Ginger Snaps. Swearing and violence. Please read and review.

25. Creative Bruisers

Brigitte spends the next day in some sort of a sensory contradiction. The onset of what she knows is a cold makes her ache, and cancels out her cramps. That's good, but her fatigue is considerable, and it isn't helped by the regular gauntlet she runs just to get to her books, and her aching is cancelled out by actual pain.

There are some creative bruisers out there today, who saw fit to hang bloodstained dog collars from her locker. The blood is still fresh, it pools on the floor, by her shoes. Brigitte counts the collars. Five in total, without the one she saw yesterday, which makes it to an even six.

Having such aggressors is good, Brigitte decides, because she can keep count without having to go out and check every house, news bulletin and newscast herself.
