The Hunt

1010 Words
Roger is sitting in his apartment and watching TV, he is growing anxious waiting for Jessica. The sun is starting to set over the city, Roger walks up to the window of the apartment, which is overlooking the ocean. His apartment is much smaller than Jessica's large penthouse, situated on the edge of the city closer to the ocean. He looks at his phone and dials Jessica's number. [ The number you have called is not available, please try again later.] Roger is starting to get worried as it gets darker outside. He sits back down on his couch, thinking to himself what he should do, he starts to hear a voice from inside his head, it's Aiden "Hi brother, long time no see, how are things going?" "What do you want Aiden?" "I know we left things a bit tense last time, but you know it's that time of the year again, and some of my lowborn's need some practice and I thought to myself, Roger could really help out with this problem." "No Aiden, I am done playing your games! and if you come near Jessica, I swear to God! I will kill you!" Too late brother, I thought it was time to introduce myself." What have you done to Jessica?" "Nothing..... yet" Roger jumps out of his couch, there is a look of fear on his face, as he fights back tears. " Roger, don't worry I won't hurt her, just get down to the woods so we can play a game." Roger dashes out of the door of his apartment and gets in his car. He frantically drives off, he knows what Aiden is capable of and needs to get to the woods as quickly as possible. Jessica is standing in front of Aiden, she is terrified and looks around her, there are 6 other cars parked around them with their bright headlights on, Jessica starts to fight Aiden, swing her arms to punch him on the chest, Aiden is unaffected by her weak punches and looks back at the people there and starts to laugh out loud "Whoa! this one is a fighter!" Jessica then digs her nails into his face and scratches his eye, leaving a wound. Roger puts his hand over his eye and screams in pain, he grabs her by the arms pushes her to the ground. He transforms into his werewolf form and lunges at her, their faces are close to each other and roars out loud, the wind created by his breath blows her hair back. Aiden steps back and fixes his clothes "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper like that, you probably want to know why we dragged you into the woods this way." Jessica is cowering on the floor, she is screaming out in terror "Somebody help! Roger!" "I am sure Roger is on his way, I already arranged that, he is just as an important part of the game as you are, but let's begin shall we?" Aiden grabs Jessica by the arm and pulls her to her feet. "Run, we're giving you a 5-minute headstart, after that my brothers over here are coming after you." Two large werewolves step out of the shadows into the light and they start growling at her. Jessica is trembling she doesn't know what to do, she looks over at Aiden who screams at her "Run!" Jessica takes off into the darkness of the woods, she is crying hysterically and the tears are partially blinding her. She wipes the tears from her eyes but trips over a rock and falls to the ground, she starts crying again "Maybe I should just lay down and let them kill me." she hears the howling of the wolves as they come after her she pushes herself off the ground keeps running, she only has the light of the moon to illuminate her path, as the woods get thicker it becomes hard and harder to see in front of her. Jessica comes across a stream, she has been running for 30 minutes already and stops to have a drink of the water from the stream. She kneels to scoop up water with her hands, the full moon shines large above her head. The dead quiet of the area is broken by rustling sounds in the trees around her. Jessica quickly gets up and looks around her. The werewolves have found her and are toying with her. She can hear their growls, but they stay hidden among the trees. Jessica picks up a broken branch and takes a fighting stance. She is terrified but she fights her fear and has decided that she is not going to die without a fight, in the back of her mind she hopes that Roger will find her in time. "Come on out you cowards!" Jessica steps into the middle of the stream, hoping the werewolves would not like water. "I'm not afraid of you!" Jessica smacks the branch into the water, making loud splashing sounds. The werewolves jump out of the trees they were hiding in, each one on a different side of the stream, with Jessica, caught in the middle. Jessica starts to swing her branch to keep them at bay, one werewolf steps into the stream and catches the swing branch, and tosses it aside. Jessica starts running down the stream, the werewolves don't immediately go after her, it's clear that they are just toying with her, delaying her inevitable s*******r. Jessica is terrified but she is also exhausted, it gets harder to lift her legs with every step she is taking, she looks around her hoping to see Roger, but it's too dark to see anything and all she can hear are the growls of the werewolves as they get closer, as looks behind her, she trips and falls headfirst into the running water of the shallow stream. Jessica tries to get up but a werewolf is standing over her, he looks down directly at her, displays his sharp canine teeth, and growls.
