Hybrid Hunting - Mariana Mendoza (web ebook reader .TXT) 📗

it was the only thing that was keeping all of us sane.
Melissa came to me and sat by one of my sides, facing my stomach. I stayed as calm as I could be, which meant that my calmness was the size of an ant’s fried heart eaten by a ant eater’s tube hole of a mouth.
She took some clear liquid, that was water mixed with an herb I never smelled before, and began to rub it on my stomach. It was cold, both the liquid and her hands. See? I always knew that witches were cold blooded.
She began to speak some words as she began to sprinkle more herbs and mover her hands in a circle motion above my stomach. Her eyes had closed shut and her words became louder. I smelled magic beginning to surround her. Then her palms faced down at my stomach and I felt her magic entering my body. My wolf growled deep inside me. She didn’t like to be invaded in her own territory. I didn’t like it either. I began to growl deep in my throat. I want to be let loose and claw the shit out of the witch.
Then I looked down at my stomach and froze, as stiff as a stone sculpture. Hell’s fuck house, I was beginning to think that I was a statue because as I looked down at my midsection, I could not only see my super dark pink and black organs, veins, and blood vessels but the frigid fucking shitty worms. And they were huge, and they were black. Evin and Marco gasped, surprised as a deer frozen in a UFO’s lights.
“ What are those things?” Evin asked.
“ Death” Marco whined out. I looked to him and saw a very frightful face. I had never seen Marco like that. Evin had the same face and he never had that look too? Was I the only one only nervous and not scared?
“ I don’t know but hold on. I think I know what they are but I have to make sure.” The witch said.
I snorted, pissed off and nervous, “ Let me guess, they’re satan’s little children playing the ‘kill Nina’ game.”
She grabbed a jar with clear liquid in it and opened it. The moment she did, the worms moved slightly towards Melissa. I gasped in pain. What I would do to kill both these hell’s gummy worms and the bitch witch. Melissa dipped her fingers into the water and then sprinkled drops onto my stomach. I gasped in pain.
What she did to me hurt like a bitch in labor with five thousand pups.
I screamed with all I had, my voice going a little lower than I liked. Sister wolf howled in pain, along with me and I even heard Marco howling along with us. Hearing sister wolf and in Marco in pain made my protective instincts to kick in. I pushed her to the farthest part of my mind, where the pain would only be dull, numbing her. Sister wolf struggled as I used my mental strength to cage her to protect her. I then thinned the connection between me and Marco but I was too late.
The skin on my stomach burned as if I was being lit by fire. I screamed again and tried to get some air in my lungs. But I couldn’t because the worms were moving really fast inside me, trying to move somewhere in my body that was sprinkled by the liquid. It hurt so bad that only my pure will kept me from going under the bus of dark unconsciousness. I couldn’t hear a thing because ringing, moving organs, and my heart beat was drowning everything. I realized that I had begun to see black spots.
The worms moved again, settling on my back, where it was safe for them. I made a sound that was in-between a groan and a whine. My heart beat a little faster than normal panic fast. I felt my fangs and claws about to come out but something stopped it. I then felt the power of my wolf keeping back both vamp and werewolf transformation.
Thank you

She said nothing. I whined in my mind.
I’m sorry, its a habit. I just don’t like hearing you in pain.
I want out. I want to help you, be there for you but you won’t let me. Let me, for once in our lives, Nina.

She whined to me. She sounded angry and frustrated and worried. A whole soup full of veggie crap. I didn’t like hearing her pain but I also didn’t like my wolf mad at me. I was debating wether protecting her from something she could handle would be better than losing her forever in hate and rejection. I knew she was at her final hay straw. She would explode and abandon me if I didn’t let her help. Thinking about her leaving me was more painful than the damn worms. I guess she won, for once.
I let her out of the mental cage. She ran next to my mind, our souls almost combining.
Thank you
I didn’t get a chance to respond because I was suddenly able to hear the world around me.
“ Don’t ever do that again, Melissa, or else I’ll kill you myself.” Evin threatened her. I looked up at him, seeing that his eyes were mexican border line from going red.
“ No, I will kill you personally. How dare you indulger Nina.” Marco growled at her. His voice was so very close to wolf. I looked to him as well and saw his eyes were already gold. I remembered he had howled in pain. It must have been the bond. I guess he had felt a little of my pain. Damn you, bond.
“ What was that fucking liquid, witch?” I asked Melissa. My voice was more of a whispered gasp. Evin and Marco turned back to me, their faces showed relief.
She didn’t answer me. She was pale and frowning.
“ What?”
She sighed, “ You were right. These are hell’s children. The liquid was holy water. Nina…”
“ What?”
The hell’s children thing was a joke. Was she taking it literally? I began to feel a sinking feeling. Holy satan’s balls, I definitely wasn’t going to like this.
“ Nina, you have three demons inside you.” she said.
“ What!” Both the boys screamed out at simultaneously.
I felt myself paling. damn, shit, and fuck all over. I was really going to kill Master the next time I saw him.
Evin, Marco, and the bitch witch were all quiet, taking all of it in. They looked down at me, curious of what my reaction would be. I looked at them all and sighed.
“ Well, fuck my luck.” I said.
And for the second time, I fell back to the pool of darkness.

Five

I am in a huge room, all with black drapes, white tiled floor and red seats that are all filled. There are a lot of people here. They are all either staring at me or at Daddy, who has seated me on his lap. I don’t say anything because I’m scared. Some are serious while others are angry or scared, like me. I don’t squeeze Daddy’s hand or hug him. I am a big girl so I have to not show I am scared.

I’m scared, Nina.
It was my sister wolf. Mommy said I had to protect her and she will naturally protect me. I loved my little sister because she was small and got scared easy. I loved protecting her.
We’e fine, these are our people. They love us.
I imagined myself petting my baby sister’s light brown fur. The fur around her red-brown eyes was a darker brown than the rest of her fur. Her fur was my fur and my skin was her’s. She calmed down and went back to sleep.
“ Here, my baby girl.” Daddy says, handing me a big mouse.
I frown, “ I’m not a baby, I’m a big girl.” I say.
“ I know, now feed, sweetheart.” Daddy says.
I do as he says. He pulls me closer to him.
“ Oh, mother moon, did you really have to do that? You know I’m not good when I have to watch my girl kill a living creature.” I hear mom say.
Daddy said nothing but kiss her. I didn’t see because I was too busy looking at the mouse. It looked so juicy. I began to see a little red. Daddy said seeing red could be dangerous sometimes. I took the soft mouse and caressed it, trying to calm it down. I opened my mouth and felt my fangs come out.
I bit down on the mouse’s back. It said or did nothing. It only took a few gulps to be done. I felt some of the mouse’s blood stain my lips red. I look up at Daddy, seeing that he was nodding with a tiny smile for me.
“ Good, girl.” he said.
I loved Daddy’s smiling face. His eyes were the brightest….

I suddenly woke up from my sleep, making me lose the dream that was about to show me how my father looked like. I was going to murder whoever woke me up. I looked around and saw that I was inside a very dark room. There was not a single stream of sunlight anywhere. My senses said it was morning so that meant that I had slept in the witch bitch’s house. I wanted to shoot myself with a rifle.
My head was on top of something soft while my feet were warm and squished by something furry and warm. I sat up and looked behind me to see Evin staring at me, smiling. I almost jumped through the wooden roof.
“ Don’t do that, Evin, you fucking scared the living demons out of me.” I told him.
“ If only removing them were that easy.” he murmured.
My feet had gone cold the moment I started talking. I looked to them and noticed Marco was shifting back to human form.
“ Show off.” I heard Evin mutter.
Marco was one magnificent beast. And little Marco wasn’t even close to the word little. I looked back up to Marco’s face. He was studying me, seeing if I was fine. I grinned at him.
“ Don’t worry, sweetheart, I’m fine.” I told him.
“ Sweetheart?” Evin asked.
I looked back to him, watching his face going sad.
“ Yeah, haven’t you noticed yet that he’s my changeling? He’s my kid I have to take care of since he’s bounded to me.” I said.
“ Ah.” Evin’s face went back to smiling. Boys.
“ Nina, we have to go tell your father about this. He has a lot of allies that owe him.
