Finding You, Again
Us 8 - Found and Black

"Mrs. Kaindra, I hope you've prepared the information that I requested yesterday, right?" I asked, looking at him carefully.

He was not seen carrying any files, even though the information I requested as a requirement for his proposal was very complicated.

Setting up an animal shelter requires more licensing than just building a burger stand.

For a moment he looked at me and then laughed out loud. A laugh that inexplicably sounded unpleasant to my ears.

"What's wrong with you?" just pissed.

What does the laugh mean? I don't want to waste time right now.

"I can't believe you still believe the nonsense about the animal shelter, you're completely innocent young Miss" he said in a still friendly tone, completely incompatible with what he said.

"What do you mean?!!"

Before he answered, I suddenly felt a pull from behind and now Mark's giant back was in front of me.

"Who are y'all? And what do you want?" Mark rebuked them with a loud voice.

I shifted a little to the side to see more clearly, as Mark's body blocked my view completely forward.

And then I screamed in surprise "Mark what are you doing? Why are you carrying a gun?"

Mark who was usually always friendly-faced, now looked ferociously while pointing a gun at them.

"They're not what you think Miss Delmora is, you better take cover behind me" Mark replied in a soft voice and with eyes still looking at them unblinkingly.

"Well, you're quick to understand the situation, you're smart!"

The man by the name of Kaindra gave a compliment in a light tone, as if Mark had managed to answer a quiz in the classroom.

Is he still sane? How could he behave like that at gunpoint?

The sound of the car engine roaring loudly shocked all of us.

The jet-black car sped up and then stopped right next to the car I was driving earlier, with a noisy squeaking sound.

A sign that the car has just been forced to stop suddenly, after being driven at maximum speed.

Our attention was all immediately distracted, with the exception of Mark, his face remained cold looking at the four people before him.

The driver of the car opened the door violently. And my heart immediately melted in shock, Duke!

The driver of that ugly car was Duke!!!

Why is he here? What is he doing here?!! Millions of questions turned up in my heart, making me forget all around.

The sound of dry laughter coming back from the strange man's mouth, made me aghast.

"You are indeed amazing Duke!!! I shouldn't underestimate you. But I will give you a minus because you came here alone" he said, looking at the now slowly walking Duke approaching me and Mark.

What else is this?? He knows Duke?

---------- *0o0*----------------

Gotcha!!! After a long time trying to find the scent of Bee in the air, I finally found it. The smell of coffee and chocolate is fragrant, smelled from the west side of the road I am passing now.

El and Id contacted me about ten minutes ago. The two places they went to were nil. There was no sign of vampires there.

It meant the sharp scent I smelled, this time leading me to the right place. Ever since I got word from El, I opened the window of my car trying to find Bee's scent in the air.

And I'm glad that way it worked.

I stepped on the gas pedal deeper and deeper, from the scent I smelled they should not be too far away, still faint, but I knew they were close.

El had told me to wait for him to come, so I wasn't alone when facing them. But I ignored, The longer I wait, the more dangerous Bee is.

And..that's them!!! After searching for about half an hour around this forest, I found them.

The man I hate the most and the woman I love the most. They were on an empty patch of land standing face to face with a distance of about a few meters.

The show seems to have begun. Mark was pointing his gun at Egon.

I'm a little happy at least Bee's not alone, but it also means there's another human being involved in this business. I don't know what to explain, if they start to change.

Egon's signature bland laugh, immediately blurted out when he saw me get off the car.

Carefully approaching Bee and Mark, they turned out to be in a closer distance than I had thought before.

The plan was that I would keep them away from here, only then would I serve whatever the wishes of that crazy man who had not stopped laughing.

"You are indeed amazing Duke!!! I shouldn't underestimate you. But I will give you a minus because you came here alone" he shouted, enthusiastically.

I snorted "I'm alone enough to separate your head from your body"

I glanced at Bee who was now looking at me questioningly and a bit of horror.

For the...how do I explain all this if he asks later?

I'm not that smart to be able to fabricate a lie involving an event of this magnitude. I swallowed a desperate moan with great difficulty. I'll take care of that later. My concentration must not be split when facing Egon.

"How did you get here? I didn't expect you to know at all" Egon asked as he looked at me with interest.

"You should have told your pale friend to wear a deodorant, so that they don't spread the smell of dead fish all the way" I replied to him flatly.

A crazy smile immediately dissipated from Egon's face "You can still smell their scent? That witch t*l*l is so useless!!" the thrill\, with a disappointment that can not be hidden.

They apparently tried to use the witch's body-smelling herb, but failed to predict how powerful my nose was.

"You're friends with other useless people? I guess it's just them" I pointed at the three people standing behind him.

I recognize one of them. The man's brain was more or less the same rotten trash as Egon's,

Linus!

I'm sure El would be very happy to meet him. Linus is El's stepfather. And all these years, El wanted to kill him.

On his face is still the result of my father's actions with real, half of his face was destroyed.

Linus seemed to want to pounce on me immediately, but Egon prevented it.

I'm sure Linus' biggest wish right now is to tear my neck apart, because more or less, I'm the one who caused his face to shatter.

But it was worth it for him. I have absolutely no regrets about what happened to Linus.

I smiled sinisterly as I looked at Linus who was also looking at me, even though from just one eye, lust wanted to kill me was clearly visible there.

"You look handsome Linus!!" my spoken.

"Mrs. Adalrik, I hope you don't make them angry more than now" I'm a little bearded to hear Mark call me Adalrik. I haven't heard that name in a long time.

"Whatever I say, it won't make them stop his intention to attack Mark! Get ready!" I gestured with my eyes to let them away.

Mark nodded as he crept backwards with the still-beautiful-faced Bee behind him.

"How did you know?" I asked Egon. My hand touched the gun in my coat pocket, making sure it was ready.

Egon scrunched his face before finally understanding.. "You mean about him?" His hand pointed at Bee whose face was getting pale.

Shit!! I have to finish this. Bee could suddenly faint if this continued.

"That's easy, Duke! Your father kindly explained it to me. It took me a little while to find his identity, but I managed to overcome it" he said lightly.

B*j*ng*n damned!!!

I trust him with the most confidential information. But even betrayal is earned in return. My anger at Egon is back up one level higher now.

"And then, you didn't transform at all when you heard I had attacked your father. You're good at self-control, but you can't miss a chance to tear my neck. My guess, and I think it's appropriate, is that you lost your wolf like Owen. You guys are so similar!" inexplicably.

"Don't mention his name with your dirty mouth\, b*d*b*h!!" My hardikku.

"Oh.it's a surprise!! You're no longer angry with her, does this mean that Zhena's mouth finally gave up?" ask him in a mocking tone.

"This is the second warning. Take care of your words, before I make you regret!!" sergeant fierce.

"Ups!!... He told you everything, it turns out. This is no fun, you no longer hate it! " His face looked disappointed that the blowing scheme that lasted for 8 years had been destroyed.

"All right, we better get it done now. I'm bored!" while saying it he signaled the 3 people behind him to attack.

"Mark!! take Bee away from here as far as possible" I shouted.

I pulled out the gun in my pocket and aimed at Egon's head.

OH!!!!!

The sound of an eruption filled the air.

"Aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!.............."

The hysterical scream from Bee closed my ears.

I don't blame him, Egon is now lying on his side with most of his stomach crushed by my shot. It's not a beautiful sight.

Unfortunately he did not die, but at least the wound would not heal anytime soon.

I was aiming for his head of course, but Egon saw as I pulled the gun out.

He jumped dodging at the right moment, my bullet missed, but I managed to destroy most of the side of his right abdomen.

Fresh blood soaked the grass and his body.

Linus and the other two people froze where they saw the state of Egon. They certainly didn't think I had a gun hunter.

I replaced my Dessert Eagle gun with Abel's Hunter gun.

I asked Abel when we met yesterday. He actually did not agree too much, but given the threat of Crispin and Egon, he finally let it go.

And I'm happy because it turns out that the gun is very useful now.

This gun has incredible explosive power. Able to destroy the heads of vampires and werewolves who are still in human form in one shot.

Unfortunately, this gun can only be filled with two bullets. Only one shot remained after this. I should use it wisely.

With a gasp of breath Egon glared at me sharply "Abel!!" he muttered with rage.

His face frowned in pain, one hand trying to hold a gaping wound that was much wider than his palm.

I sniffed his shoulders, of course he knew where I got this gun from. I wouldn't be surprised.

"Kill them!!" he shouted, waking up Linus and his men who had been standing still because they were confused to see the state of Egon.

The three of them attacked simultaneously. The sound of bone-churning brought bad news to me. They're transforming!!

THE BANG!!

I fired my last bullet at the werewolf closest to me. The bullets would be useless if they were to transform completely. This way at least my opponent is reduced by one.

His head exploded like fireworks and flashed brain fragments in all directions. Messy really!!

"Aaaaaaaaghhhhh............"

A scream that was no less hysterical came back from Bee.

I forgot!! this scene was of course worse than just a broken stomach. Especially with two wolves the size of a truck that now stands straight in front of us.

---------- *0o0*----------------

What kind of madness is this?

They spoke a language I understood, but none of the things they said, I could understand.

And how did Duke get to know Mark? Not to mention Mark called her by a strange name.

Mark now walked backwards slowly following Duke's orders, my body following him obediently. My brain feels stuck at the moment, unable to think of anything.

"You mean about him?". I surged in surprise, the man pointed at me!! What else is this?

"That's easy, Duke! Your father kindly explained it to me. It took me a little while to find his identity, but I managed to overcome it"

"And then, you didn't transform at all when you heard I had attacked your father. You're good at self-control, but you can't miss a chance to tear my neck. My guess, and I think it's appropriate, is that you lost your wolf like Owen. You guys are so similar!"

Kaindra answered again with a sentence that I thought was magical.

The transformation? The wolf? What are they really talking about?

After that I could only hear the swearing, and a few other magical sentences that I did not understand.

All this happened too fast, my brain couldn't digest it.

"Mark!! get Bee out of here as far as possible"

Suddenly I heard Duke yelling then sliding his body towards me and Mark, blocking them from attacking us.

The sound of a very loud eruption made me gasp in shock. But the creepy sight in front of me made me lose my mind.

I screamed with all my might!! How not?

The man who a few minutes ago had just shaken hands with me, was now lying on the ground with his body intact, part of his stomach missing, as if someone had shot him with a cannonball.

The Duke stood tall in front of Mark holding a strangely shaped pistol that was still smoky. He shot Kaindra!!! Is he crazy?!!

What kind of horror is this? I could feel my breath now shortening because my heart was beating too fast.

For a moment of silence. Duke still pointed his gun forward. Mark clutched my hand tightly now.

I think he was also surprised to see the wounds inflicted by Kaindra, they did not look like ordinary gunshot wounds.

I don't know with the power from where, seeing him alive I'm surprised, Kaindra shouted a call to attack us again.

The sound of Duke's gun bursting again boomed. I lowered my head and closed my eyes tightly, not daring to see the aftermath of the eruption again.

Something sticky and wet hit my cheek.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah........!!!!"

I automatically screamed after seeing it. It was a head cut still complete with hair.

Duke blew the head off one of them. I could see a headless body lying not far from where the Duke was standing

My screams for the third time were held back, in shock at the senseless sight that was now in front of me.

Two large, not-very-large wolves stood in front of us. Yep... God, what's this nightmare? How could? Where were the two people who were about to attack us?

This must be a dream, this is my nightmare that feels real, as always. I pinched my hand hard only to find it was all real. I was in a conscious state.

But the creature before me is an impossibility. My legs and body began to tremble in fear, accepting the reality, I was dealing with a monster that I had thought only existed in nightmares.

Mark's body next to mine was also shaking violently, I glanced at him and saw his face as pale as a cloud. And this tells me if I'm sane.

That giant wolf is not the result of the hallucinations created by my chaotic brain, Mark saw it too.

"Focus Mark!!! Don't lose to your fear!!" shouted Duke. The Duke's countenance did not change at all looking at the two wolves. He remained calm then threw his gun to the ground.

Simultaneously, the two wolves advanced towards Duke....

---------- *0o0*----------------

I jumped up quickly dodging the wolf Linus while pulling out the knife I had pinned at my feet. My speed will not be inferior to a lowly wolf like Linus.

Linus only managed to pounce on the empty ground. I walked to the ground with all my might and threw my body at him. I put my knife to his foot.

The snoring from Linus' snout told my attack about it. But I could also feel his claws pierce through my shoulders. My shoulders are burning and hot.

I managed to slash Linus' leg muscles as blood poured out from him. The wolf tried to get up but the injured leg got in the way. It took a few minutes of healing before he could wake up again.

The other wolf was about to attack, when it saw that my shoulder was injured, but the sound of gunfire stopped its advance. Mark shot him blindly.

I greatly appreciated his intention to help, but his actions were very useless. A semi-automatic pistol with a small caliber will only give the werewolf skin an itch.

F*ck!!!! The wolf now turned its target on Mark.

Once again I jumped as hard as I could to prevent him from pouncing on Mark. I was thrown a few meters back after being hit by it. The impact made me feel like I was being crushed by a giant mountain rock.

I crashed hard next to Bee. She squealed a little to see me fall.

The sound of a crackling from my body is not good news, because it means that some of my bones are cracking back. **!

The wolf pounced on Mark's body with a bang.

I don't want to know how Mark is, because I can see that body has been drenched in blood. I dragged Bee away to prevent her from seeing what happened to Mark.

I could hear a squeak from my back. Bee must be very scared of this situation. Bee may not be afraid of ghosts, but I know, he's very afraid of monsters or other creepy creatures.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let them attack you" I booked to calm him down. In my heart I still don't know how we used to escape this threat.

"Just stay in your place, OK?" I held her ice-cold hand. Bee had almost reached his tolerance limit.

I held the knife tightly in my other hand. I wanted to attack one of them, but I also didn't want to leave Bee alone.

"Are you still able to run towards the car?" ask me with the lowest possible sound. Bee nodded faintly.

"Good, on the count of three, run my car, then get out of here. Drive as fast as you can, don't stop until you get home, okay?" obviously, still slowly.

I know, Bee wasn't supposed to be driving alone, but I had no other way to keep him away from this place.

Bee shook his head, his eyes turning to look at Mark's body in the distance, which was completely motionless now. The werewolf was still busy on it. Tears began to fall on Bee's cheeks, her pale lips trembling violently.

My heart was tight to see how he was, he must have been very scared. Bee was not a weak woman, but I knew, a creature that reason could not explain would frighten her greatly.

I grabbed her body gently. "Sorry, but I can't do anything for Mark right now. I'll distract them. You run towards the car, got it?!" I let go of my embrace and looked at him.

He's back to shakes. "You're going to die!" between her tears.

If not in this precarious situation, I would be very happy to hear his words earlier.

Bee's worried about my safety! He cares about my situation.

I could feel as if something was melting in my heart. The pile of ice that weighed down on my heart for yearning for Bee, as if melting, drained warmth all over the body.

"I'll be fine, my friend will be here soon. They'll be there soon. So don't worry!" I smiled as I wiped the tears on her cheek.

A deed that I regret, for his cheek is now stained with blood, which was dirtying my hand.

When we ran out, I could hear the footsteps of the wolf approaching. And to make matters worse, Linus rejoined. The wound from the knife had of course already started to heal by now.

"Now!!!!" I was tight, giving Bee a cue to run towards the car.

I jumped snatching Linus' neck with all my might and jumped onto his back. Linus crashed, unable to dodge the surprise attack. From the corner of my eye, Bee was seen running towards the car.

I slashed a knife at Linus' neck with all my might. It was a pretty good attack, but my right hand was again injured by the claws.

I could feel the warm blood soaking my hands.

The gurgling sound of his howling, made me know, the neck thread was not very effective. My knife was too small to make an internal wound. But his body was still shaken because of the amount of blood that was spilled.

Bee's little scream made me gasp. Bee fell before reaching the car. The br*ngs*k wolf, the other\, has reverted its target to Bee. He jumps high\, trying to pounce on Bee.

"No!!!!"

I ran with all my might and stood in front of Bee before the wolf reached him. I know this is very risky.

A second crushing with a werewolf in human form, could crumble the rest of my bones intact. But I'm not gonna let Bee get hurt.

But then, the heat that I had been waiting for for a long time ran through all the blood vessels that were in

my body. My bones and legs started to crackle,

Yes......!! I know this feeling, my mind with joy. My series has returned!!

I threw the long coat I was wearing, and dropped my hand on the ground. Claws and fur began to grow to fill my hands and feet. My facial bones also began to lengthen. And before long, my vision changed to become clearer.

The sound of the wind rushing into my ears sounded very clear. I feel like someone who just came out of the water after diving. So fresh and free. The world became very different when I became a Wolf

When I looked back at the leaping wolf, it was as if I saw it in slow motion.

I casually jumped ahead of him, grabbing his neck in the air with my muzzle. I clenched my mouth mercilessly, the sound of a broken collarbone sounding like melodious music in my ears.

I threw the body to the side. I don't want his blood to dirty my body. Now I will take care of Linus and Egon.

I turned towards Linus' body only to find he was no longer there. I quickly turned to look at Egon. But his body had also disappeared.

"Wooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!.................."

I howled with annoyance, how could I not see them leave?

I looked around to find their tracks. They would not be able to run far with that wound. But then my eyes were fixed on Bee's body lying next to my car.

Bee fainted!!

I approached his body and touched my muzzle. The temperature was high, it meant Bee needed her usual injection of medicine.

I have to check the car immediately, usually Charlie keeps some vials in the car drawer, to spare when there is an emergency like now.

"Duke!!!"  Two voices that I was very familiar with spoke simultaneously in my head.

That's Roan and El.

"You're transforming!!!" roan exclaimed with great enthusiasm.

"What's going on?" El's voice sounded happy too.

"We heard your howling earlier. I had thought I was just dreaming "Roan can't cover up the feeling of being moved by now.

"Are you guys close?" my many.

My nose can smell them, but they can't.

"Yes, I can already smell your scent" replied El. "

Goody! You guys come quickly, I have to go back to being human. Bee fainted" I explained,

Roan sizzled cluelessly, whereas El only gave a wordless understanding.

I closed my eyes for a moment and concentrated. My crunching bones shrank, then I stood on two legs and was naked again.

I took the long coat I threw. That's all my clothes have left. My other clothes have been torn. After I finished buttoning my coat, I started ransacking Bee's car. There are two vials of medicine there.

I immediately injected the drug into Bee's right hand. It took me three months of rigorous training before Alva finally allowed me to inject the drug into Bee. My abilities are now honed.

I lifted Bee's body, sat him in the car and then fitted the seatbelt to keep him from falling.

The sound of footsteps approaching. El and Roan were standing straight behind me. I held out both hands towards them.

They lowered their heads so I could touch their forehead. I rubbed their heads gently with a smile.

"We'll talk later, I have to get Bee to Lykos, can you guys handle this mess?" I asked as I pointed around the empty land.

El nodded, Roan screeched softly to express his willingness.

I walked over to Mark's body. His body was full of scratches and fangs, his condition was extremely miserable. I straightened his body, then tidied it as I could.

"Thank you, I won't forget your sacrifice for us" I said slowly.

I knew Mark well enough, he always guarded Bee faithfully from behind a shadow, unbeknownst to him. Bee would be very sad if he knew Mark was dead.

"Can you arrange for the body to be taken to Lykos? For others, you can do the usual thing" I asked El, who had been staring at me tidying up Mark's body.

What I mean by ordinary is to bury him, so that humans are not surprised by the existence of a headless corpse in the forest.

El nodded his wolf head once more. "Thanks a lot, Bro!" I rubbed his front leg as a thank you.

I waved to them for the last time, then spurred my car out loud. Leave that cursed piece of land behind me.....
