Derrick felt a throb in his head, he opened his eyes slowly darkness has fell and he found himself lying next to Luna"s pool. Sitting up he wondered what happened, he was drinking that juice with Kara, then they kissed, and then he just, fainted. The back door of Luna"s house stood open, he got up but froze when something got his attention on the roof; There she was again, fangs exposed, snarling, and ready to pounce."f.u.c.k not this again"
Kara kicked but a roof tile gave way, she fell and rolled helplessly down into the pool. Derrick gave a snort when she came up in disbelief, his smile seemed to have angered her more so he turned and vaulted the back wall, earlier while watching Kara in the sunset he saw the yard was neighbouring a church, and that bell tower was the perfect hiding spot.
He ran like h.e.l.l, Kara was struggling to get out of the pool still when he lept to the tower and sinking his fingers in between the bricks, he climbed as fast as the grip allowed him to. Looking over his shoulder he saw her jump over the wall.
"f.u.c.k!" He climbed faster, so intensely that he lost nails on the way up, making his fingers bleed, he got to the top, there was a window like frame with no window, long enough for him to stand up in, and just narrow enough for him to squeeze through. Derrick fell into the bell room just in time as a claw wizzed past the back of his head.
"f.u.c.k!" He he panicked turning to her, there were four of these elongated gaps in the tower, one on each side, and she already made her way to the one closest to him, the claw came through but he kicked himself away from it. Like a game of cat and mouse this went on for several minutes, untill he saw the latch in the floor leading down the tower, he opened it and slid in, sliding down the steel ladder and hitting the floor, when he saw the wooden door down there he realised they gave no safety against her, and vigorously started climbing the ladder again, using only his hands, knowing that wolf would have heard the thud from his drop below. He made it to the latch just in time to hear the door below blast open, the roar came up the tower like a gust of wind, he was out the latch, through the narrow window when the wooden floor just below the bell exploded. Derrick lept without choice.
"Oh this is gonna f.u.c.king hurt!" He yelled and landed tumbling, with his ankle sore he stood up running limp, but picked the pace up forcing himself to ignore the pain.
Kara saw him running over the Church grounds to the far wall, she let go of her grip and fell down the tower again, by the time she came out, Derrick was up and over the far wall.
He looked left and right, no cars at all!!? He ran down the street and saw a yard which seemed to have no house in, but with high fence and barbed wire, in the run he jumped onto a fire hydrant, onto a wall, tiptoed, then over the barbed wire. When he landed on the other side it looked like an old abandoned petting zoo, all the exhibits were there but no fencing, there was still an old tool shed standing open in the back he ran to it and grabbed the first pole he saw then twisted hoping its a pitchfork held it with the bussiness end ready at the wolf. Kara came to a sliding halt infront of him, he held up a mop, and Derrick felt a chill up his spine.
"A mop!? Who keeps a f.u.c.king mop in a toolshed!?"
Kara couldn"t help it, she started laughing, making Derrick frown angrily.
"Dont laugh! I know how to use this thing!" He said spinning it so the hairs made a wheel.
She laughed even more then decided to adress him.
"It was fun while it lasted" her voice growled.
"You? You can speak?"
"I wanted to thank you for saving me, but, i unfortunately, i am a predator, and i chose you to be my prey" She slowly walked around him, he still had the mop pointed, when she was between him and the toolshead he realised what she has done, now he couldn"t get a different, more effective tool.
"Just bend your head back, expose your neck to me, i will bite out your throat, and end it quick"
Derrick shook slightly, he knew it wasn"t the cold night time air, her words struck fear into him.
"Then" he murmured "If i saved your life, why not let me go this time?"
"I already paid you back for that, when you ran down the street after saving me, i could have had you in a second, but i decided to let you go, my dept is repaid, now give me your neck morsel" She lifted her paws, Derrick lifted the mop, but suddenly he saw something coming over the wall behind her and the knot in his throat dropped to his abdomen, he almost c.r.a.pped himself. Another wolf, but f.u.c.king huge, this he could confirm was a real werewolf! Long muzzle, brown fur, his eyes light brown and enraged. Derrick felt he could faint. Kara looked behind her to what he saw, but the brown wolf already had her by her throat, lifting her up face to face and snarled.
"I thought i was too late, but it seems i made it in time" it growled, Kara couldn"t speak only choke.
"I heard if i bite you now, my venom wil fully awaken you, but, thanks to my venom, you will be mine forever, an amarok, in service of an alpha, my name will be spoken of for years to come"
Derrick twitched, this was his chance, run, run, RUN! Why wouldn"t his feet move!? He saw the white wolf kicking at this monster, she was suffering, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend! No! Thats Michael"s words, this reminded him of the black wolf in his dreams! But instead its a huge a.s.s f.u.c.king brown one, Move Derrick Move! You cant fight this one! The white wolf choked for air and started struggling les and les... f.u.c.k this.
He ran to a duckpond still half with water, he dipped the mop in it, then in the dusty ground next to the pond, he repeated this untill the mop was a s...o...b..ring ball of mud, then looked back at the two wolves, the brown wolf had its jaws open, and was aiming to bite her, Derrick ran and jumped, the mop"s length gave him just the reach he needed, then struck the brown wolf in his eyes. It roared letting go, Derrick was still airborne but the wolf was so fast it struck him before he could land, he flew clear across the petting zoo and struck a vibacrete wall hard enough to crack it. Now Derrick felt stupid, his head hung, blood dripped on his lap, his blood, the pain made him angry, furious in fact. Rhe cool night mande steam rise from his body now boiling over, he looked up, veins in his eyes red and cracked. He stood up, the wolf had its eyes open when the mop hit it, so the sand was directly in it"s eyes, it yelped roaring, trying to rid it"s eyes of the agony.
"Knives are short, and guns run out of bullets, rocks are everywhere, but use them as a distraction. If you want a propper weapon son! Use a spear"
Derrick listened to his father in his mind, he broke the top of the mop off in such a way that it now had a one sided sloped sharp edge, the broken off piece as long as a ruler, he put in his mouth.
"Aim for the heart if you have wood, only aim for the head if you have steel, the scull and scin of a predator is tough and thick, as they also in some way have to withstand the defences of their prey"
Derrick placed his right hand on the tuff of the mop, using it as leverage, his left hand will guide the spear. He kicked from the wall and stormed the wolf in silence, no screams no warcry.
"Dont make yourself noticed too early! No matter how much you hate the thing youre attacking, if you have the element of surprise, then the b.a.s.t.a.r.d should only know youre there when your weapon pierces his flesh!"
Derrick aimed, the wolf was standing with its right side to him, so this thrust will go in and up towards the heart. With a gruesome "grog" sound the mop rod went in and up, penetrating all the way through the heart, Derrick broke the tuff of with his left arm, then elbowed the rest of the rod in so deep it disappeared inside the wound, meaning the wolf couldn"t just remove it. Derrick then ducked to avoid a defensive swipe from the wolf and stuck the now broken mop head"s remaining stump into its paw. The wolf yelped and fell over onto its back, unable to lift the wedged paw. Derrick took the piece of remaining mop in his mouth out, leapt over and as he landed next to it"s head, with the force of his incoming drop drove that stake into its eye, killing it.
Kara was still choking, as she watched Derrick impale the wolf, stunned at what he could do with a mere mop she staggered back when he stood up turning on her.

"You!?" He said and her ears sagged.
"You had the chance to run! Why didn"t you!?"
She realised he was right, this other wolf was here for her, he created a distraction, she could have easily made it back to her mother, but instead she remained.
"What if i couldn"t stop hi..." He dropped face first into the dust, Kara quickly came over and turned him on his back, he was so hot his skin was red.
"I! are you?" She asked remembering how he said this condition could kill him.
"Don"t die!" She said but he didn"t answer, instinct caused her to lick the blood off his face, it stirred her up, she had the chance to eat from him now, but how could she? This wasn"t part of the hunt. She licked his face again and he winced.
"It tickles" He said not opening his eyes. She felt alittle calmer, in the distance the sirens came again, she dragged him into the duckpond, hoping the water would cool him down. Before leaving she took one last glance at the brown wolf, now changed back into a human she gasped "Jason!?"
Her mind raced, why would he!? Kara decided there was nothing else keeping her here and left.
In the shadows two figures came out, wiped the wolf tracks clean, removed Derrick"s shoes, then with their own bare feet, made tracks in the ground to cover up what really happened, then disappeared as the police arrived at the scene.
