As we passed down the hallway I couldn't help but feel as if something was wrong. It was too quiet; we hadn't passed any guards since we were on the dance floor, which gave me the impression that the Calavera's were one step ahead. "Anyone else feel that sense of impending doom?" I asked nonchalantly, it meant to be sarcastic but with the response I got I could tell everyone was thinking the exact same as I was.
Kira, as per usual, shot me a look of panic; Scott gave me look that said 'shut up'; and Malia just shook her head, smiling a little bit at my hopeless joke. She walked alongside me, with Kira and Scott taking the lead in front of us. Casually, I swung my hand out at my side to catch hers, she almost jumped at the contact, (she was slightly nervous), and so I simply tightened my grip to give her my reassurance that she was safe with me. In honesty, I would never let anything happen to any of these guys, especially Malia.
Suddenly a new scent entered my nostrils, a powerful scent that almost had me churning. In quick succession, the floor was soon covered in thick smoke, a concentrated form of wolfsbane.
"Scott!" I shouted, keeling over, struggling to stay upright. I don't know why, but I always seemed to have stronger sense of smell than the others, whereas I was worst off with the hearing side of being a werewolf.
"Wolfsbane!" Scott quickly confirmed, bending down as it had the same effect on him. I felt Malia's grip on my hand falter as she dropped to the floor, dragging me down with her. "Kira, watch out!" Scott alerted her, (as she was the only person left unaffected by the fog), to a group of hunters passing around the corner. Running forward to them, she swung her nunchuks at the first hunter, who gracefully dodged it and replied with a hit to the face, knocking her to the floor.
Neither myself, Malia or Scott could fight back, we were all powerless, and soon to be dead for as long as we inhaled the wolfsbane. As one hunter kneeled down beside Kira, the other two that were approaching us moved aside to allow way for an older woman. She looked us over as she approached slowly, "Someone who's been an alpha for a few months should be more careful when facing a hunter of over 40 years!" She exclaimed, a mocking tone to her voice.
Clutching his throat as he struggled for breath, Scott replied, "all we want is Derek!"
"You're a long way from home!" The hunter teased, ignoring Scott's comments. I looked over to Malia on my right, reaching for her hand once again, this time, unable to find it. My hand hit the floor, scraped across it, and before I knew it I was flat on my face. All I could see was Malia, squirming for breath so desperately, and all I could hear was the smoke engulfing us.
"You don't know where he is either," I heard Scott proclaim, even though he was right next to me it sounded as if he were a mile away. The next sound I heard were the buzzing of electricity and the groans of Scott's pain, and my beta instincts kicked in, giving me a new surge of power. I felt my eyes glow, and my fingertips shift into claws as I shot around to the woman, diving in between Scott and the weapon. Immediately I was hit with the sizzling pain of electrocution as it travelled in waves throughout my body, paralysing me.
"Tyler, Tyler Hoyt," She said, my eyes widened as she spoke my name, "me and you need to have a little talk about something," with that said, she pulled the specialized baton away from my chest, and my body fell forward to the floor, still shaking slightly from the pain. "Take him to my office, the others go in the holding cell," She ordered her men as I felt a pair of arms link under my own. I could faintly feel my feet brushing against the floor, and the image of Malia and Scott slowly faded away.
The last thing I could hear before everything went dark was Malia screaming my name.
