The Truth About Katrina Remora - Ash Knight (best books to read fiction TXT) 📗

of the underground tunnel room and up to the sun bathed world above again.
"Wendy! Wendy slow, down darn it!" He heard Katrina say, under her breath he heard her cursing.
Panicked about why they we're out in the forest at three in the morning, he followed behind Katrina quietly.
He noticed that, for a human, she ran quite quickly, Especially in flip flops.
But the moment he heard Wendy's horrified scream he found out just how fast she really was. Running seemed second nature to her, as she rounded a tree and came face to face with Wendy and a gigantic wolf.
The beast lunged, for Wendy. But she was fast even if in hysterics. She spun around and ran to Katrina, grabbing her hand and trying to pull her along. Katrina looked at the beast in utter amazment and suprise, but absolutly no fear.
"Katrina!" She heard Wendy screaming as she tugged her along. Then, like a horror movie waiting to happen, another beast of a deep grey almost identical to the other except in size, where this one was smaller, came out from behind a huddle of trees. At the sight of a second one Wendy screamed louder.
The beast knocked Wendy aside and focused on Katrina. From the corner of her eye Katrina saw Wendy hit her head and fall. Slumping into a lump of flesh and bone onto the forest floor.
Before she could decide weither or not to shoot the beast with the gun she had stuffed into her bag at last minute, the beast struck. Hitting her hard in the head with it's huge paw.
At first there was only surprise and shock, then the pain became as clear as the warm red stuff oozing down the side of her head. In an instant everything changed. One minute she is standing there bleeding, staring at a beast in horror. Then she is laying on the ground staring up at Allister as he cussed out at the human who had joined them and now stood where the beast had just seconds ago.
"Katrina? Kat, can you hear me? Look at me Kat, look at me!"Allister said in a panicked voice. Already calculating the exact amount of time she had before that gash and huge mark would become deadly, knowing that she was loosing alot of blood, and the discoherant look she was giving him wasn't helping his odds.
"Alistair? What the...?" She asked in a small, quiet, half her, half not, voice.
"Yeah it's me, look at me Kat, can you see me? Can you hear me?" He asked anxiously. Worried by how her eyes kept trying to roll into the back of her head. When she didn't answer and he saw her eyes close the rest of the way he made an impulse decision. "Daru, take the woman back to her house and get back without anyone seeing you." He said to the big muscly black man who stood in the place of the wolf, rattling off Kat's address as he picked her up and spun around. Back towards the raven.
"Yes, sir." Daru said as he scooped Wendy up and turned in the direction of the town.
"Don't worry, I have you, I won't let you die, mo chroi, I promise." Allister said, hoping he would be able to keep the promise.
