From the frying Pan and into the fire i go.
Flynn gave me a very rude awakening, he had to slap me to snap me out of my nightmare. But it was worth it, this last one felt too real, to close to reality. It was almost as if something or someone was getting closer. I can still feel the shivers of the cold wind and my lips dried as if a ghost passed by, fear and terror filled me, confusion and disorientation. For a while i couldn't tell where i was, all i know is i see Flynn saying something, it was inaudible that ringing in my ear is still there. When i tried to get myself together, i saw a dark figure behind Flynn at the corner, and just as i pointed it out to him, the figure disappeared. Flynn asked me what is it? We need to go now! This is when i finally got up and gained full control of my movements. I have been having these nightmares like visions since my failed wedding but tonight is one of the worst I have ever had!
How did they find us? I haven't seen that raven for days now, is there any mark on you, did i leave out an uncovered track? What did i miss? Flynn waa trying to figure out how they managed to track us down. I was on patrol when i spotted one the mark of the bone maw wolfs, they didn't see me nor notice me and I wasn't bothered much by them, until i saw the lady at the Inn pointing to our room. How did they find out? Wait here, get your things, i need to check if the coast is clear. Flynn wait, i went out and talked to the owner of the Inn, he looked back and i can see as he tried to hide the disappointment in his face., I'm sorry. What's done is done, we need to get out of here first. As we were about to move, we heard heavy footsteps climbing on the stairs and someone shouting instructions outside by the window...Capture her alive", the footsteps intensifies and at this moment we are already surrounded.
Bring out your dagger, remember your training? Yes i knod. Good cause you're going to need them now. Flynn peeps out, listens through the door and said, i count at least Ten of them, they are not much but they are organised and dangerous be on your guard. And by the looks of them, they look like the bone maw group. They don't have a clan nor territory but only come out on rare occasions. They must have heard about you and now trying to seize the opportunity. Since they want you alive it's good, it's good? What do you mean it's good? They are after me! I asked worryingly. Since they want you alive, they won't hurt you. That gives me chance to fight without having to protect you much, i just need you to hold your own till we can make an escape. You see that window over there? I need you to jump, use the roofs and head for the woods I'll find you later. I need to distract them.
As he said this, Flynn quickly release the garlic smoke he usually use to mask our scent, he barged down the door and took out two of them with sheer force, one tried to attack him from behind and he dodged it like it was tame, another one across the room threw a spear and he caught it mid air! Is that all you got? He screamed at them, he looked back gave me the signal and as i was about to jump, he threw two them across the hall through a window all the way down and this threw everyone into panic mode, chaos everywhere, that was when i realised what he meant by creating a distraction for me to make my escape.
Flynn ran in the opposite direction, not because he couldn't fight but he was giving me time to escape, and when he had enough space, he stood his ground and fought. Darmian their leader told him, we aren't after you, give us the girl and you live? Though seeing you already took out two of my men, i very much doubt I'm letting you out here alive... With or without the girl. You really think you have me cornered? Clearly you don't know who i am said Flynn. I don't care who you are just the girl is all i need., Then you'll have to go through me, so be it. Get him. The boss moves backwards as the pack attacks Flynn. Now they are being cautious seeing he already took out two of them with relative ease. He didn't attack once but always wait for them to make the first move, he knew he's outnumbered and tired from his journey and needed to be precise to save energy. The first three attacked through half transformation, this transformation is best for close encounters. You have your fangs, claws, hairs and ears and almost half the strength of a full transformation. The first attacked with his claws, he dodged and slit his throat. The second came flying with both claws, he jumped and smashed his head to the ground. The third just rushed in emotionally enraged by the loss of his friends. Flynn just held his neck and snapped it.
This is when Darmain realised they weren't dealing with just anyhow wolf, only veterans and Alphas can take on half transformed wolfs without any transformation themselves. It's a level of strength that's gotten through serious battle experience.
