NovelEnglishChapter 0398 - Josie - I can hear they are close by, at least one of them in the dining room.
Keeping crouched down low, I move behind the furniture, using it as a source to hide behind until the very last moment.
They made a mistake coming here, this was my home. I knew every part of this house, every corner. They've completely underestimated us yet again.
Who were they, what exactly did they want... I can't think of that right now, I need to keep calm, not let the growing rage withintake over.
I need calmness, complete control.
I see him, he's moving around the dining room table...arrogantly. He's taking in the paintings on the wall, the pictures...even running his spare hand across the dining room...I feel sick just watching him touch what is ours. The scoff he gives as he stops by the picture of all five of us, brings nausea to the back of my throat. It was a silly family portrait shoot Auntie Alora made us do. We were only young, innocent children...how dare he base judgement upon us.
I don't wait, I don't even give him the chance to acknowledge that someone was watching him, that I was better than him. I point my gun and take aim.

With stealth I move into the hallway again, discreetly moving towards the kitchen. Two bodies laid on the floor, untouched. I said this would be their tombs. The other one has to be in the kitchen or near the back door, by the utility room that leads off from the kitchen.
As soon as I've taken this last male down, I can move on to the meadows, help my family...get to Knox.
That's all I can think about...that he and they are safe, that they aren't hurt.
Just the thought of them in danger givesthe determination I need to push my feet towards the kitchen entrance...until I freeze.
I feel it through the pack bond and it temporarily immobilises me. I feel as if the floor beneathhas disappeared and I'm being dragged under.
Stunned...I can't breathe.
"The alpha is down!" Beta Riley's voice roars through the pack mind-link, my entire body frozen in a state of panic.
Dad... Dad was hurt. What about the others...what about Mum...she was shot also. I saw it with my own eyes. It's the voice behindthat breaksout of my trance...surprisingly a female voice.
"I've located her, fall back to primary positions." She talks into skind of radioed ear pierce as I turn around to face her.
To face the gun staring point blank at my face.
I didn't hear her coming, I had lost my focus on the task in hand by the news through the pack link. She had used that opportunity to cout of hiding. If things weren't so dire, I'd congratulate her. "You need to cwith us." "Us?" I quirk an eyebrow at her, her fallen comrades scattered around the house.
"You didn't think we calone do you?" She smirks out to me, taking a step forward...lowering her gun so that it is now touching my chest, right above my heart.
If they had silver bullets again, I couldn't take the risk...I don't think I would cback to life a second time.
My wolf is forward, she's growling...poised to shift. Readying to attack. But it won't help us right now, she'll shoot before I've fully shifted.
Yet if I move my gun higher, she'll act first...she pull the trigger. I'm stuck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a stale mate, and she was winning. Shit...
No sudden movements, I keep my eyes on her as I take a step back...only for her to click her tongue atand take a step closer.
"If you cwillingly... they'll hold back on the silver tools." She smirks out at me, before it stretches out into a full demonic smile. They'll need silver just to cut through my skin so that was a lie.
I need to act now and take the risk, with any luck she'll miss my chest and hit my arm instead. It's going to hurt like a bitch, but at least I'll have beaten this bitch. I start to raise my gun up slowly...
"Don't!" She grips hold of her gun more firmly.
A shadow moves behind her and my heart sinks when I realise she has back up. I'm contemplating how to take another out when, and to my own shock, hands wrap around her throat from behind and twist her neck. I close my eyes as I hear the snap before hearing her body collapse to the floor. My eyes snap back open to find Doctor Abel standing over her body.
He bends down taking the gun out of her hand and then moving to her chest where he seems to disable skind of camera from a pocket in her bullet proof vest.
"Josie?" He takes a step closer to me, adrenaline easing as shock starts to take its hold on my body. I almost just died...again.
