On Guard

  Sophia's POVDad dropped me home before going back to work. I walked inside and up to my room to get changed into some sweats. One more day till my Quinceanera, I was both nervous and hyped. I started to wonder what presents a would get or when my brothers will be here, not to mention that University guy coming to see me about my art piece. After awhile the door opened and Josh walked in while I drawing in the couch. I avoided him all day, still feeling strange about what happened in the morning. He looked at me awkwardly as he came into the living room. He sat down across from me and a silence filled the room."Soph, are we good?" he said slowly looking at me.I sighed and looked at him, "Ok look it was awkward....no down right wrong. Josh you've been my best friend since we were babies, basically like a brother so seeing you naked just felt wrong.""Yea I get it, sis. You didn't feel anything, did you?""Of course I didn't, that would be crazy," I lied. I did feel something and it was wrong. "So I have a feeling you did come here to talk about..that?""Yeah Paul sent me to tell you that we're on guard duty tonight.""Guard duty, tonight?" I asked with an raised eyebrow."Yup. Every night six wolves are chosen to guard our territory from intruders and tonight the two of us are among the six, so let's go."Know that it was out of my control I got up and walked out with Josh. After arrived at the clearing soon after to see Paul and Sarah talking. I could try to listen in but I they stop seeing us coming."Hey guys, Josh come with me while the girls chat," Paul then walked off with Josh leaving me with Sarah."How are you feeling Soph?" asked Sarah full of concern."Yeah, kinda so can I get the details?""Ok so six of you be guarding to border that leading into town in pairs. Two to the border, two in the middle and the st two at the back, not too far from here.""Ok sounds simple enough.""You have to do this in wolf form tho.""What!!!! Seriously Sarah. Why wolf form, I don't even know how to turn at will.""Rex hon, I'll teach you. And we do this in wolf form so we're at 100%, so listen up. Did you feel something during the full moon, when you were turning?""Apart from the pain," I took a deep breath thinking back to that night. "I did, feel something, primal, even now I feel it. Something in the back of my mind lurking, wanting to come out.""Good. Let it out. Remember don't worry about the pain just let it happen. This time you'll be fully aware of your actions. Now strip." Without another words I took off my clothes and did what Sarah said, stop resisting . My bones started to break but it wasn't as painful like the full moon. Before long I was on all four fangs and cws out, eyes glowing as a growl escaped my mouth. I saw Sarah looking down at me with proud smile. I barked at her before hearing her voice in my head (oh yeah wolf telepathy, forgot about that)."I'm proud of you Soph, you handled it better than Cole and Josh.""Thanks Sarah. Compared to the full moon this was nothing," I said now ying down. Sarah than sat down beside me and rubbed behind my ears making my tail wag."Yeah everything goes to two hundred on full moons plus boys are babies when it comes to pain.""Boys are what, young dy?" Paul's voice rang through my head."I said that you 'men' are babies to pain, old man." I looked around to see Paul walking up to us with Josh in wolf form. He was muscur grey wolf with patches of bck on his tail, back, paws and around the eyes that gave him a fierce look."What did I say I'll do to you if you called me old man?"asked Paul before smacking Sarah's ass."The same thing I'll do to you if called me young dy," Sarah teased grabbing him by the colr of his shirt. "You're Alpha around them but around me you're my Pauly. Remember that. Now sent the kids off, it's time for your punishment Mr Alpha.""Get a room for two enough PDA," Josh replied.""We will after you two are gone. Oh and Soph, follow Josh's lead ok.""Yes mom...... Now go get railed we got this." And with that we took of with great speed into the woods. Soon two other pairs of wolves joined us, they were Samantha, Chad, Cole and Car. Being the oldest out of all of us Samantha and Chad took the border, Cole and Car covered the rear which leave Josh and I with the middle."Ok gang be on alert and stay within range of our telepathy. We didn't want a repeat of what happened st time," Samantha said it a commanding voice."What happened st time?" I asked with concern."We got attacked by something straight out Underworld," Josh replied while running to our post. Cole and Car stopped at their post sometime ago."I would say Hellsing," Car's sweet voice chimed in."It doesn't matter. It's big strong, fast and scary as fuck so be on guard," Samantha said, she was not messing around.Josh and I sat down with our ears up ready for anything. It was my first time in wolf form and I could finally understand the true meaning of freedom. As a wolf everything is heightened, sensitive and clearer. Not to mention the night vision an added bonusIt was an hour of nothing but silence, the only noise came from the birds and insects. Josh was now id out on his side. Suddenly Chad's voice boomed in my head, "EVERYONE FORM UP ON US THAT THING IS BACK."We took off speeding towards Chad and Samantha who were in pursuit. We bolted across the river above the falls picking up on their scent. "It came this way again, strange," Josh said focused on catching up to Chad and Sam."Strange how?""When we fought this thing a few nights again it came this way, ambushed Sam and got here real bad. Just strange that it would take the same way knowing we'd be ready.""Maybe it going on instinct?""No even on instinct it would remember and sense that something was wrong.""Who cares, let's just take it down," I replied following the strong scent. In no time we caught up to the first pair. It's back was turned to us while Chad and Sam got it's attention. And they were right, it was something straight out of Hellsing. Josh rushed at it full force and jumped on it sinking he teeth into it's neck. Then out of no where Cole and Car followed Josh's lead, both going for it's legs trying to bring it down. It howled in pain as blood poured out of its wounds. Chad took that opening to attack but got punched sending him a few feet away."Josh get down now before it grabs you," Cole warned. Suddenly it jumped up throwing off Car and the boys. It came down towards Sam but instead of running she jumped up meeting it in an air csh cwing at it's chest sadly she didn't win that fight and the beast pinned her down. We all charged at but it let out a strong roar causing Cole and Car to back down. I didn't have time to question it before it threw Sam into Chad who was running at it sending them into a tree, breaking it on impact. It turned around suddenly grabbing both me and Josh by the neck and started to choke us."Guys howl for Goddess sake, we're not going to beat this thing," Josh cried out as we both struggled for air. My vision was getting blurry and my head began to hurt. A howl then rang out into the cold night catching the beast of guard as he smmed Josh down using it's rear legs cwing into Josh. He then felt a deep cw mark into my stomach before dropping me. The pain was so bad but because of the sore throat I couldn't scream. Cole and Car stood there frozen, Chad and Sam were knocked out again the broken tree and Josh and I were on the ground bleeding out. The st thought I had was who howled if we were all out of commission.I groaned in pain trying to open my eyes, but my eyelids were so heavy that I could only crack them slightly open. "Easy Rebelde you need to heal, that thing got you real good," I heard a familiar voice say holding my hand. "Te extra?é hermanita". (I missed you little sister).I tried opening my eyes fully to see a light brown skin young man with dark silky hair with a bang almost covering his right eye. Both blues eyes looked at me with love and concern, the same concern they always had when I get into trouble."I missed you too Ethan." One of my twin brothers smiled before picking up a gss of water for me to drink. My head started hurt and the memories of st night came rushing back. "Josh where's Joshua," my voice cracked as I tried to get up."Hey hey slow down, he's ok his Mom is with him," Ethan said easing me back in the bed."So where is Erik?""He left just before you woke up. To go get some answers, he'll be back ter."Erik's POVI kicked down his white door, didn't care enough to knock. I stepped in to see him raising from his sofa."Well good morning to you too Erik. Long time no se—"I interrupted him with a punch to the face. "What the fuck Theon, why are you in town?""I could say the same to you?""I'm here for Sophia's Quinceanera. And you?""Do I need a reason to see my family?""You do when you're banished from the pack. But you know what, I don't give a fuck why you're back in town. What I don't care about is why you attacked and injured four wolves including my baby sister st night?""Wait what Sophia's hurt, how?""DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT THEON," I attacked sending a knee to his stomach before spartan kicking him into the wall. "WHY THEON?""I didn't attack the pack st night, I was here. And even if I did why would I attack your sister? The same sister that I saved thank you very much. If I wanted to hurt her l could have killed her instead of saving her.""YOU'RE THE ONLY LYCAN I KNOW AND THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A BONE TO PICK WITH THE PACK.""Yeah sure bme the victim but why would I hurt young wolves, why not go for the person I hate the one that turned me into this and ruined my life?""THE VICTIM YOU, YOU ARE NO VICTIM. NO KILLED HARRY. HE WAS YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER AND YOU CANNIBALIZED HIM.""YOU REALLY THINK I ATE MY OWN BROTHER. BOTH YOU AND ETHAN WERE THERE THAT NIGHT BUT SOMEHOW YOU TWO GOT TO STUDY OVERSEAS WHILE I GOT BANISHED. NOW ISN'T THAT FUCKED UP.""The only reason you're not dead is because we were friends once and because of Paul. But listen good. If you come near my sister again, my brother and I will hunt you down and end you." I then left without another word.
