Chapter 15
The bear froze in it's tracks and stared at her. Lexi drew her lips away from her teeth and started to growl at it. The bear quickly stepped backwards and turned to run. Lexi's instincts kicked in and before she knew it she was chasing the bear through the woods. She caught up with it quickly and pounced on it's back. She bit straight into the bear's back and pulled out it's throat. Lexi then lapped up the blood pouring from the wound. As she did the bear's body transformed back into a human's Lexi crawled back from the body and turned around. Everyone had just caught up with her when she did. Quinn looked between her and the body. Lexi put her head down and looked at the ground. She lifted it instinctively when Ash stepped forwards. He crouched down next to her and put his hand out to pet her. Lexi bit his hand lightly and left four small teeth marks. He pulled his hand away quickly and shook it.
"Thanks Lexi," he said.
Can you turn back? Lexi looked at Quinn who was looking at her worried.
I don't know. I don't even know if you can hear me now. She said weakly.
I can hear you. he said. Lexi sighed slightly then looked at the naked body on the ground.
I'm not even going to attempt it here. Quinn nodded which gained him several sideways glances from the others.
We'll get you home somehow. Lexi realised she had started purring and stood. She suddenly heard shouting and footsteps coming in their direction. It wasn't much longer until Quinn heard it as well. Lexi started growling instinctively. The people must've been closer than she thought because they were there in no time. A man took one look at Lexi and the body on the floor and he aimed a gun at her. Lexi took off running as Ash dived towards the gun knocking it out of range. Lexi heard voices yelling and some fighting but kept running towards the house. She managed to run across the road and up the drive quickly. Thea and Hannah were still at the door when she skidded to a stop outside the porch. They both started screaming as she darted past them. As she climbed the stairs she saw doors opening. Mary-Lynette stepped out of the bathroom with two bathrobes, one around her body and one over her hair. She screamed the moment she saw Lexi who dived into the bathroom. Lexi closed the door over and leant on it. She heard speaking downstairs.
"There is a freaking lion in the house Thierry! A lion! And you want Quinn to go up there and talk to it? You. Are. Insane!" she was about to hear the rest of the rest but she was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Lexi are you okay? Quinn was stood at the other side of the door.
If you think having a tail is okay, I'm perfect.
Do you know how to change back?
I don't know. I guess if I just relax it might just well happen. Lexi heard Quinn lean against the door then slide down. Lexi curled up on the floor and waited.
