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.

"Brigitte Snaps"

35. The Encounter, II

A gunshot explodes and the sound scatters in the wind, thinned by the openness of the area. The lycanthrope shifts, head snaps up and eyes fix dead on the source of this strange noise. Brigitte feels the paralysis lift, partially, and she gets on her elbows and starts to crawl out from underneath it.

The beast casually raises a front paw and places it square in the center of her chest – the pressure elicits a painful yelp from her, and she is stilled.

"Let her go!"

Brigitte tries to move. She can't. The beast tenses up, and Brigitte feels the weight on her chest lessen. Whoever her savior is, he's about to go down with this act, so she screams as loud as she can,

"Watch out!"
