Say Goodbye

He pinned her to the wall with his claws

"Mmm" Carol groaned in pain, struggling to break free from its choking claws, kicking her legs fervently high above the ground which she was held. 

"Mom's in danger, I have to do something" Rose pushed the door of the closet open and leaped out, Jack crawled behind her. 

"It's so tragic that it had to come to this Carol. I gave you a choice" It elevated it's sharp hand in the air attempting to strike 

"Let her go, you monster!" Rose advanced towards it with a sharp rod. 

Wayne turned his bright red eyes towards her and kicked the poor girl away before she had a chance to hit it

"So you weren't that smart after all Carolyn? I knew I smelt other wolves in this room" he released his paws from Carol's neck and made towards the girl who lay writhing in pain.

Carol fell hard to the floor and broke a leg. She gnashed her teeth in pain

"I see that you got your mother's stubbornness" he pulled Rose up by her hair 

"Your mother's stubborn spirit is what makes me hurt her carelessly. You don't want that for yourse.." Wayne stopped talking abruptly, he felt something pierce his back. 

He turned around to find the rod hanging lightly on his back. 

The culprit, Jack moved backwards slowly, his face looked half dead and his hands trembled

"Damn you little rat!" He slapped Jack with the back of it's enormous hand, driving him into unconsciousness

With minute effort, it pulled the rod off its back and faced Rose once more

"Please let me go" Rose begged, tears streaming down her face as she wrestled to liberate her hair

"Wayne… you don't have to do this, I know you still have a heart. Don't let them use you. Those maniacs don't care about you or anyone, no they don't" Carol stood up with great difficulty, her left leg was clearly twisted 

"They're going to get rid of you as soon as you're no longer useful, can't you see?" She leaped towards where he stood with Rose with a hand behind her back

"You're lying Carol, just to get into my head but it's of no use. I've served the leaders of the pack for long now, I'm the most reliable, unbelievably strong and the most ferocious, that's why I was sent here alone. No one can get rid of me just like that" Wayne defended with a sense of pride

"That's what they want you to believe but it's false. You're a piece of rag to them. You do the dirty work and get thrown away when you're not useful. Don't be fooled Wayne! You're being used, just like I was"

"Shut your mouth Carol!" He snapped in rage. If there was a thing his wolf couldn't ignore, it was putting him in a spot where he felt less of himself, his achievements and everything he's laboured for, for the pack

"You're such a loyal one, this monster isn't you. We can run away, you know, far away from here. Where they'll never find us then we can start all over again. I know the Wayne I once loved is still in there, somewhere" 

Wayne had his gaze fixed on Carol, he tried to fight the emotions he felt, he didn't like how weak and calm it made him feel but this was a part of him he had always kept away

"I can't betray the pack Carol, it's just.."

"Sshh" she hushed him and ran her left arm around his exposed broad chest "Do you remember our first full moon together Wayne?

 We had promised never to let go of each other. We were so overwhelmed with passion that night, the feeling was unfathomable" she placed her left hand on his neck 

"Close your eyes" she whispered 

"I want you to remember every bit of that moment so you can make your decision" 

She watched him stare at her stubbornly before shutting his eyelids reluctantly. Perfect! She had him in the right spot for her ambush attack 

"Can you see it Wayne?" She tried to keep him still as she brought forth the hand hidden behind noiselessly

 "Tell me, can you feel it?" Her hand was close to his chest now, clutching the silver blade tightly. This was his end now, she felt a bit sorry for him but her children mattered more. Her hand went up in the air and she brought it down with all the strength she had left.

 Suddenly, Wayne's eyes flashed open, he quickly put an arm up and the blade dived deep right into it. A howl escaped his lips as he held the wounded arm

"Run Rose. Take Jack and run and never look back" Carol yelled desperately 

Rose scurried over to Jack and pulled his unconscious body towards the door. Jack was a chubby child, this gave his sister great difficulty in pulling him quickly

"Rose keep movi.." Carol ceased talking, Rose quit pulling at the instance of a sharp pertruding sound, like that of a spade being shoved into crystal like sand

Rose let go of Jack's hand impulsively, her mother's eyes widened, blood erupted from her lips

"Mom!" Rose screamed and ran towards her

Carol looked below to find Wayne's claws stuck out in front of her stomach from behind

He pulled his hand out of her forcefully, making her to fall forward on her face

"Mom?!" It's me, talk to me" Rose shook her mother continuously 

"Mom say something. You can't die, no.. Get up mother" she lifted Carol's hand up

 "Get up, we have to run away together. Get uuppp!" She burst into a wailing scream. 

Wayne came over to where the poor girl mourned

 "Oh Carol. If only you didn't dare.." 

He picked Rose up, disregarding her punches and kicks and placed her on his shoulder roughly

"Leave me, you beast! You killed her.. you killed my mother. Let me go! Let me go!" She cried even more, beating his back tirelessly
