Chupacabras.. urgh

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa shot at the figure that was running away as she tried to stem the flow of blodd that was coming from her side "No." she moaned, dropping down to her feet. "I missed" she took her jacket and wrapped it around her waist, tightly so that no more blood could get out then she needed it to. She laid on her side as the sky rumbled loudly. "That's all I need." she moaned quietly as drops of water landed on her face.

There was a throbbing coming from her side and her eyes closed as someone yelled her name, "I'm dead" she whispered.

~~~

She woke up the next morning, a different shirt on and bandages wrapped around her stomach. She sat up and looked around for her saviour. Almost worried to see who she would find.

"I have to say, you defiantly don't know when to stop. It's a good thing I found you when I did or else one less hunter in the world, that's all we need."

She closed her journal, placing it down onto the desk of the motel room she had been renting out for the past week.

"Don't worry, you can keep the shirt. The name's Saline, Saline McCarthy. So what were you hunting anyways, perhaps it may be the same thing I have been tracking down."

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa looked up at the girl who was sitting at the table. "Uh, yeah. That's me, the little girl that could." she smiled "Yeah, thanks for this." she motioned to her waist. She could feel the stitches that had been done.

Alyssa pushed back the covers and tried to stand on wobbily legs "Alyssa Danvers and thanks. I like the shirt." she tried to stand up straight but felt a rush of nasea and sat backdown.

Saline rushed over to Alyssa's side, helping her back onto the bed.

“I should have told you those drugs I gave you are pretty strong, but they help the healing. Don’t worry; I have had them before from a valuable resource when I wasn’t looking out for myself. They should ware off soon, just rest for a bit and you’ll feel fresh as new with your usual strength. So as I asked before, what exactly were you hunting when I found you?”

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa let herself relax a bit "It was a Chupacabra. It normally doesn't come this far north- it normally sticks around Mexico/Texarkana area." Alyssa replied "It likes to kill chicken, foxes, rabbits. The usual stuff that someone's gonna notice and just pass off as something else. BUt this one, it's gotten a thrist for humans." she winced slightly as she twisted her torso.

"It's pretty dangerous out there and I was quick to assumtions, but thanks. If it weren't for you I'd be dead."

[sonj14]

“Always up for helping out a fellow hunter….well get some sleep and once you wake up we can go after the Chupacabra.” She smiled before getting to her feet. She walked over to the desk, picking up the journal.

“I’m just going out for a bit…but I’ll come back in a few.” She removed the keys to her car from her jacket pocket and walked out of the hotel room, closing the door behind her softly.

Her beautiful Camaro glistened in the afternoon sunshine making the gloomy feeling in her stomach disappear instantly. Since the moment she drove over the state’s boarder, something told her that this hunt wouldn’t be a normal encounter.

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa nodded to Saline as as she explained what would happen. Alyssa curtled back itno the covers and let out a contented sigh. Maybe this drug was heloping more than just her mood. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

[sonj14]

Blood dripped down the side of her scrap up face as she speedily drove back to the hotel. A blood soaked cloth laid on her passenger seat beside her red stained Kama. The attack was so sudden; she hadn’t expected such a fast reflex from such a thing. Just the thought raised a boil of anger and frustration causing her to react by smacking her hand against the steering wheel as she pulled into the motel’s parking lot.She had been gone for hours, and hoped that Alyssa would forgive her for the late arrival.

Darkness crept over the motel’s empty parking lot, causing a shiver to go down her spine as she thingyed her gun and placed the bloody cloth into the inside pocket of her jacket.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings, attempting to notice anything out of place or too perfect for the moment being. Her finger readied itself up against the trigger of the concealed gun that hung low on the side of her pants.

[Alyssa Danvers]

Ariane woke up when she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. She grabbed her wepon that was sitting on the bedside table. It was back. And this time it was inside the town. This thing just got weirder and weirder. What the hell was it thinking? She climbed out of the bed, a slight nauseous feeling following her. The drugs were starting to wear off, and it wasn't just the fact that she was feeling less nauseous, it was the fact that she could feel the burning of the wound again.

She crept outside, the wet feeling of blood dripping made her grimace slightly. She heard a loud noise, like a howl but much too inhuman to be a wolf. "Come to mama." she whispered in der her breathe.

[sonj14]

Saline stopped in her tracks, hearing the piercing growl from the creature still concealed from sight. With her back up against the motel’s wall, she crept slowly passing each motel door. Her hands gripped tightly onto her shotgun that was in plain sight for anyone to see, but at least she’ll be protected from the creature.

Suddenly the nearest motel door edged open next to Saline as the words come to mama whispered aggressively into the air. Saline held her frightened posture from exposure, relieving herself with a deep breath as her eyes met Alyssa’s.

“It must be in a room nearby. I heard it from my car.” She mouthed, barely releasing a sound.

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa offered a small smile to Saline. "Yeah, but be careful. It's a bugger, it could be throwing it's voice." she muttered, scanning the horizon. "It's smart. But we can be smarter." she added. "Even worse, it knows waht I taste like so it'll recognize me. "

There was a deep throated growl form behind Alyssa. She turned around slowly and was met, nose to nose by the Chupacabra. She forced her breathing to stay normal, she forced herself tostay calm. "Saline, shoot it now." she knew she was in the way so she inched to the rigth slightly, the red eyes of the Chupacabra following her every move. Alyssa found herself almost entranced by the deep hatred, the evil and the maliciousness that the Chupacabra held in his eyes. The shot was never going to work, not through that. She knew suddenly. "Saline, wait, don't shoot." she said, the dull click of the gun's chamber sliding shut making the silver spikes on the Chupacabra stand up a bit.

[sonj14]

“You don’t want me to shoot it? What do you want me to do then? Believe me, I’m choosing it over me on who’s dying.” Saline responded, not daring to lower her weapon.

[Alyssa Danvers]

Alyssa stared at the beast "We can't shoot it. We've got to get it to move the spikes." Alyssa said quietly. "If you shoot it now, not only do I die, but so do you. So, like you said, I'd rather it die than me. Trust me on this, I've delt with this before.... just not as... visious." Alyssa said evenly, edging away ever so slightly.

[sonj14]

"I like the second option. So what's the plan for us to quickly moving without it attacking?" she responded, slowly creating space between her and the Chupacabra.

[Alyssa Danvers]

"I'm still thinking..." Alyssa said hesitantly. "We've got to be able to run really fast, so you run to the car." she said. "I'll move slowly and when we get to the car, open the passengers door so I can get in. He'll probably take a spaz then, and I can shoot. Or you can, as long as the fugly dies." the pain in her chest flared up as she moved. She let out a little gasp. She could feel the blood running down her side.
