Chapter 5

Walking through the sanctuary Kate felt somewhat safe behind its stone walls. Looking at Henry's back as he leads her towards her new room she couldn't help but check him out. Smiling to herself she thought he had a very nice ass.

"What?" asked Henry stopping in front of her.

Almost walking into him Kate shook her head and with a shrug of her shoulders said "Nothing."

"Oh," said Henry, "thought you said something about my ass."

Blushing slightly she quickly walked ahead asking "So which one is my room?"

With a smirk Henry slowly walked up to her, standing close to her staring into Kate's eyes he said "That one."

Switching between looking into his eyes and his lips she could feel the temperature start to rise. Taking a deep breath she tears her eyes away from him and walks to the door leading to her new room. Opening it she saw that it had an old dark wood bed and dresser with a large mirror over it. It looked much like the other bedrooms here.

Walking in behind her Henry placed her bag on her bed and sat looking around the room. "Well how do you like it?"

Kate smiled to herself, this bedroom was perfect. She never in her life had a nice room like this. "It's great. Tell Magnus thank you."

Grinning Henry watched as she looked around and touched everything as if making sure it was real. Absorbed in watching her he didn't notice her asking him a question. "Sorry?"

"Laouche? What is it?" She asked again.

"Um..." Henry thought for a second remembering talking to Lara earlier about the one sided fight she had with Kate about the place. "Don't you know?"

Kate looked at Henry playing coy; she wanted to know what he knew about the place.

"Personally I have never been, but I know it's beautiful. It's where Lara is from" he said cautiously, not sure how much to say.

"Hmm... Your friend there seems to think I was there once", she said sitting down beside him.

"I heard about it", he smiled

"Oh well, then you know then that I'm an evil cabal member who helped attack the sacred city of the werewolf's", She said angrily.

"You have to understand Lara. She's very protective of her people and family. If you start a fight with them you will get your ass bitten", he laughed. "When Laouche was attacked she lost many good friends and she hates the cabal."

"So then she hates me?" asked Kate a little ticked off.

"She's weary of people is all. When we were young we watched our village be massacred and set on fire. Coming here it took us months to trust Magnus. For Lara she believes that trust is earned" He said placing his hand on her shoulder.

Nodding she looked at him "Do you trust me?" She asked

The question shocked Henry. He didn't know what to say. Seeing him hesitate Kate hung her head down. "I guess I don't blame you I would find it hard to trust me too."

Henry felt terrible so he pulled her into a hug. Laying her head on her shoulder she could feel her body heat up instantly. She sighed when she felt him start to rub her back. Slowly she raised her head to look at him. Only inches away from his face she stared into his eyes. Slowly he moved forward till his lips were lightly touching hers. Brushing over them he stopped waiting for her to move the rest of the way. Finally making her mind up, she moved and pushed her lips against his. Slowly they started moving their lips against each others. But soon it got hotter her tongue was soon fighting for dominance when the sanctuary's alarms went off.

Will stood by the car his hand going for his gun on his belt. In the corner of his eye he could see Lara shaking, her teeth clenching tightly fighting the urge to change. The human cabal members shook as they held their guns pointed at Lara waiting for her to change. The super abnormal stood still staring hard at will and Lara.

"What are they waiting for?" whispered Will.

Growling Lara stood fighting the urge to change looking down at her shaking body she heard a very familiar chuckle.

Clapping and laughing as she walked forward Dana Whitcomb smiled at Lara and Will. "Well Lara it's been too long."

Growling Lara said "Not long enough."

"What you didn't miss me?" asked Dana. "I told you before Lara I would make you mine!"

Will looked between the two, he could feel the tension. So he interrupted and asked "What do you want Dana?"

"Well the usual really the sanctuary's surrender and the bitch there's totally obedience," She said smiling.

Lara couldn't take it anymore and within a flash her clothing ripped and tore as she changed into her wolf counterpart.

Guns could be heard clicking and getting ready. Laughing Dana looked at the werewolf and said "Now, now Lara you don't want your friend there to die do you?"

Lara stood there her blue eyes staring hard at Dana. With a flick of Dana's wrist Ashley stepped forward. "What if Lara I told you I would give Ashley up for you?"

Lara cocked her head to the side confused. "Yes, that's right her freedom, for you Lara."

"Why do you want her for?" asked Will looking at Lara.

With a smug grin she walks forward looking at Lara she slowly touches Lara's head trying to pet her. Growling Lara stepped back baring her teeth. Smiling she looked at Will "I don't need to tell you that. You should simply be happy that you're still alive. But then again..."

But just as she was finishing her sentence Druitt with a small pop appeared and vanished with Will. Instantly Lara started running toward the end of the broken bridge. She could hear the gun fire behind her as the sanctuaries own men opened fire on the cabal. Feet away from the edge and about to make her leap a pain surged up her spine. With a thud she hit the ground. Quickly standing she was faced with two super abnormals. In unison they flipped towards her. With a loud growl Lara jumped at them, paws ripping into one as the others claws slashed down her side. Hitting the ground she quickly turned to see one on the ground gripping it's abdomen to keep his guts from spilling out while the other went on the offensive. Again Lara went at him and with a quick move had the abnormal flipped over and it's head in her jaws. Slowly Lara clamped down on its head and slightly cringed at the sound of cracking bone and the hot spurt of blood that filled her mouth.

Then a black boot entered her vision sending Lara backwards skidding to a stop inches from the edge. Looking up she saw Ashley standing there, Lara's eyes stared intently in Ashley's, begging for the old Ash to resurface. Barring her teeth Ashley ran at Lara, with a quick sigh Lara turned and leaped of the bridge.
