Chapter 41: Who Sent You To Kill us?
Audrey stamped her right foot hard on the grassy ground and with one powerful leap, she was standing on the branch of the tall tree beneath where the werewolf Jocelyn stood.
"Let's have fun hunting, little Wolfie," Audrey leapt on another tree with ease.
[Why the hell does she keep calling me little Wolfie? What on Earth is little about me?]
Jocelyn repeatedly growled to show her displeasure.
The two friends began hunting in full swing.
While they were busy having tons of fun competing against each other, the likes of Carl, Rachel and the Alpha were worried about them.
A few hours later Jocelyn and Audrey were seen running at top speed scrambling to catch the same prey.
Seeing that Jocelyn was ahead of her, Audrey took the right path. As she runs and leaps, Audrey still glances at Jocelyn to make sure that their distance from the prey wasn't too large.
When they were some distance away from the running deer, Audrey and Jocelyn leapt at the same time.
"Gotcha!" Audrey grinned the moment she landed on the ground with the deer in her right hand.
[She was ahead of me this time around]
Jocelyn howled as she turned to face her back where Audrey is.
Behold she saw Audrey biting the poor animal repeatedly. The deer screamed as Audrey repeatedly feasted on him without mercy.
After Audrey has drunk the blood of the deer to her fill, she shoves the dead animal aside and stands up from her squatting position.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. I have been trying to control my thirst since we entered the forest but unfortunately, as you can see…," Audrey tried to explain when she saw the way the werewolf girl stared at her.
Even though she wasn't in her human form she understood the questioning stares Jocelyn gave her.
"Don't worry, I will try not to go berserk again and devour another precious prey," Audrey cleaned her mouth. Although she had given Jocelyn her words Audrey wasn't sure whether or not she would be able to keep her promise.
The forest itself was full of so many temptations how could she be sure of what she will do again.
"Let's continue….,"
"Watch out!" Audrey shouted and jumped at the same time and collided with Jocelyn so the two of them fell to the ground.
Jocelyn didn't know what was going on until she saw a bullet pierce the tree close to where she stood earlier.
Had Audrey not been fast to get her out of the way then she would have been the one that was shot.
They didn't recover from the first attack when Audrey's heightened sense of hearing heard the person pull the trigger again.
This time around Jocelyn didn't need Audrey to save her, they both got out of their current spot at the same time.
"I would consider the first shot as the mistake but definitely not when he repeats the same thing twice. Whoever shot that bullet is aiming for either of us," Audrey hiding behind a huge tree said loud enough for Jocelyn shielding herself behind a tree too to hear.
The shooter didn't let the girls finish analysing what was happening before he shot the third bullet.
The third bullet cleared whatever doubts the girls had about the shooter.
"This isn't funny anymore," Audrey muttered as she remained in her spot.
"It looks like the one shooting is ready for us. I mean he even dared to use a revolver so that others won't hear the gunshot and come to our rescue".
Jocelyn growled to signify that she agrees with what Audrey said.
Audrey closed her eyes and tried to identify the particular spot the shooter was. Just when she thought that she had gotten the person, another bullet came from a different direction from where she spotted the first person.
Before the bullet could hit her, Audrey jumped and rolled to the ground.
She didn't know whether the last bullet was a blessing or curse since she got to hide at the same spot with Jocelyn.
Jocelyn and Audrey thought they had spotted the shooters but to their greatest surprise, they discovered two more shooters after dodging five more bullets.
As if shooting at them wasn't enough the shooters drew closer to their hiding spot.
"There are four of them so that means we are outnumbered but I don't think that should be a problem right?" Audrey said in a low tone. And Jocelyn responded by rubbing her face against Audrey's face.
"To be able to defeat them we need to follow this strategy," Audrey said. Since for some reason she couldn't tell whether the assassins were humans, werewolves or vampires, she decided to whisper the words into Jocelyn's ears to be sure that their plans didn't leak.
"All we did earlier was just practice but this is the real deal. Any mistakes can lead to death or serious injuries and I am sure you don't want this," Audrey said while looking into Jocelyn's eyes.
"Even though we are outnumbered I can already tell that those fools are not our match, we have got this hmm," Audrey caressed Jocelyn's fur affectionately.
Audrey stood up and cross-checked her arrow carrier to see how many arrows she had left.
Since the assassins decided not to let other hunters know what was going on there Audrey decided not to use her gun except if necessary.
"Wolfie, I trust you ok," Audrey smiled at Jocelyn. She tapped her as a signal that it was time for them to carry out their plans.
Almost immediately Jocelyn ran ahead and just like they had predicted the assassins focused all their attention on her.
The pattern in which Jocelyn ran made it difficult for the gunmen to aim at her properly
When Audrey saw that their plans had worked, she leapt onto the tree which she used as a shield.
"Hey motherfuckers, isn't it me you are looking for?" Audrey distracted them further with her loud voice.
The men all paused and turned to face her instead.
"Do you think you are powerful? Come let me show you what it really means to be powerful," Audrey grinned when she saw them shoot at the same time.
Before they knew what was going on she had leapt on another tree.
Jocelyn used the men's distraction and landed a fatal attack on them.
She jumped and bite off the hand of one of the men with her powerful teeth.
The guy whose hand was lying in front of him with the gun stuck to the amputated hand screamed in pain.
Jocelyn didn't wait for the guy's companion to attack her. She jumped on another guy and bit his neck. She had aimed to bite off the guy's neck but another of the assassins kicked her hard before she could achieve her aim.
She was sent flying in the air because of the kick. She collided very hard against a big tree trunk.
Jocelyn whined and couldn't stand up immediately. The one who looked like the leader of the group seized this opportunity and tried to shoot Jocelyn.
Audrey whistled instantly to get their attention. "Hey isn't it me you are looking for?" Audrey grinned evilly as she threw at the two guys the fruit she picked from a tree.
The two men dodged her attack swiftly.
"Is that all you are capable of?" Audrey said provocatively. She secretly stole a glance at Jocelyn to see whether she was able to stand up.
"If the one who ordered you for the job was to see how incapable you guys are I am sure he would be grim with anger, don't you agree with me?"
Audrey's provocative utterances worked like opium because the moment she finished saying these words the assassins, especially the leader, turned red in anger.
"I guess it is time to rip off that damn mouth of yours, little girl," The leader that was wearing a black cape said angrily.
Audrey gasped, "A vampire!".
Audrey's expression widened and her mouth parted like she had seen a ghost when she saw the guy's crimson eyes and long fangs.
[But how is a vampire here in the homes of werewolves~]
The man didn't let Audrey wrap up her thoughts; he hopped on the tree Audrey stood on. But he landed on a branch lower than the one Audrey stood.
Audrey jumped onto another tree before the man in the Black cape could leap and grab her legs.
While Audrey tried to handle the leader of the group, Jocelyn, who just recovered from her injuries, took care of the remaining one.
When she made sure that they were a far distance from where Jocelyn was, Audrey stopped running and jumped down from the tree. And so did the cape man.
"Who sent you to kill us?" Audrey standing face to face with the vampire guy asked.
"Your ancestors," The guy replied. He rushed forward to attack Audrey but smart as she was, Audrey vanished only to appear at his back.
"Am I your target or is she the one?" Audrey continued.
"Ask your ancestors when you get to the underworld," The guy shot a bullet at Audrey but she caught the bullets with her bare hands.
"It's true that one day I will reach the Netherlands but absolutely not today," Audrey said confidently. She cracked her knuckles and twisted her neck.
"If there is anyone between the two of us who will be the candidate of the Netherlands today it's you and not me".
Audrey charged forward with her fists clasped.
He punched her hard on the stomach, causing her to stagger about five feet backwards.
She crunched in pain.
"Ouch… that hurts," Audrey grasped her belly, the spot the guy punched. "Was that what you were expecting to hear me say?"
Audrey's arrogant words and expression made the cape guy feel small. Everything about Audrey irritated him after Audrey's last utterance.
