15 Ghos (1/2)
Kara reached Maxwell's house again, not only disappointed that she have failed, but confused, at why Derrick would save her, after she so desperately tried to kill him. Luna came up to her ears hanging.
”You didn't get him?” She asked, seeing no changes to her form.
”No, he outsmarted me”
Maxwell was also standing close by, he laughed at the situation.
”Oh, and i should have told you, Michael gave Derrick Tuyuk training, so every skill or tactic a tuyuk uses to kill or outsmart a wolf, has been grinded into Derrick like a religion”
”You tell us now!?” Kara yelled.
”Whats wrong dear? Hes a human, i told Michael giving Derrick tuyuk training is useless if he doesn't have the physical strength or speed to keep up with a wolf, but then he told me something interesting”
Maxwell came up to them, Kara stood back seeing what a large wolf he was ”He didn't train Derrick to hunt werewolves, he altered the training to survive against one”

Seth came out of his jump and fell to the ground, making Shiva fall aswell.
”What the fuck just happened!?” She yelled bewildered, seeing they're outside the jail against some mountain side.
”This is how i said i was going to escape” Seth said out of breath ”I must say, it's difficult to jump someone else, for a small wolf you really got heavy back there i almost lost you”
”Fuck you! Lost me where?”
”Inside the jump, i don't know where you will appear if i let you go half way”
”Well, you got us out, that's the important thing, what now?”
”Well, i told Silvia to meet me at my hideout on the first moon, so we have to walk there now, i couldn't jump all the way, im mot strong enough yet”
”Pff, pussy”
”There's no need to walk, ill give you a lift...” The two jumped around to the voice, in the Shadow's they saw a white figure, clearly a wolf, but the wrong fur color.
”Who are you!?” Seth yelled.
”Who gives a fuck who she is! Its a white wolf! Lets get her!”
The white wolf stepped into the moonlight, Seth and Shiva felt an eery shrill up their spines, her eyes blue, but darkened by lifelessness, it was asif no one stood infront of them, a ghost in the flesh.
”Im here to help you, my name is Claire”
***
”Well” Luna looked at her daughter ”I guess you can always try tomorrow night?”
Kara sighed ”I hope he didn't figure out who I was”
”He wouldn't have, for now, let me introduce you to my son's” Maxwell said heading into the house, Luna, Kara and Sasha followed him to a large gathering hall, where werewolves were still attending the masquerade ball asif the moon was never there, some danced, some only gathered in groups to socialise. The three white wolves found this very odd, the Browning clan was definitely the weirdest group of wolves they ever saw.
”This is my two son's. My youngest Jason, and My oldest Damien”
Kara and Sasha heard the name Jason, they saw he was almost as big as his brother and father, way bigger than Sasha, who was the biggest wolf of the three females. Somehow their stature as powerful wolves had a different effect on them than when they met Jason at school, that respect came in and not only that, they felt attracted to them. Sasha could see herself with a powerfully imaged wolf like Damien any day. Kara on the other hand realised now that she's a wolf why they don't really find humans attractive, seeing a wolf alpha her age now, was way better than Derrick, regardless of Jason and Derricks relationship.
”So? What do you think ladies?” Maxwell asked. Sasha immediately approached Damien
”Hi, im Sasha” she said smiling, Damien smiled placing his arm around her and they walked off, leaving Jason behind, Kara wiped Jasons bad attitude away and approached him.
”See what i meant by my world?” He said smiling.
”Can you blame me? I was human then”

Claire walked over to them and they stood back.
”What's wrong with you!? You have no aura! You're supposed to be dead!” Shiva yelled.
”I am here under instruction from Cleopatra to aid you, please follow me” she said and headed down the mountain, they came up to a large twenty four seater sprinter bus, Claire opened the sliding door then got in, she started the bus then looked at the two black wolves still staring at her.
”You dont have to trust me, just use me as an extra pack member, i am ordered to follow your command”
Seth and Shiva climbed in and closed the sliding door.
”Where to?” Claire asked.
”The hellshoogte pass” Seth said sitting down, the bus had no seats, instead it was customed with couches, making it easier for werewolves to get inside. When they eventually arrived at the cabin, they saw Silvia's M3 standing outside.
”Fuck! the cops found her!” Shiva said.
”No, Silvia is a cop” Seth chuckled.
They climbed out, Silvia in her wolf form squeezed out of the cabin door, but halted when Claire climbed out.
”Who's this?” She asked.
”Her name is Claire, shes here to help us”
Silvia laughed ”Bullshit! Where would a Del Carchetore help us?” She asked feeling uncertain about her, she also felt the lack of life.
”What did Cleopatra say exactly? Why help us?”
Seth asked.
”You seek power, just as she does, and i was senyr here to share in her common cause”
”Well ok then, Silva, have you bagged that bounty?” Seth asked.
”No, i came back here that time, but DPK's pickup was gone, and their bodies. I figured someone must have taken it, but no morgue, or police station has anything”
”That is because they are still alive” Claire said.
”But i shot them in the head!”
”Yes, but they got some special abilities, similar to the sabers”
”Fuck!”
”If it's finance you need” Claire said holding a bag up she took out of the van ”Cleopatra sent me with these items, inside this bag theryes also a credit card with millions on it, untraceable”
Seth started liking this Cleopatra ”This is good, now all we need to do is find Kara”
”How do you propose we start?” Silvia asked.
”Shiva come with me” he led her inside the cabin to the room where Kara was held ”This room is painted with Kara's blood, get her scent, then you can tell us in which direction she went”
Shiva went on all fours and started sniffing the dark spots on the floor, she recognized the smell of Fenrir blood, she stood up and looked at him.
”So she really was here?”
”You doubted me? I feel insulted”
”Just shut up and let me work” Shiva continued sniffing, the scent went out to the pass, there on the pass Shiva could tell Kara was taken into the direction of Pniel ”That way”
”Lets go” Seth said walking down to the cabin again, they got in the van and drove out of Cloetesville, then around over the Hellshoogte pass towards Pniel. Shiva had her head out the window, smelling for anything, at the T-junction of the R45 and Hellshoogte road Claire stopped, Shiva was out, nose to the ground, sniffing the whole intersection, she couldn't smell the blood or scent of Kara, but the smell of a set of tires that was there on that same spot, came this way.
”Towards Paarl” She said hopping in. They followed this scent all the way through the Huguenot tunnel when Shiva told Claire to stop. Shiva was working her nose hard now, she wanted that Kara badly!
”DPK was here with Kara, but then the tyre scents went in diffrent directions”
”Which one had Kara?”
”I dount know, wait!” She was sniffing a spot ”Kara was in the one heading to Worcester”
”So, it seems were going to every single town to see if we can pick up a scent?” Silvia growled.
”Got any better ideas!?” Seth asked climbing back in.

Kara opened her eyes, she felt alot diffrent than she did yesterday, it could possibly be due to the moon cycle. She had to get Derrick set up for another try. Geelfink street, her mother's address, was just around the corner from Derrick's house, so she decided to walk there leaving her mother to sleep. She paced as fast as she could, when she got to his house she saw his garage wasn't open, and rang the intercom repeatedly, untill he came staggering out, still in the pants he wore last night, with a dirty oily shirt over his chest. Half asleep he got to the gate.
”Kara? It's good to see you”
He doesn't know, she made up a story quickly.
”Where did you go last night?' She asked pretending to be angry.
”Uh, i dont really remember, all I remember is you in that pretty dress” He said rubbing his face, she smiled inwardly, saved by his condition.
”Well i came back to the table and saw you were gone?”
”Im sorry Kara, how can i make ot up to you?”
”Come have dinner at our house tonight”
He smiled ”Ok sure”
