14 Outsmarting a werewolf (2/2)
”He headed to the front garden”
Kara got up, her heart and other wounds healed, slowly she felt her strength return, then bolted after Derrick, his smell in the air, she followed it only to find his tuxedo jacket disposed off. She threw it down and followed the next scent trail, nothing, he tricked her! His scent was all over the place now! Finally the last trail went into the pipes and she roared, she couldn't fit in there, and he could have gone in any direction.

Michael slammed a map infront of him back in the day ”Study this map, know the area you live in by heart, and then” Michael placed another map over the first, it was transparent, showing all sorts of lines.
”These are the storm drain system running all through the area, stydy them aswell, one day when you need to run from something, dont go and hide like a pussy, climb into a storm drain pipe, and escape. There are few things alive that would follow you down there”
Derrick was leopard crawling now, he knew which way to go, all he needed to do was listen if that wolf didn't follow him, he stopped for a breather, his heart racing, he was truly scared, where did this fucking thing come from!? And Kara! Fuck! What about her and her family? Are they ok? He heard a thud above him, that thing followed him after all, good, it means Kara is out of harms way, he heard it sniffing close to a storm drain outlet behind him, those ears will hear him he knew it, so he started crawling again, the shifts and slides clearly echoing through the pipes.
Hes here! Kara heard him! She quickly lept into a tree to hide from a passing car, then dropped down and headed to the next storm drain inlet.
Derrick took a chance and passed the inlet, the roar came and he felt the claw hook his pants, screaming Derrick clawed forward with his arms, and kicked at the claw behind him with his legs.
”Fuck! Fucking fuck!” He yelled finally being safely deeper im the pipe, Kara tried to hold her laugh, she never knew she'd enjoy it this much to cause a human to scream in terror. She moved to the next inlet and waited there.
Derrick new he was now just up the road from his streets intersection, about two hundred meters, he didn't have any other way, and if this thing followed him home, who knows what then. He lied there thinking for a while, then and idea came to him.
Every thirty meters there's an inlet for water to drain from the road surface, and every twenty or so meters a pipe that leads this water down to a slightly bigger pipe that ran parallel underneath the road, these pipes are accessed through man holes in the middle of the road... He was going to try something that might be dangerous, but it could result in escape. He went down this much narrower pipe leading to the bigger one, it was dark and smelly, Derrick started getting claustrophobic, the air was thick and hot, he couldn't turn around now, the tunnel was too much of a tight squeeze and got tighter as he went down. Just when he thought he was going to get stuck and die down here, the tunnel exited into the larger pipe, he crawled untill he found an opening where the ladder led up to a man hole. He breathed out, building courage, then climbed up. Lifting the man hole cover as slowly and silently as he could, he looked out into the direction he presumed the wolf would be, and to his luck, there it stood, still sniffing at the inlet, he got a close look at it, the moon making its fur slightly purple blue, its ears twitching, scanning, its body... Derrick couldn't help notice it's female, and very well toned, he somehow found her attractive, but that doesn't change the fact that she's trying to kill him. She twisted herself and layed with her tail to him, looking into the inlet, perfect.
Derrick threw the man hole cover up, then dropped, the man hole cover landed next to her, making her roar and turn on him, out of sheer anger she took a dive head first down the hatch with him, Derrick screamed seeing this, he fell down on his back, and kicked himself deeper into the pipe, she almost had him.
”Fuuck!” He yelled, his heart pounded his ribcage, this could mean the police would come. He checked his ancle bracelet, his heart rate read one fourty four, its still good, the police come when it hits one fifty and over. Derrick then looked at the wolf, she was stuck now, and couldn't get herself back out the vertical pipe. He sighed and aimed to crawl away, but then a sudden wind came blowing through the pipes, at first Derrick enjoyed the breeze, but the wolf behind him started to panic. He looked at her, she was yelping, trying to push herself back up, but to no avail, then the smell of water came with the breeze, and Derrick knew whats going on. As fast as he could he scrambled to the next man hole ladder, jumped up to it just as the water came by, almost dragging him down with it. He climbed out and took a deep breath, success. Down the other man hole he saw the wolf now only its upper body under water, frantically trying to save herself, he felt in his heart it wasn't right, yes she tried to kill him, but he didn't like watching animals suffer, if she was... really an animal.
Kara panicked, she was totally submerged, and her breath was running out, how did she allow this to happen!? She got totally outwitted by him! And now she was going to drown! The first werewolf ever outsmarted by a human... Maybe it was best she did drown, she couldn't handle the humiliation, she relaxed, and allowed fate to take its course. Derrick reached down quickly and grabbed her paw, with all his strength he hoisted her up out of the water, Kara coughed making him feel relieved, he really didn't want to give this thing CPR. Kara was dumb struck, seeing him save her, he brought her up just so she could grab hold of the short ladder, then he let her go and ran to his house. He didn't think she would care if he saved her, animals are animals, he knew he only gave her another shot at getting him, so he was using all his strength to run as fast as he could, As this happened, his heart rate climbed above one fifty, and in the distance the first sirens started coming closer, he heard it and looked back, the man hole cover was closed, but the wolf was gone.
