2. Run little Lamb run!

"Run! run! run! little lamb! run!" I smirked comfortably sitting on a tree brunch as the little wolf ran towards the border, in desperation.

 

"Yes run Wolfie, go warn the others. Tell them that the girl they failed to kill is now hunting them down," I cackled like a maniac stretching my bow and poisoned arrow, aiming at the wolf.

 

I patiently waited until 

 

" Now!" I smirked shooting my arrow which landed straight on the wolfs neck paralysing him,

A painful howl that felt like music to my ears echoed through the forest and the wolf fell limp on the grass.

 

" Jackpot, one down five to go." I said to myself tucking my bow and arrow back.

 

I jumped off the tree landing gracefully on the green grass walking back home with a smile on my face but it wasn't a smile of satisfaction. I wasn't going to be satisfied until I saw Damien's headless body, lying on the ground. Until I saw him burn to ashes, until I saw every living werewolf out there dead!

You might wonder why I hated these wolves with a passion, well it all happened eight years ago when I was 10, my dad and I were just having a father daughter moment when one particular alpha Damien and his wolves showed up from nowhere.

They ripped my father  apart right infront of me and now, I'm going to make every single one of them burn to death or my Name isn't Myra Renee Cross!

 

" Myra!" Julie giggled hugging my legs as soon as I opened the front door to my aunt's place where I had left her when going on my mission.

"Hey there little bunny," I ruffled her hair kissing her cheeks. Julie was a five year old kid that I had been raising with the help of my aunt Angela and Uncle Gideon.

Both her parents were killed by Damien, how I know? Well five years ago, we were in the woods hunting for him when we suddenly heard a crying sound.

 

We rushed there only to find him and his associates finishing her parents off, my family and I jumped in shooting our arrows but sadly he escaped.

 

We rushed to the couple only to find them dead with little Julie crying loudly in her mom's arms.

 

Seeing her so helpless, I decided to keep her even though my uncle told me to kill her because and I quote " a leopard never changes it's spots"

 

But I didn't listen to him. I mean she was just a little baby, and I don't kill children no matter how evil or bad their parents were.

 

"I missed you!!" she said excitedly while I picked her up placing her on my hip.

 

"I missed you too my little princess," I added tickling her sides. She giggled prying my hands away.

"Hey how was it?" uncle Gideon asked once I entered the kitchen where I found him cutting some cucumbers with my aunt Angela sitting on the island and munching on some crackers with her hand resting firmly on her baby bump.

 

"It was okay still frustrated that I haven't gotten any lead on how I can sneak into Damien's  pack. Hello aunt Angie," I kissed aunt Angela's cheek while she sat on the island munching on some crackers with her hand resting on her big baby bump.

"Hey honey, are you going to stay for dinner?" She asked looking at me

I put Julie down responding,

"Sadly no, Taylor wants us to discuss something so I have to ---"

"Stay please," uncle Gideon said placing the cucumber slices infront of aunt Angela,  "We are going to have a meeting in a few hours and I don't want you to go only to come back again and you don't have to worry about Taylor, I've already told him to come over,"

"Um okay I will just go take a shower then," I walked up the stairs to my old room while Julie ran to the living room probably to play with her cousins.

Looking around the room I couldn't help but chuckle, it was just as I let it when I moved out six months ago after my 18th birthday.

I went over to my bathroom, stripped down, and got into the bathtub soaking myself and before long I was dozing off.

*Flash back*

"You can't catch me daddy!" I giggled running around in the woods as my Dad laughed chasing after me. I had no idea who my Mom was or where she was and Dad never talked about her not even her name. The only thing I knew was that she had ginger hair like mine with beautiful brown eyes.

A gasp escaped from my lips, making me come to a halt when I saw a huge Wolf with red eyes emerging from the woods.

"Get behind me princess," Dad said pointing his gun at the huge Wolf and before long five more emerged from the woods surrounding us.

 

"Daddy I'm scared," I sobbed holding on to him.

Even though I was a human, I knew everything about werewolves because of hanging around Dad's workshop.

"Don't be scared little one, I am here," my Dad assured and little me nodded my head wiping my tears. My Dad was my hero and if he said he was here for me then there was nothing to worry about. 

"Ahh tsk tsk tsk Nathan, good to see you again," A man emerged from somewhere only wearing shorts.

 

He was really tall just like my Dad with dark hair and red eyes, he had a huge scar on his right cheek and a bunch of tattoos on his huge arms and chest.

"Damien!" my Dad spat with so much anger in his voice.

"Just surrender and nobody gets hurt," The so called Damien said with a smirk coming towards us.

"Never!" My Dad said his gun aimed at Damien.

"Okay you've made a choice.."

"Daddy!" I screamed as someone forcefully grabbed my arm pulling me away from my Dad. I tried to pry the stranger's hands away but he was too strong!

"Myra!!"  Dad momentarily got distracted and in just a blink of an eye his gun was ripped from his hands as two of the wolves that surrounded us suddenly became human, each holding one of his arms and the so called Damien had his huge hands with claws elongated wrapped around my dad's head.

"No Daddy!" I sobbed thrashing around trying to get to him but the man holding me sank his claws into my shoulders. Damn did it hurt.

"Daddy!" I sobbed watching him. He didn't even struggle or try to push them away.

"Daddy do something, I am scared!"  I sobbed while he shook his head.

"A Cross never cries Myra, we stay strong."

"No!!" I shook my head 

"Hey it's going to be okay alright, Daddy loves you---"

Was the last thing my Daddy said as they ripped him apart his blood and organs splashing everywhere staining my white dress.

"DADDY!!!" Tears stopped flowing as I looked on in shock!! my Dad! What was left of my Dad's remains lay there as the men laughed!

"Come on our work is done here," Damien said to his people.

" Wait what about the kid?" The man who was holding me asked while my eyes were fixed on my Daddy's head that had been detached from his body, I felt traumatized.

"Just leave her, she's already traumatized. The rogues will take care of her,"

They laughed. I looked at each of the six men their faces engraved in my brain. 

" I will kill all of you, I will make you all pay!" I said to them angrily. 

 

All they did was just laugh, shifting into their wolves running away while I sat on the ground sobbing.

 

* flash back ends*

 

I gasped for breath only to realise that it was a nightmare and I was still in the bathtub.

I quickly washed up then got out of the bathtub.

I looked at myself in the mirror staring at the claw marks that had tainted my perfectly tanned shoulders.

'I will make sure I make each and every one of them pay for what they did to my Dad. I will make them suffer dear----'

"Myra," A knock on the door broke me out of my stare. It was my cousin Chris.

He was only two years older than me and we worked together. My family was actually a group of Wolf hunters.

 

That day my Dad died, uncle Gideon is the one who found me hours later and I told him everything. He was enraged seeing his twin brother ripped apart and he vowed to take revenge just like I did.

 

"Yes?" I responded wrapping a towel around my body walking out of the bathroom and found him standing by the open door pressing his phone.

"Dinner is ready," he said walking away after I nodded my head.

I went to my closet got dressed in black shorts wih a black T-shirt then went down stairs.

"Great she's here," My other cousin Sammy who was just the same age as me said. Everyone else had already gathered around the dinning table including my darling Boyfriend of three months, Taylor. 

He was also a hunter and him and his family worked with mine.

"Hey babe,". He said as soon as I reached where he sat kissed his cheek and sat between him and Julie who moved her chair closer to mine and smiled sheepishly shrugging her shoulders when I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Don't get too close otherwise you will be the first person on her list once she you know turns," aunt Angie warned eyeing Julie and I just sighed, placing some spaghetti and meat ball on my plate.

Julie quickly grabbed a fork eating it. We literally shared a plate.

"Aunt Angie that won't happen, we like each other," I defend but uncle Gideon just tsked saying,

" I'm going to say it again Myra only this once, a leopard doesn't change it's spots. Hunters and wolves don't mingle. We are meant to end each other,"
