The Triplets' Fighter Luna
Fighter 79

CHAPTER 79

As soon as we got to Lexie's house which was right next to the packhouse, we walked inside and I looked around carefully for anything that might be out of the ordinary. I've been in this house more recently than the triplets so I might be able to tell if there's

anything that's not right.

I walked to the kitchen and I stopped just inside the doorway.

The triplets walked in behind me and all three of them gasped.

Her mother was lying dead on the ground. There was blood everywhere. She had been

disemboweled, almost decapitated and her face was missing.

"This is what he does?" Koda asked.

"Yeah. And it only takes minutes for him to do it." I said, trying to keep my voice steady. But I

didn't do a very good job of it.

We searched the rest of the house and there was nothing out of place but when I looked out of Lexie's bedroom window I saw prints in the snow below her window. I climbed onto the windowsill and jumped out, landing on my feet on the ground. Followed by

the triplets.

We started following the prints and I heard fabric tearing and snarls coming from behind me.

Suddenly I was surrounded by three huge black wolves but I kept walking, following the tracks.

"There's no scent." Koda said in my mind.

"That's because he's not a werewolf. It looks like it, but he's not." I said.

"How long has he been killing?" Dean asked.

"I don't know. I just know what I was shown. I've known about it for a couple of years. When Owen showed me the photos." I said.

"Owen was your vampire trained?" Koda asked.

"Yeah." I said.

We followed the tracks into the woods and suddenly they disappeared. We stopped when we couldn't see any more tracks and we started looking around. We all went in different directions for a few yards before we went back and met in the same

spot.

CHAPTER 79

We weren't going to split up because that was the best way to get ourselves killed or kidnapped.

I slowly started to look up and the tree that we were standing next to.

I looked up so high that my neck was crooked all the way backwards and I saw Lexie right up the top of the tree.

"Holy shit." I said.

So the triplets looked up as well and saw Lexie up against the trunk of the tree, tied up with a thick rope and tape over her mouth.

She was tied so tightly that she couldn't even move.

So I jumped to the first branch and I climbed all the way up to the top.

It took me about 15 minutes to get to her and I grabbed a knife out of the back of my pants

and I cut her loose.

"Thank the goddess. I didn't think anyone was going to find me." She said.

"You're safe now. Did you see who did this?" I asked.

"No. It was all a blur. I don't know. I heard mom screaming and by the time I made my way

down the stairs, she was dead and it looked at me. I ran back upstairs and it came after me."

She explained.

"It?" I asked.

"It's not normal. It's not human looking. It's weird. I can't even explain it. But it moves really fast." She said.

"Alright. Put your arm around my neck." I said.

So she did what I told her to and I climbed back down to the ground with her.

"Dean. Can you get her to the shelter? We'll wait here for you." I said.

So Lexie climbed on Dean's back and he ran back to the shelter with her. She was going to

need some medical attention but she was mostly okay.

"What do you think it is?" Koda asked.

"I have no idea." I said.

"It left her tied up in this tree. It wants us here." Tyler said.

"The tracks have stopped. It's using the trees to move around." I said, looking up. 2/5

CHAPTER 79

"Are you sure?"

"How else would you explain the tracks disappearing?" I asked.

I crouched down and looked at the tracks that were left and it looked like this thing wasn't wearing boots.

"These tracks don't look normal. It's not a human footprint. Or a wolf." I said.

"Have you seen anything like it before?" Koda asked.

"No. I mean, even witches and fae's have the same footprints as humans. This is something different." I said.

Dean finally got back to us and we stood there talking about which way to go. It didn't really matter. 

I had a feeling that it was watching us right now. Somewhere in the trees. But we couldn't see

I hated being oblivious like this. I always knew when I was being watched. But right now, I couldn't feel anything.

We started walking deeper into the woods and I was a little way in front of the guys when I suddenly felt a strong wind behind me so I turned around and the guys were gone. "Koda. Tyler. Dean. Where are you?" I yelled.

I looked around everywhere without moving to see if I could see where they were. But I

couldn't. 

I took a couple of steps back to where they were when I saw them off in the distance.

They were back in human form and all three were tied to the bottom of a tree trunk. The same way Lexie was tied up.

I ran over to them but they were all yelling at me through the tape over their mouths, their muffled yells telling me to stay back.

I stopped a couple of meters in front of them and I stood there straight. Knowing that it was right behind me.

I turned around and there was a skinny creature standing behind me with shaggy ripped pants on and a gray hooded jumper that was way too big for it. I looked down at its feet and all of its toes looked like they had been melted together or something. But it looked more like a birth

defect.

"Who are you?" I asked. But it started chuckling like it was crazy or something.

CHAPTER 79

It wouldn't raise its head so I could see it. But it started pacing in front of me.

"Why you?" It asked.

"What?" I asked.

"Why you? Why did you turn out so perfect?"

"I don't understand."

So it finally raised its head and its hands came out from its jumper.

It had extended claws like a wolf that didn't retract, it had fangs that were constantly out like a vampire and one side of its face was also melted together. Its eye was melted to its nose and that side of its mouth wouldn't close.

It was really deformed and it gave me a shock when I first saw it.

"What the f**k?" I asked.

"Nova." Wesley yelled, running through the woods towards us.

"Get the hell out of here." I yelled.

"No. Let him stay." It said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"People call me The Shadow."

"I know that. What's your name?" I asked.

"You want to know my real name?" He asked, surprised.

"Yes." I said. And Wesley stopped just behind him.

"My name is Bronson." He said.

"How the hell did you get here?" Wesley asked.

"You two know each other?" I asked.

"Oh. You haven't heard? I'm not surprised. I thought it was time for a family reunion." Bronson

said. 

"Family reunion?" I asked, barely above a whisper. And I looked at Wesley.

"Isn't that right, dad?" Bronson asked, looking at Wesley.
