•chapter eighteen• |you're okay|
The berzerkers come forward. Two of them.
Closer.
I take a step back, adrenaline pumping through my bones.
And I take another shot. My uncle takes to the left and I run to him.
"We got a plan other than shooting?" I ask, re-loading my gun.
Chris takes a step to the side and runs forward- trying to catch Kate.
I turn around and a hard surface smacks against my head, causing me to fall to the ground.
I look up at the berzerker, who growls at me, holding a sharp bone above.
He thrusts it down but I turn, sliding against the floor and escaping near death. The berzerker snarls, tugging the sharp bone from the ground. I take a step forward and push my foot against the berzerker, and it tumbles.
Only briefly, as it leaps up, grabbing my throat and holding it tightly.
He soars for the wall, smacking my body against it.
Once.
Twice.
I close my eyes, grunting as I reach for my gun and put it up. The berzerker snarls aggressively and punches my wrist. The gun colliding with the floor. He bangs me against the wall and for a second I buzz out- everything around me going blurry.
Get back on the ground. Fight back. For Liams sake god damn.
I watch Scott leap for the berzerker, pushing him to the ground and both landing in a tumble.
I sag to the floor, crawling for my gun.
Everything goes dizzy but I shove past it, past the cuts and bruises on my skin. I snatch the gun and stand up.
I see the berzerker throw Scott through walls and I soar for him, shooting numerous places.
Mostly, I try to shoot in between the animal bones he wears. Wishing I'd make a difference.
The berzerker smacks me to the floor again and I let out a strangled grunt as he sprints for Scott.
I attempt to lift myself up off the ground, failing miserably.
I grunt- shivering with pain.
I stand up, gripping the wall with bloody hands. I reach into my boots and pull out a dagger, heading into the direction of the berzerker.
Everything goes in slow motion.
I sprint toward the berzerker that fights Scott.
He swings his arm to smack me again but I duck, gripping my dagger tighlty, zipping through the berzerkers large legs and leaping behind him.
I swing my arm at his tendencies, the only parts of his legs that aren't covered in thick bone.
I slash through his tendencies and the berzerker staggers down.
Meaning berzerker is immobilised until he heals.
This buys Scott enough time to run.
I run side by side- both of us attempting to reach Chris.
The berzerkers legs heal and he chases after us.
Kate's loud strong voice echos through the warehouse once again.
The berzerker holds Chris by the neck and begins to kill him.
But Kate- who hasn't lost all humanity just yet- shouts through the warehouse.
"NO!"
Both berzerkers back off, as Kate tries to help up Chris.
I take one last glance at Kate's glowing green eyes before her and her two berzerkers disappear.
I sag my shoulders, putting the dagger back into my boot and my gun back into its holster.
Chris walks to Scott- still recovering from his injuries.
"We aren't gonna find him" Scott whispers, his eyes glassy with tears that he refrains to show.
Chris arches his eyebrow.
"There's still time"
Scott shakes his head. Sighing.
Chris makes his voice louder this time, more stronger and certain.
"There's still time"
And as of cue- Chris and I hear a faint howl from not too far away.
But to Scott- all he can hear is his baby beta, somewhere lost, calling for him.
And that howl is enough to give Scott a clue of where Liam is.
I stagger closer to Chris as we both watch Scott sprint away. Chris and myself trying our best to keep up with him.
But Scotts a wolf, keeping up with him is almost impossible.
Chris and I run through mazes of trees to keep up with Scott. Still many metres behind despite our best efforts.
Still feeding on little bits of adrenaline we have left.
Scott stops at an item in the centre of a plain area.
Scott props himself up and reaches down into a hole, sweat beading on his forehead.
He grips onto something and hoists it up.
I see the boy who I have grown so fondly of- get hoisted up from a far.
I feel my uncle wrap his arm around me. Smiling.
"We did it. We found him" Chris exclaims. We slowly approach them.
"You're okay Liam" Scott mumbles.
Scott then pulls Liam into a hug.
"You're okay"
