Sapna

But what are these Vampires doing here at this hour? They must have a death wish if they are here to hunt inside a Werewolf pack's territory on a Full Moon night. Because werewolves become way more powerful on a Full Moon night than on usual days. They attain their highest potential.

Our strength is positively correlated with the size of the moon. Though that doesn't make us weak on a new moon. Our strength never goes below it's original level of potential.

But they are 3 vampires. We are 2 werewolves. And the cherry on top is that I can't shift at will. I never did since my first shift. So even the full moon won't help us to defeat these 3 rogues.

I am sure they are rogues as no sane, civilized vampire would ever hunt on a pack's territory without permission of the concerning alpha, and never on a Full Moon even with the Alpha's permission. Plus no alpha would permit that even at dire circumstances.

It's kind of ironic, but mortal enemies or not, mostly all the supernatural species have agreed on peaceful coexistence. That excludes the 'Rogues', those Supernaturals that are still hellbent on taking over the world.

We can't fight them alone. We must seek help of other wolves. They are nearby. I can smell. Run as fast as possible on my signal. Dad told me through mind link.

Mind link is a sort of telepathic mechanism within the Wolves of the same pack. It doesn't extend to wolves from other packs or lone wolves. Though within immediate blood relationship, mind link works fine even if the wolves belong to different packs.

The vampires lunged at us with the speed of lightening. But as planned, we were standing in a position so that when they would hit us, the kinetic energy of the attack will throw our bodies at a very far distance from them so we can have an easy escape.

Everything went as planned. When our feet touched the ground we combined the left off kinetic energy of the hit with our own kinetic force to take another long jump. Then we ran as fast as we could.

We were headed towards the direction where the smell of the pack members was coming from. They must be out by now to take wolf forms together under the bright moon.

But the hope of survival suppressed when I heard the vampires approaching nearer. They were way faster than us. Suddenly our race came to a halt as dad stopped in his tracks without warning, making me almost fall on the ground. But I didn't fall, thank goodness.

I looked to his face, only for him to look towards me instantly with an unknown fear marring his features. He is scared for our lives. My life.

"They are faster than I anticipated. We can't escape. At least not together. I will distract them. I'll take them far away, while you go out and bring help." That's not a plan I like much.

"Dad it could be dangerous. What if they caught up to you before I arrive? I can't risk your life." I reasoned. Dad is an experienced fighter. But he alone is no match for three rogue vampires.

"No, I'll be safe till you come. They are coming. Hide Sapna."

I heard them approaching. Dad hid me, forcefully, inside an empty tree trunk. I saw them follow behind as my dad trailed off. And I sat there, sobbing at my cowardice.

I should've fought with them. A true werewolf would have done that. A Luna would have done that. But I stayed hidden, like a weak coward.

Few minutes later, they were out of my hearing range. That was a nice opportunity to go and seek help. I ran in the direction where the howling came from. I knew the pack was nearby.

Then I heard a howl. A different one. Like a cry. As recognition hit me, my face paled. I knew the voice.

Dad. Dad where are you? Answer me. You promised to be safe. Please respond........What was that howl for? Are you......are you hurt?

He didn't reply. I felt him trying to block my mind link, but he couldn't. He must be hurt if he can't block the mind link properly. I followed my father's scent and ran in that direction.

Suddenly my feet stopped as I saw my dad. Lying immobile.

Is he dead?

No, this can't happen. I ran towards his body now laying stiff on the rough ground. I checked his pulse, his breathing, his heart beat. Everything has stopped. I was frozen when I noticed the two red holes on his neck. Those vampires bit him. Vampire bite is poisonous to werewolves and vice versa. If dad had been bitten by those vampires, there's...there's...he....he..he can't survive.

Time stopped when I finally realized how far away he was from me. Why he won't respond to my words, why he can't? He was dead.

"Nooooooooo." I cried as loud as I never did. Tears kept flooding from my eyes. I hugged him closer to me in the most tight grip, hoping he would respond or his body would react in any way. Nothing helped. His body lay there, lifeless, Forever. I lost him forever. He left me, just like mom.

"So our little puppy is here, crying for her dead father." Spoke a cold voice.

I turned to encounter two of the vampires. They did this. They killed my dad.

"You killed him. You killed my dad. You are gonna pay for this." I growled.

A fury of rage took over me. The only word that kept repeating in my brain was 'revenge'.

Kissing my dad's forehead as a final goodbye, I stood up and lunged at those murderers. I landed a punch on one's face and kicked the other one in the stomach.

They fell back, but to my shock, both started laughing hysterically. They stood up and threw me a few feet away in a flash of a second. They were very strong and fast, unlike any vampire I ever fought previously.

Blood dropped from the left corner of my lips, my hands and legs painfully bruised. Then I felt cracking in my bones, my muscles shifting. My body burned. I cried from the scorching sensation. I knew what was happening. And I was glad for it. In a few seconds I shifted completely into my wolf form. A howl was heard from afar. I howled the same. Loudly so I could be heard by Ansh.

Those vampires ran towards me, gritting their teeth. I used my years of training to fight them. I tried to bite their body, to dismantle it. I threw one very far away, flying in the air. Before he came back, I dealt with the one at hand. Taking him off guard I broke his neck, and tore him apart.

With a satisfied growl, I went to attack the other one, when someone landed on my back, choking me. It was the third vampire. I was fighting to free myself from his grip, when another vampire punched my jaw. He kept kicking and punching while the other kept me caged. Gathering up all my strength, I broke free and spun around throwing them away.

I took the chance to retreat and ran as fast as possible. Running for a while, I changed back to my human form to hide. And the plan worked. I blended my scent with the environment and hid behind a big stone.

They were assaulting the trees around to find me. As a result one huge tree fell down, hiding my presence further. They took off from that place to search for me.

When I was assured that they went far away, I came out of my hiding and tried to escape. Keyword 'tried'.

I felt all the injuries I had suffered. My body was covered in scratches and bruises. My legs were nearly broken. Blood oozing from my face, palms, forearms and feet.

They hadn't tried to injure me fatally or kill me. They were trying to overpower me. If they were hunting, why won't they kill me as they did exactly that with my dad?

I felt thirsty and weak. I couldn't stand. My vision started to blur, leading towards unconsciousness. My dad's face flashed in front of me telling me not to give up as he used to do while training.

Then I felt someone crash land on me. I was about to get up to run from this potential danger, when I sensed it was a human.

She must have stumbled upon the tree trunk and fell on me. She noticed me and asked me something I couldn't understand. I couldn't hear her voice. I couldn't hear anything. But maybe she noticed my injured state as she started cleaned my wounds with her handkerchief.

I asked her something but I couldn't figure out what. Maybe I asked her to help me cause that was the only thing going on and on in my mind. The way she looked at me, I knew she would help me. I felt her put something on my injuries. She took out a small bottle of water from her bag and made me drink. I finished the bottle in one breath.

I noticed she was injured too. Had cuts on her arms. She looked exhausted like she had been running like me, from something. She was constantly trying to get me up, when I heard him approaching. His scent filled my nostrils, surged a new energy inside me. He was coming for me. And there he was. He found me.

Then the woman stood up, looking at him, she was scared by his arrival. I could sense her fear. They talked for a while though I couldn't hear a single letter. But my vision was clear.

I saw other pack members arrive in their wolf forms, except for Paras who was in his human form, like Ansh. The woman kept talking to Ansh, but every time he would repeat the same single phrase. I tried to read his lips.

He was asking her to leave my side. Maybe he thought she was trying to harm me. Not maybe, he did think that, I felt it. Paras came behind her with a big log of wood, but before I could warn anybody, he hit her head. She slowly fell down, closing her eyes. She went unconscious.

I saw Ansh changing into wolf form taking an attack position. He was about to attack her. That thought ran an unfamiliar energy through me. I mustered up all my strength and blurted out "stop" immediately to prevent him from harming my saviour.

Everyone looked at me, quizzically. I stood up. I felt the slow healing of my injuries.

"Don't hurt her. She saved my life." I said in one breath.

Ansh took his human form and ran towards me supporting me to stand still.

"What are you saying. If not her then who did this?" Asked Ansh in a worried and confused voice.

I felt light trembling in his hands. He had been scared for me. Taking in a relaxing breath I began to talk.

"On our way to the pack, 3 vampires attacked us. Th-they were strong so dad asked me to look for help while he distracted them. But..... But...they killed him. I tried to fight them, killed one, but the other two caught me off guard. I ran away. I was gravely injured when she stumbled upon me and helped me. Look at the band aids she put on my injuries. You can't hurt her." I explained.
