Hunter: Part 6
Cain met back up with everyone else. The empty response on his face alerted Rose that something had happened.
“Where’s Dean?”
Cain sighed.
“He’s with Lily and Jack… Jack is dead.”
Rose put her hands over her mouth. Davina awoke and heard the conversation.
“Jack’s dead?”
“Yes”
Davina raised her eyebrow.
“It seems like since you’ve come around, all of us are dying one after the other. Mack, now Jack, who’s next, Blake or me? We don’t-”
“Yea, I know I’m leaving! Just don’t blame me because Dean is the one who recruited all of you, humans… to do his job so ask Dean why you guys are dropping one by one.”
“No, we chose this!”
“Without proper training on every monster, it was suicide… it was death you chose.”
Davina was speechless.
Cain turned to Eliza and Sam.
“Let’s go.”
The bass in his voice felt like it shook the trees.
Eliza picked up Sam and followed behind Cain. Sam waved bye to Rose; she smiled and waved back. Davina struggled to stand up; she leaned against the tree, trying to straighten it.
“Blake, wake up!”
“It’s no use; he’s unconscious.”
“Great”
Dean and Lily joined the group, and Dean was full of rage. His fists were tightly balled up. Lily walked over to Davina to help her keep her balance.
“We do not need a fucking vampire to help us! We have been fine before; we don't need assistance from the monsters we kill!”
Davina and Rose nodded in agreement. Dean walked over to Blake and slapped him twice. Blake jolted awake.
“What! What happened!”
“Jack is dead, and Cain is gone; let’s move before the wolves come back.”
“What? Jack is dead.”
Dean didn’t even notice the sadness in Blake's eyes. He grabbed a duffle bag and started walking towards the road. Davina tried to comfort Blake.
“I’m sorry about Jack; you two were like brothers.”
“Yes… yes, we were.”
Blake's voice softened, and he looked defeated. He pulled himself up quickly, holding his arm, and headed in the same direction as Dean. Rose followed, with Davina and Lily trailing not too far behind. Rose was surprised that Cain, Eliza, and Sam were already gone.
“Where did they go that fast?”
“Who cares!” shouted Dean
Rose's heart dropped to her stomach.
“I know I was just… never mind.”
Rose understood Dean’s frustration; he lost two people, and Cain didn’t help. He didn't do anything to save Mack or Jack.
Everyone followed Dean down the road towards the next town over. The sun started to set as they walked for miles. Lily, who was far behind, heard a rustle in some bushes as she walked by.
“Who’s there?”
She pointed her gun at the bushes.
“Show yourself”
The rustling continued until she saw a wolf’s head peak out. Strangely she didn’t shoot it; the wolf wasn’t attacking her. She watched as the wolf turned back into a man. He was young, about her age. He stretched and yawned.
“I’m sorry, am I boring you? Or interrupting something?”
The wolf turned to look at Lily. His piercing blue eyes stared deep into her soul.
“Right, sorry”
He cracked a smile like he enjoyed seeing her tense.
“Come with me?”
“What? No!”
“Well, I’m trying to help you.”
“With?”
“Your friendly vampire problem?”
“Cain?”
“Yes, the big softie… I know how to kill him.”
“Thought he was, you know… unkillable.”
“He may think that, but I know otherwise.”
“Why would you help me anyways?”
He smiled, staring back into her eyes like he was reading her. His charming good looks didn’t amuse Lily. She rolled her eyes.
“Listen-”
“King”
“What? What the-”
“That’s my name.”
“Your name is King?”
“Yes”
“How ironic”
“Why?
“Being the only white wolf means you're the alpha.”
“I used to be”
“Anyways, King, just explain why you’d be helping me.”
“I’m helping the hunter.”
“Why?”
“Listen, there is a sword called the sword of Muerte. It said to be able to kill the first families.”
“Sword of Muerte”
“Yes”
“Okay, who has it?”
“I don’t know. As the hunter, he’ll know.”
King turned back into a wolf and ran into the forest, leaving Lily confused and annoyed. She started walking to catch up with the others.
“Sword searching to kill a vampire? Alright, can’t get any weirder than that.”
