Chapter 17
As the mist was getting closer I could feel the goosebumps rising on my skin and the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
"Shift now. Something isn’t right." I say.
"Agreed. You go first." Tyler says. So I had to block everything else out. I concentrated to picture myself with paws and a snout and fur and then it started happening.
I let out a scream when the first bone broke and rearranged and then the next and the next. It took about 10 minutes for me to shift which was really painful but as soon as it was over, Tyler shifted in seconds and we both took off into the woods.
We were headed back to our pack territory but I could feel that black mist following us. Tyler was trying to stay behind me but I didn’t know how he planned on fighting it off. We could barely see it. It wasn’t an actual being to fight.
We ran as fast as we could and I had no problem keeping up with Tyler as we ran towards the pack and once we reached pack land and were back on our territory the mist stopped just outside the boarder.
It was just lingering in the air and Tyler and I looked at each other but turned around and ran towards the packhouse. We grabbed some clothes that were hidden in a tree just inside the woods and shifted back. Tyler shifted first and held me as I screamed in pain as I shifted back to my human self. Again needing to concentrate on what I looked like as a human so that I could shift. Then he handed me some clothes and we ran up to the packhouse.
"Why didn’t they cross the border. They were on Ethan’s territory." Tyler says.
"I don’t know. But they weren’t there for Angelo." I say.
"How do you know that? Some vampires have extra abilities." He says.
"I know. I can’t explain it. But they just weren’t there for Angelo. They were there for another reason. Someone else sent that crap after me." I say.
"Alright. Well, now we need to find out what the hell it was." He says as we walked inside.
