Ari's POV

The rain soaked my clothes and made my hair stick to my face. The fresh earth smell in the forest reminds me of Jacob. I have a favourite tree, about half a mile into the forest from my house, hanging over the cliff face. I go there to think, like I am now. I found this tree after my fight with Gabe. Since we both realised we have to start living this new life and settling in, things are getting better. We don't forget what we have done, but we are trying to accept it. Here we are, almost the end of February, a month since we left the Triad and three weeks of getting closer to Jacob. I told him I stopped cutting, but I like to wear long sleeves to hide scars, even around him, but it's a lie. I hate lying to him but he would be so disappointed and offended that I do it.
He is the only outsider I have ever cared about, and it makes me uneasy lying to him. Mason has accepted that I am trying to be happy, and that includes being with Jacob. Mason raised a good point the other day. I was feeling agitated, like for no reason, and he said something that made me realise why I had been agitated. I am a killer, it's a way of life and you can try to change but part of it is always going to be with you. The urge. The urge to kill supernatural creatures, the hatred for them seeps into your brain, you can block it out as much as you can, but you can't go cold turkey on it. Gabe and Mason had been feeling the same way, Mason was just the only one to accept that was the reason why we were all pissed off all the time. It's like withdrawal symptoms from a hard core drug, he had explained it like that. Gabe tracked down a coven of rouge witches, practicing necromancy, so I can plan tactics and Mason can figure out how to enter without being sensed. We are going to take them out.

My train of thought was interrupted by Jacob coming towards my tree. I switched sides of the tree so I could drop down without falling off the cliff.
"Hey Jake," I smiled and he whirled around and hugged me tight.
"He Ari, want to do something tomorrow, it's the last Sunday you have of doing nothing, you start school Monday and I want to spend all day with you," Jacob kissed my forehead but my heart sank and my stomach churned. I am going on a mission tomorrow.
"I'm going out with Gabe and Mason tomorrow, sorry Jake," I lowered my head so I didn't have to look at his sad expression.
"Where are you going?" He eyed my suspiciously .
"Just travelling around, seeing the world," I smiled, Jacob didn't buy it.
"Fine, I'm going hunting," The look he gave my made my stomach churn even more, I thought I was going to be sick but I continued to explain, "A coven of witches are killing people to practice necromancy, so we thought that would be a could reason to take them out."
"There is no good reason to kill things," Jacob was so stubborn.
"Says you who wants to rip vampires heads of on a daily basis," I mumbled under my breath.
"It's not the same, it's in my nature, not yours,"
"How the fuck would you know anything about my nature. I was pretty much bred to be a killer; it has been burnt into my brain in the most horrifying ways you could ever possibly imagine. It was made to be my nature, Jacob."
"You can change, I can't, Ari,"
"Jacob, have you ever been drowned in your parents blood? Have you ever been raped because you didn't complete a kill mission? Have you ever had a knife driven up your vagina so you can't get pregnant? Tell me Jacob, have you ever had to choose between killing your brother or supernatural creatures, if you have you may lecture me, and I know you haven't so get off your fucking high horse, you're not an angelic creature so shut the fuck up," With that I turned around and left.

I stormed into the house and got my machete. I need to kill something, right now. I didn't answer any of Gabe's or Mason's questions.
"Let's go kill some sons of bitches. I figured out our plan, we take the element of surprise, we head out now and charge in," I decided to take my two katana blades instead of my machete. My katana's handle was black with the blue rope-type lining on the outside and the blades themselves were black. I slid them slowly into the sheathe on my back, putting on a pair of dock martins, a plain black t-shirt, matrix style waist coat and a pair of black skinny jeans. I walked out the front door only to see Jacob, Seth, Sam and Jared standing by my impala.
"If you are here to stop us, I will knock you out. These witches are evil, so we are going to take them out," My legs were shoulder width apart and my hands instinctively went to the katana's handles.
"We want to come with you," Sam took an authority stand in front of me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Witches use poison you don't know how to avoid, you aren't trained to fight them, you will only get hurt or killed," I raised my eye brows at Sam. He thought about it for a minute but continued to stand in his place.
"Very well then, but I am not letting Seth or Jacob come. Seth has already been poisoned and trust me, being hit by witches' magic and poison is so much worse than a Spriggon. Jacob needs to stay here because if you two get killed, you still need someone to be an alpha, got it? Good, Sam and Jared get in my car," I ignored Jacob and Seth's argument and hopped straight into my impala.
Jacob came to the window and leant in and kissed my forehead, "Be careful, I mean it." I nodded and waited for Gabe and Mason to come out of the out with gasoline and body bags.
"Where abouts are we going?" Sam asked from the back seat.
"Ten minutes west from here at an abandoned train station," Gabe answered. It was pretty much a silent trip the rest of the way, we parked about a mile away from the train station.
"Why did we park so far away," Jared whispered in my ear.
"Witches can sense their enemies heat signatures, so we have to move slow and fast got it? Good, as soon as we get to the entrance run in and kill as many as you can," I did the army signal for follow me and we started our way through the tall grass and to the train station.

Gabe's POV

I really needed to kill these monsters, as much as I hate to admit that makes me one as well. Things have been easier since our fight. I have accepted I am a monster, but I can choose what type of monster I turn out to be. For now, I am part of a family of good monsters, living in the same proximity as a pack of monsters, which is really starting to wear on me. I never knew how imbedded the hatred of supernatural creatures was in my head. It's almost natural to hate everything unnatural.
I sensed five or six witches in the nearby part of the train station. I looked at Ari and I could feel she was thinking the same thing. There is probably a whole pack inside these ruins, which is going to be harder than inticipated.
Ari sent out instructions via mind waves to the rest of us.
Listen and listen well. We have one chance at executing this mission perfectly with the least damage possible. If you lose the element of surprise, you are dead, got it? Jared, Sam, you are hearing my voice in your head because I am wishing you to, if you get into trouble, I might not hear your mind panic. I don't trust you enough risk my brother's life for yours, I pledged our loyalty to you and the rule with us it if you don't assess the risks of the mission beforehand and place your favour before we leave on a mission, your life is in your own hands, especially if things go south. We are going to split up, boys, you three flank them from the west entrance, and Gabe will lead you. I am going to sneak as close as I can to the north entrance and then give you the next instructions.
I could tell by the confused expression on the wolf's faces that that heard Ari loud and clear. I nodded at her and signalled Jared and Sam to follow me to the entrance.
