Supernatural: Wolfie not so wolfy; the hunter who is
hunted(14)
Written by Winnie Su
Sam turns just in time to behead the
vampire who tried to bite into his neck. When Sam turns back to where he was,
Ryan was sneaking up behind Dean with a silver knife that Luna must have
dropped moments ago. “Dean!” He calls out as warning. Sam tried to cover for
his brother, but another vampire keeps him occupied. Where the Hell do these
monsters come from? They seem to be coming endlessly.
Hearing Sam’s warning call, Luna looks up
to Dean’s direction. Without second thought, she flashes to in front of Ryan to
block the fetal move that would have killed Dean.
Instead, the silver knife buried deep into
the young hunter’s stomach.
Sam opens his mouth in surprise but nothing
comes out as the impact shoves Luna’s back against Dean’s. Ryan stumbles
backwards as he didn’t expect her to save the human hunter’s life. He doesn’t
even move when Luna pulls out the silver blade that was embedded to her body
and pierces his heart as if she doesn’t feel any pain at all.
Luna yelps as a hand pulls her from behind.
She meets the floor as the hand punches her in the face. She looks up with a
metallic taste in her mouth and sees her brother staring down at her.
“You disappointed me, Luna.” He speaks and
pulls her up with her hair. Luna twists and claws, but Jason is still stronger
than her in that position. “You killed them.”
Luna laughs weakly, “I was going to kill
all of them anyway. It was only a matter of time.” Jason snarls and smashes her
head against the pavement.
“Well, too bad, because you are going to be
dead first.” Jason growls and looms over her.
“That’s your problem, Jason,” Luna says a
little too calmly even on the edge of death, completely ignoring the pain at
her abdomen. “You are too full of yourself.”
Luna sweeps her leg underneath Jason’s,
making him trip. She jumps up to her feet and has her arms around his neck
before he entirely touches the floor in her inhuman speed.
“Why do you want me?” Luna demands and
chokes the young man beneath her.
“They are coming…” Jason wheezes out as he
air pipe gets crushed.
“Who, the demons?”
Jason laughs manically, “You know nothing,
Luna. It’s way out of your imagination. Soon, we will be the hunters of the
world. We don’t need to hide anymore. The humans will be ours!”
Sadness fills Luna as the words come out of
Jason’s mouth. He used to be so full of love and gentle, but becoming a
werewolf and joining the pack have made him heartless. He is not human
anymore, she tells herself, he had become a monster.
Luna takes out the silver knife that’s well
hidden in her boot; she slits her brother’s neck and stabs the werewolf’s heart
through his back.
The warehouse was quiet as the body falls
lifelessly down from Luna’s loosened grip and grief engulfs her. The searing pain in her stomach pulled her
back to reality. As if she just realized she was injured, Luna covers
her wound with her hand and abruptly moves it away, watching blood dripping
down from her fingers.
Suddenly, a sound of clicking echoes
through the now silent warehouse.
Luna lets out a despair sigh; because she
is certain that it was the sound of a gun’s safe. Slightly hunched over with
her hand back to her stomach, she slowly turns around.
Luna’s hazy eyes stare at the gun a moment
then to Dean. Sam is standing a few steps away from them, dead bodies around
all of the hunters.
“So you still want to kill me, huh,
after all of this?” Luna asks wearily, gesturing the dead monsters with her
bloodstained knife.
“Do you still remember the vampire,
Benny?” Dean doesn’t say anything in reply, but his reaction is enough for Luna
as an answer. Luna shakes her head and huffs out a tired laugh, “See, that’s
what I don’t understand about you, Dean. What I am trying to do is save
innocent lives. I have never killed a human being before, which is a better
record than Benny, or even your angel friend, Castiel. All I have ever done in
my life was to help people, and yet I am always the one that is being hunted
when it’s supposed to be the other way around.” The blood loss and pain had
made Luna breathless so she pauses to catch her breath.
“You know what?” Luna suddenly says,
stepping forward until the gun touches her chest. “Kill me. I really don’t care.
What’s really left of me, anyway? I just killed my own brother…” She chokes out
with grief. But seeing Dean not moving a muscle, she becomes angry, “Come on!
What are you waiting for? Do it!” She yells and grabs his wrist, pointing the
gun to herself.
Dean stares into the once-again dark brown
eyes and feels pity and sadness toward the girl.
The girl,
not the werewolf. In fact, he doesn’t think Luna ever was a werewolf. She is
just a girl who has a cursed life just like him. He understands why Sam warms
up to her so quickly now.
Slowly, Dean lowers his gun from Luna as
the instinct to kill her fades and his eyes softens. Luna watches the weapon disbelievingly
when it retreats back to Dean’s side.
And that’s it. Her life slowly seeps away
along with the blood flowing freely from her wound. Her legs feel like jelly as
she slumps weakly to the floor.
It takes Dean by surprise as Luna passes
out, but he catches her before she can hit the ground. The young hunter looks
up to him tiredly through her hooded lids and rasps, trying her best to take in
as much oxygen as possible while Dean carries her back to the car.
The stab didn’t get her heart, but Luna
knows it is fatal enough to kill her.
She stops the two brothers when they
attempt to put her into the car without injuring her further more.
She reaches up to the metal chain around
her neck with her bloodstained fingers and unclasps it. “Take this,” She utters
weakly and hands Dean the moon necklace, her words so quiet almost inaudible.
“I… know what Jason… and Ryan were talking about… Find Garth…”
“Garth?” The brothers give each other
a look. What has Garth to do with all this?
Luna nods as best as she can, “Find him…
Wisconsin… The Maw of Fenris…” Dean sees the desperation in her soft brown
eyes. “Find them. Kill them.” She gives Dean’s hand a last soft
squeeze before her head lolls back like a ragdoll. Her ragged breath cannot be
heard anymore.
****************************************************
Dean flickers on the lighter and tosses it
into the pyre where the young hunter lies. The brothers stand by the pile of
logs as the flames started to roar. Watching the smoke rise up into the night
sky, Sam asks, “Well, what now?”
(The End)
