Hunters

~Moon

Rika agreed to sharing a room with me with a blush entwined in her cheeks, and we both went over to Sky, who was a bit skeptical about giving us a key, but did give us one in reluctance and then went to talk to somebody else and we both headed up to our room and on the way, I could've sworn I smelled blood in the air... and the person who had been bleeding was dead...

Once we got into the room, Rika immediately told me she was going to rest for a bit, plopped down on the bed, and immediately went to sleep. I smiled. She looked cute when she was asleep. The red box in my pocket wasn't feeling as heavy as it had been before, but just being here with Rika was perfect... I didn't want anything to happen to her.

Going into the bathroom, I splashed myself with cold water to wake up and once I did that, I took off my jacket and shirt and looked at the bandages underneath. There was only dried blood on them, so I tore them off and just saw a new scar in place of where the wound had been. So it had completely healed... that's good.

Once I had gotten back on my shirt and my jacket, that's when I smelled blood and heard some crashing of glass from the lobby. I rushed out of the bathroom and opened up the door and I could see people rushing out of their rooms and going downstairs. That's when I smelled the hunters. Damn. How could I not smell them before?

I rushed back into the room and shook Rika's shoulder to get her awake.

“We have to get out of here,” I told her quietly but urgently once she woke up. Rika sat up, realizing the scents around her, and rushed for the door, but I grabbed her arm. I didn't want to lose her. Not now. Not again and so soon.

“I won’t risk losing you,” I told Rika and she hesitated while looking at the floor.

“I’m sorry,” Rika told me and ran out the door. I stood there stunned for a few seconds before I chased after her. What was she doing? She knew that I didn't want to lose her.

I saw Rika fighting in her halfer form as I transformed into my halfer form. She just nodded and she continued to fight, I joining her. I made sure to keep by her the whole time as I killed as much as I could of hunters. Both Rika and I got a few scratches as we continued to fight alongside the other halfers.

Without me noticing, I saw Rika get knocked out by a hit a hunter had given her with the back of his gun and I growled loudly, getting his attention and some others that were about to get Rika in a cage. I clawed out all of them that were there, and once I did, I went over to Rika and nudged her a little with my nose.

She was still breathing as she transformed into her human form unconsciously, and I transformed back into my human form, picked her up, and went out with a huge bunch of halfers who were watching some of the halfers being taken away with all of the hunters, or at least we think all of them, being dead inside the hotel.

That's when I smelled Luna not far off, and a lot of other halfers, with Rika stirring in my arms.
