Chapter 8
The animal's canine teeth were millimetres away from her throat when it let out a large cry of pain. Lexi took her chance and flipped it off of her then rose to her feet. She saw that the wolf had a large arrow in the back of her neck and had gone limp. Lexi stood panting as Quinn turned to see who had shot.
"Rashel?" Quinn asked. Lexi froze. Then turned slowly and saw a large group of teenagers stood further down the street. She then looked at Quinn and turned to walk away. She suddenly heard a small click then turned in time to see another arrow heading for her heart. She caught it mid-air and threw it to the ground. She didn't look at anyone whilst she did. "What are you doing?" Quinn cried. He was suddenly next to Rashel taking the bow off of her.
"Killing her!" Rashel yelled back. "She's a murderous vampire who works for Hunter. I bet she's just waiting to get the chance to slaughter us all."
"Please if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be standing right now." Lexi said quietly. She knew she had heard as many of them stirred.
"Quinn, give me one good reason why we shouldn't just pull her to pieces now." Rashel demanded.
"Because she's my sister!" Quinn yelled. Lexi was as stunned as everyone else.
"Cousin actually." Lexi corrected. "Oh yeah and I just saved his life. So that's two reasons. You give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart." Rashel was frozen staring at Quinn. Then she turned to Lexi.
"Name," she demanded.
"Why don't you go first?" Lexi said playfully.
"Her name's Elexis Boutelle." The voice came from the back as a tall boy stepped forwards.
"Ash so that's where you've been all this time. You're a damned day breaker. I should've known. The last time I met you, you refused to hunt with me." Lexi looked at everyone else who had gone pale. "What?"
"The... Elexis-"A small girl whispered. She didn't recognise her at all.
"Yes. Now who are you?" A boy stepped between them. Lexis knew he was human straight away. "Please I think your little witch girlfriend has more of a chance with me than you do."
"Lex stop it now," Quinn said quietly. Everyone was silent. Lexi suddenly heard footsteps. She recognised the sound of the heavy black boots. She looked at the old abandoned warehouse with the hole in.
"All of you get in there." No one moved. "Now, if you want to stay alive." Quinn looked worried but then pushed everyone through. Lexi grabbed the arrow out of the wolf's neck and threw it over a nearby wall. Just as the footsteps turned the corner.
"Lexi?"
