The Call of the Moon
Chapter 4:
Kate and Castle were dragged in and tied to a chair next to one another.
« Don't move, Jake's coming. »
The writer and his muse exchanged glances, wondering who this Jake was. A few minutes later a muscular man walked into the room. His smell shocked Kate, who turned her head sharply toward him. No…He can't be a…The man, that Kate premused to be Jake, sniffed the air and then turned to Kate surprised but addressing a broad smile.
« They hire people like us now to the police? » He told Beckett. She gave a grunt instead of reply. Jake laughed.
« You could easily undo yourself from your bonds, you know? I don't see why you didn't try to escape. You could have kill Mike in two seconds. » He looked at Castle and smiled. « Oh I see, you don't whant youri boyfriend to know the truth. Hum…I understand. Don't worry, it's not like he was going out of here alive. »
« Don't touch him! » She cried growling, mad.
The men in the play were surprised by such a reaction, including Castle (especially Castle). Then understanding is read on Jake's face.
« Ohhh I get it! He is your imprint, isn't he? » He began to laugh. « Oh, it's going to be so fun! You see beauty, I didn't imprint ever, but I guess seeing him die…It's going to hurt a little bit, right? »
Kate couldn't answer. She was literally paralyzed by his rage and fear. Castle followed the exchange not understanding while Mike seemed more interested by his gun. Jake laughed again before sending Castle and caught him by the neck.
« Untie her. » He ordered to Mike who hastened to obey. « I advise you not to do anything at all darling, or I broke the neck of your boyfriend. » Jake threatened and he made a mocking smile that Kate dreamed of being able to snatch.
They went into the field behind the house. Jake turned to Mike. « Stay here with her. The slightest movement and you killed her. »
Mike nodded while Jake, along with Castle, withdrew from them. Fifty meters away, Castle pulled away and and struck Jake in the face. He barely moved while Castle thought to have a broken hand. He looked at Jake who watched him. His eyes were full of rage ans his body was shooking.
« Who do you think you are? Pathetic little human! You are nothing compared to me! » His grunts and tremors grew stronger and stronger. Castle drew back when he realized he was about to explode. He barely had time to do some steps back that Jake exploded and turned into huge gray wolf.
'Oh my God! It was not a drame' Castle thought shocked and frightened. When he saw the gray wolf, Jake, approached him threatening, he turned and ran.
« No! » cried Kate, who had seen it all. She gave a violent blow to Mike, who crashed against the wall and fell to the ground unconscious.
« Castle! » She shouted as she began to run towards him and to the wolf.
'Gog, she is crazy! » Castle thought « No Kate! Save yourself! » But she did not listen and continued to run towards them.
He litteraly fell shocking when she changed insu a huge brown wolf tearing her clothes and continued running tords him. Castle was now, on the ground between two giant wolves.
He closed his eyes, but opened them when he felt the brown wolf, Kate, jump over him to stand in front of the gray wolf, growling fiercely.
This is where Castle recognized the brown wolf. It was the same brown wolf who cave him of his two assailants that night. It was Kate who cave him. That explained everything. All the pieces came together in his head. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. He shook his head and then turned his attention to what was happening before him.
The two wolves growled at each other, circling in one direction and then in the other. They didn't stop looping at each other preparing to counter any attack from the other. Castle couldn't stop a faint cry of pain and surprise when he cut his hand on a piece of glass on the ground.
This forced Kate to turn her eyes toward him briefly. Jake took advantage immediatly.
He suddenly jumped over her and bit her in the neck. Kate let out a groan of pain and then gave him a violent blow of head forcing him to release his hold. They jumped on each other immediatly after. The battle raged. Kate dug her fangs into the leg of Jake. He groaned in pain and then pushed her away.
Then the wolves stopped moving and looked at each other. Then they changed into werewolf. They threw themselves upon one another immediately after the end of processing. The battle was more violent. Now in addition to biting and scratching, they were hitting and catch of all kinds
Jake was a strong and imposing werewolf but Kate was faster, more agile and above all, she knew very well how to fight. It did not take long for Jake to fallu on his knees back to her and in one swift motion, to break his neck.
Jake's body took human form and falls to the ground, naked and inert.
Castle didn't budge one bit, too shocked and scared to do anything at all. Finally Kate turned her big werewolf head toward him. Blue eyes met green light eyes. Seeing his expression, she sighed and then slowly approached him. Castle, seeing her come to him stood up but didn't move. Arriving at his side, she pulled on his jacket. He came to himself, and he took off his jacket and handed it to her. Kate passed it around her broad shoulders and walked towards her torn clothes while resuming her human form. Then she picked up her cell phone.
« Leïla? It's me. I need you to come get me. I had a fight with annoter werewolf…Yeah, I won. Okay. » She told her the address before hanging up and turning to Castle which still had not moved.
« Castle… » She started stepping toward him anxious. But he recoiled. Kate didn't even try to hide her pain.
« Castle…Rick I…I won't hurt you…I can't hurt you… » She murmured, staring the ground.
« Wh-what are you exactly? A sort of werewolf? »
« Yes. » She replied simply.
« That night, it was you, isn't it? This brown wolf? »
« Yes, it was me. » There were no reason to lie, he had sen it all.
« I…I mean…how…? »
« It's a long story Castle and I promise you that I'll tell you everything but later, okay? »
Castle was about to protest en a beautiful Young woman arrived. Castle was almost sure it was Leïla.
« Kate. » She said. « What dont you understand in: you have to be discrete? »
Castle looked at her for a moment, she had the same characteristics as those who had assaulted him a few weeks ago.
« I didn't really had the choice. » Kate muttered, frowning. Leïla walked toward Jake's lifeless body.
« Are you a werewolf too? » Castle asked her without thinking.
She starde at him for a moment and Castle had the bad impression that she was reading his mind.
« No, I'm a vampire. » She finally replied.
Castle almost choke on his saliva.
« A vamp-vampire? » He stammered looking Kate who gave him a smile full of compassion.
« Yes, like the couple who attacked you a few weeks ago. » She confessed.
He merely nodded too shocked to do anything else.
« You'd better take him home, Kate. » Leïla said.
« No wait! I can't go home not knowing what's happening! »
The two women exchanged glances.
« He is taking it better than you. » The vampire said.
« Beaucause it's not happening to him directly. » Kate replied.
At that point other people arrived. At fit sight, Castle surmissed that it was other vampires.
« Ah! Here you are! » Leïla exclaimed, approaching them. « I need you to take care of this dead wolf and make that human forget what happened. » She said, pointing her finger at Mike.
The vampires nodded and took the body and Mike before disappearing. She turned to Beckett and Castle.
« Perhaps we should continue our conversation in my house? »
