Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8

In the late hours of the night.

The picture of Marshall Willington, the white-haired stud from the school is still hung on the wall in the slightly dark room from earlier. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure who was tapping, quietly roamed in the room while gazing at the picture. Suddenly, a cracking sound plays on the roof of the house as if a living being was walking on it. In a split of seconds, the mysterious figure is revealed to be Sasha Giggs, the red haired _ the one who was marked as the Lunar sovereign. She quickly grabbed a touch light from the table, pointing the beam of light towards the ceiling in attempt to find the source of the sound.

Immediately, a menacing creature broke into her living room. As it reached the ground, it revealed itself for what it was _ a werewolf.

On hearing the sound, Sasha reached for her fire arm kept in the drawers. More of these creatures jumped in through the window, tearing down the protective iron bars. One of them broke into her room but she greeted it with a silver bullet to the head.

It fell instantly to the ground, its blood splashed on the wall and on the bed. Sasha quickly unhooked Marshall's picture, and in a swift motion, she opened a basement which leads to an escape route underneath, and grabbed a few important items.

In attempt to enter into the basement, another werewolf jumped in, it hit her to the corner of the room. Trying to regain stamina, Sasha pulled out a fighting equipment with sharp silver ends. The werewolf swings itself to where she was standing, but before it reached her, she thrust the silver end equipment, withdrawing it covered in the blood of the creature.

In a powerful move, she dashed the picture frame on the face of he creature as it persistently sought to resume its attack, then skillfully, she fired a bullet into its eyes. It roared before reverting to a human. In that moment, Sasha's heart skipped as she heared another gunshot in the living room accompanied with a commanding male voice which uttered _ 'Take them out and get her!'. She instantly knew she had another company.

She quickly rolled up the picture and tossed the broken frame on the ground, then she stashed the picture in an access panel. She pulled out her bullet proof vest from her wardrobe, and jumped into the basement. The man giving orders was no other than Heinrich Koch, the German hunter. His team stroke down a few werewolves with their formidable advanced tools.

While they enclosed on them, one of the werewolves jumped and slashed the neck of one of the hunters with its strong sharp fingers. The hunter fell to the ground holding his neck as he bleed to death. Another werewolf swinging from one corner to another, reached for Andrew Shaw; Heinrich's second in command. It attempts to bite his head off but Andrew released two bullet in a row _ one was buried in its arm, and the other, in its thigh. Simultaneously, Heinrich unleashed a high tech weapon on another werewolf which zoomed in the air about to take on his team. The werewolf quickly fell to the ground, roaring while transforming to its human form. Other werewolves made their way out of the house immediately. Heinrich cared less about them since his mission was to capture Sasha.

Meanwhile, Sasha who had successfully pulled through a hidden tunnel, busted out into the woods, running as fast as she can to escape her pursuers. Unfortunately for her, a bullet materialised from the thin air, knocking her from behind to the ground. Luckily, the bullet hit a bulletproof vest she wore earlier. She tried to stay conscious and firm but for a while, she could not see clearly.

Suddenly, a man walked out of the thick darkness. His face seems hidden as he lifted her, collecting every item of hers on the floor. In a calm demeanor, he carefully placed her in the truck and drove away.

Heinrich and his team finally got out through the escape route, but they were too late as they found no trace of Sasha.

Andrew Shaw (Second in command), panting: "She's gone! She escaped!"

Heinrich, gritting his teeth: "Aah!!"

( He shouted, while kicking a tree.)

Heinrich, turns to his team in a determined manner: "Go back into the house, take every living werewolf-human you can find! We need to know why they want her, and put an end to this mess!"

(He walked out on them as they deligently moved to carry out his command.)

The following morning, Patrick Russel, the head of werelvolve investigation and his team converge at Sasha's house. They mean to use it as a case study which would likely aid their investigation. The detectives wore hand gloves, pointing a flash light at the items inside the house, observing them critically.

Patrick Russel, in a low tone: "Ahhh, these attacks keep getting worst."

David Psalm (a detective): "Could this be related to the shadow reaper?"

Patrick, skeptically walking into the house: "We could never know. This whole thing could be bigger than the reaper himself. The question is why are we here?"

(Patrick talked while flashing light on the hidden corners of the house. Immediately after, another dectective who goes by the name; Net Jacobs, walked up to him with the picture Sasha hid before she took off.)

Patrick, curious: "What's this?"

Net Jacobs, unrolling the picture: "A picture....Sir."

(Patrick silently starred at the picture for a few seconds _ The picture of Marshall Willington. It had blood stains on it.)

Patrick: "Where did you find it?"

Net, responding with alacrity: "In the acess panel."

David, intensely gazing at the picture: "Is this even a real person?"

Patrick: "We never know who is real these days. However, the scanning machines always reveals who is."

Drex Ambrose, pacing in a majestic manner through the confines of a futuristic decorated Tech building, in a high-necked black coat, with both hands in the pocket. He walks into a small office, softly punching a key on the computer keyboard. Shulan Sung, a chinese operator, and a robust partner, popps up on the computer screen.

Drex: "What happened last night?"

Shulan Sung: "Werewolf hunters. They intruded during the attack and rounded some of our wolves up."

Drex, gets pissed, but maintained a calm demeanor: "And they took her?"

Shulan Sung: "Yes, they did."

(Drex bends his head in disappointment for a few seconds, lifting it up intensely looking at the screen.)

Drex, commands: "We cannot afford to lose her to anyone! Find who these hunters are. I want to know everything about them! Its crucial we know who they work for and what they want to do with her! And also, keep me informed if you and your team identifies a mole among us!"

Shulan, with assurance: "We will."
