Why Me?
"He'll be fine, nothing too bad." Samuel assured, "It's just important that we get the silver out."
Auriele looked about ready to kill someone and I really didn't blame her because I knew how…helpless she felt.
"Porsche, we're leaving." Ben whispered in my ear as Sam began work on Paul, he was in the worst shape and just barely alive.
I struggled against him as he pulled me upstairs to the living room.
"They're hurt!"
"Yes, and right now you can't help them." Ben said gently. "You need to go to sleep, you're working yourself up again. If you want to be able to save Jamie you're going to sleep. We have a long day ahead of us and one more before the moon is full. With Darryl possibly down and Paul most definitely down if he makes it, we're going to need all the strength we can get and you know Adam will not let you go unless you're feeling well and sleeping alight."
"We waited too long to save Jamie!" I snapped, "Donnie probably hates me for sitting here and doing absolutely nothing!"
"You're waiting for the right moment, they won't be able to avoid us on the full moon. We'll find them." He assured, "It's called 'strategy' and Adam is usually very good at it."
"I know, he used to beat me all the time at that stupid game with the blue and red things and you have to find the other player's flag before they find yours and you play with numbers. The greater weapon is judged y its number and if you have the greater weapon than you beat that piece and they lose it. I forgot what it's called only that I beat him once because Aphrodite kept sitting in his lap so he was fairly distracted."
"It's called Stratego." Ben murmured. "I was there too."
"I hated that game for so long, I could never win." I frowned. "Weren't you the idiot I played for five hours because we both sucked and we couldn't win so you gave up?"
"I'm pretty sure you gave up." Ben shook his head in disagreement. "Mercy made you go to bed."
"Oh…true…" I yawned.
"And I'm making you go to bed now, you're tired." He nodded to the stairs and I whined.
"I don't wanna!"
"You sound like such a spoiled brat." He rolled his eyes, "Go get some rest."
"You're not the boss of me."
"Please go get some rest, Porsche, please."
"No." I crossed my arms. "I want to know if everyone is okay."
"Well, we won't find out until they wake up so how about you go to sleep?" He pushed me to the bottom stair, "Now it goes one foot in front of the other and you walk to your room and into bed and go to sleep."
"Come with me."
"Porsche, two of our wolves were just attacked! Your father needs some help okay? I've got to do my part and then I'll get some sleep. You told me to sleep last time, I'm telling you this time. Get your ass in bed." He growled.
"Not going to happen."
"Your so damn stubborn!" He headed back downstairs. "You can either stay there or go to bed, but you can't come back downstairs, understood?"
"Crystal clear." I agreed. I watched as he left and then I ran upstairs. He hadn't said I couldn't leave, and if he did why would I listen? I grabbed a tie-bag near to the door and stuffed my cellphone in it and grabbed my wallet in case. I quietly grabbed the car keys Mom had left on the island, making sure it was a usable car first, and left, closing the door quietly behind me. When I got outside I realized that, for what I was planning, car was unnecessary, so I just changed.
Picking up my bag by the strings with my mouth, I moved as quickly and quietly as I could off of the property. When I figured I was far enough away, I started my search.
I really hope Advil works on dogs...
Random Ben POV
Porsche was angry with me because she had successfully closed the bond again and…you could tell. She hates it when I tell her to do something. She hates it more when I tell her specifically not to do something as well so I guess it didn't make a difference.
"Yes, I think that- -"
"Ben, have you seen Porsche?" Mercy snapped, I turned around from where Warren and I had been talking about the recent happenings. No, we weren't standing around doing nothing, thank you, Darryl and Paul were both asleep and Paul's mate had been notified.
"I told her to get some rest."
"Well, she's not here." She growled.
"What?" I asked. "I told her she couldn't come back down here and that she should get some sleep."
"Ben, she's not in her room, she's not in any of these rooms, not in the kitchen or dining room, not in the living room, not in any upstairs bedroom or bathroom, where do you think she is?"
"Shit." Porsche was going to be the death of everyone.
Porsche POV
That's a wall.
I know that's a friggin wall!
I scrambled up the stone and jumped down on the other side.
I can't smell anything, can you?
Number one, we share the same nose, if you don't smell them what makes you think I can? I sniffed again to see if I could pick up the scent of the unfamiliar wolves I had finally found after some hard searching. I gave up and dropped my bag, walking forward. And two, I think it's a cloaking spell.
Which could be either a good sign or a very very bad sign. I hated cloaking because it really made you feel blind in the sense that any smell within the designated radius was gone, annulled, no more. It really bothered me because I hated not being able to smell.
And, if done well, it could make everything seem invisible and completely normal. It was an illusion, almost like glamour and it really pissed me off. If done well, it could linger a while after the pack had finished hunting.
I really hoped this one was done well...
I was relieved that I had figured out exactly how to close the bond, if I hadn't they'd of found me by now, no doubt. They still could, I hadn't made a trail that was hard to follow. If I needed them I'd rather they be able to find me and if I couldn't find these dimwits…well I'd rather them not find me, but if they did, at least I found them as well.
I could only hear faint noises of the world and I paused when I heard a twig snap somewhere behind me. I uselessly sniffed the air only to smell the typical scents of river and dust.
Oh shit, shit, shit.
I could definitely hear individuals behind me, and in front of me, and possibly one on my left side.
I yipped in surprise when a big gray shape flung itself at me. I rolled with the impact, feeling my breath leave me.
It's weird how life works, but with little effort for once, I was able to re-open the bond.
PORSCHE, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?
I'm not, oh shit.
The gray wolf lunged again and I managed to move just enough that he landed prone on the ground. I bit down on his leg.
GOD DAMNIT, GIRL! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!
I will not.
I bit harder, feeling the wolf's blood gushing between my teeth until I finally heard the sickening crack that meant I had broken his leg. I let go and stumbled backwards.
Will you please get the hell out of there?
They're going to chase me if I try.
There was another gray wolf, this one a little lighter, he and his brown coated buddy decided to gang up on me, why they didn't all just join in was beyond me.
Oh fuck…
I couldn't watch both of them so I decided that perhaps making the first move would be the brightest idea. I bit at the brown's muzzle when I realized that the dark gray would still most likely be a problem. Just because you have a broken leg doesn't mean you're down for eternity.
Unless you're me who's too lazy to get up anyways.
I let out a slightly muffled squeal when the light gray swatted me to the side, giving the brown a chance at my belly. I rolled before he got the chance.
Shit, Porsche, shit…
What's wrong now? Besides me getting beaten up by a few flea bitten mongrels?
Porsche, we can smell you.
My eyes widened when I realized what he meant. Oh…crap…well on the bright side, I didn't feel different as of now.
Don't…please don't do anything stupid until we get there, we're on out way.
Which meant they had Changed…which meant that they'd get here soon enough. Oh…okay…not as bad as I thought, backing away from the light gray as it approached and not noticing the brown was behind me until I felt him sniff me.
Oh fuck fuck fuck, I didn't think this through at all.
I growled and moved for the brown first. Curiosity killed the cat and ate the dog for dessert. Ben was growling in my head and it really didn't help my focus because the affects of being in heat were definitely starting to come over me.
At least it wasn't as bad as a wolf.
Finally, I managed to kill the brown wolf just before someone picked me up by my scruff. I let out a relieved sigh when I realized it was Ben. He set me down and growled in a way that just screamed he was going to murder me.
I will once we get home. How could you be so stupid?
We were not being stupid, we had an unfinished plan.
I replied indignantly, shaking myself off as battle raged on. I spotted a black wolf a few yards away who was just looking for a chance to get at Warren who was already fighting off two, this little well-hidden mini-pack was fucking huge. How had we missed this?
I caught the wolf off guard and we struggled a little before he pinned me under him, teeth bared. I snarled back before my eyes met his bright green ones. I choked and his eyes widened before he jumped backwards.
Jamie wouldn't have had enough control to have backed off like that…would he?
No, not this early…it couldn't be him…
I moved towards him again, a little more cautiously. He wouldn't be the first wolf I had met who backed off just to attack again.
He whined an lowered his head. He was embarrassed, it just radiated off him. I felt bad, but I couldn't be sure as to who he was. He smelled like Jamie almost, just faintly, but tons of people use that shampoo so really it wasn't too reliable. There was also just the faintest smell of the cigarettes Jamie's brother smoked, but really again, tons of people smoke cigarettes.
Even still, he smelled like Jamie and wolf, but could I just decide like that? Sure he had the bright green eyes, one of which had a white patch of fur around it that screamed "cute" as much as Bran's tail and he had a white paw to match.
Instinct drove my lips into a snarl as I advanced and the wolf dropped to the ground and rolled belly-up giving me his throat. I frowned as well as I could and sniffed at him before making the final decision that it was in fact Jamie. He wanted to know if I was alright.
I nodded.
Wait…how did I know what he wanted?
Shit…this is more complicated than we thought.
I shook myself and nodded for Jamie to get up. All things considered, he was huge, around…Warren's size perhaps?
I nodded to where the fight was happening, inviting him to join in. Of course, being a dominant male, he curiously sniffed at me and I rolled my eyes. Ben jumped in and snarled I sighed and turned around, nuzzling Ben.
We have work to do.
He touched you.
Brilliant assessment.
I pressed myself against Ben for a moment and Jamie's eyes went to the ground. I smiled and trotted away to find something to kill because there was a lot to kill at the moment.
Please don't kill each other.
I assessed the fight thus far, Warren killed one, Ben had done shit-
I killed the spotted one.
I looked over to see that a dalmatian coated wolf was info fact covered with blood right next to me. Dad had Warren and they were fighting three.
Shit…if Dad was with Warren, where was Mom?
I found her with three attackers and one wolf by her side. It didn't help that the one wolf by her side was one that she didn't particularly trust, Mary Jo.
I don't know why she doesn't like her, I never heard that story, but I just know she doesn't.
I decided to make myself useful and joined them, jumping on their third acquaintance and getting a hold of his neck.
Of course, it'd be useful if I was strong enough to snap it. Oh well, you can't win them all. He couldn't get me off, but I couldn't finish him either which left us in quite an amusing situation.
Yeah, amusing. That's a new one.
Oh shut it.
Mom looked startled at the sudden turn of events and seemed to frown at me.
Oh come on, Mother, I'm not doing this for you, I'll be bored otherwise!
It's not as if she could hear me, but it was the truth and there was no harm in thinking it.
Mary Jo had two on her now so Mom decided to help her instead, oh sure help you're enemy, your daughter is fine! She''ll just try to snap the wolf that is seven times the size of her's neck.
I let out a small squeak when the wolf finally threw me off and I skidded in the dust. I scrambled back to my feet as fast as I could, but he bowled me over. I got the wind knocked out of me to say the least. I tried to get up, a little slower this time, and he grabbed my neck in his own jaws. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to get him off but he had the strength I lacked thanks to my mother. I felt blood rushing and I tried harder before I felt the weight being lifted.
Porsche, you can't take on a full grown were' yourself and expect to win! Believe it or not you are not that strong!
I don't see the fairness in being angry at me. I took on a few fully grown werewolves earlier and killed one and broke another one's leg.
He licked my neck, it was sore and, unfortunately, bloody.
You need to sit the rest out.
It's a fight, I can't just sit out! There is no sitting out! You have only a few of your wolves here and two of them are home with Samuel guarding!
We'd have more if you had stuck to the fucking plan and not run out here yourself! Go home, that's a deep wound and neck wounds are tricky.
Don't tell me what to do!
I will tell you what to do when you are being unreasonable! You're going to bleed to death!
I didn't like it, but I had to admit that my fur was starting to drip blood.
Yes, it is, now go!
I'm taking Jamie then, he can't stay here.
I don't agree with that idea.
And I don't agree with yours, we're even.
I was starting to feel a little dizzy, but I knew where we were and since I wasn't looking for my home I knew it was only five minutes from here at a walk. I motioned to Jamie to follow me.
Porsche if-
I'll be fine.
Assurances can only go so far, but I knew what he had been referring to and I knew that I could handle the problem. I focused as hard as I possibly could with puncture wounds in my neck, an ache in my abdomen, and anger at Ben for bossing me around and I closed the bond.
Bastard, making us go home.
I know, Mei, I know.
Jamie followed a little to my left side and we reached my house, having started off at a brisk trot I was now strolling at a walk while trying not to make it look like i was hurting.
But shit I was dizzy, blood loss does that.
I reached the stairs to the front door and decided I didn't want to climb up them. Jamie looked startled and bounded forward, skidding next to me and cocking his head to the side because he wanted permission to go ahead. I nodded somewhat stiffly and he climbed the stairs and pawed at the door. I watched as Samuel opened it. He took the situation in in one short glance.
"Porsche, you're a real trouble maker, you know that?" He asked and walked towards me. Jamie looked as if he was unsure to whether Samuel was allowed to touch me. I nodded again, this time wincing in the pain it caused.
It doesn't mean Ben was right, I still could've managed.
Samuel picked me up gently and I immediately tried to get down. I didn't like being carried, I would walk up those steps if it killed me.
"Come off it, you're not going to be able to magically climb the steps." He gripped me harder and brought me to the basement. He tossed me some clothes. "Change back and I'll see to it we call a witch and that your friend is okay."
I startled and picked myself up from the middle of the bed at the sound of witch.
"You just trailed blood around the block, people are going to be more than suspicious." He pointed out and climbed upstairs. "I'll be back in literally a moment, so change quickly."
I did as he said, still cursing Ben in my head.
Why had I listened to him?
Because he was right.
That was true, but it didn't mean he could tell me what I was to do and expect me to listen.
We listened because we'd have died otherwise.
I reached to touch the sore wound on my neck before Samuel snapped.
"You'll infect it if you touch it." He explained sharply, probably because he had told me a million times before what I could do to myself by touching a wound. "You're friend wanted to stay down here."
I put my hand down, his last statement had been an implied question so I nodded in response and winced again. He nodded briskly and just got right down to business cleaning and bandaging. Iodine and all.
I hate puncture wounds. At least this time it was bleeding so he didn't have to make it bleed. Even still there's a lot that comes with them. There's scrubbing and syringes of disinfected water and iodine and that's repeated God-only-knows how many times.
Then you just use the disinfected water to get the iodine out to prevent burning that already occurred anyways. Finally you bandage it and then have to redress it everyday.
And don't get me started on infections because they suck.
"Are you alright then?" Samuel asked. Jamie nuzzled my hand.
"Dandy." I rolled my eyes.
"You lost a lot of blood."
"So you've said." I agreed.
"You're going to need to rest." He looked at me sternly, "For real. I'll bring you down something to eat, and something for this one too. Unless you'd like me to move him?"
I looked at Jamie's face and back at Samuel.
"He's responding to you as if you were his alpha." He chuckled, "Wait until Adam hears about this. You attract some of the weirdest attention."
"Dad is going to shoot me for starting a pack on his territory." I muttered, "Oh well."
"He won't kill you, he'll just induct you both into his pack to set you straight." He smiled, "I'll go get the food now."
He left and I stared at Jamie.
"Jamie Blaise Silverman, you are about to get me into all loads of shit. Be happy." I growled and he looked a cross between sheepish and apologetic. He was tired and I sighed, patting the foot of the bed. "Fine, get up here you great lump, just stay by my feet. We don't want Ben eating you do we?"
I looked at the clock to see it was only one in the morning which wasn't too bad because I had left at nine or ten. Samuel came back down and dropped off a few steaks and proceeded to where Darryl and Paul were. I didn't really eat, instead I pushed it at Jamie. He was way too thin to wolf standards.
He shook his head.
"Eat it, Silverman, I'm not hungry. If I eat, I'll throw up." It wasn't a lie, the smell of iodine was making me nauseous.
He finally ate and curled up at my feet. I was tired to I shut the light with the switch conveniently located by the bed and drifted to sleep.
