Chapter 5

Nadine dodged the lycanthrope as it landed on the other side of the room. She rubbed her eyes with her hands, not understanding what was happening, "You lied to me all along. You were a lycanthrope!" She accused Madam Yvonne.

The lycanthrope laughed, "Don't kid yourself. I put a hallucinogen in your tea. I'm still the same old me, although your brain is telling you different." She said, lounging for Nadine again.

Nadine ducked. "You won't evade me forever. At sometime, you'll have to fight back." Madam Yvonne taunted.

Nadine shook her head, "I don't want to hurt you."

"But you must, if you want to prove yourself." Madam Yvonne said, as she pounced on Nadine. This time, she hit her target and knocked Nadine over.

Nadine used her hands to stop the lycanthrope from sinking its teeth into her. Nadine noticed that the lycanthrope was like a human sized wolf. She felt the strength that lay in its muscles and marveled. Nadine heaved and threw the lycanthrope off her.

The lycanthrope jumped at Nadine. This time, she was prepared. She gave it a side kick which connected with its abdomen, causing the creature to crash into some statuettes.

"Not bad! Not bad at all!" The lycanthrope said and attacked again. Holy hell, but the lycanthrope were really fast. Nadine evaded it and it landed on the floor.

Nadine grabbed it by its neck and tried to choke it. The lycanthrope veered back, causing Nadine to crash into a shelf. She bumped her head and cried out loud.

The lycanthrope broke out of Nadine's hold and gave her a backhand slap that made her land on a table. The lycanthrope jumped on top of Nadine, and the table broke, leaving them on the floor.

Nadine took one of the table's legs and whacked the lycanthrope with it on the side of the head. The creature whined and Nadine repeated the action, breaking the piece of wood.

The lycanthrope roared and lunged at her but Nadine gave it an uppercut, packing all the strength she could in her fist. The Lycanthrope flew back and Nadine followed it, giving it jabs nonstop.

The lycanthrope staggered and Nadine delivered a final blow to its ear, causing to lose its balance and fall with a thud. When Nadine noticed that it wouldn't be fighting her anytime soon, she fell unconscious.

Nadine woke up to find Madam Yvonne hovering over her. Instinctively, Nadine shifted away from her, "Don't ever do that to me again!" She hollered.

"Don't do what? Prepare you for an impending war with the lycanthropes? I thought that was what you were here for." Madam Yvonne smiled, giving Nadine an ice pack for her head.

"No, I meant; don't ever drug me without my permission." Nadine replied angrily.

"Seriously?" Madam Yvonne asked, laughing.

"Yes. Or our deal is off and I'll find Dave by myself." Nadine threatened.

Madam Yvonne looked at her. The girl was actually serious. Maybe she'd underestimated her. Nadine seemed to be nobody's fool. "Fine." Madam Yvonne acqueisced. "It won't happen again."

"So how did I do?" Nadine asked eagerly, changing the subject.

"Quite well, even without your weapons and armor. I think you're ready to begin the hunt." Madam Yvonne proclaimed.

Nadine wanted to do a fist pump but decided against it. A professional lycanthrope huntress wouldn't do that.

"Your weapons and armor are ready. I'll have them sent over to your place." Madam Yvonne said as she brought a broom and started cleaning up the mess they'd made.

Nadine wanted to help her but didn't. Madam Yvonne had to pay for spiking her tea. No way she was taking tea from Madam Yvonne again.

Immediately Nadine got home, she stripped and got into the shower. Upon noticing that she was still visibly quaking, Nadine turned the faucet to scalding hot and stood as the hot water hit her. Her body was battered and bruised but she was happy, sublimely so.

Now, she could hunt down the evil creatures that had taken Dave from her.

After a few minutes, she stepped out of the shower and after toweling her hair, Nadine wrapped a towel around her body.

She heard her doorbell ring and rushed out to get it. She expected to see a package of her weapons and armor lying on her doorstep, instead what she saw was one big burly detective who went by the name Nick Law.

Nadine was disappointed, “What the fuck are you doing here?” she snapped when she noticed that Nick was eyeing the swell of her breasts that the towel didn't cover.

“I came here to check up on you.” He said, stalking her and forcing her to move back.

He entered and closed the door behind him.

“Well, you've checked up on me. You can leave now.” Nadine said, feeling exposed under his hot stare.

“Come on, Nadine. I know there's something you're hiding. Please, do not pursue this case on your own.” Nick begged, coming close to where Nadine was.

Nadine scowled, “Why don't you want me to do that? There's something you're not telling me too.” 

Nick grabbed her arms in an attempt to shake her. He noticed that her arms were slick. Nadine was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing and he had to figure it out, for her own good.

Unintentionally, he ran his callused hands from her arms down to her hands. Her skin was as creamy as he'd imagined. He then noticed the thick underlying muscles on her body.

Nadine had been working out, Nick concluded. The thought overjoyed him because if he had sex with her, she would have enough stamina to keep up with him. She wouldn't be fragile and ask for breaks. Nick pictured himself having a sexathon with her.

Nadine was experienced enough to know that the look on Nick's face was one of lust. For a moment, she stood, enthralled by how intense it was before she came to her senses.

This was Detective Nick Law, enemy number one. Moreover, it wouldn't be fair to Dave if she tangled with Nick.

She tore herself away from Nick and giving him a frosty glare, said through gritted teeth, “If that's all detective, I think you should be on your way. Don't come to my house again without a search warrant, or I'll press charges!”

Nick gave her one last look before leaving. 

Some minutes later, the doorbell dinged again. This time around, Nadine made sure she was properly dressed before she opened the door.

When she did, she saw a huge box lying on her doorstep. She took it in and opened it, surprised at the armor plates and weapons.
